Chapter 168 Funeral
With the help of modern machinery, this is not a slow process.
The second team took turns driving and manually shoveling the snow.
Driving is effortless, but it’s cold.
Shoveling snow is tiring, but not cold.
So no one is occupying the tractor and everyone takes a turn every half hour.
This will not delay the progress at all, and the progress will not be slow.
On this day, the first road that large vehicles could drive on after the snow disaster started from Gu's garage and extended along the main road to the entrance of the village.
The next step is to clear the road directly into the city from here.
The next day, the same gathering process was followed, with the third team gathering in the Gu family garage.
The first task today is to clear all the snow from the Gu family's garage.
There are several heavy-duty trucks in the Gu family's large garage that can be driven out to load snow.
Since it's time to clean up, let's clean up the entire Gu family garage.
It was Gu Yuan who mentioned this, and no one had any objections.
Everything now is provided by the Gu family, and no one is stupid enough to go against the Gu family.
The clever one took the opportunity to suggest that the Gu family's yard should be cleared together.
What can Gu Yuan say? Of course I agree.
Just like that, the snow in Gu's garage, Gu's house, and Gu Jia's yard was cleared in just one day.
The snow cleared this time needs to be dumped.
The farmland outside the village has become a dumping ground for snow.
The whole area in the village needs to be dug out. With so much snow, we have to find a place to dump it, so farmland becomes the best choice.
On the third day, the fourth team gathered again, right next to the Gu family's garage.
Now the Gu family is the only place without snow in the entire Phoenix Village, so snowmobiles can only stop outside the garage.
The starting point is still the Gu family's garage. This time, we follow the road in front of the Gu family's yard and clear the snow little by little.
After clearing one street, clear another.
When cleaning an occupied household, they will cover the inside and outside and clear the snow in the yard.
One step after another, the current Fenghuang Village is like digging trenches, attacking the enemy step by step.
It took half a month to clear all occupied households and all roads in Fenghuang Village.
After this, the warm paste factory and vegetable planting area in the brigade headquarters can resume normal operations.
Before that, there is one more thing the village needs to do.
A person in the village who claimed to have some knowledge of Feng Shui said that July 2034, 7, would be a good time for a funeral.
On this day, those who lost their lives in this snow disaster will be buried together.
Yesterday, a big pit was dug in the farmland outside the village, and today they will be buried collectively.
Early that morning, all the active people in the village took action spontaneously.
Everyone spontaneously went to the nearest house, covered them with sheets and quilts, dragged out the long-rigid body, and placed it on the snow beside the wall.
They just waited for the Gu family's heavy truck to come and collect them all, and then take them to a big pit outside the village for burial.
While packing and dragging, many people greeted each other: "If I die one day, please bury me like this. Thank you!"
The people who were asked nodded in agreement.
What a harmonious scene.
It's not that the people in Fenghuang Village are so upright, it's just because the village chief gave another generous speech yesterday.
The village chief said: "Folks!
Please let us bury our relatives and friends tomorrow!
They had been lying in that cold room for a month.
A house like that is an ice cellar!
A house like that is like a gate to hell, and you can't even take the road to reincarnation!
The deceased is far away, just to commemorate.
But in this cannibalistic world, their today may be our future!
If you also want to be buried in peace after a certain disaster, tomorrow, please extend your kind hands and help the aunt, uncle, aunt, nephew, and niece next door to bury the body.
We will take them to the mass grave outside the village before 11 o'clock in the morning and bury them collectively.
Tomorrow, please pack up the bodies of these relatives and friends as soon as possible, so that we can bury them on time at one o'clock in the afternoon!
Folks, folks!
Natural disasters are merciless, but humans are merciful!
If I go there one day, I hope you can bury me!
If one day you leave, I will definitely let you rest in peace! "
If this speech were given in a prosperous and prosperous time, people would think you are a cultist.
But in this specific environment and at this specific time, it touched the most sensitive nerve in people's hearts so deeply.
In fact, under the current situation, after eating this meal, I don’t know where my next meal will be.
After sleeping like this, I don’t know if I can open my eyes next time.
If there is anything else people can look forward to, is it that they can leave their bodies intact when they die? Can someone bury themselves?
This is definitely a secret need in everyone's heart.
Now, in such a desperate situation, and being put on the table nakedly by the village chief, even if it is just to leave a "burial grace" for others in the future, the whole village people, especially the old men and old ladies, all spontaneously mobilized stand up.
There are those who think they are sober and feel that it is bad luck to be contaminated by the dead.
But he couldn't bear the beating from the old man at home, so he could only follow him reluctantly.
But humans are herd animals. When you see everyone doing the same thing, you will think, I am right, I am a member of the people, and I am with everyone.
By this time, the previous unhappiness had long since dissipated.
It is also because of this that there is a different greeting when people meet: From now on, if I die first, can you stretch out your hand and bury me?
Such a greeting is so vulgar and apocalyptic.
At 2034 a.m. on July 7, 5, the Gu family's three heavy trucks set off from the Gu family garage.
The car drove towards the snow-covered fence where people stood. On the fence, two by two, they carried the bodies and passed them down one by one. There were seven or eight young people in the car, carrying the bodies in pairs, taking them over and arranging them neatly.
After collecting one family, collect another.
One family, two families... until all families have collected it.
Three cars filled with people headed towards the big pit outside the village.
Behind the car, many villagers spontaneously followed.
No one spoke, no one cried, but everyone was there at the funeral.
