"What?" The doorman was puzzled. "You want to call the police?"
He was just a gatekeeper. Why did he call the police when he let them in out of pity?
Seeing his puzzled look, Jiang Manyue quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting you."
Fortunately, there was a public telephone in the guesthouse, so she immediately called the police station in the provincial capital.
"Hello, I want to call the police. The road from the provincial capital to Fenyang Town is icy."
"It may cause landslides to block roads, and the heavy snow is very dangerous and poses a safety hazard."
"You have to believe me when I say that the extreme cold weather that occurs once every ten years is extremely dangerous."
“…”
Jiang Manyue said a lot on the phone, and Qin Zhenbei looked at her anxious expression.
Wang Baozhu was still puzzled: "Why does my sister know about the extremely cold weather that happens once every ten years?"
"I don't know why, but I always feel like she knows a lot of things that we don't."
After calling the police, it sounded like the person on the other end didn't care much.
Because the weather forecast today is just ordinary heavy snow, people naturally don’t take things that haven’t happened seriously.
"Huh!" After hanging up the phone, Jiang Manyue sighed helplessly.
After all, I am not a government department, and it is certainly difficult to order the police with just my mouth.
I can only say that I have tried my best. I can't tell everyone that I already knew what was going to happen.
Because they couldn't go home on time, Jiang Manyue called her parents first to tell them what had happened.
Then I told my uncle and aunt that I couldn’t go home for the time being and asked them not to worry that I was safe.
The food and supplies in the car were moved into the room first. The snowstorm would last at least seven days.
Fortunately, they bought a lot of New Year's goods and food when they got on the bus, so the three of them had no problem eating for a few days.
We booked two rooms, but it was a pity that there was no boiling water in the furnace room.
The weather was so cold that the room without a fire was as cold as an ice cellar.
"Here!" The old man came over with a basin. "I saved some charcoal from the New Year holiday."
"It's cold, and we don't know when this snowstorm will stop. Let's light a fire and keep warm."
Wang Baozhu gratefully accepted the charcoal basin and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Jiang Manyue found a basin and gave half of the coal to Qin Zhenbei.
"Full moon!" Qin Zhenbei looked at the white expanse of the window and the roof. "How long will this blizzard last?"
"Seven days!" She blurted out without thinking.
He looked at her in surprise: "Why do you know so much?"
"Why didn't you tell me when we were leaving? Did you just remember it while we were on the way?"
"And how did you know about the landslide? Where did you get this information from?"
Jiang Manyue was so confused by this series of questions that she didn't know how to answer.
Damn it! He was beginning to doubt.
After all, her attitude was so confident, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Jiang Manyue responded calmly to his doubts.
"Yes, I did see it on the road. This kind of stormy weather is not suitable for travel."
"Seven days was just something I said casually. I like to listen to the weather forecast when I have nothing to do, so I guessed it."
"And as you can see, our tires are all icy and very dangerous."
Qin Zhenbei, such a smart person, naturally would not believe it, after all, he had heard the weather forecast.
Maybe women are really more careful than men, and she has always been cautious.
"Yeah, I see!" He softened his attitude: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
The weather was very cold, so we simply distributed the food we brought in the evening.
Wang Baozhu took out all her things and had to put on the cotton-padded clothes she brought for her parents first.
"Sister, we have peach cakes, biscuits, malted milk, fruits and some prepared food here."
"There's no canteen in this guesthouse, but these should last us four or five days."
"When the snow and wind die down, we can set off again."
Jiang Manyue picked up the biscuits and ate some, then made a cup of malted milk.
The warmth drove away the cold. Fortunately, I brought a lot of things with me when I went out, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
There was a rustling sound coming from the tape recorder in the room, playing the weather forecast.
"The latest weather forecast says that cold air from the northwest will arrive at 8:00 this morning."
"This storm is severe, long-lasting and comes with freezing hazards."
"We urge citizens to keep warm and those driving outside to pay attention to safety."
“…”
The three people were eating when suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door.
'Bang, bang, bang!'
The sound did not come from the room, but from the door of the guesthouse.
The gatekeeper went to open the door and was greeted by a biting snowstorm.
There were two men standing at the door, their faces were pale and they seemed to be frozen to death.
"Uncle, our car broke down on the way, and we have no choice but to stay here for one night."
At the gate, there was a large army green truck carrying goods, with the words "Fenyang Town Coal Yard" printed on the body of the truck.
Jiang Manyue heard the noise, opened the door and looked towards the entrance.
The man immediately shouted when he saw her: "Xiao Jiang, it's you, why are you here too?"
The tall middle-aged man greeted her: "You forgot, I'm a coal yard driver."
"My wife lives upstairs from your uncle's house. We've met many times before."
"Uncle Qian?" Wang Baozhu recognized him. "Sister, Uncle Qian is Liuzi's mother's husband!"
It turned out to be a neighbor who was probably stuck while transporting goods back to town before the New Year.
