Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 25 Wild Dogs
After listening to Qiao Miwei, she thought in her heart that the heavy rain was too heavy, and the house must not be tidied up now, so she had to find a way to move the people, otherwise not only the furniture would suffer, but people would also get sick.

After a while, the village head led two people out, nodded when he saw Qiao Miwei, and said to everyone, "The houses of Dahua's family and Lao Qi's family were both damaged. We have discussed it just now. Before we stop, we will live in the village, and everyone will go back and talk to each family, and each family has someone, and the big guy will help them carry their things first, don’t waste things, and we will help repair the house when the rain stops.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this, "It should." "Let's talk about it."

Qiao Miwei also nodded, and when everyone finished speaking, she said to the village chief, "I'm going to the supermarket, and I'll be right back after shopping."

The village head nodded: "If you have something to do at home, just tell me, ten or eight of us are enough."

Everyone in the village is sincere, no one likes to be lazy and slippery, they all waved their hands and said it was okay, the village chief didn't talk too much, the first one put on his poncho and went out first, and everyone followed.

Qiao Miwei quickened his pace and rushed to the supermarket. Unexpectedly, there were coriander in the supermarket, a plastic bag full, but because it was early spring, the price was very expensive, one yuan and one tael, Qiao Miwei had already spent a lot of money It was almost there, and there was still some money, so she simply wrapped a plastic bag of coriander, and rushed home with it.

By the time they got home, the eggplants steamed in the pot had already been out of the pot. Qiao’s father was peeling the garlic hard, and Qiao’s mother was pounding the garlic. Qiao Miwei put the coriander on the ground and said to the two, “There is a house in the village that has been destroyed. It’s a disaster, I met the village head just now, he is leading people to help move, I will also go to help.”

"Oh, that's fine, be careful yourself." Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were more worried about her safety.

Qiao Miwei hurried back to the village with a promise, just in time for a few people to go to the disaster-stricken family, saw her coming, and took her with her.

Dahua's real name is Wu Fenghua. He is a man in his 40s. His family is relatively poor. The house is still an old-fashioned mud-walled house. .

After entering the house, everyone was there. At this time, the floor of the room was full of water, which had covered her ankles. With the muddy water on everyone's feet, the whole room could no longer be seen. Qiao Miwei walked a few The pile of women started to help pack clothes, shoes and socks, because it was raining too much outside, and these things had to be covered with plastic sheets. Qiao Miwei folded a big quilt and put it in a big plastic bag, and tied it tightly At the mouth of the bag, he held the big bag in his hands and followed the footsteps of the crowd, and went back and forth several times, finally moved all the things of the two families to the village.

The men went back after moving their things, leaving the women to help the two families put things away, and it was almost noon when they went back.

Qiao Miwei clutched the poncho around the collar with one hand to prevent the rainwater from getting into her clothes, and hurried on with her head buried. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw a black thing in the yellow-green grass that caught her attention. She stopped He stopped and wiped the rainwater off his face with his hands, and squinted his eyes to look carefully. It seemed to be the fur of some animal. Because of the heavy rain, the animal seemed to be trembling non-stop.

Qiao Miwei tentatively took two steps forward when she heard the animal whining threateningly. She stopped and saw that it was a big dog with black fur on its back. The relationship was wet and stuck to the body, revealing the bony body under the fur. It lay on its side in the grass, bared its teeth slightly at Qiao Mi, and looked extremely fierce, as if it would rush up at any time.

Qiao Miwei has been afraid of such a large dog since she was a child. This time she ran away without turning around because the dog looked wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. The dog refused to leave when she stood there. It struggled to stand up, but it couldn't support its body after several times of support on its hind legs. It pretended to be bluff and called out to Qiao Mi a few times.

Qiao Miwei took a step back, looked down at the sausage in her hand, it was given to her by Wu Fenghua, because the house just moved today, everything is still in a mess, the two families couldn't treat guests, so they put the sausage in the house. Some of the sausages he made were given to everyone. Qiao Miwei broke two pieces with his hands and threw them over. The dog turned his head away without looking at them.

Qiao Miwei waited for a while but didn't see the big dog paying attention to the sausage. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and took a bite, chewed a few times and swallowed it, "Eat it, it's a good thing, go home quickly after eating, Don't wander around outside in such a heavy rain." After speaking, he turned and left.

When she got home, Qiao's mother had already prepared two small pickles. At this time, she was cutting the dried radishes. Qiao Miwei took off her poncho and was still on the wall of the garden. "Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Chen Xuehua looked up, "Aren't you wearing a poncho, why are you all wet?"

Qiao Mi took off his shoes and walked in barefoot, "It's raining too much, and it will get wet after staying outside for a while. I almost can't get those shoes anymore. I'm going to take a shower first."

Chen Xuehua said, "Put on mine for you, so you don't catch cold." He took off the slippers on his feet and kicked them over, then put his legs on the small stool again.

Qiao Miwei put on her slippers and continued walking in, "Mom, where is my dad?"

"I'm tidying up the pigsty and sheepsty, I plan to get some farmyard manure." Chen Xuehua lowered his head and started chopping radishes again.

Qiao Mi stooped slightly and picked up a radish and chewed it in his mouth, "Then I'll help him later." Then he entered the house.

The hot water in the thermos was readily available, and it was very convenient to take a shower. She came out in about 10 minutes, brought a pair of slippers for Qiao's mother, and went to the backyard to help with the pigsty.

The little piglets are very used to staying here these days. They eat and sleep every day. Father Qiao also found two iron chains and threw them in to grind their teeth. It is said that this can also give them iron supplements. Qiao Miwei also I don't know if it's true or not, but at this time these little guys are a little restless, because Father Qiao is running the water pump to wash the corner of the pigsty.

The piggies moaned and yelled around Father Joe, and they were washed by the water jet from time to time, so they were drenched, and they threw all their strength into their bodies, throwing water drops everywhere.

Qiao Bin first took out the excrement and piled it under the jujube tree on the other side. Although the piggies are still young, they can't hold back their appetite. If you eat more, you will excrete more. It is already a big pile under the jujube tree. He built a small ditch between the pigsty and the sheep pen, and the other end was connected to the water outlet in the backyard. At this time, the water for flushing the pigsty flowed out of the yard along the ditch.

The pigsty was washed clean, Qiao's father told Qiao Miwei to turn off the switch, the two of them closed the water pipe together, and asked Qiao Miwei, "How is it? It's clean this time."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "It's really clean, or the pigsty has smelled a bit these days, Dad, can the manure be used directly?"

Father Qiao shook his head, "No, it has to be fermented. Generally, fire is used in rural areas, but I can't do it well. Let's use soil to retting." After Qiao Miwei explained why he needed to retting manure, the two picked up the shovel to go Filling the dung heap with soil, mixing while filling, until finally a big pile was piled up before stopping. Qiao Mi pinched his nose slightly, both nostrils had been filled with the stench, and now he was not very bright.

"Let's go out and get some dead branches and leaves on the back mountain later." Father Qiao panted while leaning on the handle of the shovel.

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, looked at the time, "Let's go after lunch."

The three of them had work on hand that day, so they simply stuffed rice for lunch and ate vegetables after arguing. In the afternoon, Qiao Miwei and Father Qiao put on their rain ponchos with their tools and went up the mountain against the heavy rain.

The dead leaves, rotten branches and weeds were dragging back with the wet soil. Later, Father Qiao found a place with relatively dense forests. Even the heavy rain could not completely penetrate the tangled branches and fall into this area On the land, the soil in the woodland is very soft black soil, covered with a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves, some of which have rotted and are almost the same as the soil, and some still maintain the original characteristics of this part. It should be the new fallen leaves from last year, and it is half rotten now. Father Qiao went up and poked it with a shovel, nodded in satisfaction, and quickly asked Qiao Miwei to push the small cart over and push back several carts of soil. It was filled in the garden field, and part of it was added to the manure pile.

They had been busy until it was dark, and then they went back exhausted. When they reached the gate, Father Qiao went in first. Qiao Mi turned over and closed the door. From a distance, she found a dark shadow, which seemed to be the big dog she had met at noon.

Thinking of the guarded look of the big dog, Qiao Miwei was a little annoyed. This was the first time she was so active with cats and dogs. After closing the door, she stepped on each other and took off her shoes. Taking off on the clothesline, she looked down and saw that she was drenched again. Father Qiao had already gone to take a shower. She put the boots of the two of them under the faucet in the yard, washed them clean, put them under the window, and ran to the door Leaning on the crack of the door and looking out, it seems that the big dog is no longer there.

Chen Xuehua was still drying radishes, seeing Qiao Miwei lying at the door sneakily, not knowing what to do, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I ran into a big dog when I came back at noon today, and I seemed to see it again just now, but it's gone now." Qiao Mi muttered slightly.

"If it's gone, I'll go back. Even a dog can't stand the heavy rain." Qiao's mother said indifferently.

"Oh." Qiao Mi didn't know why he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He straightened his back and answered blankly. Seeing that Qiao's father had come out, he walked into the house, "I'm going to take a bath."

After dinner in the evening, the whole family sat around the living room and watched the news broadcast as usual. Recently, not only the disaster situation and disaster relief situation in various places were broadcast on TV, but also many reporters who rushed to the scene to report were killed. I don’t know what the purpose of the above is, it keeps broadcasting The deeds of those journalists who died, but there are not many people in the whole country who can watch TV safely. Only God knows how many people are still paying attention to those deeds.
