Joy and peace in the last days

Chapter 7

On the New Year’s Eve of the Year of the Dragon, Su Ping’an and Song Xile’s father and daughter had a New Year’s Eve dinner early and cleaned up the battlefield. They sat on the sofa in the living room head to head to welcome the arrival of this Spring Festival Gala (Song Xile: I must declare , I was forced... Otherwise, Su Pingan would not give me food, and I would not be allowed to set off fireworks at night!).

Accompanied by the cheerful opening music, the hosts on TV started their annual performance:
"Dear friends, Happy New Year everyone!
This is the live broadcast of the 20xx Spring Festival Gala of C Country xx TV Station.

Thanks to the people of all nationalities...

On this festive night of welcoming the Spring Festival, we would like to thank the Chinese nation for its great civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years. Let us celebrate the Year of Reunion, bless all generations, and bless the East! ([-] words are omitted here again)……. "

Song and dance, cross talk, and skits were going on as in previous years, and Song Xile dozed off staring at the TV, all supported by snacks such as drinks, dried fruits, and melon seeds on the table.

Seeing that it was almost 11:30, Song Xile finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell on Su Ping'an's lap: "Ping'an, I want to go to the square to set off fireworks, I want to set off fireworks! Now I have to go to set off fireworks, fireworks..."

When it came to the end, Song Xile looked like he was going to die, and his whole body was swaying to torture Su Pingan. It was obvious that if he refused to go down to set off the fireworks immediately, Song Xile would never let him go easily.

Su Ping'an obviously knew this very well, but Song Xile's sudden dangling on his lap made him feel a little weird, but their father and daughter were always used to joking around, so Su Ping'an immediately pretended not to care and cleared it up. Throat, holding Song Xile's head and pushing her away: "Pick up your things, we'll go there now, remember to wear down jackets, it's cold outside!"

As soon as he got his approval, Song Xile jumped up like a carp: "Understood, Su Ping'an, Dad—"

The burning of fireworks and firecrackers has long been banned in City G, but out of yearning for the traditional customs of the people of country C, each region has specially designated special fireworks display spots to meet the needs of some people. Obviously, Song Dynasty Joy is one of them.

But to be honest, Song Xile's various hobbies really don't look like a person of spiritual cultivation, spiritual cultivation pays attention to self-cultivation, keeping one's heart clean and ascetic as possible, and forgetting about things and oneself.

As for Song Xile, it can be said that he has nothing to do with these things, but there is no way, there are not one or two freaks in any industry, this point, the ethereal master has long seen through, and one of the most common words he said is: personality is not good. It's important, as long as her cultivation base is high!
Of course, Song Xile never felt that there was anything wrong with her, so now she was happily holding a bunch of fireworks while a group of children followed her and looked at her eagerly.

A sense of pride welled up in someone's heart, and someone who looked like a big sister ordered a group of little ghosts to set up fireworks, while another person looked at her daughter who was changing more and more, and couldn't help but reflect on herself:
"Is there something wrong with my education method? Why do you always feel that your daughter is getting more and more out of tune?"

Before Su Pingan had time to think about it, his attention was attracted by the sudden shrill cry from afar. When he looked up, he saw the security personnel in charge of the order of the square rushing over quickly, as if they were going to make trouble soon. people took control.

Then the crowd also gathered in the past. At first everyone thought it was a fire accident. Many people came up to ask about it. After asking, they found out that it turned out that a few young guys came out to play together. One of them was too high for some reason. Bitten another person who was playing with.

The security personnel took the troublemakers away, and the police assistant reminded everyone to pay attention to safety. While continuing to set off fireworks, everyone would occasionally discuss the unharmonious episode just now. Although the incident itself did not have much impact, it was a big New Year's Eve It's still quite uncomfortable to encounter such an appearance.

But the New Year's Eve episode was just the beginning.

Since Song Xile was seven years old, she has been with Su Ping'an through the years. Over the past seven or eight years, this has almost become a tacit ritual between the two, and this year is no exception.

When the two came back after setting off the fireworks, Su Pingan cooked some fruit glutinous rice balls. After eating, the two continued to watch TV and stayed up all night. But it was for this reason that the two saw the emergency news on Hong Kong Island TV station at the first time.

At this time, apart from a few channels on Hong Kong Island, other TV stations in country C were broadcasting various types of evening parties or New Year's dramas. The two originally wanted to find a movie to watch, but they saw the emergency news that was broadcast temporarily.

The Hong Kong Island News announced that an acute infectious disease was found on Hong Kong Island. In just a few hours, at least [-] patients were sent to the hospital for treatment.Patients infected with this new type of infectious disease are manic and irritable, and will actively attack people around them. The main manifestation is biting, and the bitten person will show symptoms of infection within a few minutes to several hours.

The news also stated that Hong Kong Island is not the only outbreak site. On New Year's Eve alone, more than 60 countries have issued similar information to remind the public to pay attention.

Hong Kong Island TV later broadcast the initial views of the epidemic in countries such as M. Experts from all sides said that this virus had never appeared before, and the cause of this large-scale outbreak is still unknown, reminding the general public to pay attention to the recent decrease in If you go out, if you have any wounds on your body, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination immediately.

At the same time, he also said that although the epidemic is fierce, it is still within the controllable range, and the public does not need to panic.

Su Pingan has always attached great importance to life (in fact, he is a little afraid of death...), after seeing this news, he searched all the mainstream channels, but there was no relevant report, just when he was a little puzzled——

"Ping An, today is a great day for the whole world to celebrate. According to the consistent practice of our government, even if there is a problem, it will definitely not be broadcast right now...Praises will not hesitate at all, but they will still consider carefully when releasing these news All of a sudden, after all, this may be related to their money!"

Su Ping'an thought it made sense, but it's not important anymore. The most urgent thing now is to confirm whether there is such a case in G city, and he must inquire about it tomorrow.

or?Do you want to buy more commonly used disinfection products such as Banlangen, high-concentration vinegar, and alcohol and store them at home?What about masks?Su Ping'an's thoughts diverged, and all kinds of thoughts popped up in an instant, and Tianguang came to mind as soon as he thought about it.

But he forgot that it was the Spring Festival holiday, and most shops were closed on the first day of the new year.He searched everywhere for the things he thought he needed to buy, only to find that he was not the only one who had such thoughts, there were only a few shops that were still open, and many things were out of stock.

Su Pingan returned home in vain, lost even the interest in New Year's greetings, returned home angrily, and stayed in front of the TV with Song Xile to watch the progress of the situation.Things really didn't develop as well as people hoped, but worsened at an uncontrollable speed.

When the government of Country C in the third year of junior high school found out that something was wrong, it dispatched unprecedentedly. Although it was called the people's soldiers, they were actually serving the government, the army with the largest number of people in the world.

The hospital, as a collaborator of the army, strictly controls people with suspected diseases. Even so, the speed of this sudden plague spread beyond everyone's imagination.

Major cities in the world have become the hardest hit areas one after another. Some countries have called on the public to leave the densely populated big cities and go to remote urban areas to avoid the disaster.

The official channel of country C continuously broadcasts experts' views on this matter, calling on citizens to stay at home and reduce going out, and has repeatedly ensured that the current development of the epidemic is completely under the control of the government.

Unexpectedly, once such news was broadcast, many people hurriedly packed their bags and fled to the countryside.Why do you ask? MD!The experts have come out to refute the rumors, so don't hurry up, the experts are here to buy time for the grandchildren in the system!If we don't want to run away, I'm afraid they'll all run away by now!

After all, experts' refutation of rumors indirectly means that the incident of being dispelled is true and credible, which has almost long been the consensus of most people in country C.

City G, the third largest city in country C, has a rapidly decreasing resident population, but Su Ping'an was born and raised here, and has nowhere to go back, and he can't leave now, because Song Xile is sick at this time.
