Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The entire courtyard was covered in ice as far as the eye could see!

The eaves, barns, walls, bricks and wood in the corners... are all covered with a thick layer of ice.

Long ice ridges hang from the eaves, and the ice on the floor is the thickest, just like the frozen lake they saw when they went ice fishing last year.

The house is like a forbidden place in a fairy tale that has been cursed and frozen. The surface of the building that has been splashed by rain is covered with ice and ice edges. No matter how you look at it, you don't think anyone can live inside.

No wonder when I opened the door just now, I felt that it was not easy to open, as if there was resistance.

Zhao Yeqing had just come to his senses and was about to go out to get tools to clean the floor in the yard when Mu Xi stopped him.

"Don't move. The ice edges on your head are dangerous. Deal with them first, otherwise it won't be a joke if you hit someone."

Zhao Yeqing thought it made sense, so he didn't move anymore. He stood honestly under the eaves, picked up the hammer that Mu Xi threw over, and started smashing it against the ice edge.

The ice ribs are thick and long, hanging one by one under the eaves. Each one is as thick as an arm, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. It looks like a row of teeth of a wild beast.

Zhao Yeqing smashed the ice edges onto the ground, and the falling ice edges cracked the ice on the ground.

Perhaps hearing the two people's movements, the three clouded leopards in the house opened the door and came out with their paws raised.

Seeing that it had stopped raining, I wanted to go out to look for food.

I didn't notice anything strange when I was walking along the road in the courtyard, but when I was about to cross the courtyard wall, I jumped up and my back foot slipped, causing me to fall to the ground on my face.

Zhao Yeqing turned his head away without noticing. Having learned from the past, Xuebing and the other leopard did not act rashly. They tried to lift their paws and rubbed them on the ground twice. As if they found that it was indeed slippery, they turned their heads and moved their eyes to Mu Xi. body.

Mu Xi found it funny, "You two are quite good."

He slowly moved to the door, raised his hand and rubbed his confused head, "You are still a little fool."

After that, he opened the courtyard door and let the three leopards go out.

These three can find food by themselves. As long as it doesn't rain anymore, the pig killing can be slowed down.

Now the two of them are mainly fixing the ice edges on the eaves and clearing a path to the entrance of the courtyard, as well as a path from the bedroom to the toilet.

It would be easier to break the ice in front of the house and then shovel it away after the ice edge smashed off the head.

Both of them were beating with hammers.

Zhao Yeqing was a little bored. He looked at the darkness outside and said, "You said it's not bright yet. Even if it doesn't snow or wind, we don't dare to go out. If there are any animals, we won't be able to see them."

Mu Xi knocked off the last ice edge on the eaves, "It turns out that the snow has not melted, and then it rained on top. Even if it is bright outside, we can't go out. I don't know how slippery it will be." "

The raindrops fell on the snow, which was equivalent to covering the snow with a layer of ice shell. Zhao Yeqing took a look and found that it was quite thick, estimated to be more than five or six centimeters.

"If you can go out and ride a sleigh on it, it will be much stronger than last year."

Last year, the two of them started sledding after the snow had fallen for a while and the sun had come out for a few days, so the surface became a little firmer. The snow was not too thick at that time, and there was no fear of sinking.

Now that there is ice, it will be more slippery. I am afraid that the dog will slip easily while running.

Mu Xi took a shovel and began to shovel the ice in the yard. "Don't think about it now. I don't know when it will light up. It's too dark and it's not safe to go out."

Zhao Yeqing was a little discouraged. There was no wind now, and he had just finished smashing the ice cubes and moved his body. His body temperature did not feel too cold, so he sat directly on the bench at the door of the room, looked at the sky and said in wonder:

"If our place is really the night, then isn't the other half the day?"

Asia is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the Western Hemisphere on the opposite side is the Americas. If it is really polar night, there will probably be 24 hours of broad daylight over there.

If it's snowing heavily over there, with 24 hours of broad daylight and heavy snow, you'll probably be blinded when you go out.

Now there are pros and cons for each. If the polar night here lasts for a long time, there will definitely be problems in the biological chain.

In high latitude areas, animals usually stock up on enough food before the polar night to survive the polar night, but now the polar night is coming, catching all creatures by surprise.

Not only animals, but also plants are unable to grow. Not to mention the extremely low temperature, even if the temperature can be raised, there is no way to carry out photosynthesis.

It was different from the ordinary polar night. The sky seemed to be covered with a big black curtain, and not even the moon or stars could be seen.

The more Zhao Yeqing thought about it, the more emotional he became, and he murmured: "It's so cruel..."

If the two of them had not been diligent in farming and had sufficient supplies, as well as the grow lights in the basement and the generator they found, if they had simply survived by hunting in the mountains, survival would have been a problem now.

This natural disaster seems to be driving all living things to death.

She will now recall the process from beginning to end. First, the outbreak of the virus eliminated part of the human race, then the arrival of the Earth Fissure, destroying a large part of human civilization around the world, and then various natural disasters that followed... ...

By now, it's almost dark.

That is to say, the two of them were lucky enough to find some supplies in the mountains now, and they did not think about just sitting around and living in vain. Instead, they worked honestly on farming and building infrastructure. Only then did they have enough food and clothing, and their life was enjoyable.

If this were in the city, although their officials would not give up on anyone, with so many mouths to feed, life would definitely be difficult, and there would probably be a lot of unrest.

As the martial arts novel on the desk of the original owner of this wooden house said: Some people have grudges.

Speaking of eating...

Zhao Yeqing began to take one step at a time and think ten steps again. She was worried that if the polar night lasted as long as half a year in high latitudes, or if it was more serious, it would last for more than a year, or if she was more pessimistic, there would be no light in the future. what to do?

Although the planting basement can provide fresh vegetables for two people, the staple food must be grown on the ground after all. The space in the basement is too small, and the environment is definitely not as good as the ground, and there is no normal sunlight.

She stretched out her hands and clasped her fingers, "Rice and wheat, save some and you can eat until the end of the year. No rice is needed to feed the chickens. The leftover highland barley can be used to add food to the livestock, and sweet potatoes can also be used... ..Tsk, if that doesn’t work, let’s kill the pig.”

The purpose of raising so many pigs is mainly for breeding, otherwise defects and deformities will occur. That's why Mu Xi only raised two litters of piglets in order to keep them for a long time.

The four pigs are probably going to be kept, and one of them can be killed now. At most, the remaining pigs will have to be fed less, and they will be raised first, since there is still a lot of rice bran anyway.

This polar night shouldn't last long...
