Chapter 38 The Prelude to the Plague
The torrential rain came earlier, and the dry and cracked ground was gradually moistened. The earth was like a long-thirsty desert, greedily absorbing the precious water source.
Seeing the rain, many villagers couldn't help weeping with joy. This year's corn grains failed, and they originally wanted to replant other crops, but the groundwater level was getting lower and lower, and they all wondered how long it would take for them to completely dry up.
It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but this long-drought rain is ten or a hundred times more expensive than that spring rain!
However, the joy of the people didn't last long. After the rainstorm lasted for three days and thoroughly irrigated the dry disciples, they still didn't want to stop. Time seemed to go back to last year, the rainstorm continued and the river flooded!
The villagers didn't worry too much. They discussed in twos and threes whether to go to the county to jointly propose to disperse the dark clouds like last year. However, the villagers hadn't acted yet, and the rats had already arrived.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Bai Shu couldn't help but feel his heart churn when he saw the darkness outside.Feng Han came over and closed the curtains, and handed a glass of milk to Bai Zhu's hand.Before the cows mated, they didn’t produce milk. What they drink now is milk powder, which was exchanged for military milk powder when they exchanged military supplies.
In addition to this milk powder, there are also various cans, lunch meat, side dishes and energy solid drinks.
The things used by the army are naturally rare and good things. In the future, medicines will only be more precious compared to these. The two of them have capital in hand, so they never save.
Bai Zhu took a sip and added honey, which tasted surprisingly good.
"Let's go and see if the corridor can hold it in a while. I just happen to have some bricks to build in."
"Let me go, you go upstairs and have a look. You should be able to pick up eggs."
Now the chickens, ducks and geese have started to lay eggs. Even if they can eat, they can't eat so much. Before it rains, they can sell them to the villagers. Because last year's harvest was poor and the winter was extremely cold, most people were afraid that their livestock would get sick. They were killed. Although new cubs were bought in the beginning of spring, it is far from the time to lay eggs.
So except for small shops, the Baishu family basically relies on the eggs in the village.
Not only is it raining, but there is also a plague of rats. The densely packed rat heads are scary to look at, let alone go out.
When mice cross the border, wherever they go is not much better than locusts, and what is even more frightening is that mice can dig holes, and they can dig holes into the house to eat, and even bite people.
Both Bai Shu and Feng Han were on guard. In order to avoid fear when sleeping, they simply came to sleep by mistake. From five o'clock in the afternoon, one of them went to bed first, and the other stayed by. After an hour, the two of them switched shifts again.
Although the sound of the rainstorm is very loud, the sound insulation of the house is good. If there are mice burrowing in, they can be found immediately.
When the house was built, the foundation was built very high, and it was blocked by thick cement. Even if you wanted to get in, it was not so easy, but the basement was much worse.
On the sixth day after the arrival of the mice, Baishu heard the sound of mice digging holes in the basement during the night vigil. He took a small shovel and hit the source of the sound twice, and the sound of mice digging stopped immediately, but after waiting for three After 5 minutes, drilling began again.
Bai Shu was helpless.I boiled two pots of rat-repelling soup and sprinkled it on the corners of the wall every once in a while. Although I heard the sound of rats digging holes for a long time, no rats broke in after all.
Ever since the rats were everywhere, Bai Zhu wanted to keep a cat very much, and it happened that the family also had a dog in mind, so it would not be difficult to add a cat or two.
It's just that there are already so many raised on the roof, and now life is getting worse day by day, and if it doesn't work out, it will be watched by outsiders.
Bai Shu discussed it with Feng Han, and finally decided to raise a cat. Anyway, I believe that after this rat disaster, many people will have the same idea as Bai Shu.
A few more batches of herbs were dried. Due to the continuous rainstorm outside, the humidity in the room spread out. I was afraid that the herbs would get wet, so I had to take them out to dry regularly.
When Bai Shu woke up in the morning, the moment he opened the window, his face darkened instantly, he quickly closed the window, found a brazier and began to smoke moxa in the room.
There was a rancid smell outside, probably because the heavy rain had drowned the rat, and the rat's rancid smell was getting stronger and stronger. I believe the plague carried by the rat was not far away.
Just as Feng Han finished working in the rooftop greenhouse, he asked about the smell of burning wormwood, and he more or less guessed it.
"It looks like there's going to be another plague."
The situation of the plague last year is still vivid. In the face of the plague, human life is so cheap and fragile that it is unimaginable.
"If it's the plague, I know how to defend and treat it. It's just that the heavy rain and the rats make it impossible for people to go out. If we close the door, we will not be afraid at all, but the rest of the village will be hard to tell."
After all, after staying in this village for more than half a year, people in the village don't see each other when they look up. Anyone who dies will feel uncomfortable.
"Everyone has his own destiny, not to mention that the world will only become more and more chaotic in the future. It is a blessing to be gone at this time."
Persuaded by Feng Han, Bai Shu lay on the sofa and looked back at Feng Han with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of, we have prepared so much."
"Yeah." Feng Han sat beside Bai Shu, and after coming to the countryside for more than half a year, Feng Han's whole person has changed a lot.
At least in Bai Shu's eyes, the newcomer Feng Han has an indescribable delicacy. Of course, this is not a derogatory term, but this person's temperament is incompatible with the village, but although he still has a unique elegance, it has been worn down. After calming down the sense of incongruity, the whole person feels very soft.
"Feng Han." Bai Shu's mind was full of things, and he hesitated when he said it.
"Tell me." Feng Han's ability to observe words and expressions is much better than Bai Shu's.
Bai Shu fiddled with Ai Ye, and said, "I know you want to take root in the village, but your life is very long, what are your plans for the future? For example...something like getting married."
I don't know why, but Bai Shu's heart feels like a pinprick when asked such words.
Feng Han was startled for a moment, and then he sneered, rolling his eyes at Bai Shu with undisguised contempt: "Are there not many women who like me?"
Bai Shu first looked at Feng Han's overly delicate face, and then thought about it, whether in the city or in the countryside, there are always little girls approaching shyly, even if they are not boldly seduced, they will always look like a little girl. blushing.
"A lot."
"Then what do I like?" Feng Han asked again.
Bai Shu has never seen Feng Han dating a girlfriend: "No."
"That's it." Feng Han raised his legs and leaned on the sofa, squinted his eyes, and half-jokingly said, "I don't like women who are not as good-looking as me."
Bai Shu twitched the corners of her lips, and glanced at Feng Han's face. The girl who was prettier than Feng Han... probably didn't like Feng Han either.
"Then you'll be single forever."
"Isn't there someone sitting next to me?" Feng Han looked at Bai Shu with a mockery on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"You look so ugly, you will probably be single for the rest of your life."
Bai Shu patted the dried mugwort leaves in his hand onto Feng Han's face, pulling his cheeks to the sides: "Who is ugly? Do you think everyone has a pretty face like you?"
In fact, Bai Zhu is not ugly, and of course he is not handsome, he can only be said to be handsome, and there is a kind of warmth exuding from his bones, which makes people feel very good.
Feng Han just smiled and said nothing, he took a rest and went to the greenhouse in the yard to take care of things.Smoked moxa is not only in the building, but also in the greenhouse, especially the herd of livestock on the roof. During the winter snow disaster, many of them froze to death outside. Even if they survived, many farms would move as soon as possible for fear of further troubles.And those who raise livestock in the village don't know how much they will have left after the rat disaster. The livestock here may be the only source of meat.
After both smoked Ai, the two began to divide the work to clean up the feces in the circle. Baizhu was always shoveled into the bucket, and Feng Han poured it into the biogas tank to ferment.It may be due to the humidity or there may be too many rotting rats outside. Recently, there is a lot of biogas, and even biogas can meet the basic electricity consumption at home for a day.
Sheep manure is the easiest to take care of, while cow manure is the worst.
The sheep I bought are of the breed of dairy sheep, and it takes at least nine months to breed, not to mention the cows, which take longer.So when the two of them are free, they always pay attention to the two pigs. When they bought them, they thought they would give birth to more pigs, so they only bought one male and one female. Now they have been raising them for more than half a year, and there is no sign of them breeding. .
"Do you think the sow's stomach is getting bigger?"
The wind oil essence was added to the Fenghan mask, and the smell improved a lot.
"Probably." Feng Han didn't even learn much about pregnancy, let alone pigs.
The two of them checked a lot of information on the Internet and even books, but the effect of talking on paper is limited in practice.
Bai Shu couldn't help but patted the boar's butt lightly with the shovel: "Can't you give me some strength? Give me a daughter-in-law who hasn't bred me for so long?"
The boar snorted twice, thinking that Atractylodes was chasing it away so that it would be easier to clean, so he walked away.
"Why don't you go out in person?" Feng Han joked.
Bai Shu's face darkened: "Why don't you go out in person?"
Feng Han blinked, and said casually: "I'm talking about artificial insemination, little pig, are you thinking wrong?"
Bai Shu blushed, resisting the urge to slap Feng Han's face with the excrement shovel, and began to mutter about the problem of the boar's offspring, don't waste a long time buying a useless pig and feeding it for so long.
When eating at night, Bai Shu remembered the hand-rolled noodles his parents made for him when he was a child. For some reason, he wanted to eat it very much. He found the recipe for making hand-rolled noodles. After working in the kitchen for more than an hour, he finally brought out two decent bowls. When the noodles came out, two soft-boiled eggs were fried on top. When eating, poke the eggs, and the egg yolks would flow into the noodles and stir. The taste would be incredible.
Seeing the rain, many villagers couldn't help weeping with joy. This year's corn grains failed, and they originally wanted to replant other crops, but the groundwater level was getting lower and lower, and they all wondered how long it would take for them to completely dry up.
