Chapter 72
"It doesn't matter how old I am, I still want to follow along to join in the fun."

Yun Qi walked over and touched his cuff: "Is there anything wet? Do you want to change clothes before going out?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I didn't exert any strength, and I didn't sweat. But those people were too excited, and they all went back to change their clothes."

"Those fish, wait until I come back to deal with them. I have to go and have a look first. If someone falls into the water, it will be very troublesome."

"Okay, then hurry over there, we'll have a whole fish feast later." At this moment, Yun Qi had a lot of ways to grow fish in his head.

On this day, Pinghe Village is filled with all kinds of fish fragrances, adding a little warmth to this cold winter.

People in other places were not so lucky. In some villages, no one had time to build houses. The arrival of this freezing directly took the lives of many people.

Some clever ones found a cave in the mountain to gather everyone together, relying on the firewood stored before, barely suffering.

Although there are in-laws in every village, there are too many grain stores in the countryside.At this time, I dare not go to relatives with confidence. First, the food cannot be transported, and second, everyone has similar conditions. If you change to another village, it is better to hold a group in the village. In this way, the whole clan will be more close together. reliable.

But people in the city are not so lucky. The heating has been stopped, and now they can’t work, and they can’t subsidize their households. Many people are huddled under the covers and dare not move. People go to get relief food.The current relief food is received on a per-person basis, and can only be received once a day. It is impossible to eat enough.

Even so, there are still many people who can't make it through every day, and for a while, the whole city is shrouded in despair and grief.

The Lian family was not so lucky. When they were able to do part-time jobs before, they could barely make a living.Now the whole family is crowded together, and there is no fire to keep warm in the small house, so they can only squeeze into the quilt.They complained to each other all day long, and if they weren't afraid that fighting would consume their own energy or die from the cold, they might have fought a few times.

And Yun Zhixin in the barracks was chatting with his younger brother Yun Zhizhong about family affairs.

"I don't know what's going on in my hometown now? It's been so long since the earthquake happened, and I haven't been in touch with them."

Hearing his brother's worried words, Yun Zhizhong was also very worried about his family: "There were people who ran over from the county before, and I also asked them about me, but because the bridges in the county were completely broken at that time, the situation in the surrounding countryside I don’t know. But because we have made preparations before, there shouldn’t be any major problems in dealing with the earthquake. But the main thing is, I don’t know if everyone has prepared for the cold. The house in my hometown is not earthquake-resistant, and it may not be able to support it. You don’t know How do they get through this cold weather." They didn't know that the folks in their hometown were sitting on the warm kang at the moment, drinking hot fish soup, and they were living a beautiful life.

"Who says it's not? If it weren't for the damn cold, maybe our troops would have detected it there. What do those people who came from the county say? Is there any danger along the way?"

"I've done all the research. I heard that the county is in chaos. These people also found a way out and spent a lot of money to get out of the county. The road is okay, except for a few deep pits, which can't be opened to traffic. , nothing else. It’s just that if we want to go back in the future, we may have to walk.”

Yun Zhixin sighed: "The fuel in the city is also running out now. We have to deal with so many people's food in a unified way. The gas stored before is almost enough. We just took on the next task, and we may have to go out to collect it in the next two days Dead branches come to look for coal, if we don’t prepare, if there is another cold wave, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.”

Yun Zhizhong looked at his brother worriedly: "Then you must pay attention to safety when you go out, and try to bring as many sets of clothes with you as possible. If the clothes get wet, you must change them as soon as possible. There were a few soldiers in the group before , because I was sweating and didn't change my clothes in time, so I got frostbite and couldn't be rescued."

"Don't worry, these things have been specifically emphasized now. And the roads around the city have been explored, and some roads can still be opened to traffic. This way, it will be more secure for everyone to go on missions. As for the family, there are a few elderly people. Can’t go wrong in general.”

"Sometimes I really want to take off my clothes and go home to be with the elderly and children."

Yun Zhixin patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "If you are willing, you have already gone home directly last time, and those who are still here are full of love for the army, and those who have returned home, there are also many Helpless."

Before, the army also asked everyone to make a choice. If there are only elderly people and children in the family who want to retire and go home, they can also submit their own application for retirement.But there are still very few people who have actually retired. Many of them were forced to retire because there were no young adults in their families.

"I really hope to recover as soon as possible. It will be too difficult to return to the days before liberation."

The two brothers chatted for a while before going back to their respective camps.

And the gangs in the county town have formed a certain scale. Because of the cold, they can only rectify in the county town to avoid the cold, while the other common people, after their robbing and the cold wave, are already running out. Dong also saved the lives of the remaining people. These people saw the frozen river and went directly from the river to the surrounding villages to seek refuge with their relatives and friends.At this time, in order to survive, there is no way to take into account whether running to another house will cause trouble to others.

In this way, the surrounding villages more or less took in the refugees who ran out of the county.

Except for the Sun family's in-laws and Yun Qifang's mother and daughter, no one came to Pinghe Village.Although everyone hides in the house to avoid the cold, the village still arranges people to patrol the entrance of the village every day, and a big gong is placed outside the wall. If someone comes and rings the gong, the village will know immediately.

As for Sicheng's uncle's family, because of the method taught by Sicheng, He Yunqi provided some supplies for the family to keep warm, and there was no problem. Others in the village, according to their thinking, hurriedly got a shelter from the cold before the cold wave came. place.

Because there are too many fish caught this time, the whole family hangs the unfinished fish on the stove and smokes them into cured fish. It is hoped that when the time comes to visit relatives or exchange favors, it will be considered a handy gift.

Many young people also want to experience the grand occasion of people standing on the shore and fish jumping on them, but they organized a group to knock on the ice layer, and after a lot of effort, they couldn't open a small hole. He didn't dare to take the initiative to ask Si Cheng for help because of the old man's warning, and the matter was over.
