The farmer in the last days [farming]

In March, the weather is gradually warming up, and the snow on the streets is slowly melting.

Nothing to do Lin Xi looked at the calendar and found that today is the vernal equinox. Spring is here, and sowing is also on the agenda. Affected by the weather in the north, the seeds will be planted between April and May.

It just so happened that today Jian Qi and Ren Ya went to the hospital in the city center to look for medical equipment. Lin Xi had a quick bite to eat, and planned to go to the agricultural machinery market to find some handy tools to reclaim the open space downstairs.

I went out in a small truck, and the agricultural machinery market was not very far from Happy Homeland, but there were many obstacles on the road, and some roads were impassable at all, and they walked for an hour on a road that took only 10 minutes to go around.

Lin Xi thought that when the planting was done, the next thing would be to clean up the streets.

When I was at the base before, I planted the fields with everyone, but Lin Xi still had a little knowledge, so he took the tools and fertilizers as mentioned in the book he found in the mall, although he didn't know if these fertilizers could be used.

Lin Xi went to the store where he bought the seeds before, and found a lot of seeds in the warehouse behind the store. Some of the seed bags were bitten by mice, leaving only an empty bag and scattered seeds on the ground. Lin Xi moved all the well-stored seeds to his small truck.

The seeds I found this time are of all kinds, basically all kinds of vegetables. Lin Xi plans to plant some of them on his own land, and bring the rest to Liu Bing's farm. There is a piece of farmland near the farm. , and it has been reclaimed.

But with such a heavy workload, I'm afraid everyone will have to work together. Lin Xi plans to find some time to talk to Chen Jing and the others about this matter.

Returning with a full load, Lin Xi drove the heavy car home slowly.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the community, I met two people who had just returned from the city center. They also returned with a full load, bringing back a lot of hospital equipment and a letter?

Lin Xi glanced at the envelope in his hand, then at the two people in front of him, who blinked their eyes innocently.

Ren Ya introduced the source of this letter: "When we arrived at the hospital, we always felt that someone was following us, and then we found this letter."

After speaking, she tilted her head and thought about it, then nodded affirmatively: "That's right, that's it." Jian Qi also nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi asked helplessly, "Didn't you open it and take a look?"

"not interested."

Lin Xi put the letter into Xu Ze's pocket, and said to the two, "Come and eat later."

The two were keen on eating, and after they separated, the four continued their work.

After Jian Qi and Ren Ya settled in the community, they went to the building material market several times, brought back some solar panels and put them in the building where they lived.

The medical equipment brought back this time is also placed in this building. It is placed on the first floor. The first floor is a simple house. There is no furniture and nothing in it, but it is suitable for storing these things.

Without Lin Xi's hands, Xu Ze moved the things from the car and put them in his own warehouse. Now life is getting more and more comfortable. Lin Xi leaned next to the car and watched Xu Ze move things.

Lin Xi walked over to move things with Xu Ze, but doing things together is fun.

It was still early, and Lin Xi was not in a hurry to cook, so he took out the letter and read it, and he probably knew what it meant.

There were still survivors in the city center. The survivors saw the fire that day and knew the fate of that group of people, but they were a little afraid that Lin Xi and the others were the second such group.

So I wrote such a letter, hoping to coexist peacefully, and attach an address to find them.

Lin Xi was somewhat puzzled, why did everyone think that they might be such people, such doubts were not answered by Jian Qi until dinner.

"It's normal." Jian Qi said after listening to Lin Xi's words: "People always have a sense of submission, and submit to things that are stronger than themselves."

"I really wish I hadn't told you that there were people who wanted to resist them in the city center before, but they were not united enough, and one or two ended up lying in a pile of people." Jian Qi was very calm when he said these words .

Lin Xi understood that a few months ago, everyone was still living in a society ruled by law. They were afraid of death, injury and thugs from the bottom of their hearts. Not everyone dared to resist and fight for it.

"Are you going tomorrow?" Ren Ya asked.

Lin Xi replied without much hesitation: "Go."

Lin Xi thought a long time ago what should he do if there are more than one living people in this city, whether to crowd out or not to interfere?

In the end, Lin Xi still wanted everyone to live in peace. He had a great plan in his heart, and such a great plan could not be achieved by relying on them alone.

Maybe now we can still rely on rainwater and snowwater to maintain water intake. What should we do if we wait until the drought year? At that time, we must consider how to mobilize the city's water supply system.

Now I live a life without worrying about eating and drinking, but people always have to plan ahead, and it is impossible to be satisfied with the food on the plate for a lifetime.

Before going to bed, Lin Xi was still thinking that he might not be kind enough, and he should take Chen Jing with him tomorrow.

The next day was a sunny day, and it was past nine o'clock after breakfast. The four of them first went to Chen Jing's house to explain the incident. Chen Jing was still looking forward to the other survivors. After tidying up the children, they went out together.

Because we are too far away from Liu Bing, we plan to talk to Liu Bing when we go there in a few days.

Lin Xi was not very familiar with the address written on it. Jian Qi used to work in the city center and was very familiar with the streets. Following Jian Qi's instructions, several cars turned left and right and stopped in front of a convenience store.

Lin Xi took Xu Ze out of the car first, but he didn't go in and just waited outside the door.This convenience store is obviously inhabited by someone, and the surroundings are obviously carefully arranged.I don't know if it is a reflective cloth pasted on the door, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside.

As soon as Lin Xi stood by the car, he saw the door of the convenience store in front of him slightly open a gap.

The scene was a bit stalemate, the people in the room did not dare to come out, nor did they dare to go in easily.

Chen Jing came out from behind Lin Xi, and Li Jiaming walked in front of her. Her son followed her like a little tail, and the atmosphere of the family eased as soon as they appeared.

Chen Jing's voice was still gentle: "Hello, is anyone there?"

A little girl who looked seventeen or eighteen quietly revealed her head, watching the people outside the door vigilantly.

It should be the person behind who patted the little girl, the little girl shrank her head back, and gently pushed the door open with a hand full of signs of time.

An old man.

Except for Lin Xi, everyone was a little surprised. No one would have thought that such a letter would be written by an old man.

Lin Xi didn't think it was a surprise, he was able to write such a letter with awareness and expectation.

Lin Xi smiled slightly and asked, "Can we go in and talk?"

The old man pushed open the door and held out his hand to invite them in.

After entering, I saw that besides the little girl just now, there were several children younger than her in the room. The shelves in the convenience store were pushed aside, and there were still some unfinished snacks on the shelves, but there were no leftovers. how much.

Layers of quilts were laid on the sponge pads on the ground. It is not difficult to see that they had a hard time this winter.

"When I heard the gunshots that night, I felt that something was going to happen." The old man spoke first: "Then I saw the fire you lit..."

"I'm old, so there's nothing to worry about. It's just that the children are still young, and I want them to live longer." The old man explained the intention of the letter in a few words.

This group of children did not look like the children of the old man, but rather they seemed to have been taken in by the old man.

After hearing the old man finish speaking, Lin Xi asked, "Old man, how many survivors are there in the urban area?"

"Thousands of people." A small voice cut in, and then added, "I heard what Teacher Xu said..."

There are only a few thousand people left in a city. The number of people is small, but there are benefits to being few.The advantage is that if everyone is not curious, they may not meet the second person until they die.

Lin Xi knew that many people should have seen the fire they set, and asked the old man: "Everyone in the urban area will be in touch with each other, right?"

The old man nodded, and Lin Xi patted Xu Ze, motioning for him to take everything off the car.Before coming here, Lin Xi packed some fast food in the car that can be eaten without electricity.

"Please also tell everyone in the city that we have no malicious intentions. If possible, maybe we can do something together." Lin Xi said tactfully.

Hearing this, the old man smiled slowly and said, "You are exactly what Teacher Xu said."

"He said that everyone should work together so that we can solve the problem."

"Can I meet him? If possible, meet here in three days."

If possible, farming will have a good helper.
