The three old men were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by the banging on the door. When they opened their eyes, they were still drowsy and their minds were still unclear. They thought it was a neighbor knocking on the door or a bad guy trying to get in.
It took me a while to realize that it was the door of my house, and I heard the voices of An Jingzhi and Xin Ruoyao again.
"Mom and Dad, get up and get dressed! Open the door!"
Xin Ruoyao placed the generator in the living room and connected the electrical appliances. She felt relieved only after she saw Xin Fenlan and the other two got up and opened the door and found that they were fine.
An Jingzhi brought the old man and his wife, who were dressed, to the living room.
The whole family put on their thickest clothes and huddled together under quilts.
"The temperature should be dropping. In my dream, it should be a month later." An Jingzhi said with a serious face.
"No wonder it's so cold!" Old Man An shuddered.
"We have to wake people up! There are so many households in the corridor, and they probably haven't reacted yet. At least we have to remind Xiao Li across the street and Lao Dao downstairs." Tang Dan said anxiously.
Although those people were shameless, Tang Dan couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and watched them freeze to death.
"I'll go." Xin Ruoyao immediately stood up and knocked on the doors of every household.
She also recorded the sound using the speaker she bought and played it on a loop in the corridor.
"It's getting colder, everyone, get up!"
"It's getting colder, everyone, get up!"
She felt that she had done her best, and whether those people could survive depended on themselves.
We kept searching for supplies during the day, and everyone slept soundly at night.
After hearing the noise outside, everyone woke up in a daze.
After waking up, Mr. Dao immediately tried to wake up his wife, but no matter how he called, she kept her eyes closed and showed no sign of waking up.
"Old woman, wake up!"
"Old woman!" he cried, shaking her.
Several grandchildren and sons gathered around her, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"grandmother!"
"Hurry upstairs and call Xiao Xin!" Old Master Dao said to Dao Qingmin without hesitation.
After hearing this, Dao Qingmin quickly turned around and ran to An Jingzhi's door and knocked.
An Jingzhi opened the door and listened to his purpose.
"Mom and Dad, you guys stay home and watch over me. I'll go see Grandma Fang." Although more than ten years have passed, Xin Ruoyao still vaguely remembers Grandma Fang's enthusiasm.
Grandma Fang doesn't look kind and is a bit of a gossip, but when her family moved in, it was Grandma Fang who enthusiastically helped them get familiar with the environment and introduced them to the neighbors.
They went out together and heard sounds in the corridor. They knew that everyone should be awake. They put away the loudspeaker in the corridor and watched the three old men close the door before going out with An Jingzhi.
In fact, not only the people in this building woke up, but also the people in several nearby buildings woke up one after another.
When they arrived at the Dao family, as soon as Xin Ruoyao arrived, the Dao family members immediately made way for her.
Even though I was wearing self-heating thermal underwear and the thickest down jacket, I still felt a little cold.
Xin Ruoyao said hurriedly: "Hurry up and light a fire to keep the room warm."
The Dao family immediately chopped up the furniture and started burning it without caring about anything.
The electricity had long been gone, a little power here and there, but now even the lights couldn't be turned on, and the only light we had was an old-fashioned flashlight and the backlight of our cell phone.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and Grandma Fang, who was barely saved by Xin Ruoyao with first aid, also opened her eyes weakly.
There was a warm thermos under her feet and a heat pack on her body. Her body temperature gradually rose and she swallowed a few mouthfuls of ginger soup in a daze.
"What's wrong with me?" Her voice was dry.
Old Master Dao wiped the corners of his moist eyes, still feeling frightened, "Old woman, you scared me to death. I almost thought you would never come back."
"Thanks to Xiao Xin, who gave you medicine and kept you warm, I was able to save you."
"Grandma Fang is too weak, and now the weather has suddenly dropped in temperature. She must maintain nutrition and maintain temperature."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Thank you, Xiao Xin, for this time."
Old Master Dao gave Dao Qingmin a look, and Dao Qingmin nodded in understanding and turned around to bring a plastic bag of noodles.
"These are the only valuable things in the house. Please don't despise them, Xiao Xin."
Xin Ruoyao couldn't refuse, so she accepted it.
After returning home, the family discussed it and felt that the Dao family had both old and young people, and there were many people in the family, so there probably wasn't much to eat, and now there was also a weak person.
We also sent over some vegetables that they had grown themselves using nutrient solution.
Mr. Dao was very happy: "Oh, you actually have vegetables at home? I haven't seen green leaves for a long time. I've eaten all the green beans."
"I grew it myself using nutrient solution." Xin Ruoyao said.
"Okay, then I'll shamelessly accept it."
…
The temperature outside was dropping inch by inch. It was originally raining, but after three days it turned into hail, hitting the ground with a crackling sound.
Those who had caught a cold and went out in the rain to look for supplies now dare not go out.
If the rain falls on your head, it's no big deal as long as you take waterproof measures. But if you are hit by hail, or even icicles, a bruise on your head would be the least of your worries.
"Come here, old lady. Cook the vegetables from Xiao Xin's house with these noodles. They'll be perfect for you. Your health is too poor. You need to get better soon."
Now there is no flour at home even for the children to eat, and all the flour goes to Grandma Fang.
"Give some to the children too," Grandma Fang refused. "I'm half buried in the earth, why should I eat so much?"
