Hiding in the mountains to watch the end of the world

Zhao Mian came back at night, but it was still a bit late. An Huaize had cooked the rice at home, and the only thing left was to cook.

An Huaize saw that Zhao Mian's eyes seemed a little heavy, so he asked, "What did the village chief tell you to do?"

"The village chief wants to build a wall around the village." Zhao Mian replied in a low voice, lighting the fire.

"Those three tigers are not easy to deal with. There's also the cougar next to it. I don't know what's inside." An Huaize frowned, a little dissatisfied. Didn't the village chief just want Brother Mian to take care of things in the mountains? Solve it?

Zhao Mian nodded, the village chief wanted him and Pingzi to go into the mountain to see if he could get rid of the three tigers next to him, but it's not that easy.

"Inside, the second half of Posi Mountain is the territory of jackals. There are brown bears on the Guiping Mountain side. I don't know what's next to the main road."

Zhao Mian was able to get rid of the three tigers, but he never thought that he could get rid of the three tigers by himself now.

"How to solve the puma?" An Huaize asked while helping Zhao Mian.

"Puma, as long as we teach them a lesson, we can guarantee that they will not invade our territory in the next period of time." Zhao Mian put the onion and garlic in and fried it, and then answered after a while.

"But it's next to the tiger's territory, isn't it difficult?" An Huaize knew why Zhao Mian thought about it for so long.

Zhao Mian nodded, "It's really difficult. We need to transport stones, and the tiger's territory is nearby. It's impossible not to know."

What he is most afraid of is that when the time comes, when everyone sees the tigers panicking, they will run back directly. Then, it will be the time for the predators to hunt them down.

"Then we can't build a fence this year?" An Huaize frowned.

"Probably, unless the tiger is killed or driven away." Zhao Mian has no other choice. The villagers may not dare to confront the tiger at that time, so it is difficult to say what to do.

An Huaize shrugged. The urine behavior of the villagers is almost like this. There was a plague in the first place, and a large number of men fell down. This time they went to the mountain and scared a group of people. By then, this matter will not fall on them. at home?

"How can you kill them? It's estimated that there are only five or six people in the village. If there are only three people in the village who have your abilities, it still has to fall on your heads." An Huaize snorted coldly.

"Borrowing a knife to kill people, leading the tiger to the deep mountains, and letting other predators fight the tiger is a good way."

Indeed, when the time came to the village, if they really wanted to attack the tiger, the three of them would be the only ones to go. He shot the tiger twice in the eye, but it was just blinding it. Come out how to kill the tiger.

I can only kill people with a knife, or I can drive them away, but there is little hope.

"Walking by the river often, there is no reason not to get your shoes wet. You are lucky to be able to escape the tiger this time, and you may not be able to do so next time." An Huaize naturally didn't want Zhao Mian to take risks.

"What the village chief means is that if it really doesn't work, go buy bricks." Zhao Mian covered the pot with a sad face.

An Huaize smiled, "It's okay to buy bricks. The refugees are probably bedridden now. There are not many survivors, and they don't have much strength."

Zhao Mian was still worried, "It's not difficult to buy bricks, at most it will cost more food, but I'm afraid that the fence will not be strong at that time. Tigers can easily knock down a tree. These cats, now a two This claw is very sharp, if there are not many prey in the winter mountain, and there is no way to catch food, it is very likely to go down the mountain, and if they set up a special place at that time, I am afraid that these bricks will not be able to withstand it."

The fence is thick, but by then there will be no prey in the mountains. If it is damaged a little, it will come in sooner or later, let alone leopards, bobcats, and pumas who can climb trees. There were no hands to mend the walls.

An Huaize couldn't believe it, "Is he really that smart?"

Zhao Mian smiled wryly, "They are very smart, and they have feelings for each other, and they are very persistent. Otherwise, how could I have been chased so far. If it wasn't for the brown bear blocking me, I'm afraid I would have to continue to escape."

Ordinary cats, if they stare at their prey, they really feel that they can't catch up, so forget it, and just go after something else.Unless you are extremely hungry, you will not easily work hard.

But it's different now, if you are targeted, you can only shake off, if you can't shake off, it will stick to you all the time.Unless you hurt it and make them fear you, or you have to kill it.

Now, if he goes into the mountain again, the three tigers will definitely recognize him. At that time, there will be another round of fleeing until he finds a way to kill the tiger.

An Huaize was silent for a while, the dishes in the pot were ready, Zhao Mian took out the dishes and re-fried other dishes, there was a sizzling sound in the pot, and the aroma soon became available.

"Can you use poison?" An Huaize asked suddenly.

Zhao Mian paused, "Yes."

But this... is against the rules. People in the mountains never use poison for hunting, but Zhao Mian thought again, it is really okay to use poison now, as there must be a lot of carnivores in the mountains. They used to live in the mountains. The ones in the house are all running out now, and it's not bad to kill some, anyway, they are all killed, and the poison is faster.

"As long as the bullets are treated with poison, although I have produced some now, I don't know how effective it will be." An Huaize was worried, will these animals not be afraid of poison after they have evolved?

"I'll go into the mountains tomorrow and try it out." Zhao Mian was going to experiment with pumas. Compared with tigers, he knew pumas better. Even if the poison didn't work, he could kill them with a gun.

"I'll go too." An Huaize also wanted to see and see.

"Don't worry, don't you still have to see a doctor for the people in Liujiatun? Send the people in Liujiatun away first."

"Yeah." An Huaize nodded, he really still had to go to the ward to have a look.

"By the way, the ones from Liujiatun are placed in the ward? That's not good, it's full of people with the plague." Zhao Mian suddenly thought of something.

An Huaize shook his head, "No, it's behind the house."

How can I put it in the ward, what if I accidentally get infected?

Zhao Mian didn't ask any more questions. It happened that the stir-fried rabbit meat was almost ready. Zhao Mian tasted the taste, and it was almost ready. The stir-fried rabbit meat should be stronger to taste. Lighter, I don't know if this will work.

Zhao Mian took a piece for An Huaize, "Try the taste, be careful not to burn it."

An Huaize bit it carefully, and it was fragrant in the mouth. It is very simple seasoning, but it can stir-fry something so fragrant.

"Chinese food is amazing." An Huaize walked over, glanced at the rabbit meat in the pot, "I want to eat it."

Zhao Mian found a small piece, which cooled quickly, and brought it to An Huaize after a while, "Is it strong?"

An Huaize shook his head, "It's very fragrant, better than Western food."

An Huaize had never eaten rabbit meat, because the family had raised rabbits before, so Yoyo would not eat rabbit meat, so he would not eat rabbits, which hurt his sister's heart.

Zhao Mian chuckled, "The baked ones are also good, I'll make them for you tomorrow."

The tip of the nose smelled of rabbit meat, An Huaize took out a small bowl, "I'll take some for Ersheng."

Zhao Mian nodded, "Ersheng tastes strong, I'll fry it again."

Zhao Mian put the vegetables in the pot on the plate, and then put a little bit of rabbit meat left in the pot, Zhao Mian put some seasoning and chili into it and fried it.

An Huaize took chopsticks and ate food slowly on the small table, and then felt a little choking in the kitchen, but the taste was even more fragrant.

"Huh? Brother Mian, what did you put?" An Huaize looked over there and asked.

"Chili, what's the matter? Are you choking?" Zhao Mian looked over, the pepper was a bit choking, Ozawa probably couldn't smell it.

chili?I used to live with my parents, and I occasionally put chili peppers in the dishes at home, but An Huaize didn't eat spicy food, so he didn't touch it. How come the chili peppers are so fragrant?

"I'll try." An Huaize walked over, and Zhao Mian took a piece out.

"Try it first, don't eat too much, don't choke if it's spicy." Zhao Mian was afraid that if he wasn't used to it, it wouldn't be good if he choked.

An Huaize doesn't eat spicy food, but this looks good, so he took a bite carefully. The chili here is spicy. An Huaize just took a bite, but he didn't feel anything, so he wanted to eat the rest.

"Don't." Zhao Mian was afraid that he would not be able to bear it later.

An Huaize was puzzled, but the more he chewed, the hotter it became, and he didn't even dare to swallow it.

"Ahem..." An Huaize ran out and spat out the meat.

Zhao Mian poured a large glass of water in fright, took it, "Drink the water quickly, be careful."

An Huaize's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he took the water glass and drank a big one directly.

Zhao Mian helped An Huaize wipe the sweat off his forehead, An Huaize coughed a few times, "Why... so spicy?"

Zhao Mian felt distressed, "The chili at home is spicy, don't eat it in the future."

Fortunately, the meat is not very tasty, and the chili has only been fried for a while, otherwise it will be more spicy.

An Huaize went to drink half a glass of water before slowly recovering, frowning with disgust, "Is this food edible?"

Zhao Mian nodded, "You can eat it, you only find it spicy if you can't eat it."

Like them, they can stand it since they were young, so naturally they don't feel spicy.

An Huaize drank water and felt uncomfortable, so he sat down slowly, and Zhao Mian wiped off the sweat that kept coming out for him.

An Huaize suddenly smelled a smell, "The food seems to be mushy?"

Zhao Mian was taken aback, put down his handkerchief and ran in, it was indeed burnt and burnt a lot, Zhao Mian had to take out some good ones and wash the pot.

"I'll take the rest of the rabbit leg to Ersheng." Zhao Mian didn't want to cook it anymore.

An Huaize didn't care too much, so he just took it. It's not easy for Ersheng to take care of Huzi by himself.

Afraid of delaying time, Zhao Mian went out with the rabbit legs. An Huaize waited until his body stopped sweating, and arranged the dishes on the table. When he went into the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, he found that there was a bowl of rabbit meat on the stove. It's a bit mushy, and the taste is no longer the same as before.

"Do you still want to eat?"

An Huaize frowned, how can I eat it?Well, even if it's not all paste, it's a lot of paste, how to eat?He can't eat it, it must be Brother Mian.

Anyway, there was no shortage of food at home. An Huaize couldn't bear the smell of burnt food, so he took out the vegetables and poured them into the pig trough, and then washed the dishes.

Zhao Mian came back soon, and he didn't see the bowl of rabbit meat on the table, and he didn't see it when he entered the kitchen, so he knew that Ozawa had thrown it away.

Just throw it away, Zhao Mian just felt it was a pity, but it was still edible, but Ozawa didn't like him to eat these bad meals, so Zhao Mian didn't mind it.

"Let's eat." An Huaize carried An An down and put her on the baby seat next to her.

Zhao Mian took An An's small bowl, and there was still a little egg custard in it, which was still hot.

An An half-opened his eyes, but was still sleepy, so Zhao Mian stopped feeding him egg custard, took the bottle, An An subconsciously held the bottle, drank a couple of sips, and fell asleep again.

An Huaize filled the rice, took a bowl and put it aside, glanced at his son, his eyes were full of doting, "Sleeping like a pig."

Zhao Mian laughed, "Let's eat."

After eating, An Huaize went to mix the medicine, and Zhao Mian helped pack the medicine by the side, and quickly made more than 140 medicines.

"140 eight people, the number of people in the two villages, 70 people in our village, and 78 people in Liujiatun." An Huaize wrote it down in the notebook next to him.

"People in the village haven't seen a doctor for a while." Zhao Mian said suddenly.

An Huaize nodded, "Except for those who contracted the plague, they are all gone, and Liujiatun is the same. Except for those who came to heal their injuries, there is nothing else. Everyone is going to buy Chinese medicine, and sometimes they will be injured on the way, but they are very careful. The package was very tight, so no one got sick again."

During this period of time, An Huaize was very relaxed, so he didn't go to sit there anymore. He kept reading at home, dispensing medicine, and occasionally went to the ward to have a look.

"How about seeing a doctor in the village and using the price of the medicine to calculate the consultation fee?" Zhao Mian asked, as if calculating something.

An Huaize frowned, "What about the price of the medicine?"

Zhao Mian pursed his lips, "It was said to be [-] catties per person before, but I think about it, the price is too high, and some people may have opinions. The price fluctuates up and down, so no one can say anything."

An Huaize nodded, the price of this traditional Chinese medicine is not high, but he has heard a lot from the people in Liujiatun, so he almost knows the price, so it is not low.

"What about the plague? The price is not low." An Huaize suddenly laughed.

Osmanthus grass, sunburst tree, these two things, he didn't want to count them, because if he really set the price, it would be too high, probably like Liujiatun.

"In exchange for traditional Chinese medicine, those fifteen families in Liujiatun can get free of medical expenses." Zhao Mian replied, some people can't treat them too well.

"No, the dead family has [-] points each, and the remaining eight people have [-] points each." An Huaize shook his head.

"That's fine." Zhao Mian nodded in agreement, that's about it.

The two made it past twelve o'clock in the evening, and fed An An dinner halfway through, and coaxed An An to sleep.An Huaize also went to pull out the needles for the two people in Liujiatun, and he probably woke up tomorrow morning.

"Go to sleep, you can't finish it all night." Zhao Mian saw that the time was almost up, and he had to go to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, so he had to get up early.

An Huaize looked at the time, it was already past twelve o'clock, and he had to get up early tomorrow, and this couldn't be finished.

"Then let's do it tomorrow night." An Huaize finished the medicine in his hand, counted it, and wrote down the number.

After Zhao Mian packed up his things, the two of them went to take a shower and went to bed.

The next day, the two people in Liujiatun woke up, but they were so weak that they couldn't even speak.

"Take it home, just feed some soup for the next two days." An Huaize ordered a few more words, and everyone nodded quickly and wrote them down.

"This is medicine, you go over there to register, go back and let people in your village come and buy medicine." An Huaize gave ten medicines to everyone, including those who died in the mountains, "This is yours, fifteen For other people, let them come and buy by themselves."

An Huaize was not afraid that they would give medicine to others, so just give it, anyway, it was his own points deducted.

Several people went to register as promised, and Zhao Mian explained one by one how many points their family had left.

"Doctor An, why are there so many points?" They exclaimed around Liu, why so many.

"I'll take it for you, talk a lot." An Huaize said impatiently.

Everyone quickly shut up, but their noses were a little sour. They thought that one or two hundred points would be good, and this was still the case of a dead person.

Didn’t they say it before, they discovered the new drug and told Dr. An that the address was only [-] points, and the new drug came over, [-] points, this cinnamon grass, they found it before, they thought it would be good to get [-] or [-] points this time It's gone.

"Okay, go back quickly and come back in ten days." An Huaize told them to go back quickly.

As soon as the people from Liujiatun left, the people from Zhaojiatun surrounded them, and Aunt Pang was waiting for people from the eleven families.

"Doctor An..."

As soon as he called out, An Huaize's face turned cold. He had the ability to come to his house to find fault before, but now he is here?Then follow his rules.

The smiles on the faces of Aunt Pang Da and the others froze, and then they looked at Zhao Mian, "Boy Mian, we also need to buy medicine."

Compared with Dr. An, everyone still thinks that Mian is easier to talk to. After all, he belongs to the old Zhao's family, so how could he not help.

Zhao Mian's face was expressionless. There are some people with good conduct and some with bad conduct.

"To cure the plague, we use traditional Chinese medicine to exchange points, and we don't charge for food."

"What?! We are from the same village, and we don't know where to find this traditional Chinese medicine." Aunt Pang and the others immediately exploded, pointing at Zhao Mian and cursing, "Boy Mian, you just want to embarrass the aunts. Ouch, this one who kills thousands of swords is really deceived by lard and seduced by vixen, if you treat the villagers like this, you will not be afraid of thunder."

With a cold face, Zhao Mian took An Huaize away, and left a sentence, "Then chop me up. Whenever you hack me, change the rules."

"..."

"Oh! Yaoshou, how can this person behave like this, no, we have to go talk to the village chief and let him uphold justice."

An Huaize heard it funny, "Let's go, let them make trouble, let's go to Uncle Dagen's house first."

Zhao Mian nodded, "There is no rush to enter the mountain, it's still early, and I haven't had breakfast yet."

The two went to Uncle Dagen's house, and when they saw that the door was open, they yelled outside, and Uncle Dagen answered inside and let them in.

"Boy Mian, Doctor An, why do you come here when you have time?" Uncle Da Gen was chopping wood, the weather is getting colder and colder, so the firewood must be ready.

"We're here to ask about the purslane." An Huaize cut to the chase. He had wanted to ask for a long time, but he didn't have time.

"Oh, which one? I asked, and our kid said, last time I saw Pei boy picking purslane at Dongmianpo, and asked him to pick some back." Uncle Dagen immediately thought of it. "Do you want me to call our kid back? I just asked a few words."

An Huaize looked at Zhao Mian, Zhao Mian shook his head, "No need, Uncle Dagen, let's ask, and leave first if we have something to do."

Uncle Dagen nodded, "If you have something to do, do it quickly, don't delay."

When the two left the yard, An Huaize was puzzled, "If you don't ask clearly, how do you know where the purslane is?"

"Just ask Zeng Pei directly, I'm afraid he still has something to hide."

Of course An Huaize knew that Zeng Pei was hiding something. Zeng Pei must have known about the plague, but why didn't he tell it? He didn't know. Ask Zhao Dao, maybe he can know more clearly.

The two went directly to the Zeng's house. The Zeng's house was in the last row, not close to their house. The yard was not big. People with foreign surnames had always had small yards. The Li's house was bigger and had more people, while the Zeng's house was much smaller. , less than two hundred square meters, but there are not many people in the family, and it is enough.

"Is Aunt Zeng there?" Zhao Mian knocked on the door.

No one responded, but Zhao Mian knew there must be someone inside, so he probably didn't want to talk to him.

An Huaize frowned, "Is he not here?"

"Someone's there." Zhao Mian could feel it, but maybe he didn't want to talk to him.

"Then come over in a few days?" An Huaize hesitated, it would be impolite to keep knocking on the door, but in a few days, it is estimated that he will continue to procrastinate.

Zhao Mian shook his head, and continued to knock on the door. After a long time, someone inside responded, and it was Zeng Pei who opened the door.

"Uncle Mian, why come here when you have time?" Zeng Pei didn't move away, and didn't intend to let them in.

"I want to ask about the purslane." Zhao Mian didn't hesitate and asked directly.

Zeng Pei's face changed, and then he smiled dryly, "What purslane?"

Zhao Mian looked at him silently, Zeng Pei's forehead was sweating, as if he suddenly remembered, "Oh, you mean purslane, there are a lot of purslane out there now, it's the purslane that eats it. It's the season, does Uncle Mian want to pick some to take home?"

Zhao Mian had a slight smile on his face, "Well, I heard from Uncle Dagen that the purslane that Daozi brought home last time tasted good. I went to pick some, but the taste was not that good. I just want to ask, you Where did you pick it up?"

Zeng Pei's eyes were evasive, and he said with a dry smile, "Where... can I go, just outside the village, it's different every time, and I don't know where the taste is better."

"Oh, that's right, that's fine, let's go first." Zhao Mian didn't force him, it seemed that he didn't intend to say anything, so forget it.

An Huaize and the two left, Zeng Pei quickly closed the courtyard door, and when he returned to the house, Aunt Zeng was setting out the meals.

"Son, why didn't you say it? Didn't you say..."

"Mother! If you tell me, the village says I'm hiding it. Then, how should our family explain it?" Zeng Pei looked aggrieved. He only thought of something else recently, but he didn't dare to say it out, fearing that it would happen again. People in the village said that he had something wrong with him.

Aunt Zeng sighed, "Forget it, let's eat."

"I shouldn't have asked the rice to pick some back last time." Zeng Pei complained, he only reminded him because he had a good relationship with the rice, but who knew that the rice would say it.

"You didn't let Daozi keep it a secret. Besides, it's okay to tell it. Doctor An may be useful, but this purslane is also a new medicine. It's just that you can tell Daozi not to talk about it later." Aunt Zeng comforted her son, "Don't think too much, let's eat."

Zeng Pei just sat down to eat, but he was really uncomfortable. If other people found out and blamed him again, why is Daozi like this?

"Diaozi didn't do it on purpose, don't think about it, ah!" Aunt Zeng was afraid that he would try to mess with him again. In this village, his son has a good relationship with Daozi now, so it's not good to push another brother out.

Zeng Pei nodded, "Understood, mother."

What Niang said was right, but next time Daozi had to keep him a secret, otherwise this brother would be wronged.
