Pick up people

Hearing this, Jiang Tian's face changed drastically. Something must have happened in the past two days for grandma to say such a thing. The old lady who was usually so calm would also say words full of anger.

Jiang Tian sensed something was wrong and whispered, "Grandma, it's me."

After hearing Jiang Tian's voice, the room was quiet for a while. Then Jiang Tian heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground. After waiting for a while, the window was gently pushed open.

Looking at his grandfather's face, which looked several times older than it did a few months ago, Jiang Tian didn't know what to say.

After the grandfather in the room confirmed the person, he made a gesture to Jiang Tian, ​​indicating her to come into the house.

Seeing her grandpa being so cautious, Jiang Tian felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She didn't know what had happened, but her grandparents had changed so much.

My grandfather's family was well-off. He went to college, fell in love with his classmate, my grandmother, and got married and had children. Later, because of some things, he came here.

My grandfather's surname was Chen and his given name was Li. It was a time of turmoil at the time, and the elders in the family hoped that he would be able to remain steadfast under any circumstances. The name was taken from the "Book of Rites" which means meticulous and knowledgeable.

My grandmother's family had been doctors for generations, and she herself possessed considerable skill. The family named her Zhaofu, inspired by the aconite's characteristic of floating rather than sinking, and its ability to move without stopping. It also expressed the hope of the elders that she would survive no matter what her future held, even if she took unconventional paths.

Having experienced so many things over the years, both of them are very calm and do things without rushing or panicking. This is the first time Jiang Tian has seen them lose their composure like this.

Grandpa made way for Jiang Tian to enter, then looked around the door before closing it again. But it wasn't over yet. Jiang Tian watched as Grandpa moved a large stone over and held the door tightly from behind.

Thinking of what he saw on the road, his grandmother's reaction, and his grandfather's behavior, Jiang Tian thought that he might have guessed something.

But the specific details still need to be heard from the two old men in person.

As soon as he entered the house and saw the scene inside, Jiang Tian frowned unconsciously. His grandparents' house, which had always been clean and tidy, was now in a mess, as if a thief had broken in.

Look at grandma who just came out of the bedroom. Her usually neat hair is now combed casually.

Jiang Tian didn't expect that someone could be so bold when the rain hadn't even lasted two days and 24 hours. Judging from the few words from his grandparents and the situation at home, he couldn't believe it.

Jiang Tian knew that his guess was probably the truth.

But now is not the time to talk about this. She guessed that they had not eaten well in the past two days, so she took off her backpack.

"I brought some food for you. Eat something first." At this point, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't originally pack any braised food. It was just some strange coincidence that he packed a big box for his grandparents when he went out. He didn't expect to use it now.

She first straightened the table that had fallen to one side, placed the braised food on the table, and then took out the chocolate and compressed biscuits she had brought with her. She had bought them for novelty, but she had not expected that they would come in handy now.

"Grandpa and grandma, don't heat the braised food. Eat it cold to prevent the smell from spreading."

Hearing Jiang Tian say this, Shen Li Zhao Fu knew that Jiang Tian had guessed what was going on. After all, they had experienced a lot in their lives, but as they got older, they let down their guard.

"I didn't bring any staple food, so grandpa and grandma, you can just make do with compressed biscuits." Jiang Tian searched through his backpack and found that he only brought high-energy and high-density foods, and no food like steamed buns or biscuits.

"It's enough for us to eat this. It's already very good. You don't know. I thought we would never see you again." What Zhao Fu was most worried about was his granddaughter.

She has few relatives now. If both she and Shen Li die, she will be so sad.

Chen Li saw that Jiang Tian's eyes turned red when he heard this, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, the child's heart is so good, only when he is full can he be fine, this is not a big deal."

Having said that, Chen Li and Zhao Fu have thoroughly understood the situation outside in the past two days. Moreover, they have a yard at home with some vegetables planted on it, so they naturally know about the changes in the world.

The most dangerous thing is that there is no signal, and order can only be maintained through loudspeakers in each village.

At this time, it depends on which village cadres are responsible. Unfortunately, the village cadres on Chenli Zhaofu's side are not very responsible.

After the heavy rain, all the vegetables in the fields withered and died. Nothing that came into contact with the rain survived, even those in the greenhouse were no exception. This was probably because the rainwater entered the soil and seeped into every corner.

Both old people knew that it was uncertain when relief would arrive. After all, they could not contact the outside world and did not know how many places were affected or how large the area was.

So eat less of these foods.

Seeing that the two of them said they were full after taking a few bites, Jiang Tian wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. He decided to leave all these things to his grandparents. Now, another important thing was to do something else.

"I'm feeling a little better now. Can you tell me what happened?" Jiang Tian said calmly.

"It was originally just a small matter..." Chen Li told the story slowly, and Zhao Fu supplemented it at any time.

To sum up, everyone noticed that the time was wrong yesterday at noon. Thanks to the convenient society, even in rural areas, people don’t keep a lot of food at home.

They could still have a meal in the morning, but by noon, some people had run out of food and started complaining. At this time, a family not far from my grandparents came to my grandparents' house.

He wanted to borrow some vegetables from his grandparents because they were an old man and not young anymore. Zhao Fu felt sorry for him, although he didn't know what changes had taken place in the world.

But the changes are just beginning now, so social order should not be disrupted.

This is what Shen Li Zhaofu thought.

But contrary to expectations, things were still developing normally at this time.

Zhao Fu was seen giving food to the old man, and no one knew when things would return to normal. At this time, the more food in the house, the better.

Then a group of people came and begged for food at the door of Zhao Fu's house in Chenli. There were so many people, including many young and middle-aged people. Zhao Fu certainly would not be kind to these people.

Who knew that the group of people would directly break down their door and squeeze into their yard.

After Shen Li and Zhao Fu repeatedly rejected them, they went straight into their room and started looking for food, taking it away whenever they saw it.

Hearing this, Jiang Tian could no longer suppress her anger. She suddenly stood up and said, "Who are these people? I want to see who is looking after the two elderly people at home and bullying them like this."

"This is already illegal!"

Jiang Tian never expected that something like this would happen in such a short time. If he had known earlier, he would have come over. Seeing that there were people at home, these people would have been cautious and would not have dared to do many things.

Chen Li and Zhao Fu sat next to him, persuading Jiang Tian not to be impulsive. How could they not be angry? These people would not leave them any chance to survive. But now there was no signal and they could not call the police.

Besides, they are old and young, so how can they reason with the young and middle-aged people?

Jiang Tian looked around, trying to calm down his anger and calm himself down. Getting angry now would not solve any problems.

She sat down, but what she said made the two old people freeze in their places, "Grandpa and grandma, you can go stay with me first."

"No." It was Zhao Fu who spoke first, and his words shocked Jiang Tian. Zhao Fu always loved her, so why would he refuse so quickly?

"We are doing well here." Chen Li also said.

"You call this pretty good, but what's bad? Starving to death?" Jiang Tian's words left the two old men speechless.

Zhao Fu took Jiang Tian's hand and said, "We will be a burden to you if we go there. We can always find a way here." Shen Li also nodded in agreement. They can still move now, so how can they let the child be raised?

"You guys went to my place to keep me company. I'm a little scared living alone." After saying this, Jiang Tian continued, "If they dare to break in now, they will dare to do it next time. Do you want this meeting to be our last?"

Then, Jiang Tian said countless words and finally persuaded Shen Li and Zhao Fu.

Because this trip might take several months, which is the longest time the two old people have estimated. They think that in a few months, the country will solve the problem one way or another, and then they will be safe.

Next, you need to put all your things away properly, because you will be leaving at any time and you can't take much with you. At most, you can only take some valuables, some clothes, and some food hidden at home.

While the two old people were busy, Jiang Tian was not idle either. She followed the instructions she got from Zhao Fu and walked in the moonless village with a bag in her hand.

Because she comes here frequently, Jiang Tian is very familiar with the roads here. Even without light, she knows how to get there.

Once grandparents left, they would be discovered in a few days. In order to avoid trouble and to collect some interest from their bullying of grandparents, Jiang Tian decided to do something to divert their attention.

What she was holding in her hands were some easy-to-preserve foods that she had just secretly taken while Chen Li and Zhao Fu were not paying attention, as well as some packaging bags, boxes and the like.

She first came to the door of a house. She knew that this family and the family next door had all gone to their grandparents' house, and the relationship between the two families was not good, so she no longer hesitated to do things.

First, put the empty food packaging bag at the door of this family, but it is in a blind spot, but another family upstairs can see it clearly.

Then, some unopened food was placed at the door next to his house, making it look like it had been dropped in a hurry.

Then she wandered around the rest of the village, repeating the same process.

Of course, because food was limited, and also because it would be untrue if everyone who went to Shenli Zhaofu's house encountered this kind of thing.

She chose to set off fireworks in those families with whom she had bad relations with the neighbors, as well as those who added fuel to the fire.

Although he couldn't see what happened in the village tomorrow, Jiang Tian had already started to pray for them hypocritically.

Pray that these people will run into each other at the same time.

Even if it's unlucky, at least a few of them will succeed, after all, she has invested so much.

She returned home with a much lighter backpack and saw that many things were missing from the house. "Grandpa and grandma, we went there on foot, and we can't take these things with us." She called Chen Li Zhao Fu softly.

"It's okay. We're not taking these large items with us. Just now, when I was cleaning up with your grandfather, I discovered that the cellar we dug a long time ago is still usable. We plan to hide the large items in the house in it."
