Chapter 21 Preparations for Migration
After reading the announcement, Ning Qiyan stood up directly.
"Go, get a new certificate now!" After speaking, he grabbed the key on the table and went out.
Although the others didn't understand why he was in such a hurry, they followed him downstairs.
When I walked to the newly built certificate office at the entrance of the University City, I realized that nearly a thousand people had lined up in such a short period of time since the announcement was made in the morning. Thinking about the millions of people surviving in the city, the three immediately understood where Ning Qiyan's urgency came from.
Standing in the queue, Huzi sighed in his heart. Although Ning Qiyan was a little naive under the protection of Du Cheng, he was definitely smart enough. Whether it was the guesses drawn from the clues or the decisive decision just now, he reacted much faster than ordinary people. .
If there is no Ning Qiyan's quick response, not to mention the targeted collection of materials before, even if you apply for a new certificate now, God knows that when you figure it out, you will have to queue up until the year of the monkey.
After queuing up for a while, someone came over and handed out a form to each person.
Name, date of birth, place of origin, education, job category...
Ning Qiyan read it briefly, then took out a pen from his pocket and began to fill in.
After filling it out, hand it to Du Cheng. When the four of them finished writing, the pens they took out were also borrowed by others, and everyone wrote in succession.
The process of applying for a certificate is very fast. Take the completed form, enter the certificate office, take photos, submit the form, and sign.
Just come and pick it up tomorrow morning.
When the four of them were done and walked back, the outside of the certificate office was already overcrowded, and there were still many soldiers inside to maintain order.
"Let's pack up our things, we can avoid the big troops by going there early." After entering the door, Ning Qiyan said to Ning Xiaowen.
Ning Xiaowen nodded, "But we have a lot of things, what should we do if we can't load them all in one car?" Can't we go back and forth several times? ! This is not a short distance from the city. I heard that it is more than 100 kilometers from here to Cangyun Mountain, and there is no place to replenish the gasoline consumed back and forth.
"You don't need to take them all away, just take what you can eat and use, and leave the rest at home. I don't know what's going on in the mountains. We've brought too many things. It's not good to be watched by others. Then There is no anti-theft door on the side." Hu Zi patted Ning Xiaowen on the shoulder.
"But the government has already evacuated, what if someone breaks into our house?" Ning Xiaowen was worried.
"It's okay. There will definitely be people left behind here. Otherwise, the government won't let the circuit that has been restored after a long time be destroyed. Before we leave, we gather the things in the house together, and then use bricks to seal the door. Even It's not so easy to be stolen." Ning Qiyan comforted.
Ning Xiaowen could only nod his head.
The division of labor among the four, Du Cheng and Huzi are responsible for cutting off all the vegetables that are still growing at home, setting aside a day's worth, and pickling the rest. Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen packed up the things that had to be taken away.
Tents, uninflated air mattresses, bedding and clothes, medicines, stoves... After
a whole day, everyone didn't bother to sleep until the things to be taken away were packed, and it was almost early morning.
After eating something casually, they each climbed into bed to recharge their batteries.
Before falling asleep, Ning Xiaowen mumbled over and over what he needed to take away.
Early the next morning, before the temperature rose, the four of them went down to get their new certificates.
Huzi went downstairs to look for bricks that could be used, while Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng violently removed the back seat of the car.
They didn't bring much food, and it wasn't until the fall of the second year after the earthquake that the food crisis broke out in City D. Before that, the government had been distributing relief food. With the food they receive every day, they also bring some white flour that is not easy to store. Although it cannot be said that the food is good, at least they can eat enough. Most of them brought the vacuum-packed food such as sausages and chicken wings that they had found before, and canned pickles, which went with the rice.
The quail cage was too big, so Ning Xiaowen decided to pack it in a cardboard box first, and then make it out of branches in the mountains.
Before leaving, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen made all the eggs, quail eggs and vegetables that were hard to take away in the refrigerator. I removed my solar generator and moved it into the house, and then I started to move things to the car.
Tents, bedding, clothes and other daily necessities are all tied to the roof of the car, and the trunk is filled with grain and other scattered food. Du Cheng is driving, Hu Zi is holding a quail box and sitting in the co-pilot, and the removed seat is where the food is stored. Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen sat on the box of medicines, bowls, chopsticks, and seasonings, with chicken coops stuffed at their feet, while Du Dabao and the two kittens who were later named Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei flopped around in a limited space.
We set off at four o'clock in the afternoon. Although the weather was still hot, the air conditioner was turned on all the way, so we didn't feel uncomfortable.
When we drove to the foot of Cangyun Mountain, the checkpoint set up by the government blocked the road with roadblocks, and all four of them were allowed to pass after registering with new certificates.
After passing the checkpoint, we arrived at the foot of Cangyun Mountain. The bus station and tourist station at the foot of the mountain have been converted into parking lots. Although it was still a bit messy, it already had the embryonic form of Ning Qiyan before his rebirth.
"Hello, please show your ID."
Parked the car following the signs, the four of them got out of the car and moved their bodies, and saw a staff member walking in the sentry box.
After reading the documents, the staff returned the documents and took out a simple map from the folder.
"This is a sketch of Cangyun Mountain. Originally, the existing buildings around Laihu Lake and the nearby temporary buildings were provided for the families of people who need special care. Healthy people like you can only settle down nearby or on the mountain. After the location is determined, it needs to be reported, and there is no special reason, and the location cannot be changed at will." The staff introduced.
Ning Qiyan took the map, and after thanking them, the four of them got into the car again.
Before the sun set outside, the four of them were already sweating profusely in such a short time.
Place the map in the middle, with all four of them surrounding the sides.
The places marked on the map are all surrounded by the government. It doesn’t look big, but in reality, the entire Cangyun Mountain and another small hill connected to the back of the mountain are in it. The area is extremely wide, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate There are so many surviving populations in City D.
"We're not familiar with this place. You two grew up in City D. Have you ever been here?" Huzi asked Du Cheng after reading the map.
Du Cheng shook his head and looked at Ning Qiyan.
Ning Qiyan knew the general situation of Cangyun Mountain. He lived here for more than two years before his rebirth, and he didn't leave until the social order began to improve.
Pointing to a folded line on the map, Ning Qiyan said, "The location is very good. It's close to a small cliff with lush vegetation. If we dig a cave to live in, the slope here is also very suitable."
Hu Zi frowned.
cliff? It's not the hero who flies over the roof and walls in the legend, normal people don't want to live in this kind of place, right?
Seeing Hu Zi's hesitation, Ning Qiyan shook his head, and then explained: "The place I'm really optimistic about is actually below, this cliff is about 100 meters away from the bottom of the cliff, and the top of the cliff protrudes like a half umbrella. There is a platform less than 20 meters away. You can’t see the platform from the top of the cliff or the bottom of the cliff. If we dig a cave at the bottom of the cliff, we can directly connect to the platform at the back. The area of the platform looks bigger than a basketball court. It’s bigger. It’s blocked by the cliff above, so it doesn’t get wet from rain and snow.”
This place was once discovered by a person who lived nearby a year later. At that time, because of a heavy rain that lasted for nearly half a month, the family In order to prevent the cave from being flooded, I kept digging up the slope. I didn't expect to dig through the mountain wall and found that dry platform. Later, relatives who were close to the family moved there and let people know.
After rebirth, Ning Qiyan thought of this position, and moved here in such a hurry, because he wanted to take advantage of the time when there were few people.
Huzi and Du Cheng looked at each other, if it was really like what Ning Qiyan said, it would indeed be a good place. Not to mention other things, after digging through, their activity area has increased a lot, and in this way, the cave doesn't have to be too big.
After confirming the location, Ning Xiaowen stayed to watch the car, while Ning Qiyan took Du Cheng and Hu Zi, carrying a tent and other things, and went up the mountain. It took nearly an hour to walk from the foot of the mountain to the destination, and when he arrived, Ning Qiyan slumped on the ground.
Du Cheng took out the water he was carrying and handed it to him.
After pouring down a whole bottle of water, Ning Qiyan, who was so tired and hot that he almost collapsed, was able to recover.
"That's it?" Beard asked.
Compared to Ning Qiyan, although Huzi and Du Cheng are also hot, they are not as tired as him.
Ning Qiyan nodded, he had no strength to speak anymore.
Putting down the things he was carrying, Du Cheng saw that Ning Qiyan was not feeling well except being tired, so he and Hu Zi checked nearby.
About 50 meters further up is the cliff. Looking down from the cliff, you can only see the bottom of the cliff below, and you can't see the platform that Ning Qiyan said at all. There are iron railings on the edge of the cliff, and there is a danger warning sign next to it.
Walking back to the place where Ning Qiyan was sitting, there was only a path of stone steps from here to the top, and the other places were lush with vegetation, but there were not too many trees.
"Are you doing this by yourself?" Beard looked at Ning Qiyan who was still half-dead, and asked amusedly.
Ning Qiyan nodded, "Go down, I'll rest for a while and clean up."
Hu Zi nodded, turned and went down the mountain, Du Cheng touched Ning Qiyan's cheek before leaving.
Ning Qiyan stared wide-eyed, watching Du Cheng's back gradually go away.
Is he being taken advantage of? !
After sitting for another ten minutes, Ning Qiyan got up and began to pack the things piled aside.
First clear out a piece of grass, throw away the stones and branches, and set up the tent.
The tent that Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng had used in Kongshan Park was the one they brought here, because it was the right size, even with a beard and two people, they could still fit in it.
Set up the tent, fill up two two-meter-by-two-meter air mattresses, and spread bedding.
Before it was dark, he seized the time to stuff a pot of rice, and picked up the firewood for the fire. The fire is placed on the stone steps, so there is no need to worry about igniting the surrounding grass.
When the rice was almost cooked, Du Cheng and the others came up.
Ning Qiyan hurried down to take the quail box that Ning Xiaowen was holding, and pulled him to the edge of the tent before letting go.
As soon as Ning Qiyan let go, Ning Xiaowen collapsed. It looked worse than before Ning Qiyan.
"Put the other things in the car first, and bring them up when we go down tomorrow to confirm our living location with someone. Not many people come here now, and there are people watching in the parking lot. Don't lose things." Du Cheng Tell Ning Qiyan.
Ning Qiyan nodded, he and Ning Xiaowen were so tired after walking one trip, it is conceivable that Du Cheng and the others went up and down twice.
After the rice is cooked, open the pot and let it cool down, and just eat the opened pickles as a meal.
