Chapter 4: Sense of Security(1/2)

famine!!

In the next few days, Wang Tian was in a heavy mood.

My cousin's family has run out of food, what about the others?

This made him very upset.

The reason for the uneasiness is not only sympathizing with my cousin's family, but also because the food outage will not be a matter between the two families, and it is likely to be very involved.

As supplies become increasingly scarce, there are always people who can't stand hunger and go out to find a way.

The one who knocked on the door the day before yesterday was my cousin. What if it was a stranger?

Give it or not?

I gave it, what should I do next time?

Will not give it, will it cause conflict?

The rescue has not arrived yet, but the danger is pressing step by step.

Wang Tian felt that he had to prepare for the worst and plan for the worst.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong...

On March 30, Wang Tian’s door was knocked again.

The person who came was the head of their Happiness Village, an old man in his sixties who was called Uncle Six.

The old man wore a down jacket and a mask, wrapped himself tightly and said hoarsely: "Boy Wang, be smart when sleeping at night. Last night, people died in the village. Zhao Er and his wife who opened a shop at the entrance of the village were killed and their things were stolen."

"Uncle Six, do you know who the murderer is?"

Wang Tian frowned.

Uncle Six shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's from another village, or maybe it's not. Anyway, be careful."

To be fair, Uncle Six did not want this to be done by the villagers, but he had no evidence and could not speak too hard.

And he was also worried that this was done by the villagers.

Many families have run out of food, and people are hungry and can do anything.

"Uncle Six, your face?"

Under the flashlight, Uncle Liu's forehead was covered with abscesses, as if he had a very serious skin disease.

"I ran to the county a few times, but I didn't have protective clothing and had some skin allergies."

Uncle Liu stopped when he clicked, and didn't say much.

Wang Tian knew if his sixth uncle had relatives in the county town. When he went to the county town, he probably found supplies for them.

"Uncle Six, what's going on in the county now?"

Wang Tianyi looked strange.

Uncle Liu went to the county town several times but returned in vain, unlike finding an organization.

In addition, the short-lived epidemic prevention brigade has never seen it again after appearing once, which gives him a bad feeling.

“The situation in the county is not very good.”

"There are only hundreds of qualified protective clothing in the entire county, which is not enough."

"The eight rescue teams that went out on the 15th, three more were robbed and heard that they even fired."

"Now the county's supplies are not enough for me. I went to find them a few times and couldn't take care of us for a while."

Uncle Six sighed, with a sad face.

Seeing this, Wang Tian was a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle Six, there is a granary in the county. With the sealing degree of the granary, it should not be contaminated, right?"

"Gravel, granary!"

The expression on Uncle Six's face became more and more painful: "The granary is empty!"

Empty!!

Wang Tian only felt dizzy.

Their Qingyuan County is a large vegetable county, and there are not many farmers who grow grain.

The granary in the county is empty again, this is the rhythm of starving people to death.

You should know that the grain in their county is transferred from other places, mostly from the three northern provinces.

It’s okay, but where can I go to transfer grain now? One hundred or two hundred thousand people in a county town, how long can the existing grain last?

No wonder the rescue work has not been delayed, and the county has no food, so what can I use to help the countryside?

If it weren't for being too impatient today, Uncle Six told the truth.

I'm afraid he's still in the dark and is waiting for people from the county to come.

It's going to be messy, it's going to be messy.

The granaries in the county are empty and there is no food for them, so the towns below will definitely be in chaos.

It is unclear elsewhere, and seven out of eight out of ten of their Happy Villages have run out of food.

Food is the most important thing for people.

Everyone can't eat enough, their hungry eyes are green, and they can't do anything at that time.

"No, I have to go to my cousin's house."

After the sixth uncle left, Wang Tian put on a raincoat and wrapped himself tightly out.

He was about to go to his cousin's house. Now the world is starting to be in chaos, and he plans to discuss some things with his second uncle.

Dongdongdongdongdong.

"Who?"

"Second uncle, I am Wang Tian. Open the door and I have something to discuss with you."

The Wang Tian family and her cousin's house are on the same street. The two families are not far away, so it takes only half a minute to trot over.

But that's it. His throat was still hot when he breathed. The radiant dust outside was stronger than the smog. It was unbearable to take a few sips. No wonder Uncle Six's voice was so hoarse.

"Xiaotian, why are you here? Come in quickly."

My second uncle opened the door and let Wang Tian enter the house.

Wang Tian saw that his second aunt and little cousin were both there, and there was a half-chewed instant noodles on the table.

Feeling Wang Tian's gaze, the second aunt smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaotian, what's the matter with your second uncle?"

“That’s how it is.”

Wang Tian was not vague and said bluntly: "Second uncle, the sixth uncle must have been here just now. There are dead people in our village. No one has found out that they are just for a bite."

"I just asked Uncle Six, the county's granary was empty and there was no food for us. There was no need to think about rescue."

"I was thinking that there are more and more people short of clothes and food, and the countryside may be in chaos for a while."

"It is best for us to combine people together and take care of each other, so that we will not lose our lives if we are confused at night."

They are all their own relatives, so Wang Tian doesn’t have to hide what he says.

Hearing Wang Tian's words, my second uncle and others were very moved, and they only had concerns: "Xiaotian, we can go there, but my second uncle's house has no food. Didn't I compete with you for food in the past?"

"Second uncle, look at what you said. If I had no food, I wouldn't dare to invite your family."

Wang Tian leaked some of his old thoughts and whispered: "We four save some food. My food and water will last for at least one month."

"One month!"

Second aunt's eyes lit up.

These days, they have used three packs of instant noodles every day and dare not eat too much.

Cao Sihui is fine, she is just a little girl in her sixteens and seventeens, and a pack of instant noodles is enough.

My second uncle and my second aunt were not good. The convenience of a pack was enough, and my eyes were so hungry that I was blurred.

Now when I heard the word "eating", my eyes were filled with green light.

"This is great. If we can hold on for a month, the radiation dust outside will be almost gone, so we can also find food outside."

My second uncle was overjoyed.

Once both sides have decided, they will not wait for tomorrow.

After cleaning up the useful things, we moved to Wang Tian while it was dark, and the two families were temporarily merged into one.

The Wang Tian family is an old house, built in a few years.

There is a room in the east and west, facing the street, with the living room in the middle, the kitchen and bathroom behind, and the yard behind.

Wang Tian lives in the east room, and his second uncle and second aunt live in the west room.

My little cousin had to feel a little aggrieved, and there was no place for her to live except the kitchen.
