Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Ye Zhiqiu did not stop the refugees from leaving. She had regretted it a long time ago. Leaving would save her some trouble. After all, she had to kill people in the village and find a way to deal with the bodies. It would take her a long time to deal with it alone.

She was not worried that the refugees would cause trouble and harm others after they left. Not to mention that they were carrying poison, the injuries on their hands and feet were enough to make them suffer. She really thought that people could still be as agile as before after being injured.

Let the system keep a little attention on them, she will not care, the system will tell you naturally when there is a result. The most important thing now is to grow food. She hasn't worked for a long time, it's better to be the queen mother in the last world.

One person can't eat much food, and Ye Zhiqiu doesn't plan to grow more. As long as there is food on the surface, it won't arouse suspicion when the villagers come back one day. Even if the villagers don't come back, when the disaster is over, sooner or later other people will settle in the village.

The land needs to be cultivated, and safety is equally important. She planned to block the path leading into the village with stones, and then use some thorny branches to surround the houses at the head of the village. She didn't expect to stop everyone, but just some of them. After doing this, she dug a big pit not far away as a trap, which could delay time if someone really came in.

She had no plans to leave the village in the future, even if there were some good things in the grove behind the village, she had no plans to go. The space had everything, she couldn't use it all by herself, as long as she survived the disaster, everything would be fine.

The Ye family's land was all by the river outside the village. She didn't plan to go out of the village to farm. It was enough to grow some grains in the backyard. Corn and sweet potatoes were already available in this era, but she didn't plan to grow them.

Corn and sweet potatoes are high-yield, and it's okay when they are planted, but it's not easy to harvest them, and she doesn't want to suffer that. There are pumpkin seeds in the space. If you plant a few pumpkin seedlings, one pumpkin vine can produce more than a dozen pumpkins, which one person can eat for a long time.

Pumpkins are not picky about the soil, so Ye Zhiqiu just scattered the seeds around the house, and waited for the vines to grow around the corners of the wall, or even the empty space in the yard. In addition to pumpkins, she also planted a lot of beans, which would be her future food.

The land in the backyard was originally the vegetable garden of the Ye family, but it had been empty for a long time due to drought. Ye Zhiqiu spent several days digging the land deeply, and then exposed it to the sun for two days before starting to sow.

She didn't know much about farming, so she just scattered various seeds, sprinkled a layer of grass and trees, and watered them. The later management was also simple, watering in the morning and evening, and regularly weeding and catching insects. If the villagers were farming, they might also apply farmyard manure, but Ye Zhiqiu would rather have a lower yield than use farmyard manure.

The vegetable garden in the backyard is not small, and one person cannot eat it all. The lower the yield, the better. No matter how much you plant, it will have no other use. The most you can do is store the leftovers in a space and hide them for later use.

Although these tasks sound simple, Ye Zhiqiu feels tired. Since he has added these farm chores, he has something to do every day.

I had to go to fetch water to irrigate the fields early in the morning, and I had to go again in the evening. This morning and evening, the round trip took more than an hour. I had to water the fields early, before the sun came out, because it would be too late to water them after the sun came out.

If you water too late, the water will evaporate and the roots of the plants will not be able to absorb it, which means your efforts are in vain. The same is true at night. You have to wait until the sun sets before you can water the vegetable garden. Even if she doesn't have night blindness, other people in the village may not be able to work by moonlight.

With water and sunlight, the seeds sprouted quickly. The first radish seeds sown have three leaves and are ready to eat. Very good, I will use them for lunch today.

Ye Zhiqiu pulled out a palm-sized area of ​​seedlings, washed them and set them aside. He also found a piece of leg meat that was 20% fat and 80% lean and chopped it into pieces. He boiled the water, put the meat pieces into the pot and boiled them, seasoned them, and finally sprinkled the radish seedlings into the pot.

A bowl of soup, meat and vegetables were provided, plus the steamed buns taken out from the space, and lunch for one person was solved. If she really wanted to flee with the Ye family, she would not be able to have such food. She hoped that the Ye family would never come back.

The days passed by uneventfully. With space and plenty of nutrition, Ye Zhiqiu's health was getting better day by day, and she had already started practicing martial arts. Now she was confident that she could easily deal with three or five strong men by herself, and everything was moving in a good direction.

There were some bad things, the water in the well was getting less and less, and more and more people were fleeing famine. More than once, refugees passing by tried to enter the village, and the stones at the entrance of the village were moved away, but they were scared away by Ye Zhiqiu's crossbow.

It can't be said that they were scared away, but they found that there was nothing good in the village. Except for Ye Zhiqiu, there was not even a ghost. The big willow tree at the entrance of the village was dry and its branches and leaves were burnt yellow. Only the houses in the village looked good, but the frightened refugees were afraid of crossbows and did not want to risk their lives to enter the village.

All the way south, the refugees knew that food and drink were the best things. Most villages had no food, so they had to go into the mountains to find food. Where there were mountains, there were forests, and they could find some wild vegetables and fruits to fill their stomachs, and if they were lucky, they could even kill some small animals.

With only a crossbow, Ye Zhiqiu managed to defend the village. For safety, she stayed at the entrance of the village most of the time, but she couldn't stand it after a long time. Later, in order to be lazy, she found a large bell from the space and some fishing lines, and tied the fishing lines to the barbed wire piled at the entrance of the village, so that it would make a sound as long as someone moved.

After several attempts to make sure that people in the room could hear the sound, she felt at ease staying in the house. It wasn't entirely because she wanted to be lazy, but because the temperature was too high and she didn't want to stay outside in the scorching sun.

She was a non-believer who prayed to God for rain every day, but the Dragon King did not hear her voice. More than a month passed without a drop of rain. There were several times when the sky became gloomy and dark clouds filled the sky, but in the end no drop of rain fell.

This morning, Ye Zhiqiu woke up and found that it was a little dark outside, and it looked like it was going to rain. She ran outside and looked up at the sky, wondering if it would rain this time. But when she turned back, the sun came out again.

After she finished weeding the vegetable garden under the scorching sun, she went back to the house and took a big gulp of water. Before she had time to sit down to rest, she heard a crackling sound coming from outside.

She hurried to the window and saw a layer of white beads of different sizes on the ground. After a closer look, she realized that it was hail. Damn God, it didn't rain but it was hail. Is there any way for people to live?

The hail was getting bigger and bigger, but she could do nothing but hope that the roof would not be damaged. She didn't know how to repair the roof and was afraid of heights, so it would be a big problem if it was damaged.

Fortunately, God did not intend to make things difficult for Ye Zhiqiu. In less than an incense stick of time, the hail ended.
