Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. It has just entered June and the outdoor temperature has already reached an astonishing forty degrees.

This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon for Dan City, which is located in the north. Record high temperatures are being set every day.

Many southern cities have already topped 50 degrees.

The government has issued high temperature warnings many times and called on the public to avoid traveling during high temperature periods.

At the same time, a lot of heat stroke first aid tips were released. We have introduced heart-warming policies such as door-to-door condolences for lonely elderly people who are inconvenient to go out.

The school has already been closed due to the high temperature. Work stoppages have also occurred one after another in various places.

But there are always many jobs that people need to continue to work. For example, Xiang Chi's original unit-the hospital.

Nowadays, many people go to the hospital every day because of heat stroke. Fortunately, the symptoms are mild and they only need to stay in water for a few days.

Unlucky enough, procrastination turns into heat stroke, which can be very painful. Heat stroke can cause multiple organ failure and has a high mortality rate.

And the continuous high temperature weather is also very unfriendly to people with underlying diseases. Especially people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.

In the past few days, Xiang Chi heard the sound of ambulances whizzing by four or five times in the community.

Yesterday, it seemed that the neighbor next door was taken away by ambulance in the middle of the night. Don't know what happened.

The residents next door are a family of three. The male owner is Wang Jianye and the female owner is Cai Shujuan. They are in their early forties and run a construction company. They have a son named Wang Zhao who has just entered high school.

But on the fourth day, Xiang Chi knew the whole story.

On this day, Xiang Chi was cleaning up her room on the second floor when she heard Xiang's mother calling her from downstairs.

Xiang Ma: "Nanny, the neighbor is here, I guess he has something to ask you!"

Xiang Chi was a little confused when he heard that, who would have the time to visit on this hot day?

When I looked up from the stairs, I found it was Sister Cai next door. At this moment, he was looking up at himself hopefully.

He quickly walked a few steps downstairs, and when he got closer, Xiang Chi realized that Sister Cai's face was very ugly, her eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, there were two black circles under her eyes, and there were two blisters at the corners of her mouth.

Watching Xiang Chi go downstairs, Cai Shujuan took a few steps, took Xiang Chi's hand and said anxiously:

"Xiao Xiang, I'm sorry to bother you. I saw you posted a message about buying a house in the community before in the owner group. I came here just to ask you, do you want to buy a house? Are you still buying it now?"

Xiang Chi looked at the haggard Cai Shujuan and helped her sit down on the sofa.

Xiang Chi: "I'm not buying it, I'm asking for it for a friend. What's the matter, Sister Cai? Is your house selling? If you have anything to do, tell me slowly. Come on, have a glass of water."

Feeling Xiang Chi's kindness, Cai Shujuan, who had seen too much human kindness in the past few days, held back her tears, rubbed the cup of warm water, and spoke eloquently.

It turned out that the person who was taken away by the ambulance that day was Wang Jianye from next door.

During the day, the company had some urgent situations that needed to be dealt with, so the two of them were supposed to go together.

But the weather was too hot, and it was the hottest time of the day at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Jianye was worried that Cai Shujuan couldn't bear it, so he didn't let her go out and went out by himself.

When he came back in the evening, Wang Jianye's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely. Cai Shujuan wanted to take him to the hospital for a checkup.

Wang Jianye thought he just had heatstroke and there was no need to go to the hospital. Just say drink some water.

I felt a little tight in my chest at night and thought it was because I was tired. Unexpectedly, I had a heart attack in the middle of the night!

By the time Cai Shujuan noticed something was wrong, Wang Jianye was already in shock.

After being sent to the hospital, he went directly to the emergency room. After ten hours of rescue, Cai Shujuan only took a quick look and Wang Jianye was pushed into the CCU.

Then came the sky-high bills. Most of their savings were spent on the project, and they could only take out three or four hundred thousand.

And this money can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for Wang Jianye's current situation.

Wang Jianye's myocardial infarction was also caused by heatstroke. What's more serious is that now not only the heart has problems, but other organs are also damaged to varying degrees.

Even after rescue, the prognosis is not optimistic and a lot of money is needed.

Relatives advised Cai Shujuan to give up. If she continued, she would lose both money and people. But Cai Shujuan gritted her teeth and insisted on continuing the treatment.

Wang Jianye and Cai Shujuan have been married for 20 years. They also experienced hardships in the early years. The couple supported each other and stayed together through thick and thin.

Others would get promoted and get rich in exchange for wives, but after Wang Jianye became prosperous, he focused on his career and treated Cai Shujuan the same way, even better than before.

There were temptations with ulterior motives, but Wang Jianye sternly rejected them all. Cai Shujuan saw all this and kept it in her heart.

No matter what others say, Cai Shujuan insists on treatment. If the money is gone, she can make money again, but the people are gone, but they are really gone.

And now that Wang Jianye is still lying in the hospital, some relatives have begun to inquire about his family's property, both covertly and overtly.

Not to mention that Cai Shujuan wanted to lend money to Wang Jianye to treat his illness, it would be nice if the money was not deducted from her hands.

Cai Shujuan borrowed and borrowed many things, but she had no choice but to sell her house to raise money.

Remembering that Xiang Chi had asked in the real estate group whether there was anyone selling their house, he contacted Xiang Chi with the last glimmer of hope.

But after several phone calls, she couldn't get through, so she was so anxious that she had to come over directly.

Xiang Chi touched his pocket and didn't find his phone. He thought it might have been left in space. No wonder Cai Shujuan couldn't get through.

After comforting Sister Cai for a while, Xiang Chi excused himself to go upstairs to get his cell phone, took it out of the space, and immediately called Xu Tao.

After explaining the situation, Xiang Chi went downstairs and handed the phone to Cai Shujuan, asking her to communicate directly with Xu Tao.

The house next door is the same size as Xiang Chi's house. The house price has increased this year, and the market price is about 2.4 million.

Because she was anxious to make a move and needed the full payment, Cai Shujuan said that she would only need 1.8 million.

Xu Tao had originally intended to buy a house. He had raised another amount of funds to stock up on goods. When he heard that Cai Shujuan was asking such a low price, he immediately made the decision.

She said that if it was convenient for Cai Shujuan, she could handle the transfer in the afternoon.

Cai Shujuan had no reason to disagree and said she would go back to collect her documents immediately.

After Xiang Chi sent Cai Shujuan out of the house, who had thanked her so much, he started searching the Internet for recent news.

People on the Internet didn't take the hot weather seriously at first, but in the past few days they have started to curse it.

Not everyone can stop working. Most of the people in this society are still 996 social animals.

Where do you get your salary if you don't work? What can you eat and drink without a salary? Where does the rent come from? What's more, because of the hot weather and social shutdown, prices are getting higher day by day.

Since the government issued a shutdown order due to the continuous high temperatures, people who work from home can still say that they have a meager salary. Those who are forced to stop working can only rest on their laurels.

Those who have savings spend their savings, while those who don’t have savings can only live with various credit cards and Huabei overdrafts.

Nowadays, there is a lot of scolding on the Internet. Some are scolding the boss and forcing the company to stop work without paying wages.

Some scolded the landlord, saying he was cold-blooded and even raised the rent when the situation was so severe.

Some criticized the government for not doing anything and not controlling the sky-high prices of vegetables and grain.

More often than not, he was scolding the bad weather...

Xiang Chi thought, those who criticize the weather will have many opportunities to do so in the future, but where are they now? The more serious ones are yet to come...
