The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

In the whole village, only Lei Zheng's family raised a sheep. In such a cold day, Lei Zheng was worried that the sheep would freeze to death, so he deliberately found a lot of old quilts, and exchanged some old quilts that other people's homes didn't want with goat milk. The entire sheepfold was covered tightly.There is also a lot of hay under the ground, which has played a somewhat role.

Some farmers' homes are also protected from the cold in this way. They don't have that kind of warm kang here, and they still have cold hands and feet after sleeping all night.The stove can't be kept burning all the time. In the past, those firewood and charcoal were very cheap, but now it is not necessarily possible to get much in exchange for grain.

Some people in the city began to try their best to find things for heating, wooden doors that could burn, tables and chairs, and some wooden beds that slept at home. As long as they found them, they would carry them home immediately, and there were not a few people who fought for this.

However, many people still freeze to death at home every day, and their body temperature is slowly taken away by the cold in their sleep.

In front of nature, human beings are too small, so small that as long as it loses its temper, human beings have no power to resist.

There was a new food in town, and it couldn't be said to be new, because that kind of thing is very common in some extremely poor countries, mud pancakes.Pancakes made from clay.

Of course, mud is not just any kind of mud. I don’t know when this kind of food began to appear in the base. It is a kind of yellow mud mixed with oil and salt, and then made into pancakes.Now even the tree roots are scrambling to dig out and eat, so the acceptance of this mud cake is naturally faster, at least there is oil and salt in it.

It's just the taste...I'm afraid I can only experience it myself and can't describe it in words.

Yao Ziqing's thoughts came out of the valley space, and now the ectoplasmic liquid can have an average of three drops in two days.The environment in the valley space is refreshing and pleasant. As soon as you come out, you can feel the bone-chilling cold, which is a great contrast.

I couldn't help sighing a little: "It would be great if I could enter. In such a cold day, I can let my grandma live in it, and I won't suffer so much."

"Don't think of weird things all the time"

Yao Ziqing handed the spirit liquid to the second brother: "It's so strange, there are two spaces, and there are still two! It's not impossible for people to get in!"

Lei Xiao didn't argue with him on this impossible topic, took the elixir and drank it, closed his eyes and began to slowly absorb it, Yao Ziqing lay on the side and stared at it.That fiery gaze was so existential that Lei Xiao couldn't calm down at all.She had no choice but to open her eyes and stare at him silently.

Yao Ziqing chuckled, leaned over and kissed Lei Xiao on the mouth, and then left the room to let him concentrate on cultivation.

Lei Xiao watched him close the door and leave, with a helpless smile in his eyes.There was no more disturbance in the room, so I started to prepare for meditation again.

In the living room, Ma Xin and Aunt Xiuxiu were trying to cut paper, but looking at the messy things, they knew it must be unsuccessful.

Yao Ziqing walked over and picked up an unidentifiable cutout, and said, "It's enough to write a happy word on the red paper, why do you have to cut it out?"

Ma Xin also put the things in his hand on the table, a little discouraged: "Forget it, forget it, don't cut it, just write it down."

Aunt Xiuxiu laughed: "I said it was written earlier, but I still have to try it. There are no such craftsmen in the village. Have you finished your dress yet?"

Ma Xin nodded: "It's all ready. I didn't expect marriage to be so troublesome. There is no place to register now. I thought it would be enough for the family to sit down and have a meal to witness, but it turned out to be a bunch of things!"

"It's such a big life event once in a lifetime. It's because there are no conditions. The more things happen, the more meticulous the etiquette is, the more you care about you. Let's have fun. There are so many envy, jealousy and hatred for you in this village, and I don't think so." Trouble~"

Ma Xin was embarrassed by Aunt Xiuxiu's teasing, and hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the table to cover up his little shyness.

Yao Ziqing smiled, seeing that the snow had stopped outside, he was going to take Xiao Wu out for a walk.After a while, the snow will be heavy and the snow will be deep, and it will not be easy to go out.And he is not interested in the topic of the two women.

As soon as I went out, I saw Li Wenshan squatting in the yard tidying up the small vegetable patch.Since Li Wenshan came, she has been working hard all day.She wiped the floor and the table, and she wiped the window so badly that she wished she had to put a careful glass on it to avoid bumping into it without noticing.This small vegetable field was also taken over by her, and she took care of it carefully.

She rushed to wash the changed clothes at home and the dishes and chopsticks that she had eaten every day.Ma Xin said that if this continues to make her lazy, what should I do without Li Wenshan in the future.

Yao Ziqing understood Li Wenshan's feelings, and finally got to a safe place, for fear of doing something wrong and being chased away.I live carefully every day, because I am afraid that there will be fewer things to do.

Seeing a girl whose hands were red from the cold and swollen like radishes, she couldn't bear it, and persuaded her, "Wen Shan, it's winter now, and there aren't many insects left. You don't have to take care of it so carefully, it's so cold outside." , if you’re really bored and have nothing to do, go and do some paper-cutting with Ma Xin.”

Li Wenshan glanced at Yao Ziqing, slightly clenched the spatula in her hand, lowered her head and smiled, "I'm not cold, and I don't know them well, so I'm uncomfortable sitting next to them, maybe they're also uncomfortable, it's better to be alone. It’s easy for people to do things outside”

Xiao Wu sat quietly at Yao Ziqing's feet, staring at Li Wenshan with dark eyes, not knowing what it saw.

Li Wenshan is a little afraid of Xiao Wu, even if Xiao Wu has never attacked her, even the hair looks very cautious.A dog weighs about [-] to [-] catties, fat and strong.Showing sharp canine teeth from time to time is even more heart-shattering.

Yao Ziqing didn't say any more: "Then you should pay attention to yourself, and go into the house when it's cold." After calling Xiao Wu, he walked out the door.

But Li Wenshan stopped him: "I heard something in the city, but I didn't hear it very clearly, it was just a general idea."

Yao Ziqing walked back to the vegetable shed, looked at the girl who was only as tall as his shoulders, and waited for her next words.

Li Wenshan was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to look up at Yao Ziqing's eyes. She wanted to step back a little, but she held back: "It's about food. I heard that there seems to be a new hybrid species. The survival rate It is very tall and resistant to cold and drought, but I heard from those people that they don’t plan to eat it by themselves, and use that new rice to replace non-hybrid rice.”

Yao Ziqing's eyes changed: "A new hybrid species?"

Li Wenshan nodded: "Well, that's what they said. I don't know, and I haven't seen it. I just listened to what they said, and I think this thing is not very good."

Yao Ziqing was silent for a while, then smiled: "I see, thank you for telling me this, I will pay attention to it"

After Yao Ziqing left, Li Wenshan was a little dazed looking at the leaving footprints in the snow.The existence that once watched secretly behind the bookshelves in the library is now living under the same roof.But the distance has become farther and farther, more and more out of reach.

The village is very quiet, covered with snow everywhere, it looks very beautiful and artistic.Three times of snow in winter, the peasants celebrate the new year. This is a beautiful meaning, but it is a pity that in the eyes of the peasants, the snow is like a devil with teeth and claws, devouring one life after another.

Yao Ziqing took Xiao Wu around the field, and many villagers were digging in their fields.Yao Ziqing looked at it for a while, and it turned out that he was digging sweet potatoes, which were so small, about one-third of the normal size.Yao Ziqing walked to his own field and saw the eldest brother and the third brother were tearing down the shed.He also took off his gloves and went down to help.

Lei Li hurriedly stopped him: "Why did you run out, go back quickly, it's so cold outside, don't freeze!"

Yao Ziqing bypassed the eldest brother and went to untie the ropes that were tied to the bamboo racks that they had dismantled. hurry home"

Lei Li didn't delay any longer, and his movements became faster.

Yao Ziqing said while untying the rope: "Grandma said that she will not make wedding cakes anymore. It's cold and it's troublesome to make. It's more realistic to return a gift with a knife."

He has prepared a lot of things for the wedding, including a lot of melon seed candies for entertaining guests, as well as small gifts for return.But it's definitely not acceptable to return gifts now, it's too eye-catching.

Lei Li has no objection either, let's just have meat, anyway, their family doesn't have much, but they have a lot of meat.I heard from Si'er that there are still several black bison in the space, with thousands of catties of meat, and it's free, so it doesn't feel bad to give it away.Everyone is satisfied with the face, which is very good.

"Then let's go. I did a rough calculation. About six tables are enough. Move all the sofas in the living room, and six tables can fit. Then clear out the two rooms on the first floor, If there are two tables, Mu Bai must invite them, so let them sit inside and reserve a room for spare."

Lei Lang interjected: "When the time comes, let Xiao Wu lie on the stairs on the second floor, who dares to go up? Don't worry about someone taking advantage of troubled waters!"

Xiao Wu groaned and checked his sense of presence. Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he still proudly stretched out his hairy little chest. It was very reliable!

Just as they were discussing which dishes to cook and some details on the wedding day, there was a loud noise not far away.Noisy and cursing, it sounds like the matter is not small.

Lei Lang quickly put down what he was doing and ran up to watch the fun.Yao Ziqing also followed behind.Xiao Wu stood up, wagged his tail, yelled at Lei Li, and leisurely followed his master and walked slowly.

Lei Li silently looked at the half of the bamboo shelf in his hand that hadn't been removed: "..." The one who promised to finish it early and go home early? !

The noisy place is not far from their home, just two steps away.Seeing a group of people gathered together, Lei Gang happened to be standing aside, and went directly to ask what was going on.

Lei Gang glanced at Xiao Wu, who was particularly dark in the snow, and was extremely envious.A dog that can often bring back meat from the woods can support a family!

"It's the one who lives in the school on the other side. The kid came over to steal something from the field and was caught. He was angry for a while and then moved his hands. Now the people over there have come to settle the score."

I really don't know who is right and who is wrong in this matter. It is wrong for children to steal food from the field, but there is really nothing to do when they are hungry.That's not the feeling that girls used to go hungry in order to lose weight. It's that they have something to eat but deliberately restrain themselves from eating.Because I know that I can eat whenever I want, and the test is only my perseverance.

Now I have nothing to eat, and I desperately want to get something to eat. The more I think about it, the hungrier I become, and the hungrier I get, the more I can't stand it.Really can do anything.

Yao Ziqing knows this feeling better than anyone else, but hunger has been challenging the bottom line you thought.The kind of hunger that you even start to wonder if the stomach has dissolved and digested itself.

Yao Ziqing couldn't help but look away when he saw the skinny child huddled behind the adults with only a handful of bones left.He can't help but think of himself in the previous life, and the hunger that hurt to the bone at that time.

Pushing and shoving and making noise, women yelling and scolding, men wrestling with hands, Yao Ziqing felt his head start to ache when he was scared to cry.

No matter how noisy the village is in Leijia Village, outsiders are still very united.I don't know if the people who came here are all children's families or if they have a better relationship, five men and two women.But the dozen or so people from Leijia Village surrounded them just by their numbers.

Lei Yuanming hurried over and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his son standing aside, as long as there was no accident at home.

"Uncle Yuan Ming, you are here! This group of people stole our things and dare to come here to make trouble!"

"Then what if you guys hurt my child! An adult hits a child! Do you still have humanity? You! It makes sense to beat someone!"

"It's as if it makes sense for you to steal things!"

Seeing that they started to quarrel again, Lei Yuanming shouted: "Okay! Quiet! Can the quarrel come to an end!"

Yao Ziqing rubbed his forehead, Lei Li, who didn't know when he came over, looked at him worriedly and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Yao Ziqing shook his head: "It's too noisy, it's so noisy, I'll take the dismantled ones home first."

Yao Ziqing asked Xiao Wu to stay here, if there was a real trouble, at least he should help him.I went to the shed by myself and put the bamboo pieces on the tricycle, and the removed cloth was piled up on the car, high and tall. After making sure that it was bound and could not fall off, I stepped on the car to send it back first.

Fang Jinlei and Ma Chen also came back from the town, and when they saw the things on Yao Ziqing's car, they grinned: "I'm still thinking about using something to cover the surrounding area, this is it, these oilcloths are windproof and waterproof, let's put them in the yard first In the future, it will be dismantled when it is needed again in the field!"

Yao Ziqing was going to go back to the field by bicycle, but Ma Chen said wait a minute, they would go together when they were done working here, a few of them could finish dismantling all the sheds before dark today.

Aunt Xiuxiu has already gone home, and Ma Xin and Li Wenshan are handing them ropes to support the table.There was originally a roof in the backyard, supported by four pillars, and above the roof was a platform on the second floor, where some corn kernels could be spread out to dry in the sun, which was very convenient.

There is a distance between the courtyard wall and the extended platform, so the surrounding area is ventilated, protected from sun, sun and rain but does not affect the lighting.Now is to use this thicker cloth to cover the ventilated surroundings, so that the backyard will be warmer.

Ma Xin saw that the cold wind was blocked out, and said with a smile: "In the future, we can set up a stove in the yard for barbecue, and we don't have to worry about the wind blowing cold!"

Ma Chen also laughed and said: "If there is no room to sit in the room when the wine is placed, you can also put a few tables in the yard and put a few braziers outside. Maybe it will be more comfortable!"

Thinking that the wedding was approaching, Ma Xin blushed and said nothing.

Li Wenshan lowered her eyes to hide the envy in her eyes. With a good brother and a good husband, one can imagine that her future life will definitely not be so bad.Looking at myself again, I know that I shouldn't be jealous, but I still can't control the emotions in my heart.

Lei Xiao, who was in such a noisy room in the backyard, had already woken up from his meditation, and with his current ability, he couldn't fully absorb a drop of psychic liquid in such a short time.But there is no rush, there is not much now, but there is most time.

Seeing the second brother, Yao Ziqing smiled: "Second brother, look, they are all blocked, and the vegetables in the small vegetable field will not be frozen."

Lei Xiao nodded, took a closer look, and re-reinforced several places to prevent the rattling when the wind was strong, otherwise the wind would be too noisy.It didn't take long for the yard to be dealt with, and several people went to the field to clear the field.

The noisy crowd over there hadn't dispersed yet, and the howls were almost tearing out their throats. It was obvious that the incident had escalated, and the ground was stained with blood.

Lei Lang saw the second brother and the others coming, so he ran over quickly: "He's dead! They just started fighting, and the shovel dropped out of his hand for some reason, and threw it straight at a child, hitting him impartially. My head, I lost my breath on the spot.”

Yao Ziqing was taken aback for a moment, it was only less than an hour before and after, how could it be getting worse and worse!Ma Chen hurried forward and saw a woman sitting on the ground holding a bloody child crying hoarsely.

Lei Yuanming's face was ashen, and the villagers who were still very imposing just now also turned pale. The men from the school were almost covered with blood, and it was unclear whether it was the wound or the child's body. .

Yao Ziqing whispered to the third brother, "Whose shovel?"

Lei Lang looked at Lei Qing, whose face was pale and panicked: "Uncle Wen Hui's son, the one who got stolen is also his family."

Lei Qing was only in his twenties, and he had been hiding in the crowd during the last robbery incident.Yao Ziqing has a little impression of him, he is an idiot with not bad nature.I guess I was really frightened, and I was still shivering while sitting on the side.

Lei Xiao frowned: "The person on the other side came to steal something?"

Lei Lang nodded: "It's that dead child, while Lei Qing and his family were digging sweet potatoes, they secretly lifted the cover and grabbed a handful and ran away. Lei Qing quickly chased after him and snatched back the stolen Two sweet potatoes, and slapped the child twice. The parents of the child over there saw the slap prints and came to ask for an explanation. At that time, the shovel flew out uncontrollably.”

The child's father seemed to be on the verge of getting violent at any moment, and was being suppressed by his own people on their side. Someone who seemed to be able to speak was negotiating with Lei Yuanming.

The villagers who were helping just now silently avoided some. It was fine to help in the fight, but it was better to avoid them if they caused trouble.

Lei Yuanming shook his head at the speaker over there: "Three thousand catties of rice is the limit, and five thousand catties of rice will not come out even if you kill them."

The child's father roared, "Okay! I don't want anything! I want this murderer to pay for my life! My son's life! I want to kill you! You murderer pay for my son's life!"

The man wanted to rush over violently, but he was always pulled by the people around him.

Lei Wenhui stood in front of his son Lei Qing, afraid that this irrational person would do something.He originally had a son and a daughter. His daughter Honglan died of eating poisoned fish that year. Now he and his son are left to depend on each other for life.If something happened to his son, he would not be able to survive.

The other side asked for [-] catties of rice, and Lei Wenhui's granary might not even add up to [-] catties.When the people on both sides were in a stalemate, Lei Qing rushed over and knelt in front of Lei Xiao, and kowtowed fiercely:

"Brother Lei Xiao, I beg you to save me, I really didn't mean it! I beg you Brother Lei Xiao, please help me! I really didn't mean to kill that child! I really didn't mean it ...I don't know how it became like this, Brother Lei Xiao, I beg you!"

Yao Ziqing was dumbfounded, why did his second brother get involved, and suddenly felt a little puzzled: "My brother is not a god, so maybe he can bring that child back to life, and I have to bear the responsibility for the mistakes I made!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled his second brother behind him, like protecting his son, for fear of being bullied.

Lei Xiao just glanced expressionlessly at Lei Qing, whose face was covered with snot and tears, then turned around and walked towards his shed.

Lei Qing still wanted to cry and beg to catch up, but Xiao Wu, who had been lying beside him in a black ball with no sense of existence, suddenly let out a low growl of warning, stood up to stop Lei Qing and looked at him fiercely, as if as long as he dared to step forward Bite off his neck in one step!

The man who spoke over there saw Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he didn't hear a dog barking just now, and if he hadn't stood up at this moment, he didn't even realize that there was a dog here all the time!

Turning his eyes, he pointed at Xiao Wu and said, "Give us this dog, and you don't want your food anymore, this matter will be written off!"

The child's father suddenly looked at the person who spoke with wide eyes, and was comforted by his eyes again.

The surrounding villagers took several steps back in a row, their movements were very tacit, and they looked at the person who spoke like a fool.

The man couldn't understand why a dog worth five thousand catties of grain was a huge profit.

Yao Ziqing's eyes turned cold, he glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and turned around directly: "Let's go, go home."

Xiao Wu tilted his head, looked at the person who said he wanted it, showed sharp canine teeth and licked it, his eyes were very sharp!While walking behind Yao Ziqing, while staring at the man, his steps were steady like a king, and he slowly exited the stage, directly shocking this group of stupid humans with his aura!
