Chapter 1274: Living in the days of natural disaster (2)
Not long after settling in, the dean himself fell ill from exhaustion.
At this moment, one of the children hiding in the cellar was named Xu Nuan. Her biological parents drove their RV to the orphanage.
Xu Nuan, oh, changed her name to Xiang Nuan after meeting her biological parents. Her brother is Xiang Yang, the male protagonist of this apocalyptic novel. He was reborn. Before his rebirth, he just met his sister whom he lost when he was young. Unfortunately, the brother and sister could not escape.
Thick smoke from wildfires after a month of continuous high temperatures.
The first thing I did when I came back was to ask my parents to come to the orphanage to pick up my sister.
In this life, he vowed to let his sister live a good life.
However, because the dean's fever persisted, the procedures for recognizing the child could not be completed for the time being. In addition, their son repeatedly told them on the phone to go home as soon as they received their sister, and they rushed back overnight and not to stay. The couple simply picked up the dean and other children.
.
It was raining heavily at that time, and the cellar was almost flooded by the rainwater flowing in. Xiang Nuan's parents did not wait for a moment, and left after receiving the person.
Xiang Nuan was immersed in the joy and excitement of being reunited with his biological parents. The other children were afraid of being left behind and rushed to get into the RV in a panic. They did not expect that the unconscious original body and three others were still lying in the stairwell.
A child who was left in the kitchen to prepare medicine for the dean’s mother and Yuan Shen.
When they arrived at a safe place, Xiang Nuan found that her favorite little brother was not there. When they counted the number of people, they found that four children were missing.
But at this time, the road leading to the orphanage was already a sea of water, and many keyboard warriors spread rumors on the Internet about rainwater being poisonous. Many people believed it and started frantically buying supplies. Xiang Nuan's family was no exception.
There was no time to go back and check if the four children were okay.
Under the influence of the antipyretic injection, the dean was awake, but his body was weak. Seeing that Nuan's parents were so busy and he couldn't drive, he felt really helpless.
The government's search and rescue team has been out rescuing people, but there are so many people waiting for rescue that they are overwhelmed. After receiving a report, they usually send a drone to check and confirm that rescue is needed before rushing over.
The four children were probably hiding at the time, and the drone hadn't captured any trace of them, so they thought it was more serious than anything.
In fact, the original person survived the high fever, but she, who was already mentally retarded, became completely mentally retarded after the high fever.
The other three children, headed by Ning Jin, dragged the original body and stayed in the orphanage with extremely limited supplies for a month. They finally waited for the flood to recede, but then the extreme cold came.
The temperature dropped by more than 30 degrees overnight, and the northern hemisphere went from summer to winter overnight.
Although the low temperature did not cause the plague to spread after the flood, it was really cold.
The key is that the temperature is still dropping, dropping by one or two degrees every day. Gradually, heavy snow falls all over the country and even on the southern islands. In the north, the snow is said to be more than three meters deep, causing houses to collapse and countless casualties.
I heard on the radio that shopping malls, second-floor underground parking lots of residential buildings, and underground air-raid shelters for war preparations are open to the public. Those who do not have windproof and warm conditions at home can go there to avoid disasters.
The three children, headed by Ning Jin, who were hiding in a relatively shallow cellar and still shivering in winter quilts, learned from the news that the underground air-raid shelter in the north of the city was not far from the orphanage, so they decided to go there. Their IQs had regressed to where they were when they were one or two years old.
The body is ignorant and agrees.
But before leaving, a group of vicious gangsters broke into the orphanage. When they saw four children, they seemed to see delicious meat.
Although Ning Jin is young, she is agile and smart. She could have escaped originally, but in order to save the original three people, she was unable to escape from the clutches of these demons...
"Click——"
The door to the stairwell was opened from the outside, and a cold wind with raindrops came in, interrupting Xu Yin's meditation.
She put away the system panel and looked towards the door.
"Yinyin, are you awake?" Xu Dong tiptoed in with two hands holding soup. When he saw Xu Yin sitting on the bed with watery eyes, he immediately grinned and turned towards Ning Jin who came in behind.
Report the good news to Xu Xi, "Brother Ning, Xixi, and Yin Yin are awake!"
"Great!" Xu Xi just shed tears because of fear, pouting her mouth and her eyes were red. When she heard that Xu Yin had woken up, she happily ran to the bed with tears in her eyes, looked up at Xu Yin, and stretched out her little hand to reach for it.
Xu Yin's forehead, "Yinyin, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Let me touch your forehead. When I was sick, the dean's mother touched my forehead like this. If it doesn't feel hot after touching it, it means I'm cured."
Xu Yin: "..."
Facing a four or five-year-old girl who wanted to touch her forehead with concern, I really couldn't refuse.
He had no choice but to lower his head in cooperation and let her touch him.
However, when the little girl mentioned the dean's mother, her mouth tightened. At the same time, she tried her best to hold back her tears, trying to prove that she was not a squeamish person who couldn't cry so hard that she choked and hiccuped:
"Uh! The dean's mother is gone... uh! Everyone is gone... uh! There are only four of us left. Brother Ning said... uh! It's up to us to send more money in the future, Yin Yin... uh! You don't want to
Afraid!"
Xu Yin; "..."
Sister, you are not afraid, but you are the one who is afraid, right?
Even though I shouldn’t, I feel like laughing for some reason.
Seeing that Xu Xi was about to cry, Xu Dong blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault! I heard the sound of the car but didn't even go out to take a look. If only I had gone out to take a look. Someone from the city welfare home must have known about it."
The dean’s mother is sick, so I came to take her to the hospital for treatment.”
Xu Yin wanted to touch his head and comfort the little guy, but she stretched out her hand and found that her little arms were too short to reach him.
"..."
At this time, Ning Jin closed the door and came over. Seeing Xu Yin's confused look, she smiled and touched her head: "Don't be afraid, Yin Yin, the dean's mother will come back after she recovers."
With that said, he took the medicine bowl from Xu Dong's hand and fed it to Xu Yin's mouth: "Yin Yin, be good, drink the medicine, and I will reward you with sweet toffee."
With her left hand, she took out a white rabbit toffee that had been hidden for some time and looked a little deformed from her pocket, and stuffed it into Xu Yin's hand.
Clearly feeling two burning eyes as the White Rabbit toffee fell on her hand, Xu Yin said: "..."
He drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, peeled off the candy wrapper, broke it in two, stuffed half of it into the mouth of five-year-old Xu Xi, and handed the other half to five-and-a-half-year-old Xu Dong.
The two little guys were flattered, but after seeing Ning Jin's expression, they quickly wanted to return the toffee to Xu Yin.
Looking at Xu Dong's dark hands and the toffee spit out from Xu Xi's mouth, Xu Yin turned away and said, "No."
"Yinyin, you don't like toffee? I'll have some hard candy for you next time." Seeing Xu Yin insisting not to eat it, Xu Dong happily stuffed half of the toffee into his mouth, "It's so sweet!
The White Rabbit toffee is the best toffee I’ve ever tasted!”
Xu Xi tilted her head: "But Yinyin used to love eating toffee. Is this candy too hard? Can I melt it for you?"
She hurriedly stuffed it back into her mouth, wanting to wait until the toffee softened a bit before feeding it to Xu Yin.
Xu Yin: "..."
Sisters, what are you doing?
He quickly said: "I don't want to eat sweets, I want to eat."
It turned out that I had been falling asleep during the high fever and hadn't eaten any rice. I was really hungry now.
"It turns out that Yin Yin is hungry. No wonder she is so good at taking medicine."
Ning Jin either praised or coaxed her, as if she were a three-year-old child.
It was obvious that he was only six years and a few months old, but he gave her a sense of love and affection from an old father.
Xu Dong finished chewing the toffee and swallowed with unsatisfied content: "Brother Ning, I'm hungry too, what should we eat? The dean's mother was worried that rats would steal the rice, so she hung the rice bags on the hanging beam, so we couldn't reach it!"
"We can climb the ladder and get it! I know where the ladder is!" Xu Xi jumped up and down happily, sweeping away the fear he had just felt.
"I also know where it is." Xu Dong said with a frown, "It's in the cellar! But the cellar is flooded and we can't get down!"
"Then what should we do!" Xu Xi held her cheek and started to worry.
Ning Jin thought for a while and said, "I have a way."
