Chapter 66 Indoor temperature, minus ten degrees
The old Taoist priest walked over slowly, glanced at the crack in the window, and let out a soft sigh.
"It's okay. Just punch a few holes in the wall for ventilation."
Mu Qianqian was a little hesitant to speak after hearing this.
Are you so bold?
I wanted to refute, but when I opened my mouth, I didn't know what to say.
This is indeed a good method when there is no better solution.
However, this time, the old Taoist priest did not use the sledgehammer directly. Instead, he found a thick crowbar and pressed it against the wall. Then he smashed it with the sledgehammer, making holes in the wall one after another.
After smashing five or six, the old Taoist priest stopped and said to Zhou Ziyang and Mu Qianqian, "When you have nothing to do, come over with a hammer and a crowbar to clear it out, so that it won't be blocked by ice and snow."
Zhou Ziyang and Mu Qianqian nodded at the same time after hearing this, "We will, Taoist Priest, don't worry!"
The old Taoist priest laughed, "We have food and drink, and now we have something to keep warm. Why should I worry?"
Without waiting for Zhou Ziyang and Mu Qianqian to respond, the old Taoist priest spoke again.
"It must be very cold in the bedroom. What I mean is, let's move the bed out and live in the living room. As for privacy, we can hang curtains or take down the bedroom curtains.
Of course, if you don’t want to, that’s fine too.”
"willing!"
Mu Qianqian hurriedly said, "Master, of course we are willing! Just do as you say!"
Convenience or not, privacy or not, are all insignificant when it comes to survival.
Now that they had discussed it, the three of them immediately took action.
First, all the cold-resistant supplies in the living room were moved into the master bedroom, and then Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang's beds were carried out and placed next to the big stove.
The old Taoist priest has always lived in the master bedroom, which also has a big bed. However, the bed is too big and takes up too much space in the living room. So the old Taoist priest decided to sleep in the folding single bed at home.
That bed is definitely not as spacious as a big bed, but it is more convenient. It can be placed closer to the big pot and it can be warmer.
Mu Qianqian was a little embarrassed at first, but the old Taoist priest was firm and did not allow any arguments. It was indeed warm enough to sleep next to the big pot, so Mu Qianqian went back behind the curtain.
After all this trouble, it was almost twelve o'clock.
I didn’t feel it when I was busy, but now that I’m free, I’m starting to feel sleepy.
Sitting on the bed, Mu Qianqian didn't feel warm.
Even when I touched the quilt, I still felt cold.
After feeling it carefully, Mu Qianqian said to Zhou Ziyang uncertainly, "Do you feel that it is colder than when the big pot was not lit just now?"
Zhou Ziyang looked at Mu Qianqian in surprise, but soon his expression turned into relief.
"I originally thought I was overthinking it, and you think the same as me, so it seems that the temperature has indeed dropped again."
When he said the last few words, Zhou Ziyang's voice became much heavier.
It was already cold enough before, and finally we had a big stove, thinking it would be warmer, but we didn't expect the temperature to keep dropping.
It was confirmed that the temperature had dropped, so it was impossible for the two of them to sleep.
Zhou Ziyang stood up and opened the curtain, and said to the old Taoist priest outside, "Master, it seems that the temperature has dropped again. It is better not to sleep in this situation, otherwise it will be too easy to have an accident."
The old Taoist priest had already lay down, but his eyes were still open. After hearing Zhou Ziyang's words, he slowly sat up.
"In that case, let's get on with the work! I still have quite a few quilts and sheets, as well as blankets and other things. Let's first enclose the living room and hang them on the wall to make the space a little smaller and gather some heat."
This was for the sake of their lives, so Zhou Ziyang and Mu Qianqian certainly had no objection, and the three of them immediately got busy.
Even though it was already early in the morning and they were feeling sleepy, the three of them were still full of energy.
The three of them were a little busy, but compared to most people, they were still lucky.
At least they have a big pot with plenty of fuel. There is hot water in the pot so they can drink from time to time and cook something to eat when they are hungry.
I was a little busy and had no time to sleep, but my life safety was still guaranteed.
But there are many people who have already found their thickest clothes to wear since the temperature started to drop, and some even wrapped themselves in quilts, but they are still shivering from the cold.
There was no food, and almost everything that could be cooked at home had been burned up. There was no way to keep warm, and we were cold and hungry.
Not to mention sleeping, people are almost frozen to death.
Some people couldn't stand the cold and tried their best to demolish their homes and set fire to everything that could be burned in the house just to keep warm.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
After dawn, the end of the world officially began.
A night passed, and at half past six in the morning, Nan Ci slowly opened his eyes.
Nan Ci, who had just woken up, was full of energy.
The extreme cold has always been a huge rock pressing on Nan Ci's heart, preventing her from relaxing at any time.
Now the extreme cold has arrived early, which has changed the trajectory of the previous life, but it has also eliminated this huge rock in advance.
Without this invisible pressure, Nan Ci sleeps better.
After staring at the silver-gray ceiling for a while, Nan Ci decided to turn over and sit up.
But she wanted to move, but her body couldn't.
It was only at this time that Nan Ci noticed that the four cats had already slept on her bed and were now pressing on the quilt.
Because of their pressure, Nan Ci was unable to sit up successfully.
Looking at the four cats sleeping soundly, Nan Ci could only use one hand to gently scratch their bodies.
"You guys sleep in the bed. There's an electric blanket inside. It will be more comfortable. Let me get up."
The four cats stretched and yawned with their eyes closed. After a minute of tossing and turning, they finally opened their eyes.
They did not listen to Nan Ci and go to bed, but got out of bed with Nan Ci.
This time, Nan Ci did not go into the space to wash up.
There was a large stove and a fireplace in the room, but the temperature was not very high.
The moment he came out of bed, Nan Ci felt the coolness.
Looking at the room temperature meter hanging on the wall, it clearly shows that the room temperature is minus ten degrees Celsius.
Looking at this number, Nan Ci could only say it was outrageous.
In his previous life, Nan Ci also lived in extreme cold for a long time, but at that time he only felt cold and was thinking about how to survive. He never thought about how many degrees below zero the temperature was.
But now it's different.
Now that I can see this number clearly and intuitively, I am quite shocked.
The house is well insulated and has heating equipment, but it's still minus ten degrees Celsius inside. How many degrees is it below zero outside now?
