Waves of heat seemed to emerge from the ground. Even if it was so hot that the whole body was dizzy and sweating, people dared not take off their clothes.The woods at night are full of dangers, even a thin layer of fabric can give people a sense of security.

Yao Ziqing opened the lunch box, looked at the bitter gourd in the bowl and turned his head silently.Seeing this, Lei Xiao paused for a moment with his chopsticks, then transferred a few slices of beef from his own bowl to his bowl, and pulled out all the bitter gourds.

Lei Li saw Si'er on the side and knocked on Si'er's head: "Don't be picky eaters! The anger is heavy in hot weather, eating bitter melon will relieve the fire!"

Yao Ziqing shook his head and began to eat rice.Because we are looking for water sources, it is impossible to go back to eat halfway. Basically, we bring a copy with us, so we must pay attention to it outside.There is roast beef with potatoes in the lunch box, but there are more potatoes and less beef. Anyway, if you can’t eat enough, you can still eat it when you go home.

There was stir-fried cucumber in the bowl, originally there was ham sausage in it, but when it came out, Lei Li left all the ham sausage to Ma Xin.Ma Xin loves to eat, and it's better not to eat outside.Yao Ziqing despises this wife slave very much. He probably will be a child slave in the future. It is really hopeless.

Those who came out to look for water sources were divided into three teams and searched together in three directions, but they were all scattered. Although the whole family was still together, some young and strong people had some old and weak inside them. All broke up.

Yao Ziqing felt that doing this must be because he was worried that his village would be united, and he was unwilling to share the water source when he found it.

There are many people, and they are from different villages. Although they basically know some of them, there have been many outsiders in the past two years, and many of them are quite unfamiliar now.Moreover, most young people don't know each other even in the village. These days, they are not as close as the older generation. It's like there are too many high-rise buildings. After living for a long time, they don't even know who lives in the opposite door.

It is only during the intermission that everyone will sit and chat together, and then look at what other people are eating.If you eat poorly, you will hide away. If you eat well, you will naturally be more proud. It is somewhat vain to show off, although it is meaningless to show off now.Just like there are some people who will hide it, such as Lei Xiao's family, but they don't want to be ashamed if they don't have it at home.

This time Lei Zheng didn't come, it was Lei Lin who came.Now sitting next to Lei Li and eating the rice in his own bowl, half rice, half sweet potato, and some pickles, but that's it, the food is pretty good.

Lei Li gave all the meat in his bowl to Lei Lin. Leylin smiled and did not refuse, and took out jicama wrapped in cloth from one side of the bag. It is not good to eat too much of this kind of food, but a small amount is better It can be eaten as a fruit, and it can quench thirst if there is a lot of water.

He came out with a whole jicama, all sliced ​​and sliced, and a few slices were probably enough for everyone to eat after dinner.Someone next to him licked his lips when he saw it: "Jicama is so difficult to grow now, it needs a lot of water, right?"

Leylin smiled: "There were some interplanted before, not many, and now it must not be able to grow, mainly because I haven't eaten fruit for many years, and I happened to have some seeds at home, so I planted them, but they didn't grow well. But it can be regarded as growing a little.”

Yao Ziqing silently gnawed on a piece of jelly. Lei Lin used to be an honest child, and would blush when talking to others, but now the lie is as true as the truth. Haven't eaten fruit for a few years?He ate the whole big watermelon last Monday!

Some people who are gnawing pancakes can't stop the envy in their eyes when they look at them. Although they are not from Leijia Village, they also know that these people are capable. Come back, I heard that they once hunted big bison.

I was very happy when I was assigned to a group with them, which greatly improved the safety, but now I am mostly depressed, watching others eat so well all day long, and I can only eat things like corn buns. It was torture!

After a short rest after the meal, everyone started the long journey to find water again.

The search for water sources has not been smooth these days, and the plants in many places have basically died. It doesn't take much to know that even the wells in the vicinity can't get water.There is no detector now, so we can only judge based on some experience.Check to see if the surrounding soil is moist, or if there is something like moss under the stone.But obviously, there is still no progress in searching for water sources for nearly half a month.

In the past half month, the water in the reservoir has dried up, leaving only some thin mud, or small puddles mixed with dirty mud.There are still fish in the reservoir, but now the water is so dry, some fish are breathing desperately in the puddle with their mouths wide open, struggling to die.

There are many people who go down to the reservoir to catch fish, no matter how big or small, they are all meat.Leijia Village was a bit slow to get the news. After the hordes went to the reservoir, there were not many left, and almost all the big fish were caught.

Lei Li and his family didn't care about the size, they started catching fish with a bucket, and there was half a bucket of water in the bucket, and the vitality of those fish was quite tenacious, and they jumped up and down again soon after they got into the water.

Some villagers were beside them and said regretfully: "There is no water now, otherwise these fish can be raised, and they can be exchanged for more food if they grow bigger!"

"Our place is not close to the sea. These aquatic products have always been popular. Now we should try our best to catch the big ones. The small ones can't be raised, and it's expensive and troublesome to get them!"

Some children joyfully follow the adults to catch fish, but there are still some places in the reservoir where the puddles are relatively deep, but the water is too turbid to drink at all.These children started to play in the water, and they were all muddy and dirty.

Some adults turned around and saw their children turned into mud babies, and immediately became angry: "You little bastard, why don't you come over and help pick up the fish! You played with mud all over your body and now there is no water to wash it! Don't worry about being dirty!" If you play in the water, sleep outside the house, and you are not allowed to enter the house!"

Some people started to persuade: "Children, it's rare to play happily for a while, the dirt is dirty, let them play, these days are also hard for these children, I think when we were young, we always went to swim in the reservoir , Those grown-ups just sat on the edge fishing, sometimes the fish was about to be hooked, and they were confused by us naughty boys, and then they stood on the shore and cursed angrily. Now that I think about it, I was really happy at that time..."

"No! Alas, back then, I used to climb trees to dig out bird eggs, and then a group of friends dug a hole and burned the fire to roast the eggs. When I got home, I found that my clothes were all hung by the tree. Beat!"

These people are all from the same age, and they recall endlessly, and they feel sad and want to cry as they talk.Life back then was really happy, but at that time, I felt that life in the countryside was miserable, and how could people in the city enjoy happiness and comfort.But looking back now, even the scorching sun at that time was so happy that people couldn't help but want to cry.

Yao Ziqing has never experienced that kind of fishing in the river. At most, he followed his second brother to the mountains to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables and sell them in the town.He also knows that the less he has, the more he will think about the past.Only after experiencing it can we know the pain that can only be found in the memory of past happiness.

That's why after rebirth, he cherished the rare and precious comeback so much.Every day after his rebirth really moved him so much that he wanted to cry.The hunger in the calamity year is terrible, and what is even more terrible is the despair in my heart that cannot return to the past.

Lei Li looked at the nearly 20 fish in the bucket and saw that there were not many left, so he called Lei Lang and Yao Ziqing to go home.When I got home, I changed the water mixed with mud in the bucket and put it in a big wooden basin. The fish had more space, and the water was cleaner and fresher, so they could swim more freely.It is estimated that the temperature is too high, and there is some lack of oxygen, so I keep surfacing to the surface of the water and spitting bubbles.

Lei Lang squatted beside him, picked some grass from the yard to tease the fish in the water, and said, "Why don't we build a water tank in the greenhouse on the third floor, anyway, the space above is quite large, enough to raise dozens of fish "

Ma Chen thinks this proposal is good, this fish is quite small, it is not worth eating, and it is quite difficult to get live fish now, and last time I saw that there is still a lot of lime powder in the barn, it is not a bad idea to find some bricks to repair a tank What a difficult thing.

Yao Ziqing nodded: "Let's fix it. Fish is good for pregnant women and children. Isn't it said that eating too much fish is very smart? Our family raises fish. When the baby is born, there will be fish every day. How smart is that! "

For the sake of his wife and unborn child, Lei Li kept going to the cellar to move out some bricks.Yao Ziqing also went down with him, mainly because he stored more bricks in his space, fearing that there would not be enough in the cellar.It is not troublesome to build a sink, just need a water outlet below.Fortunately, when the house was first built, it took a long time to build vigorously, even if I saw it, I got acquainted with it.

Fang Jinlei and Ma Chen both came to help, and a medium-sized tank measuring five or six meters long and nearly three meters wide was ready in a day. Anyway, there are many days during the day, so there is no need to worry about ultraviolet rays in the greenhouse on the third floor. After the cement is dry, put the fish in and raise them.In this way, those raised at home do not have to worry about hygiene problems.

There are a lot of sea fish in Yao Ziqing's space, and every day he will take out one or two for Ma Xin to eat alone.It's not that you are stingy and hide it from others, but it's mainly because if you eat one a day, the source is hard to explain.Now Ma Xin is the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, and she can be regarded as her own family.Well, to put it bluntly, some things at home are more or less hidden from Li Wenshan.

First of all, they were not familiar with each other, and it wasn't the kind of relationship that they grew up with.The second is that she will be married in the future. After marriage, she will have her own family. It is inevitable that she will have some other thoughts about the family. Of course, it is impossible for her to know too much about some things.

And when no one expected it, Song Feng came to propose marriage just like that.Seeing that although Li Wenshan was surprised, she didn't seem to refuse. It is estimated that the two have already met each other.

Having played a few games of poker, I know him more or less.Moreover, he has a skill, and now he has even learned how to farm, and he thinks his life will not be too bad in the future.And it's in the village again, as long as Li Wenshan is safe enough in the village not to be a white-eyed wolf, Lei Xiao and the others will help out to some extent on weekdays.

Ma Xin still likes Li Wenshan very much. This girl has a very good nature, and she is very contented and repaying her kindness. After living for so long, she naturally has some feelings. Seeing her, she agreed to marry Song Feng just like that, but she was still a little worried: "You When did you and Song Feng fall in love? It really didn't come out at all, and we only knew each other for a month, why don't you keep watching?"

Regarding Ma Xin's kindness, Li Wenshan smiled and said: "I know, he is very kind. I think it's a matter of fate. Sometimes it's good to see the right person, and he will live in the village in the future. If he is right I'm not good, isn't there still my mother's family here?"

When Ma Xin thought about it, that was indeed the case. They all lived in the village. With the brothers from the Lei family, if Song Feng treated Li Wenshan badly, he probably wouldn't have the guts, unless he didn't want to stay in the village.If the world recovers in the future, Song Feng can go back to be a doctor, and Li Wenshan is also beautiful, she can be regarded as a man of talent and a woman's appearance.

So the whole village was jubilant, and Lao Lei's family was going to have a happy event again, which meant that there was meat to eat!
