The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

It's not difficult to handle live pigs, you'll get used to it a few times, at most it's just a process of getting used to it when you get started.

Lei Lang took the pig's blood in a big basin, waited until the pig was out of breath, and then disemboweled the pig's belly and dealt with the internal organs and other things.Yao Ziqing had never seen it before, but he didn't want to watch the process either. It wasn't because he was afraid, but he was worried that it would affect his appetite when he saw the internal organs and other things.

The rice that was exchanged was provided by Lei Zheng's family first, and then he would exchange the rice with him for the amount of meat he wanted.Pig's blood is a good thing, Lei Li and his family took away half of the pot of pig's blood.The rest was divided among the other people, and Lei Zheng and his family only had enough for a meal.

Although Yao Ziqing's family is not greedy for meat, Grandma Fresh Pork still cooks a plate of braised pork herself.The deep red braised pork is shiny, trembling, and melts in the mouth.One bite, the gravy is overflowing, and the mouth is full of fragrance.Thick and thick, oily but not greasy.There are three hundred kinds of delicacies, nothing compares to a plate of braised pork.

Xiaowu ate it for one yuan or three or two, and continued to look at you eagerly after he licked his mouth.Yao Ziqing simply threw most of the dishes into its dog bowl, still feeling emotional: "What a happy little five, thanks to you being raised in our house, otherwise there would be nowhere to eat your braised pork now, and I would be lucky if I didn't turn into braised dog meat Already!"

Lei Lang's mouth was full of chatter, although their family had no shortage of food, but the aroma of some dishes would waft far away, so it was hard to guarantee that other people's houses would not be able to smell it.There are a lot of ready-made delicacies stored in the Si'er space, but none of them are as delicious as grandma's.Now the whole village knows that their family has replaced a pig, and it is not an exaggeration to make some braised pork.

"So full! Comfortable! I haven't eaten so much for a long time!" After finishing speaking, he burped.

Lei Li looked at him as if his family was thirsty for him: "Are you going to town today?"

"Don't go, the sales are quite stable, and there are only a few stalls. There are quite a lot of people who come to join in the fun, but there are not many who can really afford it. It's useless for us to go!"

Lei Lang wrapped the eaten bowls and chopsticks in a disposable tablecloth and put them in the fire room, and Si'er would collect them when the time came.Since the lack of water resources in their family, they have basically used disposable bowls and chopsticks, and they don't throw them around, and they are all taken away by Si'er.Otherwise, there is no water to wash dishes like this every day.

Hearing that they didn't plan to go out, Lei Li directly grabbed the labor force: "Then let's get rid of the insects together, the vegetables grown in the fields will be destroyed by the mole crickets recently!"

There are some things planted in their yard and the greenhouse on the top floor, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes and cucumbers, which are easier to feed.Although it is very hot, there is still plenty of water in their house.I don't know how much water Si'er has stored in the space. Since he said not to waste it and use what should be used, then naturally he will give what should be given to grow vegetables.

But there are too many mole crickets in this kind of vegetable field, and it is a disaster.Originally, this kind of insects are most active in May and June, especially hot, and they all emerge from the soil at night.

Yao Ziqing knew about this kind of thing. In his last life, there were about three or four mole crickets in a string, and half a bean cake was exchanged.This thing is fried casually and sprinkled with some salt. If conditions permit, a little chili powder will be added to make it sell faster.

Seeing the second brother holding a pair of short iron pliers and quickly catching four or five of them in the vegetable field in the yard, Yao Ziqing suddenly thought of a very serious question: "Second brother!"

Lei Xiao put the mole crickets that had been stabbed to death into a small plastic bucket next to him, looked back at Si'er, saw that he looked a little unhappy, and slightly frowned: "What's wrong?"

Yao Ziqing squatted next to the second brother and asked in a low voice: "Do you think there will be a plague of locusts? Now that the insects are multiplying so fast, where are the locusts?"

It is not without reason that locusts are born in extreme droughts, and locusts are bound to emerge after prolonged droughts.And the last life was also this month, it seemed that the provinces and cities on their side had been ransacked by locusts.It's just that he doesn't know the specific day.Now looking at the mole crickets that have become a disaster, I naturally think of locusts!

"Well, the corn stalks are almost dry, so I'll collect them tomorrow."

Yao Ziqing's black line, where are the sun-dried corn stalks, they are obviously planted corn, but they have dried up, leaving only yellow stalks.But it’s okay to take it back, locusts don’t care about you, they will never let go of those who can eat or bite, or if there are locusts passing through the border, they will not stay.

Mu Bai came back from southern Xinjiang, they were suffering from floods, and they were completely two extremes with their death from dryness and thirst.The things I brought were very popular, and I got back a lot of hot-selling items, especially fruits.Even if it is expensive to drag it to the market, it will be robbed by people.This trip can be said to be a big profit.

Hearing that Fang Jinlei and his family had set up a stall selling fried chicken in the market for several days, he wanted to buy all of Fang Jinlei's leftover chickens.

As soon as he asked this question, Fang Jinlei nodded in agreement.Although you can get a lot of information by setting up a stall in the market every day, the income from selling whole chickens is not much different from selling fried chickens.But Si'er told him before that if someone wants to buy all his chickens, don't hesitate to sell them all at a reduced price.

Mu Bai was also very straightforward, and took all of Fang Jinlei's remaining more than 400 chickens according to the previous price.I also plan to go there again in these two days. The temperature is getting hotter and hotter. After a while, I may even have to think about going out at night.

After disposing of all the chickens, Fang Jinlei originally wanted to keep about ten of them, and just kept them like this.If you think it's not working, get rid of it.However, Yao Ziqing asked him to find some eggs that could be hatched, and took away the dozen or so chickens by the way.Fang Jinlei didn't ask him where he took the chickens, seeing that Si'er insisted on disposing of the live poultry, there must be his intentions.

Just when everyone thought it was going to be so hot, it suddenly rained heavily in the middle of the night.A lot of people rummaged through their homes to find toiletries. The man was standing in the yard and started to take a shower in a pair of underpants with big flares.

Originally, Lei Lang and the others were anxious to take a shower in the rain. Although their house was not short of water, this kind of atmosphere could easily make people make a fuss together.

In the end, Yao Ziqing stopped them. As soon as the rain fell, Yao Ziqing dragged them into the house, and each drank a glass of relatively strong spiritual liquid water.He wasn't sure if it was the rain, but after the rain, people in that area fell ill in large numbers.

The rain didn't last long, it only fell in the middle of the night, and even in the middle of the night, all the people in the drought state saw the hope of life.I thought that this dark day would finally usher in the dawn.However, this is only the prelude to a disaster.

In the town and the village, many people had small red spots on their bodies.Because there are many mosquitoes, some people are more poisonous, and it can be said that their bodies are about to be bitten to pieces, which is very scary to look at.At first, no one cared, because mosquitoes would fly into the house on rainy days.

But in the next few days, many people suddenly had a fever and a cold.They all thought they were catching a cold from the rain, but those who were not exposed to the rain that day were also caught.Some people thought that there might be a problem with the rain being too dirty, but after that rain, the temperature became higher, and the little precipitation that fell evaporated all morning.

Now there is no electricity, the hospitals are closed, and only the refugee base has a medical station.Only those who enter the refuge base are eligible to go to the medical station for medical treatment.After a period of renovation and reconstruction, the current refuge base is no longer without barriers to entry. If you want to enter, you need to hand in food or living supplies.

Some people in the town inquired about it. Children under the age of six are exempted from the entrance fee, and all others are calculated on a per-person basis, one thousand catties of grain per person.Some families in the town have only one child. Seeing that the disease is getting worse and worse, they can't wait to die, so many people gritted their teeth and paid food and went to the base just to seek medical treatment.

However, a large number of people entered the base, but no cured cases were reported.Some people just gritted their teeth and survived while locked in the room.Some people spend a lot of material resources to survive, but they still can't resist the call of death.

Many people in the village fell ill, and some had food in their homes, so they let a person bring their children into the base.As for the sick elderly, they basically choose to refuse treatment.Not to mention the hope of healing, people who are about to enter the coffin, and waste this food, it is better to leave it to the younger generation.What's more, there is no news of a cure in the base. If you don't get back your life after paying rice, isn't it not worth the loss.

Seeing that many people in the village have left, the village exposed to the scorching sun looks even more desolate.Even at night, there are no longer groups of people sitting and chatting.Some people in the family are sick, and it is gloomy.Some families were lucky enough to escape the disaster, but they were also afraid of being infected, and they would not go out.

But all of this has nothing to do with Yao Ziqing, anyway, their house is closed.As long as grandma is healthy and brother is healthy, other people have nothing to do with him.

Lei Lang sat down directly on the ground and ate with a plate of chilled tomatoes in his hand. Some sugar was sprinkled on it. It was sweet and cool, which somewhat relieved the heat: "Sier, have another plate!"

Yao Ziqing didn't bother to talk to him, he had already eaten three plates in one afternoon, one plate was as much as a whole tomato, no matter how many chilled tomatoes he had in his space, it was not enough for third brother to eat like this!

"It's gone! You've eaten up everyone's share today!"

Lei Lang made a trip to the ground, turned over and grabbed Xiao Wu's tail: "Poor me, my younger brother will take care of me even if I want to eat something cold, ah... life is so miserable... ah... I want a younger brother Why..."

The mole crickets killed by Lei Xiao are actually not very edible, because they are too dirty because they died directly.Later, Lei Li asked him to catch them alive as much as possible, and Lei Xiao spared the lives of these mole crickets, but they only lived for three or four days at most.

Lei Li put some living mole crickets in a ventilated place, so that after they drained out their feces, they would be scalded to death in boiling hot water, and cleaned up by the way.Remove the internal organs of the limbs and other things, but such a small one is actually quite troublesome to deal with.

But they have nothing to do anyway, so it's good to find something to pass the time.

After cleaning the internal organs, put them directly into the frying pan until golden brown, sprinkle with seasonings, and it is a very delicious dish.

Yao Ziqing saw how meticulous and troublesome the eldest brother handled it, and felt that those who sold fried mole crickets in the previous life must not be like this, they must be like the second brother, directly poked to death, scalded them in boiling water, and then fried them in a frying pan.He had never seen it before, but he had heard people say that it was sold there, and it smelled delicious.

Yao Ziqing thinks that some people are quite self-abuse, and they can't afford it, so just don't pay attention to it.I have to rush to see it eagerly, and I panic after seeing it.Why bother!

After finishing the first batch of fried mole crickets, Lei Li put them on a plate and asked them, "How is it? Do you want to try it? It smells delicious!"

"That's the smell of seasoning, okay? You can fry anything and fry it, and it will smell like this when you put seasoning on it!"

Just as he was talking, Fang Jinlei came in wearing a coir raincoat.Now if you can not go out during the day, you will never go out. If you have to go out for something necessary, you are usually like Fang Jinlei, wearing a coir raincoat and covering your whole body tightly, otherwise you will get sunburned every minute.

When Lei Li saw him, he directly handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Come and taste it, it's just out of the pot, it's fragrant and delicious!"

Yao Ziqing interjected, "That's a mole cricket!"

Fang Jinlei's hand paused slightly, but he still tasted one according to Lei Li's intention.Although this thing looks disgusting, it tastes really good.There is no meat, but it is crispy enough, with ingredients and so on, it can be regarded as a delicacy.

Fang Jinlei nodded to Lei Li: "It's delicious!"

Lei Li smiled loudly, and stuffed a plate into his hand: "Eat more if it tastes good, just eat it as a snack, and there are a lot more, I'll deal with it, and you can take some back later!"

Seeing that it was such a hot day, Yao Ziqing took off his coir raincoat, which was soaked in sweat, and asked in a puzzled way, "Is there anything urgent? The sun hasn't set yet. You're hot. There's water in the bathroom. Go take a shower and change clothes, eat at home at night, grandma also made cold shrimp, eat a bowl after taking a shower."

Fang Jinlei nodded, but did not go directly to the bathroom, but said: "Yes, there are government, army, soldiers, come here, come here!"

Everyone's expressions changed immediately. Under such conditions, it might not be a good thing for someone to come.

Lei Lang was surprised: "How do you know? You don't go to town in broad daylight, do you?"

Fang Jinlei shook his head: "From Li's Village, come and buy eggs."

Lijia Village is relatively close to the town, and Lijia Village is the first place to look for anything, so their news will be more informed than Leijia Village.It's not surprising to say that.

Lei Li frowned slightly when he thought of the news from above: "Didn't you say before that you want to integrate private ownership of land? Isn't that what you're here to implement now?"

After Fang Jinlei told the news, he went to shower and change clothes.It is really uncomfortable to stick to the body with sweaty clothes.For the sake of convenience, Si'er's house also put a few sets of his clothes, no, it came in handy.

Lei Lang scratched his feet, unable to understand: "Why are you making such a fuss? It doesn't matter if they come, let them see what else can be done with this land! What do you want to do, integrate the land? To put it bluntly, it's just to search The people are fat and the people are anointed! Look at it, it’s urgent, even the peasants have to revolt, anyway, this kind of thing has happened before!”

However, things were not as they thought, and what was even more exaggerated was that the higher-ups wanted to take back the land.If you want it, you can first hand over a part of the food, which is regarded as renting.No problem, no problem, they will arrange some people who are willing to hand over to the village, and the land will be allocated to others.

This is the first time I have heard of such a thing, and I have never seen such a willful mess!

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the sun slowly set.The village head probably received the news before, and gathered the villagers to discuss this matter before they came.

"It's just a disguised form to ask us to expropriate grain! Anyway, the land is just like that, and the dry mud can kill people, so how can you cultivate the land? Collect it if you want, it's not rare!"

Someone next to him was not happy: "I can't plant it now, what if it can be done in the future? You can feed the whole family by yourself, and it is enough to plant a little in front of your yard. We, a family of seven or eight, don't have to worry about it." How to live!"

Lu Xueyi was recently blocked by the hot weather and was bored at home. Naturally, this kind of group meeting came with his father to join in the fun.Seeing Yao Ziqing, they sat down quickly and were sharing the fried peanuts at home with their friends.

"My family only has an acre of land right now. It doesn't matter if I want it or not. Anyway, my backyard is so big that it doesn't matter if I can't grow grains or vegetables. I just need to exchange it with someone!"

"My house only has three acres of land, and it's all empty now!"

In the past two nights, they all took back the corn stalks.Anyway, it's useless to plant it in the ground like this.Lei Zheng and his family are not far away. Seeing their family busy, they also feel that idleness is idleness, so they collected everything from their own family together.

The village head knocked on the gong: "Okay, be quiet! I have already asked, one mu of land has [-] catties of grain a year, first hand it in, if you don't want to, then take back the land!"

"Village chief, they said it's hard to take it back, is there still someone here to guard it? Now that the world is in chaos, who knows how long the government can exist!"

"Why didn't the government come out when I was dying of thirst and dryness! It's a dream to confiscate the land! If you beat them, beat them out! Why!"

"Exactly! Why! We didn't see the government come out when we were starving to death, and now we are still searching for our rations. If you want to force us to death, just say so!"

"Village Chief, have all the people in Lijia Village handed over?"

Someone in the crowd asked the question, and the outraged voices gradually died down.This person just wanted a comparison. If everyone obeyed the order from above and handed over, even if they were unwilling, they could only admit it.If you don't pay, then you have the confidence, everyone makes trouble together, the law does not blame everyone!

The village chief Lei Rongshi shook his head: "This time I just came to inform. After half a month, those who are interested will submit it uniformly. If no one is willing, they will not force it. They will just arrange for those who are willing to come over at that time. Now many Residents in cities and towns want to come to the countryside, but they can’t find a way, most of them are willing to pay the grain for a piece of land, which is better than holding on to the concrete ground.”

Everyone was a little silent. The previous period of going to the countryside could be described as a turmoil.Many people have to go to the countryside to find a place to settle down because of their connections.However, there are more people born and bred in the city, and now that the national government is taking the lead, I am afraid that all the places that come here will be obtained by breaking the lead.

"Then what if none of us are willing to resist? If we all make trouble together, shouldn't the higher-ups ignore it?"

"I heard that the people who come here are protected by the army. When the time comes, the rice and grain will be transported by the army. If there is any resistance, it will be killed on the spot. Now it is not a peaceful era. Human life is not as valuable as a few catties of rice!"

Yao Ziqing looked at his second brother and asked softly, "Are we friends?"

Lei Xiao nodded: "Give me two acres of land"

Yao Ziqing understood what the second brother meant when he thought about it. In the future, the eldest brother and the third brother will have a family sooner or later. Two mu of land, one mu per person, is better allocated.As for him and the second brother, who knows what will happen in the future, maybe when the world settles down and grandma has passed the deadline, they will leave here and take a look around.

With a decision in their hearts, after seeing the village chief finished speaking, they went back not long after staying.Anyway, it's noisy right now, half a month later, what to do or what to do.

I went back and told my grandma about this matter. Although they only paid two acres of land, they still have a greenhouse on the top floor, which is definitely enough.

Grandma has always supported her grandson's decision.They lived their own lives, and it was no longer her turn to dictate how to run the business.As long as they are all well, she is an old bone, what else can she ask for.

Regarding the matter of starting a family, Lei Li naturally has his own ideas, but it is different from Lei Xiao's: "I think it's better to hand over four acres. From next year, everyone will learn to go to the fields. After getting married, they will be the head of the family. , no matter whether the social order will be restored in the future, at least the current life should be lived well!"

Yao Ziqing glanced at the second brother, as for the matter of persuading the eldest brother, the second brother should do it.

"Two acres of land is enough, I have a plan"

Lei Lang squatted next to Si'er and teased Xiao Wu, not participating in the topic of their dispute.Who made him and Si'er the youngest in the family, so they have no right to speak at all! ╭（╯^╰）╮

Lei Xiao didn't explain his intention, but Lei Li still compromised.He is also thinking about the future life of his younger brothers.He was also a little worried about what was said at today's rally. If the situation has always been like this, those city people will definitely try their best to find a home in the countryside. It may be difficult to do it quickly.

Lei Zheng came over before dawn to inquire about their thoughts. Lei Lang told him the final decision: "In the future, you may not be able to survive without farming. Your family may as well have two acres. You and Lei Lin Yes, in the future I will always have a family and start a business. In the past, I couldn’t find a wife without a car, a house, or savings, but now I can’t find a wife without rice, food, or land!”

Lei Zheng's complexion was a little bad when he heard the words, and he sighed deeply: "My sister came back yesterday."

"Come back? Isn't that great? Doesn't she have a boyfriend who is in a stable relationship? Is this coming back together? Then pay another acre of land, but if there are too many people, the house may be a problem."

Lei Zheng shook his head and gritted his teeth: "That's a beast!"

Lei Lang was taken aback, and everyone in the room turned to look at him.Grandma seldom saw Lei Zheng like this, and she was a little worried: "What's the matter? Is Yu girl being bullied outside?"

Yao Nai and the others are not outsiders, they are all relatives, and they already have a deep relationship, so there is nothing to hide now: "Xiao Yu came back alone, with a big belly!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "What?!"
