Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 60 Life
As soon as I stepped out of the house, suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, and the freezing white fog rushed towards me like a tide. This cold wind was like a basin of ice water mixed with ice pouring down from the top of my head, making me feel bone-chilling cold in an instant. The whole world seemed to be stuffed into a huge ball of cotton, which fluttered down densely and was swept around by the wind.
Going up the mountain in the heavy snow is a very dangerous thing, but this does not pose a problem for Jing Yao. There were extremely cold weather conditions at the end of the world, and zombies are not afraid of the cold. They will still chase people when they see them, and if you don't run, you will die.
Jing Yao has mastered the use of his supernatural powers. He used his supernatural powers to create an energy shield to block the wind and snow, and moved forward at a very fast speed, and soon arrived at the mine.
Overnight, the mountains had turned white. The vast sky and earth were all the same color, making it difficult to tell where you were coming from and where you were going. Relying on his excellent sense of direction, Jing Yao headed in the direction he was familiar with.
When Jing Yao arrived, he was stunned by the scene in front of him - the miners were curled up and squatting on the ground, like a group of giant potatoes. They gathered around the fire and kept warm by the fire. Although the material conditions here are difficult, Jing Yao has been trying his best to improve them, especially in winter, when the sufficient supply of coal has solved the heating problem and everyone does not need to worry about it. Seeing that everyone is safe and sound, Jing Yao finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, why are you here?"
"Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
"Boss, this is too dangerous!"
"And with so many things."
When they saw Jing Yao, everyone was happy but also worried about him. It was too risky to risk his life to come up in such a heavy snowstorm.
Looking at the supplies Jing Yao brought for them, they were all canned foods which were quite heavy, as well as some cotton quilts which were not heavy but took up a lot of space. How did they transport so many things up the mountain?
When all the miners saw Jing Yao like this, they thought he was a magical man who could do things that normal people couldn't do. Although no one said it, they all admired him very much in their hearts.
"These things are for you to survive the winter. We didn't expect it to snow suddenly. So don't go mining for now. Wait until the snow stops and melts. You all have worked so hard for a long time, so take a break now." Jing Yao asked them to move all the things in, and said with a smile as he looked at their dark faces.
They were not so dark originally, but because they had been working in the mines all the time, even if they washed themselves clean after coming out, they had to go down again, so they gradually became darker and darker.
Seeing him say this, many people felt uneasy. They felt ashamed that they did nothing but ate so well and dressed so well.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ding Chun. Seeing everyone looking at him like this, Ding Chun understood what everyone meant and took the initiative to say, "We can still go down to mine even if it snows. It's not difficult. It's warmer down there."
Jing Yao shook his head and refused, "It's better not to, at least not now."
The snow fell unexpectedly and was too heavy. Jing Yao was worried that something might go wrong. To be honest, the security measures in his mine were not as good as modern ones, so there were more risk factors. He still believed that safety should be the most important thing.
"There are many places in the large mine outside that can be dug without going very deep, and we have built support frames with wood, so there is no worry about collapse."
"Yes, and we have also built the support frame below, exactly as you requested, and it is very sturdy."
"We always wear iron hats when we go down there, and there have never been any accidents."
Seeing that Jing Yao still disagreed, everyone started to speak up. Seeing how hardworking and serious everyone was, Jing Yao couldn't help but sigh, what a simple and kind-hearted working people.
Jing Yao looked at Ding Chun, and when he saw Ding Chun nod, he said, "You can work in the outer area, but you must be careful and pay attention to safety. This is more important than anything else. Also, do not work more than seven hours a day. If there is an emergency, you must deal with it in time and contact me."
"It's the boss."
Jing Yao nodded with satisfaction. He left Ding Chun a lot of medicines that could treat some common diseases, as well as some external injury medicines and half a ginseng in case of accidents.
Ding Chun's hands were shaking when he received the piece of ginseng. He didn't expect that he would be given such a valuable item. But Jing Yao didn't think so. Things are valuable only when they are used. They have so many medicinal materials, if they are not used, they will grow insects.
When Jing Yao went back in the snow, Wen Qun had already gotten up and prepared a table of dishes. Because he didn't know when he would be back, Wen Qun prepared hot pot. Jing Yao had said before that winter was the best season for hot pot. Now that it was snowing so hard outside, it just fulfilled his wish.
Today we have not only pork but also some fresh mutton, which was sent by Uncle Wen Luo. Because the weather was so cold that many sheep died, they were simply killed. The same was true for the farm. Although some pigs were guaranteed to survive, many pigs were still frozen, so they were simply killed.
The rich aroma of hot pot filled the air, as if to fill the whole house. However, at this moment, the wind was howling and the snow was flying outside. This bad weather made people feel daunted. Even if there was wind, the strong smell of hot pot didn't seem to drift too far; after all, on such a cold day, who would care if someone smelled this tempting aroma?
In such a cold season, it is the best time to enjoy a steaming hot mutton hotpot. Not only can you feel warm and satisfied, but you can also add all kinds of your favorite vegetables into the pot to add taste and nutrition. Wen Qun skillfully cut some leftover beef from last time and put it into the pot to stew together. In comparison, although both are meat, the taste of beef is indeed slightly better.
"It's a pity that the government has banned the consumption of beef." Wen Qun couldn't help but sigh, revealing a trace of regret in his words. Seeing this, Jing Yao hurriedly comforted him, "There are restrictions now because the number is small. When more are raised in the future, we will naturally be able to enjoy it at will. Let's raise more next year."
After listening to this, Wen Qun nodded repeatedly, expressing his expectations for the future.
I hope the weather won't get worse. Otherwise, in such severe cold weather, not only will humans be unable to resist the cold and face life-threatening dangers, but those poor animals will also be hard to escape the fate of freezing to death. Whether it is extreme cold or unbearable heat, it is not an ideal environment for the reproduction and survival of organisms. I just don't know if these animals can adapt to the current unpredictable climate? If they can't adapt to this change, I'm afraid that more and more species will become extinct. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel worried.
After eating and drinking, because the temperature in the house was high and because he was worried that Wen Qun could not adapt to the sudden change in climate, Jing Yao used all the heating methods in the house, so the temperature was sufficient. But because he had just eaten hot pot, he was even a little hot now, so after resting for a while after dinner, Wen Qun wanted to eat canned food.
Jing Yao was tidying up the kitchen. They had always been successful in this way: one person would cook and the other would take the initiative to wash the dishes. Although they were not big things, participating together would always make people feel better and not get tired of the trivial things in life.
Wen Qun lay on the sofa and sighed: "When I was young, winter was very cold, but it was rare to see snow. We were always looking forward to it. Sometimes it snowed a little at night, but it was gone in the morning. If we wanted to see it, we had to get up very early."
Jing Yao asked while wiping the table: "Can you get up?"
Wen Qun wiggled her feet: "It's OK. Every time, my father gets up very early and wakes us up. My eldest sister doesn't like to watch the snow, so she doesn't join us. My eldest brother likes it, but he likes to stay in bed and is always scolded by my father. My younger brothers and sisters want to come out to watch, but my mother won't allow it, so most of the time it's just me and my father watching."
Jing Yao: "How did your mother treat you at that time?"
Wen Qun ate a lychee and tilted his head to think for a while: "I don't remember. Most of the time, my memory only has my father and brother. My mother always seems to stand aside and watch us silently. I can't walk over, and she won't come over either."
Wen Qun turned to look at Jing Yao and said, "What about you? Do you like winter? Do you like snow?"
Jing Yao smiled and said, "I liked it when I was young, but I didn't like it as much after I started working. Later, I didn't care about it anymore. I just lived like that all year round."
Anyway, we are chased by zombies in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Although the zombies move much slower in winter, the road is slippery due to heavy snow. Sometimes, if you step on it, you will fall flat on your face. People cannot move quickly, so it is no different from summer.
After the two chatted for a while, there was a sudden noise outside. The originally biting cold wind was howling, but now it seemed to suddenly intensify. Wen Qun was curious and reached out to open the curtains to look out. The night was as dark as ink, but he could still vaguely see the heavy snow falling like goose feathers. He couldn't help but wonder, how deep will the snow pile up when he wakes up tomorrow morning?
A strong wind suddenly blew outside the house, and Wen Qun hurriedly got up and hurriedly checked whether the windows inside and outside the house were closed. After confirming that everything was safe, he returned to the room with peace of mind.
Jing Yao placed the sorted clothes on the bed, then picked up the dirty clothes basket, took out a few dirty clothes and said, "I'll take them to the other courtyard to wash them while there's still water available. In a few days, even if we pump water from underground, the river surface will probably freeze into ice, and then it won't be that convenient to wash clothes."
The room was warm with a stove, but outside it was freezing cold. The river was certainly frozen.
Nowadays, almost all factories and farms are in a state of suspension. Without exception, people are staying in their houses to rest, doing nothing, as if they have entered a long vacation.
At this time, Wen Qun made a suggestion: "We can let them study the recipes more, improve their cooking skills, and take the opportunity to improve everyone's meals. After all, it is winter, which is suitable for nourishing the body."
Jing Yao smiled and agreed, "In fact, the food in the factory cafeteria is not that hard to swallow. Especially the auntie in the small cafeteria, her cooking skills are quite good, and the ingredients she chooses are fresh and taste good. But compared to you, there is still some gap. Let me communicate with them and let them practice more."
During the coldest season, people's desire for food becomes stronger, as if only delicious food can resist the biting cold. Wen Qun has always been concerned about Jing Yao's diet, fearing that he doesn't eat well enough. Therefore, whenever he is at home, he always prepares an unusually rich meal, and even makes a variety of delicious breakfasts for Jing Yao to choose from. Jing Yao happily thought that fortunately he was not the kind of person who would gain weight after eating a few bites, otherwise, if he followed Wen Qun's feeding method, he would gain weight in just one winter.
Although all other work has been suspended now, there is one thing that has just officially started, and that is the newly built academy.
Because the academy had just been built and all the facilities were not ready yet, it snowed heavily. Jing Yao had to lend out half of the place to accommodate many villagers whose houses had collapsed. As a result, there is only one classroom in the academy that can be used, and all the students are staying in that one classroom.
However, in this cold winter, not many people can come, and there is just enough space in one classroom. The class now is the enlightenment stage, and the main thing is to teach them some basic Thousand Character Classic. Kang Yinian teaches personally, and the students sit on the benches they brought with them, holding a wooden stick and writing and drawing on the ground. There are also many stoves burning next to them to prevent their hands and feet from getting frozen.
When it wasn't snowing a few days ago, Wen Qun would come over to check on the kids when he had nothing to do at home. But now that it's snowing, he can't come. Instead, Jing Yao came over to check on the kids and found that they were all very well behaved and were studying very seriously. The teacher also taught very well, so he stopped paying attention to them.
Although it was snowing, the crops were still there. Many villagers braved the heavy snow to check on the crops. Those who had just moved in were even worse. Not only were their bodies frozen like ice cubes every day, but they had already developed large patches of frostbite on their palms and soles! These frostbite were not only red and swollen, but in some places they even cracked into deep cuts, as if they were cut by a sharp blade. Some people's hands and feet were so swollen that they couldn't even make a simple fist, and it was even harder to bend their fingers.
However, despite such hardships, they still persevered. Compared with the past, now they can at least sit indoors and enjoy the comfort brought by the warm and pleasant fire. Therefore, they cherish this hard-won opportunity and try their best to overcome all difficulties.
When seeing Jing Yao's hands without any trace of frostbite, Kang Yinian sighed: "As expected, handsome people are different! We all live in the same climate, but his hands and feet are safe and sound, without any damage."
After hearing his sigh and envy, Jing Yao looked down at his hands and thought to himself, "The anti-cracking cream I apply every morning and evening is not in vain, and the thick gloves are not useless either. If my hands were covered with frostbite, I'm afraid the Qun Qun would be even more reluctant to let me go out."
