Chapter 43 The country takes action and provides relief supplies
The twenty-third day of heavy snow
The temperature outside is getting lower and lower, even if Qin Xingyue’s house is equipped with a lot of constant temperature materials, Qin Xingyue Yue could still feel that the temperature in the house was getting lower and lower.
The air conditioner at home was on, Qin Xingyue was sitting in front of the electric grill table, curled up on the sofa and reading medical books.
I don’t know if it is because she often drinks space water, but she is in good health and her memory is getting better and better. Over the past few days, Qin Xingyue has read several medical books and summarized these theories. She knew the knowledge by heart, but she didn't have anything to practice it with, and she didn't know how good her medical skills were, so she could only continue to read the knowledge in medical books.
She planned to read the theoretical knowledge of Western medicine and understand it thoroughly, and then continue to read books on Chinese medicine. She said that she would learn more when she had time. Now at the beginning of the end of the world, as long as she had food and drink, she would not have to go out. , it is still very safe, but the further you go to the back, the more dangerous it becomes.
Now that I have free time to read, I will rarely have the opportunity in the future.
The days were spent roasting by the fire, eating juice and reading books. Qin Xingyue fell asleep as she watched.
At the same time, there are several families outside, and their food reserves have been completely gone in the past two days.
No matter how much they save on food and consumption, there is only so much food at home, and there will always be a day when they run out.
It has been snowing for so many days now, and the power and Internet have been out for so long. In this era when no one is in the habit of storing food, it is not easy to survive until now.
From yesterday to now, two families have not eaten a morsel of rice, and their children are so hungry that they cry loudly.
Let alone the children, even the adults looked disheveled. Seeing that the snow showed no sign of stopping, they had no choice but to go out and get some food. In desperation, they had no choice but to go to a house to ask for some. Food.
If in the past, we were neighbors, and food was not a precious thing, we would easily agree and give more.
But now, the world is different. When food cannot be bought, food is more important than anything else. To ask for food is to take someone else's life.
Therefore, not only did the two families receive nothing, but they were scolded a lot.
However, they did not give up. Instead, they knocked on the door one after another, hoping that they would always meet someone who was soft-hearted and could give them some charity.
Soon, they came to the home that took Peng Li in. The residents of this home were an elderly couple. In their early years, their only son died in a car accident, and the son did not leave any children. Only the husband and wife are left to depend on each other.
The couple have a good reputation in the community and are very soft-hearted. It is precisely because of this that Peng Li persuaded them to take in their family last time.
At this moment, hearing the miserable pleading outside, the couple couldn't bear it. The grandma said to the grandpa: "Old man, our family had some instant noodles before. We don't eat this either. Go get it." They, and there are children, look so pitiful!”
"Okay, I'll get it right now!"
"No." At this time, Peng Li suddenly shouted and stopped them: "Grandma Li, we don't have much to eat now. If we come You give me what I want to eat, and I give it to anyone who wants to eat. Then we don’t even have enough to eat!”
After coming here for a few days, she has figured out the situation at home. My health is not very good, so I like to buy a lot of things when I go out and save them, such as potatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes, etc. that can be stored for a long time. The old couple saved a lot.
There were also a few bags of rice, as well as some dry food and flour. She did not expect that the family that took her in would have such good things at home, which made her happy for a long time. If they save a little of these things, they can eat them for a long time, which may be enough for them to last until the snow stops.
But if this old couple gives something to others from time to time, no matter how much they have, they can't stop them from wasting it like this.
"But there are still a few lives outside. That baby will die if he doesn't eat!" The old man said tremblingly. After living for most of his life, he didn't know the current situation. He just looked at those little babies. , he would remember that when his sons were young, he simply couldn't bear their suffering.
"Grandpa Li, no matter how pitiful they are, it's none of our business. If you give them food, we will have nothing to eat, and we will be hungry by then. These days, Dabao and Erbao have already taken care of us. You regard them as your own grandparents, can you bear to see them suffering and starving?"
Peng Li cried, pulling her two children forward, who also looked pitifully. Holding an old couple.
At this moment, she had already regarded everything in this house as theirs, and how could she remember that she herself was taken in by others.
The old couple of the Li family looked at the two children, and finally felt a little embarrassed. In the end, they just said that they would give a piece of bread to the children outside the house. This was their insistence, and Peng Li could only agree.
But, watching them hand the bread boy out and listening to the sounds of gratitude coming from outside, she stared at the backs of the old couple with hatred in her eyes.
But when they turned around, she looked pitiful and meek again...
“Residents of Tianhai Road are invited to go to Nanfeng Square to collect survival supplies. Get one copy. Elderly children or special persons with limited mobility can ask their family members to collect it on their behalf with their ID cards."
"Residents of Tianhai Road please..."
In her sleep, Qin Xingyue heard such a broadcast coming from her ears. She opened her eyes and listened carefully again. After realizing that she heard it correctly, she hurried to the window and saw a speaker on a drone. Keep repeating one thing.
Qin Xingyue saw many people sticking their heads out of their homes and looking up at the sky, all with happy faces.
Some people even shouted in the direction of the drone: "I have no food at home, give us some!"
But the drone would not give any reply, they just After wandering in the sky of this community for a while, repeating the content of that sentence to ensure that everyone living here could hear it, he went in another direction.
The drone left, but everyone heard the content, which told them to go to Nanfeng Square to get survival supplies.
It was their country that took action!
This thought flashed through everyone's mind, and everyone became excited. Without saying a word, they packed up their equipment and walked out.
Qin Xingyue put down the telescope, thought for a while, put on her coat and hat, closed the door, and planned to go out and take a look.
Even if she is not short of supplies, she still has to take a look at such an opportunity. Otherwise, people around her will easily know that she is not short of supplies, and she will be easily targeted.
The purpose of going out is to cover up others' eyes and ears, and to inquire about the situation outside. If there is a chance, then search for the surrounding supplies.
