Going Out (Part 2)
If they have time, they can see if they can use the bricks that collapsed before to completely separate the front yard and the back yard. From now on, to go to the back yard, they can only go through the small door of the house.
As she was about to go out, her grandparents had no way to ask more questions. When she came back, they should have digested the matter. Jiang Tian dropped this bomb directly on her grandparents.
She even dragged Jiang Da out and asked him to explain to his grandparents. Before leaving, she saw how weak and pitiful little Jiang Da looked in front of his grandparents.
When the door was finally closed, Jiang Tian secretly glanced at Jiang Da, who was surrounded by his grandparents, who seemed to want him to tell the whole story.
"Hehe." Jiang Tian left with a smile. It was his own fault that the boy had warned him so many times before, but it hadn't lasted more than ten minutes and started talking in human language in front of his grandfather. If he didn't teach it a lesson, it wouldn't learn its lesson.
This time it’s my grandparents, but what about next time? If it’s someone with bad intentions, they’ll all be doomed.
Jiang Tian, walking on the street, would definitely not admit that she was trying to shirk responsibility. She was not afraid of her grandparents' nagging.
(Jiang Da: Then come and listen!!!)
Walking on the road, Jiang Tian thought that he should buy some more seeds so that he could upgrade faster. You know, one new seed is worth 10 points, and he needs to grow 100 garlic plants.
"Oh, system, I wish I had a space." On the way to the village entrance, Jiang Tian began to dream. If she had a space, she could store a lot of things and wouldn't have to worry about the future.
[As long as the host works hard to upgrade, there will be a chance. ]
Jiang Tian was still fantasizing about what he would put in the space once he had it.
Who among those who have read apocalyptic novels has not fantasized about having an heirloom, knowing the news in advance when the apocalypse comes, swearing ownership by dripping blood, and then working hard to stock up on it?
Suddenly startled by the system's mechanical voice, she became angry. She had clearly told the system before that it could not read her thoughts, and the system had also explained.
What is going on in this situation now? She clearly didn't call the system.
"I clearly didn't call you, you read my thoughts again?"
When the system heard Jiang Tian's question, even the originally emotionless voice could be heard to have a hint of grievance.
【Think again about what you just said. 】
Thinking back carefully, he seemed to have just called the system. Jiang Tian felt very embarrassed. "I'm sorry. Hey, why do I feel that you are getting more and more emotional?"
After thinking about it, the system seemed to be becoming more and more emotional, and its voice was no longer as cold as it was at the beginning.
[As I follow the host for a longer time, I will have more and more ideas of my own.]
Hearing this, Jiang Tian was very happy, "Does that mean I'll have another friend in the future, one with a lot of secrets?"
I guess so...
Even though the system spoke perfunctorily, Jiang Tian didn't care. The problem was solved. Her mind was now full of the possibility that she could still get the space. It was really great, a dream come true.
Jiang Tian's steps became lighter, and he walked towards the village entrance excitedly.
But as she walked, she was no longer happy. The roadside was deserted. Or not deserted, but dead silent, even worse than the coldest time of winter.
There was no energy at all. After staying at home for two days, and going out at night, Jiang Tian seemed to have returned to reality from a dream.
Looking at the situation outside, I don’t know how many places are experiencing random rain. I hope the area is smaller.
When I got there, I found that many people had already arrived, and they all looked sad.
She knew that she would be asked all sorts of questions when she got there, so she took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and then slowly walked over.
Before she reached the village chief, someone saw her and asked, "Tiantian is back too?" The tone was a little surprised. No one knew that she had returned home. She was also at home during the Qingming Festival.
"Yes, I came back to cook something for my family." Jiang Tian didn't smile when he said this, but it didn't seem out of place at this time.
Everyone's face is filled with bitterness, and anyone who can laugh at this time has a problem.
After Jiang Tian said this, no one said anything else. Everyone knew that she was the only one left in her family. Her parents and relatives had all passed away, leaving only her.
Seeing Jiang Tian walk to the village chief, the aunt who had just spoken and the people next to him said, "This child is really pitiful. It seems that he has come out of it. It's not easy."
Jiang Tian naturally didn't know that Auntie Ahua was sympathizing with her behind her back. She went straight to the village chief and asked, "Uncle, how do I write the certificate and how do I buy the things when the time comes?"
The village chief looked at the time and then at the number of people coming, which was quite a lot.
Standing under a tree with only a dead branch left, he coughed twice and said, "Everyone is almost here now. Let me tell you about this certificate. It's similar to the old letter of introduction. Even if you haven't experienced it, you should have heard of it. It contains some of your identity information, as well as the time and place of departure."
"We can understand the identity information, but are the time and place really fixed?" Some people questioned, and others echoed.
"Yeah, then, village chief, from now on, no one can go out. Is this a joke?"
"If I want to buy something, I have to apply for it every day."
As they talked, a lot of people's resentment came out. At that time, everyone thought that only their side had suffered a disaster and other places were fine. They felt that they were already so miserable, and yet they still had to be controlled so strictly.
"Everyone, please listen to me first." The village chief pressed his hand down, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to him.
"There's no other way. The whole county is like this right now. There's no signal. If you go out and something happens, there's no one to look for you. This is also to protect everyone."
He watched as the complaints on everyone's faces eased before continuing, "As for the time and place, the time is fixed. Everyone should keep an eye on it. Even though there's no signal on your cell phone, you can still check the time."
"As for the location, it's not a single supermarket or other place. If you go out to buy things, you definitely have to go to several places. But there will be regional divisions. That is, if it says our Changning County, then you can only move around in this county and cannot go to other counties."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to warn everyone, "This is not a joke. If you run around, someone will find you. If you get caught, don't look for me."
After explaining everything clearly, he began to write travel certificates for everyone one by one. He announced on the radio yesterday that they needed to bring their ID cards and household registration books, and only one person could be included in each household registration book.
You should show your ID card to staff when you meet them outside.
Because Jiang Tian lived relatively close to the village chief and had prepared her things well, she quickly got her travel certificate and carefully kept her things close to her body.
Then I watched as the village chief issued certificates to other people.
Sure enough, there was a household with two or three people coming, but they were all driven away by the village chief, who told them that if it happened again, no one would be allowed to leave their house for three days.
The punishment was very severe at this time, and several people went back in disgrace.
Soon it was eight o'clock, and the village chief counted a few people in front. Everyone got on several electric tricycles. There were not many things in the countryside, except for these electric tricycles, which almost every household had.
Even Jiang Tian's family has one. It was bought by Grandpa Jiang when he was still alive. He said it was convenient for going out, so he always rode his bike to pick Jiang Tian up from school.
Jiang Tian sat at the very edge, listening quietly to the aunts and sisters-in-law in the car talking.
The ratio of men to women this time was basically half and half, but they were all flexible people in their families. It seemed that everyone was told to act according to circumstances.
"I think it's the rain that's to blame," a sister-in-law said mysteriously. Seeing everyone looking over, she continued, "Think about it, everything was fine before. It was only after the rain stopped that the crops we planted started to rot."
"Yeah, I haven't dared to go out these past few days. It's really scary outside. My husband was thinking about going to the fields to replant, but luckily the village chief notified everyone in time and told them not to go out, so he finally stopped."
Jiang Tian listened and nodded secretly. That was the case. If it hadn't been for the system first and then the notification from the village chief, she would probably have gone out to take a look.
I couldn't help but think of my grandparents' village. At times like this, it all depends on which village chief is in charge. Anyone who is more careful can find something wrong and will stop everyone from going out with a sense of responsibility. To be honest, replanting won't cost a day or two.
Plus, all the signals disappeared, and it didn’t seem right.
"Yeah, how could it rain like this before and after the Qingming Festival? It was so heavy, and the thunder was so scary."
"Don't tell me, it's true."
"Did you see the lightning that night? It lit up my whole house instantly. It was really scary."
…
The whole journey was spent chatting with these aunts and sisters-in-law. Jiang Tian also learned a lot of things that he had not noticed before, but what he learned more was the gossip of the east family and the strengths and weaknesses of the west family.
"We're finally here." An aunt got off the car first, but she didn't say a word after getting off. The tricycle they were riding was specially used for people to ride, and it had a carport. Except for the person driving the car, no one else could see outside unless they looked outside specifically.
After watching the others get off, Jiang Tian stopped talking and got out of the car as well, and was immediately stunned.
She didn't expect that the county town was even worse than the village.
Before coming, Jiang Tian thought that perhaps the village was the worst hit by the disaster, while other places were fine, although this idea disappeared after she visited her grandparents.
But the county is farther away from the village, so maybe it would be better. Unexpectedly, the county town looks even worse.
The moat looks like a stagnant water, and all the trees on the roadside are dead. The county town that looked prosperous in the past now looks like a dead city if there were not some staff members inside.
