Apocalyptic Tundra Age

Xu Zhonglei is like a mouse that has jumped into a rice bowl, running back and forth happily, snapping photos with his mobile phone, and disassembling these assembled parts by himself from time to time.

Especially on the bank of the creek, a large piece of precious and complete rotating shaft, water bucket, and baffle are still preserved.Others are not important, with this part, it is enough for Xu Zhonglei to figure out what the fishing waterwheel looks like.

"You guys have extra meals tonight!" Cheng Yuming took out a small snack from his pocket as a reward.

Boss and Xiaozhi groaned and caught it, and gorged themselves.

Xu Zhonglei lingered on the wreckage of the waterwheel, and dealt with the couple for lunch.Excitedly digging snow and digging ice, I took off my gloves and took pictures as hard as ice.Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Yuming urged him several times, but Ladu couldn't pull him away.

"It's almost time bro, it's getting dark, we won't be able to leave if we don't."

Cheng Yuming was really anxious to death. It is easy to get lost in snowy weather. Now there are no street lights at night. If there is a heavy snow...

"For the last one, I want to see that rod... I will leave after taking the picture."

Xu Zhonglei's nostalgic look looks like a middle-aged aunt who is out on a trip, and he can't wait to take hundreds of photos to make the trip worthwhile.

The sun was gradually setting, and it was snowing heavily, and the wind was blowing bitterly.

The two dogs opened the way ahead, Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming squinted their eyes, braving the heavy snow and walking forward... They always seemed to be going into a fork in the road, lost in the vast snowfield, and then turned around, and miraculously Find a way.

It's a blessing that the whole group didn't freeze to death outside.

Their small sleds, food and clothing are all placed in the riverside hut, just as they were before going out this morning.

As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yuming collapsed on the wooden bed and said in a low voice:

"Brother, let's not rush like this next time..."

"Knowing that you fell down, snowflakes blocked our sight, and the boss and the little paper couldn't be found, guess what I was thinking?"

"In summer, there will be two corpses there, dismembered by dogs, pecked by birds, decomposed by microorganisms to the last bit of bone, and then each blooms with different flowers. You are vetch, and I am rapeseed... ...It's too miserable, after death, there is no place to stay properly...Next time it will be like this again, before we freeze to death together, I will kill you first."

Xu Zhonglei was happily flipping through the photos on his mobile phone, but when he heard Xiao Cheng's strong and slightly choked voice behind him, he was instantly stunned.He has always been a maverick, he doesn't care about the future, he doesn't care about the future, so it's so sour when people say that, it's like eating a hundred lemons in his mouth.

He put away his mobile phone, consciously lay down next to Cheng Yuming, pulled his hand towards him, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, there will be no next time. Next time you go out, you must ensure the safety of yourself and everyone else. You must make emergency plans and avoid any danger. If you can't..."

"Then you can kill me."

"Humph."

Cheng Yuming exhaled a breath from his nostrils, he was noncommittal, but he was still a little relieved.Quietly hugging Xu Zhonglei's waist, without saying a word.

.

There is no entertainment in the dark and cold night, only the distance between the two is negative.

Xu Zhonglei was in a trance, and a small mouth opened in the frozen lake of the big river separated by a dike, and then the river became unbearable at first, and then became soft.Under the squeeze and collision of spring, thousands of ice floes are criss-crossing and overflowing on the water surface.

The big river groaned, struggled, and then became happy, the water splashed in all directions, and the whole world was filled with the breath of life.

The eternal starry sky above his head was clear, blinking and blinking, and he was too ashamed to look at it, and directly sank into the clouds.

After the gallop and indulgence, it returns to calm, even in the dream is the tolerance of the river.

Xu Zhonglei had a dream all night. No matter how enthusiastic the process was, there would always be a rough fishing water tanker on the final river.

Driven by the water current, the waterwheel rotates once to form a bucket of fish. In the end, even the fish basket is full, and the fish caught by the waterwheel overflows and jumps back into the icy river water.

He couldn't sleep, it must have been a sign from heaven - don't indulge in sex any more!

Catch fish and eat meat!

"Go home right away and make a waterwheel!"

.

"I think..." Xu Zhonglei hesitated for a while, and finally spoke during a snowy breakfast time.

"Wait, wait until I finish eating."

Cheng Yuming knew what Xu Zhonglei was going to say, but he forced Xu Zhonglei to hold back the words. After all, his brother's hesitant and hesitant look was rare, so he wanted to feel it for a while.

"..." The way Xiao Cheng chewed the green vegetables slowly made him angry, Xu Zhonglei exhausted his patience, and said to himself: "You eat yours, I will talk about mine. The blueprint of the waterwheel is almost drawn, and I am [-]% sure that I can go into the water It works. The two of us can't handle this big guy, I think..."

"You want to use work in lieu of relief, and get the whole village to do it together. The salary is the rice in our basement." Cheng Yuming wiped his mouth with a smile, and Xu Zhonglei walked around the pile of rice in the basement, chanting and calculating I also wrote that if you pay a little attention, you can immediately guess what Xu Zhonglei wants to do.

"So, my brother, what should I do in your plans?"

Xu Zhonglei was seduced by Xiao Cheng's doting smile, and he paused for a long time, covering his hot cheeks and saying, "Just help me."

——No, in Xu Zhonglei's plan, Cheng Yuming was charged with the heavy responsibility of distributing food and supervising workers, and he had to coordinate the overall situation.

But as an excellent partner, this kind of slap in the face to arrange work for his old Gong cannot fully mobilize his enthusiasm, so Xu Zhonglei decided to learn from Onion——

Peel off layer by layer, and then hand over the task to Xiao Cheng.

Xu Zhonglei wanted to start the fishing waterwheel project quickly, so he walked around the village in a hurry.The next morning, the village assembly was held.

"It's such a cold day, isn't Dakar dumbfounded in the house? Are the potatoes at home enough to eat? Do you want a bowl of rice?"

Xu Zhiping's three soul-deep questions instantly frightened the villagers who came to the meeting, and none of them complained about getting up early in the cold weather, and said in a loud voice: "Xu Zhiping, don't be foolish, tell me something good!"

Xu Zhiping smiled cheerfully after retiring, and said, "Come, come, the rich man comes up. Eat sweet potatoes and vines, right? If you speak well, let's have porridge today!"

"Ahem." Xu Zhonglei stood on a high place and showed off the wooden thing in his hand. It is half an arm long, and the wooden boards on both sides clamp the round object in the middle. Looking carefully, this circle is made of eight small wooden buckets. Made with small veneers nailed up.

Xu Zhonglei waved this thing in front of everyone's eyes, and said, "You see it clearly? This thing, called a waterwheel, is a good thing left by our ancestors thousands of years ago. It doesn't burn oil or firewood, only a Put this thing in the water, it can move, bucket by bucket of water from the river."

As soon as he fiddled with it, the little water wheel whirled and turned, which aroused envious boos from the little boys.

"Woman! I want it too! I want to play!" Xu Ao jumped so high that he almost knocked off the wooden cart in Xu Zhonglei's hand. The hard-working figure was ruined by the bear kid.

"Tricking your mother to steal people!" Yu Yu stared at her and breathed out, Xu Ao immediately fell silent.

"There's one of these things in the town. Shitou, you brought out a toy, are you kidding me?" Dr. Zeng asked disdainfully.

"What's so interesting about this? Why don't you go to sleep! Let's go!" Xu Dali even looked like he was about to leave.

Xu Zhonglei didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, bring the fishing water tanker I just made."

"Brother!" Cheng Yuming took the small water tanker and sent a small fishing tanker.

"Water wheel, of course, is not uncommon. If I get stones, I will definitely find something useful, isn't it? Come and have a look! Look carefully! Yin Yin, tell me, what's the difference between this car and the one in front?"

Xu Yin, Xu Zhiping's precious little daughter, braided her hair and said loudly:

"The wheel is getting bigger! One side is full of holes!"

Xu Zhonglei smiled kindly: "Yinyin, you are awesome! Then you can make it move?"

The small fishing water wheel also turned up and down, and Xu Zhonglei raised the model in his hand, as if possessed by a salesman of health care products, and said obsessively:

"A great man once said that success is to stand on the shoulders of giants, and you must have a pair of eyes! Eyes! It means that an opportunity to make a fortune is in front of you, and you have to be able to see it! See it? That's it! This thing It is the symbol of the prosperity of our old Xu family village! With it, you have never seen a big! World, you will see it soon!"

"Opportunity! Opportunity! I think Boss Jin came out of our small mountain village and became a multi-millionaire in a flash; President Niu who appeared on TV was also a small gangster who set up a stall back then. Compared with them, are we really inferior in IQ, and our brains are really not as good as theirs? Of course not! That's because they found a business opportunity and saw a big opportunity behind one thing!"

"Now, a new opportunity has appeared, who can think of it, I, Xu Zhonglei! I will eat this phone on the spot-no, I will send ten catties of potatoes on the spot! Look at it, look at it, look carefully! I found an opportunity It’s a rich man! Others can do it, but our old Xu’s family has produced a big man like Lin Zexu, whose ancestors have very good genes, so it’s for sure!"

Xu Zhonglei spoke in an eloquent manner, with a dry mouth, and handed the water truck in Xu Zhiping's hand, and let him go down to let everyone have a look, calm down and prepare for the next round of fooling around.

"Ahem. Did you find anything? Did you find it? Everyone, there is only a piece of paper between you and the business opportunity. As long as you break it, we can develop! Ten catties of potatoes, whoever thinks of it will belong to him." Xu Zhonglei returned Fan the flames.

"This thing is used to draw water from the pond?"

"The pond is stagnant and cannot be moved."

"Used to generate electricity?" Dai Sheng was still thinking about electricity.

"No battery."

……

Suggestions were put forward one by one and rejected, and the atmosphere of discussion was intense. Even the village chief, who had retired and didn't say much, began to talk about it.

The girl stood up and said in a calm tone:

"This thing, make it bigger, put it in the river, and catch fish."

As soon as Fan Yu said it, everyone who was itching fell silent. Listen, it seems, probably, maybe, it makes sense!

"Fan Yu, come, come, the awards are presented, take ten catties of potatoes home!" Xu Zhonglei made the final decision, and asked Xiao Cheng to bring potatoes in a bamboo basket.He concluded:

"It's still a young man with a flexible mind. My fish catching cart, I'll show you the process of catching fish with this thing." Xu Zhonglei pointed to the much wider turntable with his little finger and said, "This net with holes goes down a little. Digging, the water flows out of the hole, the fish will stay on the net, and then go forward, the fish in the net will flow into the water bucket, and after a full circle, it will flow here—”

"I can't speak clearly, Xiao Cheng, pick up a piece of ice and come in!"

Xu Zhonglei shook the water wheel slowly, and the ice cubes did what he said, and finally obediently fell into the small basket that had been placed in advance.

"The current waterwheel is only a small one, but once it is scaled up and placed on the riverside, it will be a big basket full of fish. I am afraid that by then, we people will eat fish every day, and we can eat fish every day. to vomit-"

In the end, Xu Zhonglei became the person he disliked the most—his leader Lao Wang who loves to draw big cakes also has such an excellent ability to draw big cakes.

But Xu Zhonglei felt that this pancake was completely different from Lao Wang's, he was real!

After talking about the bright future, Xu Zhonglei created an image of self-sacrifice and dedication.

"I Shitou has been reflecting on myself recently, and I feel that I am too bad to be like this. To tell you the truth, since I thought of building a car to catch fish, I can't sleep. When I think of our family of three making steamed fish every day , boiled fish, grilled fish, cured fish, and eat them in different ways, but my fellow villagers with the same family name and surname can only eat potatoes with no oil or water every day. Very uncomfortable, really."

"After discussing with Xiao Cheng for two days, I finally decided that I must do it together with everyone in building a car! Eat the hardships together, and share the fish together! Our Xu family's old house is a united whole. Chopsticks can't be bent, our unity is our strength, let's do great things together!"

"In the end, I decided that this time we will build a car together, and I will take care of the food for a month!" Xu Zhonglei rubbed his hands, tried to make an embarrassed expression, and said with a simple smile: "We don't have any more food, we just Waiting for the fish to be caught, our village will be able to have a full meal."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask them, and I will try my best to answer them."

Xu Zhonglei couldn't help but come to the last part of an excellent pass/marketing—the time for answering questions.
