Doomsday foresight

The blizzard fell for several days, and Jiang Chen couldn't leave until April when the weather improved, but they didn't have time to go.

Because of the continuous heavy snowfall, the villagers did not go to the forest to check the traps and catch prey for a long time. After the snow stopped, the hunting team set off to check the prey in the traps. They returned in the afternoon and brought back bad news.

"You mean everyone in their village died?" Jiang Chen couldn't believe the news.

"Well, the sixth uncle asked us to go there, and wanted to exchange something with them. I thought that going to their village would not require so many people, so I let Jin Qi and Jin Lin go. As a result, when the two of them went to the village, they found that their village's They are all dead." Ye Ke's face was a little pale when he said, "We went to see when they reported the news when they came back, and there was no one left. They ran back without daring to stay any longer."

"Did someone kill him or something?"

"It wasn't killed by people, it should be made by wild animals. Several houses in the village collapsed. Many corpses were eaten." Ye Ke frowned, "It may be a bear. No more licks." Ye Ke felt nauseated when he said this.That scene was too scary.

"I'll go." Jiang Chen couldn't sit still, "You don't have to follow, I will take the people who went out today to have a meal, drink some wine, and enlighten me. And tell Jinhui, maybe Can't go out."

"Why don't you go?" Jin Xi froze for a moment.

"The village in the north is not far from us. People in their village would say that hunting is better than us, but one of them didn't run away. This is not normal. Wild beasts attack very casually. Even if it is a bear that attacks them, one day We met so big, but it’s not impossible to escape, so I have to go and see, if I don’t find out, I can’t always feel at ease.”

"Then I'll go with you." Jin Xi said as he was about to find something out of the door.

"No, I'll go and have a look, bring a few people, and come back after seeing the situation. If I encounter a bear or something, I don't plan to do anything. I have to be vigilant at home. If you can foresee it, you can take precautions, because you are afraid of wild animals. Come." Jiang Chen stopped Jinxi from following, Ye Ke was so fearless, his expression was so bad when he spoke just now, obviously the scene was very bloody, Jinxi better not go.

Jin Xi frowned, "Okay, then be careful, and come back quickly if you encounter a particularly difficult situation."

Jiang Chen nodded, and suddenly thought of something to ask Ye Ke, "What are you going to change? Our village has more things than them."

"Oh, it's Jinkang's daughter-in-law who had a miscarriage. The situation is not very good. It's been more than half a month and she still can't move. Zhang Zhong asked me to get some things to make up for it. When the sixth uncle found out, he asked him to go to their village to change some forest frog oil. Said they got a lot back in September last year."

Jinxi's heart sank, "Jinkang's daughter-in-law had a miscarriage? What's going on?"

Ye Ke shook his head, "Who knows, one after another, their family almost confessed her as their ancestor, and no matter how careful they were, they never kept her."

Speaking of which, there has been no newborn in their village for a long time. Ever since Ye Cheng's wife gave birth to a boy, there have been no children born in the village. There have been three pregnancies, but all of them died, and it was after the three-month dangerous period no.It's because everyone was very careful when this Jinkang wife had a child, but she didn't know it was gone.

"Have Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan discovered the problem?" This is definitely a big deal.

"I don't know. I heard that Jinhang has a wife. I hope it goes well."

Jiang Chen took people to the northern village. Jinxi wandered around the fence, but found nothing wrong. The fence was 1.5 meters wide, so it was easier to patrol.In addition, the gates on all sides are covered with gate towers, which can better defend and look out. Once the gates are closed, it is not easy to open.

When I got home, I saw dinner time. Several women in the family took their children to Liu’s house. Liu Qiang’s mother-in-law is from the Xian ethnic group. he does.

Went to the cellar to move a jar of jam.Originally, the jam was not stored for a long time, but the cellar dropped below zero shortly after it was ready, and the shelf life of the jam was also extended, as long as they were eaten before the snow melted.

The noodles were posted yesterday. Jinxi cut a lot of green onions. These green onions are fresh. They got seeds from the south. Jinxi wanted to try planting them in winter. He got some soil from Dongshan and used mulch and plant ash as the base fertilizer. , The seeds were scattered and put outside. When it snowed, a thick layer of snow fell. After more than two months, Jinxi moved them to the corridor outside the West House, where the temperature is higher, and the corridor has windows, so it can Shine into the sun.

Not bad, it took more than half a month to germinate after moving into the house. Jinxi felt that the snow outside might be good for the growth of the plants, so he melted the snow and watered it. Now the green onions and leeks planted are very good.Of course, these are the seeds they brought back from the south. Jinxi even tried it with her own seeds, but less than one-tenth of them germinated, and even fewer survived.So I didn't do anything wrong when I went to the south to change seeds, but I didn't know that the information sent by Vic was not taken seriously.If attention is paid to it, the food crisis will be overcome in less than two or three years.

Jinxi made two kinds of steamed buns, one is for women and children with sweet and sour jam smeared, the other is chopped green onion rolls, the chopped green onion is mixed with seasoning and salt, a little oil is added, and the steamed noodles are rolled into a large sheet Cake, then covered with chopped green onion, rolled into a tube and cut into the size of ordinary steamed buns, and then steamed in a pot, the taste is very good.Compared with the small amount of rice, there are still a lot of noodles at home, so steamed buns have become a staple food. Corn noodles, wheat noodles, and buckwheat noodles are eaten in different ways.

The steamed buns are steamed in a pot, and Jinxi will also make a random stew. There are wild boar ribs at home, and they are chopped into small pieces with a small axe. Then add water and simmer.When the ribs are about the same, add dried potatoes, eggplants, dried beans, and wide noodles. There is not much tomato sauce left, put half a bottle in it, and add an egg to the remaining half bottle to make tomato and egg soup.

The dishes in the pot are not ready yet, grandma and the others are back.

"Old man, we brought cakes back." Huzi ran to the house with a basin in his arms.

Jin Xi stretched out his hand to take it, and opened the lid, and inside was frozen cakes that were a little hard, "Are you going to be full again?" Jin Xi said as he touched Huzi's stomach, and it turned out to be round. "I'm making steamed buns with jam today, let's see if you can still eat them."

Huzi patted his stomach when he heard that, "Don't worry, old man, I can eat at least two." After speaking, he nodded confidently.

Jin Xi smiled, this child is seven years old, but he looks like he is eleven or twelve years old.Looking at Qiangzi who came with him, he may have eaten enough, and Qiangzi also looks particularly strong like a tiger.

"Go ahead, wash your hands and put the table down for dinner."

"There are not many vermicelli left at home, right?" Grandma saw that Jinxi stewed wide vermicelli, and remembered that the fine vermicelli was gone when she cooked last time.

"Well, I can still eat two meals. Tomorrow, I will ask who wants to make it, and then we will make it together."

"You don't need to ask, let Second Aunt go, and you don't need to worry about such things in the future." Now there are many things in the village, and Jinxi is also busy.

"I'm fine." Jin Xi smiled.

Just as grandma was about to speak, the door suddenly opened, and Vic walked in from the outside, "Jinxi, where's Jiang?"

"He has gone to the northern village, what do you need from him?"

Vik nodded and handed the paper to Jinxi, "I received satellite photos again today. This time I received more, take a look."

Jin Xi put down his chopsticks and took the papers, "Have you eaten yet? Eat together every time."

"No, my wife has already made it, so I'll bring this to you. Haven't you been dreaming these days?" Vik is very much like the Romans, and now he is an authentic Yejia villager except for his appearance.

"What's the matter?" Jin Xi said as he opened the roll of photos, and the result was just like the eyes, everywhere was a piece of white.The second, third, and fourteen sheets in total are all white.He couldn't tell where the pictures were taken at all.

"It won't be snowing all over the world." Jin Xi was still surprised.The world is so big, how can it snow all over the world.

"No, this is a photo from south to north. What I want you to see is not snow, but here. This is a photo of the southern sea."

Jin Xi took a deep breath after looking at it, "Is this the sea?"

"That's right. That's why I think the matter is serious." Vic also felt incredible. "I compared it for a long time, and I'm sure that this is the right place. You see, this is the city of magic. Absolutely."

Jin Xi was really shocked, he spread several photos on the kang.Watch carefully.

At this time, Jin Yang also put down his chopsticks and came over to watch together, "Is it colder in the south than here? Is the sea here frozen?"

Vic nodded.

Jinxi looks like a vast expanse of whiteness in these photos. In fact, the coastline in winter is easy to distinguish, because the sea water does not freeze, so there will be a very obvious division on the coastline, but now the obvious city is in the middle of the whole map. Originally, the ocean It looks like the North Pole or the South Pole, and the most incredible thing is that although there are not many traces of freezing in the sea area on their side, at least from the photos, it is not much different from before .

"Why is the south more cold than the north?"

"Do you think our Shui Lanxing has changed?" Jin Yang guessed.

"No way." Jin Xi rubbed his head, he always felt that this was not a good thing.

"If the south is colder than the north, what about the transferred people? Also, the heating facilities in the south are not perfect. What should we do?" The second uncle frowned worriedly.

"Oh." The old man sighed, he didn't even want to eat.

"Who said that the temperature in the north was seriously lowered and everyone moved, who said it?" Jinxi really has some atmosphere. At the beginning, their village was not notified at all, and it was considered abandoned. Now this situation has happened in the south. In fact, the people who moved didn't take too many things with them, so how could there be so many things for the winter.

Jin Yang patted him on the shoulder, "It shouldn't be that bad. At least when you go to the south, the temperature there is higher than ours, isn't it?"

Jin Xi sighed, I really hope that these satellite photos of Vic are wrong.
