Dahei and Heidou's wound healed quickly, and he became lively and energetic the next day after eating the jade dew. As a fighting dog, Dahei was very energetic. If it weren't for Qin Suyun's dislike of excessive noise, Qin Suyun felt that this guy would have to run around the house happily.
But come to think of it, this guy is a large dog. He needs to exercise every day to consume his energy. Otherwise, he will have excess energy and might turn into the captain of the demolition team in the next second.
It would take at least ten days for the puppies in the kennel to be slaughtered. Qin Suyun thought about it and decided not to wait here any longer. She drove back to the village first and asked the construction team to fill in and rebuild the mud brick house left by her grandmother.
After the natural disaster, the latest abnormality is the cold weather. Spring has not yet arrived, and winter has continued...
After this long winter, the most devastating disaster was the global earthquake. These earthquakes would occur continuously, and countless people would die from collapsed houses. In her dream, the house she currently lived in collapsed because of the earthquake.
By then, it would be impossible to live in the city anymore. Moreover, without food, she would starve to death sooner or later even if she lived in the city.
Therefore, Qin Suyun had made plans long ago. She planned to move back to the village before the natural disaster came, just like herself in her dream.
"The new old house must be built with the best reinforced concrete, and it must be able to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake!" Having made up her mind, Qin Suyun packed her bags.
Qin Suyun's hometown, Lixi Village, is located in Ningyong County, west of Yunhai City. It took her more than two hours to drive there. She took a few sets of clothes and a cat and a dog with her.
As soon as she returned to the village, many villagers greeted Qin Suyun with smiles. Qin Suyun grew up in the village when she was a child. When her grandmother was alive, she stayed here every winter and summer vacation. After coming here a few times, she became very familiar with the people in the village.
"Hey! Isn't this Suyun?! Come on, come to our house and have a cup of tea!" Aunt Huang at the village entrance smiled like Maitreya Buddha and waved to Qin Suyun enthusiastically.
"Aunt, no thanks. I have a pet in the car, so it's not convenient for me to go to your house. I just bought this bag of candy. Give it to Diandian." Aunt Huang was always very polite to her and her grandmother, and they were considered close relatives. Aunt Huang's family had a three-year-old grandson named Diandian, so every time she returned to the village, Qin Suyun would bring some good imported candy for him.
"I'm so sorry! Thank you, Suyun." Aunt Huang took the candy, glanced at the sleek big wolfhound lying on Qin Suyun's car window, was stunned for a moment, then waved to her grandson and smiled politely.
"It's okay, auntie, I'll leave first." After saying that, Qin Suyun got into the car again and drove into the village.
The Qin family's house is located at the east end of the village, right next to the road at the edge of the village. Qin Suyun drove the car into the gate of her own yard. After entering the house, she felt that this old red brick house seemed to be even older. It seemed that houses that no one lived in always rotted particularly quickly.
After letting Dahei Heidou out of the car, Qin Suyun rolled up her sleeves and cleaned up the room. Since she was planning to tear down the house and rebuild it, she didn't plan to spend a lot of effort on cleaning. She just quickly cleaned up her bedroom and kitchen. Then she took the fruits and snacks she had prepared and went to the mountain to worship her parents and grandparents.
However, Dahei took the initiative to carry Heidou and followed Qin Suyun. After spending these days together, Heidou's attitude towards Dahei became much better, especially after drinking the Jade Dew. It seemed as if all their hatred disappeared overnight. No one knew what happened.
By the time Qin Suyun came down from the mountain, it was already dark. She tidied up and went to bed.
While sleeping, Qin Suyun seemed to be dreaming again in a daze.
This time she dreamed of heavy snow and bone-chilling cold...
The cold wind of severe winter made people's bones ache. In the dream, Qin Suyun was wearing an old gray-black cotton-padded jacket left by her grandmother, holding a two-year-old baby in her arms. She was sweating profusely with anxiety. Her eyes were red. Looking at the mark of 41.5℃ on the thermometer, she knocked on every door in the village, hoping to ask someone for some fever-reducing medicine.
"Aunt Huang, do you have any medicine to reduce fever? Can I buy it with my grain?"
"Where do we have any fever-reducing medicine? Besides, medicine is so expensive nowadays. Even if I have it, I can't sell it to you! Go away! Get out of here right now!" Aunt Huang, who was usually enthusiastic, now looked impatient and pushed Qin Suyun out directly. She pushed her with such force that she almost pushed her to the ground!
Qin Suyun staggered a few times and finally managed to stand steady. She pursed her lips and stroked the baby's cheek with her skinny hands. Feeling the child's temperature rising higher and higher, her heart ached and her eyes flushed.
Over the past two years, climate change has been exacerbated. Although we're in the subtropics, winter temperatures are even lower than in some areas of Mohe! These days, nighttime temperatures drop to -40 or -50 degrees Celsius! Countless elderly and children in the village have died of the cold or fallen ill due to the cold.
The earthquake two years ago not only destroyed many roads and caused changes in the magnetic field, but also made all electronic information products unusable. The widespread chaos caused the state machinery to cease functioning long ago.
Medicines and other life-saving items have become expensive luxuries.
Especially in remote rural areas like theirs, many people can’t even buy food!
But she was unwilling to watch her child die. Even though she knew the outcome and knew that the villagers would never sell the medicine to her, she still couldn't go home peacefully.
The outskirts of the village have long been filled with a lot of outsiders. Many of these people have fled from the city. They heard that Yunhai City is even more chaotic than theirs, and hunger has driven many people crazy.
Qin Suyun gazed at the small houses made of mud, wood, and thatch outside the village, listening to the distant weeping. She felt as if she had seen an ominous future. The biting cold north wind also blew into her heart, chilling it...
She knocked on the big iron gate of the last house in the village, and heard a dog barking and a woman's angry curse from inside the house. She could tell that this was an old man in the village who used to be the best friend of her grandmother.
"Why are you knocking? You short-lived ghost, what is there to knock about?!" The old lady rushed out of the room and looked at Qin Suyun holding the child in her arms. How could she not know Qin Suyun's plan?
The old lady rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "I'm telling you, we don't have a single fever-reducing medicine at home! Get out of here right now!"
"Grandma Xiuhua..." Qin Suyun pursed her lips, intending to shamelessly say a few words to beg the other party.
But the old lady immediately started cursing, "You married a loser, and you dare to come back to the village to ask for farmland to make a living? We don't even have enough land for our grandchildren! And now you dare to come here to ask for a scolding?!"
"I'm telling you! If this had happened in the past, a slut like you would have been drowned in a pond! Locked up in the ancestral hall and starved to death!"
