Qian Xiaoyu's previous work was always hidden behind the scenes, providing technical support to colleagues on the front line, but in this epidemic, he finally realized his dream of rushing to the front line...... But for Du Xiaoyin and others, the realization of this 'dream' is somewhat cruel.

As a pathology expert, Qian Xiaoyu was one of the first medical workers to enter the Folk Village. After he was stationed, he worked more than 20 hours a day, researching the unknown virus that caused the outbreak. Until the epidemic suddenly worsened, when Du Xiaoyin informed him that he was ready to evacuate, he insisted on staying.

Everyone knows what it means to stay in the epicenter of the pandemic!

Qian Xiaoyu naturally understands it in his heart, but he knows that some things must be done, and some responsibilities must be taken on by someone who dares to stand up and take them!

For him, the folk village is the front line of the epidemic, and it is also his own battlefield. Only here can you get first-hand information, so as to provide the most detailed information for the research work in the future!

Qian Xiaoyu stayed, and when he said goodbye to Du Xiaoyin and the others, he had always been shy, and took the initiative to hug everyone gently...... "Let's go, it's not early, and I have to cook when I go back." Under the hill, Lin Xiu said softly.

They now live in a small farm yard, and the head of the household had already evacuated early at the beginning of the outbreak.

As personnel to be observed, they are now in the quarantine stage, and although there is no shortage of food and clothing, the taste of the fast food provided by the command is really not complimentary. These days, they have become accustomed to cooking for themselves.

In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there is never a shortage of ingredients, there is a vegetable field in the back, there is surplus grain in the warehouse, and there is even a small fish pond not far away. The three of them use these ingredients and take turns cooking every day, which can be regarded as a joy in suffering.

In fact, the headquarters is only less than two kilometers away from the small farm yard where they live, but this short two thousand meters, as far as the current point of view, is an insurmountable moat!

When the three of them chatted, they all looked very optimistic on the surface, and it seemed that after forty-eight hours, they could really leave.

But in fact, all the signs they have observed in the past few days indicate that the epidemic seems to be getting worse.

In the sky, helicopters of the military have already appeared.

Their greatest role is to serve as an aerial monitoring point to prevent infected people from leaving without permission. At the same time, these helicopters began to airdrop various materials into the village, including various types of medical equipment. Speaking of this, it was actually Qian Xiaoyu's suggestion to the headquarters, and he hoped to establish a small cutting-edge research base in the epicenter of the epidemic to carry out research directly...... As things stand, it is clear that Command has taken his advice.

"What do you want to eat today?"

Da Li put the observation equipment into his bag, looked at Du Xiaoyin and Lin Liu, and asked with a smile.

Today it was his turn to cook, although he is not a family cook, but his cooking skills are still quite good.

"Do you want me to go to the pond and catch a few fish and stew fish soup for you?"

When Lin Xiu heard this, he pouted and said, "Come on, you...... Now I don't even dare to eat the ham sausages in the bag, let alone the wild fish. ”

These days, they use pure water for cooking, and they have to cook freshly picked vegetables in the field until they are ripe.

Da Li smiled: "Look at your cowardice, haven't you heard of the phrase 'desperately eating puffer fish'?" ”

Lin Xiu paused and said angrily: "Li Dahai, in this environment, don't keep saying that you can't die, my mother still wants to live a hundred years old!" ”

The originally somewhat stagnant atmosphere, under Da Li's slightly deliberate teasing, gradually soothed...... "Speaking of fish soup, I can't help but start to miss a certain friend......"

Da Li lit a cigarette and sighed.

Lin Xiu was curious: "Who is it, who can actually make you think of it at this time?" ”

Da Li said solemnly: "Strictly speaking, it's not that I miss him, but I miss the fish in the pond in his backyard." ”

The person he was talking about was naturally Mo Yan, although his tone was a little ridiculous, but deep down, he really missed that magical guy very much.

He couldn't help but wonder, if that guy was also here, would he still have a calm face like before?

At this time, not only Da Li thought of Mo Yan, but Du Xiaoyin also thought of that guy...... "In the face of this kind of natural disaster, even he is probably helpless, right?" Du Xiaoyin sighed softly, raised his wrist lightly, and couldn't help but press on the talisman on his chest.

The three of them ended the doomed investigation and returned to the farmhouse courtyard.

Da Li and Lin Xiu began to be busy cooking, and Du Xiaoyin began to write a work report.

After writing today's work report, she dialed Director Ma's phone and reported to him today's work and physical condition.

According to the regulations, every two hours, they had to report to the command. In addition, every four hours, they have to perform a physical self-examination and report the data back to the command as well.

Director Ma obviously didn't care about Du Xiaoyin's work report, and after casually asking a few words, he focused on asking about the physical condition of Du Xiaoyin and others...... "Don't worry, Ma Hall, the physical data have not changed much, everything is normal." Du Xiaoyin said in a relaxed voice.

"Then I'm relieved......" Director Ma admonished, "but I still have to remind you not to be negligent!" The work can be put aside first, and the monitoring of the body must be careful and careful, and maintain a high degree of vigilance! ”

Du Xiaoyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Ma Hall, how is Qian Xiaoyu doing over there?" ”

Director Ma said: "Don't worry, his personal situation is normal, the fully enclosed epidemic prevention suit is in place, as long as he is careful, there will be no big problem." ”

Is it just that the personal situation is normal? So does this mean...... Du Xiaoyin was sensitively aware of the information that Director Ma inadvertently revealed, but she knew what to ask and what not to ask, so she held back the doubts in her heart and did not ask about the situation at the center of the epidemic.

After hanging up the phone, Da Li came over and asked with concern, "How is Qian Xiaoyu's condition?" ”

"Everything is normal over there...... Du Xiaoyin repeated what Director Ma had just said, and said, "Let's go, I'm hungry, let's eat." ”

……………………………… In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, the three of them sat around a small wooden table and ate a simple dinner.

On the wooden table is a bowl of green vegetable soup, a plate of pickled vegetables made by the head of the household, a plate of fried dried bamboo shoots, and the staple food is rice.

Before the investigation team moved into the compound, the staff of the headquarters had obtained the consent of the head of the household to temporarily use all the materials in the compound. Otherwise, the three of them would now only be able to eat some instant noodles, ham sausages and other foods.

The dinner was simple and unpretentious, but the three of them ate with relish.

"Long nights, no intention to sleep......"

After eating, Da Li took out a deck of poker and said, "Let's fight the landlord!" ”

Lin Xiu smiled: "It's a good idea, but it has to be a little colorful, right?" ”

Da Li pretended to be surprised and said: "As a policeman, you dare to openly invite gambling?" ”

Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, "Don't be scared here, you can say if you dare or not." ”

Da Li smiled: "I really don't dare to ......"

As he spoke, he flipped his trouser pocket outward and said, "Before I went out on the mission, my pocket was just swept by my daughter-in-law!" ”

Lin Xiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The surname is Li, are you still not a man?" Look at your little energy, I'll stumble for you......"

Du Xiaoyin smiled on the side: "Okay, okay, you two are always bickering, whoever loses, continue to cook tomorrow." ”

After the three of them agreed, they began to fight the landlord with the lights in the hall.

The shadow brought about by the epidemic weighs on everyone's heart, and it is as heavy as a boulder.

Just like Da Li's joke, in this long night, no one can calm down and sleep peacefully.

The game went on and on, and no one offered to take a break.

For them, instead of tossing and turning in bed, it is better to spend the hard time at the table...... At about eleven o'clock, Du Xiaoyin suddenly put down the cards in his hand and listened attentively.

She frowned slightly and said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Da Li said with a solemn face: "If you heard it right, it should be the gunshots from the Folk Village!" ”

After a slight pause, he added: "It's not a standard gun, listen to the sound, it should be a homemade earthen gun......"

Du Xiaoyin stood up and said, "I want to go over and have a look!" ”

Lin Xiu exclaimed: "Are you crazy? ”

Du Xiaoyin said: "Lin Xiu, don't forget that we are policemen, and it is a dereliction of duty to sit still after hearing the gunshots." ”

Lin Xiu hurriedly said: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but this is a special situation, a special period!" ”

Du Xiaoyin said: "It is precisely because this is a special period that I have to check. Lin Xiu, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if a villager in the folk village can't bear the psychological pressure and breaks out of the cordon? ”

With that, she turned back to the house and began to check the firearm she was carrying.

Outside the house, Da Li and Lin Xiu looked solemn.

After a moment of silence, Da Li said: "Lin Xiu, what Xiaoyin said is right, if someone breaks out of the cordon, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Lin Xiudao: "The headquarters has already planned for this, and a total of three lines of defense have been set up, and there is already an armed emergency team in the folk village, so no one should rush out, right?" ”

Da Li said: "Don't forget, it's late at night, and the surrounding terrain is complicated, there are small roads that can't go through the big roads, and there are rivers when the small roads don't go through...... The locals are far more familiar with the terrain than those of us outsiders, and if you want to run, I think it's very likely that you can rush out! ”

Lin Xiu bit her lip, couldn't help sighing, and paused: "Okay, I understand all these truths, so I don't need your old man to educate me." ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Let's go together, go separately!" ”

At this time, Du Xiaoyin walked out of the house and said, "It's okay to act separately, I'll take the middle path, and the two of you will go to the ridge." Remember, once you encounter a villager who wants to go out, the main thing is to persuade them, and if the other party does not listen to dissuasion, you can consider using force. But you must remember that you are not allowed to shoot unless you have to! ”

Da Li said: "I make a suggestion, everyone should move forward for 300 meters, and they can't exceed this distance!" ”
