"Mom, please wake up quickly"

Qiao Qingqing vigorously shook Qiao Songzhi awake, quickly put a wool sweater on her, wrapped her in a duvet, and fed her hot brown sugar and ginger water.

The sudden drop in temperature made Qiao Songzhi tremble in her sleep, but her whole body was so stiff that she couldn't wake up.

His mind was stagnant and his body seemed to be in the ice. Qiao Songzhi wondered vaguely, was he going to die?

Fortunately, she heard her daughter's voice, her body was wrapped in warmth, and a warm current passed through her throat. The warm current was hot and spicy, piercing her stomach, making her sigh silently, and finally opened her eyes.

Teeth chattering, Qiao Songzhi shook her stiff fingertips to touch Qiao Qingqing, her eyes widening with all her strength, "Go, your parents-in-law, go."

Qiao Qingqing burst into tears, "Go right now, I'll go right now, Mom, wake up quickly."

"I'm fine, I'm fine, you go"

She went to develop the motor, turned on the floor heating, and then rushed to the attic to answer the call. Shao Sheng'an wrapped his parents in a thick quilt. Shao Shengfei was crying and getting dressed. Qiao Qingqing first turned on the floor heating in the attic, and then took out ginger syrup for Shao's father and the others.

drink.

Fortunately, Shao's father and Shao's mother were in good health. They had taken them for a physical examination before. They were stronger than her mother. They recovered after drinking hot water and putting on warm clothes.

Qiao Songzhi came up wrapped in a thick quilt to see the situation, "Everything is okay."

Shao Sheng'an hurriedly said, "Okay, Mom, everything is fine here."

"That's good. Why did the temperature drop suddenly? It was so sudden."

The generator hums, the floor heating system starts, and the floor begins to warm.

"I'll notify people outside." Shao Sheng'an saw that his family's condition had stabilized and decided to go out. Qiao Qingqing caught up with him and handed him a hot water bottle.

"It's filled with ginger syrup. They definitely didn't have time to boil the hot water."

Shao Sheng'an nodded and quickly opened the door and went out. He did not close the door. Qiao Qingqing heard a strong knock on the door and Shao Sheng'an's shouting from outside.

"The temperature has cooled down, get up quickly, wake up quickly"

Returning to the house, Qiao Qingqing held Qiao Songzhi in one hand and Shao's mother in the other, gently touched their backs and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling okay?"

"Okay, much better." Shao's mother was still trembling when she spoke, and her voice was hollow, "Qing, Qingqing, I feel so dizzy."

She just caught a cold and was not feeling well.

"You lie down and sleep, I will take care of Feifei." Qiao Songzhi said.

Before going to bed, Qiao Qingqing pretended to go to the kitchen and took out the midnight snack from the space, "Let's all have something hot."

What she brought out was spicy and sour beef noodles, one for each person. Shao's mother had not had a good sense of taste these days, and she felt greedy when she smelled the spicy and sour smell.

Qiao Qingqing set up a low table, and five people sat on the floor around the table to eat noodles.

The spicy and sour beef noodles were packed back from a noodle shop outside. They were put in steaming hot and looked just like they were made when they were taken out. The soup base was sour and spicy, the beef was tender and tender, and the side dishes included enoki mushrooms and corn.

All the food is soaked in soup, and the person who eats it is warm from his mouth to his throat and to his stomach.

Shao Sheng'an quickly returned while rubbing his hands. As soon as he opened the door, there was a hot aroma. A small orange stool was opened in the attic. He saw the backs of his wife and their heads. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What are you eating? I smell it."

I’m so greedy.”

Qiao Qingqing went to get him a bowl and two fried dumplings.

The sudden drop in temperature froze the minds of Shao's father and Shao's mother, and they did not even think about the abnormality. After eating, everyone felt that their bodies were warming up from the inside out.

"This is floor heating. It's really nice and warm." Father Shao touched the floor curiously and asked if all the people in Huacheng installed this thing.

Qiao Qingqing shook her head, "That's not true. Huacheng only has a few cold days in winter, and few people install floor heating. A classmate's company of mine is making this thing. There was a discount package, so I made it."

Father Shao praised with a smile, "So there are great benefits to studying. Your classmates are so good. I will miss you every time."

Qiao Songzhi was concerned about the situation of her neighbors and asked Shao Sheng'an.

"I knocked on the door and heard some movement in the house. They must have all woken up." Shao Sheng'an stood by the window and answered while retracting his hand to take back the thermometer.

The wind was freezing outside, and the cold got in through the cracks, making Shao Sheng'an shiver. He quickly closed the window and pulled up the curtains to block the cold wind.

I looked down at the candlelight and saw that the veins on his forehead were beating hard: "minus nineteen degrees Celsius."

Father Shao exclaimed, "It was only 21 degrees yesterday. I saw this thermometer hanging here. How is this possible?" He walked over quickly, took it over and took a look. He even reopened the window and measured it again.

Stretching out your hand is like being immersed in ice water. It becomes unbearable within a few seconds, as if there is a sharp blade made of ice, scraping the skin and peeling the flesh again and again.

When measured again, it was minus 20 degrees Celsius.

"We'll see what happens tomorrow. Go to bed first," Qiao Qingqing said.

"That's right, you guys should go to bed too. The room is warm, it'll be fine."

"I'll take Feifei downstairs to sleep with me tonight. My father-in-law, you take care of your mother-in-law."

Father Shao hurriedly said, "How embarrassing, no, no, no."

Qiao Songzhi told him not to be polite, "Feifei is just a child, and he is usually so good. It doesn't matter if I take him with him all night. Feifei, would you like to sleep with Mother Qiao tonight?"

Shao Shengfei liked the gentle Qiao Songzhi and nodded happily.

The floor heating was on, and the room gradually became warmer. Qiao Qingqing watched the temperature on the thermostat slowly rise, and finally reached the set value of 18 degrees Celsius.

"This temperature is enough. The temperature at night after autumn is only 12 to 16 degrees Celsius." Shao Shengan asked her to go to bed.

"I can't sleep, you go to sleep first."

Shao Sheng'an got out of bed and led her, "Let's go, the bed is warm with quilts. Even if you can't sleep, don't stand on the ground."

As soon as I lay down, I heard faint cries from downstairs, but the doors and windows were closed, so I couldn't hear the sound clearly.

"Mom asked you just now, you didn't elaborate, right?" Qiao Qingqing said softly.

"Well, when I knocked on the door, Grandma Wang's house opened the door for me. Grandpa Wang seemed to be in bad condition. He couldn't drink the hot water. It seemed that a child in the Wang family was also in bad condition. I heard Sister Jia Le, that is, Jia Xin, was there.

Crying, I poured water for them and then left. The Zheng family did not open the door for me. Chen Binggang’s son opened the door to Grandpa Tian’s house. The two elderly people were not in good condition, so I left the hot water bottle at their home.”

"Sheng'an, I don't know why it's advanced. It's only been four months since the end of the world, but it's still less than four months after the end of the world. Why has the temperature dropped so much? I haven't prepared many things yet."

Just as he was talking, crying came from downstairs, and Wang Jiale cried loudly, "Grandpa."

Qiao Qingqing looked numb, "It should be that Grandpa Wang is gone. He had cardiovascular disease. I remember that during the great cooling period, the Wang family still had three children. After Chen Binggang and his family moved into Grandpa Tian's house, they were very fond of the old couple.

Shangxin, when the temperature dropped at the beginning of my last life, both of them were fine. Sheng'an fell ill later. I prepared a lot. I also thought I could remind them in advance. For example, on the night of the temperature drop, I could hold an event for everyone.

They all go to bed later, so that they won’t be unprepared when the temperature drops. I can also remind them to prepare supplies for the winter in advance, as there is still more than half a year left.”

"Qingqing, this is not your problem." Shao Sheng'an said to her solemnly, "You have done what you should do, you don't need to blame yourself."

Qiao Qingqing shook her head: "Sheng'an, you don't have to think of me so noble. I don't blame myself. Apart from you, I can't include other people in my scope of responsibility. I am a selfish person and just want to protect myself."

Under the premise of helping others, more importantly, I only consider our own family. Sheng'an, about the last mudslide, we all determined that the future can be changed. I was very happy at the time and felt that the deadlock in the future could also be broken.

Hope. But now I understand that the future can change, and the trajectory of the end of the world may also change."

This was what caused her the most pain.

Her advantages were the materials in space and her insight into the approximate date of the sweeping natural disaster, but this sudden cooling changed everything.

For example, the big earthquake that indirectly caused her death, will the big earthquake come earlier? She planned to leave home with her family before the big earthquake and find a flat place. How should she determine the date now?

"You are too anxious, Qingqing. I told you that you can share your pressure with me. It's okay. There is still some time before the big earthquake. Don't be so anxious."

Under Shao Sheng'an's comfort, Qiao Qingqing eased her emotions and closed her eyes.

After a long time, Shao Sheng'an fell asleep, and Qiao Qingqing opened her eyes and silently shouted for space in her heart.

After shouting several times, the voice replied to her and asked her what happened.

Qiao Qingqing asked why the big temperature drop arrived early.

This involves the laws of the world. Don’t you humans have a saying called the butterfly effect? ​​The world is made up of huge amounts of data. No one can control it and predict its trajectory. If the temperature drop is ahead of schedule, something must have happened. I

Unable to detect. Qiao Qingqing, considering the fate of your mother and me, I would like to give you one last piece of advice: don’t rely too much on anything. The only thing you can rely on is yourself. The true strength of a person comes from a strong heart.

After saying that, it disappeared, leaving Qiao Qingqing's pupils shrunken and her heart shocked.

It was like a big bell was ringing in her ears. She felt like she was being woken up. Her breathing couldn't help but quicken. She felt her heart beating rapidly, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of her heartbeat.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling, feeling her heart slowly calming down, Qiao Qingqing closed her eyes and curled up into the warm duvet.
