"Boss, the lake has receded a lot recently, and the river beaches that were submerged have been exposed. We want to collect some river firewood, and some mussels and loaches. Do you think it's okay?" The captain asked for instructions.

"Wait another day. Today I will take Banban back. Tomorrow, let Banban stay here to protect everyone. You go to collect firewood." Xiao Dingnan pondered.They really lack dry firewood, and it takes several days to dry the cut branches. With so many people eating and drinking water every day, they have to prepare for what to do in case of rain. necessary.At this time, the benefits of a tolerant and tolerant leader can be reflected. If the leader is willing to delegate power, the people below will naturally actively offer suggestions and ideas.

"Yes! Safety first! When Banban is not around, everyone should be more vigilant when patrolling. Although there are animals watching outside, it's better to be on the safe side. After all, the ones left now are old and weak women and children." Liu Mengmei nodded. .

"That's it, let's try to go early and return early." Xiao Dingnan and Chen Yifei stood up and set off with Ban Ban after saying that. In the backpacks on their backs were the dry food and water stuffed by the fat chef.

Because they had Scabbers with them, they couldn't walk through the dense jungle, so they simply walked along a ditch that had been washed out during the flood, although they took a detour, but because of Scabbers, sitting on it was much faster. few.

"It's really as if the earth has been cut into a deep ditch by a big knife..." Xiao Dingnan couldn't help sighing while looking up at the mountain wall tens of meters high above his head during the break.After the end of the world, it probably encountered an earthquake first, and then there was a flash flood. The huge impact of the flood completely washed away the rocks that had been loosened by the earthquake, and followed the trend of the ground fissure, washing out the current deep road. The deep ravines and jagged rocks are terrifying.

"We are still alive in such a catastrophe, which means we are lucky." Chen Yifei smiled.

"Yeah, we're lucky..." Xiao Dingnan no longer dared to look at it, nor did he dare to think about what was going on in the outside world. He was just an ordinary person with no abilities. World peace and the survival of mankind were too far away from him. Far away, he was already racking his brains to make these people around him live well.If it was before, he wouldn't mind taking in more people who escaped during the catastrophe, but now, he even secretly prayed in his heart: Don't let anyone come again!Their food is almost running out, and they can only survive by hunting and fishing. If people come, they can only eat dirt...

Although it took a long detour, it happened to allow them to go directly behind the hillside where the herd of goats lived.

"What's next?"

"Don't move for now. Tonight, I will go to the mountain to set up the trap. Tomorrow, I will let Banban and other animals lie in ambush below. When the goats come out to drink water, I will rush out and pretend to kill them. I have observed that the goats are frightened. I habitually run up the mountain. My current vines can spread up to about 1000 square meters. As long as those goats enter my encirclement, they will basically be unable to escape. Well, just kill it and take it back to eat meat."

"Are you trying to kill them all?"

"Who made us poor?" Chen Yifei pouted, he didn't want to, people were forced out.If he is merciful at this moment, the whole family will go hungry.

Banban has been very experienced in hunting since he became the boss. After receiving the task, he pointed out on the spot and let the prairie wolf and a few tigers and leopards who followed him go to familiarize themselves with the terrain and go hunting by the way. Boss, he has always been only responsible for enslaving his subordinates, not responsible for paying wages and managing meals. The animals under him are also very conscious of hunting by themselves, and sometimes they take the initiative to send them to the big kitchen when they can't finish eating.In this regard, the fat chef was a little scared at first, but later he got used to it, and he got along very well with these beasts, or he used his own brush to brush the fur of these animals, it was amazing!

The faint melancholy was instantly crushed by the pressure of survival, Xiao Dingnan joined the encirclement and suppression army with a sense of current affairs...

I have to say that this group of goats is really unlucky and lucky. Unfortunately, early in the morning, it was a sunny day. They wandered out to drink water as usual, and were about to graze after drinking water. Unexpectedly, a group of ferocious beasts suddenly rushed out of the slanting stab!The goats were panicked, and hurriedly fled up the mountain along the accustomed path, and they could slip into the bushes!

The accident happened suddenly. The bushes that are usually suitable for hiding, for some reason, suddenly stretched out countless vines, tightly tying up these unsuspecting goats. In the panic, dozens of goats were lucky to escape. But soon, the bound goats were very glad that they didn't break free from the vines, because the few goats that escaped were all bitten off by the fierce beasts guarding the side, which was extremely cruel!

The timid goats trembled and were packed in net bags woven by vines, and they were carried to Xiao Dingnan's temporary station. In the station, a simple sheepfold was made for these goats early in the morning. The grassland is surrounded by an area of ​​about 100 square meters. A simple straw shed was built on the side for fear of rain.

The fresh grass and sweet spring water slightly soothed the little hearts of these goats, but soon, several female goats that were milking were mistreated: they were ruthlessly pulled out by several resident sheep who had raised sheep in the village. milked.

The fierce beast that can bite off the goat's neck in one bite is still standing by the side, and the ewes are so frightened that they can hardly even squeeze out the milk. The cat called away.

Barely squeezed about half a bucket of goat milk, the fat chef immediately used the materials at hand, boiled to remove the smell, and made a bowl of hot and fragrant goat milk. When it was brought to Xiao Dingnan's room, the goat milk was just warm enough to eat. Xu Shi smelled the long-lost milk scent, and Ah Fu raised his head impatiently, looking at the stainless steel bowl in the fat chef's hand with a salivating face.

"Hey~~ Eat it!" The fat chef was not good at words, handed over the goat milk in his hand, and looked at Ah Fu cheerfully.

Ah Fu is still in the stage of molluscs, and has not activated his crawling skills yet, so he can only lie in Xiao Dingnan's arms and yell "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" when he sees this.

"Wait, Dad will pour milk into the bottle for you before you drink." Xiao Dingnan took out a clean feeding bottle from a large sunken rock beside the bed, quickly poured warm goat's milk into it, and plugged the nipple After entering, Ah Fu couldn't wait to suck it up. After a while, he drank most of the goat's milk and smacked his lips reluctantly after eating. Xiao Dingnan reached out to touch it, and his belly was bulging.

"Hey~~ The little guy has a good appetite! It's almost six months?"

"Ten days to six months."

"Sitting and crawling, look at this small body, we will be able to sit up soon." The fat chef happily touched A Fu's chubby calves. This little chubby man is very afraid of heat. , with a bellyband on her body and a diaper wrapped around her body, she looks like a Michelin baby, very cute.

"Uncle Fat, why are you so familiar with children's affairs?" Xiao Dingnan regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, because he saw the deep sadness that Uncle Fat couldn't conceal on his face.

"I used to have a daughter who was very beautiful. At that time, I was busy with work every day. When I came home every night, my daughter was asleep. In the morning, she hadn't woken up, so I left. Later, when the earthquake... ...Sigh! What I regret most in my life is that I didn't play well with my daughter. You are blessed to be the head of the family. You must grow up with Ah Fu well. Children's childhood is really short. I don't know what It's time to grow up."

"Well, I will." Not knowing how to comfort him, Xiao Dingnan could only respond dryly.

After playing with the lovely Ah Fu for a while, the fat chef had to go back to cook. Before leaving, he also agreed to stew four meals of goat milk for Ah Fu every day.

The fat chef didn't waste the leftover goat's milk. He used it to make cheese and milk slices and saved it, and gave a little to the children in the base every day. It was also a rare calcium supplement.

After discovering that these humans didn't want to eat them, but just wanted to get goat milk, within a few days, these nervous goats were taken care of by the people at the base with peace of mind. They squatted in the sheep pen to eat and drink every day, and each one became fat a big circle.

After getting acquainted with these goats, plucking the wool became the favorite thing for several old people who were responsible for herding sheep. Knit sweaters for the little ones in the future.In fact, they didn't have to do this. They had to go hunting every day in the base, and they collected a lot of furs. However, after they were really free, these people discovered that doing nothing every day is really a particularly scary thing, especially in the dead of night. , as if they were the only people left in the whole world, that kind of overwhelming loneliness, even if you are not a literary youth, you can deeply feel this kind of loneliness.Therefore, "find something to do" has become the most willing thing for the left-behind personnel in the base to communicate with.In particular, they are now living in the poor and middle-class peasants who are poor and white. They lack almost everything. The pressure of survival has given rise to the speed of everyone lighting up new skills. According to the information Xiao Dingnan got from animals, these left-behind people have developed skills such as making bamboo Wooden bowls and chopsticks, making stone pots and pots, firing pottery pots and many other new skills, and some people even began to try to use discarded bark to make paper, although the paper produced so far can only be used as toilet paper...

The most awesome ones are Wang Cuiqin and Zhang Rujiao's mother and daughter. These two people found some tussah silkworms somewhere, and they have already found someone to transplant some oak trees and some tussah silkworms. They vowed to raise silkworm cocoons and let the base people can wear silk clothes.It's not that they are extravagant, it's true that before cotton seeds were found, silk was the only raw material they could use to make clothes...

Caterpillar-like tussah silkworms crawled on the treetops, and they couldn’t help but want to pick them up. In order to distract the cats’ attention and protect the silkworm babies, Wang Cuiqin and Zhang Rujiao had to do it again. Using the collected pheasant feathers, they made a colorful and beautiful takraw ball decorated with feathers for Banban and Little Ear.

Playing with the ball, Banban immediately forgot about the baby silkworms, and happily rolled the takraw ball from the hillside to the foot of the mountain. Little Ears excitedly followed behind Banban's buttocks, crushing countless bushes along the way, which saved a lot of work for the latter. Followed Ban Ban and Xiao Er's butt to pick up the bargain.

With the arrival of the appointed time, teams that went out to search have come back one after another. Little Ears was the first group to follow. This team was not very lucky. They only brought back the news of finding tussah silkworms. There was no big water source along the way. It was discovered, but they discovered a wild chestnut grove, which has not yet matured due to the season, and when it matures, they will have fresh chestnuts to eat!If there is no food, chestnuts can be ground into powder, and chestnut cakes can also be made~

After Chen Yifei sent the goats back, he immediately went back to join the other team members non-stop. He hasn't come back yet. In the evening, "Luck King" Zhang Guangshui came back, and brought back good news: We found A large cornfield~~

As expected of the "Luck King" of the base, Zhang Guangshui led the team along the way for two days, and unexpectedly found a large piece of ripe and unharvested corn in a mountainous area that was clearly reclaimed before the end of the world!Although a lot was lost due to heavy snow and heavy rain, but because of the large planting area, there are still a lot of edible corn cobs left. They stopped on the spot and broke off thousands of mature corn cobs. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't take it with them, they really wanted to break off all those corn cobs and take them away!

"Xiao Nan, I guess that the reason why so many corns are planted there, and they are planted in patches, is not for sale. The logistics cost is not low when transported down the mountain road, so, I guess, it should be because there is a breeding base nearby or something. Yes, a large amount of corn is needed. Under normal circumstances, such farmers will contract some wasteland nearby and directly plant corn for their own use. In this way, on the one hand, the cost of purchasing feed is saved, and on the other hand, logistics costs are also saved.”

"so?"

"So, what I mean is, when other people come back, let's bring more people there! There is a large area of ​​mountainous land suitable for planting, and it is all reclaimed ripe land. If there happens to be a large water source now, we might as well move directly. In the past! I have seen it, the hillside faces south, the location is particularly good, and most importantly, there seems to be a village under the mountain, and we can also go down to collect some living materials."

"Good! This news is really great! Brother Shui, you are so lucky!" Xiao Dingnan was extremely envious.

"Hehe~~ Let's just say this first, I will take people to send the corn over there first, oh my elm head! If we really move there, why did we bring so much corn back all the way? Carry it back?" Zhang Guangshui's face turned dark immediately.

"Haha~~ Brother Shui, no one, the others haven't come back yet. Besides, these corns seem to be a lot. After removing the cob, it is estimated to be only a few hundred catties, and then ground into corn flour. With so many of us, it will probably be soon I finished eating, and made the rest into cornbread, just to keep as dry food on the road.”

"That's right! Then I'll go to work!" Zhang Guangshui left happily. He was the happiest to bring back so many corn cobs. The reason is simple: the twins are growing up, and eating meat alone is not enough. If you can't eat decent food, it is very bad for the development of children.As a father, you can't give other good things, so you can't make your child hungry, right?

The fat chef is the second happy person besides Xiao Dingnan. With decent food, the chef can play more. He urges everyone to help pull the skin off the corn cobs, rub the grains, and grind them. The flour was sifted through a coarse sieve made by themselves. With a large number of people and strong strength, a bag of bright yellow cornmeal was quickly produced.

Even though dinner was postponed for an hour, everyone finally ate hot cornmeal pancakes and corn gnocchi, and everyone was so excited that they almost burst into tears: Mo Dan ~ Finally got food!
