The community cooling point on their side was opened relatively early. Although the community is old, the location is good, and there are many large shopping malls around. Now, they are working overti every night to rush to install solar energy, and mobilize large-scale high-temperature computer rooms. The air-conditioning and cooling machine, after a shopping mall is installed, will be opened to the residents of the surrounding communities for use.
There are quite a few people going to their community, and so of them didn’t plan to go. Although they dare not turn on the air conditioner during the day, the high temperature inside the house is unbearable, but there is no one at ho during the day, so they don’t know if the empty door is broken into, and the heat is still there. It is within the limit of endurance, but if there is no food, it will really starve to death.
But after the last doomsday mob attack, many people have lingering fears. It is not safe to stay at ho during the day. Although the group of doomsday mobs have been caught and are about to be shot, what if soone follows suit? After much deliberation, let’s go to the cooling place during the day and try to hide the food at ho, although their residential buildings really have no place to hide, unlike rural villages, there is no cellar, just dig a hole in the backyard and bury it. Burying is fine, but compared with food, life is more important.
The corresponding cooling point on their side is in the shopping mall not far behind the community. The shopping mall was just established before the smog, because it is a high-end shopping mall and it is newly built. Very well, it saves a lot of work to be reford by the governnt at the mont, so the opening is also fast.
Most people in their community choose to go to the cooling point during the day. They go there before dawn, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there on the road. catch my breath. As for the situation inside the cold supply point, the first group of people who went in posted photos on WeChat. So store counters in the shopping mall were basically emptied, and a small space was separated with special partitions. The small space can be big or small, the small one can accommodate three or four people lying down, and the larger one can accommodate five or six people. There is no ceiling on each partition, but there is a door lock, which is similar to a small single room model. Naturally, there is an additional charge. Others are on the top floor or higher floors, so you can sit casually, bring your own cushions, chairs or folding beds, and the ground is full of people at a glance, without any privacy.
Although it is now day or night, because there is no industrial noise, there are basically no cars on the road, and it is quiet everywhere, but it is probably a psychological effect. When most of the people in the community go to the cooling point during the day, Mu Nan felt that the neighborhood was quieter, and it was still empty and quiet.
Stretched on the bed, Mu Nan looked at the thick and thick window, and didn't want to move lazily. When he was busy with manga drafts and couldn't think of a new plot, he dread that one day he could Lie down like this every day, don't worry about eating or drinking, and sleep like a drunk. But when such a life really ca, he realized how tortured it was.
Seeing that Qin Huai moved a small stool and sat in the living room, with clean water and flour on the side ready to make stead bun rolls, Mu Nan turned over on the bed, arched twice like a caterpillar, and moved to a nearby Qin Huai's side beside the bed: "Brother, if you can go out now and everything returns to normal, what are you doing at this ti?"
Qin Huai glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he said, "It's ti to prepare to work overti in the office. The operation and maintenance of a software, the developnt, promotion and publicity of new markets, these things will never be done. After finishing, I may order a takeaway casually, stay busy until ninety o'clock, and then invite a few colleagues who also work overti together to have a snack and drink so wine, and then go ho to wash and sleep."
Mu Nan: "Then if there is no smog, no doomsday, and everything goes according to your expectations, when you co back to after I graduate and take to City B, then what are we doing right now?"
Qin Huai smiled: "Then you should be drawing at ho right now, and then I'll ask you what you want for dinner. After you order, I'm looking forward to getting off work. I'll buy so food on the way back. After we finish eating , I will take you out for a walk, you will be too hot and don’t want to go out, so I will lure you to go out with by going to the supermarket to buy snacks, we went to the supermarket, took a walk, bought your favorite snacks and went ho, you Continue painting, I will work overti at ho, you will be hungry at 11 or 12 o’clock, I will let you eat a little supper, then take a shower and sleep, make breakfast the next day, and drag you out of bed, Watching you finish eating, I go to work, you continue to sleep back to sleep, find a clean restaurant to deliver lunch to you at noon, and then it’s afternoon, and so on.”
Listening to Qin Huai's description, Mu Nan smiled: "Thinking about it this way, even though I repeat it every day, it's still pretty good."
Seeing that Qin Huai was about to make noodles, Mu Nan supported his head and asked, "Do you want to make flower rolls or stead buns?"
Qin Huai looked at him: "What do you want to eat?"
Mu Nan thought for a while, and took out a 1-liter bottle of sweet milk from the space: "Let's make milk stead buns, this milk is delicious, and there is no need to add sugar."
Qin Huai poured the flour into the basin, and then asked Mu Nan to open the milk and pour it in little by little. Mu Nan turned upside down and clicked softly: "We are so extravagant."
Qin Huai said with a smile, "It's not a luxury to make food for yourself."
Now whether it is him or Qin Huai, he is already very proficient in making stead buns with noodles, but no matter how proficient he is, I don’t know if it’s because he is not strong enough or because of psychological factors. He always feels that what he makes is not as delicious as Qin Huai’s. In Qin Huai's hands, they are extrely cute, and they can do whatever they want, Mu Nan couldn't help but said: "Look at the simplicity of your cooking, once it's in my hands, I feel that the plate is not the sa thing, will the stead buns taste good now? ?”
Qin Huai said: "It doesn't have any sll. Now the doors and windows are closed tightly, and there are thick film cloths outside to cover them. Our upstairs and downstairs are all used for cooling. As long as the one next door is not cooking so big ingredients, we can't sll it. "
Mu Nan watched him rub for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Brother, I want to drink Coke."
Qin Huai said without raising his head: "Drink, half for each person."
Although half of it was divided up, Mu Nan was satisfied with being able to drink a few sips anyway, and a sip of icy cold passed through his throat, which was one of the few comforts in this hot and long sumr.
In stark contrast to them, the neighbor next door is looking at the few packs of instant noodles left at the mont, with a faint expression of resistance on his face. Anyone who has eaten instant noodles for a month may not be able to stand it, and even just slling the sll makes him sick Tired and flustered, but they don’t eat and have nothing else to eat. Even when they were poor and didn’t even have a di in their pockets, they never lived this kind of life. I can work and earn money, but my life is not as good as the darkest period of my childhood.
Yu Zibai sighed, put away the few packets of noodles, Jian Chu looked up at him: "Don't you want to eat?"
Yu Zibai shook his head: "Don't eat, let's cook. There are still so dumplings left. Fry the dumplings and eat them with rice. I always eat noodles, and I'm really tired of it."
Looking at Yu Zibai, Jian Chu suddenly asked, "Will you go back?"
Yu Zibai subconsciously asked: "Where are you going back?"
Jian Chu pursed his lips and said nothing, and Yu Zibai finally realized what he was asking, and smiled as if comforting and self-deprecating: "Do you think there is still a place for to go back?"
His mother left early, his father remarried, and later gave birth to another one. His younger brother is ten years younger than him. Others are a family. He is redundant, even because his mother arranged for him before his death. He bought a house and saved a sum of money, so that after his father remarried, not to ntion tuition fees, he didn't even pay living expenses, and even wanted to transfer the house left to him by his mother several tis. For his younger brother, how could he go back to such a ho? In the current situation, he may not be able to have a bite of food when he goes back.
Jian Chu seed to be joking, and also like a test: "If life really can't go on, how about I break open the door of the shop? I'm also an expert at unlocking."
Yu Zibai replied sowhat unexpectedly: "Okay, you go to pry the store door, and I will watch the wind and move things."
He knew what Jian Chu was upset about. When he and Jian Chu t for the first ti, Jian Chu was fighting with a group of gangsters. He saw Jian Chu alone, thin and cleanly dressed. He thought Jian Chu was the one who was being bullied, and just as he was about to help, he saw that Jian Chu snatched the wooden stick from one of the gangsters and fought back on the spot. The money was looted.
However, because he had no orthodox learning, the unstructured style of play was probably developed from pure experience after fighting too much, so he was also injured. When he saw him standing at the intersection, he gave him a supercilious look, turned his head and walked away.
Goodbye for the second ti, Jian Chu was a freshman and beca his junior. After getting to know him a lot, he learned about Jian Chu's family situation, so he helped him find a part-ti job so that he could earn money to support himself, and he was restrained. Whenever Jian Chu tried to use violence to solve so things, he would always give him ideological education classes. Probably because of this, Jian Chu was always close and afraid of him , because he was afraid that he would be displeased by doing sothing on the edge of the law. His own image in Jian Chu's eyes might be that of an old cadre who didn't know how to adapt.
But abiding by laws and regulations is only suitable for peaceful tis. If life can only be like this, for him and Jian Chu to live well, what principles cannot be broken? So principles can still be adhered to, but they have not been forced by life. For that sake.
When the chubby white stead bun ca out of the cage, Mu Nan poked one with chopsticks and ate it while puffing, and comnted while eating: "I think we can add a little more sugar next ti, the milk taste is enough, but it's a bit sweet It’s not obvious, you have to chew it twice to get the sweetness.”
Qin Huai: "If you want sothing sweet, I'll make you sweet buns."
Mu Nan shook her head: "That's too sweet."
Qin Huai was amused by his picky mouth: "You are the one who talks about extravagance, and you are the one who picks and chooses."
Just as Mu Nan was about to retort, he was startled by a sudden cry from outside the house. The stead buns that were not stabbed on the chopsticks fell off. Mu Nan quickly picked up the stead buns and picked them up, but food should not be wasted. Fortunately, it fell on the bed, but it was not dirty. After inserting the stead bun back into the chopsticks, he said, "What's the matter?"
Hearing the crying, it was very close to them, as if it was outside their house.
Qin Huai said: "I'll go and have a look, you stay inside."
Mu Nan couldn't stay still, just as he was about to follow up to have a look, he saw the stead buns in his hand, so he quickly retracted the space, not revealing anything, not even a single stead bun.
However, the crying did not co from outside their house, but because they were on the sa floor, separated from them by only a patio, and the distance was very close, they could hear it clearly when they were in the house.
The source of the cry was the neighbor who was separated from them by a courtyard. Standing at the door of the house, you could see the situation of the residents on the other side of the courtyard when you turned your head. The middle-aged man who was kneeling and begging had a look of embarrassnt, and wanted to push the woman who was pulling him away, but it seed that the other party was a woman, and he was not easy to use heavy hands, so his expression beca more and more embarrassed.
As soon as Qin Huai turned around, he pushed Mu Nan, who just showed his head and hadn't seen the situation clearly, back into the room: "Go eat your stead buns."
Mu Nan asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Qin Huai said: "It's probably a relationship dispute."
What ti is this, I can't get enough to eat, and there are emotional disputes, it's too free.
In general, there are so well-inford people in the group. Although many people from their side went to the cold supply point, there are still many who stayed behind. The commotion is so big, it must not only be heard by their family. So Mu Nan turned on the phone, wanting to see if anyone knew what was going on.
As a result, looking at it, I really saw the cause and effect of the whole thing.
This woman is a resident on the twentieth floor, but they are upstairs. At about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, she asked for help in the group, saying that her husband suddenly had a stomachache, and the pain was severe. Face to face with soone for so painkillers. But that ti was when everyone was sleeping, and even if there were a few who woke up to see the ssage, there were no painkillers at ho.
But even if there is, I’m afraid it’s not very good at changing with others at this ti. After all, you can get a big pack of instant noodles every three days. To buy dicine, you have to go through the community, and then go to the hospital to register. After seeing the doctor, you will be prescribed just the right dicine, and people are not allowed to hoard it. Nowadays, whoever has dicine in their hands is not strictly guarded, for fear that it will be used when needed. is gone.
So even though soone in the group responded to her ssages, they were all helpless to express their helplessness, so the woman from the Aite community asked for the community's phone number. At this ti, she could only ask the community for help. I don't know how the community replied to her, and she didn't speak in the group after that. But you don't need to think about it, who can go out in broad daylight, even if you can resist the heat, and hold an umbrella to block the sun, within a few minutes, the exposed skin will turn red, and the milder one is sunburn. A little sunburn dicine is enough. If it is serious, it will cause scald blisters after a while, which is hot and painful, and tortures people, but these are also damages on the surface of the skin. If you overestimate your physical strength and heat resistance, It would be a fatal thing to get sunburned outside, so the community may only reply that she has contacted the hospital and arrange a vehicle to take the person to the hospital as soon as the sun goes down.
But it was obvious that the woman's husband couldn't wait until the evening. At one o'clock at noon, the woman asked for help in the group again, saying that her husband was in severe pain and couldn't bear it anymore, and asked for help.
It is hot at this ti, and so hos are not like Mu Nan's house, which changed the air conditioner in advance. They dare not turn on the air conditioner during the day, and people feel dizzy from the heat. Who has ti to care about others, so the whole group is full of won asking for help. , but no response.
No response was received. The woman switched from the community group to the material exchange group. In this group, there are not only residents of their building, but also residents of other buildings. Help her with ideas, but what I can give is to ask her to feed her husband to drink more water, turn on the air conditioner to cool down, and so diagnostics in the air, asking where the pain is, whether it is appendicitis or sothing.
When it was almost six o'clock, the woman asked for help again in the supplies group, saying that she could not find anyone in the community, that her husband was dying, had vomited blood twice, and was about to go into shock. The woman's voice was crying Very desperate, and sent a photo of her husband vomiting blood.
Then the group leader of the material group ca out, first comforted the panicked woman, and then said in the group: "It's useless to use painkillers after vomiting blood, now I don't know if your husband is simply bleeding from the stomach or Gastrointestinal bleeding, there is no other way but to send to the hospital."
There is no need for the group leader to say this, everyone knows that he has already vomited blood, how can he survive by taking dicine at ho, he must be sent to the hospital.
Imdiately afterwards, the group leader said: "It is already past six o'clock, and the sun will go down in two or three hours. See if your husband can hold on. If not, we are very close to the hospital. Now There is no car on the road, and it only takes two or three minutes to drive there by speed. It is completely okay to fight the heat outside for two or three minutes. My family has a car, but I have no gas in it. If you can find gasoline, I can drive You go."
When the group leader said this, many people praised the group leader as a good person, and it was really not easy to stand up at this ti.
But the woman doesn't have a car at ho, so naturally she doesn't have gas. The community does have it, but the community is only five minutes' walk away from them. How could it be delivered at this ti.
So the woman cried and begged in the group: "Whoever has oil, I can buy it with money, and it doesn't matter how much it is! Please give a little oil, enough to drive to the hospital. I will go to the community to buy it and return it." You can do it too, I can double or triple the amount! Please help , I really don’t know what to do, please!”
The group owner followed up and said: "Everyone, let's be more fueled. If you help others today, maybe others will help you tomorrow. Our material group is originally for exchanging information and materials, and you keep your gasoline at ho. If you don’t drive, it’s useless, after this wife sends her husband to the hospital, go buy it from the community, and buy more and give it back to you.”
But the group owner said this, and many people said that they didn't even have a car, where did they get the oil, maybe they really didn't have it, maybe soone had it, but they didn't want to take it out, anyway, the matter fell into a stalemate again.
At this mont, soone said: "If there is no gas, anyone who has an energy vehicle will do."
This sentence made many people react, so they began to ask who has energy vehicles. At this ti, the group owner Aite called a person in the group, and said directly: "Master Fan, I rember that your car is half oil and half energy vehicles." If it’s convenient for you, please help this lady.”
The person who was attacked by the owner of the group is a Didi car driver. Since the car has gradually disappeared and the gas stations have been closed, the master Fan will drive the energy car for a run every night, and only accept a few orders a night. , the money he earns is enough for him to hoard so things. There are a few energy vehicles in their community, but the only person in their building is this master Fan, and the group owner happened to have ridden in this master's car before, so I always rember , That's why I love the other party, hoping that the other party can lend a helping hand.
That Master Fan didn't know whether he didn't see the group, or he didn't want to care about it, so he ignored it. After finally grabbing a life-saving straw, the woman of course held on to it tightly, so she asked the group leader for Master Fan's house number, and then asked for the door directly, and only then did the scene Qin Huai ca out to see.
Mu Nan listened to the movent outside, and so people in the group continued to chat and wait for the next one. So even said that it was cold-blooded to see death like this, and they were all a group of people who didn't hurt their backs while standing and talking.
Mu Nan said, "I hate this group leader."
He knew that the group leader was a man in his thirties who lived on the eighth floor of their side. He probably gave people the impression that he was able to lead and manage things before the earthquake. After the earthquake, he didn't know if there would be aftershocks for a while. , So places collapsed badly, so the governnt built resettlent tents, no matter whether the house collapsed or not, they can live in the resettlent tents and receive water and food every day. And this group leader started to be the overall leader at that ti, with people around him A dozen people slowly increased to dozens of people, and these people later ford a team under the leadership of the man to carry out material sweeps of the collapsed houses.
At that ti, he was alone, and he didn't want to join any team. Every day, he rummaged through piles of ruins with a group of scattered residents, but he acted alone, and it seed that he had no force value. A group of people took it away on the grounds that the site belonged to them.
He couldn't rob or fight, so he could only bear it silently, but it was certain that he hated the group of them. And looking at the style of this group leader, those who were offered help in despair naturally thanked him, and other people watching must also think that this person is a good person and will believe him, but the person who was asked for help was kidnapped by morality for no reason. Helping is embarrassing yourself, if you don’t help, if the other party dies because of this, maybe you will feel guilty and uneasy, and even feel that you have killed yourself, how wronged.
