Chapter 49 Chapter 49(1/2)

Qiao Qingqing was lucky in her previous life. When something happened, she happened to be at home. She stood on the balcony and watched the tragedies outside numbly. Humans had no power to fight back in the face of natural disasters. She hid at home and did not dare to go out no matter how hungry she was, but in the end she was taken away from her habitat.

"Are you going to advance this time?" Shao Sheng'an appeared behind her.

She nodded slightly.

"Stop looking."

He turned her body over and turned her back to the window, took the rag from her hand, and Shao Sheng'an said, "I'll wipe it, you can rest."

"I'm not tired. I smell the smell of the kitchen. I'll go and cook for my mother."

The water from the water tank flows out from the outlet, and the bed and pillowcases are soaked in the large basin. The foam of the soap reflects the colors of the rainbow in the unhealthy sunlight.

Qiao Qingqing and the others had dinner in the kitchen. Except for Shao Shengfei, no one else had any appetite.

The movement of the ice outside has not stopped. The whole world is like a cup full of ice, with the sound of ice colliding in his ears, and one after another, he smashed a heavy stone into the hearts of people in the building.

Qiao Songzhi put down the bowl and said, "I can't eat it."

"I can't eat it either. Alas, this is too sudden." Shao's mother sighed.

"I feel so uncomfortable." Shao's father was not a delicate person, but he couldn't stand it at this time.

"It's delicious, why don't you eat it?" Shao Shengfei looked at them strangely, his eyes full of innocence.

"We'll eat now, brother, let's eat it quickly." Shao Sheng'an whispered.

"oh"

In the end, the food that I couldn't finish was taken into the space by Qiao Qingqing.

Four hours have passed since the heat rise, and in the evening, the sun hangs west, leaving the world still in light.

At this moment, looking out, the outside world is like a big bowl of milk tea with ice. The turbid water is sparkling, and countless unmelted ice cubes float in the middle. Large pieces of ice cubes collide and squeeze. Occasionally, corpses are squeezed up and pushed down by the ice cubes.

The world is rising and falling, with hot and cold intertwined, and the hot wind flew around with sorrow and crying sounds.

Qiao Qingqing's family sat in the living room, and everyone didn't say much. Until the sun was reluctant to leave and the darkness attacked, Qiao Songzhi said, "I'm back to the room, you go to bed early."

"Feifei, go and go upstairs with mom to sleep. Sheng'an, you and Qingqing go to bed early too."

Everyone went back to their rooms. In a few hours, the moisture and moisture at home had almost disappeared, but the odor outside became more and more serious. Shao Sheng'an closed the window and told Qiao Qingqing that it would be enough to leave the escape window on the balcony to ventilate.

"I'm not very sleepy." There was a smell of disinfectant in the room. Qiao Qingqing was lying on the mat. I didn't know if it was hot or irritable, and I couldn't find sleepiness for a while.

"It's only six:30, so don't force yourself to sleep if you can't sleep. It's okay to lie down and rest." Shao Sheng'an said, "Let me see the temperature."

"How many"

"It dropped a little, thirty degrees Celsius, and the highest point in the afternoon seemed to be thirty-three degrees Celsius, which was seen by my mother."

"The sun will definitely rise again tomorrow, and the temperature will continue to rise."

Shao Shengan hung the thermometer out, climbed onto the bed, and gently fanned the two of them with a fan.

"I'm not very hot when you slap yours."

"It's a good thing to do, just close your eyes and calm down. Turn on the air conditioner when it's hotter."

"This temperature is still tolerant, but according to my experience, it's time to turn on the air conditioner tomorrow at noon." The warming up in the previous life was too hot at noon the next day. At that time, Qiao Qingqing didn't have a thermometer on hand, but her body felt thirty-seven degrees Celsius.

Qiao Qingqing turned over and said, "Fortunately you were on vacation today, and you were afraid when you remembered." Shao Shengan later really found a job in power repair, and sometimes he would be sent to shelters in other areas for power maintenance. If he was far away, he would spend the night outside.

"Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." Shao Sheng'an said softly.

"A lot of people will die today, many people." Qiao Qingqing closed her eyes.

"There will be many, many people who survive."

Qiao Qingqing opened her eyes and the room was completely dark. She couldn't see Shao Sheng'an's face, but a calm breath surrounds him.

"Are you looking at me?" Shao Sheng'an asked.

"How do you know"

Shao Shengan groped in the darkness and stroked her forehead, "I can feel it, silly Qingqing."

The couple whispered, and then Qiao Qingqing fell asleep. At the beginning of the dream, the sound of ice cubes breaking, and then all the sounds disappeared. She felt a cool breeze blowing gently across her cheeks. She fell asleep in this coolness, and the nightmare was no longer invading.

When she woke up, it was dawn. She didn't rush to get up, but listened to the movement outside first.

The window was open, and the morning wind came in through the gaps in the window with a warm breath, bringing the smell outside to Qiao Qingqing's nose.

The fishy smell, rotten smell, corpse smell, and all the decay sealed by the cold below zero are all fermented again after heating up, spreading domineeringly to all directions.

This smell made Qiao Qingqing a little dazed, as if she had returned to her previous life, but she quickly shook her head to dispel her pessimism. She got off the bed, changed her clothes and walked to the window, and saw that there was already a vast ocean outside. The yellow-brown sewage was rippling, and all kinds of debris were floating. The wet rats were swimming in the water, and groups of flies were buzzing and flying around the water. With a bang, Qiao Qingqing pulled her sight back and saw a little cockroach hit the mosquito prevention net, shaking her wings and crawling around the mosquito prevention net, and finally crawling out of Qiao Qingqing's field of vision.

Cockroaches, rats, centipedes and other creatures that flooded during floods disappeared after the severe cooling, but in just one night they made a comeback.

In the whole cold winter of this life, Qiao Qingqing and her family did not suffer much. They closed the doors and windows and turned on the floor heating. When they were staying at home, they were in the Garden of Eden. Occasionally, she would think of the difficult survival scenes of the cold winter of her previous life, and always felt that it was as long as a nightmare.

But the heat up came early, and she knew that the real difficulties and man-made disasters would follow.

After leaving the room, Qiao Qingqing began to check the situation everywhere in the house and confirmed that there were no cockroaches and mice crawling in before reassuring.

After checking, there was something going on upstairs, and Father Shao came downstairs.

"Qingqing gets up so early, come with me, it's so scary on the terrace," said Shao's father.

Hearing him say this, Qiao Qingqing had some guesses in her heart. Sure enough, when she went upstairs, she saw the glass on the terrace covered with leeches, and a large area was covered with blackness. As she crawled and twisted, her abdomen could be seen on this side of the glass, and she looked very chill. Even though she had experienced it once in her previous life, Qiao Qingqing still felt very disgusting and couldn't help but shivering.

"I got up and opened the door and came out to see the situation, but I saw them. It really scared me. At first I thought it was a moth." Shao's father rubbed his arms, as if he could feel the leech sticking to his skin.

"It's okay, they can't get in with glass." This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Qingqing insists on sealing the balcony and the terrace. After the heating up, all kinds of disgusting things will be fully recovered, and they will breed faster than before the end of the world, and their vitality is stronger. In the last life, Qiao Qingqing opened the door of the attic and was frightened by the leeches on the door and the terrace, and later she endured her fear and disgusting them.

She looked at the drain, and the drain hole on the terrace was blocked.

"I got blocked in the middle of the night. The smell outside was very smelly. It made me unable to sleep. I came out to block the drainage hole in the dark." Shao's father looked scared.

Qiao Qingqing smiled, "Fortunately, my dad blocked it, otherwise the leech might have crawled in through this hole and climbed the terrace."

Shao's mother dressed Shao Shengfei and walked over and said, "It's strange that this kind of thing likes to grow in the water. Why has the roof climbed so much here but it's the eighth floor."

"Isn't it flooded the sixth floor, and the eighth floor is considered the second floor."

Shao's mother glared at Shao's father, "It's strange that we didn't plant the land when we were in our hometown. These lees grow in the water."

Qiao Qingqing said, "In this situation, everything can happen. It's okay. Our house is well sealed everywhere, so we are not afraid of these things." What is the leech who likes to climb buildings? In the future, cockroaches can fly, and they can fly from the first floor to the third floor in one breath.

Diseases are not only transmitted by water, but also these creatures are the culprits.

"That's right, then I'll feel at ease. Let's go downstairs. I'll make breakfast. Have you gotten up?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll call him, I can't make breakfast without him." Shao's mother hurried downstairs. When Shao's father saw Qiao Qingqing tilting his head up and looking at the glass wall, he called her down together.

"Qingqing, you still watch it, don't you think it's scary."

"I want to catch these leeches." Lips can be used as medicinal materials. In her eyes, these lees are still disgusting, but she tried to replace the image of medicinal materials she had prepared in her mind, so her eyes were not so uncomfortable.

"Ah," Shao's father was shocked, "What's the use of catching this? It's so scary. It's going to bite people."

"It can be used as medicinal materials. What Dr. Wei taught me before, Dad, can it be cured by bruises and injuries." Qiao Qingqing didn't tell Shao's father that it was complicated. Just the words "bruises and injuries" were enough to make Shao's father change his mind instantly.

"That's really a good thing to catch. Dad, you won't do it." Shao's father was ready to go back to the attic to find tools.

Shortly after digging, nearby leeches began to wriggle towards the drain. Shao's father took a stick and placed it at the drain. When the leeches climbed up, he shook it down into the bucket, which was held by Qiao Qingqing.

When Shao Shengan got up and came to find Qiao Qingqing, he saw her and Shao's father cooperating with him to catch leeches.

The thing really shook his heart when he looked at it. He looked away and said, "What are you doing to grab this thing?"

"Qingqing said that it can be used as medicinal materials to treat bruises and injuries. It's not so good. It's too wasteful to not catch it. Oh, it's so fat."

So fat, listening to his father describe the leech in a surprise and happy tone, Shao Sheng'an was so amused and crying.

"I'll do it, Qingqing, give me the bucket. Mom wants to make breakfast. You can help me take the things for her and I'll put them in the loft bedroom."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and gave him the bucket, pretending to pick up things in the bedroom, and went downstairs to help cook.

Qiao Songzhi also got up and helped watch Shao Shengfei. Qiao Qingqing and Shao's mother cook together.

After seeing the leeches, Shao's mother was disgusted and had no appetite. "Your mother was about to go up and see, but I stopped her. I told her not to watch it, it was so disgusting."

"Then I won't cook porridge today, just make some hand-catch cakes to eat."

Qiao Qingqing unscrewed the gas stove, she fryed the eggs first, then turned the heat to low heat, and put it in the pancake crust. Shao's mother couldn't do this, so she went to wash lettuce, cut ham, and said with a smile, "You young people will make these things. They look weird and taste quite fragrant."

"Mom, there is also a box of braised beef, you can cut it together."

The final product is a very rich hand-catch cake with meat and vegetables.

"The tomato sauce is delicious, sour and sweet." Qiao Songzhi was very satisfied.

"I think this yellow sauce is delicious, what is this sauce?" Shao's father asked.

Shao Sheng'an glanced at "Mayonnaise."

Each person grabbed the cake with one hand and drank a box of hot pure milk, and his stomach was filled. After breakfast, Shao's father couldn't wait to continue catching leeches. Shao Shengfei was not afraid of such things and shouted for help, but in the end he could only let him go.

"Then I'll go downstairs to see the situation." Shao Sheng'an said.

The cheerful atmosphere disappeared as Shao Shengfei went upstairs. Shao's mother looked uneasily in the direction of the balcony, took a look, withdrew her gaze, and took another look.
