Doomsday foresight

Jinxi drove a car and waited at the gate. It didn't take long for those people to come over. The group of people was a bit embarrassed, skinny, and wore shabby cotton jackets. Almost three hundred people were dragging simple sledges with several clothes on them. Not much luggage.

Jin Xi suddenly covered her nose, and there was an unpleasant smell. These people didn't seem to have taken a shower, and the smell was very bad.He didn't want to stay here anymore, Jinxi drove the car into the village, just happened to meet the sixth uncle, "What's the situation with Jinxi?" He gave Jinxi horn, the voice was very familiar.

"There are two to three hundred people, and they may have defected to us." Jin Xi explained.

"Okay, next time you see such a situation, you will blow the horn. What you did today is quite right. You can go back. You don't have to worry about it here." The sixth uncle said and drove him to the village.

Jinxi smiled and didn't say anything, and drove to the yard of the brigade headquarters. The ferns picked by the villagers were all made uniformly and then distributed. In order to prevent some people from being lazy and not working for nothing, the village also implemented a As a measure, the wild vegetables picked by every person on the mountain must be registered.After everything is done, distribute according to everyone's contribution.So far, no one has objected to this allocation plan.

Sixth Uncle and the others don't want Jinxi to associate with outsiders, it's also to protect him. After Zhao Feng's incident, the village regrets it. Last time, many people were driven away, except for the dead Zhao Feng. There are also some people, these people don't know where they went, and they didn't deliberately hide it from the people in the village. These people know more or less about Jinxi's ability.They are also wary of these people spreading Jinxi's abilities, which is not a good thing.So Uncle Six drove him back directly.

It's good that Jinxi is happy not to worry.Helped get the sacks of bracken off the car. Their village is still very professional in making dried bracken. They are originally the place where wild bracken is produced. Several women in the house are processing the bracken they just got. , Pick the bracken and soak it in the ash water for three hours, then finish it, and then dry it in the house. Because there is no electricity, the dryer cannot be used, so they can only use the simplest method, kang Dry.The effect is not bad.

Jinxi sent the bracken over there, and left. The vegetable field in the village has already grown vegetables, and the growth is excellent, especially the cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants, which have already protruded from the ground. Originally, I wanted to build a shelf tomorrow, but since I have time today, I will do it today. Done.

There are two vegetable gardens in the village, the big one is public and the small one belongs to Jinxi's family. The homestead originally reserved for Sheng Nan and Qiangqiang is also Jinxi's privilege. The village has no objection to this, and the village has no objection to it. Not only that, the village also handed over the large vegetable garden to Jinxi for management. There are not many vegetables this year, so they must be managed in a unified way. When there are enough seeds next year, they will be distributed to the villagers. At that time, it will be under personal management. .

Jinxi picked a dozen capable daughters-in-law from the village, and Dabao managed the place together with him, and asked Dabao to call someone. After Jinxi changed his clothes, he went to the vegetable garden. Now the big vegetable garden is surrounded by a fence made of tree branches. , not counting food, only twelve acres of vegetable land.More than 20 kinds of vegetables have been planted, and he has seen that all the vegetables have sprouted, but the growth conditions are different.

"You guys are here. We're going to build a shelf today. Looking at the current growth, the cucumber and carob branches will definitely grow long. We'll build it like this when we build a shelf." Jinxi said, doing a demonstration with his hands, inserting two long branches into each other. Next to the two sides of the two cucumber seedlings, and then insert two other branches at a distance of [-] centimeters in front, and then tie the four branches to the upper ends with iron wires. It’s a bit far away, so two melon seedlings use one frame, so there’s a lot of room to climb.”

When it comes to growing vegetables, Jinxi is not as good as these women, but he can think about it and knows the habits of these plants, so he can know these people.

"These branches are very thick. In a team of two, tie two melon seedlings to the outer branch. Dabao, help the aunts carry the branches."

"Oh." Dabao replied honestly. Jinxi is now taking Dabao to work. Dabao has a lot of strength. He can't go hunting in the forest. Jinxi teaches him to grow vegetables, at least not letting the villagers know that Dabao can also make contributions. of.

The women over there set up shelves for the cucumbers, and Jinxi also took the branches to handle the eggplants and tomatoes.Speaking of which, eggplants and tomatoes are relatively fast-growing plants, and now a large part of them is exposed on the snow. The branches are very thick and the leaves are very green. However, Jinxi saw that they had grown so tall but did not have the intention of blooming. He felt that this The two plants can grow taller and bigger, just like the cucumbers and beans over there, they look big, but they are still in their juvenile stage.The branches used to build the eggplants and tomatoes are shorter than the ones on the cucumber side, but they are thicker and stronger, and they are very strong. After the shelf is built, it is 1.5 meters high. This thing does not climb up very much, so it needs to be tied every once in a while. on the rope.Help them bear the weight of the fruit.

After working for more than two hours to set up the shelf, Jinxi went to get some snow to cover the roots of the plants.

"What's the history of those people?" Jin Xi asked.

"The ones who escaped are the people left in the county. They have been harassed by wild animals these days. The county can't live anymore, and the food is almost running out. I heard that there are people here, so they come here to seek refuge." Jiang Chen shrugged and took the feather duster Sweep the snow off Jin Xi's body.

"Then the sixth uncle agreed with them to come in?" He took off his coat, "What is my sister-in-law doing in the pot to heat up the house so hot?" There are thick stainless steel pots on the two large pots at the door, because at the door, the house It was steaming hot inside and had obviously been burning for a long time.

"The piece of wild pork and pork ribs that your brother shared last time, my father asked me to stew it this morning. Who knew that the wild pork was old enough, and it didn't look bad after stewing all morning." Yingzi's sister-in-law was cutting sauerkraut in the kitchen.

"Oh." Jinxi poked her nose together, "Did I catch a cold? Why didn't I even ask about the smell of broth?"

"Maybe it's cold outside." Jiang Chen sniffled, the smell was quite obvious, "Why don't you take two pills. I remember that there are cold medicines at home."

"It's okay, I didn't feel a headache or anything, you still haven't said whether the sixth uncle agrees or not?"

"Didn't you interrupt? Uncle Six agrees, and the people in our village can't agree. There are almost 300 people here, and more than half of them are young and strong. If these people enter the village, the safety of the village will not be guaranteed, so Uncle Six and the others They don’t agree, even Zhang Yun and Company Commander Zhao don’t agree. Our village has finally developed to the present, so we can be careful.” Jiang Chen shook his head. There is a village in the east. The people in that village are all dead, and the houses inside are all empty. When I came back, I thought it would be better to live somewhere than to enter our village."

Jinxi thought about it, in fact, at this time, as long as he is willing to endure hardships or is brave enough, he can always survive, and the food in the forest is getting more and more abundant.

After washing his hands and face, Jinxi went to the pot and smelled it, only to smell some meaty smell, and when he left the heat, his nose was a little blocked, maybe it was a little cold, but he didn't take it seriously.

But he didn't expect to have a fever suddenly at night. Thanks to Jiang Chen's vigilance, he called Zhang Zhong overnight after discovering the problem. Zhang Zhong gave him a fever-reducing injection. He didn't have much medicine in his hand. Drugs that are on the verge of shelf life are barely usable.

It wasn't until the next morning that Jinxi's fever subsided, but he was also weak and listless.Head hurts.Unable to cheer up, Jiang Chen was always by his side as he woke up from sleep.

At noon, Jin Xi vaguely heard Jiang Chen talking to someone, and vaguely heard that someone also fell ill.

"What's wrong?" Jin Xi asked after opening her eyes when there was no movement in the room.

"It's nothing." Jiang Chen was perfunctory and didn't want Jinxi to know, "I asked my sister-in-law to make porridge for you, would you like some now?"

Jin Xi shook her head and reached out to grab Jiang Chen's hand, "What's wrong? I heard someone else is sick?"

Jiang Chen knew he couldn't hide it, "Well, Ye Cheng, Jinhang and Aunt Jiu are also sick. The symptoms are similar to yours."

Jinxi closed her eyes and thought about it "I remember that when I went back to the village yesterday, I stopped at the gate. At that time, Ye Cheng and Jinhang were standing beside me, and Aunt Jiu was also walking to the village. At that time, I Suddenly, I smelled a particularly bad smell, which was disgusting. It was the smell of the people who came here. I thought it had nothing to do with them taking a bath. Now that I think about it this season, if I don’t take a bath, it won’t smell like that. It should be some Question." Jinxi said with a clear head, "Did you smell it when you were negotiating with them?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, we didn't smell it." This was too strange, "You rest first, I'll go out for a while, and Zhang Zhong will come over later."

Jin Xi nodded and closed her eyes, and soon passed out.

Jiang Chen's face sank when he stepped out of the door. Originally, Ye Ke came to tell him that Ye Cheng and the others were also sick, so he felt strange and had some doubts. Now Jin Xi confirmed that their sickness was probably man-made.

Jiang Chen went to Ye Cheng's house first, Ye Cheng's condition was stronger than Jin Xi's, maybe his body was stronger than Jin Xi's, "Do you remember what smell you smelled when those people came over yesterday?" Jiang Chen looked at Ye Cheng Cheng was still in good spirits by being seated, so he asked straightforwardly.

Ye Cheng thought for a while, "I can smell it, a very unpleasant smell. But it will disappear after a while."

Jiang Chen nodded and went to two other places to ask, they all smelled it, and then asked the gatekeepers, in the end only Jinxi and the others smelled the smell, so the matter is certain.

So is this unintentional or intentional?And for what?Jiang Chen felt that this incident seemed to reveal a big conspiracy.
