末世 二三 事

Even though the Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, everyone does not plan to take a break, and wants to take advantage of these few days to move all the cement back, so that construction can start immediately after the Chinese New Year.So they simply rested for two days, and the people in the village went out to look for cement.Counting the time, the group gathered at the agreed place with Mr. Cao.

When he arrived, Mr. Cao was taking off his gloves and staring at his palm repeatedly.After moving the bricks for more than ten days, even with gloves on, the skin on the palms of his hands was worn away. Because of the cold weather, Mr. Cao's palms had a lot of chilblains, and many of them were festering now.

Many of his subordinates are the same as him. Some of them had chilblains that year, not only on their hands, but also on their faces. They were red and swollen. They looked like Chinese characters in northern Shaanxi, but many people took it for granted.

Cao Sanye said enviously: "I didn't think so before, but now it seems that the people in your village are all in good health." The spirit is better than them, and no one has frostbite.

Jing Lin said vaguely: "Probably this is the so-called one side's water and soil supports one side's people."

Third Master Cao didn't think much about it, he just sighed casually.

After hearing this, Li Feiyu secretly told Gao Changhui, "I just found out that I didn't have frostbite this year."

Gao Changhui also whispered, "I didn't either this year."

There are actually very few people here who don't get chilblains in winter. Others don't know what they think. Li Feiyu thinks that he is really evolving. His eyesight has improved, chilblains have stopped growing, and his body is really good.

Passing through Xiejia Village, the two Xie Shu brothers were already waiting. After more than ten days, some of their village's later generations also joined the ranks of moving bricks.They are all to build a wall for their own house, and they don't need much, so they have been resting at home for several days, and what they need now is cement.

Before going up to the bridge in the county seat, you can see towering semi-finished buildings in the distance.

"Where are you going?" On the bridge, the big guy looked at Jing Lin and the others and Third Master Cao, and finally put his gaze on Third Master Cao, and asked.

Mr. Cao is not actually a local, but he has brought dozens of brothers with him. Over the past few months, he has a good understanding of the various areas of the county, and he has been living in the county for so long, and he goes out almost every day. People in the village know better.

The place where the bridge is located is on the north side of the county seat, and almost all the places that can be developed on the north side of the city have been developed. In recent years, developers have focused on the development on the south side of the city, so if they want to find cement, they can only go to the south of the city.But to go to the south of the city, no matter from the center or the edge of the city, you need to go through more than half of the county.Unfortunately, no matter which way you go, you have to pass through the edge of the area occupied by man-eating morning glory.

The danger level immediately increased.

Mr. Cao thought for a while and said, "Fangbei Middle School was building a new school site, which is on the Leiming Mountain in the south of the city."

Thunder Mountain was developed by the county seat in the past two years. There is a playground built on the mountainside, and it is quite lively during the holidays.Fangbei Middle School is one of the three best high schools in the county, and its teaching quality ranks second. The old campus is in the north of the city. When Jing Lin came back last year, he heard that Fangbei Middle School was going to build a new school in another place. I don't know where.

And Thunder Mountain is close to the south of the city, where mutant animals and plants are entrenched.

The man-eating morning glory divides the county into two parts. Most of the human beings flee to live in the north of the city. The south part of the city is divided into two parts. The left side is occupied by the three-colored cat, and the right side is occupied by the blood python. If you want to pass the cannibal morning glory, you have to pass through these two sites. Now you have to choose whether to go from the left or the right.

Cao Sanye said: "For safety, we enter the county from the suburbs on the right. It is easy to meet the three-colored cat when you walk on the left. Although the cat will not be attacked if you don't enter its territory, I heard that it has a sinister personality. Maybe it’s sunny, maybe it’ll make fun of people when it’s in a bad mood, it’s not safe. Before I moved to the countryside, I met people from other forces, and they said that the blood python hadn’t been seen for a long time. Maybe it's cold and hibernating. As long as we keep quiet when we pass by its territory, it won't be disturbed, and it will be safer. Anyway, let's go over there first. If it doesn't work, let's go back Think again."

Finally, everyone agreed, turn right on the bridge, and take the road on the right to enter the city.

This is the first time that Jinglin and the others have seen the buildings in the city at close range since the troubled times. Not to mention the weeds on the road, because there are still people moving around in the city, so the weeds have been pushed down, and they can be seen from a long distance .Looking up at those buildings, many of them were cracked by huge trees that jumped up suddenly, crooked and collapsed, and the branches of many trees passed directly through the middle of the floor, as if growing out of the floor.

And when we approached the man-eating morning glory, we saw a floor that was almost completely covered by vegetation climbing from a distance. There were many large flowers blooming on it, which were colorful and very beautiful.If it weren't for the bad environment of the world and the dilapidated surroundings, the beautiful scenery like this hanging garden would definitely attract many people to watch.It's a pity that these flowers are so beautiful, but people will fall into their blood and die if they don't pay attention.

"This is the man-eating morning glory." Cao Sanye said.

The county town is lined with high-rise buildings and giant trees, so that people standing outside the city cannot see the morning glories at all under the cover of buildings and buildings, and only when they get closer can they barely see one or two.

Everyone was shocked.

And Xie Shu and his wife, who once escaped from the mouth of the morning glory, turned pale when they saw the morning glory, and the shadow of being almost used as nourishment still remains.

Going forward, the morning glories crawling on the floor probably smelled the smell of humans, and all the blooming flowers turned towards them, like hunters who have found their prey and just stared at it.

Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to move, and some people began to fight their teeth: "Is it really hard for it?"

Cao Sanye reassured everyone: "It can't go on this road yet, so don't worry."

Then everyone walked tremblingly, trying to stay away from the morning glory.After a rustling sound, the grass on the other side of the road was suddenly pushed away, and a cluster of morning glory vines suddenly rushed out, rushing towards the crowd.

"Ahhh!" Li Feiyu was terrified, and the morning glory rushed towards him, and he jumped out of the car as soon as he lost it, and hid on the other side of the car.

The others were also terrified, ready to fight, only to find that although the morning glory had slipped onto the road, it was not long enough. It only climbed half a meter, and everyone was still within a safe distance.Seeing the ferocious flowers that were not long enough to gather around Li Feiyu desperately, everyone turned to look at Mr. Cao.

Didn't you say you can't get on this road?What's the situation now.

Mr. Cao’s expression was a bit bad: "It has evolved again. When we passed here before, its vines were at least 100 meters away from here." And carefully calculated its expansion speed in the past few months, The rate of evolution has recently accelerated significantly.

The convoy was very long, and Jing Lin's spiritual consciousness was not enough to envelop everyone in it. He and Li Feiyu were separated by a certain distance, so there was no time to notice it.Jing Lin drew out the big knife tied to his back, walked over a few steps, and slashed at the flower. Everyone seemed to hear a strange creaking sound, and then the vine without the flower trembled twice on the spot as if in pain, leaving A spot of red blood that resembled blood rushed away quickly, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The flowers on the ground lost the support of the vines, and they could no longer come and go freely, but they jumped around like a fish out of water. Jing Lin held it down with a knife, and the big guy took a closer look, only to find the funnel-shaped flower In the heart of the flower, there is no pistil, and there is a circle of sharp red teeth that are half a finger long.

Jing Lin and the others still remembered what Xie Shu said at the time, with such sharp teeth, it's no wonder they can wring a person's head off.

After 2 minutes, the flower stopped moving, as if time was advancing rapidly, and the life of the flower was also quickly withdrawn, and soon it became a withered flower that remained in place.

"Let's go." Jing Lin put away the knife.It's not safe around here, it's better to get out of here as soon as possible.

After entering the territory of the blood python, everyone walked more cautiously.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter anything bad until they got out of the blood python's territory, and they didn't find any trace of the blood python. They should really be hibernating, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then speeded up to Thunder Mountain At the foot of the mountain, walk to the new site of Fangbei Middle School.

The new school site was also covered by weeds, and the surrounding grass was as new as it was. There was not a single path, and there was obviously no trace of human activity.Everyone found the cement shed where the cement was placed on the construction site. When they opened the haystacks, they saw generations of cement piled up higher than a person. Because of the shed, the bags were still intact.

Yan Fei jumped out of the car, put on gloves, lifted a bag hard, and put it on the car: "Everyone hurry up and move."

After the words fell, the others also took action.

For the others, two people can carry one bag together, while Zhao Zhiwen, Yan Fei, and Jing Lin can carry one bag alone.And Yan Lu is the fastest, if her palm is not big enough, she can carry a bag with one hand.

After they moved, some people are still moving.Red bricks and cement alone are not enough without sand and gravel.Jing Lin and the others went around, and found several piles of sand like hills, covered with plastic tarpaulins. After months of wind and sun, the tarpaulins had rotted and would break if pulled. .

Because of the accelerated evolution of Morning Glory, the big guy is also faster than before when transporting cement and sand.Finally, on the day before the Chinese New Year, the needed cement and sand were transported back.

After dinner in the evening, Zhou Yu brought out a large iron basin, which contained a packed rooster and more than ten catties of fresh pork, which were exchanged for grain from Wang Junda's house.In the village this year, his family slaughtered the pigs. Because they were in a hurry, almost all the men in the village followed into the county town. They were not there during the day, and the old people in the village who were not very good at killing pigs were invited to let a group of women hold the pigs. It was killed, and the shaving and cutting were all done by them. People in the village replaced some of the pig's meat.

All these in the iron basin were prepared for Jing Lin, he was so busy transporting things back that he had no spare time to prepare.

Zhou Yu said: "It's a pity that there are no fish this year." Since a few mutated mullets and big crabs were caught in her family's fish pond, nothing has been picked up again, and that kind of thing happened again later. thought about it.

It's not that they like to eat fish. People in Huaguo pay attention to having more than enough every year during the Chinese New Year. Without fish, they always feel that something is missing.

So Jing Lin took the oil lamp and asked Zhao Zhiwen to go to the lotus pond.From a distance away, Jing Lin used his spiritual sense to communicate with the big mullet, and asked if he could give him some fish to eat.There are not many fish in the lotus pond, and they all ran into the lotus pond through the paddy fields in summer along the water flow ditches. Many of them died before, and I don’t know if there are still any.

Hearing this, the big mullet snorted coldly and said, "Begging a fish for food, don't you think your life is too long?"

Jing Lin couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you a dragon?"

The big mullet froze, and then threw out more than a dozen fish. Even though they were separated by a long distance, they were accurately thrown to Jing Lin's feet. The big mullet said impatiently, "If you want to eat, take it away."

The fish that were thrown out were quite big, and their vitality was quite tenacious. After being thrown to the ground so roughly, they were still alive and their tails were still moving.Jing Lin pulled out a few grass stalks to string the fish up, and then asked, "Are they as intelligent as you?"

The big mullet was a little angry: "They are all stupid fish that can't open their wits, can they be compared with me?"

Jing Lin explained: "Ask casually, there is no other meaning, after all, you are the same kind."

The big mullet now remembered: "I am a dragon!"

"Okay, you are a dragon." Jing Lin was helpless, seeing that it was getting late, he had to go to bed early tonight, and he would still be busy when he got up early tomorrow morning, so he said goodbye to the big mullet, and went back with Zhao Zhiwen with the fish After that, the fish was divided, and Yan Fei's family also had a share, which happened to be a family of five fish.
