Chapter 181

A group of people glanced at each other, and then went back to their respective homes. Song Jia also said to Yang Jing and the others: “If there is something too heavy to move, you can come and call us for help.”

Yang Jing nodded, but there were only those things in their house, even if they were all blown down by the wind, there was nothing to move.

Seeing Qin Huai unlock the door smoothly, Mu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, there is no need to change the door. The quality of our door is quite good. The windows have been replaced again and again, and the door is still good.”

The door was opened smoothly, and the two entered the house. Because the wind was too strong, the utility poles outside were almost uprooted, so there was no electricity for sure.

While Qin Huai was checking the electrical box at home, Mu Nan ran straight up to the second floor to see if the chickens and rabbits were still alive.

But this temperature is too terrible for chickens and rabbits. Even if there is a fan blowing continuously, the rabbits and chickens are dying, and the generator is out of power, and the fuel is exhausted. I don’t know when it will stop. Seeing the rabbit and the chicken laying motionless on the ground, Mu Nan’s heart went cold.

As soon as Qin Huai came up, he saw Mu Nan’s mournful face and said to him, “They’re dead, even the rabbits are dead!” This is a hare with tenacious vitality!

The storage room is in a mess. Fortunately, the walls are covered with tiles, so just rinse them with water. Looking at the rabbits and chickens, they are still breathing. I don’t know if they are dizzy from being bored for too long or what is the matter. Qin Huai: “You put them Take it out, put it in a cage, surround it with ice cubes, and see if it can be rescued.”

Mu Nan wanted to find a room to put it in, but as long as the upstairs and downstairs have glass windows, there is no good room. Fortunately, Qin Huai installed iron doors on every floor for safety, so the second and third floors Because there is an iron gate between the buildings, it turned out to be the cleanest place.

Mu Nan took the chickens and rabbits out, but they were covered in feces and very dirty, but now they don’t care about that much anymore, they are thrown directly into the cage, food and water are refilled, and the stairs are placed up and down. I took two big pieces of ice to cool down, and refilled the generator with oil to generate electricity. The fan was also shaking its head and blowing, and I don’t know if it can save the life.

The situation in their house is okay, because the house is empty and there is nothing, so even if the doors and windows are broken, there are only broken glass and dust and sand on the ground, and the curtains and curtain rods need to be replaced again. It was because the wind was so strong that even the curtain rods in the room were curled and bent. As for the curtains, I don’t know where they went.

Mu Nan also put away those vegetable dishes before the top floor, so the upstairs is empty and there is nothing there, but the air conditioner is gone, the entire roof of the top floor has been blown away, and only half of the wall where the air conditioner is installed is left. When Mu Nan followed Qin Huai upstairs to check the situation, Jian Chu and the others were also there.

Jian Chu also took pictures with her mobile phone: “I will see you in my lifetime, it is worth commemorating.”

After Jian Chu finished speaking, he glanced at the broken part of the wall: “If I didn’t build this wall by myself, I would suspect that it was a tofu project. It’s so windy. I don’t know if there is someone on it this time I didn’t shoot video data, I should have filmed it, after all, I have to record something, so I really want to see it.”

Mu Nan sighed: “I hope there won’t be such a terrible sandstorm in the future, and the loss will be heavy.”

Jian Chu smiled: “Maybe sandstorms will be a frequent visitor in the future. After all, the land is deserted, and there is no such condition to plant trees, unless we can research plants that can withstand high temperature exposure and can be fed with just a little water.”

Mu Nan thinks it’s not impossible. The earth has existed for hundreds of millions of years. It has never experienced any disasters. Humans and animals have been extinct many times, but plants have always been there. It’s just that the weather suddenly changes abnormally. Plants haven’t adapted yet, and when they do in the future, nothing is impossible.

Upstairs can only be like this now, after a little inspection, I don’t have the energy to clean up and rebuild the building for the time being, Mu Nan waved to Jianchu and the others: “We’re going down first, we’re going to the garage to see if there are any dishes that we moved down earlier. Didn’t die.”

Jian Chu nodded: “We also have to go down to see the condition of the well and see if we can fetch water.”

The situation in the yard was even worse than inside the house. Half of the walls collapsed, and the entire awning that was installed was blown away, leaving only a few isolated frames. Knowing whether it can be used or not, Mu Nan feels tired when thinking about the following piles of things.

“I just want to live a peaceful and healthy life. Why is it so difficult? If you keep tossing and tossing, people will go crazy.”

Qin Huai rubbed his head that hadn’t been washed for five days: “We are already doing well, at least the house is still there, and people are still in good condition. Think about those who have lost their houses. ? Go take a shower when you are tired, and sleep in the corridor today, and we will talk about the rest after you have rested.”

Mu Nan shook his head, tired but not too tired, those few days staying down there either eating or sleeping, didn’t do anything, but he was just tired, but he could have a bath, they hadn’t bathed for a few days, and the whole body felt tired Rotten.

Mu Nan pulled his clothes and smelled it: “Otherwise, let’s rest today and take a shower first. I haven’t seen the bathroom upstairs yet. The bathroom is so small, so it should be okay.”

When Qin Huai came down from the top floor just now, he glanced at it by the way: “Fortunately, the room is also fine, except that there is a bit of sand and dirt, and now there is too much dust outside, so I won’t clean it up for now, otherwise the windows won’t work. Installation, after cleaning it up, it will be dirty again in half a day.” Mu Nan thinks it makes sense: “Then we will live in the corridor for a few days.”

Anyway, there are doors blocking the corridor up and down, and there are no windows. Ice cubes are placed upstairs and downstairs, and he and Qin Huai will sleep at the corner. First, find a way to fix the windows at home, otherwise the air quality outside will be affected by the family. The house was covered in ashes in minutes.

After taking a comfortable bath, Mu Nan spent almost half an hour brewing emotions in the familiar bathroom at home, and finally came out relaxed, and then lay down on the already cooled corridor floor and rubbed her stomach: “It’s comfortable.”

The rabbits and chickens have cooled down for an hour or so, and they seem to be a little more lively than before. Although the rabbits are still motionless, their noses are visibly moving faster. The chickens have started to drink water and eat food, although they are still babbling. But it looks like he won’t be able to die for a while.

Seeing them like this, Mu Nan was finally relieved: “Sure enough, the vitality is tenacious. I have been locked up at home for a few days, and I don’t know when the electricity was cut off. Now I am still alive. It’s amazing.”

Qin Huai sat on the ground and wiped his hair, and Mu Nan rubbed against him directly: “You obviously use the same thing, why do I think your smell is particularly good?”

Qin Huai pointed out something: “Either you sleep obediently, or I’m not the one who suffers from tossing around on the ground.”

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai like this: “Aren’t we soulmates? Brother, you have changed.”

Qin Huai directly pinched his small mouth that kept babbling, and pressed him on the cushion, Mu Nan became quiet immediately, but still entangled Qin Huai with both hands and feet: “It’s still comfortable at home, brother, you said we When will you be able to settle down completely, don’t toss about it anymore.”

Qin Huai stroked his back with one hand, “There will be a day.”

Mu Nan sighed silently, there will be that day, but I don’t know when that day will come.

When he woke up, Mu Nan saw the note Qin Huai had left for him. There is no internet now, so he could only leave a note like this. It said that he, Yu Zibai, and Wu Zheng had gone to the glass factory to see if they could get back some replacement glass windows.

As a result, as soon as he read the note, he heard the sound of a car coming in from outside, and hurried to the garage to open the door.

It’s not convenient to talk outside, the dust in the air has not yet cleared, a piece of yellow dust, Wu Zheng and Yu Zibai went home after getting off the car, waited for Qin Huai to park the car, and Mu Nan closed the garage door before asking Said: “How is it? Have you bought it?”

Qin Huai shook his head: “No, half of the entire glass factory building has collapsed. We tried to find two pieces of glass but couldn’t find them. When we came back, we might as well order a balcony door first, and directly make it into an iron door.”

“Ah, is it really going to be made into an iron gate?”

Qin Huai smiled: “I need to make an iron door and a glass door. When the plants in the house need sunlight, I will open the iron door, and when I don’t need it, I will close the iron door. This will save the trouble outside.” Obscuration.”

“Are there many people in the place where the doors are made?”

“No, many people’s homes haven’t been cleaned up yet. We went early, and it’s the first batch of custom-made ones. In addition, there are still a lot of customized ones. There are a total of eight doors. Come and install them together.”

After talking about the door, Mu Nan saw Qin Huai going to get the bucket, and asked belatedly, “Is the well in our yard okay?”

Qin Huai: “It’s okay, Yu Zibai and the others cleared it out before, I’ll go get some water, you clean the storage room first, and I’ll build the walls of the yard with them.”

Things in the house can be done slowly, but not in the yard outside, especially since there is a well in their yard, and the place where the yard wall collapsed happens to be on the other side of the well. Borrowing water is a small matter, and going directly through their collapsed yard to get water directly into the yard will definitely cause conflicts.

Qin Huai didn’t let Mu Nan go out. There were only two goggles outside their house, and there was still a lot of dust outside, so he had to wear a mask and goggles, otherwise he couldn’t even breathe, so he lent one of the goggles to Wu Zheng for convenience. They work outdoors.

When Qin Huai came up with two buckets of water, Mu Nan changed into a sleeveless vest and shorts and went to clean the storage room. As the only room in the house without a window, it was really useful.

The two buckets of water are definitely not enough, but the act of fetching water is just a cover-up. Mu Nan directly took out a container, which was refitted by Qinhuai. , you can pull the plastic tube directly against the wall to clean.

Fortunately, the storage room was also covered with tiles, so I used a brush to brush it from the wall to the floor, cleaned it once, and washed it again with a scented disinfectant. Then Mu Nan opened the door and turned on a fan to face the room. Blow in.

Seeing that Qin Huai and the others were still building a wall with cement downstairs, Mu Nan simply found a piece of thick cloth and nailed it to the balcony on the second floor. It could somewhat block the dust, and cleaned the entire living room on the second floor with great diligence. After that, Mu Nan went downstairs with two buckets of dirty water.

As soon as they walked to the door, they covered their nose and mouth with a wet towel and went out with a dirty bucket, squinting their eyes, when the gate of their yard was slammed crazily.

Because the collapsed place was on the side wall, the people who came over might not know that the wall on this side had collapsed, and kept banging on the door frantically.

Qin Huai and Wu Zheng glanced at each other, Yu Zibai went to the corner and took a wooden stick, then stepped forward and shouted: “Who is it? What’s the matter?”

The people outside shouted in a very urgent voice: “Open the door quickly, help me quickly, help me! Please help me, I need a doctor, help me find a doctor in your hospital for help!”

Qin Huai didn’t open the iron gate, but just opened the small door on the iron gate, and saw a man covered in blood urgently asking for help outside, frowned and said: “We don’t have a doctor here, only a veterinarian, but he has been in the hospital all the time. The farm hasn’t come back, if you need help, it’s faster to go to the neighborhood committee.”

After hearing this, the man turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Yu Zibo who was standing behind said, “He seems to be the noodle seller in the front whose surname is Fang.”

Wu Zheng thought for a while, turned around, went into the house and rode a bicycle out: “I don’t know how long it will take for him to run there, I’ll go and see the situation.”

Yu Zibo said: “Then be careful, don’t get too close if there is danger.”

There are quite a lot of people doing business on their side now, otherwise it would be impossible to survive in the environment of the second district just by relying on the little wealth they found in the business district before. After all, the prices are getting more and more expensive. Although the rent here It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap either. Among other things, the electricity bill for the small third floor is a consumption that is more expensive than the rent every month.

So a lot of people are trying to find a way to start some business. They grow vegetables the most here. Now that potatoes are available, many people start to grow potatoes. Whether they sell them or keep them for themselves, they are all food rations.

And the person who just came to ask for help, his family is a noodle maker, because he was lucky and found a household noodle press in that abandoned business district, so he made a living on it, and he can directly buy ready-made ones from his family. , You can also bring your own materials and borrow his machine.

There is also a dryer in his house, which can make some noodles and then dry them, which is more durable. Although many people can make their own noodles now, some want to save trouble, and some want to dry the noodles so they can be stored directly at his home. Buy ready-made, business is not bad.

Qin Huai has never bought noodles outside, they have a lot of stock, there is no need to buy these things outside, anyway, everyone in their yard knows that Mu Nan doesn’t like noodles very much, so it makes sense not to buy them. But Jian Chu and Song Jia have bought and dried finished products, after all, they can be regarded as durable things, so they have come into contact with the person just now.

Yu Zibai sighed: “I don’t know what happened to him, why is he covered in blood.”

Qin Huai closed the door again, then walked to the door of his house and took the two buckets of dirty water in Mu Nan’s hand: “You go in first, there is a lot of dust outside.”

Mu Nan took a look outside, because it was hard to speak with her mouth and nose covered, and she felt a pile of dust sucked in as soon as she opened her mouth, so she simply nodded and turned her head into the room.

Probably because they thought that if the electricity problem was not solved as soon as possible at this temperature, people would be overheated, so when they had just repaired the courtyard wall, the electrician in charge of this area came, and first took away the broken ones that were still hanging in the sky. I checked the electric box for the broken wire, and it was said that it would take at least three days to turn on the power for maintenance, because the entire line had to be re-routed, and the wiring of each house was required. Three days is the fastest time to rush to work.

It’s okay if there is no electric Munan, anyway, they have already lived in the storage room, the big ice cubes are cooling down, the small fan is blowing, the rabbits and chickens are alive again, except that the house is dirty every day waiting to reinstall the doors and windows, Their lives have returned to the way they were before.

Instead of calling first, the communication base station was repaired first, and the Internet was suddenly available.

Jian Chu also specially called Mu Nan on the balcony next door, and asked him to borrow a power bank. Mu Nan has a solar power bank. Although the sun is covered by the yellow sky now, it is still a bit bright outside, so it is barely enough. Can charge.

Seeing Lailai.com, Mu Nan checked the official news as soon as possible, but it only announced that there has been a lot of dust in the air recently, and people should try to stay indoors and not go out. When will the situation pass? Seeing that there are no other notifications on the news, Mu Nan jumped to the community group to see if there is any news in the group.

As a result, I saw them gathering in the community group to discuss the Fang family’s affairs.

That day Wu Zheng caught up with the members of the Fang family and drove him to the neighborhood committee, so they already knew about the Fang family’s affairs, and it was a disaster caused by greed.

Cai Wentao said before that when they took refuge, some people chose to stay at home. Some of them were killed while staying at home, and some survived fortunately. At first, those people did not dare to go out of the house. After all, they did not According to the government’s notice, I don’t know if there will be another strong wind in the future, so I can only hide carefully.

In the end, I hid for a day or two, and found that occasionally there was a small wind outside, which was completely incomparable with the wind that could blow people into the sky before, so I guessed whether the sandstorm had passed, and tentatively walked out of the house.

Most of the people in the entire residential area were led by the government to take refuge. The whole place was equivalent to an empty city. When it was so good, how could those who were thinking about it give up, so the better residential areas of 2, 3, and 4 became The goal of many people.

The family that had the accident was named Fang. In order to expand their business, they also sold noodles on the Internet. This person’s information was naturally remembered by those who cared, so they were targeted. It was stolen, and with this noodle press, I can do business myself in the future.

Unexpectedly, just after the two criminals found Fang’s house, they broke the doors and windows and went in. Before they found the machine, they heard the sound of someone coming back from outside. The two were courageous, but not too big. It’s stuck, if they run immediately, they will run into the Fang family who followed into the yard.

Now the fight against crime is very strong, so the sentence for burglary is very heavy, at least ten years of hard work to start, so the two simply hid upstairs, looking for opportunities to sneak away when Fang’s family is not paying attention After coming out, they successfully hid for a long time, finally waited for the Fang family to rest, and the two sneaked out.

It was just bad luck, he bumped into the Fang family’s youngest son who got up to go to the toilet.

After some pushing and shoving, the person who broke into the house and stole was fired, but Boss Fang’s youngest son was stabbed.

After Wu Zheng sent Boss Fang to the neighborhood committee that day, he stopped paying attention to this matter, but the situation would not be good. Among other things, he had just experienced a sandstorm, and the entire residential area was completely blacked out. No matter how damaged the hospital was, It is also difficult to perform surgery without electricity.

As for the two burglars who injured people, they ran away and haven’t been found. The nearby cameras failed to capture their faces, but there were fingerprints on the knife. The fingerprints can be used to find the people. When the ID card was replaced, ten fingers All fingerprints were collected.

But what was discussed in the community group was not the fact that the Fang family was broken into, but that the Fang family was going to give up the noodle press.

But the price was not mentioned in the group, but it is not cheap. Anyway, there are not many people who are interested in buying. I think a noodle press seems to be useful. It is somewhat useful, but it is redundant. , it is indeed a bit redundant to put it now, it is embarrassing and expensive.

Seeing that the people in the group were analyzing the pros and cons of buying this noodle press, it was obvious that it was more redundant than useful, so Mu Nan complained to Qin Huai: “These people are really, if you don’t buy it yourself, forget it. Those who were tempted to buy it didn’t dare to buy it, they might sell this machine to raise money to save their lives.”

Mu Nan said again: “Brother, why don’t we buy it, anyway, you like to eat noodles, although we stock up a lot, if there are more machines, maybe we can open a noodle shop in the future.”

Qin Huai smiled and said, “Open a noodle shop, you will be the boss and I will be the cook?”

Mu Nan chuckled: “Forget it then, how can you be a cook when you type programs.”

“It’s true that you can’t. From today on, the kitchen is your territory.”

Mu Nan hastily rubbed Qin Huai’s hand in a fawning manner, “I’ll just give you a massage, it’s nothing serious, am I afraid that cooking by myself will poison you to death? Besides, I My brother is the best cooker in the world, it would be a pity if I can’t eat my favorite brother’s cooking in the future, right?”

Qin Huai lifted his chin, and followed that coaxing mouth with a sip, and that bit of eloquence was all on his own.

The noodle shop that Mu Nan mentioned was just casually when chatting with Qin Huai, no one took it seriously, but the next day Jian Chu took him and Song Jia to a group meeting, and focused on analyzing the noodle press machine under the plate. The pros and cons of the store, and finally asked the two current partners and possible future partners: “How is it? Do you think this is feasible?”

Song Jia didn’t have any business acumen, all he knew was the ability to edit and edit videos, but after hearing Jian Chu’s analysis, he felt that it was feasible, so he turned to look at Mu Nan: “What do you think?”

Mu Nan: “…”

“I think I probably accidentally took a prophet’s card.”

How could this casual talk come true to my little friend the next day? His mouth must have been opened.
