Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Outside the base, in an abandoned old village, Qiao Qingqing's family is in their sleep repairing the exhaustion caused by a busy day.

When she was sleeping, Qiao Qingqing dreamed of the scene of a major earthquake in her previous life. At that time, she was detained and the trial for her homicide had already come down. She looked out the small window in the detention room and could only see a thick darkness. In the sleepless night, she thought a lot, she let herself indulge in the beautiful dreams of the past, and didn't care about her imminent death. Her eyes suddenly lit up. The light was so dazzling that she couldn't ignore it. She thought it was her hallucination. It wasn't until there was noise from other detention rooms that the guards outside lost their composure and started talking, and then she ran excitedly. , It turned out that the sun came out.

It was about seven o'clock in the morning, and the eternal night came to an abrupt end. On that day, people saw the rising sun and the rising sun.

How dazzling, the rising sun ignited the despairing and hopeless hearts of many people. Even in the detention room, Qiao Qingqing could hear the excited cry of the waves outside.

Then everything suddenly turned upside down, the wall collapsed, the iron gate was deformed, Qiao Qingqing climbed out of the ruins, and ran wildly in the purgatory on earth, until the injuries on her body overwhelmed her, she fell to the ground, the last picture of her life is the sun , and running past her, countless pairs of feet to survive.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Qiao Qingqing looked at the top of the tent, surrounded by the breathing of his mother and mother-in-law, and sporadic chirping of chickens in the chicken coop outside, showing that the new environment made them uneasy. She calmed down the remaining emotions in the dream and went back to sleep.

After moving, the family's life can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the living environment has greatly deteriorated. However, everyone has experienced the years of escaping, and they get used to it after a few days of adaptation.

All the chickens raised at home are killed, some are saved, some are kept to eat, and they eat one meal a day, raising the whole family to a bright red face. Those who can continue to raise will be brought over to continue raising. The next day, Shao's father and Shao Sheng'an rebuilt the fence for the chickens to live in. The chickens could not adapt to it in the first two days, and the hens laid fewer eggs. After adapting to the new environment, he clucked and begged for food. Every day, Shao Shengfei would lead them out for a walk. The chickens pecked at the stones on the road and the weeds that sprout. Shao Shengfei shouted anxiously, "Da Bao is back!"

"Oh, seeing that they finally have the energy to eat, my heart is finally put into my stomach!" Shao's mother smiled happily.

The movement of the chickens attracted the attention of other neighbors, and some people came to ask how the chickens were sold.

These chickens are raised by Qiao Qingqing's family to supplement their meat resources. They have no intention of selling them. If people really want to buy them, the price is not cheap. After a few families asked, they gave up the idea of ​​buying chickens and bought eggs instead. . They don't sell eggs either. Qiao Qingqing said, "We don't sell adult chickens, but we can sell your newly hatched chicks. You can buy chicks and raise them yourself."

Who has extra food to feed the chickens these days?

In the end, only one family bought two chickens, one male and one female. The one who bought the chickens was the couple who met the water-fetching couple that night. The man said that his surname was Lian and his name was Lian Junhe. After that, I decided to be more diligent to dig weeds and come back to feed the chickens.

The supplies Lian Junhe exchanged for the chickens were half a bag of corn and wild vegetable miscellaneous grain cakes made by himself. Qiao Qingqing's family had never eaten this kind of food. Shao's father took a bite and frowned slightly: "It's so hard, it's so hard, it sucks like a bite. Sand, there must be more than cornmeal and wild vegetables in it, ahem, there should be other additions."

"It tastes weird." Qiao Songzhi swallowed hard and took a gulp of water.

Qiao Qingqing took a bite without changing his color: "Actually, it's quite delicious. This kind of cake is quite good, and many people can't eat it."

"The taste is actually not bad, but I'm not used to it, so I boil the rest with water. Let's cook." Mother Shao said.

"Hey, we just have a good time, we can't do this." Qiao Songzhi nodded, "Listen to Asia, the rest can be eaten by boiling it with water."

Qiao Qingqing really thinks it is delicious. After cooking, it turned into a paste, but it didn't taste good. When she sat at the door guarding the chicken at home, she held the piece in her hand and nibbled it slowly. The more she nibbled, the more fragrant she felt.

The days here are definitely not as stable as the Ping An community. On the seventh night of the settlement, the house was invaded by thieves.

The thief stepped on the trap and ran away with a scream. Qiao Qingqing told Shao Shengan to stop chasing him.

"Don't chase, I added some good things to the trap." Her face showed two points of coldness under the light.

Shao Shengan remembered the traps arranged by his wife, and asked curiously, "Are you poisoned?" The

coldness on Qiao Qingqing's face disappeared, and she couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible, it's not a TV series." Then she said softly, " I added some acid rain in it, so that person shouldn't be wearing shoes to avoid making a big noise. He should wear socks at most. If he steps on it, he will first be pierced by bamboo chips, and then he will encounter acid rain—"

Recalling the power of acid rain , Shao Sheng Anxin has lingering fears: "That's better than poison." The

thief stumbled and fled, but the more he ran, the more pain his feet became, it was like a heartbreak. He felt the fine sand on the road getting into the wound, and in addition to the pain from the sharp object on the sole of the foot, there was a pain that seemed to corrode flesh, and the pain caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.

There was no chasing behind him, he crawled into the corner, panted and turned on the flashlight. The flashlight ran out of power, and the light flickered a few times and then went out, but it took him more than ten seconds to see the injury on his foot.

"Ugh..." He grunted in pain.

"There seems to be some noise—"

"It sounds scary, don't go out!"

"I'm afraid it's a thief! Mother, I'm going out to catch the thief, the cake we lost before must have been stolen!"

"Don't go. It's so dark outside..."

The voice of the resident came from the house next door.

The thief bit the sleeve of his clothes and didn't dare to make a sound. After a while, he took off his clothes, wrapped his feet, and limped back to his home.

"Go to sleep, the thief should not come again." Qiao Qingqing said to the family.

When the patrol came over, Qiao Qingqing also met an acquaintance.

Liu Zhaoyun was surprised to see Qiao Qingqing: "Why did your family live here? Is there something wrong with your family? Do you need help?" She remembered that Qingqing's family was in the Ping An community, which was one of the most popular core new communities. .

"My family has a little phobia of natural disasters and is afraid of the upcoming big earthquake, so I sold the house and moved here."

Listening to Qiao Qingqing's explanation, Liu Zhaoyun understood some, but not some.

"In the past few years, a lot of people have had a phobia of natural disasters. Oh, there is no way, but why are you willing to sell the house? After you sell the house, it will be troublesome if you want to buy it back. The house price has risen twice as fast as before!"

"It's okay, first Let's get through this difficult time, and we'll make arrangements for the future." Qiao Qingqing couldn't tell anyone other than her husband and mother about the earthquake. After that, the so-called new community, the so-called outside of the base, and the so-called field of the base, all were It has become the same place, everyone is on the same line of survival, where they can live, and the houses in the core community are irrelevant.

"Then you have to pay attention to safety. The periphery is definitely not as safe as the Ping An community."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and nodded: "You too."

After saying goodbye to Liu Zhaoyun, Qiao Qingqing walked back to her house and saw her husband killing chickens, a small bench. There is a stainless steel basin on it, which is filled with chicken blood. Shao Sheng An quickly stuffed the blooded chicken into the hot water that had just been boiled, and when he heard the movement, he raised his head: "We're done talking? Why didn't you bring her to sit at home?"

"Zhao Yun said he had to go on patrol, this one What happened to the chicken?" It's not very big, so why did it kill him?

"This rooster was pecked to death by a hen." Shao Sheng'an said, "That's the big treasure."

Dabao is the first hen to lay eggs among the chickens hatched from fertilized eggs stored in the space. Mother Shao loves her so much that she named it Dabao. The chickens hatched from the fertilized eggs before the end of the world natural disaster are called first-generation chickens by Qiao Songzhi, and the chickens hatched from the eggs laid by the first-generation chickens are divided into second-generation chickens, and so on. , is also big. Dabao is one of the few hens in the generation that has completely adapted to the new environment. He is fat and fat, and when he raises his neck and spreads his wings, he is particularly imposing and has a great temper. The chicken in the next room is very domineering. Few of the second- and third-generation chickens can compare to it.

Mother Shao felt that Dabao had a good bloodline and was worthy of continuing to breed, so she often chose good roosters for her companionship, and those roosters were often pecked and cooed by her.

Qiao Qingqing laughed when she heard it: "I guess it's the third one."

"The fifth one!" Mother Shao came out of the room and moved two stools, "Qingqing, sit on— This is the fifth one. Oh, why is Dabao so bad-tempered? I went to feed just now and found that the rooster was motionless in the corner. I knew at the time that it was broken! It was bitten to death again!"

After sitting down, Mother Shao Move the basin with chicken blood over and add salt and water to it.

"Is that enough salt?" She raised her head and asked Qiao Qingqing.

"Enough, I'll bring it in, and put it away when it solidifies." The chicken blood in the space couldn't be eaten. After the pots of chicken blood coagulated and cooked, she poured it into the bucket. Now there is a What about the processed chicken blood in the vat?

After putting away the chicken blood, Qiao Qingqing took a look inside. Shao's father and Shao Shengfei went out for a chicken walk. Her mother was sitting in the tent lighting candles and sewing clothes. Qiao Qingqing saw that it was Feifei's coat.

"Mom, why don't you turn on the light, it's so dark."

Qiao Songzhi raised his head: "No, I'll just sew a little soon, the candle light is enough. Sheng'an is killing chickens outside, you can watch and play."

"I come with you."
