Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 104:

Mu Nan didn't know if their trip was going well, but the weather was obviously not going well. Jianchu and the others left in the morning. The sky has changed, the wind is howling, the blizzard is raging, and the sky is darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Mu Nan lies on the kang, lifts the curtain and looks at the sky through the small door on the side, feeling that the sky is about to collapse Same.

"Nothing will happen to them on the road, will it? It's like changing the weather."

Qin Huai said: "Probably not. According to the distance, they set off in the morning and arrive at Monkey Mountain at noon. Maybe they will arrive before the weather changes. Even if they don't arrive, it should not be far away. It’s big, but they’re in the car, so if you drive carefully, nothing will happen, all right, move the kang, move the small table up, and prepare to eat.”

During this period of time, Qin Huai watched him take medicine, and although he had three light meals a day, he did not repeat them to nourish his stomach. He finally healed his broken stomach, which was uncomfortable after eating a little food. At least now he can eat normally. Yes, the pain after the meal is much better, but some spicy and irritating things are still forbidden to eat, but noodles and porridge can not be served on the table for a long time.

Qin Huai steamed a sea bass for Mu Nan. Mu Nan liked to eat the potato brisket he made last time, so he cooked it again. The brisket was so rotten that it melted in the mouth, but at least it wasn't hard to digest. Vegetables are a plate of stir-fried cabbage, Mu Nan likes cabbage better than cabbage.

Plates of dishes were brought from the stove to the small dining table on the kang, Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "I feel like my waist has gained a lot of fat." Lying on the kang every day, eating and sleeping, Except for going to the bathroom and taking a shower every now and then, I almost never got off the kang, and my bones were lazy.

Qin Huai picked up the fish cheek meat, dipped it in a little soup and put it in Mu Nan's bowl: "Then start to resume exercise in these two days, I haven't run for a while, take your time."

They hadn't finished their meal yet, and the wind raged harder outside. Some people built some sheds on the top floor, mainly to prevent snow accumulation. Even if they were fixed firmly, they could not withstand such a strong wind. It was blown over directly, and then hit the wall next to it with a loud noise.

The house whose roof was blown off should be not far from Qin Huai's house. Mu Nan was picking up meat, and before a piece of beef brisket reached his bowl, he was scared by the sudden loud noise and dropped it on the table.

Quickly, Qin Huai picked up the one on the table and put it in his own bowl, and put a new piece on the plate for him. Mu Nan wiped the table with a paper towel, and said worriedly, "Would the solar panels upstairs not hold up?"

Qin Huai said: "No, the snow on the roof has not been cleared for the past two days, and the solar panels are pressed down, so they won't be blown over, unless..."

Mu Nan quickly asked, "Unless what? Unless the strong wind can blow away the snow?"

Qin Huai said: "Unless there is an unprecedented severe typhoon."

Mu Nan recalled his previous life, but he only remembered that it was very cold, and almost every day was windy and snowy. At that time, he lived alone in a small single room, and even the windows were small ventilation windows, so he was afraid of the cold wind. Mu Nan even used a small quilt to block the window. It was so cold that he couldn't go out every day. He didn't know what was going on outside. He didn't know if there had been a typhoon, but there was The wind was indeed very strong for a period of time. During that time, there were fewer inspections of the private base, and nothing happened except the strong wind. Before it reheated, it experienced a very terrible low temperature. The low temperature Wrapped in a quilt and watching the stove, he felt cold all over his body and heart. He almost thought that he would not be able to survive, but he didn't expect the temperature to start to warm up.

So hearing Qin Huai's guess, combined with his experience in the previous life, Mu Nan shook his head: "Probably not, the typhoon is a hot and humid air flow, even if there is, it should be in summer."

Qin Huai said: "Who said there will be no typhoons in winter? The factors that form typhoons change a lot. What's more, the current climate can't be viewed with the common sense of the past. If there is a typhoon coming, just blow it off. It's not worth the effort."

Mu Nan nodded again and again: "That's right. I watched a video on the Internet before. When a typhoon came, a man's car was blown away. He was in a hurry to pull the car, but the car didn't move, and he was blown by the wind. He couldn't stop, ran and couldn't run away, and was finally blown into the wall, and then he was smashed to death by his own car."

After Mu Nan finished speaking, he was about to pick up another piece of meat, but Qin Huai stopped him: "It's enough to eat this much, you can't be too full, seven percent full is enough, you sit for a while, then put on your clothes and go upstairs to drink water. Water, move it a little bit, and if it doesn't move at all, it's easy to accumulate food."

Putting down the chopsticks, Mu Nan touched his stomach, and the little abdominal muscles he had practiced before had returned to zero. After Qin Huai finished collecting the dishes and chopsticks, he took the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed in the past few days to wash. The stove was always on fire, and the pot above it was also full of hot water, so it wouldn't be too cold to wash the clothes, Mu Nan After sitting for a while, I wrapped my clothes and went upstairs to water. The tomatoes and peppers on the third floor grew very well. It can be described as fruitful at first glance. The seedlings on the second floor have grown up, but it will take a little time before the results . This second time he did it, he didn’t need to water as much as the first time, and he wished he couldn’t measure it in grams according to the requirements in the book. Now it all depends on experience and feel.

After finishing the vegetable garden, Mu Nan just came down from upstairs when he heard a loud bang. The sound was very loud and very close to them. Mu Nan almost thought that his house had collapsed, so he hurried back to the second floor and opened the curtains look out.

But the wind and snow outside were too strong, large flakes of snow almost blocked his sight, and the sky was very gloomy. At most, he could see the gate of his own yard a little farther away. Some of them couldn't be seen clearly, but after a careful inspection of my house, the windows were all intact and there were no cracks, so I was relieved.

When I went downstairs, I saw Qin Huai had just entered the door wearing out clothes. A thin layer of ice had already formed on his body. He didn't know how long he had been out. As soon as he took off the mask, his face and nose turned red from the cold: "Didn't you just now?" Are you doing laundry, why are you out? Why are you going out with such a strong wind outside?"

Qin Huai didn't let Mu Nan get close. Mu Nan stayed at home and put on a down jacket. He didn't want the cold air brought in from outside to chill Mu Nan again: "Stay away from me, wait for me to go After warming up by the fire, I went out to have a look, the sound was so loud just now, I was afraid the yard had collapsed, but fortunately, it wasn’t our side, the yard and houses are all fine.”

Mu Nan hurriedly wiped Qin Huai's hands and face with hot water, and then wiped him with frostbite frost, even though it took only a short while, it was easy to get frostbite.

While Qin Huai was warming up by the fire, it started to thunder outside, and one after another the thunderstorms almost broke the sky. Mu Nan didn't get on the kang, but squatted next to Qin Huai in front of the stove with him. Qin Huai smiled and said, "Afraid?"

Mu Nan threw firewood into the stove: "Don't be afraid, it's just thunder. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Before the words were finished, several thunderstorms rang through the sky one after another, and Mu Nan leaned towards Qinhuai. The thunder was so loud that those who beat him suspected that the house was about to be split. Qin Huai asked, "Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Mu Nan looked at the fire in the stove: "Can we cook roast chicken?"

Qin Huai thought for a while and said, "You can make Orleans flavor, or honey sauce chicken, which one do you want?"

Mu Nan just said it casually, seeing that Qin Huai had really thought about it seriously, and said, "Is it true? Isn't it troublesome?"

Qin Huai said: "It's not troublesome, the fire is ready-made, and the chicken that has been processed is also ready-made, that is, the seasoning needs to be mixed, and then put in to roast, but you can't eat too much after cooking, at most, you can eat a chicken leg for afternoon tea , Put what you can’t finish into the space, and eat it next time you want to eat.”

I thought that there was nothing to do right now, and I just went to take a nap if I didn’t bother to eat, but now Donglei hit one after another, and the wind and snow outside were so strong that I didn’t know how many things were blown over the roof of the house. From time to time, there is a sound of smashing here, and there is a clanging sound of smashing there. I can't sleep, so I said: "Okay, what seasonings do you want? I'll choose a small tender chicken that is not too big or small."

Qin Huai said the same thing as Mu Nan took from the space. Honey sauce chicken is easier to cook. Some seasonings are mixed with honey, and then rubbed on the chicken, then wrapped in tin foil, wrapped in a few more layers and placed in a baking tray , buried in the ashes near the fire.

Watching Qin Huai pour honey into the seasoning, Mu Nan said, "Will it smell like honey when it's baked? I don't like the smell of honey. I always feel that the smell of honey smells like alcohol."

Qin Huai nodded the prepared ingredients with his finger and said to Mu Nan, "Try it?"

Mu Nan really stuck out his tongue and was about to lick it, but before he could touch Qin Huai's fingertips, Qin Huai tapped his nose with his seasoned hand: "If I let you taste it, you will really taste it." Ah, silly or not."

Mu Nan touched the oil on his nose, then reached out and wiped it off Qin Huai's face: "Qin Huai!"

Qin Huai said: "Don't make trouble, if you mess up the chicken, you won't have anything to eat."

Mu Nan insisted on rubbing his face before giving up. This person is really, his bad personality really hasn't changed at all!

When they were making roast chicken in the house, Jian Chu and their side did not go as smoothly as expected. Before they reached Monkey Mountain, the sky began to change halfway, and the moment of the storm made it difficult to walk. The road became more difficult to walk. The most troublesome thing was that the sky was gloomy. Even with the headlights on, the road conditions five meters away could not be seen clearly, but the car could not stop. Keep going.

Originally, Jian Chu and the others drove the way. After all, they had been there once, so they knew the route, but now the sky is snowing heavily, and the sky is gloomy. The range of vision is too short, and the road is not the kind of familiar road that can be walked with eyes closed. , just as they were about to discuss with Team Yuan behind them, or they should turn back. The weather suddenly changed, and they don’t know how long this bad weather will last. Materials are important, but safety comes first.

Unexpectedly, Team Yuan, who was walking behind, made the driving soldiers speed up, and instead drove in front of them to lead them the way. Looking at the vehicle in front of him, Song Jia said, "Brother Jun is the most reliable. No wonder my former female classmates voted the number one future husband is Brother Bing."

Jian Chu in front smiled and said: "You know this, it seems that you have infiltrated the girls?"

Song Jia sighed: "It's just a girlfriend if you get involved, and no one thinks about a boyfriend."

Xu Ming looked at the weather outside the car window, and sighed: "Is our luck a bit too bad, if the weather changes, it will change."

Since the soldiers in front opened the way, they obviously didn't intend to turn back. In fact, they didn't really want to turn back. This road has been driving for at least two hours. Compared with taking another two hours to go back, maybe another half an hour will be able Arriving at Monkey Mountain, Yu Zibo said: "I just hope everything will go well in the future. I would rather have less things to trade, and it's better not to have any troubles."

Because the line of sight is blocked, it has been more than an hour since we drove to Monkey Mountain. There are houses under Monkey Mountain. Monkey Mountain is also a tourist attraction. It is not a very steep hillside. One side of Monkey Mountain is The stairs were built, there used to be a sightseeing cable car, and a winding driveway was built on the side, but the snow is so deep that it is very dangerous whether going up or down the mountain, even if their car has modified snow tires, if it is The car skidded, but it was fatal.

If it was summer, they could still drive directly up the mountain, but now they dare not, so they drove to the place agreed last time. It used to be a service station, a small flat floor. No one lives there, but it's okay to park your car for a while.

In order to prevent the vehicle from being too cold to turn off the ignition, they specially brought some firewood braziers this time. There are windows on one side of the hall, but they were shattered by the earthquake. It has been frozen hard, but at least it can slightly block the wind and snow blowing in from the gate.

Team Yuan said: "How do you contact them? Do you want to find them?"

Xu Ming said: "No, just honk the horn. They don't live high, that is, a little far behind here. It's just that the wind and snow are so heavy today. I don't know if the sound of the horn can be transmitted."

Jian Chu had already honked the horn several times, and then took out the brazier and firewood from the car: "Sir, fire the fire to keep warm, and then press it again when no one comes down later, and then you have to go back if no one comes down. "It's impossible to go up, who knows what's going on up there, it's their territory, how can they go up there so stupidly.

But before they were asked to wait long, a group of people came down, but this time the faces of the people who came were very unfamiliar, and they had never seen Jian Chu before, so naturally they became a little wary.

There were three people who came, and they didn't bring anything with them. When they saw the people in the room, a middle-aged man who walked in the front said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't come in this weather, but I didn't expect you to be so Shouxin, hello, I'm Xinzi's second uncle. Xinzi is the black boy who changed things with you last time. I don’t know how many things you have brought, how do you plan to change this time?”

Yu Zibo and the others didn't speak, Yuan Gang said directly: "It depends on how many live animals you can produce this time. Of course, we will also accept the dead ones, but the price of the dead ones is definitely different from that of the live ones. Let's talk slowly."

Obviously the man who came down was indeed prepared to come: "Thirty live rabbits, each rabbit weighs at least six catties, which is not as detailed as your calculation, twenty catties of rice, one rabbit, five pheasants, Three live ones, two dead ones, ten catties of live rice, one catty of rice, and eight catties of dead ones, oil and salt can be converted separately, how much can you exchange?"

Yuan Gang said: "Are there other things besides these? Leather, or some mountain goods."

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard the words: "The whole mountain is bald in summer, and now there are no two logs that can be used for heating. Where are the mountain products? Not many people in the mountains can go out, so these things have time to multiply, let alone rabbits, I’m afraid there are no rabbit fur, that’s all, do you want it.”

Yuan Gang pondered for a moment: "The price is high. If you are sincere, this will not be the last transaction. If not, we will not lose much if we don't trade."

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, he still smiled and said: "The price, let's talk slowly. Now it's not as good as before. Coins are unified and easy to trade. There is no fixed number for rice, flour, grain and oil. It has to be negotiated when both parties feel that it is worthwhile and not at a loss. right?"

Yuan Gang said: "Of course."

Jianchu thought that the soldiers were very straightforward, and even thought that he might have to come to bargain. Xu Ming is a veterinarian, so he can't be counted on. It's really not good, Song Jia, he looks a bit stupid, and he can't be counted on. He is the only one who has been struggling in the society for so many years. I didn't expect that Team Yuan would bargain more than him. Both sides you Those who came and went, although they were all smiling, seemed to be like swords and swords. In the end, they exchanged 200 catties of rice, 50 catties of flour, 10 catties of sauerkraut, 20 catties of oil, and 20 catties of salt for 30 catties. One rabbit, five chickens, and ten rabbit skins.

After the price was negotiated, the middle-aged man glanced at a young man behind him: "Go and let them bring the things over."

The man glanced at Yuan Gang and the others, then put on his mask, turned around and walked up the mountain.

The rest of the transaction went smoothly, and two more people came down from their side. After all, hundreds of catties of rice had to be resisted. The middle-aged man smiled at them and said, "I don't know if we can do it next time." When do you trade?"

Yuan Gang said: "A month later, I hope you can catch more living things by then, and we will bring more things over then."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, happy cooperation."

Yuan Gang smiled and frowned as he watched a group of them leave.

They were quite happy at the beginning of Jian. They thought there would be some twists and turns, but they didn't expect it to go so smoothly. At least half of these rabbits belonged to them. When the time came, they would save some for themselves, and exchange the rest for points. This trip would not be a loss. Now You can go back, before it gets dark, oh no, it’s completely dark now, you should be able to get home before night, and you don’t have to spend the night outside.

Xu Ming, on the other hand, noticed Yuan Gang's expression was not quite right, and said, "Is there any problem?"

Yuan Gang said: "The snow on the trousers is different. The two people who came later should have just come down from the mountain with the rabbit, so the snow on the shoes on their bodies will not be more than that of the people who called them to trade."

Song Jia whispered: "Maybe he came from another place, maybe the family lives higher?"

A soldier following Yuan Gang said: "When that man was negotiating the price just now, he seemed a little too indifferent. Although he was holding on tightly, he felt like he didn't care how low we would lower the price."

When they said this, both Jian Chu and Song Jia were a little nervous, and even felt like they would be ambushed as soon as they went out.

Yuan Gang glanced at the two soldiers, and the two immediately went out to check the situation outside. After a while, they came back and said, "There seems to be no problem."

Yuan Gang said: "Get in the car and go back." He looked at Yu Zibai and the others, "You follow behind."

On the way back, the wind and snow were a little lighter, but because the sky was almost dark at night, I drove more slowly. When I was about to drive out of Monkey Mountain, the car in front stopped suddenly, and Yuan Gang got out of the car after a while , Jian Chu, who was behind, naturally stopped, and Xu Ming, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said, "I'll go and see, you don't move."

Xu Ming also got out of the car and saw Yuan Gang rummaging for something in the snow. In the end, he kicked out rows of steel nails in the snow three or four meters away from where they parked. The sharpened ones are buried in the snow, and even snow tires can be directly stuck in if the vehicle runs over them. If the icy tire blows out, there will be a replacement after one blows out. If two blow outs, As a result, I am afraid that there is only death.

When they came back, Qin Huai was cleaning the bird's nest that had been soaked for a little bit of swallow hair. Generally, the top-quality bird's nest is very clean, and it can be used after soaking. He also bought some of these when he and Mu Nan were shopping at the mall. In addition to the top-level ones, the ones that are slightly inferior, and even some broken cups, I bought some broken cups. At the moment, I soaked some broken cups, so I need to clean up the remaining hair. After cleaning it, change the water and soak it again. You can do it later Make some dessert for Mu Nan.

Mu Nan was leaning on the cushion and watching the movie, while Qin Huai was sitting on the other side cleaning the swallow's fur. Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "These things seem to be IQ tax, and the nutritional value is not as magical as in the legend. , and these are eaten by girls."

Qin Huai said: "Occasionally eat once or twice, of course it has no nutritional value. You can see the difference between long-term eating and occasional eating. Besides, according to what you said, girls eat more dessert milk tea, and boys eat more. Can't eat?"

Mu Nan snorted: "I can't tell you."

Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "Then do you want to eat it or not? I will make a milk custard with bird's nest later, and then make some fried fresh milk."

Mu Nan hurriedly said: "Eat!" Why not eat something delicious, and the price of this food is not cheap, no matter whether it has nutritional value, as long as it is delicious.

While the two were talking, the sound of a car came from the door. Mu Nan picked up the phone and looked at it. It was only six o'clock, and he was a little happy and said, "They went back and forth that day, and it seems that things are going well."

Qin Huai put the bird's nest soaked in water into the cabinet beside the bed, and then got up: "I'll go and have a look."

There were two cars at the door, and when Yu Zibai and the others got out of the car, a soldier got out of the other car, and they drove away together, lest they have to go to Building No. 1 to return the car and then walk back. Song Jia went back to him directly, Xu Ming and the others walked towards the gate, and before Qin Huai could ask, Jian Chu sighed: "It was almost cold outside."
