Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 155:

Life is hard, and Cai's family can't just sit and eat. Because Guo Hui wants to grow mushrooms, he brings his own fungus, and Qinhuai and the others try to get sawdust. Every process is cumbersome and time-consuming. He made a lot of money selling mushrooms, but he could last for a while, so he didn't go out with the Cai family to find a job.

Cai Wenwen is a girl, too much physical work hurts her body, and she can’t find any way to do easy work. Her parents and elder brother don’t want her to go out to work, so she simply let Cai Wenwen stay at home and help the mushroom room, like It is some time records, observing how mature it is during the cultivation process, and other meticulous work, which can be handed over to Cai Wenwen.

And Cai Wenwen's cousin, Xiaozhu's mother, Cai Siqi, is responsible for taking care of trivial housework, and together with Aunt Yin, is responsible for making the limited food as delicious and filling as possible, but there are only those things. What a trick, at most, is to borrow some electrical appliances from Song Jia's family, and add some work to the bought coarse grains or corn flour to make it more delicate. At least the food made in this way is not difficult to eat.

Thinking that Song Jia was alone on weekdays, his brother had to go to work in the factory, where meals would be provided, and it would be troublesome for him to start a fire by himself, so Aunt Yin asked Song Jia if he should just go with them eat.

Song Jia thinks it's okay, usually when his brother is not at home to eat, he just messes around. He either makes pancakes and steamed buns in advance, or just order noodles. Now there is no food to fry. At most, these things will hurt you. I took some ingredients at home to exchange a pack of chili sauce with Mu Nan.

There are still many small packets of chili sauce in Mu Nan's place, each in a 10-gram bag, which he saves to eat, and puts what he can't finish in the refrigerator. With just such a small packet, he can eat it for ten days.

Besides eating by herself, Niuniu also needs to be fed. There is no dog food, so Niuniu can only eat noodles or steamed buns with rice. Aunt Yin is distressed when she sees Song Jia feeding these things to the dog. dog. But this dog is someone else's dog. Although she has never raised it before, and she doesn't quite understand the feeling of treating a dog as a family member, she will not talk too much, but whenever she sees Niu Niu eating white flour steamed buns, It is inevitable to show a painful expression.

Song Jia can't help it, he also understands that others can't understand, people can't live anymore, and they feed dogs, but the Cai family won't say anything directly, especially Xiao Zhu, who will secretly feed what he eats to Niu Niu, he I think it’s pretty good to be able to do this. Having raised a large dog like Niu Niu, who is considered to be a strong dog in the living environment in the city, is really inferior in many aspects. In the past, he was obviously the first to go to the elevator. Niuniu will also be asked to wait for the next trip.

So others' non-maliciousness is a rare kindness for Song Jia, and dog owners are so humble.

The most important thing is that Aunt Yin is very good at cooking, and she can make many tricks with just one noodle. Now there are no dishes, so I can only eat some rice and noodle. The next noodle is the simplest and can be cooked They eat oil and salt from it, but eating too much is really greasy. One day, when Aunt Yin saw that Song Jia had taken half a bag of flour, she said to make fried pancakes.

Fried pancakes are a fairly simple staple food. First spread the noodles into pancakes, then cut the pancakes into shreds. Before putting them in, you can add some shredded pork as a side dish, but now, you can only add some oil, salt, soy sauce and fry them lightly.

But even if it's just fried, it's still delicious for Song Jia who ate it for the first time. Except for Mu Nan's small packet of chili sauce, he really hasn't tasted this kind of heavy oil, which is equivalent to heavy oil, for a long time.

So he took a picture while eating and sent it to the three-person group of him and Jian Chu Munan.

Jian Chu is eating pimple paste at home, it is also made of flour, the paste is lumpy, put it into the pot, give some oil and salt, the taste is not bad, simple and convenient, but when you see the oily pancake , Jian Chu still shed envious saliva: "People do things?"

Song Jia: "One thing to say, Aunt Yin's craftsmanship is not inferior to that of Mu Nan's brother!"

Jian Chu: "Ask for a tutorial, I'll make it for Zibai later."

Song Jia just watched Aunt Yin go from spreading cakes to cooking, so she didn't need to ask, and directly sent the process to the group, and talked with Jian Chu for a long time, but Mu Nan didn't make a sound, so Ai Special for him @Mu Nan: "Where are people? Why don't you talk."

Mu Nan: "It's time to eat."

Song Jia: "What are you eating? Let's see."

Mu Nan glanced at the fat beef bibimbap in his hand, a small plate of kimchi, a plate of ready-made barbecue, a plate of cold jellyfish, and a plate of spicy flower shells. A small pile of flower shells had already been piled up on the coffee table. , there are fruits on the side, and a glass of icy orange juice in hand, can this be photographed, it must not.

So I rolled all the snacks piled up on the other side of the coffee table to the ground, and took out a plate of steamed buns from the space. There were only three steamed buns in one plate, and one of them was filled with red chili sauce. Then I took a picture sent to the group.

Qin Huai was sitting across from the coffee table, picking out the empty shells of sixtieth birthday armor from the plate, and glanced at him: "Who is it, Song Jia?"

Mu Nan let out a hum, and showed him the picture sent by Song Jia and Jian Chu: "They were talking about their respective lunches, and Song Jia ate fried pancakes that she had never eaten before, and this was the first time I knew there were fried pancakes. This thing, this pancake has already been spread out, so it’s not enough to put some ingredients on it and eat it, but you also need to cut it into shreds and fry it again, I don’t understand it very well.”

Qin Huai smiled: "The way of eating in the north, you can add some green vegetables in it. If you want to try it, I will make it for you next time."

Mu Nan sent a picture of the steamed buns, put the steamed buns back in, continued to eat his fat beef bibimbap, and said with emotion: "Now Song Jia even eats with the Cai family, and when the Cai family moves out, He is so reluctant, no one cooks for him."

Qin Huai: "So he can take advantage of this time to learn how to cook from Aunt Yin. It is said that Aunt Yin's mother is from the north, so she is very good at making some pasta."

Mu Nan is not interested in pasta. He thinks that Qin Huai may also have northern blood, and he especially likes to eat pasta: "You can learn from Aunt Yin."

Qin Huai looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Are you eating with me?"

Mu Nan's expression was tangled for a while, and he said reluctantly, "Occasionally?"

Qin Huai couldn't help laughing out loud. In fact, it's not that Mu Nan doesn't like to eat pasta. Eating soft things like noodles that can be swallowed effortlessly, resulted in an instinctive resistance to the noodles. Seeing him reluctantly agreeing now, the expression on his face made me feel so sorry, Qin Huai looked at it I can't wait to pinch his face and take a bite, how can someone make him like it with just a random expression?

After Qin Huai picked out the empty shells of the sixties on the plate, Mu Nan specially picked the ready-made sixties meat to eat, and even dipped the sixties meat into the soup, and then fed it into his mouth after it was completely soaked in the flavor. Qin Huai was willing to make him spicy food, and cherished every bite.

After the meal, there was only half a plate of spicy and spicy flowers left, so Mu Nan simply drank his drink and ate it empty-handedly, still eating, and did not forget to order for dinner: "Let's have shrimp tonight, how about spicy shrimp? It's been a long time since I ate spicy shrimp."

Qin Huai cleaned the coffee table and refused indifferently: "No."

Mu Nan had no choice but to take a step back: "Then steamed shrimp?"

Qin Huai: "Yes."

Mu Nan only dared to hum in a low voice to express his dissatisfaction, and accidentally bit the shell of the flower beetle, Qin Huai glanced at him: "Are you expressing dissatisfaction, using the shell to vent your anger?"

Mu Nan took a few bites to clean the scum in his mouth, and rolled his eyes at Qin Huai, but the next bite of sixty-year-old meat actually had sand in it. The mouth sand, it must be because Qin Huai activated the taunting skill on him that he was so unlucky!

After eating and drinking, Mu Nan slumped on the sofa and didn't want to move anymore. Seeing Qin Huai clearing up the tea table after dinner, he deliberately called out: "I want to drink milk tea, I want you to make it, ice."

Qin Huai: "I just finished eating, wait two hours before drinking."

Mu Nan: "Then make a cup now and put it in the refrigerator. It will be ready in two hours."

Obviously there are plenty of ready-made milk teas in the space, but seeing his domineering appearance, Qin Huai gently pinched his nose until the tip of his nose turned red before letting go, and then took out two teas from the cabinet. The milk tea bag was washed for him.

Mu Nan sat proudly on the sofa, shaking her feet, rubbed her stomach and burped.

As a result, Qin Huai came in again shortly after he left, with a milk tea bag in his hand, Mu Nan saw that his expression was serious, so he sat up quickly: "What's wrong?"

Qin Huai said: "Just now Zhou Chuanghong sent me a message that a batch of locusts will come soon."

Mu Nan said in surprise, "Locusts? One batch? How much is one batch? How could there be locusts?"

He grew up so big, except for those disaster movies, he has never seen a large number of locusts, at most, he has seen some grasshoppers caught in the grass.

Qin Huai shook his head: "I'm not very clear, but everyone will receive the news soon. This situation seems to be serious. If it's only a small amount, it's impossible to ask the base station to notify the whole network. You can tell them in the group, although They'll all get the news later, but it's always good to be prepared in advance."

Mu Nan quickly sent a message to the group in the small courtyard. Aite called Jian Chu and Song Jia several times, and even the girls were notified.

Qin Huai went directly upstairs and closed all the doors and windows on the roof tightly. The one-way mirror pasted on the outside was also movable. He was worried that in the event of strong wind and heavy rain, any thing blown by the wind would be useless if it fell on it. , so it's easy to put away now.

After thinking about it, he asked Mu Nan to take out some large baffles from the space to cover the balcony doors on the second and third floors, as well as those windows, and simply took out some old cotton wadding that Mu Nan took out Blocking it outside, he didn't know how many locusts there were, but he would rather treat them according to the most terrifying degree in the disaster movie he watched with Mu Nan than ignore them.

Seeing the message from Mu Nan, Jian Chu called Yu Zibai as soon as possible, asking him to find Xu Ming, and let the two go home quickly. If the situation becomes serious and they are trapped outside, it will be a disaster. .

Song Jia also hurriedly called Wu Zheng, telling him that he would rather ask for leave and come back first.

Song Jia knew the news, so the Cai family naturally knew too, but the Cai family father and son may be working, and the phone has not been connected, so Guo Hui came to find Qin Huai and planned to borrow a car from him. He was going to the construction site to take Uncle Cai and Cai Wentao Take it back.

Qin Huai gave the car keys to Guo Hui, and Yu Zibai and the others planned to come back from the farm. The farm received the news earlier than Qin Huai. The information department sent a copy, and then directly notified the farm to take precautions.

There are people who apply to live in the farm dormitory on the farm, and the farm dormitory is free, so when this happens, it must be that the people living on the farm stay on duty, so there is no need for Yu Zibai and Xu Ming, Yu Zibai He also made a special call to Wu Zheng and asked him to stay in the factory. Yu Feng drove them home and he could drop by to pick Wu Zheng up.

Because of the notification from the locusts, the entire small courtyard became busy. After about ten minutes, their mobile phones received a group notification from the base station.

Some people don’t care, thinking it’s locusts, and now they don’t have any food to grow outside. Those green plants have long been scorched to death by the violent sun. If there are locusts coming, it’s also for food delivery.

Now many people have become accustomed to eating insects, and even think that if there are enough such locusts, they may be very cheap. Fried locusts or something, think that the taste should be good.

Some people have even started to make preparations, but their preparations are completely different from Qinhuai's protective preparations. They are going to catch locusts. When the locusts really fly over, they can catch as many as they can. Things that come for free, whether you sell them for money or eat them yourself, you can't lose anything.

After receiving the notice, some people who think about things more comprehensively took their own water containers to the water station to fetch water. After all, not every house has a well, and many people are still fetching water from the water station. I think it's all ground water, and spending so much money to build a well is just for the convenience of not having to go out and line up, which is completely unnecessary.

So there is already a long queue at the water station. Many people are still talking about locusts, but they are talking about eating. They lament that they are basically planted indoors now. Once the gate is closed, the locusts will not break through the wall. There is no need to worry about the food being eaten, not to mention whether the food has been successfully grown now. Apart from the rumor that there will be potatoes next month, there is no news about the planting of food.

Mu Nan was lying on the balcony on the third floor. Qin Huai had covered the window with a quilt outside, probably to prevent the locusts from colliding, but at the moment the outside was so calm that there seemed to be no wind.

Mu Nan stood on the balcony for a while, but couldn't wait for any movement, so he had to cover the balcony door again and enter the house: "Brother, how many locusts do you think there will be? I see that many people in the community group have turned on the guy." , Said to catch insects."

Qin Huai said: "The number should not be small."

Mu Nan sighed: "I don't know when it will come, if it comes during the day, those who are ready to catch the insects will be in vain, but the temperature is so high during the day, the locusts can't stand it.

Thinking of the law of locusts, Mu Nan said: "Then is this a severe drought for us now? Didn't we say that there will be locusts after a long drought, but how long has it been since the last rainstorm and flood? It’s been almost a whole year, and there hasn’t been a drop of rain for half a year at most, so it’s considered a drought.”

Qin Huai: "The locusts must have come from the north. It is said that there has been no rain for a whole year. Even the winter is dry, cold and frosty, and there is not even a few snowfalls. So when the winter is over , The residual moisture mixed with dry cracking and high temperature has become a hotbed for locusts, but I don’t know if these locusts have grown stronger all the way south, or there are only a few tails left.”

Qin Huai checked the upstairs and downstairs again worryingly, and then brought a lot of water from the well and brought it into the house. Song Jia and Cai's also did the same. They first filled the water and stored it in the house, lest there would be too many bugs outside. It is also inconvenient to fetch water.

Fortunately, the wells they built are hydraulic and tightly packed, so there is no need to worry about bugs falling into the wells and polluting the water source.

Qin Huai was fetching water outside, and after carrying the water in, Mu Nan directly put it into the space, so as not to have to climb the third floor with the bucket, which would be very tiring. After saving enough water for three to five days at home, Qin Huai closed the door. They are not short of water, and there is a lot of water in the space, but the appearance also needs to be done.

As soon as the two went up to the third floor, they heard the cry of the girl next door. Mu Nan hurried to the balcony on the third floor, but he didn't dare to open the door. Instead, he tried to look out through the gap in the cover, but his brother's cover was too tight , nothing can be seen.

But I couldn't see it in my house, but I could see it on my mobile phone. Someone took a picture of the locusts flying over. It was so dark that the entire night sky was covered by locusts, flying densely and buzzing.

At this moment, the large army of locusts has not yet flown to the front, but it can be seen from the pictures taken by others that a group of "locust troops" are attacking the sky in the distance, which is even more spectacular than those filmed scenes of locust disaster movies. Because this happened in front of my eyes, it made people even more frightened and frightened.

The hearing of dogs is far superior to that of humans, so even if the locusts haven't approached, they can't hear any sound, but Niuniu has obviously heard it, and because of fear, she yelled crazily in the house.

Niu Niu's cry, the scary scene in the video, Mu Nan grabbed Qin Huai's arm, and said nervously: "Xu Ming and the others haven't come back yet."

Qin Huai hugged Mu Nan into his arms, and the two went into the bedroom: "It will be fine, if they get stuck on the road, they should stay in the car anyway, if they can't, they can stay on the farm."

Mu Nan: "If the locusts have no food and are so hungry, will they eat people?"

Qin Huai has no way to answer this question. He is not an entomologist and does not understand the habits of this kind of thing. Even if he has basic common sense, how can he use common sense to judge at this moment? Cognitive common sense.

When Niuniu stopped screaming in panic, Mu Nan heard a huge buzzing sound outside, no, it should not be described as a buzzing sound, it should be a booming sound, besides, there were locusts constantly hitting the windows The sound of the baffle outside the gate, rattling, rattling, came and went.

Mu Nan hugged Qin Huai tightly, and even once felt that the baffle they erected outside was too weak and not safe at all. According to this kind of non-stop impact, the thin layer of wood might not be able to resist it for a long time. It was smashed, the wooden board was smashed, and there was a window behind it. If the window was broken, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be invaded by locusts in the house.

The Cai family came back first. Although the locusts came, the network was not disconnected. After the Cai family and his son were picked up by Guo Hui, they kept in touch with the family. So when the car was about to return, Cai Wenwen ran out of the house. The yard door was opened for them, but they couldn't stay in the yard at all. The locusts all over the sky, as soon as they saw people, they even wrapped them all over their bodies.

Cai Wenwen screamed and slapped her body. Hearing the screams outside, Mu Nan was startled, and hurriedly withdrew from Qin Huai's arms to see what was going on outside, but Qin Huai held his head down: "Don't Move around, I'll go take a look."

Mu Nan quickly pulled him and shook his head: "No, I'll go with you."

Qin Huai didn't intend to go out either, he just wanted to go downstairs and look through the cat's eyes. When he went down, he saw Aunt Yin slamming a blanket on Cai Wenwen's body, and no one in the car After getting off, they couldn’t get off at all, so they drove directly into the garage of Song Jia’s family, and then Aunt Yin pulled her daughter into the house, and the iron gate of the yard couldn’t be closed, these locusts were too ferocious.

Jian Chu on the other side made a video in the group. Song Jia took a picture of the situation with her mobile phone. After the car entered the garage, the people in the car got out, but many locusts flew in with the car, densely packed on the car. The people in the Cai family are exterminating insects with bare hands at the moment, and several of them will die if they step on them.

Song Jia's face turned pale when he saw this scene. When had he seen so many locusts? It was completely different from the locusts he imagined. Cai Wenwen, who was dragged into the room by Aunt Yin just now, was crying. Cai Wentao hurried over to check. But Cai Wenwen's body was covered with bloodstains, her face and body, her clothes were torn, and her legs were even more bloody.

And it was the locusts that pounced on her just now and enveloped her whole body that caused these injuries on her body.

Fortunately, they were all traumatic injuries, because Aunt Yin ran out in time, and Cai Siqi hurried to help drive them away, so they were all small wounds, but because of the bleeding, they looked a little scary, but there were many wounds, but they were not. It is heavy and not fatal, Cai Wenwen couldn't stop crying but she was just frightened.

Some people came back, Yu Zibai and Xu Ming are still on the way, but they have kept in touch, so Jianchu knew that they were coming soon, the iron gate was opened just now but did not close, and through the situation just now, Jianchu also had Experience, so when they are about to arrive, put on thick clothes and cover their faces layer by layer. When the car enters the yard, Jian Chu quickly opens the garage: "Hurry up!"

Yu Feng drove the car full of locusts directly into the garage. Jian Chu closed the door to block the locusts outside who were trying to fly in. He took a small blanket and slapped the car body violently. How many people could be killed? How many.

After making sure that everyone came back safely, Mu Nan also heaved a sigh of relief, it was terrible, it was terrible.
