Chapter 52: News from Shelters

The villagers moved around, found their relatives, cooked firewood together, lived together, and put food together.

Except for Xiang Yu, no one in the village dared to look for her. Who would dare to live with a murderer?

In their minds, Xiang Yu is no different from a murderer.

But because of the suggestion from the village chief's son, the family of the great-grandmother next door was gradually exposed to the public's sight.

In addition to Uncle Xiang, great-grandmother also has a younger son who also lives in the village. His family brought firewood to the door the next day.

The youngest son and his wife were not lazy people and were usually very hardworking. They brought a lot of firewood, and Xiang Yu made a rough calculation.

If we burn it sparingly, it should be able to last for another two months. If we hold on a little longer, we will be able to welcome the high temperatures.

But Uncle Xiang refused to let his brother and his family in, saying that he did not want to live together. Xiang Yu was of course aware of his thoughts.

They had bought so many bags of rice before, and if people knew that they still had food at home at this time when everyone was hungry,

One can imagine what is waiting for them.

The elder brother shut out the younger brother, and the villagers soon started talking about it, even the details that they would hardly think of under normal circumstances.

At this time, it was also dug out bit by bit.

"By the way, have you ever seen them digging tree roots in the mountains? I think I've only seen it once or twice." There were more than a dozen beds on the ground next to the fire.

Almost twenty villagers sat together, discussing in low voices.

"I've only seen him once or twice. Is it the time we went there together before? I just remembered..."

"Oh, now I remember that I only went to their house once or twice and dug up four tree roots."

"Do you think that with so many people in their family, four tree roots can sustain them for two months? I don't think I've seen them go up the mountain for two months."

As they spoke, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Just a few days ago, the eldest brother of the Xiang family went to visit his mother with firewood on his back, but they didn't even open the door for him. They even asked him to go back, saying that they didn't want to live together."

"I think they must still have food..." An aunt sat up from her bed, her eyes glowing green as she looked at the potatoes on the fire.

"Why don't we go and take a look later," one person suggested.

"Come on, he even rejected his own brother, let alone outsiders like us," and they added some dry firewood to the fire.

Xiang Yu took the radio he got from under Xiang Nan's bed. He had the radio for more than a month, but had not received any message.

Holding the radio, Xiang Yu walked around the yard as usual, changing his position in an attempt to receive some signal.

Even though she had been doing this for half a month, she didn't feel bored.

Just as Xiang Yu climbed onto the roof, there was a crackling sound of electricity suddenly coming from the radio. A hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and Xiang Yu quickly changed the position of the radio in his hand.

After confirming that the signal could only be received on the right side of the roof, Xiang Yu took out two cotton coats from the space and put them on decisively.

After all, the temperature is too low. Standing at a high place, you can not only experience the low temperature, but also feel the biting cold wind.

The sound of electricity crackled for about two minutes. Xiang Yu turned the button to adjust the channel, and soon a steady male voice was heard.

But it was only sporadic news.

"This is... Zizi, A City Shelter... Zizi, please pay attention, citizens... Zizi, every area..."

The content was disjointed, but Xiang Yu still got the general idea. City A was the capital, and she had lived there in her previous life.

We were rescued only after the extreme heat set in, but the shelter was still safer than the outside. After all, our lives were guaranteed inside.

“Citizens of City A, please... zizi, go to Phoenix Mountain..." The radio was broadcasting a message asking the citizens of City A who were closest to Phoenix Mountain to go to Phoenix Mountain on their own.

Those who are too far away can only wait for rescue, but there are too many refugees and it will take a long time to wait for rescue.

There were no radios in the dormitories at the time, and few people had radios, even if they received news about the shelter.

But without good enough cold-proof equipment and enough food, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to reach the shelter by yourself.

City A, as the capital, must have the most complete information. Xiang Yu listened for a long time after the news about the shelter was broadcast.

Only then will we start reporting on the upcoming weather changes.

"The temperature has now dropped to minus 52 degrees Celsius, but please rest assured, no matter how hard or difficult it is, you must hold on, because the rescue team may be on the way."

"Difficulties will not defeat us, they will only make us stronger..." the announcer said some inspiring lines before getting into the topic.

"According to experts' predictions, the cold weather is expected to continue in the next three months. Please allocate supplies reasonably."

"In addition, experts predict that extreme weather will occur after the snow melts. For safety reasons, please go to the shelter in your city."
