Surviving the end of the world

As those foreigners left one after another, Xinxiang has almost returned to calm. The victims will often say and curse a few words, but for those who have nothing to do with themselves, such things are always easy to forget.Because of the previous incidents, everyone also realized how necessary it is to build a fence around the village. Therefore, just after the sowing was over, each village was thinking about building a fence. Several nearby villages have come to discuss and ask Can I borrow the clay kiln in Xiaohe Village?

Chen Dong and the others have completed the initial land reclamation and even built a simple house. They came to pick up the women and children as promised, and the village gave them away symbolically. Anyway, it is inconvenient to travel now, and the number of times they can meet in the future will be less. Don't be overly attentive.Some people who originally wanted to pick a son-in-law among these people lost interest when they found out that the unmarried people here had no intention of marrying, but they cursed viciously in their hearts. You're going to marry a wife in the future, it depends on where you go to marry, when the time comes, if you beg to get married, I'm afraid no one will agree!

The villagers have done what they can do, and now the village is rarely idle, but the few pregnant women really made the villagers tremble with fear.Although the nutrition of the pregnant woman is not good, so the fetus is not too big, it should not be difficult to give birth, but these days, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, not to mention doctors and nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department in the village, but other departments Yes, no, the profession of midwives has long since disappeared. As a result, those pregnant women were tortured enough, and the one who gave birth the most smoothly also gave birth to a boy who weighed no more than six catties. Of course, This also made the family overjoyed.

There are those who gave birth smoothly, and naturally there are also those who had a difficult delivery. The one who had a difficult delivery was Cai Zhen, the wife of Li Xinwen, who used to live by the river. She lost a daughter before, and she has been silent for the past two years. It stands to reason that Cai Zhen is the second child. , it shouldn’t be difficult to give birth, but she couldn’t give birth for two full days. In the end, Cai Zhen was so exhausted that she cried and asked Li Xinwen to cut open her stomach with scissors. Finally, a man with bruised skin was brought out of his stomach. In Yinglai, Li Xinwen is not a professional doctor, nor does he have professional surgical equipment. The scissors were just boiled in boiling water for disinfection. There was no anesthesia, and the bleeding could not be stopped. However, the incision was too large to be sutured. , Cai Zhen died due to excessive blood loss, and Li Xinwen cried heart-rendingly while hugging her son. The people in the village naturally felt the same way. Some people who had planned to have a child soon hesitated.

Now it’s not like before, dystocia, direct caesarean section, if there is any problem in the middle, if you need insurance, you will get insurance, if you need abortion, you will have abortion, after birth, there is no vaccine, no antibiotics, what is good or bad, even a local doctor can’t find it , How can everyone feel at ease.

The weather is getting hotter, and the weeds in the ground are growing extremely vigorously. If you don't pay attention, they will come out from between the bean stalks and the field ridges. The villagers spend most of their time on weeding.

Chen Jin pulled out weeds in the field for a while, and then pulled out a lot of beans that had grown tender pods, planning to go back and make marinated edamame as a snack.Wearing only a pair of shorts, Bai Jing came out of the nearby river, holding a silver carp half a foot long in his hand, with a happy smile on his face, trotting over with the fish, pestering Chen Jin and saying At noon, I went back to make fish head tofu soup, and the fish pieces were to be braised in soy sauce. Chen Jin agreed, and then felt that Bai Jing beside him suddenly had a murderous intent.He froze for a moment, and then saw a few people in Taoist robes, each carrying a large canvas bag whose original color could not be seen, coming from the road over there.

Chen Jin pulled Bai Jing, and Bai Jing's murderous intent quickly dissipated, and he muttered: "It seems that he has no mana, so he can't be a fake Taoist priest!"

"You don't care if he is true or not, but it must not be easy to come here!" Chen Jin was not very interested in these people, so she pulled Bai Jing along the path to return to the village. He stopped by the side of the road and was chatting up a few villagers who were working there.

When Chen Jin walked over, he heard them talking. Li Lixin raised his head and saw Chen Jin and the others coming, greeted them, and said excitedly, "Uncle Chen, these Taoist priests are from the southwest!"

Chen Jin carefully sized up those Taoist priests. They seemed to be living a pretty good life. Although they looked a little out of place in Taoist robes with straight hair, they looked very energetic, their skin was slightly dark, and there was not much on their faces. The color of the wind and dust, seeing Chen Jin and the others at this moment, one of them's eyes lit up, and he greeted: "Hey, brother, you are also a Lianjiazi!"

Chen Jin nodded noncommittally: "I have learned some earth handle moves, it's not worth mentioning! Why did you come here all the way from the southwest!"

A Taoist priest who looked younger complained: "Don't mention it, the family thinks we are not very capable but eat a lot, so they just kicked us out! It is said that we have learned a lot. In today's world, where are we? It's not the same, what's there to know, it's not because we dislike our poor qualifications... Well, Fifth Brother, what are you pulling me for?"

A Taoist priest next to him, who looked more capable, pulled him away, gave him an annoyed look, and then interjected: "Don't listen to his nonsense, there are many people in my hometown and the land is small, and our brothers can do something small." , then come out to wander around, at least to make a living!"

Bai Jing squinted his eyes and glanced at them. His eyesight was much stronger than that of Chen Jin's. Although these people had no mana, they practiced inner martial arts. It's easy to get here.

Chen Jin smelled a faint smell of medicine on their bodies, and he laughed: "You don't mean to be a doctor in the middle of nowhere!"

The young man raised his thumbs up: "Brother, you have good eyesight! Our brothers really know a little bit of Chinese medicine, bruises, massage, etc., and some small problems can be fooled! Before When I was studying, I said it was useless to learn this, but now it has become a skill for eating!"

The few people who heard it suddenly became happy, and the villagers who heard the sound hurriedly said: "Okay, the sun will be shining on the top of the head soon, go back to the village and talk slowly!"

The Taoist priests were not polite, and followed a few villagers into the village along the main road. When they saw the wall, they all showed surprise on their faces: "Hey, it must have taken a lot of thought to build this wall!"

"It's more than a lot of thought!" A villager sighed twice, "For more than half a year last year, the energy of the whole village was spent on this fence! This is something that can't be helped. There are so many messy things now. Not to mention the wolves and tigers in the wild, and those outsiders who have bad intentions, that, I'm not talking about you!" He laughed twice and didn't say any more.

Those Taoist priests have a pretty good temper, just smiled, the attitude of the villagers here is not bad, the villagers in some places were hurt by those so-called refugees, when they saw strangers coming, they didn't hold bricks It is considered polite to throw stones over.When they meet such people, no matter how great their abilities are, they can't use them, so they have to run away. After all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. They are just these few people, and they really can't conflict with a large group of locals. It is to suffer.

Speaking of this here, after entering the village, they have already exchanged names. Those Taoist priests came from Qingcheng Mountain, and they said that the whole family is a Taoist. The villagers half-believed this, but Chen Jin and the others Believe it.Bai Jing told Chen Jin that since ancient times, many cultivators in China have been under the family system. Those with qualifications in the family concentrate on cultivating Taoism, while those with poor qualifications practice martial arts and hang out in the world.Even those specialized cultivation sects, in the past, would set up a lower court in the secular world and pass down martial arts.On the one hand, these lower courts provide offerings to the cultivation sects, and on the other hand, they will also help them find disciples with excellent qualifications, and then obtain some profound spiritual methods, and even some medicines that are equivalent to so-called elixir for mortals, to grow Skills, prolonging life and so on can be regarded as mutual benefits.

But then the war lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the country came up with several movements, and many small sects disappeared directly. The remaining ones, except for some who cooperated with the country, were simply hidden from the world. What kind of family or sect do they belong to, but most of them are the ones who serve the public.

These Taoist priests are surnamed Liang, they are not much different in age, and they are also brothers of the same generation. Enthusiasm took it to the next level.

A few Taoist priests exchanged two big roosters and a few eggs from Chen Jin with a small packet of golden sore medicine, and asked a few nearby villagers to exchange some vegetables, potatoes and cornmeal, so they borrowed the old captain's kitchen to cook. I ordered a stewed chicken nuggets with potatoes, and baked a dozen corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, and a few vegetables in the pot of stewed chicken. The children who heard that someone was coming were drooling, and they were not stingy. , several children shared a piece of chicken each, and each of them hid aside happily and chewed, reluctant to swallow it for a long time.

After a meal, they directly set up a stall in the village, took out the contents of the backpack, put them on the stall, and wanted to exchange food with the villagers.

On the way, they also help people see a doctor and exchange some food. Of course, this is only part of their income. They usually exchange the commonly used trauma medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs they prepare themselves. In addition, they also provide Although the pictures of some common medicinal materials are hand-painted, they are drawn in a sketching manner, which is fairly similar, and some descriptions will be added next to them. These days, it really reflects what is called knowledge is wealth, so simple The pictures are sold by the sheet, and the price is not low.
