末世 二三 事
Chapter 43
The days are short in winter, Jinglin and the others are now getting dark after five o'clock.Around the yard hung kerosene-soaked wooden sticks, and the flickering lights of the fire made the place extremely bright.
Yan Lu was exercising martial arts with Zhao Zhiwen, while Jing Lin let go of his consciousness and stood in a corner to move his body.
"How is it? Is there any movement?" Yan Fei walked over, followed by turning his body to warm up and prepare for the battle later.
Jing Lin shook his head: "Not yet."
Mimi was patrolling around the crowd with three kittens. Mr. Cao walked up to Jing Lin and the two, stared at Mimi enviously for a while, and said, "This big cat is really nice. "
Jing Lindao: "This cat is raised by a little girl in the village, and the master pet has a very good relationship."
"There is also a mutant three-colored cat in the county, but that one is much more vicious."
Every cat has a different temperament, some are relatives, and some are very wary of people.The mutated three-colored cat in the county town has divided the county town into its own territory, and humans are not allowed to enter. Once it enters its territory without its consent, it will be regarded as a violation. Human beings who played badly to death.After the cat played humans to death, they didn't eat them, but threw the corpses out, letting them be dragged away and eaten by other mutated plants or animals, which was also a disguised warning to the surrounding residents.
Yan Fei said: "Besides this cat, what other powerful mutant animals and plants are there?"
Cao Sanye: "The most powerful thing is the man-eating morning glory in the center of the city. It has been continuously expanding its territory. Now the county has been divided into two parts from the middle. The left side is basically inhabited by humans. The area, on the right is the range of activities of mutated animals and plants. As far as I know, besides the morning glory and the three-flowered cat, the powerful mutated animals and plants also have a blood python. But these two sites are also constantly being driven away by the morning glory compression."
Speaking of this, Mr. Cao sighed helplessly: "There are more than a dozen forces, large and small, in the county, but compared with the mutated plants, humans are too weak, and their hearts are not in harmony. Don't eradicate the piranhas." , before the mutated animals are driven out of the city, the people who are still struggling to live in the county will be the first to be driven out, and I am afraid that there will be no place to live in the end."
"Is that morning glory really powerful?" Jing Lin asked.
"You don't live nearby, so you don't know." Cao Sanye said, "Wherever it goes, all the mutated animals and plants, or human beings who go in to find supplies, all become its nourishment. There is no one near its territory. People dare to get closer. But fortunately, although its vines are powerful, the roots are very weak and cannot penetrate the soil, otherwise I might wake up in the middle of the night and find a morning glory vine suddenly drilled out of the sleeping place."
"I think people in the county are about to get rid of it, but everyone hasn't been cornered yet."
It is precisely because there is still room for the territory to be compressed by the morning glory, so we have to live with it for a day, and when we really can't make it through, then it is time to resist.
In the consciousness, the grass rustled in the distance, and a mass of black things moved towards this side quickly.Jing Lin shook the hatchet in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Be alert, the mouse is coming!"
The people who were already waiting for the battle immediately besieged a defensive circle back to back, the fire circle was ignited, and the people standing inside were also holding weapons in cold sweat to guard against it.
"squeak!"
A mouse the size of a domestic cat jumped out of the grass, and was bitten by the throat by Mimi who had been lurking next to him. He slammed it hard and was thrown far away. Before he could get up, he was hit by an axe. With a "poof", my brain split apart.
Yan Lu looked at the blood on the ax with disgust on her face.
Before everyone had time to praise her agile skills, one after another big mice jumped out of the grass, squeaking and rushing towards the crowd.
Jing Lin and the four of them didn't have much feeling when fighting with each other, but after meeting the mice, in their eyes, the movements of the mice were very slow. Even if several of them attacked at the same time, they still had time to react.Therefore, their skills are the most agile. All the mice that pounced on them were smashed into the middle of their bodies by swinging their weapons, and they looked like they were playing tennis with ease.
Especially Jing Lin, who was blessed with spiritual consciousness, moved the least, but killed the most rats.
Mr. Cao stepped on a mouse, and the long knife in his hand pierced the mouse's body fiercely. Seeing the mouse struggling painfully under the knife, a flash of joy flashed in his heart, and he wiped the blood on his face. Shi Shi gave Jinglin a thumbs up: "You guys are too good!"
He originally thought that Yan Fei was the leader among them, and he must be the most powerful one, but he didn't expect that Jing Lin, who looked quiet, was not inferior to Yan Fei at all, and the fighting power of the only girl was even higher than most of them. On the other hand, the young man who looked like a girl's boyfriend was not slow in his movements. Sometimes he could smash a mouse to death with his fist without swinging his weapon in time.
These few people are too tough to fight.
A mouse took advantage of Mr. Cao's distraction and rushed straight to his face, but was intercepted by Jing Lin, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and smashed it hard on the head with the hatchet. A kitten who came over killed it.
"Don't be distracted." Jing Lin said.
When Cao Sanye came back to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat.These rats were more powerful than the last time he met in the city. The mask on his face had been torn by the rats, and the iron sheet was already warped.If Jing Lin hadn't helped him beat the mouse away just now, and the mouse fell on his face, at least a piece of his flesh would have been bitten off.
"Ah!" one of Cao Sanye's subordinates screamed.His whole body was pressed to the ground, and there were at least seven or eight rats crawling on his body.
"Cao Ba!" The third master Cao roared and was about to rush over, but was stopped by the mice that rushed over one after another. Seeing Cao Ba howling in pain on the ground, the third master Cao's eyes were red.
The others were also busy dealing with the mouse's Wuxia avatar that was pounced on them, and their hearts ached when they heard Cao Ba's screams.
The place where Cao Ba fell was not far from the place where many villagers hid from the fire circle. Many people heard Cao Ba's painful howl and hesitated for a while, but finally overcame their cowardice and raised their weapons. Ah yelled to embolden himself and rushed out to lift the rat off Cao Ba's body.
This move was like a bony Nomi platoon being pushed down, and several people rushed out of the fire circle to help Cao Ba.They didn't know how to beat the mice, and they didn't even hit the mice several times in a row because they were too nervous. In the end, Jing Lin rushed over to help kill the mice in that area.
"Thank you!" The iron skin on Cao Ba's body was almost eaten by mice, and there were several bloody cuts on his face.He thought he was going to be bitten to death just now, but he was saved by these timid-looking villagers.
For the villagers hiding in the circle of fire, Cao Ba looked down on them at first. , but can understand their feelings.Before the troubled times, they were all honest farmers. The cruelest thing they did was probably killing chickens, ducks and pigs. These mice are so powerful. When they first confronted each other, even Cao Ba and others were not without fear. of.However, in order to get the mission rewards and to live, he could only bite the bullet.
Being thanked by Cao Ba, these villagers seemed very happy. They looked at Cao Ba who was still alive, and thought to themselves that they had contributed to this. It turns out that the feeling of being sincerely thanked for saving someone is such a pleasant feeling. Well, those rats don't seem to be that scary anymore, as long as you keep your hands steady and aim at your head, they won't be that difficult to deal with.
As a result, these people who got out of the fire circle did not flinch back. Even though their legs were trembling with fear, they stood firmly in place and wiped out the rats rushing towards them.Those who were still hiding in the circle of fire also slowly came out.
Jing Lin and the others saw the transformation of these people and were very happy in their hearts.The protection of the village cannot be done only by a few people, and these people must stand up on their own after all.
The skulls of these mice are very hard. Except for Jing Lin and the others, it is almost impossible for others to kill a mouse at once. There were nearly [-] mice, and all of them joined the battle, and it took more than two hours to kill them. Rats are almost wiped out.
"Keep one alive." Jing Lin stopped the person who was going to kill the last living mouse, "Let it go, let Mimi follow, and see if it will return to its lair."
The man was taken aback, and quickly put away the ax in his hand, yes, even if all the mice here today were killed, who knows if there are any mice that haven't come to their hiding place.
So, everyone took a rest at the spot and watched the half-beaten mouse tenaciously escape from the place. After it fled for a while, Mimi followed quietly, sniffing the smell of air stagnation.
Mr. Cao and the others prepared wound medicine, and everyone helped each other to apply the medicine, and their faces were much more relaxed.This time they won a big victory, only a few people were seriously injured, and none of them died, which was completely beyond their expectations.There were more rats this time than last time, but compared to the heavy losses last time, this time the battle was almost perfect for them.
And this time it will be so perfect, largely because of the presence of the four of them.
After gathering the rat corpses and burning them with gasoline, Mr. Cao took a lot of wound medicine to the villagers in Jinglin’s village, and thanked Jinglin and the others: “My brothers are all alive, thanks to you. You are better than me. It is much more powerful than I imagined, and among the people I have met so far, no one can compare to you."
Of the four, only Zhao Zhiwen was slightly injured, but it wasn't a bite. It was all caused by him hitting the mouse with his fist, and his hands were red and swollen.The villagers also gathered together. Because of their inexperience, most of them were bitten. They grinned and applied the medicine, but they said that the battle had been fought to their heart's content, and they were extremely happy.
But someone asked worriedly: "The mouse is so dirty, is it okay to be bitten?"
The disgusted expression on Zhao Zhiwen's face became more serious. God knows that he actually touched such a disgusting mouse with his fist. He felt that he would have to wash himself with soapy water at least ten or twenty times when he went back.
"Probably not." Third Master Cao said with some uncertainty, "Last time, many of my brothers, including me, were bitten badly, leaving scars in the end. There are no other problems."
But this time the mice were stronger than last time, and obviously mutated again, so Mr. Cao was not very sure about the answer.
So the relaxed atmosphere just now became a little dignified.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Mimi finally came back. Tang Tang, who could understand what it said, did not come, but Tang Hao could roughly understand what Mimi meant, so after it meowed a few times, Tang Tang Howe explained to everyone: "It found the mouse hole, there is no major problem."
There are no major problems, but it does not mean that there are no minor problems.Except for a few who were too seriously injured to stay, the others followed Mimi.
The route was very rugged and very far away. It had been dark for a long time, and everyone held torches through the large farmland and followed Mimi to the distant hills.It took Mimi half an hour to go back and forth, and it took more than an hour for everyone to walk to the mouse hole that Mimi found.
The rats were pretty good at picking places, and made holes at the top of the hill.The opening of the hole was very large, and beside it lay the corpses of several rats that had just died. It seemed that Mimi had bitten them to death.There are many mouse paw prints around the hole, and there are many bloodstains. The hole was dug obliquely downward. As soon as you approach the hole, you can smell a strong smell of blood.
Mimi was the first to go in, followed by Third Master Cao, then Ba Cao, and then Jing Lin and the others.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger. After walking to the end and seeing the situation at the bottom of the cave clearly by the lit candle, Cao Ba, who had been enduring the pain, couldn't help but vomit anymore.
I saw that the bottom of the cave was full of disfigured human corpses that had been bitten beyond recognition, and blood flowed all over the ground.The corpses were covered with palm-sized rats, many of which were hairless and were just born cubs.They moved slowly on the corpse, with their eyes closed, but following their instincts, they opened their mouths and gnawed non-stop.
Yan Fei was walking in front of Jing Lin, and he followed Cao Ba, so he saw the situation inside clearly, his face turned pale for an instant, then turned around to block Jing Lin's sight, and pushed Jing Lin back: "Don't look , get out quickly."
Knowing that the situation inside might not be good, Jing Lin didn't force it, turned around and left obediently, and drove out Yan Lu and Zhao Zhiwen behind him by the way.
Mr. Cao's condition is better, and he has been holding back from vomiting, but he dare not stare at it all the time.Sprinkle the gasoline brought together evenly on the corpses, then walk out, and finally throw a candle stick in to ignite the pile of corpses.
After quickly exiting the cave and getting away from there, Yan Fei took a few deep breaths before recovering.
Mr. Cao said: "The number of those rat cubs is definitely more than [-]. Fortunately, we came to take a look. Otherwise, there would be enough corpses to raise those rat cubs. I don't know how big a disaster it will be. .”
There was a smell of burnt meat coming from the entrance of the cave, and one of Cao Sanye's brothers said, "It's a pity, these rats all ate human flesh, otherwise if so many rats were taken back, the rat meat would be enough for the brothers to rub for a while." Paused."
The others looked at him at the same time and let out a disgusted "Hey", no one on their side has ever eaten rat meat.
After the fire at the bottom of the cave was extinguished and everyone checked to make sure that there were no rat cubs that escaped the net alive, they went back according to the route they had come from.
At this time, Cao Sanye told Jing Lin and the others his real plan: "I decided to bring my brothers to live in this village."
Jing Lin frowned: "There are still living people in the village."
"I know." Cao Sanye said, I will not occupy all the houses and food, and wait for the living to come back. I hope we can live in peace.Tomorrow I will ask my brothers to pack up all the food and supplies of the people in the village, and I will share half of them, and you and the people in your village will take them away. "
There was a commotion in the crowd, and when they heard that they could still get food and the like, everyone was glad that they stayed with them.
There are not many people in this village anymore, even if Mr. Cao and the others don't come in, the houses will only be empty.Third Master Cao is not a bad person, and most of his brothers seem to be good, too. People from other villages outside of him, Jing Lin and the others can't say anything.
Ma Mingliang pointed out his mother-in-law's house and let them be empty, and then pointed out several houses one after another, saying that some people had escaped from these houses, and when Cao Sanye and others moved in, they would skip these houses.
It was very late, and many people were already very tired.Jing Lin and the others lived in Li Guihua's house with Ma Mingliang, and the rest of them also chose to live in the adjacent house, barely making enough for one night.
Although there is no injury on the body, but some contact with mice, just sleeping like this is definitely unbearable for Jing Lin and the others. After boiling several large pots of water, everyone took a bath before entering the selected room .
Li Guihua's family also lived in other villagers, so it was impossible for everyone except Yan Lu to live in one room.In the end, Zhao Zhiwen and Ma Mingliang shared a room, Jing Lin and Yan Fei shared a room, and the others were freely combined with him. Mimi brought three kittens into Yan Lu's room.
Yan Fei was at the back. When he entered the room, Jing Lin was wearing a thin sweater and sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating.
The surroundings are very quiet, and the breath on Jing Lin's body is very peaceful, because when he is practicing the same mind method, when Yan Fei is close to Jing Lin, he can feel the flow of spiritual energy around him.
He stood in front of Jing Lin, looking down at him.
Look at his slender fingers on his knees, look at his slightly heaving chest due to his slow breathing, look at his long eyelashes silhouetted by drooping eyes, pointed nose wings, and closed thin lips.
It was the person in front of him who he liked, and the other party didn't know anything about this liking.
Yan Fei watched for a while, and found that Jing Lin's eyes were shaking slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly leaned over to get closer to Jing Lin's face...
Jing Lin immediately opened his eyes.
Yan Fei stopped in the middle of his movements, and he could kiss Jing Lin's lips as long as he moved a little further.The two looked at each other for a while, and seeing Jing Lin's scrutinizing eyes, Yan Fei suddenly smiled: "What are you thinking?"
"What... what did you want to do just now?" Jing Lin didn't answer, but asked him instead.Yan Fei's warm breath sprayed on his face when he spoke, which made him very uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while, then leaned back.
Now when he is cultivating, he will keep his spiritual consciousness open, and use his mind and mind to exercise his spiritual consciousness intentionally.So he knew Yan Fei as soon as he entered the room, and he also knew that the other party stared at him for a long time, the scorching heat in his eyes seemed to linger on him for a long time.
What if you didn't open your eyes just now?Will Yan Fei continue to move forward?
Did he just want to kiss himself?But he is a man, and Jing Lin belatedly remembered that Yan Fei liked men, and he finally discovered the difference hidden in Yan Fei's eyes.
Yan Fei straightened up, climbed onto the bed from Jing Lin's side, got into the bed, and lay on the pillow before looking at Jing Lin: "What do you think I wanted to do just now?"
Jing Lin was speechless for a moment.He can't always express his conjecture.
The room was silent for a while.
In the end, Yan Fei said, "Go to sleep, it's already very late." After saying that, his body sank, he closed his eyes, and only his head was exposed under the quilt.
Jing Lin sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then blew out the candle, climbed onto the bed slowly, lifted the quilt and lay down on the edge of the bed, there was still a little distance between Yan Fei.Because there was only one quilt, the wind kept leaking between the two people who were a little far apart.
In the dark, Yan Fei said, "It's cold, can you come in for a little sleep?"
So Jing Lin silently moved in a little bit, and then Yan Fei leaned closer and pressed against his back, "I like men. Can you see it?" Although Jing Lin had his eyes closed just now, he saw that his eyelids were twitching. Trembling, you know that Jing Lin has felt his approach.The act of approaching Jing Lin just now and pretending to kiss him secretly was also done on purpose by him, of course, he really wanted to do it.
Yan Fei likes men, which Jinglin had learned from Zhou Feifei before.What surprised him was Yan Fei's ambiguous behavior, and he even relaxed his breathing for a moment.He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You...to me?"
"I have a good impression of you. Or rather, I like you very much."
"..." This is not the first time in his life that he has been confessed by someone, but it is definitely the first time that he has been confessed by a man.
Seeing that Jinglin didn't respond, Yan Fei felt a little uneasy. He stabilized his emotions and asked, "Alin, do you hate me?"
Hearing Yan Fei's uneasiness, Jing Lin said seriously: "No, I don't hate you."
It can only be said that he was shocked. In the past, he also saw some pictures of same-sex embracing on Weibo. After the initial curiosity, he didn't feel much when he saw it again.I read a lot on the Internet, but this is the first time I met him in real life, and this person is Yan Fei, a friend who has become closer and closer to him.
Just now, this man wanted to secretly kiss himself.
Yan Fei felt the stiffness of Jing Lin's body and sighed silently.He whispered: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you before you agree."
The window paper was unilaterally pierced by Yan Fei, revealing Jing Lin, who had only realized what happened inside, with a panicked face.But Yan Fei was much more relaxed, at least Jing Lin didn't feel disgusted after knowing that he had thoughts about him.Maybe this happened too suddenly, so Jing Lin was still in shock and didn't recover.
As long as Jing Lin doesn't hate himself, then it's easy to talk about anything, don't worry, he has plenty of time.
After all, it was someone else's bed, and because he just knew Yan Fei's thoughts about him, Jing Lin didn't gradually fall asleep until the middle of the night.In the daily fight with Yan Fei, their bodies never stopped touching.His body has adapted to Yan Fei's approaching, he can still keep a distance when he is awake, but once he falls asleep, he will unconsciously move closer to Yan Fei.
She usually sleeps with Lele, but Jing Lin habitually hugs Lele.Sensing a familiar aura in a daze, he thought it was Lele, and stretched out his hand to hug Yan Fei's waist.But because he was shorter than Yan Fei, the sleeping posture of the two people who were close to him looked like Yan Fei was holding Jing Lin in his arms.
"You sent this up yourself." Yan Fei circled Jing Lin's back and whispered, rubbing his cheek against his hair for a while, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep contentedly.
Waking up in the morning, Yan Fei was still sleeping with his eyes closed.Jing Lin withdrew his hand on the opponent in embarrassment, then shrank back, away from Yan Fei's embrace.
"I think you can cuddle for a while longer." Yan Fei said suddenly, his opened eyes did not show the slightest bit of sleepiness, which showed that he woke up earlier than Jing Lin.
Seeing the playful smile in the other party's eyes, Jing Lin quickly avoided the other party's gaze, got up from the bed and started to wear his own clothes, "Get up, there are still many things to do today."
Looking at the back of Jing Lin running away with a little bit of despair, Yan Fei rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Is he shy?"
Hmm, nice find.
After leaving Li Guihua's house, many people had already gotten up, and they were gathering in front of their door, discussing around a pile of grass on the ground.
"What is this?" Jing Lin asked.
"Mimi brought it back." One of Cao Sanye's subordinates said.
"Really?" Jing Linchong beckoned to Mimi, who was lying in the corner playing with his cub, "Mimi, what did you bring back for us to eat?" Because the people in the village used to rely on Mimi to bring them home because of their gastrointestinal problems. That's why Jing Lin asked this question.
"Miwu." Mimi replied lazily.
Tang Hao came out and said: "Crush this grass and attach it to the mouse bite, it will heal faster."
At first, everyone was worried about whether the mouse would be infected with some virus if it was bitten by such a dirty mouse. Unexpectedly, Mimi understood everyone's worries so well, and went out early in the morning to find grass that could be prevented.
So the big guys got busy all at once, and everyone shared some grass, crushed it and applied it on their hands.
"Why didn't I think of keeping a pet before!" Someone said regretfully.
Gao Changhui said: "It's a pity that my dog was strangled to death. If it is still alive, I don't know if it will be like Mimi."
In fact, Gao Changhui's family is not the only one that keeps dogs in the village, but Mimi and Yaya are the only domesticated animals that have mutated.
Everyone put medicinal herbs on the wound, and finally felt relieved.I made do with the dry food I brought with me for breakfast, and started collecting supplies one by one.
The number of people in the second team was about the same as that of Jinglin's village. There were more than 3000 households. Excluding the few families who were still alive, each household collected at least [-] catties of grain, and the total amount was a little over [-] catties.Third Master Cao divided it into two parts and asked Jing Lin and the others to share it with the people in his village.
There are less than 45 people in Jinglin, and each of them can get more than 1000 catties, which is equivalent to the amount of the previous autumn harvest.
Li Feiyu couldn't believe it: "Can we really bring so much food back?"
"Of course." Yan Fei said, "This is the reward you deserve for bravely killing the mice."
Jing Lin thought for a while, and went over to discuss with Mr. Cao: "I want to put a person in this village, and give you half of the food I get as a fee for accepting him, and half for his living expenses."
Third Master Cao: "Who is it?"
"The old man who led us that day."
Third Master Cao looked Jing Lin up and down, and said, "The food is so scarce now, are you willing? It looks like you don't even know him."
"I'm just thinking of my old friend." Jing Lin didn't want to explain further, but only asked Third Master Cao if he agreed.
Living in the countryside, there must be many places to deal with Jing Lin and the others in the future.For example, you need to ask a lot for farming.So Third Master Cao didn't object, and took half of the food left by Jing Lin, and asked him to just bring people over.
Jing Lin breathed a sigh of relief.His personal ability is too weak for this troubled world, and he can't save anyone.But in the past two days, every time he thought of the thin figure of the old man in the city, Jing Lin felt sad for a while.Anyway, the food he got today is considered free. He has no shortage of food, so he came up with such a way to make himself feel at ease.
The car was parked at the foot of the village last night, and the food was distributed, and the big guys happily moved the food to the car.There is too much food, and it can't be done in one trip, at least four or five times, but with the food in hand, I don't care if I am tired.
Jing Lin and the others gathered a wave of food and left the second team. Mr. Cao led his brothers to clean up the house. After the house was cleaned up, they would go back to collect the belongings in the county.
The second team was half an hour away from Jinglin's village, and as soon as they entered the village, the big guys yelled away.They stayed outside for one night, and the people who stayed in the village also worried for the night. When they heard the movement at the entrance of the village, they all ran out.After seeing that everyone's carts were carrying a lot of food, everyone was very pleasantly surprised.
Yan Fei's family was the first at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Feifei and Yan Ruifeng were also the first to run out.Behind them were Zhao Chenghuai and his wife, Lele and Yaya.They came over this morning and have been waiting for them here.
"Why are there so many millets?" After talking to the Yan family, Zhao Chenghuai and Zhou Yu helped Zhao Zhiwen and Jing Lin push the car home, curious about the source of the grain, and asked them if they had killed the rats.
"It's all gone." Jing Lin said the result, and then explained the source of the food.
Zhou Yu asked worriedly, "Would others have any objections?"
"Can you have any comments?" Zhao Zhiwen said, "The survivors of the second team should thank us for helping them kill the rats, otherwise they would not be able to return home, and they would not dare to go back to get food if they had food. As for the other villages Who told them not to participate in the battle? This is what we fought with our lives, so who dares to say anything."
After two days, Li Guihua's spirit has settled down.Ma Mingliang told her that the rats had been wiped out and the village was safe.Li Guihua immediately began to cry again, but this time she still carried the joy of revenge.
Liu Suqin said: "Mom, why don't you move here and live with us." Her mother used to live alone, but at that time it was still a peaceful world, but now it is no longer possible. She is very afraid that something will happen to her mother. The next time Li Guihua escaped from the dead, she still scared Liu Suqin terribly.She had gotten angry with her parents-in-law yesterday, and they were reasonable and agreed.
But Li Guihua declined, she also wanted to live with her daughter, but this is her daughter-in-law's house after all, it's okay to live together for a short period of time, once the days grow longer, friction is inevitable, it will hurt the relationship between the two families, and the daughter is caught in the middle It is also difficult to do.She said: "Didn't Mingliang say that the third master will bring people to live in our village, and there are quite a few people, and they don't know how to bully people. Mom has food and land, so don't worry."
It's not that Liu Suqin doesn't understand Li Guihua's concerns. She persuaded her again and again, but Li Guihua didn't agree, so she had no choice but to give up.
When the villagers went to transport the second wave of grain, Li Guihua followed Ma Mingliang back to the village.
People in the village have always lived in their houses, but fleeing for their lives caused a lot of panic when they were attacked by rats, and they can live in after a little homework.Cao Sanye took Li Guihua to an old willow tree in the village, pointed to a small soil bag there, and said, "We burned all the remains of the people in the village, and the ashes are buried here."
"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Li." Li Guihua wiped her tears and thanked her. Thinking of all the acquaintances in the village squeezed into such a small bag, she felt even more sad.But she also knew that what was probably burned was only the bones, and it was impossible to tell who was who.This is also good, squeezed together, at least have a companion.
Third Master Cao was going to take some of his brothers back to the county seat, Jing Lin told him the address of the old man and asked him to bring them down.
As a result, Mr. Cao returned in vain on the first trip.
"I don't agree to go with us, and I want to wait for my grandson at home." Cao Sanye said helplessly, "I think you should go."
Hearing this, Jing Lin told Zhao Zhiwen that he would follow Third Master Cao and the others into the city.
"I'll go with you." Yan Fei put down a bag of millet that he carried to the car, walked over and looked at Jing Lin and said.
"No need." Jing Lin was always a little embarrassed towards Yan Fei now, "I'm with the third master and the others, the road is very safe."
Yan Fei could see that Jing Lin was avoiding him.There are so many people now that it is hard to talk, he didn't want to create too much pressure on Jing Lin, so he could only take a deep look at Jing Lin, "Then be careful on the road." Then he turned around and stopped looking at Jing Lin, and went to help Zhao Zhiwen move things .
Jing Lin stared at Yan Fei's busy back for a while, then turned around and said to Mr. Cao, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the county seat, Mr. Cao sent Jinglin to the downstairs of the old man's community and then returned to the driving school on Hechuan Road. They agreed to meet at the fork in one hour.
The community where the old man lives is a bit old, and the stairs and lanes can only accommodate two people at the same time.They sent the old man back last time, so they still remember the floor where the old man lives.
Jing Lin knocked on the door, and it took a while to hear a vigilant voice from inside: "Who is it?"
Jing Lin: "Master, it's me."
The old man recognized Jing Lin's voice, and quickly opened the door, "Young man, it's you!"
The old man opened the door and let Jing Lin into the house, "Yesterday the third master said he would take me to the countryside, did you let them come?"
"It's me." The last time I just sent the old man to the door and left, I don't know what the room is like.He took a brief look at the house. The balcony was covered with soil and covered with a film, but nothing grew. There were some weeds on the table against the wall, and there was a water tank next to it. Clean, there is no water in the city, and I don't know where the water comes from.In an open room, there is a wood stove and a coal stove at the entrance, and there are many dried grass roots and branches beside it, and there are also a few briquettes.
The smell in the house is not good.
Jing Lin said: "Why don't you go with them? When you go to the countryside, they will take care of you. It's much safer and more convenient than living here alone."
"I want to wait for my grandson." The old man said stubbornly, "If he comes back one day and can't find me, he will be worried."
Jing Lin understood the old man's worry, and persuaded him patiently: "You can leave a note for him, and when he comes back, he will naturally come to you when he sees the note."
The old man did not speak, but still disagreed.
Jing Lin continued: "You don't know when your grandson will come back. Your physical fitness is here, and you continue to live here. Do you think you eat weeds every day, can you wait until he comes back?"
The old man's hands behind his back trembled, he looked up at Jing Lin, his eyes were a little red.Because of long-term malnutrition, his current health is not as good as the next day. Recently, he is worried whether he can wait for his grandson to come back, and whether he can see his grandson again.
Jing Lin said: "You go back to the countryside with me, and I will store up a few hundred catties of grain for you, which will make you full every day, and then I will give you an acre of land to let you exercise and take care of your body." , wouldn’t it be nice to let your grandson see a healthy you when he comes back?”
The old man looked at Jing Lin incomprehensibly: "We only met for the third time including this time, why did you plan so well for me?"
Jing Lin smiled lightly and said: "Because I was also brought up by my grandfather, just like he was always worried about my food and clothing when I was outside, I was also worried about him. When I see you, I think of my grandfather, I think your grandson outside should feel the same as me."
The old man relaxed a bit, but still hesitated: "But, I can't take your food." This is no different from eating plain rice, the old man can't do this kind of thing.
"I can make an IOU for you. When your grandson comes back, give him the IOU and let him pay it back." In fact, Jing Lin really doesn't care about the 1000-jin
Yan Lu was exercising martial arts with Zhao Zhiwen, while Jing Lin let go of his consciousness and stood in a corner to move his body.
"How is it? Is there any movement?" Yan Fei walked over, followed by turning his body to warm up and prepare for the battle later.
Jing Lin shook his head: "Not yet."
Mimi was patrolling around the crowd with three kittens. Mr. Cao walked up to Jing Lin and the two, stared at Mimi enviously for a while, and said, "This big cat is really nice. "
Jing Lindao: "This cat is raised by a little girl in the village, and the master pet has a very good relationship."
"There is also a mutant three-colored cat in the county, but that one is much more vicious."
Every cat has a different temperament, some are relatives, and some are very wary of people.The mutated three-colored cat in the county town has divided the county town into its own territory, and humans are not allowed to enter. Once it enters its territory without its consent, it will be regarded as a violation. Human beings who played badly to death.After the cat played humans to death, they didn't eat them, but threw the corpses out, letting them be dragged away and eaten by other mutated plants or animals, which was also a disguised warning to the surrounding residents.
Yan Fei said: "Besides this cat, what other powerful mutant animals and plants are there?"
Cao Sanye: "The most powerful thing is the man-eating morning glory in the center of the city. It has been continuously expanding its territory. Now the county has been divided into two parts from the middle. The left side is basically inhabited by humans. The area, on the right is the range of activities of mutated animals and plants. As far as I know, besides the morning glory and the three-flowered cat, the powerful mutated animals and plants also have a blood python. But these two sites are also constantly being driven away by the morning glory compression."
Speaking of this, Mr. Cao sighed helplessly: "There are more than a dozen forces, large and small, in the county, but compared with the mutated plants, humans are too weak, and their hearts are not in harmony. Don't eradicate the piranhas." , before the mutated animals are driven out of the city, the people who are still struggling to live in the county will be the first to be driven out, and I am afraid that there will be no place to live in the end."
"Is that morning glory really powerful?" Jing Lin asked.
"You don't live nearby, so you don't know." Cao Sanye said, "Wherever it goes, all the mutated animals and plants, or human beings who go in to find supplies, all become its nourishment. There is no one near its territory. People dare to get closer. But fortunately, although its vines are powerful, the roots are very weak and cannot penetrate the soil, otherwise I might wake up in the middle of the night and find a morning glory vine suddenly drilled out of the sleeping place."
"I think people in the county are about to get rid of it, but everyone hasn't been cornered yet."
It is precisely because there is still room for the territory to be compressed by the morning glory, so we have to live with it for a day, and when we really can't make it through, then it is time to resist.
In the consciousness, the grass rustled in the distance, and a mass of black things moved towards this side quickly.Jing Lin shook the hatchet in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Be alert, the mouse is coming!"
The people who were already waiting for the battle immediately besieged a defensive circle back to back, the fire circle was ignited, and the people standing inside were also holding weapons in cold sweat to guard against it.
"squeak!"
A mouse the size of a domestic cat jumped out of the grass, and was bitten by the throat by Mimi who had been lurking next to him. He slammed it hard and was thrown far away. Before he could get up, he was hit by an axe. With a "poof", my brain split apart.
Yan Lu looked at the blood on the ax with disgust on her face.
Before everyone had time to praise her agile skills, one after another big mice jumped out of the grass, squeaking and rushing towards the crowd.
Jing Lin and the four of them didn't have much feeling when fighting with each other, but after meeting the mice, in their eyes, the movements of the mice were very slow. Even if several of them attacked at the same time, they still had time to react.Therefore, their skills are the most agile. All the mice that pounced on them were smashed into the middle of their bodies by swinging their weapons, and they looked like they were playing tennis with ease.
Especially Jing Lin, who was blessed with spiritual consciousness, moved the least, but killed the most rats.
Mr. Cao stepped on a mouse, and the long knife in his hand pierced the mouse's body fiercely. Seeing the mouse struggling painfully under the knife, a flash of joy flashed in his heart, and he wiped the blood on his face. Shi Shi gave Jinglin a thumbs up: "You guys are too good!"
He originally thought that Yan Fei was the leader among them, and he must be the most powerful one, but he didn't expect that Jing Lin, who looked quiet, was not inferior to Yan Fei at all, and the fighting power of the only girl was even higher than most of them. On the other hand, the young man who looked like a girl's boyfriend was not slow in his movements. Sometimes he could smash a mouse to death with his fist without swinging his weapon in time.
These few people are too tough to fight.
A mouse took advantage of Mr. Cao's distraction and rushed straight to his face, but was intercepted by Jing Lin, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and smashed it hard on the head with the hatchet. A kitten who came over killed it.
"Don't be distracted." Jing Lin said.
When Cao Sanye came back to his senses, he broke out in a cold sweat.These rats were more powerful than the last time he met in the city. The mask on his face had been torn by the rats, and the iron sheet was already warped.If Jing Lin hadn't helped him beat the mouse away just now, and the mouse fell on his face, at least a piece of his flesh would have been bitten off.
"Ah!" one of Cao Sanye's subordinates screamed.His whole body was pressed to the ground, and there were at least seven or eight rats crawling on his body.
"Cao Ba!" The third master Cao roared and was about to rush over, but was stopped by the mice that rushed over one after another. Seeing Cao Ba howling in pain on the ground, the third master Cao's eyes were red.
The others were also busy dealing with the mouse's Wuxia avatar that was pounced on them, and their hearts ached when they heard Cao Ba's screams.
The place where Cao Ba fell was not far from the place where many villagers hid from the fire circle. Many people heard Cao Ba's painful howl and hesitated for a while, but finally overcame their cowardice and raised their weapons. Ah yelled to embolden himself and rushed out to lift the rat off Cao Ba's body.
This move was like a bony Nomi platoon being pushed down, and several people rushed out of the fire circle to help Cao Ba.They didn't know how to beat the mice, and they didn't even hit the mice several times in a row because they were too nervous. In the end, Jing Lin rushed over to help kill the mice in that area.
"Thank you!" The iron skin on Cao Ba's body was almost eaten by mice, and there were several bloody cuts on his face.He thought he was going to be bitten to death just now, but he was saved by these timid-looking villagers.
For the villagers hiding in the circle of fire, Cao Ba looked down on them at first. , but can understand their feelings.Before the troubled times, they were all honest farmers. The cruelest thing they did was probably killing chickens, ducks and pigs. These mice are so powerful. When they first confronted each other, even Cao Ba and others were not without fear. of.However, in order to get the mission rewards and to live, he could only bite the bullet.
Being thanked by Cao Ba, these villagers seemed very happy. They looked at Cao Ba who was still alive, and thought to themselves that they had contributed to this. It turns out that the feeling of being sincerely thanked for saving someone is such a pleasant feeling. Well, those rats don't seem to be that scary anymore, as long as you keep your hands steady and aim at your head, they won't be that difficult to deal with.
As a result, these people who got out of the fire circle did not flinch back. Even though their legs were trembling with fear, they stood firmly in place and wiped out the rats rushing towards them.Those who were still hiding in the circle of fire also slowly came out.
Jing Lin and the others saw the transformation of these people and were very happy in their hearts.The protection of the village cannot be done only by a few people, and these people must stand up on their own after all.
The skulls of these mice are very hard. Except for Jing Lin and the others, it is almost impossible for others to kill a mouse at once. There were nearly [-] mice, and all of them joined the battle, and it took more than two hours to kill them. Rats are almost wiped out.
"Keep one alive." Jing Lin stopped the person who was going to kill the last living mouse, "Let it go, let Mimi follow, and see if it will return to its lair."
The man was taken aback, and quickly put away the ax in his hand, yes, even if all the mice here today were killed, who knows if there are any mice that haven't come to their hiding place.
So, everyone took a rest at the spot and watched the half-beaten mouse tenaciously escape from the place. After it fled for a while, Mimi followed quietly, sniffing the smell of air stagnation.
Mr. Cao and the others prepared wound medicine, and everyone helped each other to apply the medicine, and their faces were much more relaxed.This time they won a big victory, only a few people were seriously injured, and none of them died, which was completely beyond their expectations.There were more rats this time than last time, but compared to the heavy losses last time, this time the battle was almost perfect for them.
And this time it will be so perfect, largely because of the presence of the four of them.
After gathering the rat corpses and burning them with gasoline, Mr. Cao took a lot of wound medicine to the villagers in Jinglin’s village, and thanked Jinglin and the others: “My brothers are all alive, thanks to you. You are better than me. It is much more powerful than I imagined, and among the people I have met so far, no one can compare to you."
Of the four, only Zhao Zhiwen was slightly injured, but it wasn't a bite. It was all caused by him hitting the mouse with his fist, and his hands were red and swollen.The villagers also gathered together. Because of their inexperience, most of them were bitten. They grinned and applied the medicine, but they said that the battle had been fought to their heart's content, and they were extremely happy.
But someone asked worriedly: "The mouse is so dirty, is it okay to be bitten?"
The disgusted expression on Zhao Zhiwen's face became more serious. God knows that he actually touched such a disgusting mouse with his fist. He felt that he would have to wash himself with soapy water at least ten or twenty times when he went back.
"Probably not." Third Master Cao said with some uncertainty, "Last time, many of my brothers, including me, were bitten badly, leaving scars in the end. There are no other problems."
But this time the mice were stronger than last time, and obviously mutated again, so Mr. Cao was not very sure about the answer.
So the relaxed atmosphere just now became a little dignified.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Mimi finally came back. Tang Tang, who could understand what it said, did not come, but Tang Hao could roughly understand what Mimi meant, so after it meowed a few times, Tang Tang Howe explained to everyone: "It found the mouse hole, there is no major problem."
There are no major problems, but it does not mean that there are no minor problems.Except for a few who were too seriously injured to stay, the others followed Mimi.
The route was very rugged and very far away. It had been dark for a long time, and everyone held torches through the large farmland and followed Mimi to the distant hills.It took Mimi half an hour to go back and forth, and it took more than an hour for everyone to walk to the mouse hole that Mimi found.
The rats were pretty good at picking places, and made holes at the top of the hill.The opening of the hole was very large, and beside it lay the corpses of several rats that had just died. It seemed that Mimi had bitten them to death.There are many mouse paw prints around the hole, and there are many bloodstains. The hole was dug obliquely downward. As soon as you approach the hole, you can smell a strong smell of blood.
Mimi was the first to go in, followed by Third Master Cao, then Ba Cao, and then Jing Lin and the others.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger. After walking to the end and seeing the situation at the bottom of the cave clearly by the lit candle, Cao Ba, who had been enduring the pain, couldn't help but vomit anymore.
I saw that the bottom of the cave was full of disfigured human corpses that had been bitten beyond recognition, and blood flowed all over the ground.The corpses were covered with palm-sized rats, many of which were hairless and were just born cubs.They moved slowly on the corpse, with their eyes closed, but following their instincts, they opened their mouths and gnawed non-stop.
Yan Fei was walking in front of Jing Lin, and he followed Cao Ba, so he saw the situation inside clearly, his face turned pale for an instant, then turned around to block Jing Lin's sight, and pushed Jing Lin back: "Don't look , get out quickly."
Knowing that the situation inside might not be good, Jing Lin didn't force it, turned around and left obediently, and drove out Yan Lu and Zhao Zhiwen behind him by the way.
Mr. Cao's condition is better, and he has been holding back from vomiting, but he dare not stare at it all the time.Sprinkle the gasoline brought together evenly on the corpses, then walk out, and finally throw a candle stick in to ignite the pile of corpses.
After quickly exiting the cave and getting away from there, Yan Fei took a few deep breaths before recovering.
Mr. Cao said: "The number of those rat cubs is definitely more than [-]. Fortunately, we came to take a look. Otherwise, there would be enough corpses to raise those rat cubs. I don't know how big a disaster it will be. .”
There was a smell of burnt meat coming from the entrance of the cave, and one of Cao Sanye's brothers said, "It's a pity, these rats all ate human flesh, otherwise if so many rats were taken back, the rat meat would be enough for the brothers to rub for a while." Paused."
The others looked at him at the same time and let out a disgusted "Hey", no one on their side has ever eaten rat meat.
After the fire at the bottom of the cave was extinguished and everyone checked to make sure that there were no rat cubs that escaped the net alive, they went back according to the route they had come from.
At this time, Cao Sanye told Jing Lin and the others his real plan: "I decided to bring my brothers to live in this village."
Jing Lin frowned: "There are still living people in the village."
"I know." Cao Sanye said, I will not occupy all the houses and food, and wait for the living to come back. I hope we can live in peace.Tomorrow I will ask my brothers to pack up all the food and supplies of the people in the village, and I will share half of them, and you and the people in your village will take them away. "
There was a commotion in the crowd, and when they heard that they could still get food and the like, everyone was glad that they stayed with them.
There are not many people in this village anymore, even if Mr. Cao and the others don't come in, the houses will only be empty.Third Master Cao is not a bad person, and most of his brothers seem to be good, too. People from other villages outside of him, Jing Lin and the others can't say anything.
Ma Mingliang pointed out his mother-in-law's house and let them be empty, and then pointed out several houses one after another, saying that some people had escaped from these houses, and when Cao Sanye and others moved in, they would skip these houses.
It was very late, and many people were already very tired.Jing Lin and the others lived in Li Guihua's house with Ma Mingliang, and the rest of them also chose to live in the adjacent house, barely making enough for one night.
Although there is no injury on the body, but some contact with mice, just sleeping like this is definitely unbearable for Jing Lin and the others. After boiling several large pots of water, everyone took a bath before entering the selected room .
Li Guihua's family also lived in other villagers, so it was impossible for everyone except Yan Lu to live in one room.In the end, Zhao Zhiwen and Ma Mingliang shared a room, Jing Lin and Yan Fei shared a room, and the others were freely combined with him. Mimi brought three kittens into Yan Lu's room.
Yan Fei was at the back. When he entered the room, Jing Lin was wearing a thin sweater and sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating.
The surroundings are very quiet, and the breath on Jing Lin's body is very peaceful, because when he is practicing the same mind method, when Yan Fei is close to Jing Lin, he can feel the flow of spiritual energy around him.
He stood in front of Jing Lin, looking down at him.
Look at his slender fingers on his knees, look at his slightly heaving chest due to his slow breathing, look at his long eyelashes silhouetted by drooping eyes, pointed nose wings, and closed thin lips.
It was the person in front of him who he liked, and the other party didn't know anything about this liking.
Yan Fei watched for a while, and found that Jing Lin's eyes were shaking slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly leaned over to get closer to Jing Lin's face...
Jing Lin immediately opened his eyes.
Yan Fei stopped in the middle of his movements, and he could kiss Jing Lin's lips as long as he moved a little further.The two looked at each other for a while, and seeing Jing Lin's scrutinizing eyes, Yan Fei suddenly smiled: "What are you thinking?"
"What... what did you want to do just now?" Jing Lin didn't answer, but asked him instead.Yan Fei's warm breath sprayed on his face when he spoke, which made him very uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while, then leaned back.
Now when he is cultivating, he will keep his spiritual consciousness open, and use his mind and mind to exercise his spiritual consciousness intentionally.So he knew Yan Fei as soon as he entered the room, and he also knew that the other party stared at him for a long time, the scorching heat in his eyes seemed to linger on him for a long time.
What if you didn't open your eyes just now?Will Yan Fei continue to move forward?
Did he just want to kiss himself?But he is a man, and Jing Lin belatedly remembered that Yan Fei liked men, and he finally discovered the difference hidden in Yan Fei's eyes.
Yan Fei straightened up, climbed onto the bed from Jing Lin's side, got into the bed, and lay on the pillow before looking at Jing Lin: "What do you think I wanted to do just now?"
Jing Lin was speechless for a moment.He can't always express his conjecture.
The room was silent for a while.
In the end, Yan Fei said, "Go to sleep, it's already very late." After saying that, his body sank, he closed his eyes, and only his head was exposed under the quilt.
Jing Lin sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then blew out the candle, climbed onto the bed slowly, lifted the quilt and lay down on the edge of the bed, there was still a little distance between Yan Fei.Because there was only one quilt, the wind kept leaking between the two people who were a little far apart.
In the dark, Yan Fei said, "It's cold, can you come in for a little sleep?"
So Jing Lin silently moved in a little bit, and then Yan Fei leaned closer and pressed against his back, "I like men. Can you see it?" Although Jing Lin had his eyes closed just now, he saw that his eyelids were twitching. Trembling, you know that Jing Lin has felt his approach.The act of approaching Jing Lin just now and pretending to kiss him secretly was also done on purpose by him, of course, he really wanted to do it.
Yan Fei likes men, which Jinglin had learned from Zhou Feifei before.What surprised him was Yan Fei's ambiguous behavior, and he even relaxed his breathing for a moment.He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You...to me?"
"I have a good impression of you. Or rather, I like you very much."
"..." This is not the first time in his life that he has been confessed by someone, but it is definitely the first time that he has been confessed by a man.
Seeing that Jinglin didn't respond, Yan Fei felt a little uneasy. He stabilized his emotions and asked, "Alin, do you hate me?"
Hearing Yan Fei's uneasiness, Jing Lin said seriously: "No, I don't hate you."
It can only be said that he was shocked. In the past, he also saw some pictures of same-sex embracing on Weibo. After the initial curiosity, he didn't feel much when he saw it again.I read a lot on the Internet, but this is the first time I met him in real life, and this person is Yan Fei, a friend who has become closer and closer to him.
Just now, this man wanted to secretly kiss himself.
Yan Fei felt the stiffness of Jing Lin's body and sighed silently.He whispered: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you before you agree."
The window paper was unilaterally pierced by Yan Fei, revealing Jing Lin, who had only realized what happened inside, with a panicked face.But Yan Fei was much more relaxed, at least Jing Lin didn't feel disgusted after knowing that he had thoughts about him.Maybe this happened too suddenly, so Jing Lin was still in shock and didn't recover.
As long as Jing Lin doesn't hate himself, then it's easy to talk about anything, don't worry, he has plenty of time.
After all, it was someone else's bed, and because he just knew Yan Fei's thoughts about him, Jing Lin didn't gradually fall asleep until the middle of the night.In the daily fight with Yan Fei, their bodies never stopped touching.His body has adapted to Yan Fei's approaching, he can still keep a distance when he is awake, but once he falls asleep, he will unconsciously move closer to Yan Fei.
She usually sleeps with Lele, but Jing Lin habitually hugs Lele.Sensing a familiar aura in a daze, he thought it was Lele, and stretched out his hand to hug Yan Fei's waist.But because he was shorter than Yan Fei, the sleeping posture of the two people who were close to him looked like Yan Fei was holding Jing Lin in his arms.
"You sent this up yourself." Yan Fei circled Jing Lin's back and whispered, rubbing his cheek against his hair for a while, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep contentedly.
Waking up in the morning, Yan Fei was still sleeping with his eyes closed.Jing Lin withdrew his hand on the opponent in embarrassment, then shrank back, away from Yan Fei's embrace.
"I think you can cuddle for a while longer." Yan Fei said suddenly, his opened eyes did not show the slightest bit of sleepiness, which showed that he woke up earlier than Jing Lin.
Seeing the playful smile in the other party's eyes, Jing Lin quickly avoided the other party's gaze, got up from the bed and started to wear his own clothes, "Get up, there are still many things to do today."
Looking at the back of Jing Lin running away with a little bit of despair, Yan Fei rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Is he shy?"
Hmm, nice find.
After leaving Li Guihua's house, many people had already gotten up, and they were gathering in front of their door, discussing around a pile of grass on the ground.
"What is this?" Jing Lin asked.
"Mimi brought it back." One of Cao Sanye's subordinates said.
"Really?" Jing Linchong beckoned to Mimi, who was lying in the corner playing with his cub, "Mimi, what did you bring back for us to eat?" Because the people in the village used to rely on Mimi to bring them home because of their gastrointestinal problems. That's why Jing Lin asked this question.
"Miwu." Mimi replied lazily.
Tang Hao came out and said: "Crush this grass and attach it to the mouse bite, it will heal faster."
At first, everyone was worried about whether the mouse would be infected with some virus if it was bitten by such a dirty mouse. Unexpectedly, Mimi understood everyone's worries so well, and went out early in the morning to find grass that could be prevented.
So the big guys got busy all at once, and everyone shared some grass, crushed it and applied it on their hands.
"Why didn't I think of keeping a pet before!" Someone said regretfully.
Gao Changhui said: "It's a pity that my dog was strangled to death. If it is still alive, I don't know if it will be like Mimi."
In fact, Gao Changhui's family is not the only one that keeps dogs in the village, but Mimi and Yaya are the only domesticated animals that have mutated.
Everyone put medicinal herbs on the wound, and finally felt relieved.I made do with the dry food I brought with me for breakfast, and started collecting supplies one by one.
The number of people in the second team was about the same as that of Jinglin's village. There were more than 3000 households. Excluding the few families who were still alive, each household collected at least [-] catties of grain, and the total amount was a little over [-] catties.Third Master Cao divided it into two parts and asked Jing Lin and the others to share it with the people in his village.
There are less than 45 people in Jinglin, and each of them can get more than 1000 catties, which is equivalent to the amount of the previous autumn harvest.
Li Feiyu couldn't believe it: "Can we really bring so much food back?"
"Of course." Yan Fei said, "This is the reward you deserve for bravely killing the mice."
Jing Lin thought for a while, and went over to discuss with Mr. Cao: "I want to put a person in this village, and give you half of the food I get as a fee for accepting him, and half for his living expenses."
Third Master Cao: "Who is it?"
"The old man who led us that day."
Third Master Cao looked Jing Lin up and down, and said, "The food is so scarce now, are you willing? It looks like you don't even know him."
"I'm just thinking of my old friend." Jing Lin didn't want to explain further, but only asked Third Master Cao if he agreed.
Living in the countryside, there must be many places to deal with Jing Lin and the others in the future.For example, you need to ask a lot for farming.So Third Master Cao didn't object, and took half of the food left by Jing Lin, and asked him to just bring people over.
Jing Lin breathed a sigh of relief.His personal ability is too weak for this troubled world, and he can't save anyone.But in the past two days, every time he thought of the thin figure of the old man in the city, Jing Lin felt sad for a while.Anyway, the food he got today is considered free. He has no shortage of food, so he came up with such a way to make himself feel at ease.
The car was parked at the foot of the village last night, and the food was distributed, and the big guys happily moved the food to the car.There is too much food, and it can't be done in one trip, at least four or five times, but with the food in hand, I don't care if I am tired.
Jing Lin and the others gathered a wave of food and left the second team. Mr. Cao led his brothers to clean up the house. After the house was cleaned up, they would go back to collect the belongings in the county.
The second team was half an hour away from Jinglin's village, and as soon as they entered the village, the big guys yelled away.They stayed outside for one night, and the people who stayed in the village also worried for the night. When they heard the movement at the entrance of the village, they all ran out.After seeing that everyone's carts were carrying a lot of food, everyone was very pleasantly surprised.
Yan Fei's family was the first at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Feifei and Yan Ruifeng were also the first to run out.Behind them were Zhao Chenghuai and his wife, Lele and Yaya.They came over this morning and have been waiting for them here.
"Why are there so many millets?" After talking to the Yan family, Zhao Chenghuai and Zhou Yu helped Zhao Zhiwen and Jing Lin push the car home, curious about the source of the grain, and asked them if they had killed the rats.
"It's all gone." Jing Lin said the result, and then explained the source of the food.
Zhou Yu asked worriedly, "Would others have any objections?"
"Can you have any comments?" Zhao Zhiwen said, "The survivors of the second team should thank us for helping them kill the rats, otherwise they would not be able to return home, and they would not dare to go back to get food if they had food. As for the other villages Who told them not to participate in the battle? This is what we fought with our lives, so who dares to say anything."
After two days, Li Guihua's spirit has settled down.Ma Mingliang told her that the rats had been wiped out and the village was safe.Li Guihua immediately began to cry again, but this time she still carried the joy of revenge.
Liu Suqin said: "Mom, why don't you move here and live with us." Her mother used to live alone, but at that time it was still a peaceful world, but now it is no longer possible. She is very afraid that something will happen to her mother. The next time Li Guihua escaped from the dead, she still scared Liu Suqin terribly.She had gotten angry with her parents-in-law yesterday, and they were reasonable and agreed.
But Li Guihua declined, she also wanted to live with her daughter, but this is her daughter-in-law's house after all, it's okay to live together for a short period of time, once the days grow longer, friction is inevitable, it will hurt the relationship between the two families, and the daughter is caught in the middle It is also difficult to do.She said: "Didn't Mingliang say that the third master will bring people to live in our village, and there are quite a few people, and they don't know how to bully people. Mom has food and land, so don't worry."
It's not that Liu Suqin doesn't understand Li Guihua's concerns. She persuaded her again and again, but Li Guihua didn't agree, so she had no choice but to give up.
When the villagers went to transport the second wave of grain, Li Guihua followed Ma Mingliang back to the village.
People in the village have always lived in their houses, but fleeing for their lives caused a lot of panic when they were attacked by rats, and they can live in after a little homework.Cao Sanye took Li Guihua to an old willow tree in the village, pointed to a small soil bag there, and said, "We burned all the remains of the people in the village, and the ashes are buried here."
"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Li." Li Guihua wiped her tears and thanked her. Thinking of all the acquaintances in the village squeezed into such a small bag, she felt even more sad.But she also knew that what was probably burned was only the bones, and it was impossible to tell who was who.This is also good, squeezed together, at least have a companion.
Third Master Cao was going to take some of his brothers back to the county seat, Jing Lin told him the address of the old man and asked him to bring them down.
As a result, Mr. Cao returned in vain on the first trip.
"I don't agree to go with us, and I want to wait for my grandson at home." Cao Sanye said helplessly, "I think you should go."
Hearing this, Jing Lin told Zhao Zhiwen that he would follow Third Master Cao and the others into the city.
"I'll go with you." Yan Fei put down a bag of millet that he carried to the car, walked over and looked at Jing Lin and said.
"No need." Jing Lin was always a little embarrassed towards Yan Fei now, "I'm with the third master and the others, the road is very safe."
Yan Fei could see that Jing Lin was avoiding him.There are so many people now that it is hard to talk, he didn't want to create too much pressure on Jing Lin, so he could only take a deep look at Jing Lin, "Then be careful on the road." Then he turned around and stopped looking at Jing Lin, and went to help Zhao Zhiwen move things .
Jing Lin stared at Yan Fei's busy back for a while, then turned around and said to Mr. Cao, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the county seat, Mr. Cao sent Jinglin to the downstairs of the old man's community and then returned to the driving school on Hechuan Road. They agreed to meet at the fork in one hour.
The community where the old man lives is a bit old, and the stairs and lanes can only accommodate two people at the same time.They sent the old man back last time, so they still remember the floor where the old man lives.
Jing Lin knocked on the door, and it took a while to hear a vigilant voice from inside: "Who is it?"
Jing Lin: "Master, it's me."
The old man recognized Jing Lin's voice, and quickly opened the door, "Young man, it's you!"
The old man opened the door and let Jing Lin into the house, "Yesterday the third master said he would take me to the countryside, did you let them come?"
"It's me." The last time I just sent the old man to the door and left, I don't know what the room is like.He took a brief look at the house. The balcony was covered with soil and covered with a film, but nothing grew. There were some weeds on the table against the wall, and there was a water tank next to it. Clean, there is no water in the city, and I don't know where the water comes from.In an open room, there is a wood stove and a coal stove at the entrance, and there are many dried grass roots and branches beside it, and there are also a few briquettes.
The smell in the house is not good.
Jing Lin said: "Why don't you go with them? When you go to the countryside, they will take care of you. It's much safer and more convenient than living here alone."
"I want to wait for my grandson." The old man said stubbornly, "If he comes back one day and can't find me, he will be worried."
Jing Lin understood the old man's worry, and persuaded him patiently: "You can leave a note for him, and when he comes back, he will naturally come to you when he sees the note."
The old man did not speak, but still disagreed.
Jing Lin continued: "You don't know when your grandson will come back. Your physical fitness is here, and you continue to live here. Do you think you eat weeds every day, can you wait until he comes back?"
The old man's hands behind his back trembled, he looked up at Jing Lin, his eyes were a little red.Because of long-term malnutrition, his current health is not as good as the next day. Recently, he is worried whether he can wait for his grandson to come back, and whether he can see his grandson again.
Jing Lin said: "You go back to the countryside with me, and I will store up a few hundred catties of grain for you, which will make you full every day, and then I will give you an acre of land to let you exercise and take care of your body." , wouldn’t it be nice to let your grandson see a healthy you when he comes back?”
The old man looked at Jing Lin incomprehensibly: "We only met for the third time including this time, why did you plan so well for me?"
Jing Lin smiled lightly and said: "Because I was also brought up by my grandfather, just like he was always worried about my food and clothing when I was outside, I was also worried about him. When I see you, I think of my grandfather, I think your grandson outside should feel the same as me."
The old man relaxed a bit, but still hesitated: "But, I can't take your food." This is no different from eating plain rice, the old man can't do this kind of thing.
"I can make an IOU for you. When your grandson comes back, give him the IOU and let him pay it back." In fact, Jing Lin really doesn't care about the 1000-jin
