Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 41 Doomsday Sun
The Qiao family, which had been missing for a few days, smiled a little because of Dahei's birth, but to Qiao Miwei's disappointment, Dahei only gave birth to two cubs, a black-backed, spotted dog, and a small , the whole body's fur is soft and sticky to the body, and it can only moan softly. Except for breastfeeding, Qiao Miwei sleeps all day long. , she also prepared rich food for Dahei to replenish his body.

Dahei likes to lick the two little guys very much, but his strength is too great, and he often licks the little guys somersaults.Qiao Miwei's favorite thing to do recently is to stare at the little guys.Imagine how they opened their eyes and ran all over the yard.

That night, Qiao Mi woke up in a daze from the cold after sleeping until midnight. Trembling, she took out her thick clothes and put them on, and then ran to her parents' room to check. Qiao's parents and Qiao's mother were not awake, but her body was already cold. She curled up, and she stepped forward to push the two of them to wake up. Maybe Father Qiao and Mother Qiao were about to wake up, but she woke up with a light touch. , "Why is it suddenly so cold today?"

Qiao Mi shook her head slightly, "I don't know, I brought you thick clothes, put them on quickly, don't get cold." She handed the clothes to the two of them, and before the two of them were dressed, a message came from outside. There was a bang, which startled the three of them. Before the three of them could react, the bangs continued, and Qiao Mi jumped up, "I'll go and see." The words ran out.

When she arrived in the front yard, she turned on the headlights and looked up. It turned out that it was hailstones. The ice cubes were as big as a child's fist.

After a while, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother also came out. When they saw such a big hailstone, they were all surprised from ear to ear. Suddenly, there was a bang in the backyard. It was broken, it was broken glass, and the three hurried to After running back, I went to the backyard to see that the glass on the roof was broken, and now the broken glass fell to the ground, and there was a bigger ice cube whirling around on the ground, Qiao Mi jumped up slightly, " My food." She was about to pick up glass fragments, but was pulled back by Qiao's mother behind her, but even so, her hands were still scratched by the rapidly falling hailstones, and the back of her hands was burning with pain. The ice cubes fell down the hole and fell to the ground and splashed. Qiao's mother took Qiao Miwei's hand to check the injury on the back of the hand.

Father Qiao stepped over quickly, entered the warehouse by mistake, and came out with a few wooden planks in his hand, calling Qiao Miwei, "Bring some bricks."

Qiao Mi understood what Father Qiao meant, and went to the side of the chicken coop to get a few bricks, put them on the ground under the broken glass, and laid wooden boards on them, so that the vegetables underneath would be protected, and Mother Qiao laid them on the wooden boards again. A torn cotton coat was spread out, and the ice cubes hit the cotton coat as a cushion, and basically stayed in place.

Only then did the three of them breathe a sigh of relief, but before they finished breathing, there was another bang in the front yard, and the three ran to the front yard. When they arrived at the front yard, they saw that there was no broken glass on the ground, but where did the noise come from? ?Dahei walked to the garage, raised his head and yelled, and Qiao Mi looked up slightly to vaguely see that a piece of glass on the garage was broken, but because the garage itself had a roof, those ice cubes fell on the roof.

Father Qiao greeted Qiao Miwei, "Wei Wei, come and help." Qiao Miwei looked back, and it turned out that Father Qiao was going to move the puppy into the house, so she stepped forward to help move the puppy's nest into the house, Dahei watched from the side and didn't make a sound.

At this time, there were two more crisp sounds outside, as if to tell them three that two more pieces of glass were broken. It seems that no matter how strong the glass is, it would be useless to encounter such a large hailstone, so Qiao Miwei simply let them go. Now, sitting on the sofa and thinking about the money spent, I still couldn’t help complaining, “It’s still bulletproof glass, it’s all a lie, and it can’t prevent hail.”

Qiao's father and mother did not answer the call. What they were thinking about was the land on the mountain. It was warm a while ago. Although the rainstorm continued, the seedlings that should have sprouted in the field still appeared. How many of those seedlings survived.

One night, seven pieces of glass were smashed by hailstones. People who got up in the morning were surprised to find that the rainstorm had stopped. Yes, the rainstorm that had ravaged the entire earth for more than a month had stopped, and people saw the long-lost blue sky again. The color of azure is like a gospel, heralding that the flood is about to pass.

But when the sun came out, the smiles on people's lips froze. No one could explain why the sun turned black and red like blood, as if thick blood was surging in the sky, surrounded by large swaths of blood mist. It is extremely terrifying, even the light it irradiates is dark red, covering the surface of the earth and dyeing everything blood red, people are scared and at a loss in the face of unknown dangers, but there are always those Those who dared to take the risk, they were the first group of people to go under the sun, they stood under the sun with both apprehension and excitement, after a long time, they found no special reaction, so they called out to their companions Relatives go out.

Qiao Miwei stood in the yard of his house and looked at the sky through the dark glass. Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were cleaning up the ice cubes that fell on the yard the night before. Yes, until the sun came out in the morning, those ice cubes were still there. It didn't melt, because the temperature had dropped to below zero at this time, and the three of Qiao's family had already put on winter clothes. At noon, Qiao Miwei heard that some people in the village were killed by hailstones, and some died of freezing due to the sudden drop in temperature. , There are few people in the village. Recently, many people have disappeared because of mosquitoes and fish carrying viruses. Now everyone is numb when they hear such things.

Although only seven pieces of glass were broken, there were quite a lot of ice cubes that fell in through the cracks. Father Qiao used a willow frame to carry them and packed them in buckets, and piled them up outside the door one after another until a small pile was formed. Small mountain bag.

There is no spare glass in their house, and the holes in the roof can only be filled with rags. Qiao Miwei doesn't expect that thin layer of fabric to play any role, as long as it can block the sunlight.

Several vegetable fields in the yard were damaged by hail. Qiao Miwei and Qiao's father could only pull out the damaged vegetables, loosen the soil and rebury the seeds. As for the smashed vegetable leaves It can only be thrown into the chicken coop to feed the chickens.

In the afternoon, the village chief came with a serious face. Qiao Miwei knew that the village chief must have something to do when he came. After entering the house, Qiao Miwei poured tea for the village chief. The village chief waved his hand and said no, and then told the matter.

It turned out that an old lady was frozen to death in the village. Her wife had been gone for many years. She was old and in poor health. Mie, she is getting older, her physical strength is getting weaker, and Shen Ke is getting heavier. Recently, she often falls asleep. Who would have thought that she would freeze to death when she encountered such extreme weather this time. Now the old man Without her children around, she couldn't watch her body rot and maggots at home, so the village head called all the young people in the village to come and send the old man away.

Knowing that this is the case, Qiao Miwei has no objection whether it is money or effort. He went back to the house and dug out the equipment that he hadn't used for a long time and covered himself up. He told Qiao's father and mother not to go under the sun before following the village chief go out.

The village head is also wearing thick clothes today, not only because of the cold weather, but also because he thought of Qiao Miwei's outfit when he first came to the village and the unusual sun now, so he intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the sun, besides Today's sun really looks creepy, so not only did he equip himself like this, but he also notified the whole village with a loudspeaker, telling everyone to be careful about the sun, and prevent it if possible .

Qiao Miwei's home is the farthest from the village, so the village head was the last to notify her. When they arrived at the old lady's house, the village had basically all they could get to, because the village was plagued by various viruses and mosquitoes recently. It was very uneven, so the number of people present was limited.

The village chief didn't care, he called two strong young men in and moved the old lady into the living room, and asked two bold women to help tidy up the remains, changed into clean clothes, got them to the ancestral hall, and read a simple condolence Wen was cremated, and Qiao Miwei followed the crowd all the time, doing what he was asked to do. Their village is small, and there was a funeral parlor in the village, but because the custom in the village has always been preserved, when someone dies, he goes to the village head. The old way of cremation gradually turned the funeral home into a decoration. This was the first time Qiao Miwei attended a funeral, and it was such a traditional and special funeral.

Put a handful of ashes into a small bottle, put a label on it, and put it into the room next to the ancestral hall. The door of that room is very old. It is two wooden doors with two large copper rings on them, which are locked together. They were all old-fashioned locks. Once the door was opened, it was dark inside, and goose bumps appeared on the body for no reason. The village chief went in alone to put the ashes, and when he came out, he locked the door again.

After busying with the old lady’s funeral, it was almost dusk, and the blood-red sun dyed the whole sky a thick, dark color like rust. Qiao Miwei observed silently. Among these people, except for the village chief and a few The old man and those young people were all dressed very simply, with their heads and faces exposed, and it seemed that they didn't take the village chief's words to heart.

The ancestral hall is on the mountain outside the village, facing Qiao Miwei's house in the direction. When everyone returned to the village, they suddenly found that there were a lot of people in the village. Those people looked quite embarrassed. Although Qiao Miwei couldn't recognize everyone in the village, But she could tell at a glance that these people were not from their village, but judging from the expressions of the people in their village, they should all know each other, and many people greeted each other when they met.
