Hiding in the mountains to watch the end of the world

Zhao Er couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to go back and think about it again, testing medicine is not a trivial matter.

After Zhao Er and the others left, An Huaize took the bed sheet that Zhao Ergou had been lying on, and it was covered with some mucus, which was disgusting. Zhao Mian and the others closed the door. Looking at the people who were still outside the door, they were very convinced. In order to watch the excitement, are you not afraid of the sun?

"Doctor An, boy Mian, is there any way to prevent this plague?"

"Uncles, let's all go back." Zhao Mian said helplessly, "Ozawa can't cure this disease, and the only way to prevent it is to stay away from the patient, but the patient has an incubation period, and some patients don't know when they are sick. Now there is a plague in the village. I'm afraid that people from outside will also come in."

"Then what should we do?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, the plague was no joke.

"I haven't thought of a way yet, everyone pay attention."

Everyone went back in a daze, Zhao Mian and An Huaize went back to the main room, Zhao Daqiang asked, "What's the matter with these two dogs?"

"Plague, try not to get close to outsiders in the future, and don't get too close to Uncle Zhao's house. I don't know if they pay attention." Zhao Mian was still worried. After all, Zhao Ergou's parents didn't know it was a plague before. Pay attention to the infection, whoever encounters it will be unlucky.

"Ouch, just now the second son of a bitch met Cuihua who is in charge of the house, it's okay, ouch, quickly boil the water and scald it." When Zhao's mother heard this, she was so frightened that she gave An'an to Zhao Mian, and she wailed, "Go back I'll boil water for you."

An Huaize went to burn the sheets, so far he doesn't know if these viruses can be scalded to death by boiling water, so they are usually burned directly, there are a lot of sheets in the house, but it is not a solution to continue like this.

Zhao Mian didn't stop him, he always wanted to reassure his parents, "Mom, it's fine if you don't break the skin, just be careful."

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother hurried back, and while leaving, Zhao's mother scolded the second son of a bitch, "Damn it, if something happens to our family, I will tear her up."

When An Huaize came back, he took off his white coat. He didn't meet Zhao Ergou, but An Huaize also planned not to keep it at home in the future.

Zhao Mian took the white coat to the consultation room, and An Huaize also carried An An upstairs.

In the evening, after the two had dinner, someone informed them to go to the ancestral hall for a meeting, "Brother Hall, Dr. An, the patriarch and the patriarch asked you to go to the meeting, and everyone has gone."

The person who came to inform was Mr. Zhao's grandson, who was only 14 years old. An Huaize had met him a few times, but this child was very shy, and he left with a blushing face every time. Zhuang, he looked very honest and honest. At the time, An Huaize thought it was someone's child, but when he came back and asked, he found out that it was the son of the uncle's family. His name was Xiaolei, and they were ranked twelve in this lineage.

"We know, we'll be there later." Zhao Mian nodded and asked Xiao Lei to inform the others.

Zhao Leifeng ran away likewise, but this time he didn't blushed. An Huaize smiled lightly, with smiles in his eyes, "These twelve are too cute."

Zhao Mian just nodded, and went up with a sullen face, "Let's go there first, I'll carry An An over."

An Huaize blinked, touched his nose, and soon Zhao Mian came down with An An in his arms, walking ahead without waiting for An Huaize.

"Wait for me." An Huaize chased after him, and An An was always in his arms trying to hug An Huaize.

An Huaize suppressed a smile, "Brother Mian, a brat is not my thing. If I grow up a few more years, I can be his father."

Zhao Mian was helpless, "I can be your father no matter how old I am this year."

"It seems to be right." An Huaize muttered.

Zhao Mian stopped, and put An An in his arms. An Huaize wanted to say why he got angry so easily this time, so he was pressed on the back of his head and gagged.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Mian and Dr. An?"

"What are you looking at, hurry up and hurry up."

The two aunts covered their mouths and sniggered, and hurried away, "Be careful, I'm sorry, ouch, it's nice to be young."

When I ran to the front, I looked back and saw an aunt in front of me, and she yelled, "Oh, sister-in-law Dagen, let me tell you, just now, we saw Mr. Mian and Dr. An, oh, it's hard to say it." Blushing, this big crowd, these two people kissed directly, ouch, hey, I'm so ashamed."

An Huaize pushed Zhao Mian away with one hand, and looked at complainingly, "The village doesn't know what to say about us tomorrow."

Zhao Mian's mood improved, and he didn't care, "It's not the first day I was told, give me An An, don't get tired of hugging." It weighs [-] catties, and it's tiring to carry it for such a long distance.

An Huai Ze angrily gave An An to him, and walked three steps ahead, Zhao Mian hurried to catch up, An Huai Ze quickly walked away, one meter away, Zhao Mian had no choice but to stop chasing.

When the two walked to the ancestral hall, they saw a few aunts gathered together, covered their mouths and snickered when they saw them coming in, and muttered something in a low voice. He didn't have a thick skin, An Huaize glared at Zhao Mian, why did such a thing outside.

No one was there, everyone gathered together and were talking, Zhao's mother saw the two coming in and beckoned them to pass.

"Ozawa, come here, mother has something to say to you."

An Huaize took a deep breath and walked over, followed by Zhao Mian.

Seeing her son following him every step of the way, Zhao's mother snorted unhappily, "I won't eat him, and I didn't call Xiaoze to come over, but I didn't call you."

Zhao Mian coughed lightly, but didn't speak.

Zhao's mother sighed, very worried, "Okay, we're all here anyway, Mian'er, Ozawa, when mother came here today, she heard a few aunts talking about you, mother knows that you have lived in the city for a long time I don’t care, but this kind of thing, who doesn’t close the door, oh, it’s embarrassing for my mother to say it, it’s not about embarrassment.”

Zhao Mian just nodded, but didn't say anything. Zhao's mother knew her son's temperament, no matter what, she was born by herself. When she saw that her son didn't talk to her, she knew she didn't listen.

"Ozawa, do you hear that?"

Zhao's mother looked at An Huaize, her son didn't listen, Xiao Ze just listened, anyway, a slap would not make a sound, if Xiao Ze listened, such embarrassing things would not happen in the future.

An Huaize lowered his head, almost kicking Zhao Mian like a ball in his heart, and nodded with a blushing face, "Understood, mother."

The lights in the ancestral hall were not very bright, Zhao's mother looked at An Huaize's blushing face, and she was not very hopeful, or how could his son be so fascinated by Ozawa that he couldn't find him, there was really nothing they could do about it It's better, this blushing, she looks better than a little girl.Fortunately, Ozawa doesn't like to smile at ordinary times, otherwise he would recruit more people and his son would have a headache.

"Okay, let's go back, how can we still cling to our parents after we split up?" Mother Zhao shook her head, not knowing how much the two children listened to, she let them go.

The two walked back to the original place, and they also had to stand in a specific position for the meeting here. Under normal circumstances, the meeting was only held at the village chief's house, one person from each family, and then assigned according to seniority. The younger generation could only stand at the old A generation behind.Sometimes, during the meeting during the day, when everyone is in the field, they will come to the ancestral hall. Everyone is so far away, and no one suffers.

The important thing is that the whole village has a meeting. At this time, the village head's house is not big enough. You have to come to the ancestral hall for the meeting, and you have to arrange it according to seniority. The seniority of the head of the family determines whether you stand in the front or the back.Of course, you can also go alone at your own home, depending on your personal preference. Anyway, if you don’t go, it will be invalid if you object to the regulations that have been set by everyone.

Therefore, Zhao Mian and Zhao Mian were standing in the second row. An Huaize was sweating from the heat after standing for a while, and An An was even worse. Zhao Mian carried An An back. After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhao Mian came back Everyone is here, the village chief cleared his throat from above, "Everyone be quiet, today, there are two things, one is about building the fence, and the second is about the plague Lie."

As soon as it quieted down below, everyone was in a commotion. They were all taken aback by what the village chief said, why is there still a plague.

"What? Village chief, plague? What plague?" Someone asked loudly.

The weather was hot, and there was no fan in the ancestral hall. The village chief wiped his sweat, "I'll talk about building the wall first, and we'll talk about the plague later."

After everyone quieted down, the village chief said, "Some of you know about Caojia Village, this..."

"Quiet, quiet!" The village chief said with a grimace, "Don't be noisy, you can discuss it after I finish speaking, there are a lot of things to discuss today."

Everyone swallowed their words, and the village head continued, "Some refugees came to this Caojia Village some time ago. There is no food in the town, and the people in the town are unwilling to give them food anymore. There are many people Going down to the village to beg for food, the thing about Caojia Village is the fight between the villagers of Caojia Village and the refugees. These refugees have been eating for more than half a month, and the people of Caojia Village really don’t want to give it away. Let them go to other places. Who knows, since they gathered together to grab food, everyone knows that Caojia Village is a big village, and now there are three 400 People, we don’t have so many people in our village, those refugees were beaten away, the elders and I were afraid that they would stare at us, so we thought, build a wall for the village, what do you have now Opinions are forthcoming."

Those who started to yell loudly below, and those who didn't know about it all went to ask others, "Do you know anything about Caojia Village? Don't you know?"

"Do you know anything about Caojia Village?"

"I know, that's right..."

After everyone got to know each other, they found out, ouch, these refugees are really unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. Now whose food is blown by the strong wind, if you don’t give you food, go grab it. There is no Cao in their village. There are so many villages, just in case they are targeted.

"Village chief, it's good to build a fence, but there's not that much food to buy."

After Zhao Daqiang heard this, his heart sank again. Now everyone must have at least [-] to [-] catties of grain in each household, but his family really doesn’t have that much. If it is necessary to build a fence, Zhao Daqiang is not very willing. , I really can't get it out.

"Village chief, how big is the wall?"

"Village chief, after the wall is built, is it necessary to enclose all the land, or it will be far away to go to the land."

"It's so hot now, it's hard to go to the ground during the day, and I get sunburned every day. If the fence is built, wouldn't it be night? Then there is no time to rest."

"That's right. The rice is growing fast this year, and it looks like it's almost earing now. Everyone needs to topdress it. There's no time to build a fence."

……

Everyone, you say one sentence to another, the subtext is, our house is not free, but we are still afraid that refugees will stare at our village, and want to build a wall, but there is no way, the village chief, please think of a way.

An Huaize snickered from behind, Zhao Mian blocked him, it would be bad if someone saw him.

The village head coughed lightly, "Everyone be quiet, that's it. I discussed with the clan elders. For the bricks, I will use the stones from the Black Stone Valley in the mountains. Those stones must be enough to build the wall, so oh , so there is no need for everyone to go out and buy food.”

"Oh, that's fine, but the village chief, who will transport it back? It will take a lot of stones."

Everyone looked at the households with ox carts in tacit understanding, and Zhao Mian's family with horse carts was not left behind. The meaning in their eyes was that if your family has a cart, of course you should transport it back.

"That's it, this one. Although you don't need to buy bricks, everyone has to pay for food. They are used to feed the workers. Do you have any opinions on this?"

Most people still agreed, "I have no objection, village chief."

However, some people disagreed, "What? You still need to pay food? It's fine if you can't eat at home, and it's not far away."

"Listen to me, everyone. Everyone is doing things for the village. The time for this work is also determined according to the weather. We can't let everyone come back from work without a bite of hot food. Every family has to provide a labor force. , if anyone is unwilling to do the work, then move out, and the village will build a house for you outside the fence."

The village chief's face darkened after he said that, meaning that this matter was not for discussion, and everyone did not object. The clan elders all agreed, and it was all for the good of the village, so let's pay the food.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Then pay the food."

There are also people who are not very willing to contribute labor. There are not enough people in the family to work in the field, so it is better to get sunburned alone.It is about to be topped up. If a labor force is allocated, when will the sunburn be healed? What should I do if I have heatstroke?

"Village chief, there are not many laborers at home, and the work in the field can't be left behind. The weather is so hot and it's so easy to get sunburned. If we divide a labor force, we don't want to lose the harvest in the field."

The village chief's family doesn't have a lot of labor, and one son can't leave the house yet. In three or two days, he will go to Dr. An's side to see how he is recovering, so naturally he has considered it.

"It's like this. During the day, I go to the Black Stone Valley to transport stones. At night, everyone in the village, as long as they are over 14 years old, regardless of gender, have to come out to work. The women go to do the work in the field. If there are several aunts who come out to cook, the men will build the fence. In some families, there is only one man, and he will come every other day. If there are two or more men, one man will come out every day. .”

"Then when will you go to bed? It's not easy to sleep during the day."

"It's like this, rest during the day, and work time is from the sun going down at night until the sun goes up the next morning. The village will notify you when you come. I discussed it with the clan elders, for example, you There are two laborers in the family. One came to transport stones today. I will continue to build the fence at night, but I will do some lighter work. The next day I will switch to the other. Pick one whenever you want to work, but come every day, but if you work day and night, come every other day, understand?"

Everyone understands that the arrangement was almost like this before, and everyone is familiar with it, but it is just so tiring.

"The village chief, those of us with ox carts can't transport the stones back. The cattle are exhausted and don't get paid at all. Our cattle also have to rest and eat."

No, although they are livestock, but whose cattle are not well served, they are usually served with good water and grass, and the time to pull the cart is not short, and they are exhausted to death. Who wants to.

"Then let's hire a car for the grain. How about ten catties of grain a day? It's not much to share evenly. Do you have any opinions?"

Some people don't want it, it's too little, "Ten catties is too little, last time our family went to work in Liujiatun, we had [-] catties."

"That is to say, this is too little. If our cattle work, they can eat ten kilograms of grass a day."

The village chief frowned. Since his son had an accident, he didn't care much about outside affairs. He didn't know the price. Now he only wants to guard the remaining youngest son. He is afraid that something will happen. This village chief is a bit I can't do what I want.

Seeing that the village chief didn't speak, Uncle Zhao sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "That's thirty catties, but you have to figure out what to do for the cow's grass. The village doesn't have enough manpower."

Everyone thinks this is acceptable, and at most the mother-in-law at home can go back to grass during the day.

Seeing that his son was silent, Zhao Daqiang hurriedly asked, "What about the carriage of our Mian'er family?"

Zhao Mian and An Huaize didn't care much about the food. Their horses would go out to graze on their own every day and come back when they were full. Sometimes they forgot to know the reins during the day, so they would go out at night and would not enter the crop fields. , so their family doesn't have to worry about the grass thing now.Just transport the stone back and let it out at night.

Zhao Erye pondered, "It's also thirty catties."

Zhao Erye didn't want to be special, although the carriage was very special, but well, it's better not to let people gossip, since the family does not lack this kind of food.

Zhao Daqiang stopped talking, thinking that his father was too old-fashioned, Mian'er's carriage was worth three or four bullock carts, and they only had [-] catties of grain a day. Isn't this work for nothing?

"Then my family will only have one horse, and a small car will not be in the way." Although Zhao Mian didn't care about the food, he didn't want to make people feel easy to talk and bully, even grandpa.

Two horse-drawn carts are comparable to three or four cows, and one horse is almost as good as one cow, so it's not a loss.

Second Master Zhao was not annoyed either, he would be really stupid if the stupid grandson really didn't object, he just wanted his grandson to object on purpose.

Everyone has seen Zhao Mian's family's carriage pulling carts, ouch, this is much easier to use than an ox cart, since there is one less horse, it can save a lot of things to be transported.

The village chief set a price, "How about fifty catties of grain for two horses? It's quicker."

It was almost the same, Zhao Mian nodded in agreement, but then said, "Xiao Ze is a doctor, and he has to study with Uncle Qi during the day, so it's not easy to work."

Second Master Zhao wanted to agree, but he couldn't say it well. He had just seen Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zhao also thought about this problem, "Then Dr. An will be spared. Everyone who goes out to transport stones will inevitably get sunburned." Yes, I have to take a look when I come back, if Dr. An goes to work, he won't be able to do much."

Some people were secretly dissatisfied, and some persuaded, "Doctor An has to see a doctor and study, and he doesn't have much time to do work. Even if he does work, he can't learn. Don't you look at the time when you went to weed the field before. I heard that All the work at home is done by Mian Boy."

When everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case. Let him build the fence. Hey, he can't do the work in the field or at home. If the fence is built, it will collapse, or he should not go.

An Huaize just heard something, and gritted his teeth. This is his history of humiliation, but he can also weed the vegetable field, but he does it at home.

An Huaize didn't refute, this was just asking for humiliation. Besides, he was going to study medicine and see a doctor, so he really didn't have time to do work, so why make things difficult for himself.

"How does the Mian boy's family count as a labor force?" A member of the family who also had two labor forces asked, although he knew that Dr. An couldn't work, but he was very upset.

Zhao Mian didn't change his face, "It counts as two."

He used to work overworked every day at the construction site, and he had to go out to work part-time at night, so it's not the same. Now he can rest for four hours a day, and Zhao Mian is not afraid of this kind of intensive work.

Everyone couldn't make a mistake, but the village chief was afraid that he would be exhausted, so he suggested, "In this way, boy Mian doesn't have to go into the mountains during the day, he can just pull the cart, anyway, your horses only listen to you." .”

Some people wanted to borrow a carriage before, but they were almost kicked by the horse. If it wasn't for Zhao Mian's presence, they would probably have lost half their lives. Their horses are also docile in front of Zhao Mian, and sometimes they even lash out at An Huaize. tempered.

"The village chief, how much is the daily salary for the workers?"

The village head made fun of the person who asked the question, "Then you are paid every day, and you have to collect your food every day. Isn't that the number, and you are paid a fart salary."

Everyone laughed, isn't it? Every day, the food is paid and the food is returned. It's not the same number, and I don't know how to calculate it.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to ask, the village chief asked, "Do you have any other opinions? If not, then we will make this regulation."

"Then how much food do you have to pay every day? You can tell me the number, village chief."

"You don't have to pay it every day, the daily expenses are not too big, and it's not easy to calculate if you want to share it equally. There is still some public food in the clan, so just record it every day. Pay after the fence is built."

The public grain in the clan comes from the public land, and I usually help the poor families in the clan. There is also the problem of eating for my seventh uncle. I don’t need much, and there is a lot left every year. In the end, I sell it for money and save it for the clan. That said, I will take out the money if I have something to do. This time, all the money in the clan has been bought for food, and there is still a lot of it.

"Then just use the one from the clan, wouldn't it be fine?" An Huaize asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid some people don't want it. The things in the clan belong to everyone, and some people feel that they are paying themselves with their own things, which is not easy to deal with."

This is all right, An Huaize raised his eyebrows, he didn't need to calculate so carefully.

"Then when will I have the opportunity to use the food in the clan? I feel like there is no chance to use it."

"Big pots of rice are usually used when offering sacrifices to ancestors. During Chinese New Years and festivals, sometimes the clan will organize the clan's aunts to make some food for everyone, but there is not much to use, and there will be leftovers in the end."

An Huaize found it troublesome, but he didn't dare to speak. He is now a foreigner who has no right to speak. Don't think he is a doctor. Everyone lowers his bottom line. When encountering things in the clan, everyone will not Concession, did you not say a word without looking at other people with foreign surnames?

When the two were talking, in just a few sentences, everyone had almost settled on the rules. An Huaize was surprised, and asked Zhao Mian in a low voice, "What about the cement?"

"The village will make it. The soil method is much better than cement, but it is not easy to do. Now everyone is greedy for the convenience of going out to buy cement. In fact, the village is much better than the ones sold outside, and the cost is also lower. Everyone thinks it is troublesome. In fact, they are familiar with it. Do it, you can do a lot in one day.”

It turns out that An Huaize is a businessman. I have never heard of this kind of cement. The cement outside is of such a few specifications. I really haven't said that there is any new cement. I didn't expect Zhaojiatun to have it.

"Village chief, how big is the wall? Do you want to enclose all the fields? It's also convenient."

Zhao Xi interjected. He knew how powerful those people were. "It's not good. It's too big. It might be too late. If our village is really targeted, there won't be a gap."

Someone looked over with dissatisfaction, and shouted, "What are you talking about, a kid."

Zhao Xi's seniority is low, so naturally he can't say anything. It would be fine if he went out to live and start a family. Everyone is also a parent, and they have to make up their own minds. these concepts.

"Xizi is right. It's too big to enclose the land, but if you don't enclose it, it won't be a solution for those people to occupy the outside, and it will be inconvenient for everyone to go to the field."

The village snorted coldly, and hated those refugees deeply. It wasn't for them, and his son wouldn't be able to walk now. "Just enclose the village, and make a smaller wall, four or five meters high, so they can't get in." Just come and protect the women and children, our men in Zhaojiatun are not afraid of them."

When everyone thought about it, they felt that this was okay. They had no worries and were not afraid of those things.

"Okay, do you have any other questions?" The village head asked loudly.

No one spoke, everyone shook their heads, Zhao Mian frowned, "It's not safe to just build a wall, four or five meters, a ladder will go up, and it's not convenient for everyone to go down to the ground, unless there are more doors on the wall, but the ground There are crops all over the place. When the time comes, people will not fight with us, and they will directly collect the grain from the field. There must be a lot of them with a wall, and our reaction is not so fast. That's it, a season of grain has been planted in vain."

No, everyone is also worried about this, Zhao Xi is not at ease, "But if the land is surrounded, it is better not to surround it, and if something happens, it will block the road."

Zhao Xi's idea was a bit lacking. An Huaize replied, "You can surround the village first, and then the fields. The trouble is that it's a bit troublesome, but with two layers of protection, if you go out at that time, you can't beat it, and you can go back. The outer wall is built higher. One point, if they can’t come up, don’t worry, you don’t even need to hit them, throwing things on it can kill them.”

"Besides, there are big cats in the mountain now, and I don't know if I can go down the mountain. Although the Black Stone Valley is not a deep mountain, it must be guarded against. So everyone, go to transport the stones. Zhao Xi, you have to follow, and there is also a patrol team just in case. One, Uncle Tie, you have to start making some knives and arrows. If a big cat goes down the mountain and enters the village, everyone can’t fight with a kitchen knife. During this time, people who go to the mountains must prepare a hatchet and can’t relax .”

Everyone heard, "That's right."

Second Master Zhao nodded proudly, "Is there any more, let's talk about it together."

It's gone, Zhao Mian and the others can only consider these, after all, they are not familiar with these, so it's not bad to think of them.
