"How many people are still alive?"
Everyone stared at the ice and snow world in front of them, but there was no time to be sentimental, and they quickly fell into busyness.
Tan's mother and Zhou's mother started a fire to boil water and thawed the frozen villa. The smoke curled up, bringing a touch of fresh popularity to the whole world. Everyone was busy, and Zhou's father even went to see the newly purchased off-road vehicle. It was frozen, but fortunately the damage was not serious.
Xihe was wrapped up like a stupid bear and looked around the entire villa. Zhou Yan was helping the adults and came to see her from time to time.
Woof woof woof!
Xihe raised his head and saw a big black dog jumping happily outside the wall.
She raised her eyebrows and stepped on the thick snow to open the door. Zhou Yan ran over quickly: "Nunuu, don't move. I'll open the door!"
Zhou Yan held a hot water bottle in his hand and poured water on the lock. After the ice had almost melted, he hit it hard with a hammer and the lock opened. The big black dog rushed over, Xihe quickly avoided it, and Zhou Yan was He threw himself on the ground and his face was licked with saliva.
Xihe: ...You are really treating yourself like a dog.
Zhou Yan's face was covered with saliva and he finally got up. The dog wagged its tail happily.
"Nu Nu, it seems to be the stray dog you picked up last time!"
Zhou Yan squatted down curiously, and it turned out to be that dog. After a month of wandering, he had now become a real stray dog.
The whole body is dirty and the fur is messy, but he looks very energetic and energetic.
The dog 'Woof woof woof': Yes, it's me!
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and said to Xihe, "Let's take it home."
We didn't adopt him last time and let him go. However, after experiencing the cold snap, the dog came back on his own, indicating that he was destined to them.
He touched the dog's head with his hand, and the dog rubbed it proactively. He smiled and thought to himself: Moreover, this dog is very lucky.
Xihe glanced at the shamelessly cute Gouzi: "Well, you can take him with you if you want, but I don't know if my mother will agree." Just as the chaos was about to start, Gouzi came back at the right time.
The two people and the dog closed the door and entered the house. The whole family was shocked when they saw the dog. When they recognized the dog, they were all a little sad.
"This dog is really lucky. It is still alive. Now that you have encountered it, just keep it."
After looking around the dog, Mother Tan made the final decision: "If the dog is all black, let's call him Dahei. From now on, let him look after the house and the home."
Gouzi: Dahei? Big black? !
Woof woof woof, I am a Dangtang system, the real body is a demon, and you actually call me Dahei? I disagree!
It's a pity that no one knows what it's talking about. A new member has been added to the family, and everyone's gloomy face finally showed a smile.
As the only insider, Xihe didn't care about it, and didn't even ask much about where it had been wandering around this month.
"It looks like it's almost noon. I'm going to cook." Zhou's mother stood up.
"Okay, I'll go too. Let's eat stew today." Tan's mother followed. Because the restaurant on the first floor was frozen and had not yet thawed, the two went to the second floor of the basement to cook.
Father Zhou and Father Tan moved the stools and began to replace the glass. When the cold wave came, many of the glass cracked.
Grandpa Tan and Grandpa Lin also helped, while Grandma Tan and Grandma Lin continued to boil water to thaw the things in the room... Everyone was busy, and at this moment, several shadows kept approaching outside the villa.
"Xihe, someone is coming!" The dog barked.
Xihe looked through the window and saw several thickly dressed people wandering near the villa.
She called out "Zhou Yan", and the two of them came to the gate. The man who was hesitating whether to call someone overjoyed and ran over: "Girl, young man! Is there anything going on at your house? I'm from the villa next door. Just now If you see smoke in your house, come over and take a look."
The man was about forty or fifty years old, chubby, and wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. As he approached, he smelled an unpleasant smell.
Xihe subconsciously took two steps back, and the man seemed to notice it, so he backed away quickly and said sheepishly: "When the cold wave came, we all hid in the basement. There was no toilet in it. After a month, I felt... I'm really embarrassed. "
basement? Hearing this, Xihe raised his eyebrows: "Your house has a basement. It seems that nothing happened to the family."
The man nodded immediately: "My father, mother, wife, and two children are all at home. They are all fine. It's just..." He scratched his head and couldn't help but look at the house behind them, "It's just that we didn't prepare much food. , I’ve finished eating. Girls and boys, do you have any more at home? I’d like to borrow some..."
A pair of dark eyes looked at the two of them. Their faces were rosy and their clothes were clean and tidy. It was obvious that they were living a good life.
Thinking of what his son had mentioned before, truckloads of trucks were driving towards this villa. It was said that there were not only grains but also various kinds of meat, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
In fact, he wanted to find food as early as half a month ago, but it was too cold. Within two minutes of leaving the basement, he almost fainted from the cold. He had no choice but to wait until now.
"Young man, are your adults in there? I just want to borrow a little to get through these two days. When the store opens later, I will go buy it."
"And I'll give you three times the money to buy food. No, how about five times?"
After saying that, he looked at the two of them eagerly.
But now that the situation is so bad, most of the buildings are frozen, are the shops open? Nowhere in sight.
Zhou Yan said nothing and looked at Xihe, who then looked behind the man: "Are you here to borrow food too?"
At some point, some people who were wandering near the villa came to the door one after another. Some were in poor spirits, some had rosy faces, some had dirty clothes, and exuded an unpleasant stench. Looking greedily at the Xihe duo and the villa behind them.
"I've seen you transport food to the villa." The leader was a tall, fierce man with a sinister face.
Zhou Yan subconsciously squeezed Xihe's hand and pursed his lips tightly. At this time, the two sides were in a confrontation, and the other party was obviously evil.
"Little girl, the world is difficult now, and we don't know when the country's relief food will come out. Since you have food, and there is so much of it, there is no reason for one person to dominate. It also leaves some way for us people to survive, right? ?”
"Yes, and don't worry, when life gets better later, we will definitely pay you back and we will never default on your debt!"
"I see that your family has moved several cars. There are only ten people in your family. There is no way to eat all these things. Rather than letting the food spoil, it is better to give it to the big guys."
The other men were very casual and spoke rudely, and they had actually figured out the situation in the villa a long time ago.
I know that there are many old people in the villa, there are several women, and there are only three young and middle-aged people.
It means to warn them not to overestimate their capabilities and confront them.
"Strong words! We bought these grains with money and worked hard to bring them back. What does it have to do with you?"
Tan's mother rushed over and looked at the person opposite with a fierce expression.
There was a lot of noise outside the door, and everyone in the house was startled.
