In the past, Tang Xiaoquan might have been tempted, but now Huo Yuankai was his savior. It would be unsatisfactory if he continued to be cunning at this juncture.
So after weighing the left and right, Tang Xiaoquan thought of a compromise.
What can I do? drag! !
"Brother Huo, Hua Zi is right. It's useless for you to worry about this matter. It will happen when it should happen, but boy, we have clues now, which is much better than wandering around in the street without a clue. I think Let's do this. After your son is rescued, we will raise supplies and go to this place to meet the children. What do you think?"
There is a chance of rescuing Lei Tong and Lao Xu. After a long time, Huo Yunkai can find something to do. If the guarantee is not enough, this matter can be put aside.
After all, the two children were just Huo Yuankai's students. Tang Xiaoquan felt that as long as the Huo family and his son were asked to settle down, the other party would most likely forget about the rescue.
Don't tell me, I don't know if Tang Xiaoquan's mention of his son had an effect, or if Huo Yuankai really didn't have a deep relationship with the children.
After letting out a long sigh, Huo Yuankai finally nodded and agreed to everyone's suggestions.
Seeing Huo Yuankai bow his head, Tang Xiaoquan's heart relaxed.
In order to prevent the other party from worrying too much, Tang Xiaoquan quickly changed the topic: "Well, Brother Da Zhuang, please light a fire. Today we have gained a lot. Let's make some rice and make some side dishes. After that, we can drink some wine to warm up. Haha, I don't know. No matter how much Brother Huo drinks, let’s have a few more drinks.”
While talking, Tang Xiaoquan did not forget to nuzzle Hu Xiaodong next to him.
Hu Xiaodong is such a smart person, how could he not see what Tang Xiaoquan meant?
He immediately agreed: "Well, yes, let's get some wine to calm down the shock. Let's all drink some."
Tang Xiaoquan had a weird idea to bring down Huo Yuankai by drinking, but this was the only way he could think of.
The appropriate weather seemed to have heard the arrangements of the survivors in the building. Luo Baochun stood at the window and looked out, never expecting the snowflakes to slowly fall in the sky.
Upon seeing this situation, Luo Baochun turned around and called: "Emma. It's snowing."
"Oh?" Hu Xiaodong and others turned around after hearing this, and then gathered in front of the window one after another.
"Is it really snowing?"
"Well, I hope it's not too big, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is snow on the road."
"It doesn't look like it. It's probably just flakes of snow, and it will clear up soon."
Hua Biao waved his hand carelessly, and then walked towards the kitchen, intending to help Wei Dazhuang who was making a fire inside.
"Hey, Lao Zhao. If it continues like this today, I'm worried that Lao Xu and the others won't be able to drive well!"
While the outgoing team was preparing for dinner, Wenquan Xin, who was far away at the station, was chatting with Lao Zhao and others worriedly.
Lao Zhao didn't answer. He got up and walked to the door. The heavy snow outside the house dyed the entire field of vision white.
Not long after the outgoing team left, an unprecedented blizzard came to the village.
It turned out that Lao Zhao had concluded the same as Hua Biao just now, feeling that the snowflakes would float for a while and then stop.
Unexpectedly, it took several hours to get there, but instead of showing signs of slowing down, the snow water was getting heavier and heavier.
The entire village is now covered in thick snow, and Lao Zhao has organized several snow shoveling operations during this period. But the gate, which lacked tools, ultimately lost in the competition with nature.
At present, not only the snow clearing work is suspended, but also the wall-building operation that should be carried out has to be stopped halfway.
Looking at the knee-deep snow on the road outside, Old Zhao knew that Old Xu and the others would not be able to come back for the time being.
"It's okay. There are so many people like Lao Xu and they can't go back and find a place to pay. But if we continue to develop at this rate, I don't think the snow will stop for a while. What about Weiyang? The supply of supplies has been reduced by half in the past few days. Before Lao Xu and the others send back the supplies, we are all saving some. In addition, Xiao Wen and you will follow me out in a while. We have to remove the accumulated snow on the roof to prevent the roof beams from bearing the It can’t help but collapse.”
This is definitely not an alarmist statement by Lao Zhao, let alone saying something unlucky.
As a professor from the Department of Construction Engineering, he is more qualified than anyone present to comment on the current situation.
Undoubtedly, all the houses in the village were self-built and had been abandoned for a long time when the team arrived.
Rao was a survivor who reinforced the damaged building. But if you treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if the foundation is not good, no matter how much you fix it, it will be in vain.
You said it's not a big deal if you rely on these houses to shelter from the wind and rain on weekdays, but if there is bad weather, such as this unexpected snowstorm, then...
"Sure, Uncle Zhao! I'll get the tools from Chaozi right now." After saying that, Wenquan Xin was about to take action.
Lao Zhao quickly turned around and called out to the other party: "Don't worry, dinner will be served soon, let's talk after dinner."
When it comes to eating, Lao Zhao's expression becomes more solemn.
After all, there is a lot of snow on the roof, and tools can be used to clear it, but the supplies are gone, and Old Zhao has no ability to save them.
Lao Xu left, but he entrusted more than a dozen members of his family to him. But now that things are better, the heavy snow has closed the door, and Lao Xu will definitely not be able to come back. As for him, he can't take people out to get supplies.
In the long run, food supply will really become a big problem.
I just hope that God will open his eyes and stop this heavy snow as soon as possible.
Praying sincerely, Lao Zhao had no choice.
"Come on, Brother Huo, it's full. This is your first glass of wine. Let's toast you together. In the apocalypse, it's not easy to meet each other. I'll do it first!" In order to bring down Huo Yuankai, Tang Xiaoquan did that He really worked hard, and his speaking skills were perfect.
Seeing how generous Tang Xiaoquan was, Huo Yuankai couldn't refuse, no matter how confused he was, so he could only bite the bullet and take the drink.
Hu Xiaodong and others were all aware of Tang Xiaoquan's drinking capacity.
Although he is not a drinker, he is certainly not a drinker.
So after he got his start, wine gangsters like Hu Xiaodong and Wei Dazhuang immediately followed.
After just three or five drinks, Huo Yuankai didn't have the slightest hint of drunkenness.
There is no other way to spend the night in the abandoned city, but the safety is still guarded.
If you continue to compete like this, you will end up with a "loss of both sides and huge injury" in the end.
Tang Xiaoquan didn't want an emergency to happen and all his brothers to be in bed.
If that's the case, it's really self-defeating.
"Ah, it looks like the weather outside is not right." Luo Baochun, who was feeling a little better, walked to the window and opened the curtain slightly to let in the cold wind to wake him up.
Unexpectedly, the tiny snowflakes outside turned into heavy snowfall. Even at night, the dense white snow still dyed the city translucently.
At first he didn't pay much attention to Luo Baochun's words, but with just one glance, Hua Biao stood up from his seat.
Good guy, with his move, Hu Xiaodong, Tang Xiaoquan and others, who were still eating, also stood up one after another.
When everyone gathered at the window again, the comfortable expression earlier was suddenly gone, replaced by solemnity and dignity. (To be continued.)
