NOVEL NEXT Chapter 72 Protecting Grain
Lu Yu has gossip ears, "They seem to be breaking the door, and there seem to be quite a few people."
Jiang Ning looked serious, "The temperature suddenly dropped the night before, and many people should have died. They probably broke into the victims' homes."
"This, this is too outrageous."
Jiang Ning shrugged, "There is no way, the dead will always make way for the living."
If he guessed correctly, it was He Zhian who checked the number of survivors, and then organized manpower to clean up the living supplies of the victims.
Lu Yu accepted the incompetence, "The flood lasted for several months, not to mention that every household had no food. Some people even boiled leather shoes to satisfy their hunger, and smashed all the furniture that could be burned. Even if they pry open the door, what can they find?"
"How much can still be found."
I feel uncomfortable, but everyone can't say anything to blame.
I was lucky enough to get some supplies. If the situation was the same as theirs, maybe I would also go to the house of the dead.
As Aning said, the dead always make way for the living.
Feeling depressed, after saying hello, I went home and got under the covers.
After going out for a trip, I almost froze to death, and when I returned home, I wished I could put my hand on the electric heater.
Xiao Bai was nursing the cubs, and Da Hui was out looking for something to eat, circling around Jiang Ning non-stop.
The two are in good spirits and have added some grass and fodder.
Except for daily sparring and archery, Jiang Ning was unwilling to go out. He either hid under the quilt to read a book or used his consciousness to open up wasteland.
It was pitiful, and finally turned over about 100 square meters, and then dug a small pit to put corn seeds and then filled it with soil.
The mental power was consumed rapidly, and there was a feeling that the body was being hollowed out.
Hungry, hurry up and get a Snickers bar!
1803 is very active. He goes to the roof every day to sweep the snow, and he doesn't forget to take Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen's shares.
No one said anything, but they all had accounts in their hearts. Their survivability was not as strong as the two of them, and they also contributed more to finding supplies, which took advantage of the distribution of supplies.
So, usually do what you can.
Jiang Ning said it several times, but 1803 didn't listen.
I thought about taking turns to go to the roof to collect snow, but I couldn't beat them. Every time I opened the door, the bucket full of snow was already placed at the door.
Maybe this will make 1803 feel at ease, and Jiang Ning will not stop him.
There is no shortage of water in the space, closing the door and pouring ice and snow into the black soil garden is watering.
Jiang Ning is very sorry for ruining a friend's heart, but who would leave a better one and don't use it, I'm really sorry.
The temperature drops every day, sometimes obviously, sometimes not obviously, it drops to -26 degrees without knowing it.
The downstairs was banging every day, and it lasted for several days before it quieted down.
Listening to the movement, it seems that even the 17th floor has been pried.
It is estimated that there are really many casualties.
After all, this is the south. No matter the structure of the house or the cold-resistant clothing, there is no leather that is durable in cold regions.
On this day, there was another knock on the door downstairs, and it was Grandma Zhong who came.
The weather was bad, and she obviously didn't come for acupuncture.
They are all old acquaintances, Grandma Zhong didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Little Jiang, we have something to discuss with you."
Seeing that she was not in good spirits and had a worried face, Jiang Ning frowned and said, "You tell me."
Grandma Zhong broke her defenses in an instant, choked up her hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, you are really our family's lifesaver."
If Jiang Ning hadn't said that she was sweating under the quilt after rubbing the medicinal wine, she would have froze to death that night when the temperature suddenly dropped, and there would be no chance of waking up.
Woke up from the cold under the quilt, tremblingly went to knock on the door of his son and daughter-in-law, and immediately covered his grandson with thick clothes.
Woke up in time, and escaped Lord Hades.
The Zhong family deserved to die, but the others were not so lucky. The floods and food shortages had already damaged a lot, but many died this time.
She has lived her whole life, but she never thought that the temperature in the south, which is as warm as spring in winter, will drop to -26 degrees one day.
The coast is already wet and cold, and with the floods reaching the sixth floor, the whole city is like being covered in a cold storage.
The community is relatively old, except for the students from the university town who come out to rent houses, many of the residents are elderly and children.
Compared with before the typhoon, the entire unit building is estimated to be only about 30% to 40% left.
Typhoons, floods, extreme cold, what happened to this world?
Jiang Ning doesn't take credit for it, "I'm just giving advice on the condition, it's you who follow the doctor's advice and prepare well."
Grandma Zhong didn't think so, and specially brought a can of pickled fish with fermented soybeans as a thank you gift, "My daughter-in-law made this, it's a specialty of my hometown, you all have to try it."
A can weighs about three to four catties, which is very generous.
Jiang Ning collected a lot of canned fermented fish in the space, but Grandma Zhong was so determined that she almost slapped her face in the end, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing that she accepted it, Grandma Zhong continued to chatter, "Our family is also considered lucky. Not only did we wake up without frostbite, but the people next door seemed to be frozen to death, and some of them suffered from frostbite. That little girl surnamed Su was so cheeky. Knock on the door for medicine.
Where did my family get the medicine? It seems like I didn't give it on purpose, and I have come several times.
Yesterday another one died, said to have died of frostbite and fever. "
It's poor, but what's the matter with forcing the Zhong family to take medicine?
Don't say no, if you have one, you have to keep it to save your own life.
This weather is no joke, a cold can kill a person.
Jiang Ning frowned, everyone else is dead, how can Su Mengyao not die, she is really strong enough!
Grandma Zhong won't come up without special circumstances.
She sighed deeply, and said with a worried expression: "Xiao Jiang, I don't feel right. I'm afraid something big will happen to this building."
"How to say?"
"He Zhi'an summoned the survivors to pry open the homes of the victims, and remove food, clothes, bedding, and wooden furniture. These are nothing, after all, everyone wants to survive."
But He Zhian doesn't behave like a human being, he distributes supplies and waits for others to order.
There are more males and half the females. If the Zhong family hadn't survived, they would have been bullied too.
Although the men put in a lot of effort to pry open the door, the women are good at finding things. Many supplies were hidden in unexpected places, and the women found them out.
But the women were weak and dared not resist, and He Zhian withheld the supplies that should have been divided equally, most of which fell into his hands, and the other men who took petty profits had no objection.
This is not the scariest thing, not only does he communicate frequently with the building directors of other units, but he also gets involved with the evil gangs outside.
"Yesterday he took a few young girls out, gave them a catty of food an hour, and played casually for five hours. They are really a group of inhuman beasts.
The little girl surnamed Yu next door was almost dead when she was sent back, and her pants were covered in blood.
She exchanged her body for five catties of rice, and He Zhian asked half of it to go, and several people ate the remaining two and a half catties. How many mouthfuls do you think she ate? "
Jiang Ning was not surprised. After all, Yang Weicong persuaded her to trade her body in the previous life, but she smashed her head with a rolling pin. After that, he never dared to speak again.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingqing was hopelessly stupid.
"Su Mengyao didn't go out?"
"No, but sooner or later it will be my turn."
Grandma Zhong didn't come here to gossip, but heard bad news, "People from outside the 18th and 19th buildings came in to collect protection food, and every household has to pay it. If you can't get it out, go out and look for it, otherwise... "
He Zhian has close ties with these people, so he probably didn't hold back anything.
Conservation food?
