Chapter 195: The Extreme Cold Doomsday:
Finally, before lunch, the eight people delivered enough charcoal to every household.
When they returned to the factory, everyone almost collapsed.
"So tired..."
Jiang Jiang sat slumped aside with dull eyes, just like a puppy who had lost hope in life.
"How about we eat something in the factory at noon today!"
Zhang Yang suggested.
Anyway, after work in the afternoon, I stay at home all the time. We usually work in shifts, so it’s rare for us to get together.
Jiang Jiang was the first to agree.
"I suggest eating hot pot. I have hot pot base at home!"
"Then I'll go home and get some bowls, chopsticks, garlic, coriander and so on."
Zhou Xiaoxia raised her hand and said.
"Then I'll go back and get some sesame oil. My mom bought a lot of it a while ago. I'll bring a bottle over later, and also bring some cabbage, winter melon, and bean sprouts."
There's no way. In this weather, there are only these dishes or dried vegetables, but the hot pot is not tasty.
"I have a small refrigerator at home. I'll go get a few packs of beef rolls and mutton rolls." They were all grown men, and Jiang Jiang estimated that they would need several large packs to be enough to eat.
"I have pork at home, I'll go get some back. And Uncle Xu's cow, I'll go buy some back, hehe."
Zhang Yang touched his head and chuckled.
None of them were too old, and after dividing the work, it didn't take long for everyone to get the things.
When the factory was being built, the construction team built an earthen stove inside the factory to make it convenient for employees on duty to heat up meals.
But it won’t be used today because Jiang Jiang brought all the gas tanks directly from home.
Eight people sat around a table, eating steaming hot pot, and felt that the coldness that had been in their bodies throughout the morning was all expelled.
Since they took a lot of dishes and there were some left over, Jiang Jiang and the others cooked all the dishes and gave some to those who wanted to take them home.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Jiang didn’t feel so cold on the way back home.
When they got to the bedroom, Jiang Jiang took out the oranges he had collected from the village, cut them into a small plate, and took out a small bunch of grapes and a plate of cherries as after-meal fruit.
Jiang Jiang opened the curtains and looked out through the foggy transparent glass, only to vaguely see a vast expanse of white.
She had never heard the original sound of birds singing since the heavy snow, and there was no color other than white in the long mountains.
Thousands of birds and all-rounders.
This was the first time that Jiang Jiang experienced the charm of this poem in person, or more accurately, its power.
The snow is still falling, as if I am the only one in the world.
Jiang Jiang finally understood why those people in Northern Europe were prone to depression.
Empty and lonely.
Even the most introverted people sometimes long to return to the group and feel the popularity.
After working for a whole morning, Jiang Jiang stayed in the room to rest in the afternoon. When he felt cold, he added two pieces of charcoal.
After having hotpot at noon, Jiang Jiang just ate something casually in the evening and played games in the room to kill time.
"Ah woo~"
Jiang Jiang immediately put down the game controller in his hand and stood up alertly.
If she heard correctly, it was a wolf howling?
"Ah woo~"
A series of wolf howling sounds came from a distance, causing a commotion in the village.
For many years, this area has been where the ancestors of Qingshan Village have lived for generations.
All kinds of wild animals on the nearby hills know that this is the territory of the terrifying upright ape. No matter how ferocious a beast is, it will never return once it goes there. It is a veritable forbidden place for wild animals.
Although Qingshan Village is located in the mountains, the last time a wild beast attacked the village was decades ago.
After the wild boar devoured the villagers' crops, the village chief led the villagers to sweep the nearby hills with hunting rifles. It is said that wild boar meat and wolf meat were transported down the mountain in carts.
Perhaps it is because of the heavy snow covering the mountaintops in recent days, and the various wild animals in the mountains are short of food and clothing, especially the wolves that do not need to hibernate.
You know, there haven't been any wild wolves seen in this area for many years. Jiang Jiang estimated that the wolves that were roaring just now had migrated from other places.
But after howling nearby for a while, the wolves did not come into the village.
After a while, Zhang Qiang was beating drums and gongs, calling every household to come out to discuss the "wolf disaster" tonight.
Jiang Jiang was originally about to go out, but just as he reached the door, he ran into Zhang Yang and his brother Zhang Kai who were attending a meeting on behalf of their family.
Zhang Yang waved his hand:
"Jiang Jiang, go home and rest. My brother and I are going to a meeting. I'll let you know if there are any arrangements then."
Moreover, they all knew that Jiang Jiang was a girl living alone at home. Even if the branch secretary organized a guard team or something, it would not be Jiang Jiang's turn.
As for Jiang Jiang, since someone was willing to help, she was naturally happy and relaxed.
However, she did not do nothing.
There were still quite a few cameras of various types stored in the space. Jiang Jiang found a few and unpacked them.
She planned to install a few outside the factory and outside her own door, so that it would be convenient in case anything happened.
About two hours later, Zhang Yang and Zhang Kai came back with serious expressions.
Zhang Yang first went to Jiang Jiang's house and talked to her for a few words.
"The secretary said we should build a fence at the entrance of the village in the next two days to prevent some animals from sneaking into our villagers' homes at night to steal food. It would be bad if they hurt people."
As for patrolling, they had this plan at first, but the weather outside was too cold. They were already freezing just by walking to the secretary's house, not to mention strolling outside at night when the temperature was even lower. Wouldn't they get sick from the cold?
In addition, each household’s house is newly built, so there is no need to worry about wild beasts breaking through the walls, so safety is not the most worrying issue.
So after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to focus on prevention and supplement with attack.
But in normal times, you should go out less.
Jiang Jiang also made preparations. Apart from sweeping the snow in the yard every day, he did not go out unless necessary.
In the morning, Jiang Jiang got up yawning.
She first mixed a bag of milk powder for herself and then boiled an egg. Now that she was exercising less, she needed to supplement more protein.
After eating and drinking, she began her daily routine of snow clearing.
"Hey~"
Jiang Jiang discovered a moving figure in the snow.
