In fact, the mayor may be catching blind at this time. Su Yiqing is not a big leader, so where can he get any definite news, but it is like the psychology of people who will not let duckweed go when they are drowning. , everyone is unwilling to let go.
"My brother may not have any reliable news..."
Su Aobai put down the bowl, and faced the eagerly looking eyes of the villagers, he didn't say anything.
"Well, I'll go to my brother's unit today to see if there's any new news."
By the way, think again, what other materials can be collected? A few days before the blackout, hard currencies such as cash, gold and silver still had value in circulation. After a long time, everyone discovered that the blackout may be a long-standing status quo. Some of the small shops in the country were all closed, and the large business centers were also controlled by local governments, strictly controlling the daily purchase share of each person.
At that time, the value of cash, gold and silver was negligible.
Kong Yao thought so too, just before eating, she packed a lunch for her husband, and asked him to try the braised chicken nuggets made by his baby brother himself.
"That would be wonderful."
When Su Aobai and Kong Yao agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were free to talk about irrelevant things.
"Aunt Cauliflower is more open-minded. My family has been thinking about the power outage and no signal for the past two days. This morning, I forgot to feed the chickens and ducks. My chickens and ducks are starving. This made the group of little beasts feel more at ease, they usually chatter and bump into the cages, making people uncomfortable, I think they should kill some of them some other day and eat them."
A man about Deng Caihua's age pointed at the two plates of chicken on their dinner table and joked.
"Who says it's not? It wasn't so troublesome to raise these animals in the past, but now it's good. They bark during the day and bark at night, and the noisy people can't sleep well. Hey, it's strange to say that Aunt Cauliflower's family also raises a lot of chickens. Duck, I didn’t hear them making noise.”
Speaking of the poultry raised at home, everyone was full of anger.
Raising chickens and ducks was not so troublesome in previous years. Not only did they have to be fed, but they also had to be prevented from escaping. These animals seemed to have become violent, and they couldn’t be locked up unless they were locked in cages. Everyone was thinking in their hearts. Don't just kill and eat.
It's okay for people who only raise a few, but how can they be willing to raise dozens or hundreds of them and plan to sell them in the market during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that the chickens and ducks of Deng Caihua's family seem to be very peaceful now, it makes everyone's heart move, and they want to know how Deng Caihua raises the chickens and ducks.
"I don't know about it. How I raised it before, and how I raise it now."
When Deng Caihua heard what everyone said, her heart tightened, because she thought of the weirdness in herself.
But when she thought about it again, the little animals she met outside all wanted to jump at her like crazy, but the chickens and ducks at home were always good, and they didn't go crazy, which shows that it might not be all her problem .
"Maybe it's because the two kids in my family like them. From time to time, we dig some earthworms and snails to feed them, so we can raise them as relatives."
Deng Caihua thought of a reason at random.
"Uh-huh."
The two children who were slurping the chicken soup swallowed a mouthful of the fragrant chicken soup, nodded sharply, and when they grinned, the corners of their mouths were still glistening.
They love (eating) those chickens and ducklings in the backyard, delicious!
Everyone didn't care about Deng Caihua's words. Their children would occasionally dig earthworms and touch snails to feed the family's chickens and ducks, but it didn't delay these crazy little animals pecking the back of their hands when they were feeding.
"Isn't it because the satellite has disappeared because the signal is gone now? Well, why is the satellite gone? Is there something else we don't know? Small animals like chickens, ducks and dogs go crazy because of some strange reason? Two Bai, you should also ask your brother about it, and ask him, besides animals, people will also be affected, and any strange things will happen."
This time it was a woman who looked a few years younger than Deng Caihua who spoke this time. This woman was called Jiang Yao'er. The man she married lived not far from Su's house, so he could be called a close neighbor.
Jiang Yaoer is a thin woman with a small stature, but she has a big face, which makes her head-to-body ratio a little out of balance. Unlike Deng Caihua, who is famous for being hot and spicy, Jiang Yaoer is a well-known kind person in the village. , together with the man she married, Wang Dakui, are kind and friendly, and they seldom argue with others, and the couple are warm-hearted. They are very willing to help if anyone needs help, and they are very popular in the village. .
But there is one thing that makes people feel sorry for such a kind couple, that is, they gave birth to a son who is too honest, Wang Jianbo.
Speaking of which, Wang Jianbo is older than Su Aobai, and his academic performance was even better than Su Aobai's. Unfortunately, he made a mistake in the college entrance examination and was only admitted to an ordinary undergraduate college. Too honest, it has been more than ten years since I graduated, and I still have a monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan.
Those young people who graduated from junior high school in the village went out to work in factories, and now there are thousands or even tens of thousands of them every month.
Because of his boring temper and lack of money, Wang Jianbo has not been able to marry a wife until now. He is in his thirties, and the villagers can't help sighing when they mention him. Wang Jianbo, who wants to have a good face as a couple, lamented the impermanence of life.
Jiang Yao'er and Wang Dakui also want to have grandchildren, but they can't do anything for their son. They can only rely on their good popularity and cheekily beg everyone to introduce some suitable partners to their son. Over the years, their The requirements have been lowered from the first marriage to the second marriage. I am afraid that it will not be long before even the second marriage with children is acceptable.
Su Aobai looked at Jiang Yao'er, thinking about the other's question just now, and then looking at the other's dodging eyes, he always felt that there was something in the words.
Could it be that someone in her family has changed?
The original body was concerned about his own one-acre three-point land, and many of his later memories also revolved around the life of his father's top relatives and his daughter Susu who were enslaved by him. For the people in the village and later in the village Development, in fact, Su Aobai didn't know the details.
But one thing is certain, the more mutated people in their village, the more secure the village's safety and interests.
Of course, in the memory of the original body, there are also many conflicts caused by mutants.
Su Aobai's thoughts flashed by, and in the eyes of others, he nodded after Jiang Yaoer finished speaking, expressing that he would ask Su Yiqing about the situation.
Deng Caihua might also have been inspired, wondering if she would tell her second child to inquire with her eldest brother later, whether the changes that happened to her were also due to this sudden change.
Many strange thoughts appeared in Deng Caihua's mind, and then she shivered unconsciously.
*****
"How about it, did Erbai agree to go to his brother's place to inquire about the situation?"
As soon as Jiang Yao'er reached the door, she was hurriedly dragged back into the house by her man, and directly closed the door tightly after entering the house.
Apart from the couple of them, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties in the room. He was dressed in a strange way. It was clearly autumn and it wasn't very cold yet, but he was already wearing winter clothes. She was also wrapped in a thick quilt.
If so, the man wrapped in a quilt is still shivering from time to time. From a distance, hoarfrost still hangs on the tip of his hair and eyelashes. When he looks closer, he finds that it seems to be some ice crystals, just like those who just came out of the cold storage. It seemed to be released after being frozen for several hours.
"Yes, how about Xiaobo, is it still cold? Do you want to add another quilt and turn up the stove?"
Seeing his son's "strange illness", Jiang Yao'er panicked, how can such a good person look like an iceman?
They had never heard of such a disease before, and the couple were honest and timid, so they dared not speak out at all, for fear that it was not an ordinary disease, and if it spread, it would bring big troubles to the family.
"No, no, I can bear it."
Wang Jianbo said in a vibrato while curling up with the quilt.
I don’t know when the electricity will be restored. If there is no electricity in the future, firewood and coal will become scarce living supplies. There is no heating in this area in winter, but it doesn’t mean that the winter here is not cold. The coldest place in the past Some days ago, everyone either turned on the air conditioner or burned the stove by themselves. Now that there is no electricity, the only way is to turn on the stove.
Wang Jianbo knows that there are still some unused briquettes at home from last year, and the price of briquettes will definitely increase this year. The family conditions are limited, so let's save some.
Jiang Yao'er also knew the situation at home, and seeing his son said he could bear it, he could only look at his son with tears in his heart, and then added another blanket for him.
Now I just hope that the second child of Su's family can find out some reliable news.
*****
At this time, an emergency meeting was being held in the city.
To be precise, since the blackout began, all kinds of meetings in the city have not stopped, because there is no signal, and there is no way to communicate with each other. Some leading cadres and key members with relatively important positions are even asked not to leave the unit and are ready to standby.
But the meeting held now is rather peculiar, because the subject sounds a bit far-fetched—foreigners! A person with a special ability appears! This insider information that only a few people knew before the blackout began could not be concealed completely. In order to deal with the disappearance of satellites, power outages and other situations, the news of other people could not be concealed, nor could it be concealed.
It turned out that long before the blackout, hospitals in various places had received many special patients.
Their illnesses are very strange, some have increased frequency of sweating for no reason, some have begun to absorb the metal around them, and some have high fevers of 40 to 50 degrees...
These diseases were just "sicknesses" before, but at the moment of the blackout, these "sicknesses" began to materialize.
People who sweat can try to control the frequency, speed and location of the water, people who can absorb metal can try to control the shape of metal, people with high fever start to get angry...
All kinds of signs began to show that this didn't seem to be a disease, but the stimulation of a special ability!
Yiren is their current tentative name for this type of person. When they learned of the existence of this type of person, the entire conference room was in an uproar. Among them, there are many people who have read a few doomsday novels. Suddenly thought of two words, doomsday!
Does the appearance of supernatural beings mean that the disappearance of satellites, water and power outages all signal the end of the world?
As a small backbone, Su Yiqing barely squeezed into the corner of the meeting room. He endured the uneasiness and panic in his heart, thinking about how to inform his family of the news.
If it is really the end, then the family must be better prepared.
There is an old lady in the family who just had a serious illness! (My wife is the best)
There are also younger brothers in the family. Although they are already fathers, they are still mothers! (brother hangs up)
There is also a wife in the family, but the wife is a good wife, but women suffer the most in troubled times!
There is also a little niece at home, who is only three and a half years old this year! (She feeds the chickens and ducks, and the chickens and ducks feed her)
There is also a son at home...
Su Yiqing shook his head, thought for a while, and he was the only one in the family who could really be relied on.
No, he can't panic, he has to support his family in troubled times!
Su Yiqing clenched his fists, and suddenly became envious of those strange people in the meeting content, if only he could have supernatural powers.
