The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

The woman died, lost her son and husband, and she didn't have the courage to live alone in this famine year full of disasters.The village chief cremated the three of them together, and the paleness and fragility of life hit everyone's heart at this moment.

Lei Yuanming had someone count the remaining rice grains in that household, and locked them all in the warehouse of the ancestral hall.The storehouse of the ancestral hall is different from that of the villagers. It goes down along the road and is regarded as a basement.So as long as the seal is done well, the food can still be kept for a long time.

There are also people clamoring that since people are dead, the part they handed in should be returned to them.But Lei Yuanming flatly refused.It is unknown how bad the situation will be in the future, and these are the last retreats for the village.

This method is supported by almost all the villagers except for the few households who handed in the proposal.As long as they are locked in the ancestral hall, they will have their share of rice grains.In the future, if there is really no harvest, even if there is not much to distribute, it is still food anyway.

The sun seemed to turn dark with the heavy mood of the villagers, and the dark clouds shrouded it all day long, making the people in the village feel even more depressed.

The young men in the village would follow Lei Xiao to learn some self-defense skills after finishing their farm work every day, and then Lei Li found out that the work on their two acres of land was done by someone anonymous, which made them a lot easier.

Those who were begging outside or waiting to make a deal found that Leijia Village was completely closed, and no one came out, even if they just lay on the wall and looked out.Some people refused to give up and waited outside for several days, but the food consumption was beyond their means, so they had to look for the next hope point.

The women who opened the door for the bandits that day were all sent to the town. Now there is no government in the town. After all, they are only in a poor corner of the city, and it is not worth spending too much manpower and material resources.

Mu Bai accepted these women.Trafficking in human beings is really common now, and no one will care about it with great fanfare.Those morals were shattered into dross in the hunger, and the original evil of human nature was fully reflected, and everything was just to survive.

It began to rain again in early October, and the land that had been dry for too long was finally moistened.This time no one dared to go out to get wet in the rain. Last time the rain took away many lives.Who knows what kind of deadly virus this rain will carry.

Everyone was well prepared that the rain might last for a long time, after all, it was not the first time God played with them like this.But what followed was not rain, but hail.From a small ice seed to an ice lump the size of a child's fist, it can smash people's heads and blood.

When the villagers reacted and rushed to check the situation in the field, the tender seedlings that had just been planted and had not yet grown had been smashed to pieces, and many people cried heart-rendingly looking at the messy land.

At the beginning, in order to shade the sun, basically a cover was set up in the ground, which played a little role.Some villagers came out wrapped in quilts, otherwise those ice lumps would really kill people if they hit them.

For two acres of land, the four brothers took a lot of effort to add several layers of coverings. It is better to cover one point of land than to do nothing.

In the house, grandma used wooden boards to cover the small vegetable field at the door. Looking at the smashed and broken vegetable field, she picked all the edible ones in distress.Add some meat and make a messy stew.Si'er likes to eat beef, so put more sliced ​​beef in it.

When the few of them returned home, Xiao Wu was already lying on the door of the kitchen.The scent wafted far away, and the hungry stomachs of the few people who had been busy for a long time were rumbling.

Lei Lang screamed and took a quick shower, sat at the table with chopsticks and waited for dinner.Lei Li brought out the meal prepared by grandma: "Ma Chen and the others didn't come? The tiles of the old house can't stop such a big hailstone, right?"

Yao Ziqing scooped up a bowl of vegetables for Xiao Wu, poured some rice into it, and mixed it in, eating like a pig with his head buried in the food.

Lei Lang put his chopsticks and bowls, and looked at his elder brother teasingly: "Why don't they both come and live here? The old house is hot in summer, cold and rainy in winter, and still leaks. Anyway, Ma Chen can take care of the house when he comes over, and Ma Xin can do it when he comes over." How about staying with grandma?"

Lei Li didn't hear what was said, and seriously thought about the feasibility of this proposal.It’s just that the secrets of Si’er are too dangerous, and Ma Chen’s delicacy will definitely see something when they live together, but finally shook his head and rejected:

"After all, it's two families. It's okay to help each other occasionally. If you really want to live together, there will definitely be conflicts, and it may affect the relationship."

"Tsk, then it will be a family!"

Seeing Lei Lang raising his eyebrows at him, if you still don’t understand what he means, it’s a waste of reading books for more than ten years: “What nonsense are you talking about! Let me tell you, you can eat things but you can’t Nonsense, do you want the little girl's fame! Be careful, Brother Ren beats you when he hears it!"

Lei Lang sat down to eat, don't think he couldn't tell if his ears were red and tanned in the past few months!Duplicity is not manly at all!

Grandma smiled and watched her grandsons making a fuss, and her mood improved a lot after being spoiled by the hailstorm.

The hail stopped falling in the middle of the night, but the temperature dropped significantly.I woke up from the cold under a thin blanket, and when I looked at the thermometer, it was below ten degrees.Fortunately, the quilts in grandma's room were all prepared before, and they were placed on the bed. If it gets cold, they can be pulled over and covered.

They even put on sweaters the next day. Grandma had nothing to do in the cave before, so she knitted two sets of sweaters and pants for each of them, which were still very fashionable big flowers.Lei Xiao has two sets of all black, with different patterns, one with a high collar and the other with a v-neck, which makes the person who wears them look very handsome and stylish.Standing there with long legs, he is so handsome that he can't take care of himself!Yao Ziqing managed to hold back so much that he didn't jump forward and pick up his second brother!

Lei Li and Lei Lang each have a set of dark gray and a set of dark blue, and they both wear round necks.Lei Li doesn't like things with high collars, he always thinks they have kun necks.Lei Lang doesn't care about any collar, so his grandma doesn't care, he can wear whatever he knits.

Yao Ziqing has two sets of pure white without any variegation, which are very loose and fat. When he sits by the window, the sunlight comes in with a soft light effect, which is the rhythm of the entire idol drama.But if you wear woolen trousers, it will look like a big dog with white hair, the kind that makes people want to scratch their chins.

Wrapped in a windbreaker, Lei Zheng walked in with Lu Xueyi step by step. When he saw them all wearing sweaters and comfortably nestling on the sofa drinking hot milk tea, his teeth itch.

"How has the field been ruined, you are still so relaxed!"

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Why come here so early? It will be late if we eat breakfast, we've already finished eating"

Lu Xueyi grabbed Xiao Wu in his arms and pulled his hair: "That's right, didn't you go to the field this morning? Everyone is busy cleaning up the mess and replanting!"

Lei Li frowned: "Replanting? At this time? I'm afraid it's too late, it's going to be cold, and it's unknown whether the rest of the field can be harvested!"

Lei Zheng scratched his hair, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm just here to find you to find a way. You graduated from this major. Is there any way to save it? If this is absolutely impossible, I'm afraid it will really happen. A lot of people are going to hang themselves!"

Lei Li smiled wryly and shook his head: "What can I do, either cover it with mulch, or install a greenhouse. In winter, the boiler will be warmed up in the greenhouse, and maybe I can plant another crop. The problem is, where can I get it right now? These? I think it’s better to find a way to get a mulch, it’s really impossible to do it manually!”

Lei Xiao suddenly said: "Go and find Mu Bai"

Lu Xueyi was a little worried: "What if he can get the mulch, but the lion opened his mouth?"

Yao Ziqing rescued Xiao Wu from Lu Xueyi's hands. It's winter, and the hair grows out, so don't get bald again: "Go and ask, and you will know. The mulch is not disposable. Covering it with a layer of mulch can Cover it with two layers, and then set up a wooden frame, and then cover it with an oilcloth to keep out the wind and rain, and this crop of grain will always be harvested."

There is mulch in his space, but he can't take it out directly.Even if Lei Zheng and the others don't know how to ask, there are hundreds of pairs of eyes from the villagers watching.

Everyone discussed it, and finally decided to go to Mu Bai to try.What to exchange is the second thing, except that Lu Xueyi didn't participate last time, the things they got from the supermarket are still piled up in the cellar, if they can't do it, they can exchange those things.As long as the land is well established, there will be no shortage of food.

He hasn't left the village for a long time, this time Yao Ziqing took Xiao Wu with him.After the hailstorm stopped, the weather never cleared up again. It dropped one or two degrees every day, and it was afraid that the heavy snow would come within half a month.

Mu Bai looked at Xiao Wu's eyes as bright as light bulbs, this is a good dog, sitting at the owner's feet all the time, not running around or barking.Now there are not many people who can raise dogs so fat. After all, people are going to starve to death, so there is nothing for dogs to eat.

It's not the first time they have dealt with Mu Bai, and Ma Chen went straight to the point: "Can I get the mulch?"

Mu Bai withdrew his gaze from looking at Xiao Wu, no matter how good-looking a dog was, he couldn't afford it.Hearing Ma Chen's words, he pondered for a moment: "It's difficult, there are two forces in the city now, one is the country's armed forces, and now the army has taken over our city, and it is estimated that some troops will come here to camp here soon, and the other is Those who were not seen in the past are now blatantly dividing their territories, and those of my level have not yet been able to get online, but if there is a deal, you can give it a try."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Now that the temperature has dropped, mulch can be said to be a life-saving thing. Even if the transaction is estimated to be priced, it will definitely not be low. You'd better have a bottom line in your mind. I can ask you first."

Yao Ziqing saw that many low-rise houses in the town were destroyed by the hailstorm, and the streets were messy and depressed, and there were not many people. He was a little strange: "Have all the people in the town gone to the city? It’s as if they’ve all gone, no one has come out to set up a stall?”

Nan Tian smiled and said: "Where can we leave? Although our town is not big, it has tens of thousands of people. Except for those who are able to leave and those who are related to relatives, there are quite a few left. Moreover, this combination of urban and rural areas There is land that can be planted, how can I live without it, but I don’t come out very much during the day, but come out at night.”

"Then, is the leather easy to sell now?"

"Do you want to sell leather or buy leather?"

This winter is getting closer, and these warm things are very popular now.If the quantity is large, you can take a trip to the city.Many people have migrated here now, and the temperature in the plateau area has long been as low as minus 30 degrees. Many cattle and sheep have froze to death, and they have even been forced to go inland.

Hearing this, Lei Zheng's thoughts moved: "Those herdsmen should have brought a lot of cattle and sheep here? Are there any milking sheep?"

When Lei Yu came back, his stomach was four months old, and he was due to give birth almost next month.Milk is really a big problem, and now there is no such condition to make milk-making food for Lei Yu, what if there is not enough milk?

A group of herdsmen also came to the town, many of them brought cattle and sheep, and several houses had milking ewes.Nan Tian took them to several houses, and one of them gave birth to a lamb just two days ago, and it was the first time the ewe gave birth to a lamb. Lei Zheng was very satisfied with this one.

This ewe weighs about 140 catties. After discussion, [-] catties of rice, [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] bottles of chili sauce, and [-] catties of white wine were exchanged for this milk-producing ewe.Ma Chen Leilang followed Lei Zheng to ride back to the village to move things, and Lei Li and the three of them stayed at the herdsman's house to wait.

Yao Ziqing just remembered that Fang Jinlei had collected barley when he set up a stall last time: "Muta, I still have some barley at my place, can you make barley wine?"

Muta is the only one in this herdsman's family who can speak Mandarin. Others can understand it, but they can't speak it out.

The herdsman is a very hearty person, and after exchanging a sheep, he has more living supplies, and he feels better. Hearing Yao Ziqing's inquiry, he didn't hide his secrets: "It's simple. In our place, as long as you know how to herd sheep, you will be happy." I know how to brew highland barley, but it’s not suitable now, highland barley wine needs to be fermented when the temperature is high, and I still have it here, if you like it, you can take two jars with you later!”

Yao Ziqing quickly shook his head: "No need, it's just that those highland barleys are left alone. I thought it would be good if we could make wine."

"Okay, I'll teach you how to make it later, it's very simple, you can try brewing it yourself, if you don't know anything, you are always welcome to be our guests!"

After Lei Lang and the others brought all their belongings for exchange, they led the sheep away under the warm welcome of the herdsmen.

Yao Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, people in the plateau are enthusiastic, and disasters can't stop their fiery attitude towards life!"

Lei Xiao put his hand on his head and stroked it twice. Just now, two herdsmen girls hid behind the curtain and kept peeping. It is better not to let Si'er go out in the future.Things are not going well now, Si'er's red face and white teeth are really eye-catching.

If Yao Ziqing knew that it was because of the two little girls peeking at him that he would be grounded by his second brother in the future, he probably wouldn't enter that herdsman's house today without saying anything.

The ewe is very afraid of Xiao Wu and always wants to stay away from Xiao Wu.But Xiao Wu likes to get close to it, licking its canine teeth from time to time.

Lei Zheng pushed Xiao Wu away: "Si Er! Take care of your fifth child! If my sheep are so scared that they can't produce milk, I will stew this guy in soy sauce!"

"Little Five, come here, cross-species love will not bear fruit! I will find you a beautiful little bitch in the future, we don't care for this kind of old sheep!"

"Wang~" There are a lot of sheep in the mountains, don't bite this one, it will go to the mountains tomorrow, there are a lot of sheep, just bite it!

"What is it saying?"

Yao Ziqing thought for a while: "I'm probably saying, okay...?" Cross-species communication is not easy.

Before leaving, Ma Chen stuffed a cigarette for Mu Bai.No matter when, there will always be someone who will not lack food and drink, the difference is only whether the food and drink are good or not.There will never be no market for things like tobacco and alcohol. In the city, even a pack of cigarettes can be exchanged for four or five catties of rice.It was quite a local tyrant who shot this cigarette, which directly stunned Mu Bai for a moment.

Looking at the brands that they couldn't afford to smoke even before, my heart trembled even more.Those few people became even more unpredictable in his eyes.I sighed again that I didn't make an enemy against him last time, otherwise his fate would probably be the same as the missing He Wu and those twenty or so people.

Mu Bai is not a stingy person, so he asked Nan Tian to put away this cigarette, this can be used to bribe people in the city, and it can also be used to show off.He took out a few boxes of cheap cigarettes that he had hidden before, and divided them among his brothers.

I found some good cigarettes and wine, and took a few people to the city.They are all so generous, so naturally he can't let people down, right?

Ma Xin was making noodles with his grandma. Since Lei Zheng's family had a dairy goat, they couldn't drink all the milk they produced every day, so they just kneaded the noodles to make milk steamed buns.Later, some families with children went to Lei Zheng's house to ask for milk.If possible, it is natural to give the child some nutrition.Naturally, Lei Zheng and the others would not give them in vain, a soup bowl full of goat milk and a catty of rice.

These days, Aunt Lily has praised Lei Zheng for being able to do things a lot, and this sheep is worth it!There are a few bowls exchanged out a day, if this goes on, the things exchanged for sheep will soon be filled back.Moreover, such a large soup bowl is enough for a family of four or five, which is still very cost-effective.

Ma Chen looked at his younger sister and sighed: "Sure enough, I still need to raise her. Look at my family, Xinxin, who has a bowl of milk every day these days, and his complexion looks much better!"

Ma Xin glared at his elder brother: "I ate enough before, so I should find something to cover it up. It's not a good thing to be too beautiful at this time!"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, the words really touched his heart.I glanced around and found that it would be better if it were a little darker, a little fatter, and a little smaller and lifeless.

Yao Ziqing didn't pay attention to the look on his second elder brother's eyeball, and what Ma Xin said was also something that troubled him recently: "Do you know how to put on makeup?"

"Of course, but no cosmetics"

Cosmetics seem to be...he has quite a lot in his space, so he can find them out and give Ma Xin a try.If the cover is good, it will not be so eye-catching when going out in the future.

Lei Kang knocked on the door, ran out of breath and said: "Uncle Ma Chen, there is a man named Mu Bai outside, my grandfather asked me to ask you, there are three of them, should you go out to meet them or let them in? "

Lei Lang let out a chuckle: "It's only been a few days since there's been news, it seems that it's easy to get things done after bribery!"

He went to the cupboard and grabbed some candy, put it in Lei Kang's pocket, and looked back at his second brother.

"Ma Xin, you and grandma go upstairs and stay, Lei Lang, go and bring them in, Xiao Wu, go and call Lei Zheng, Lu Xueyi and Jin Lei, let them all come here"

Xiao Wu yelled and rushed out immediately.

This is the first time for Mu Bai to come to Leijia Village, seeing that the villagers in this village are not that lifeless, it is not difficult to see that they are still living a good life.And be very vigilant, even those crossbows on the wall are probably not decorations, if they have bad intentions, they will definitely do it without saying a word.

"I really didn't expect that this small village is so simple!"

Nan Tian didn't think it was this village that was not easy: "If it weren't for Lei Xiao and the others, I think this would have been a wasteland long ago!"

Mu Bai smiled and said nothing, looking at the high walls around him.The surrounding geography is covered with a messy cloth. If there is a mulch, even if the weather turns cold, their harvest will not be too bad.

Lei Lang walked over with a smile, said hello to Lei Yuanming, and patted Lei Kang on the back of the head: "Uncle Yuanming, this kid is not bad, he runs quite fast."

Lei Kang hugged his grandfather and hid back with a smile. He gave a lot of candies just now, and when he went back, he would have two for each of them.Or give my sister one more, and he will eat one.

Following Lei Lang, he ran around and entered a very beautiful small western-style building.Sitting on the soft sofa, looking at the bright and clean room, if it wasn't for the electrical appliances that couldn't be turned on, Mu Bai almost thought that he had returned to the stable age, and those disasters were all a dream.

Lei Xiao sat in the middle of the sofa, Yao Ziqing wiped Xiao Wu's paws and fur, and then carried him to the sofa to smooth his fur.Lei Xiao saw Xiao Wu narrowing his eyes comfortably from the corner of his eyes, and cursed in his heart, stupid dog!

Ma Chen poured three times the amount of milk tea for the three people who came, and said with a smile: "It's really time for you to come, just brew it, try it"

Mu Bai thanked politely, Nan Tian and another young man directly picked up the cup and blew on the heat and took a sip, it was sweet!How expensive candy is now, there is no sale at all!

Lei Xiao glanced at them, then looked directly at Mu Bai and asked, "Can we get mulch in the city?"

Mu Bai's heart trembled when he looked at him, obviously he had more younger brothers, so how come he can't always match his momentum!

"Yes, but not much. I can get ten mu of land from him at most, but it's not cheap. Seven hundred catties per mu of land can't be any cheaper."

Lei Zheng's heart turned cold, he thought it wouldn't be very cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.After Lei Yu came back, they asked for an extra mu of land, a total of three mu of land. If they were all covered with plastic film, it would cost [-] catties of grain.It is estimated that their family's food storage has also been emptied.

Yao Ziqing's scalp also tingled, he has a lot of space, if he takes it to the city to exchange, it will become bigger after a while.However, he also has a lot of meters in his space, so there is no need to make such a fuss for the time being.

There was some silence in the room, and Mu Bai also knew that the price was indeed too high, presumably it was Lei Xiao and the others, if the family had more than a few mu of land, they might not be able to give it all at once.Even if there is, the grain in the field cannot be harvested immediately, and life still has to be lived.

"Fifty cigarettes, I only need ten acres of mulch film"

Nan Tian's hand holding the cup of milk tea trembled, almost spilling it.Mu Bai was also taken aback, and then his heart beat wildly.He licked his lips, and his voice became uncontrollably erratic: "What, what kind of smoke?"

Lei Xiao gave Lei Lang a look, and Lei Lang turned and walked into the room, and took out a cigarette after a while.This one used to cost thousands of yuan a piece. Although it was not as good as the one given to him last time, it was definitely not bad!

"If there is no problem, you can take the cigarettes away now, ten acres of mulch, and get them here as soon as possible."

Mu Bai calmed down his excitement, and drank the milk tea in the cup in one gulp, still feeling his throat was dry: "You have to know, this kind of thing has always been the most marketable."

Lei Xiao interrupted him with a gesture and said, "I don't want to be troublesome, can you do this ticket?"

Mu Bai said without hesitation: "Do it!"

If you don't do this, wouldn't you be an idiot? It's not just about profit. If it's done well, some interpersonal relationships can also be well managed.Although the town is not big, he doesn't have any background. He looks good now, but his status is also precarious.

It was obvious that Lei Xiao was paving the way for him and wanted to support him.As soon as his thoughts turned, Mu Bai understood that Lei Xiao didn't have that kind of ambition, but he had to be able to guarantee the safety of his family.Then you are the best choice, or the easiest and most convenient choice.But isn't Lei Xiao afraid that his wings will turn against him if his wings become stiff?

After this thought came to his mind, he subconsciously looked at Lei Xiao, and saw his deep and introverted eyes, which were calm but full of oppression.With a chill in his heart, I am afraid that as long as he has this thought, he will never see the sun of tomorrow again.The twists and turns in it are really frightening.

"I won't say anything to thank you anymore. If I say too much hypocrisy, I won't thank you for your kindness!"

Lei Lang was a little puzzled, and after sending them off, he asked his second brother Mu Bai what he meant by that.There are dozens of boxes of tobacco and alcohol in their house, and they don't smoke or drink, so they can exchange for useful things and make room.How can you be thanked for asking others to help you?

Lei Xiao ignored him and turned directly upstairs.Yao Ziqing sighed and shook his head: "IQ is really a flaw, hey..."

Xiao Wu yelled at him, shook his head and walked away

Lei Lang: "..." Was he despised by a dog?

The author has something to say:

Si'er's wet little eyes looked at the second brother anxiously: "Second brother! Now no one cares about human trafficking!"

The second elder brother embraced Si'er domineeringly: "With me here, who dares to touch you!"

Si'er: "..." He just wanted to say that their little Wu is so fat and dangerous...
