Chapter 43 Mobilization for Snow Sweeping

Finally, Jiang Rong found an automatic tricycle in the back room of the house, and it looked quite new.

In addition there is a motorcycle and a battery.

However, the keys to the motorcycle and the battery are missing. I may have to look for them later. If I can’t find them, they are probably in the stomach of a quack or other mutant beast.

"Let's move the things to the living room first, and then let Wu Hui go and ask if anyone has a truck?" Zhao Caier also suggested. Even though there is no one in the room, there are still quite a lot of things to see.

In addition, all supplies found in the village must be turned in for the time being. Once you reach the county town, only 30% of what you bring back will be confiscated.

Several people had no objection to this and nodded silently.

Then we separated and each found a room.

The extra person went to the kitchen at the back of the first floor.

Jiang Rong went to the room on the right side of the first floor of the house. She went in and took a look around and found that this room was where people stored grain, which was equivalent to a granary.

In the middle of the room was a large bed with thick bedding, but it was now covered with blood and hair, and the floor was also covered with dried blood stains.

Half of the thick two-layer quilt fell to the ground, and the other half was twisted on the bed. Jiang Rong pursed his lips slightly, then grabbed the two corners of the quilt on the headboard, folded the quilt neatly again, like a bulging tofu block, and then carried the quilt out and placed it on the ground outside.

Although there are blood stains on it, it is still semi-new bedding and can be used. It just may feel a little uncomfortable when using it. If the weather is good, it can be washed and dried in the sun for a few more days.

If no one dares to use it because they feel disgusted, then what about this big bed of cotton? You can use it as fuel to burn for heating. It will always be useful.

In the end times, food is not the only thing considered as supplies.

In addition to the bedding, there were also two or three blankets and old quilts underneath, as well as sheets and pillows, all of which were folded up by Jiang Rong and moved out.

Next was the bed, which was a Simmons brand. Jiang Rong didn’t ask anyone for help. She dismantled all the wooden boards of the bed by herself, moved it several times, and piled them all in the living room.

At this time, several people who were moving things out of the rooms looked at the bedding and bed boards scattered all over the floor...

"Hahaha, Jiang Rong, you are from the moving company, right?" Li Tao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But it wasn't a deliberate teasing, it was just a normal joke, and Jiang Rong didn't take it seriously.

"These are all useful. Food is not the only thing that can be called supplies. Don't forget to move these later. Except for the walls, everything else in the house can be moved away. When supplies become increasingly scarce in the future, you won't laugh anymore." Jiang Rong stated the facts.

Cai'er Xin Jue knew Jiang Rong's secret inside out, so when he heard her say this, he nodded seriously.

Chen Ru has the same personality as Xin Jue. She smiles at everyone she meets and seems to have a good relationship with everyone, but she is actually a very calm and thoughtful person. She has no objection to Jiang Rong's words at this moment.

As for Li Tao, he reached out and touched the back of his head. He was just joking because the atmosphere was too depressing. In fact, he also knew the truth of what Jiang Rong said.

In addition, there is a large barn in their village, which is where the rice is stored after the harvest.

People usually weigh the amount of their own rice in advance. After the counting is completed, they can put their own rice into the designated location early in the morning, and then wait for the grain collectors to come and pay and take it away directly, which is more convenient.

This relatively large granary was the place planned by Wu Hui and four other representatives to store supplies in the future.

This year's new rice has been sold long ago, and the barn is now empty.

After this small episode, several people went into the house to search.

In addition to the bed, there are two wooden bedside tables on both sides of the bed, and a wooden table in front of it with an old-fashioned TV on it.

Jiang Rong was not an expert on televisions, so he had no idea what they were used for, but some of the parts inside might be useful in the future, so he moved them all out.

A little further in is a wooden cabinet, which is quite large. There are a lot of clothes in the cabinet. The upper layer is filled with thick clothes, and the lower layer is filled with some thin summer clothes.

She also dug out a white plastic bag from the depths of the cabinet. It looked very old. There were more than two hundred yuan in it, all in stacks of five, ten, and twenty yuan. There was also a jade bracelet that looked very old and had some cracks.

The money in this plastic bag is probably what the old man in this family has saved for a long time. As for the jade bracelet, it might be her dowry when she was young.

Jiang Rong sighed, then went out and called Xin Jue in, and the two of them moved it together. The cabinet was taller than Jiang Rong, so it was not easy to move it alone.

After moving all the miscellaneous things in the room, all that was left was the pile of food on the inner side of the room.

Jiang Rong looked around carefully, and felt that these did not seem like supplies the family had prepared specifically for the extreme cold, but more like New Year's goods.

There were three boxes of tangerines, one of which had been opened but not much had been eaten. There were also two boxes of apples and one box of pears.

Five boxes of nuts, including peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, almonds and pistachios.

A big gift bag containing various snacks such as pork curd, dried fruits, duck necks and duck racks, crispy kelp and lotus root spicy strips, etc.

There is also a small box of the best ham sausage.

Jiang Rong moved these out one by one, and after moving around for a while, he even broke out in a slight sweat.

At this time, the outside of the living room was already filled with a mess of things.

"Let's move some of it to the car first and send it over?"

The other people saw the living room full of things, with no place to step, and could only nod helplessly.

"Let the three of us go together, one rides the tricycle, and the other two follow behind to protect us. If we meet Wu Hui and the others on the road, ask them to help find a car. Otherwise, if we only use this small tricycle to move the house, it will take us several days to move." Jiang Rong suggested.

And now she gave up the idea of exposing the little snake's space to use as a cover for herself.

It's better to have less trouble than more, otherwise there will be a lot of favors and blackmail in the future, and at that time, the fate of the entire village will be weighed on her head...

Afterwards, Xin Jue, Li Tao and Chen Ru went to deliver the supplies together. Li Tao rode on the cart, while Xin Jue and Chen Ru stood silently on guard and helped push the cart behind.

Then, before they had driven even one meter, the car got stuck in the snow.

"No, the snow is too deep to drive."

"We need to call everyone in the house to come out and clear the snow on the road. We have almost cleared out the mutant beasts in the village. There shouldn't be any large-scale mutant beasts appearing for a while. If it's those small mutant beasts that roam in groups, there are more than 500 people in our village, and each person can kill one, which is enough.

Anyway, they can't just stay in the house forever. The key is that the road is blocked. How long will it take for us to move there? And the car can't be driven..."

Li Tao tried very hard to drive the tricycle, his face turned red, but he didn't drive very far. Then he jumped off the tricycle in a frustrated mood and said in a low voice.

"It seems that this is the only thing we can do now. I guess it's the same for others. Let's put the things in the room here for now, close the door, and go check on the situation where other people are." Chen Ru and Li Tao have a familiar relationship, so she took over the conversation.

Jiang Rong and others nodded helplessly.

If this is the case, then if they want to go to the county town later, they probably have no choice but to walk.

Fortunately, the physical fitness of those psychics has generally improved now, otherwise they would not be able to bear staying outside for a long time.

After leaving the house, Jiang Rong and his companions looked around and found that there were already many people like them, walking out of the houses without anything in their hands.

The snow had stopped falling in the sky, but it was still dark. There was a thick layer of clouds that blocked out the little sunlight that was left.

When Jiang Rong followed the crowd and found Wu Hui and his friends, they were already discussing the issue of snow on the road.

"Call out those people in the house. It will be faster if more people are involved. Otherwise, it will take us forever with only more than 30 people.

The elderly and children don’t need to come out, but other people have to come out to help, right?

If they are afraid of danger, we can bring some people with us in each group, so that they can protect them if anything happens. And some smaller mutant beasts can be killed with just one shovel. If they are not afraid, ordinary people can kill them together.

Anyway, we can’t just stay in the room all day and do nothing just because they don’t have special abilities. We work so hard while they sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor?” The speaker was a single household in the village, and most of the family members had either passed away or left.

At this time, the other psychics did not speak. Although they all had the same idea in their hearts, no one could say it as bluntly and harshly as he did.

After all, their own family members didn’t come out to help…

After a moment of silence, Jiang Rong spoke first: "People between the ages of 18 and 55, if they are in good health, can be asked to come out to help. After all, what we are doing now is also to help them. If there are really people who are so shameless that they refuse to come out to help, then when the supplies are distributed, they will not be included."

After hearing what Jiang Rong said, most of the others nodded in agreement.

Although the personalities of these two people are equally unpleasant, it is undeniable that Jiang Rong's words made them feel much more comfortable.

Wu Hui himself also had the task of collecting supplies. Several people in his own team had encountered the same situation as everyone else. If the accumulated snow was not dealt with, the road would indeed be impassable.

Now he listened to Jiang Rong's proposal and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go inform them right away."

"Everyone should go door to door to notify each household according to the area you are responsible for. Otherwise, with only four of you, the speed will be very slow and the workload will be heavy. In addition, you can also find out who has extra transportation tools, and hope they can borrow them to facilitate our task of collecting supplies. If the other party is unwilling, we can also rent them with supplies. In short, let's discuss it through negotiation." Jiang Rong tactfully rejected Wu Hui's words.

Wu Hui's expression froze when he heard this, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded in agreement.
