Doomsday Grain

Every other day, the two of them had to go to the city to receive the courier, but they never went back to the house they bought in the county.When people in the village asked, they said that there were still decorations in the building that needed to be considered, so they shopped around and took a look.Others know that they burn a lot of money, and look at a few more, of course, the fact is the same.

I took my grandpa to pick up the cattle. Grandpa bought four of them with no concern for money because he was worried about famine in the future.Two adult cows, one male and one female, and two calves, one male and one female.The pigs picked a few litters and bought eight piglets. The previous livestock pen was a bit small. Grandpa decided to chop down another piece of corn in the yard and now use bricks to build a pen for raising chickens, ducks and geese.

The chickens, ducks and geese are bought ready-made directly from the village, and the price is high, and the bought ones are easy to lay eggs.Lin Qian said to the outside world that the boss likes to eat the eggs laid by the poultry in the village and no one would find it strange.

Bao Shantou was finally settled and transferred, and He Yangxuan poured all the cash reserved in his hand into it.At this time, the time of the end of the world that Lin Qian knew was very close.

And when the unknown plague was first reported on television, work on the mountain was only halfway through.

Someone in the village asked Baoshantou what to do, Lin Qian only said that it was used to grow fungus, but it was only this autumn, so he could only make some simple preparations, and the planting would be officially planted next year.

The source of the plague has not yet given a definite answer, and there is no way to start the treatment. The only thing that can be done is conservative treatment. People who are infected with the virus will become unconscious after a few days of fever.At the time of the report, the areas hardest hit by the plague had been quarantined as a whole, and disinfection items were distributed to every household, and the streets were disinfected intensively every day.

Lin Qian understood that it must be because someone died because of this, otherwise, if he was simply unconscious, he would not have reached such a high level.

However, such isolation efforts still failed to prevent the spread of the plague.This is a world-class plague, no region can be spared, the difference is only the time of infection.

Lin Qian had prepared enough disinfection items. Lin Qian planned to start a systematic disinfection of his home, but was stopped by his grandfather.

"If it's a livestock pen, it's justifiable to disinfect the animals for fear of getting sick here. If there is no reason to disinfect the inside and outside of the house, if someone in the village catches the plague in the future, someone will blame us. Don't forget you and the little one." The Xuans are all from the disaster area, and you won’t be able to pick them off even if they are blamed for you.”

Lin Qian frowned and said, "I've been out of the disaster area for two months, and the place where the plague started was not the disaster area, so it can't be our fault?"

He Yangxuan patted Lin Qian on the shoulder: "I still don't understand what our master means? Someone really died because of this plague, so no one thinks about it so much. Just grab someone who is close and throw the blame. Who told our family If you have money, you might be able to extort some compensation.”

"Exaggerated?!" Lin Qian twitched his lips, not quite believing it.

He Yangxuan and grandpa looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

Lin Qian's kindness was his strength and also his weakness.

The family only sterilized the newly bought livestock, which reduced travel, and the project on the mountain was also accelerated and completed in a short period of time.In fact, it is just three small underground warehouses, which are used as a cover for future storage in the space.In this way, if the things in the house are exposed in the future, they can still use the excuse that He Yangxuan's house gave them away in advance.

Anyway, they didn't know what He Yangxuan's background was.

Half a month later, under all kinds of strict precautions, the plague still spread to the north.Originally, people in the village didn't care too much, until the first person was sent to the hospital in a coma and was diagnosed with the plague, and everyone in the village was in danger.

The government distributed a batch of disinfection and medicines to the clinic in the village, and the clinic used a loudspeaker to notify the whole village to go to his house to get a free disinfection supplies.

At this time, some villagers still felt that it was alarmist talk, and only half of the disinfection and sanitation allocated by the government according to the head were sent out.

Lin Qian went to get two copies, but He Yangxuan was an outsider, so he didn't have any.This time, the house was so upright that it was disinfected every day. As the smell of disinfectant water spread in the village, Lin Qian finally felt the approach of the end.

The corn is ripe and still has to be harvested.Some machines can produce corn kernels directly, but the villagers still prefer machines that produce corn cobs with leaves.Because the corn cobs are piled up in their own granary, waiting for two or three months before threshing will have a higher starch content than when they were just harvested. In addition, they have been dried in the sun, and the selling price is better.

Of course, there are also options for threshing and selling on the same day.Although the wet corn kernels cannot be sold at a price, the price is stable and there is no need to bear the risk of subsequent price adjustments.

Lin Qian's family chose the former, but the granary on the side of the new house has long since been stripped, so they can only wait for the corn in the yard to be harvested and tidied up, then someone who sells steel granaries in the streets bought one and put it out for ventilation place, throw the corn cobs with the leaves in.

These days, the plague is accompanied by busy farming, which is the hardest time.The two young men felt sorry for their grandpa, and they only let him cook and didn't let him do heavy work.

However, both of them were originally sitting in the office, and suddenly they started such high-intensity work, which was really too much for them.Fortunately, it will be over in two or three days.At this time, the two of them had blisters on their hands and feet, and their faces were tanned a lot.

"When will this corn be threshed?"

"Wait until winter, and see when the weather will be better." Lin Qian remembered that the days that followed would be more normal after the new year.

After a few days of sunny days, continuous autumn rains began.When it rains, it's cold and hot, and you can't find the feeling of "an autumn rain and a cold" at all. It's because of the alternation of cold and hot, coupled with the fatigue of busy farming, that many people catch a cold.

The symptoms of a cold are similar to that of the plague. Many people take cold medicine to overcome the slightest symptoms.Some took cold medicine and felt relieved, and they felt that they had escaped a catastrophe.

Who knew that cold medicine only relieved or paralyzed the symptoms. Taking it in the early stage of the plague did have the illusion of being effective, but as time went on, no one who contracted the plague could escape it.

When the number of people plagued by the plague in the village exceeded ten figures and some died, no one thought it was alarmist anymore.

The smell of disinfectant in the air became more and more pungent, but it was full of powerlessness.

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, venting dissatisfaction and angrily denouncing incompetence.The plague has lasted for such a long time, not only has it not been cured effectively, but even its spread cannot be solved.

No matter how hard you scold, you all know that this is a problem that the world has not been able to overcome, and no one can be blamed.However, in the face of such fear, if you always want to vent, someone will always take the blame.

Just as he sent the family away, He Yangxuan locked the door with a two-jin lock.

Lin Qian came down from upstairs, sat on the sofa and sighed: "This is the fourth person to borrow money today."

"If you want to save face and suffer, I have to come and block it." He Yangxuan brushed off the raindrops on his body, "I don't even think about how much a favor is worth at this time, maybe I will borrow a revenge."

"The key is the neighbors and villagers. People always feel embarrassed to shake their heads when they speak there." Lin Qian was born and raised in the village after all.

He Yangxuan flew over and rolled his eyes: "I really don't know where did your decisiveness go when you went to work?"

In the beginning, someone who was infected with the plague went to cure the disease, and those who didn't have enough money borrowed money everywhere.Some may not really have no money, and some even just don’t want to save the interest for death, so they get it from relatives and friends first.At first, Lin Qian couldn't hold back his face, so he borrowed one or two hundred or eight hundred if it was less.

But later, when He Yangxuan heard about the "hidden rule" that "the borrower does not have to pay back the money for medical treatment if he dies", he said nothing to let Lin Qian use the money in his pocket to play for nothing.

Lin Qian was a villager who had to abide by the rules of the village, but He Yangxuan didn't.

In fact, Lin Qian already hated this situation.But he came from the end of the world. When this kind of world has not completely collapsed, the suffering of other people's family is the most poignant time.Lin Qian couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and he was someone he knew, so he had the right to follow suit.

"Actually, this kind of thing started out with good intentions. I lent money to others, and when the family members died, I felt sorry for them, and asking them to pay back the money would make things worse. The creditors were originally kind-hearted for a while, but now it has become the last word. People only want dead people Whether or not to pay back the money depends on whether people want to pay it back, and it's unreasonable to dare to ask for it." Lin Qian took a sip of tea.

"So there are merits in violent debt collection, especially when you meet old Lai who should be taken for granted. Moral kidnapping." Sitting next to Lin Qian, He Yangxuan naturally picked up the cup Lin Qian had just used and drank it Mouth tea.

"It's afternoon." Lin Qian said.

He Yangxuan: "What's wrong?"

Lin Qian: "Aren't you sensitive to coffee?"

He Yangxuan was taken aback, and put the cup back silently.

He Yangxuan is a person who doesn't touch coffee and yin after noon, no matter what cola, tea, coffee, or even cold medicine containing coffee and yin, he still can't sleep at night.

For tea, if it is the second or third brew, the content of coffee will be very low, and tea polyphenols will have a good calming effect.But that being said, He Yangxuan was able to sleep soundly for only three days in a week of trying, and then simply cut off any source of coffee and alcohol after noon.

Even when He Yangxuan is working overtime, he seldom touches something refreshing, unless he really intends to stay overnight.

"The egg incubator I bought should be here soon, and I'm afraid the express delivery will be cut off if I buy something later." Lin Qian said.

"Aren't you afraid of going to the city to catch the plague now?"

"Wear a mask to go, and disinfect it frequently. It should be fine. When the courier is full, go there for the last time. After that, let's close the doors and windows and avoid contact with the outside world."

Many people died in a row in the village, and few people were willing to go out for funerals, for fear that many people would be infected.And the government has also issued temporary regulations, prohibiting big funerals during the plague.

So when someone dies, at most they send some money to show their affection.

People who are dead are worried, and people who are not dead are even more worried.Especially when someone died in a relative's family, they have to follow the etiquette, and the pressure is so great.
