末世 二三 事

When he returned to the second team, Jing Lin saw a person standing at the entrance of the village from a distance.When he got closer, it was indeed Yan Fei.

After Yan Fei said hello to Uncle Qu, he went up to help Jinglin push the cart, and asked, "How are you doing on the road?"

"Fortunately, it went well."

After entering the village, Jing Lin was busy arranging accommodation and food for Uncle Qu, while Yan Fei followed him silently.

Zhao Zhiwen sneaked up next to Yan Lu secretly, looking at the two of them together.Zhao Zhiwen was puzzled: "What happened to Brother Yan and Ah Lin? Did they quarrel?"

Yan Lu nodded slowly, with an inscrutable look on her face.

Zhao Zhiwen didn't understand what her expression meant, so he rubbed his forehead. He knew Jing Lin's temper, and he had a relatively high tolerance for people he recognized, so he didn't lose his temper easily, so Yan Fei could only make Jing Lin angry. up.

Jing Lin discussed with Third Master Cao, and finally let Uncle Qu live in the same house with several of his subordinates, and moved half of the rations to Uncle Qu's room.

The people in the village have almost moved their food, this is the last trip, and they stayed here to wait for Jing Lin to go back with them, so it would be safer if there were more people.

By the time we got back to the village, it was already past lunch time.Everyone wanted to quickly take home the food that had been assigned to them, so they ate homemade dry food for lunch, and they were not hungry after making do with it.

Back and forth for a long time, in the cold weather, Jing Lin and the others were also sweating, and Zhou Yu had already boiled the bath water.After taking a shower, washing his hair, and drinking a few sips of the broth that Zhou Yu specially made, his body couldn't be more warm and comfortable, and the previous busyness was nothing.

In the fighting training in the afternoon, because of Yan Fei's sudden confession last night, Jing Lin was always a bit absent-minded when he started fighting with him.Then he was beaten by Yan Fei all the time, Jing Lin saw that his face was expressionless the whole time, and he was not like before, when they fought each other, they would point out each other's shortcomings, talking and laughing.After being punched in the abdomen, Jing Lin was also a little angry, and he raised his spirits and began to fight seriously.

In the past, no matter how hard they fought, it was a friendly exchange of ideas, but today it smelled like gunpowder without knowing it.

When Jing Lin faced Yan Fei, he was always close, and in the end he was thrown over his shoulder by Yan Fei and fell to the ground.

Jing Lin was still lying on the ground panting, but before, Yan Fei had stretched out his hand to pull him up, but today he just looked down at Jing Lin, and said after a while: "Let's practice here today."

As he was about to get up, Jing Lin suddenly lifted his legs, his ankles clamped Yan Fei's neck, and his thighs stretched hard, Yan Fei was brought down to the ground, and then Jing Lin turned over, and his elbows stuck into Yan Fei's neck , aggressively: "You lost."

Yan Fei stared at him for a while, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, with doting eyes, "Okay. You win."

Yan Fei smiled, Jing Lin's whole body was like a punctured balloon, and the air leaked in an instant.Then he realized that he was sitting straddling Yan Fei's waist, bent over and arched his back, and the distance from Yan Fei's face was no more than twenty centimeters.If it was in the past, Jing Lin wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong, but today it's changed, how ambiguous it is.

Jing Lin rolled over from Yan Fei and lay down beside Yan Fei.He closed his eyes, and it took him a while to say: "I'm sorry." Now he can't face Yan Fei with his previous attitude at all, but when Yan Fei no longer gets along with him with his previous attitude, he feels unhappy again.He was actually very annoyed at Yan Fei's previous confession, which meant that the relationship between the two would change, and Jing Lin had always been content with the status quo regarding the relationship between men and women, and this change caught him off guard.

"You don't have to apologize." Yan Fei said, "I caused you trouble. If you don't want to, we can suspend it for a few days."

Jing Lin didn't say a word, his current state is really not suitable for practice.

At this time, Lele's voice calling them both came from below: "Uncle, not uncle."

Jing Lin and Yan Fei's fighting training place has always been the top floor of Jing Lin's house.Don't be Lele watching during the usual practice, after all, they are also serious, afraid of scaring the children, so basically, Lele is either playing with Yaya below by himself, or is being led by Zhao Chenghuai and his wife.

Hearing Lele's cry, Jing Lin climbed up and stood on the guardrail looking down, seeing Lele looking up with her little head up, "What's the matter?"

Lele said excitedly: "Duck Ya, it caught a lot of snakes back."

Jing Lin's face changed when he heard that, and he ran downstairs without saying a word, and Yan Fei hurriedly followed.

Once downstairs, Jing Lin saw a bunch of colorful snakes appearing in the yard. The water pipes would be frozen in the morning, and now that the temperature is so low, these snakes that suddenly appeared in the yard didn't even move.

Fear of snakes seems to be an innate human nature.Jing Lin was no exception, Ya Ya saw Jing Lin coming out, picked up a pitch-black snake and approached Jing Lin, and the snake was thrown back and forth following its movements.Jing Lin hurriedly told him not to come over, and felt a little headache when he saw the ducks and ducks who were still waiting for his praise with their heads held high, "Why did you catch the snake back?"

Judging from Guagua before, Lele's aesthetics is different from theirs. He also stood next to Yaya, not afraid of those snakes that made Jing Lin's skin crawl. Give us something to eat!"

Yaya put down the snake in its mouth, and called twice in agreement.

It turned out that the reason why Ya Ya would do this was because of Jing Lin.

After Mimi recovered from her injury, she would go to the mountain every day, and would bring prey back to Tang Tang's family from time to time. It can be said that the food quality of Tang Tang's family has risen in a straight line, above the whole village.

I ate at Zhao Zhiwen's house two days ago, the meat was marinated crocodile meat, no matter how delicious it was, I would get tired of eating it every day, Jing Lin said with emotion: It's really good to have a Mimi, Tang Tang's family can eat it every day Eat fresh meat.

Everyone knows the human nature of ducks and ducks, but they didn't expect to be heard by it, so they took advantage of the winter and ran out secretly.I don't know how it found it, but it found a snake nest, and caught all the hibernating snakes hiding in it. Not a single one was left, and the old nest was given to others.

Yaya seeks praise from Jing Lin, proving that it is a big white goose that catches prey for its master, and it is no worse than that Mimi, okay?

"Well, it's well done." Jing Lin touched Yaya's head, and asked again worriedly: "Are these all edible?"

After getting Ya Ya's affirmative answer, Jing Lin looked at the pile of snakes and began to worry. There were at least twenty or so of them. He didn't even want to see such soft things, let alone touch them.

At this time, Yan Fei dug out an old snakeskin bag from the utility room, and put the snake into the bag with tongs, "Take it to Uncle Zhao to see if he can handle it."

Jing Lin looked at him, "OK."

When we arrived at Zhao’s house, Zhao Zhiwen was not at home, so he probably went to play with Yan Lu. Zhao Chenghuai was helping Zhou Yu straighten his wool. When he heard that Yan Fei was coming with a bag of snakes, he immediately put the wool aside, opened the bag and looked inside, happy. A: "Good stuff."

Jing Lin said, "Uncle, will you handle it?"

"Of course." Zhao Chenghuai said, "When I was young, my family was poor, and the elders in my family liked to catch snakes. I ate a lot when I was young."

The snakes caught by ducks and ducks are all common in the vicinity, most of them are not poisonous, and several poisonous ones are not very poisonous.Zhao Chenghuai chopped off the heads of the snakes and threw them away. He dug out the galls and soaked them in wine, then scraped the skins and deboned them.

Not long after, Zhao Zhiwen and Yan Lu also came.As soon as Zhao Zhiwen saw the snake meat being processed, he excitedly followed to help. When he was working in province G, he had eaten snake soup many times, and he still remembered the taste.

In the evening, it was Zhao Chenghuai who was in charge of the spoon himself, and cooked the snake soup that Zhao Zhiwen was thinking of, and also cooked the snake meat soup. Except for Jing Lin who couldn't finish his mouth, everyone ate to their hearts' content.

Of course, Yaya, the little snake catching expert, also gets a bowl of snake soup and a big bowl of snake soup.

When they went home at night, Lele and Yan Fei played monkey cuddles. Lele looked very happy, laughing and laughing all the way riding on Yan Fei's neck.Jing Lin followed behind the two, feeling an inexplicable emotion spreading in his heart.

In the evening, after taking a bath, Jing Lin sat on the bed and meditated.

He has only reached the second level of the mental method of the Qiankun Chapter, which is much slower than the cultivation progress of the Beginning Chapter.But with each level of advancement, his meridians have to be expanded a little bit, his physical fitness is getting better and better, and the time he can last in the battle is getting longer and longer. With so many injuries on his body before, it is reasonable to say that he needs to cultivate for at least a month or two. It will be all right in ten days, all because he practiced the mind method.Moreover, his eyesight is much better now than before, and he no longer relies on glasses to see things, and has now returned to normal levels. I believe that as long as he continues to practice, his eyesight will become even better than Li Feiyu's.

After finishing the routine practice, Jing Lin was about to lie down when suddenly his heart moved and he let go of his consciousness.

The scope of his spiritual sense has increased a lot, and it can already cover the entire building. He probed into the room where Yan Fei was, despising his practice of spying on people's privacy in his heart, but really wanted to know What is Yan Fei doing now.

The kerosene lamp was still burning in the room, and Yan Fei was half lying on the bed covered with a quilt, with a black scarf in front of him, the one she knitted when she was learning how to knit a sweater.I don't know what he was thinking, his eyes looked at a certain point of nothingness, and he touched the scarf with his hands.Suddenly he seemed to feel something, and when he raised his head, he met the direction of Jing Lin who was watching him secretly, "A Lin?"

Suddenly, the consciousness retreated.

Yan Fei practiced the same mental method, although the progress was not as good as that of Jing Lin, and his spiritual consciousness was not yet there, but his five senses were much more sensitive.Jing Lin's spiritual sense seems to be invisible, but Yan Fei can still feel the feeling of being watched.

Yan Fei could almost imagine Jing Lin's annoyed look after he found out, and chuckled happily a few times.Then put the scarf on the head of the bed, turned off the oil lamp and went to sleep.

As for Jing Lin who was discovered, his cheeks were hot at the moment, knowing that Yan Fei would not be able to see him now, he still buried himself in the quilt as if he was stealing the bell, and dared not come out for a long time.Just say that other people's privacy is not allowed to pry, and now the person involved discovered it, so embarrassing.

The next day, just as Jing Lin opened the door and came out, Yan Fei who happened to be opposite also got up.As soon as the two met, Yan Fei smiled at him, Jing Lin was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at him, he hurriedly said "morning" and walked into the bathroom.

Yan Fei also followed, leaning against the bathroom door and looking at Jing Lin who was brushing his teeth with his head bowed, and said with a smile, "What? Don't dare to look at me today? Fortunately, I didn't do anything strange last night, or you would have seen me, Aren't you afraid to go out today?"

They are all big men, Yan Fei said this "strange thing" in a teasing tone, and Jing Lin understood it almost instantly.He blushed for a moment.

Yan Fei laughed and said, "Even if you saw what I did strangely last night, I'm the one who blush in embarrassment."

In general, it is their own fault.Jing Lin brushed his teeth and washed his face sullenly, ignoring Yan Fei.

Yan Fei was afraid of making people angry by teasing him, so he didn't continue, and only went in after Jing Lin finished washing.

When Yan Fei came out, Jing Lin was squatting beside the vegetable field with tomatoes.

Yan Fei walked over and squatted beside him: "What's wrong?"

Jing Lin was still a little uncomfortable with his approach, but he tried not to show it, he pointed with his finger: "Look, it's over."

Yan Fei's gaze stayed on his finger for a moment, and then he looked along, and saw a small red fruit hidden in the middle of a few flower buds that had been hanging for a long time. You can't see it at all.

Tomatoes are a crop that loves light and temperature, and the plants will stop growing when the temperature drops ten degrees. In such a cold day, if it was before, the tomatoes would have been frozen to death.But whether it was the tomatoes from Yan Fei's family or the two tomatoes that Jing Lin moved over at that time, the growth status has not changed, the leaves are still green, and the hanging buds have not fallen or bloomed.

I didn't see any movement before, but I didn't expect it to start fruiting in such a cold day, and it's not like the immature green fruit like the previous tomatoes, this one turned red.

Jing Lin said: "As long as it starts to bear fruit, it proves that it has been growing." It's just that I don't know how long it will take to mature, and what it will look like after maturity.

Just had to look again.

Those Chaotian pepper plants have been bearing fruit all the time, and Jing Lin has already picked a lot of them, leaving a lot of pepper seeds.

After breakfast, the three of them went out to Zhao's house.

When the three of them arrived at Zhao's house, in the front yard of Zhao's house, a water pipe came out from the backyard. Zhao Zhiwen was wearing plastic gloves and holding a brush to brush the mud on the sweet potatoes in a large basin. Zhao Chenghuai cleaned Zhao Zhiwen. Brush it again and wash it with clean water, then give it to Zhou Yu to cut into small pieces, and put them in a clean basket on one side.After everything is done, they will be pulled together to the processing station and ground into powder with a stone mill.

When the temperature got colder, I was afraid that the sweet potatoes in the field would be frozen. Before planting rapeseed, all the sweet potatoes in Zhao Zhiwen's field were dug out, and they had been preserved for more than a month, and the sweet potatoes became very sweet.In the past, his family’s sweet potatoes were cooked and eaten by themselves, and the rest were sold. People in the city liked this, and it cost more than one yuan per catty, and they could sell it for a little money every year.This year there is no place to sell, and there is no cellar, so the bad ones are fed to pigs, and the good ones are sorted out. Some of them are boiled and dried into dried sweet potatoes, and some are used for grinding, which can be used to make starch or vermicelli.

In the past, no matter whether it was starch or french fries, they were all bought and eaten directly.They like to use starch to tenderize the fried meat here, and the meat without starch is generally stuffy, so few people like to eat it.So if you don't make it yourself this year, you have nothing to eat.

"Here we come." As soon as Zhao Zhiwen saw Jing Lin, he was not polite, threw out a pair of plastic gloves that had been prepared earlier, and made room for Jing Lin, and the two of them held a sweet potato brush together.The water was just pressed from the bottom of the well, and it was warm to the touch at first, but it would become icy cold after a while. Zhao Chenghuai was getting old, and even wearing plastic gloves, he couldn't bear to keep his hands wet for a long time.So Jing Lin got busy, and Yan Fei also went up to take over Zhao Chenghuai's work.

In the morning, I prepared all the sweet potatoes that should be harvested. In the afternoon, I borrowed a horse from Yan Fei's family to pull the sweet potato pieces to the processing station, grind them, and then pull them back. Filter the starch with gauze to remove impurities. After settling for several times, shovel out the agglomerated starch and put it into a clean white cloth, hang it up for dehydration, and the dehydrated starch lumps can be dried in the sun. After drying, it is the sweet potato starch generally sold on the market.

Because it takes a long time to settle each time, this procedure alone takes two or three days, and overall it is a relatively cumbersome project.

As for dried sweet potatoes, it is convenient. Pick a warmer weather, wash the sweet potatoes and put them in a pot to steam. The steamed sweet potatoes should not be too raw or too soft. Just let it dry.

This day, a few people were peeling steamed sweet potatoes at Zhao's house, when Li Feiyu suddenly ran over, "Brother Ah Lin, Brother Yan, go and have a look, there are thieves in the entrance of the village again!"

A few people looked at each other, why is there another thief in the village?

The thief was discovered by Wang Junda. He was checking how the rapeseed in the field was growing. Because the nearby wheat fields were covered with plastic film of different colors, he was blocked by squatting in the field.So a thief who just sneaked in didn't see Wang Junda, and was attacked from behind by him. Unfortunately, the thief was too alert and agile, scuffled Wang Junda a few times, kicked Wang Junda away and ran away.

When Jing Lin and the others arrived at Ma Renshan's house, they heard Wang Junda say: "That one entered the village, but when he fled, I saw several people jumping out of the distant forest. It was too far away. I can't see clearly, but there are at least seven or eight people."

Zhao Shaoqian said: "I heard from Brother Wang that there is only one person who entered the village. It seems that the other party came to touch the terrain."

"Fortunately, I was discovered at the entrance of the village today. Otherwise, seven or eight people sneaked in, and I don't know what would happen."

The last time Jing Lin's family had an accident, Jing Lin's injury made everyone wake up a bit, but the most important thing was throwing people to feed the fish. Those were lives, and many of them personally sent them into the mouth of the fish. The shadow is now Also still there.

"I'm always missed by thieves. This is not good. I can't live in peace."

"I don't know where those people came from. If they know, they can come to warn them."

"How about we build a fence?" Ma Chunjian suggested, "It's not a problem to be missed all the time, and anyone can touch the village."

"How to fix it?"

"Block the road at the entrance of the village and leave a door for everyone to go in and out normally."

"It's not enough to just block the road. You can still come in along the lower hillside next to it."

"Then surround all the fields in our village and build a row of walls to form a small world."

"Then this is a big project. Let's not talk about where we can find cement and bricks. We found them. Now we only rely on manpower to move them, so it will take several days."

Ma Renshan tapped the cigarette stick on the ground: "That's nothing to do. For everyone's safety and for the sake of the village, I can only work harder."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Jing Lin stood in the corner. Although he didn't speak, he agreed more than anyone else.

The house was attacked that night, and I learned from the gangsters that the crops in their village had stopped growing. Jing Lin had also seen the things planted on Uncle Qu's balcony, and the situation was the same.Since he set up the spirit-gathering array in the village, things have started to grow normally, and they can eat off-season vegetables by relying on the film. The living standards of the big guys seem to have returned to before the troubled times.Although everyone also had doubts about the situation in the village, they all knew the importance of this matter. Ma Renshan ordered privately not to speak out that night, so everyone kept their mouths tight.Only one Li Guihua has been in the village recently, and then there is the thief discussed just now.Fortunately, the entrance to the village is covered with wheat fields and rapeseed fields, and the vegetable fields of the village are on the other side. As long as you don't go there, you can't find any abnormalities in their village.

If the fence is built in the future, then anyone who wants to enter the village must obtain the consent of the villagers, so that everyone will have time to make preparations.

And when they were discussing here, on the road far away from Jinglin's village, a dozen or so people were walking and talking: "Yang Er, Shi Lei can't be found, what should we do now, they won't really have an accident, right?"

Yang Er's real name is Yang Xiaolong, he is the second eldest in the family, his elder brother Yang Dalong went out to work with Shi Lei from the same village more than ten days ago.He still remembered that before his brother and Shi Lei set off, because they knew that the person they were going to steal was a single man with a child, everyone thought it would be easy to get it, and celebrated in advance.Unexpectedly, their family has been waiting at home for half a month and they have not seen anyone, and no one has come back.In the past, his brother was often away from home, and it was normal for him not to come back for five or six days after working with Shi Lei.But it's not normal to go out for half a month and not come back in this troubled world.

Some people in the village looked down on what his brothers did, and some gloated that they must have been eaten by animals outside, but he didn't believe it.So they found a few people, all of whom were family members of those who worked with Shi Lei, and came all the way to Jinglin's village to inquire about the situation.Because he was afraid of attracting attention, the others waited not far from the entrance of the village, and he entered the village alone.Unexpectedly, with such a backlash, he was discovered as soon as he entered the village. Fortunately, he escaped wittily.

Yang Er rubbed his bruised wrist that fell to the ground when he wrestled with Wang Junda just now, his eyes glistening with sternness, "Either my brother and the others temporarily changed their minds and didn't go to that village that night, or they went, and it turned out He was discovered, and was brutally silenced by the other party."

Hatred slowly rose in Yang Er's eyes. No matter what the result was for his brother, he would definitely arrest the people in that village and question him.

After the village unanimously agreed to build the fence, all that was left was to find the source of goods.

Basically everyone knows that there is a brick factory not far from Huangtai Town. The chimney was half knocked down, but it has been working fine for the last few years.

When Jinglin and the others passed through Huangtai Town before, they saw a lot of red bricks in the brick factory, but now they can't be eaten, and no one wants them anymore.When they pull back, no one should say anything.

The source of the bricks is known, but we really don't know where it is near the cement factory.

Jing Lin said: "There must be buildings under construction in the city. Let's go to those construction sites and see for sure."

"That's right, that's not what I expected."

Most people in the village had to go out to pull red bricks, and the safety issues of those who stayed in the village, which no one had thought about before, began to be raised.In the end, it was decided that Mimi would be responsible for the security of the village. The three cats also meowed and meowed to express their willingness to participate. There was also the Lele raised duck. The big white goose has a strong sense of territory. Range, that voice is louder than anyone else, and by the way, Duck Yaya also found Quack back, and the tenacity of the prey's tongue is also unusually strong.

Like them, Mr. Cao was also thinking of building the fence.

Early in the morning, Jing Lin and the others set off, and met Cao Sanye's convoy on the way. When they heard that Jing Lin and the others were going to the brick factory, they smiled and said, "I was just trying to find a time to inform you, but I didn't expect Together, it saves me from making another trip."

"What's wrong?" Jing Lin asked.

Mr. Cao said: "Do you know Qingluo County next door? I have a brother who came to join me from there and told me that several forces in that area are uniting to collect protection fees from the subordinate villages. Two thousand catties. Many villages refused to give it, and they all resisted, and many people died."

Two thousand catties a year for each household, this is drinking other people's blood!The autumn harvest is reduced, and there is no hope for the summer harvest in the coming year. To open your mouth like this is tantamount to driving people to a dead end.

Speaking of this, Mr. Cao was a little embarrassed, and also a little disdainful: "Although I used to live on the protection fee, Mr. Cao, and I belonged to the party that squeezed it, but I only have two hundred catties per household every year, and I also help The nearby residents get rid of the threatening mutated animals and plants. This little reward is not too much for them to have a safe environment. But those people don’t do anything just to harvest the food, they leave after collecting the food, and then ignore it , and what is the difference between robbing."

Everyone feels uncomfortable listening to it. Shouldn't people unite and help each other at this time?Even if you can't help each other, don't hurt others.

Yan Fei asked, "Is this why you thought of building the fence?"

"Yes, by the way, prevent mutant animals and plants. How about you?"

"There have been thieves in our village twice."

"It needs to be repaired." Cao Sanye said with emotion, "Food is equal to life these days."

Passing through Xiejia Village, the convoy was so noisy that many people lifted the curtains on the second floor to look out.

Xie Shu saw Jing Lin's acquaintances, and knew that they might be looking for something again, so he hurriedly shouted at Yan Fei: "What are you doing?"

Yan Fei said: "Go out and get some bricks, go back and build the wall."

Xie Shu's eyes lit up: "You wait for me, we will come right away."

Jing Lin couldn't help laughing, this letter of thanks must have been waiting for them.

Soon the shutter door of Xie Shu's house was opened, and the two brothers rode a tricycle, and the two mistresses of the family also came out.

Everyone continued to walk, Xie Shu rode beside Yan Fei and Jing Lin, he said: "It's good for all of you in the village to be united, and you dare to go anywhere. You don't know, at dawn today, a big white snake walked across the road in our village. Sliding forward, many people dare not go out."

Jing Lin felt uncomfortable when he heard the word snake, and frowned beside him.

Yan Fei asked: "Big white snake? How big is it?"

Xie Shu's wife stretched out her hand and gestured with lingering fear: "It's thicker than my waist. In the morning, I opened the curtains and moved my body by the window, and watched it slide past me, and it even turned to look at me, which scared me. Didn't even dare to move."

Xie Shu's wife belongs to the kind of thin person, but she is tall, so she also has a big frame, which is thicker than her waist, at least two feet more.

"Which direction is it going?" Jing Lin paid attention to the key points.

"In the direction you came from."

When other people have a headache, doesn't it mean that their area is not safe anymore.But Jing Lin took it easy, there was a big mullet in the village, at least he wasn't worried that the big white snake would break into the village.

Xie Shu said: "A few days ago, I was discussing with my brother to move some bricks and come back to build a wall around the front yard. I asked several households in the village, but no one was willing to go. I told the story of the big white snake. Originally People with ideas are afraid to go out."

What Xie Shu said was right. Jing Lin and the others were waiting for the Xie Shu for a few minutes. If they heard the sound and wanted to go, they would come out on a bicycle, and it would take only a few minutes.It's a pity that only the two brothers of the Xie family came out in the end.

Cao Sanye said: "Then the people in your village are so frightened, how did you do it during the autumn harvest?"

Xie Shu smiled bitterly: "If you don't collect the food, you will starve to death. If you don't want to come out, you still have to come out. There is no choice."

There is a road in the middle of Xiejia Village, with houses on both sides and fields behind the houses.At the beginning of the autumn harvest and the planting after the autumn harvest, everyone was tense, and many people were tortured and fell ill.

Cao Sanye said: "Scare yourself." In his view, it is completely unnecessary to be so afraid. Everyone will die.But this is how people face the unknown horror, so he understands these people.

Passing the former fork all the way, the convoy headed towards Huangtai Town. Halfway there, they saw a middle-aged man and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy putting a pile of loose soil on the side of the road into a damaged car in front of their door. In the car, someone asked curiously: "What are you two doing?"

The boy said: "Make a house for my baby earthworm."

The man didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "What baby?"

Seeing his son answering these people just now, the man who should be his father didn't stop him. Seeing that his son was about to speak again, he hurriedly gave him a hand.But it was too late, I saw that the pile of soil they were shoveling suddenly moved, something under it kept pushing up, and then suddenly the soil layer broke, and a black thing emerged from the soil, thick and long. Standing up, he was facing the person who was asking the question, staring at him with two black eyes blinking, like a curious baby.

"Ahhh!" The man was so frightened that he fell off the car seat.

The curious baby also seemed to be taken aback. He turned around and ran behind the boy, then cautiously poked his head out to stare at the crowd, blinking his eyes.

"This is..." Everyone looked at the thing hiding behind the boy. It looked like a snake but not like it, and it looked familiar.

The boy patted the curious baby's head and said, "It's a mutated earthworm, it's timid. Don't scare it."

"Earthworm?" Jing Lin looked at it, and it seemed to be a large earthworm, but earthworms have no eyes, so they were not sure for a while.However, animals have mutated, and it is not surprising that earthworms have eyes.

Yan Fei looked at the thick soil dug out by earthworms, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the loose soil is very powerful?"

"Yes!" the boy proudly said, "Earth Baby can loosen the soil very quickly, one mu of land can be done in one hour."

Everyone was surprised, it was really super fast.I think they were exhausted when they loosened the soil.Looking at it this way, although this large earthworm looks scary, it is very practical. After Jinglin and the others left, the boy's father said unhappily: "What are you talking about to them? I'm not afraid that they will kill the earthworm. Baby's idea?"

The boy didn't care: "They are all just ordinary humans, how can they beat the earthworm?" However, he touched the earthworm who had been around him all the time, and said with a smile: "Earthboy, don't you think so?"

Earth Baby tilted his head, originally there were only two black peas eyes on his head, a mouth suddenly opened under the eyes, and he showed a bright smile to his master, with a row of white sharp teeth gleaming.

Jing Lin and the others finally arrived at Huangtai Town, and then they all went down a slope into the factory.

Rows of red bricks were laid out in square formations on the open space, and a lot of them were still scattered on the ground due to the earthquake.Park a car in front of a square team, and start moving to the red brick square team closest to the slope.

The villagers moved non-stop for more than ten days before they could move enough red bricks.Third Master Cao and the others followed suit for so many days.It stands to reason that the physical fitness of Mr. Cao and his group should be stronger than those in his village, but after so many days, even Mr. Cao himself was almost exhausted. Not bad, but the situation is much better than them.

Only Jing Lin and the others knew that this was the reason for the spirit-gathering array he arranged.The villagers live in the spirit-gathering array every day and eat the vegetables in the spirit-gathering array. Although it is not like their special cultivation, the body washed by the spiritual energy is slowly being changed and becomes stronger than before. Diseases also disappeared.

For example, Zhao Chenghuai had the problem of leg pain in cold weather, but this year's sudden change of weather did not affect him, and the pain that tortured him before disappeared even more.Zhou Yu's stomach used to suffer from stomach pains and flatulence, etc., but this situation is gone now.Zhou Feifei suffered from frozen shoulder because of facing the computer at work, and she has recovered completely.

In short, as long as the Spirit Gathering Formation is always there and they live in it, their bodies will become stronger and stronger. As long as there are no accidents, longevity is not a problem.

Once the red bricks are done, it is time to start transporting the cement.

But because everyone is very tired, I will rest at home for two days before going out.It was at this time that everyone remembered that the Chinese New Year would be here in a few days.

"This Spring Festival comes without any precautions." Zhao Zhiwen slumped on the sofa of Jinglin's house, and said bored.

In previous years, the New Year's Eve atmosphere was heated up with one month left.This year there is less TV and less internet. Everyone is busy making a living, so they don't care about it at all.

A brazier was burned in the house, and a few sweet potatoes were buried in it.Jing Lin sat there studying the talisman array, and Yan Fei sat next to him staring at the brazier.Yan Lu and Lele got together to read a martial arts novel, which Yan Lu borrowed from other friends in the village. It will get boring, and you can turn it out and read it several times after a while.

Yan Fei felt that it was almost done, took the tongs and gently dug out in the brazier, took out three sweet potatoes, took them outside under the eaves and gently shook off the ash on them, then entered the room and handed one to Jing Lin and Lele himself. Peel off half of it and hand it to him to eat, and remind him to be careful not to burn his mouth.

There is no heating and air conditioning in the room, and the doors and windows are only half closed, making it very cold.Jing Lin took the sweet potato that Yan Fei handed over, and said thank you.

The sweet potato is still hot, and it warms up after a while in the hand. The ash on the skin has been cleaned up by Yan Fei. Jing Lin tore off the softened skin, revealing the soft red heart inside. It is also rushing towards the face, a bite is soft and sweet, and there is still heat after entering the stomach, and the body becomes warm after eating.

Zhao Zhiwen saw the three eating there with gusto, and yelled, "Brother Yan, take out a sweet potato for me too, you can't discriminate against me just because I'm not as good-looking as the two of them, is there any brotherhood?" .”

Jing Lin's face was a little unnatural, afraid that Zhao Zhiwen would think too much, so he quickly picked up the pokers and handed him one in front of him.

"It's better for me, Ah Lin!" Zhao Zhiwen cast a look of disdain at Yan Fei, and then went to pick it up with his hands, but he was scalded and screamed. Jing Lin also panicked, and hurried over to look at him, " Are your hands okay?"

Zhao Zhiwen grinned for a while, then suddenly smiled as if nothing had happened, and took the
