Chapter 8: The mountain collapsed

After the May Day holiday, the country issued a high-temperature warning, coupled with the drought in the north, the sun was scorching the earth, and the temperature further increased.
Several major furnace cities have successively exceeded the historical maximum temperature of 51 degrees, and even Hantan Village, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, is not hot enough, and the temperature has soared to 30 degrees.
Each of the seven households in the village had no air-conditioning, only electric fans, and the fans came out with hot air. They couldn't sleep at night, each carrying a bench and sitting on the water well in Su Mian's courtyard with a fan.
"God thief, it's not hot enough."
"No, now an air conditioner has risen to 5,000 yuan, and there is no stock. Everyone is queuing to buy air conditioners in so many nearby villages."
"Even if I bought an air conditioner, I can't find anyone to install the air conditioner now. The installer gets heat stroke every day." Village head Li Dali shook the tattered fan and patted the mosquitoes on his legs.
Everyone shook their heads.
Su Mian ordered two plates of mosquito coils in the yard, washed a large pot of strawberries in the refrigerator, and moved the electric fan to the yard. He smiled and said, "The grandfather of the village chief is right, not only in our county, Air conditioners are sold out all over the country, and factory orders have been scheduled for next month. Now air conditioner repairs must be booked three days in advance. "
Six aunts panicked the six gods without a master: "Then we can't buy the air conditioner, wouldn't we be killed by heat? Our baby Huwa is only seven years old, and I can't stay at my sister's house all the time."
"I don't leave, there is no place to go." Uncle Liu said frowningly.
Su Mian's eyes are bright: "It is not necessary to install air conditioning. The water pool in Houshan is very cool. Now there is no ice. I built a stone house in Houshan and moved to live. I can pass the summer without air conditioning. The stone house can also prevent The beasts in the mountains are safe. "
"Hey, don't say it, it's true, I can take my sheep too. Waiting, our sheep will be hot to death." Village head Li Dali patted his legs and applauded.
"Xia Mian, how much does it cost to build a stone house?" Grandma Zhao in the village said worriedly. "I raised chicken and eggs with your grandmother last year and saved 3000 yuan. Is that enough?"
Grandma Zhao lives alone in Hantan Village. Her wife went out to work and died. The only son was in a car accident. The daughter-in-law ran away with her granddaughter and all the money in the family. The elderly lived on the government's Dibao every month. Last year, they raised chickens and sold eggs with Su Mian's grandmother. They only saved some money.
"Grandma Zhao, you just need to live with our family's Huwa, no need to build." Aunt Liu said cheerfully.
"That's right, we don't feel relieved if you live alone. When the time comes, everyone will squeeze together." The village chief said naggingly. "You are also true. You don't even want to eat eggs and sell them."
Those who stayed in Hantan Village were all widowed elderly people, women and children. Because they lived in the mountains for a long time, they were isolated from the world. Everyone was honest and honest. They helped each other on weekdays.
"Everyone can live together in a few families and share a living room and kitchen, which not only saves money but is also lively. The construction team is ready-made. You can discuss which houses to live with. I let the construction team build your house again." Su Mianxiao Tao said, "I don't charge you any money. There is a drought. There is no water to drink in the north. In addition, the harvest in the high-temperature field is not good. I estimate that the price of the rice, oil and salt will soon increase. You hoard some food. Just fine. "
In fact, three large caves have been dug out over the Hantan Lake in the back of the mountain, each of which is seven to eighty squares in size. According to the specifications of the three rooms and one hall, the project is nearing completion. Li Hongqi itself is making tiles For business people, people also pulled the best tiles, and now they are waiting for the tiles.
Everyone happily heard that they decided to share the house with every three households, plus the Su Mian family, exactly three stone houses.
Everyone talked until late at night before going away.
"You deliberately let everyone move to the mountains to live?" Grandma Su saw everyone was gone, and held Su Mian quietly said, "You child, do you really believe in a dream?"
Su Mian, holding her grandmother's arm, smiled coquettishly: "Anyway, everyone has no losses, and they will move back when the weather is not hot."
"Fine, I can't tell you." Grandma Su laughed lovingly.
Grandpa and grandson cleaned up and went back to sleep.
Su Mian felt like she had forgotten a very important thing when she fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept. Until the earth-shattering roar came from the mountain, she woke up from the bed and remembered the time when the mountain collapsed in the previous life. It was one night in mid-May.
The two mountains in front of Hantan Village collapsed overnight. The villagers got up in the morning and looked at their suddenly bright vision.
The mountain collapsed?
Not only the two mountains in front of Hantan Village, but many mountains in the mountains collapsed, Anping County was caught in unprecedented chaos. Fortunately, the garrison in the Southwest Military Region was not far from here, and troops entered the mountain that afternoon.
Hantan Village and several villages were trapped. By the seventh day, the troops of the Southwest Military Region finally cleared a mountain road and reached Hantan Village.
"Let's do population registration, casualty registration, and loss registration first." Leading was a handsome young man in his early thirties with tanned skin, and the man looked sharply at the small village in this basin.
There are a few sporadic households in total, and the houses are old tiles that were decades ago. They are very dilapidated. These are the lonely old people and left-behind women and children who are not willing to move. It is also strange to say that such a big movement, this village Actually unscathed.
It's really big.
"Comrade, hello, this is the village head Li Dali." Li Dali came out carrying two thermoses and came forward nervously, saying, "I'll pour some water for the comrades, it's too hot."
Everyone looked at the water bottle with glowing eyes and licked their dry lips.
"Resting in place." The man gave instructions, and the group sat and rested.
"Comrade, this is the cucumbers grown in our family to relieve the heat."
"This is freshly cooked eggs."
"This is baked sweet potatoes ..."
The villagers enthusiastically took out the food at home.
Mu Ling rescued seven days without sleep with his subordinates. The mountain collapsed so badly that the strong men in their 30s and 40s in other villages were so scared that they lost half their lives. The villagers of Hantan Village all smiled. Feeling calm, he was a little puzzled.
How come they are not afraid of fear of such a natural disaster?
"Thank you all, don't worry, the mountain roads are being cleared, and traffic will be restored soon." The man's voice said hoarsely.
"We are not worried, we can be self-sufficient and not afraid of no air conditioning."
"That is, Xiao Mian said that the outside is about ten to twenty degrees hotter than the mountains, and those who go out must be roasted."
"Recently, the animals in the mountains have run out. Xiaomian took us to play a lot of prey. Comrade, you will stay and eat at noon."
Everyone, you said me one word, almost everyone does not leave the word "Xiao Mian".
"Mr. Village, is there Xiaomian?"
"Xiao Mian went to Houshan to hunt."
"Girl? Go hunting alone?"
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. After the mountain collapsed, fierce beasts rampaged, and some people bite into the village. The girls in this mountain are so brave?
"Village, you take us to Houshan to see." Mu Ling stood up and quickly ordered, "The first team followed me to Houshan, and the second team stood by to report the situation to the village."
Li Dali quickly took Mu Ling and others up the mountain, and the other villagers went home to take out the meat and vegetables at home and went to Grandma Su's house to make lunch.
Along the way, Mu Ling has basically understood the situation of Hantan Village. There are seven families with a total of eleven people. The village head is Li Dali, but the girl is just a 20-year-old girl. This girl was last year ’s. The top student in the provincial college entrance examination and Huada University.
In May, it was time for colleges and universities to attend, and the little girl had been home for more than a month.
Mu Ling followed the village head to the cold lake in Houshan. When he saw such a hot weather, the lake was still icy.
Nowadays, high temperatures and hot deaths are happening all over the country. Not to mention, the temperature in the southwest has reached 50 degrees. There is such a natural summer resort in this isolated mountain village.
Let alone the heat in this mountain, the cold one is required to wear a coat.
"Mr. Village, are you constructing here?" Mu Ling's men saw three excavated caves. Each cave was dug three meters high, bright and spacious, and the road from the entrance to the Hantan was all a stone road.
"It's too hot, I can't buy air conditioners, and the circuit often fails. Xiaomian asked the construction team to build a stone house. We plan to move over to avoid the heat." Village head Li Dali said with a laugh.
If it was put a month ago, this behavior is unbelievable, but after experiencing high temperatures across the country and the temperature continues to rise, digging a cave to build a house is to save lives.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, how did you go up the mountain?" Su Mian went up the mountain early in the morning to hunt. After the mountain collapsed, the animals in the mountain fled and the number of animals surged, and these weak animals could not resist the coming end of the world under the flame Will be burned directly to ashes.
During the week when the mountain was closed, Su Mian had to go up the mountain to hunt every day, store as much bacon as possible, and also caught some pheasants and hares in the yard.
Mu Ling and others froze when they saw her.
The 20-year-old girl was wearing a floral disc buckle gown, calf trousers plunged into boots, carrying bamboo baskets and bows and arrows, brave and brave, but she was extremely beautiful, her skin was whiter than ivory, and her dark pupil seemed to be With the clear water and clear water, no one thought of the little girl who went up the mountain to hunt every day.
"Xiao Mian, this is a comrade who came to the rescue. I heard that you went hunting on the mountain alone and came over to look at it." Liu Dali laughed.
Su Mian nodded, put down the prey in a bamboo basket, wiped the sweat and said, "I'm fine, I hunted a boy today, weighing 30 to 40 pounds, the grandfather of the village head, I will be braised for everyone Try it early. "
Everyone looked closely, and really saw a hornless boy in the bamboo basket, a few pheasants and hares, looked at each other suddenly, and hunted so many game by the bow and arrow? Master.
They are worried.
"Hezi is a nationally protected animal." Mu Ling frowned.
"Such as today's disaster, people will be at the bottom of the food chain, whoever cares for the son." Su Mian said coldly.
Su Mian said that Mu Ling was speechless. The team behind him laughed when he saw the captain eating, saying, "Captain, when this boy was killed by the collapse of the mountain, we were marching in the wild, Have n’t eaten less. "
"Come on, sister paper, I will carry the bamboo basket for you. This bamboo basket must be heavy."
Everyone said enthusiastically.
When Su Mian was found, the group went down to the village.
Farm dishes prepared for lunch and braised bulgogi.
Mu Ling and others adhered to the principle of not taking the people one needle and one thread. As a result, they did not eat, and the villagers did not eat. In the end, they had to pay a few hundred dollars to buy this lunch.
The taste of the game in the mountains is awesome, plus Grandma Su ’s good cooking skills, everyone has eaten the best meal since the rescue, no, it is the best meal to grow so big.
Mu Ling saw all the pheasant hare meat hanging under the eaves of Su's house, as well as mutton and pork leg meat, suddenly nodded secretly, no wonder the villagers were convinced by this little girl, good skill, smart mind, one of ten capable .
"Now the mountain collapses and it is not safe here. Do you want to move to relatives' houses?" Mu Ling reminded the villagers of being honest.
Mu Lingjun ’s position is not low, and he knows a lot of unknown insiders. For example, today ’s disasters are not safe everywhere. Today ’s mountains are collapsing. Minger may be an earthquake and forest fire. Hundreds of major disasters have occurred throughout the country this month. All of them have been suppressed and not released, so as to avoid panic, as far as foreign countries are concerned.
"We won't go anywhere." Aunt Liu shook her head.
"This is our home." Grandma Zhao said.
"Comrade, we are all people who have stepped into the coffin and don't want to go to the son's daughter-in-law to provoke suspicion, just stay in the mountain, Hantan Village is good." The village grandpa said proudly.
Su Mian thoughtfully looked at Mu Ling and determined that he had never seen him in his previous life. After thinking of the end of the end, he rushed to the forefront. The casualties were the soldiers. He also gave a little respect to his heart, saying: "Captain Mu I think on the forum, there are disasters all over the country now, and it may not be safer than the mountains outside. If you have a holiday, go back and see your family. "
Perhaps, there will be no chance in the future.
Mu Ling looked at the young girl sitting in a pile of old and sick, with a strange heart, amazing beauty, extraordinary skill, a talented student who should have studied at Huada University, but now he dug a cave in the deep mountain to build a house , Hunting farms, this little girl named Su Mian is unpredictable in words and deeds.
There is also a frozen lake on the mountain.
Mu Ling felt that he seemed to have grasped some very important things. He believed his instincts. The things inherited from this bloodline had saved his life many times.
After lunch, everyone took a nap and rested. The man walked under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and dialed the mysterious number engraved in his bones under the scorching sun: "Mu Ling, the eleventh generation of Mu Family, applied for a call."
This is the number Grandpa told him before he died. His surname is Mu. He is the eleventh generation of the Mu family. He is a side branch sent by the family to join the WTO. If one day when he feels the crisis and has no way out, he can apply for return. Get asylum from the family.
Mu Ling didn't believe it at first. After his grandfather was cremated, the ashes were not buried in the cemetery, but were taken away by two young men. The two looked ordinary, but they had an indescribable affinity on their bodies, which made people uncomfortable. Resist.
"Mu children will be buried in the family cemetery, Mu Ling, if one day you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can come to us."
The two returned home at night, as if they had never appeared, and now Mu Ling felt the same breath as Mu's children on Su Mian. This comes from the perception in his blood.
There was a busy tone on the phone, and no one seemed to answer it until five seconds later, the call was connected.
"Identification confirmation, do you need to return to the family?" The woman's voice on the phone was full of vitality and affinity.
"No." The man looked at the quiet and beautiful mountain village that was isolated from the world, and said lowly, "I exchanged the right of life-long asylum in exchange for the right to know. I applied to speak with the owner."
He is a soldier because he is a child of Mu Family and can be sheltered by his family, but what about his brothers? How about these tens of millions of ordinary people? He wanted to know what happened to the world.
"Please wait a moment to transfer for you."
After less than a minute, the call was successfully transferred.
"You are the first person to exchange asylum for insiders in hundreds of years." The man's gentle voice sounded, "Muling, I am Mugui, the eleventh-generation head of Mu Family. What do you want to know?"
"I am performing my task. Since this month, there have been hundreds of major disasters across the country. I want to know what happened?"
Mu Gui was silent for a while, and said softly: "I know that it really does not help you. Mu Ling, I can dismiss your application. The disaster situation will continue to expand next month. I will send someone to pick you up and return to the family."
"I'm a soldier." Mu Ling refused. "I don't know why the family is going to hide in the world, but I like this real-blooded world. As long as I live one day, I will protect it. Escaping is not a soldier's job."
Mu Gui's silence was longer this time.
"The world you see is not the whole world. After all, the earthworm can't see the sky above it."
"But the earthworm knows how to protect the people he wants to protect, no matter how small." Mu Ling thought of this lonely village of only eleven people. A 20-year-old girl can take care of the whole village by herself. He What are you afraid of?
He wanted to know where the real safety was, and he wanted to help them.
"Tell me, what the happened?"
Mu Gui sighed lowly: "We speculate that the global high temperature is coming, the temperature may be as high as several hundred degrees Celsius in the near future, the flames are coming, the end of the world is coming, the world is so big, there is no safe place. There may be a ray of life in the Guiyin Forest . "
This is the result of the joint promotion of the four major families. The riots of the elements of the heaven and earth, and the disasters, the end of the world may really be coming. I think he has no desires and desires, and he lives in the mountains and forests of the mountains. It is also a laissez-faire, and there is no so-called industry. It is not as good as Rockwell, and it is even worse than Feng's.
Now that the crisis is coming, he intends to take back all the foreign disciples, relying on the face of his ancestor, attached to Luo Shi, and jointly resist the end of the world.
Mu Linghu was shocked, cold all over, and said in a loss of voice: "How is this possible?"
The end is coming? Global high temperature? Mu Ling looked at the isolated small mountain village in front of him, thinking of the frozen lake in the hot summer of Houshan, suddenly it was like being struck by thunder. If Mu's prediction is true, then it will be a thousand miles away. Safely.
Mu Ling Mumu asked: "Homeowner, can the cold lake still frozen in the scorching heat withstand the heat of the last days?"
On the phone, Mu Gui's voice trembled slightly: "How old?"
"A football field is so big."
"Muling, report your position. You saved the Mu clan, no, you saved more people." Mu Gui took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and was shaking with excitement.
Mu Ling was silent, not by him, but by Su Mian. This Hantan village was his blessed land, and the blessed land of Mu Family.
Su Miansi did n’t know that the officer who came to the rescue was a sibling of Mu Family, and he did n’t know that the young military officer moved his heart and wanted to help a villager, but the Mu family was involved. At the moment, I am on my way to Hantan Village.
The author has something to say:
Su Mian: I did not expect that the first person I saw was actually you.
Mu Gui: Cough cough, sister, do you deal with it?
