Chapter 66: The temperature warms up, and we go up the mountain
In her previous life, she had seen off many people, including friends, partners who had fought alongside her, and even herself in the end.
The sound of firecrackers crackled in his ears, and some debris hit the back of his hand, but Xiang Yu didn't feel any pain at all.
In just a few dozen seconds, a string of firecrackers was set off. Xiang Yu walked into the living room with a muffled voice. The old man had already closed his eyes at this time.
Leaning quietly on the sofa, as if fallen asleep.
Xiang Yu moved much more gently for fear of waking the old man.
A lot of firewood was moved out of the room, Xiang Yu built up the fire bit by bit, and finally put the old man's body on it.
The mountains were filled with hungry wolves, tigers and leopards, so Xiang Yu planned to cremate the old man before burying him.
Also burned into the fire were the family portrait of my great-grandmother and some of the items she particularly loved during her lifetime.
Xiang Yu collected the old man's ashes and buried them on the back mountain not far from home. What the great-grandmother said was right. In the next few years, living was really a suffering.
In such a big village, she is the only one left now, and there is no one living within a radius of ten miles.
A month later, the temperature rose directly to three degrees. When Xiang Yu woke up and saw the numbers on the thermometer, he did not look surprised, and even showed a hint of panic.
He quickly got up from the bed, opened the iron gate and walked out. He saw a naturally formed small ditch on the mountain with water flowing down the mountain.
The snow has melted quietly, revealing the entire village, with only a little snow left on some roofs and mountain tops.
The snow water flowed to the lower place, and two small ditches had formed on both sides of the cement path at the entrance.
The snow water was flowing. Although I was only wearing a cotton coat, I didn't feel cold, and it was even a little hot.
Looking towards the entrance of the village, Xiang Yu saw that the fields below had been filled with snow water, and the water level was still rising little by little.
Xiang Yu went into the house, washed and dressed, then walked towards the village entrance. The terrain here was very high, and the ditch where the snow water flowed seemed to be heading towards the town.
Some low fields were also submerged by snow and water, and several houses below the village were also half submerged. Snow water from the mountain was still flowing down.
The most important thing is the reservoir on the back mountain.
It won’t take long for the water inside to burst out, and the dam won’t be able to hold out for long.
If the water from the reservoir were to burst out, Xiangjia Village would probably be affected, and the only option would be to go up the mountain.
After lunch, Xiang Yu went to the back mountain. The dam in front of the reservoir had not been repaired for a long time.
Water has seeped out of some of the soil and cracks have begun to appear in the cement. This dam that blocks the water was originally very solid.
But now there is a heavy snowfall, the water level inside has soared, and some of the snow water from the mountain has gathered inside, so collapse is only a matter of time.
Fortunately, the temperature has warmed up now and it is not that cold.
Xiang Yu returned home and started packing her things, but then she thought again, this was where she and her grandparents had lived for more than ten years.
It would be a pity to leave it here to be washed away by the flood, so it would be better to put it in the space. Xiang Yu put down the things he was packing.
After walking around the house and having a rough idea of its shape in my mind, I stood in front of the door and put the house into the space.
The house flickered in front of Xiang Yu's eyes like a mosaic, and finally disappeared completely. Xiang Yu looked at the flat ground.
All that remains is the foundation.
When the water from the reservoir flushes down, these traces will eventually be washed away.
Xiang Yu took out the RV and drove up the mountain along the cement road behind the mountain.
A farmer on the mountain planted many bayberry trees, and they paid for the construction of a cement road leading to the top of the mountain.
In previous years, when bayberries were ripe, people from towns and cities would hear the news and come here to pick them.
The last time the rescue team came, their family followed the team to the shelter, which has been vacant for more than three months now.
Half an hour later, Xiang Yu finally arrived at the bayberry forest. They took good care of the trees here, even when the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero.
They also did not allow the villagers to cut down the trees and burn them for heating. At a glance, the entire mountain was covered with bare bayberry tree trunks.
After entering the bayberry forest, a barbed wire fence appeared in front of the cement road, completely blocking the road. Xiang Yu had to get out of the car to check.
He took out a pair of pliers and broke the big lock on the barbed wire, then Xiang Yucai opened the iron gate and drove the RV up along the winding mountain road.
Until you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a two-story villa standing in the bayberry forest, with a well-built parking lot next to it.
There was even a toll checkpoint. Xiang Yu got out of the car, destroyed the toll barrier, and parked the RV directly inside.
There was still some snow on the top of the mountain, but in just a short while, the temperature had warmed up to eight degrees.
Xiang Yu glanced at the temperature gauge on the RV and took out a few solar panels from the space.
If these solar panels are installed, you won’t have to worry about electricity consumption in the RV in the future.
Xiang Yu opened the elevator, stood on the top of the RV and began to install solar panels.
