Chapter 53: Who can I ask for help?
"Finally, I hope all the survivors can reach the destination alive..."
After hearing the news from City A, Xiang Yu turned the button, changing more than a dozen channels before switching to City K.
Thinking about the information he just heard, Xiangnan probably killed people and robbed supplies because he heard the news from the announcer.
Maybe it was because she was in K City, so the message on the radio sounded very clear, without any noise.
The background music of K City Channel was very soothing and relaxing, but Xiang Yu felt like he was about to freeze to death as he squatted on the roof, so he couldn't enjoy it.
The news should have been broadcast for a while and is now coming to an end.
"This is the Yangfanshan Shelter in K City. Survivors of K City, please take note. If you are still alive, no matter where you are, please find a way to get to Yangfanshan."
"In addition, another piece of news is being reported. The third rescue team is also heading to the suburbs of Yanshui Town."
"They encountered an avalanche and can no longer be contacted. Residents of Yanshui Town who have received the news please note that the rescue team was killed to the west of Yanshui Town."
"It's a place called Baiyun Mountain. Please take protective measures when you go to rescue. Remember..."
"Yanshui Town..." Xiang Yu murmured these three words in a low voice. Yanshui Town is just southwest of Xiangjia Village.
If you drive there by snowmobile, it will probably take an hour and a half, and that's at full speed.
After turning off the radio, Xiang Yu heard intermittent talking coming from next door, and there were quite a few people.
Xiang Yu stood up and stretched her frozen hands and feet, then went down from the roof. The warm room helped her to gradually recover her lost body temperature.
Two stoves were burning brightly in the small room, and the dried goods roasted on the fire tray could already be put away.
While cleaning up, Xiang Yu grabbed a dried mango and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste made her mouth secrete saliva.
He selected several more dried goods and put them on the fire tray to roast. Xiang Yu sat by the stove, eating while roasting by the fire.
The woolen gloves on my hands were made of leftover cloth, but because I did so much rough and heavy work, the gloves had become threadbare.
Peeling pine nuts in his hands, Xiang Yu listened to the noise coming from next door.
"Xiaoyi, is your dad home? I came to visit and chat with your dad. He and I have been friends for many years. I held you in my arms when you were a child."
"Yes, I held you in my arms before. In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big and so tall. You are much more promising than that brat in my family."
"Yes, Xiaoyi, why don't you invite the uncles in to sit down? It's quite cold standing here," several people stood in front of the great-grandmother's house, and looked inside through the crack in Xiang Yi's open door with curiosity.
Even though they deliberately turned up the volume, Uncle Xiang who was sitting in the room pretended not to hear and did not come out to greet them.
"My dear uncles, my father is not feeling well. I'm afraid he can't come out to chat with you. He has trouble even getting out of bed."
Xiang Yi used the speech he had prepared in advance and blocked the door to prevent them from entering.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly get sick? I happen to have some herbs at home. Let me go in and see your father."
One person pretended to push Xiang Yi in, but Xiang Yi held his hands against the door and refused to let go. No one knew that Xiang Ling was standing behind the door, trembling.
They could only see Xiang Yi standing here alone through the crack in the door. Seeing that they couldn't push the door open, they gave up.
But his gaze would still look towards the yard from time to time.
"Uncle, I have some herbs at home, and I will take good care of my dad. You guys should go back. The weather is very cold, so don't hang around outside."
Xiang Yi said this and was about to close the door.
"Wait," the middle-aged man put one hand on the door panel, looked at Xiang Yi without giving up, and finally told him the purpose of this trip.
"Xiang Yi, we are all neighbors. When your fellow villagers are in trouble, you should not pretend you don't see it..." His face had a bitter expression.
"Yes, Xiang Yi, your parents went to the city to work, and your uncles and aunts in the village treated you and your sister very well."
The scene that Xiang Yi least wanted to see finally happened.
"Uncle, we are all from the same village. Isn't the situation the same? Every family has difficulties. Who can I ask for help?"
Xiang Yi's words were full of refusal. It was not that he didn't want to help, but that he was powerless to do anything. He could help one person, but not a group of people.
Their family has limited food, and it is difficult for them to survive.
Moreover, their family has developed the habit of listening to the radio, which says that the temperature will continue to drop in March.
And this is just the beginning.
It was just the beginning, but their family’s food could only last for more than a year.
If we use it to help everyone, they won't be able to last even three months.
"Xiao Yi, you can't say that. Do you want to watch everyone die?" A compliment was put directly on Xiang Yi's head.
Xiang Yi was speechless for a moment, "Uncle, I won't see you off..."
Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, several people stood outside the courtyard with gloomy faces. After a few seconds of silence, one of them shouted, "Go!"
