Qin Suyun was completely unaware of what was happening with Chen Zhou and Xu Rong. She was at home cleaning up various overturned utensils and trying to figure out how to make it less awkward to deliver a few baskets of charcoal to the injured villagers tomorrow.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! —
Suddenly, Qin Suyun's ears were filled with a series of banging sounds, as if countless stones were falling from the sky!
Qin Suyun's expression suddenly changed. She quickly dropped her work to see what was happening outside.
However, just with just these two glances, Qin Suyun's already ugly expression became even more serious!
Outside the window, huge flakes of white hail suddenly fell from the sky! Any of those hailstones were the size of eggs! Some of them were even larger than a human head.
"Bang!--!"
Qin Suyun heard a loud bang from the rooftop of her house. A hailstone the size of a watermelon, weighing over ten kilograms, rolled down from above. "Oh no! That hailstone must have just hit the glass house on the third floor!"
Although my glass house is made of bulletproof glass, I don’t know if it can withstand such large hailstones!
Fresh off the earthquake, they were met with torrential hailstorms in the blink of an eye. Those still living in the open fields and shacks in the village quickly evacuated. Zhao Xingguo and his son carried the injured villagers, braving the hail, and organized everyone to flee to the nearest houses.
The village, which had just regained a little vitality, became chaotic again, and the screams of the people cried and shouted, floating throughout the village.
Even though they evacuated in time, many people were still injured by the hailstones falling from the sky!
The most seriously injured one was hit on the head by hailstones and was bleeding. If he had not run away with one breath and into the nearest house, he might have collapsed in the hailstorm!
"Village Chief! What do you think we should do now?! We just had an earthquake, and now hail is coming? Isn't hail supposed to only happen in the summer?"
Many villagers were crowded in a house with Zhao Xingguo. The original owner of the house, Wu Chenglei, was looking at Zhao Xingguo anxiously and asking.
"Yes, Village Chief! Shouldn't it be snowing in the middle of winter? How could such huge hail suddenly fall?"
Hearing the ping-pong sounds around and looking at the hailstones falling from the sky, many villagers had tears in their eyes.
"Damn God, does he just not want us to live? Is that why he treats us like this?" They had never heard of those hailstones as big as watermelons before!
"Everyone, calm down. There's always a way to solve the problem! We can't just let fate kill us!" Zhao Xingguo sighed and encouraged the villagers around him, telling them not to give up. "If something like this happens here, it won't be long before rescue efforts come down from above to help us rebuild. So, we just have to get through these few days!"
"Yes, yes! The village chief is right. We already had an earthquake here, and everyone's houses were destroyed. This hailstorm won't make it any worse. When the government rescue arrives, maybe they'll even build us new houses!" Some optimistic people in the crowd tried to comfort the depressed villagers around them. "When there were earthquakes in the north and Sichuan before, those places suffered even worse damage than here! Didn't the government help everyone rebuild in the end? It was better, more beautiful, and more stunning! By then, maybe the whole village will be able to live in new high-rise buildings!"
Qin Suyun touched Hei Dou's warm fur and sat by the window watching the hailstorm with a worried look on her face. The hailstorm lasted all night and only stopped at around three in the morning.
Qin Suyun hadn't been able to get a good rest for the entire month because of her worry. Even the furry animals at home couldn't sleep peacefully. After all, both Dahei and Heidou had very sensitive hearing, and ordinary heavy rain could wake them up in their sleep, not to mention this hailstorm that smashed everything.
At four or five o'clock, the alarm rang. Qin Suyun didn't plan to rest any longer. She got dressed, tied her hair into a ponytail, and ran to the third floor to check the glass house at home. The entire glass house was constructed with steel bars and bulletproof glass. It cost Qin Suyun more than one million yuan.
Although the other party said that the bulletproof glass was very strong when buying it, and the other party had experienced an earthquake before, there was still an essential difference between this and the hail that fell from the sky before. Qin Suyun was a little worried.
When it was hailing last night, she didn't dare run to the glass room on the third floor to check because the hail was so large and fierce.
Only now, when the hail had stopped, did she dare to go up and check the situation.
The entire glass greenhouse was better preserved than she had imagined. There was only a piece of glass in the upper left corner of the house, which had obvious cracks. Judging from the location of the cracks, it should have been caused by the hailstone that weighed more than ten kilograms.
Due to the characteristics of bulletproof glass, even though the glass on the roof was cracked, no glass fragments fell from it. Qin Suyun breathed a sigh of relief and did not plan to replace the glass. Although this piece of bulletproof glass was cracked, it still had good light transmittance, so she did not want to waste the stock on hand.
After figuring out the situation in the glass room, Qin Suyun checked the other rooms with glass windows one by one. She felt relieved when she found that the glass windows of another room on the first floor were also cracked, but not completely shattered.
After a quick tidy up, Qin Suyun put the soaked rice into the pot and started to cook. Meanwhile, she was stewing porridge in the large pot. Qin Suyun also took out two large pieces of pork from the refrigerator that she had just bought yesterday morning, chopped them up and put them into the porridge. She also took out a box of eggs she had bought a few days ago and put them into the pot.
These eggs were originally bought a few days ago for Hei Dou and the others to eat. I bought a large box at one time. A standard box of eggs contains 500 eggs, but now there are only about 200 left.
Although the pot at home is big, it can only cook about seventy or eighty eggs in one pot.
Qin Suyun put all these things in the pot to cook. During this time, she busied herself with cleaning up the room that had not been cleaned up yesterday.
By the time all the food was ready, it was almost seven o'clock and time for breakfast.
Qin Suyun took out the dog food and cat cans that she had stored at home and fed them to the furry children. She ate a little herself and then walked towards the village with a large bucket full of more than 200 eggs, walking carefully on the ruined road covered with hail.
As soon as Qin Suyun arrived at the village, she saw many villagers coming out of the homes of several nearby villagers.
Because of the hail, everyone hid in the two houses closest to the shed. Later, the hail was so heavy that they couldn't leave the two houses.
It was not until the hail stopped that everyone went out to check the situation. Unfortunately, the shed that had been built had already been reduced to ashes in the hail. Everyone was also worried that there would be more hail and did not dare to live in such a shed.
After all, this hailstorm not only destroyed the previous sheds, but also destroyed many wooden houses that survived the earthquake. The roofs made of wooden boards were full of big holes smashed by hail.
As for some wooden houses that had not collapsed yet, big holes were smashed in them by the hail. Qin Suyun walked along and looked at the scenery around her. She always felt that her luck was pretty good. The glass house in her home was in much better condition than these wooden houses.
Just not seeing each other for one night.
Village chief Zhao Xingguo looked obviously more haggard than when I saw him yesterday.
As soon as the village chief saw Qin Suyun carrying a large bucket of eggs, he immediately asked someone to help carry it into the house.
Qin Suyun didn't refuse and handed over the bucket full of eggs. "These are the only eggs I have. Village chief, please have them distributed first. I also cooked a few pots of porridge and will bring them over later. I think there are a few things left, so I may need to cook something else."
"Then I'll have someone go with you to help you carry it. A girl like you can't carry such a heavy thing. Jinsheng, Yinsheng, you two take your wives and Miss Qin and go." Zhao Xingguo was actually already preparing breakfast, but he was still very happy to see the boiled eggs and meat porridge brought by Qin Suyun.
He felt that he had made the right decision last year by lobbying the villagers to let Miss Qin join their Wanxi Village! She had been a great help during the earthquake and was still helping to prepare breakfast for the village. She was truly a good neighbor and a good villager.
Village chief Zhao's two sons and daughters-in-law followed Qin Suyun. After Qin Suyun entered the door, she was worried that these four people would notice something unusual, but before Qin Suyun could make any other reaction, the Zhao Jinsheng brothers and their wives did not dare to step forward, because Hei Dou and the others had already gotten up and were standing at the gate of the yard.
The nine majestic wolfhounds were really frightening. Even Zhao Jinsheng, Zhao Yinsheng and their spouses were a little timid, especially the two brothers' wives. They had originally thought yesterday that these wolfhounds were big and mighty enough and it was great that they could help the village.
But today, when these big wolfhounds stared at them with their ears erect and their faces full of vigilance, they felt that this was simply a disaster! With such sharp teeth, wouldn't they bite off their arms directly with one bite?
As a result, the four of them didn't dare to step into Qin Suyun's courtyard. Zhao Jinsheng laughed dryly and shouted behind Qin Suyun, "Miss Qin, the four of us will wait here at the door. When the time comes, you take out the porridge and we'll carry it over."
"Okay. You just wait for me at the door. Dahei, you guys, please don't bite anyone casually!" Seeing that the four men were too scared to walk into her yard, Qin Suyun felt relieved. She touched Dahei's head. She knew that Dahei and the others would not bite anyone casually, but in order to reassure the four men at the door, she still pretended to give them a few words of advice.
Four large pots of hot porridge had just been cooked, and even the lids had not been opened yet. The jade dew that had been prepared earlier had been placed in the water before the porridge was cooked, and then poured into the pot, so she didn't need to open the lids first and then mix it.
The four large pots of meat porridge looked like a lot and were very heavy to carry, but for Zhao Jinsheng and his wife, there was no problem for each of them to carry one pot. Qin Suyun also took two bags of pickles from home and went out with them.
After instructing the furry children at home to take good care of the house, Qin Suyun took Dahei, locked the gate, and followed the four people in front.
"Little girl, the porridge you cooked tastes so good, much better than the one my wife cooked. After drinking it, I feel lazy all over and refreshed!" An old man who was about sixty or seventy years old looked at Qin Suyun with a smile and gave her a thumbs up.
The old man felt that after drinking this bowl of hot porridge, his cold body was injected with new energy.
"Uncle, I'm glad you like it." Qin Suyun saw that there was still porridge in the pot, so she poured another spoonful for the old man and said with a smile. It seems that the jade dew she added to the porridge was still very useful.
In the morning, a big bowl of hot meat porridge seemed to warm everyone's pain caused by the earthquake and hail yesterday. Everyone felt that even their originally depressed spirits seemed to have improved.
The porridge cooked by Qin Suyun tasted good. The village chief asked someone and Qin Suyun to distribute it equally to all the people in the village. He also took out the eggs cooked by Qin Suyun and handed them to the villagers.
As for those who have not eaten enough, let them wait for the next meal.
