Apocalyptic Pastoral Landlord

Qin Suyun had a dream, dreaming that she was betrayed by her husband and friend, ending up lonely and miserable. In her dream, she witnessed a global natural disaster, with the entire world devasta...

Chapter 8080

Yunhai City is a large city located in the central and southern part of China.

As a city close to the central and southern parts of the country, the winter temperature in Yunhai City is relatively much higher than in the north. In the past decade, the lowest temperature in the entire Yunhai Province has remained above -10 degrees Celsius. Even when it is windy and snowy, the temperature does not drop below this level.

But this time, the snowstorm that lasted for three days and three nights directly caused the local temperature to drop to minus 28 degrees Celsius!

Qin Suyun stared at the temperature meter in the room with a frown. Except for the room with a kang, the highest temperature in the other rooms in the house was only minus 13 degrees Celsius. In some places near the window outside the house, the temperature was even a few degrees lower.

Now, she has to heat a hot water bottle for herself every night, otherwise she won’t be able to keep warm in bed all night. Fortunately, there is no water in the tap water pipe outside the house, otherwise it would have frozen by now. However, the underground water well dug by her family has not been frozen.

Qin Suyun sat indoors and looked at the temperature displayed on the thermometer hanging in her house. Her brows were almost wrinkled into a "川" shape. Her home was so cold now, and she didn't know how other people outside would survive this winter?

During this period of time, Qin Suyun has not had a single dream about predicting the future. All she has are the memories brought to her by those dreams.

But the current development of events is obviously very different from the first complete predictive dream. Perhaps the natural disasters that were supposed to happen in the dream will still occur, but the timing of these disasters has shown obvious deviations, catching people off guard.

This time, she had a premonition that perhaps the weather would really change after the heavy snow...

Qin Suyun stared at the snowstorm outside the window with a worried look on her face, thinking about the future and worrying whether this village, which had been mostly reduced to ruins, could still withstand future disasters.

Qin Suyun's face was full of worry, and He Zhennan thought that Qin Suyun was worried about what to do if there was not enough food in the coming period because the snowstorm was too severe.

In the past ten days, He Zhennan has gotten to know the situation of the entire Wanxi Village, as well as some things in the family of the woman in front of him. She is a resident who has only moved to Wanxi Village for half a year. Her purpose of coming here is to build a suitable flower garden. After all the preliminary preparations were completed, she encountered this earthquake.

Although this is a bit strange, it is understandable when considering what he and Pang Xiong saw at the hospital gate last time.

Change the environment, change your mood.

Since the other party's ex-husband is a scumbag, it is normal for her to want to move out of Lixi Village where her ex-husband lives.

Don't ask He Zhennan how he knew that.

In fact, it is only 20 to 30 kilometers from Wanxi Village to Lixi Village.

It's common for a family to marry a daughter from one village, or a family to marry a daughter from another village. It's not uncommon for families to be related. Because of this, gossip spreads quickly.

Qin Suyun's activities here are so big, building houses and repairing flower gardens, her identity has long been known among many people in Wanxi Village, and most of the villagers know Qin Suyun's identity.

Qin Suyun runs a flower garden, so the food stored at home is definitely not as much as that of other people in the village who work in the fields.

"Although this blizzard has frozen all the roads outside, making it impossible for others to drive into the village to sell food, and the transport planes above can't come down to distribute relief supplies, you don't have to worry about food. I can borrow some food from the village chief, Uncle Jiu, and others, and I'll return it to them after the snow stops."

He Zhennan spoke slowly but with a serious expression. After he finished speaking, he gave Qin Suyun a particularly honest smile.

Qin Suyun turned her head, shifting her gaze from the snowy scene outside the window to He Zhennan's face. She smiled startledly and said, "You've lost your memory and don't even know where you live. What are you going to give back to the village chief and the others? Since the New Year is approaching, I've stocked up on New Year's goods, so we won't be short of food for the time being. Besides, I've planted some fruits and vegetables on the third floor. Why don't you go upstairs with Zhazha to pick some strawberries? And pollinate the ones that are blooming."

There are a lot of fruits planted on the third floor of my house, but most of them are not in season.

Strawberries were flourishing this season. The strawberry seedlings upstairs, having previously absorbed Jade Dew, and now in their fruiting season, didn't need Qin Suyun to water them with Jade Dew. They thrived, with each plant producing two or three ripe fruits almost daily. The glass house on the third floor held over thirty strawberry plants, yielding a daily harvest of over a pound.

These strawberries taste great, and Zhazha looks forward to eating a few almost every day.

The other furry animals in the house also liked it very much. Qin Suyun saw that He Zhennan liked to be close to Xiaoqi and the others, so she gave this task to He Zhennan and said she could eat any other fruits. She had not finished eating the fruits she had collected before.

"Oh, okay." He Zhennan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, very obediently. He walked to a corner of the living room, picked up the box of fruits on the table and went to the third floor. By the way, he also picked up Zhazha, whose face was shining.

As soon as the big parrot heard that there was food, it happily followed He Zhennan upstairs, not caring whether the temperature in other rooms was much lower than this one. The excitement was enough to burn in its blood, and the bird felt warm in its heart!

It's strange these days. The fur on Dahei and Heidou's bodies is obviously much thicker than before, and their daily food intake has been increasing. It was only in the last two days that it gradually calmed down and stabilized.

Qin Suyun calculated carefully and found that Hei Dou and the others now eat about three times as much as before, but their body size does not seem to have changed much, but their weight has obviously increased a lot. This feeling is especially obvious every time Hei Dou jumps into her arms and rubs against her for a hug!

Moreover, during these days, her own appetite seemed to have increased, but not as obviously as that of black beans. Normally, she would only eat one bowl of rice, but now she has to eat two bowls a day, as if only in this way can she ensure her body's consumption.

Qin Suyun didn't know whether this was because something had changed in her body, or because the weather was too cold and her body automatically wanted to absorb more energy to maintain body temperature. But all in all, it didn't seem to have much benefit.

In Wanxi Village, in Zhao Xingguo's wooden house, a family of seven were sitting around the brazier, huddled together in the cold.

The wind and snow were blowing outside the window. Even though they were sitting in the house, they still felt as if they were sitting in the wind and snow. Zhao Yinsheng's wife's teeth were chattering from the cold, and Zhao Yinsheng hugged her into his arms.

"Dad, the weather is too cold and the wooden house is very drafty. Why don't we stay at my cousin's house for a few days? If it gets any colder, I'm afraid our bodies won't be able to bear it!" Zhao Yinsheng hugged his wife and rubbed her hands to keep her warm, while looking at Old Mrs. Zhao, who was also shivering from the cold, with a worried look on his face.

The old lady is almost 80 years old this year. She is holding a hot water bottle in her hand, but she is still very cold.

Three braziers had been lit in their home at this time, and the air in the whole room was very stuffy, but the cold air outside kept pouring into their house.

If this continues, Zhao Yinsheng feels that the oxygen in their room might have been burned out, and their family will still be suffering from cold hands and feet and chattering teeth.

"What are you talking about? This house has been passed down from our ancestors. Generations of people have lived here. It's in great shape! How much draft can it let in? It's snowing so heavily outside. What's the difference between going to your uncle's house and staying at home? They're both different, but still this cold? Do you think it won't be cold if you live in your uncle's house?"

"Besides, if we go to your uncle's house now, the roof of our house might collapse under the heavy snow. Then where will our family live after the snow stops?"

Zhao Xingguo frowned, but seeing that the old lady and the younger generation in the family were all freezing cold, he could only sigh and say, "Alas... I'd better ask your mother to make a pot of chili ginger soup first, so that the whole family can warm up. If we go to your cousin's house later, we won't be able to do anything, even boil water."

Zhao Xingguo had his own considerations. After thinking about it, he decided not to go to his cousin's house.

They had only moved out of the other family's house a few days ago, so it would be a bad idea to move back in. Furthermore, having seven of them go to their house would always make the other family feel uncomfortable, especially since his cousin's wife was a powerful woman. He probably wouldn't be treated well if he went there again.

Seeing that his father was very stubborn and didn't agree to go to his cousin's house, Zhao Jinsheng could only sigh and say, "Then I'll go boil some hot water so everyone can soak their feet and warm up."

After the snowstorm came, everything was in short supply except water. We could just dig some snow outside to boil a large pot of hot water.

After they drank the spicy ginger soup and soaked their feet, the family finally felt completely warmed up.

Old Mrs. Zhao looked at her two granddaughters-in-law, whose faces had turned pale from the cold. Listening to the howling snowstorm outside, she sighed with worry, "This year has been so rough for us. I don't know what will happen in the future. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid life will be hard for everyone in the village... Maybe people will die... Xingguo, don't you think this is a punishment from heaven? Otherwise, why would there be such high temperatures, earthquakes, and now hail and heavy snow..."

The old lady always felt uneasy when she saw the weather outside.

The old ladies in the village have always liked to believe in Buddhism, and Old Mrs. Zhao naturally believes in it as well, so she naturally thinks about it more than others.

"Grandma, there's no such thing as punishment or no punishment. If God really didn't want us to live, he should have killed our entire family when the earthquake hit. Why would he wait until now?" Zhao Yinsheng comforted the old lady, "So don't think too much. After the New Year, everything will be fine."

…………

Such extreme weather is not only unbearable for the villagers of Wanxi Village, but even the citizens living in Yunhai City are suffering. The citizens are even colder than the villagers living in the countryside.

In the past, in winter, people could sit indoors and enjoy the air conditioning or turn on the electric stove.

But this year is not only colder than previous years, but the earthquake has also caused widespread power outages. Forget about using air conditioning, we can't even boil water with electricity!

In order to keep warm, many people searched the rubble for scrap wood that could be burned, such as rotten wooden doors, rotten wooden tables and chairs, and some people even spent a lot of money to get the scrap wood for burning!
