The day became too sudden, and the temperature dropped too quickly. Some elderly, weak, and in poor health did not make it through, and many people froze to death. Wang Lin continued.
"Official measures will be taken soon. Distributing relief grains to workers on previous construction sites is just the beginning, and there will be more welfare policies later." Rong Xianxian said.
"I'm disgusted by what I've seen. If nothing else, there are people freezing to death and starving to death in the tent area every day, and the officials don't care." Wang Lin said unoptimistically.
"Yes, it's terrible. Sister Rong, you don't know. I just went to deliver things to the victims in the tent area who were short of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and I almost didn't get trapped there." Jiang Jie said with a look of fear on his face. .
"Me too. Those people really jumped on you. They hugged your thighs and refused to let go. They insisted on asking me to take her in. They said they were willing to do whatever they wanted." Xia Kai said with the same feeling.
"It's normal to be willing to work like a cow or a horse. There are also people who are willing to make beds and warm quilts. I went and the aunt really said it. She even touched me several times. Oh my god, I was scared to death at the time. I felt like I I was taken advantage of!" Jiang Jie had a disgusted expression on his face.
"Tent area, can the people living in the tents bear such a cold weather?" Rong Xianxian felt a little uncomfortable thinking about the coldness of the ice and snow.
"Sister Rong, although there is a tent area over there, the leaders in this safety zone are still very thoughtful. I don't know where they brought many large pieces of ice. They surrounded the entire tent area with giant ice blocks. Get up and use wooden boards, ice cubes, and plastic to cover the roof. Although it is not as tight as a house, the warmth is still good. The reason why those people can't survive is mostly due to their own health." Xia Kai said.
"In this way, the official has already taken action." Rong Xianxian smiled slightly.
"Yes, it's just that there are too many people affected by the disaster, and there are always areas that the officials cannot take care of. Especially like us, the officials will not provide any benefits to the civilian teams passing by for repairs." Jiang Jie added.
In fact, this is understandable. The civilian teams passing by have not contributed to the construction of the safety zone. After spending this winter, they will most likely not stay. The officials will naturally not consider their situation.
"How is the action of Mr. Ye's team?" Rong Xianxian asked Xia Kai, who came to inquire about this matter.
"It didn't go well. They seemed to have been attacked by monsters on the road. They didn't reach the old city at all. Some people were seriously injured. Seeing that the weather was bad, they turned back before the afternoon." Xia Kai replied.
"What are the prices in the official trading center and private trading market?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Of course the most expensive thing is food. The price of coal, cotton clothes and quilts has increased 2 to 3 times compared with before, and they are often out of stock. These in-demand goods in the private trading market are all bought by the highest price. There is no accurate price, and many people take the risk to sell out. The civilian teams looking for supplies in the safety zone are all looking for these things." Wang Lin replied.
"What did Feng Xingjia say?" Rong Xianxian asked Jiang Jie again.
"He has already taken several of his brothers away from the original team and moved into the yard we rented before. He said he is willing to be a vassal, but he must be driven." Jiang Jie replied.
"Are the stalls at the private trading market ready?" Rong Xianxian asked immediately.
"A total of four fixed stalls have been rented, and they can be sold at any time."
"Our food, cotton-padded clothes and quilts can only be exchanged for special materials, special items, and special weapons. We need to explain this to Feng Xingjia. Forget it, ask him to come over sometime and I will explain it to him." Rong Xianxian said with some worry, some things are difficult to define, it doesn't matter if you waste a little material, you would rather receive the wrong item than let it go.
The heavy snow fell for another two days. On this day, the sky cleared up. Although it was still cold and windy outside, the bright sun finally climbed above the horizon.
"Mom, look what I found, skis, let's go skiing!" Xiao Luo excitedly shouted to Rong Xianxian while holding the skis.
After holding it in the courtyard for half a month, Rong Xianxian still had no idea how to bring the natural energy of heaven and earth into her body. She happened to be in a irritable mood, so she planned to take her two children to ski.
We put on thermal underwear for the children, put on warm and lightweight ski clothes to prevent the cold, put on their hats, and went out of the yard.
Xuanxuan learned roller skating in kindergarten and quickly mastered the skills of skiing. Xiao Luo was born with an excellent sense of balance. Although he had not touched it before, he quickly got started after falling a few times. On the contrary, Rong Xianxian, I have obviously skied before, but I am not as good at it as the two children.
Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan shouted excitedly, skating very fast, turning, spinning, downhill, and even when the skis on Xiao Luo accidentally flew out, his body rolled in the air, and he stepped on it just in time when he fell. When they got to the skis, Rong Xianxian was horrified. If the snow layer hadn't been so thick that the children wouldn't be hurt even if they fell, Rong Xianxian would have stopped their mischief long ago.
Seeing the children having fun, let them go.
They originally made an appointment to play in the open space outside the yard. Soon, Xiao Luo lost interest in this venue and they wanted to play somewhere else.
Rong Xianxian looked at the sky and saw that it was not yet noon, so she promised them to go for a walk outside the safe zone after lunch.
Rong Xianxian estimated that Cui Lie was tired of staying in the courtyard, and planned to ask Cui Lie to go outside to see the situation.
At noon, I cooked a thick white porridge on the coal stove, with preserved eggs and fried minced meat in it. I took out the dried meat and dried vegetables that I had stored before, put in water and heated it to soften it, poured the sauce on it, and poured in oil and dried red pepper. Saute until fragrant, add dried meat and stir-fry.
I have been eating dried meat for half a month and I really miss the taste of fresh meat.
Go out for a walk in the afternoon and see if you can encounter one or two monsters for everyone to fight.
In the afternoon, Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie took their two children to the gate of the safety zone. The soldiers guarding the city looked at the two children and couldn't help but persuade Rong Xianxian, "What's wrong with such a small baby in this weather?" Can you take it out? Go back quickly!"
"No one will look after the child without him." Rong Xianxian said helplessly.
"Put it here, let's take a look. The duty room inside is quite warm." The soldier said simply.
"No, I still have to help!" Xiao Luo objected loudly for fear that Rong Xianxian would not take him with him!
"We will be back soon. Thank you for your kindness." Rong Xianxian thanked her quickly.
The outside world is white. In this single color, it is easy to lose your way. Rong Xianxian looked at the compass in her hand, pointed in one direction and said, "There is a hillside over there. Let's go there first." .”
