Apocalyptic Tundra Age

"Before you came to Angkor, you told me to let me cover you. Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Zhonglei tilted his head and said to Wei Lai with a smile.

Wei Lai shook his head, it didn't sound like a good thing, he didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand.

Xu Zhonglei squeezed his hand vigorously: "Help me with some chores and take care of your food."

"I'm so sorry..." Wei Lai was a little moved, and said politely.

Xu Zhonglei smiled charmingly: "I can bring my family."

"Brother, just tell me what work you have in your family. It doesn't matter if it's food or not. I mainly like chopping firewood, watering the fire, and washing the dishes." Wei Lai is as good as he is, and small labor is not worth mentioning in front of a meal for two.

Twenty or so people stayed in the town for a whole day, and the distribution plan was basically reached a consensus, and the wet food was cleaned up.

On the morning of the third day, the cold rain gradually stopped and the sky cleared up.

One autumn rain and one cold, no matter whether this heavy rain is a sign of severe cold or not, the battle of snow preparation in Xu's old house is in full swing.

Xu Jinpeng and Dai Sheng led a few people to pull the waterwheel back onto the big river. The rotating shaft slowly turned with the river water, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Before returning home, Xu Zhiping told the three people who stayed behind: "We must always observe the changes in the weather, and immediately pull the water tanker back to the shore if the situation is not right. If you are not sure, remember to come to the village to call for help. If it doesn't work, give up in time. The water tanker If it’s gone, it’s gone, and you can do it again at any time, people are the most important.”

After the relaxing trip to Hongrui Villa, the people in the old house of the Xu family returned to their busy schedule.

Especially Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming, they have a big stall and they grow a lot of things. They enjoy farming for a while and harvest in the burial ground.

The Chinese cabbage and radish in the field need to be harvested, the dried shiitake mushrooms need to be baked, and the soybeans planted in rotation in the vegetable house are also ripe, not to mention that every crop of vegetables is on the way to grow old...

There are also endless repairs, generators, wind turbines, light bulbs at home, fill lights in the field, and humidifiers in the mushroom house.

In addition to the young man Wei Lai who was pulled back, the three of them never touched the ground, and they were so busy that they were in the dark.

Xu Zhonglei didn't even think of his hunter's cabin for a minute.

On the third day after returning to the village, the village organized another mass tree-cutting activity. Looking at the majestic Huangjiao Peak not far away, Xu Zhonglei finally remembered that there were still several things that he hadn't had time to do.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's too late to build a house in the mountains this year." Xu Zhonglei said to Cheng Yuming in a low voice.He felt a little regretful that he still didn't do what he had been thinking about all along.

"The site has been selected, and we can start anytime." Cheng Yuming patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't there a barrier lake in the mountains? This winter, let's get ready and go to that lake."

"We have to go, the lake is on our heads, it's a ****." Xu Zhonglei agreed very much.

Last year, the village collectively felled trees, and after the felling was finished, they were left in place, and when the heavy snow froze the ground, they were pulled back to the village all at once.

This time, the number of cuts was more than last year, so everyone repeated the same trick, and returned to the village after cutting and tidying up.

In the past two days, the temperature dropped from time to time, and the weather was still clear, but not half a day after they came back from cutting down the trees, large swathes of dark clouds gathered at the end of the sky, and the strong wind was strong, making people tremble all over.

"Heavy snow is coming!" Xu Cheng exclaimed, she is young, but some scenes have already been engraved in her DNA, and she has a deep memory of the sky that is about to snow heavily.

Cheng Yuming glanced at the sky outside, and pulled her back into the house. He hurriedly shuttled through several rooms, sealed the doors and windows, drove the chickens back to their cages, and then quickly found the clothes of the three of them.

Xu Zhonglei was at Xu Zhiping's house, and when they heard someone shouting, everyone looked up to the sky.

There is no chatter, and the whole world is only the whirring of the wind.

"A snowstorm is coming."

A blizzard is coming!

Xu Zhiping came to his senses first, and said while getting dressed, "I'm going to town!"

The waterwheel was a big, heavy thing, and to move it, it had to be unloaded into several pieces first. Seeing that the storm was coming, it would be too late to move the waterwheel.What Xu Zhiping was worried about was whether the three people in the town would abandon the water truck for refuge. As the village head, he had to check the situation.

Xu Zhonglei understood what Xu Zhiping meant, and pulled Xu Zhiping to look out the window: "It's too late. There is something you have to do now. People in the village who are outside now have to go back to the house and light the kang. I will go with you."

The clouds in the distance are like thick ink, and there seems to be a dragon dancing among the clouds, rushing towards the south, these clouds are much closer to the distance I saw just now.

And the town was at least half an hour away from the village, so it was too late.

"Okay. Wife, you go to burn the kang, I'll be right back." Xu Zhiping made a decisive decision and went out immediately.

The two yelled together on the field ridge: "Go home! Burn the kang! A snowstorm is coming!"

The basic cabbage and radishes have already been harvested once, and those who are still in the field are those who are reluctant to part with the small potatoes in the field. They will sift the soil again because of their reluctance.

Xu Zhiping tried his best to persuade Uncle Jiang's daughter-in-law, who was on crutches, to go home.

Xu Zhonglei looked far and wide, wanting to see if there were any people in the field who were not afraid of death. Three small dots appeared on the far side of the road. They trotted towards them.

You are back—

Seeing that the storm was getting closer and closer, and the chilling atmosphere made their hairs stand on end, Xu Zhonglei saw that it was too late to go home, so he hid in Xu Zhiping's house with Uncle Jiang and his wife.

Within a few minutes, the cold wind howled over, hitting the window sill, and the rapid cooling caused a thin layer of ice to form on the crack of the door.

Several people leaned against the fire wall, trying to draw some warmth from it.In this very cold atmosphere, Xu Zhonglei couldn't help asking:

"How did you come back in time?"

"Brother Jinpeng is awesome!" Dai Sheng couldn't help shouting, "Yesterday the water tanker was fishing for a whole day, but we didn't catch a single fish, so Brother Jinpeng said it was wrong yesterday and asked us to unload the water tanker and pull it under the embankment. , this morning, Brother Jinpeng went to the water to have a look, and said something was wrong, we'd better come back first."

"Then the sky changed halfway, Brother Jinpeng told us to run quickly and come back, so you can still see the three of us now, it's Brother Jinpeng who is awesome!"

Xu Jinpeng listened to Dai Sheng's flattery, his heart fluttered but his surface was calm. He leaned himself closer to the fire wall and said modestly:

"I didn't catch any fish all day yesterday. I was very surprised, because I killed fish for dozens of days, and every day I got a harvest. Suddenly there was no fish. If things are abnormal, there must be monsters. I feel uneasy. , so first disassembled the waterwheel and put it away.”

"I looked at the river this morning, and there was no bubble on the entire river, which means that there is not a single fish on the river now."

"Everything has animism, animals are much smarter than us, they are all hiding, something will happen, so I asked to go home."

He summed up a wave of experience: "The world is too dangerous now. If something goes wrong, you have to run immediately. What can a person bear? It's too weak."

Xu Zhonglei nodded straightly, Xu Jinpeng was able to travel across the province's interior and exterior decoration markets, and indeed he was a bit of an expert, and he practiced his kung fu of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages very well.

Thinking of the teaching reconstruction plan in the village, it was decided at this moment, at this moment, that Xu Zhonglei would recruit another teacher for the little ones in the village.

"Those who have been able to survive in society for decades are really different from us. Brother Jinpeng, if you say you saved two water trucks at a small scale, you can save two lives at a big scale. It's really amazing. "Xu Zhonglei organized his words against the cold, "If next time, their colleague is not you, I'm afraid they will be doomed."

"How could it be? Shi Li is young and promising, so he will definitely not encounter such a thing." Although he didn't understand Xu Zhonglei's purpose, Xu Jinpeng relied on his years of instinct to blow past each other.

Xu Zhonglei shook his head: "To tell you the truth, just like you said, now is different from the past, people are too weak, but the outside is very dangerous, and anything that jumps out suddenly can kill us, and there is no society now. We have practiced, and when we fight, we will sacrifice our lives."

"Brother Jinpeng, I have a plan now. There are five or six children in our village, and there are five or six half-aged children in total. When it snows and we are all free, let's open a whole school class. I am teaching our children recently. It’s boring for Xu Cheng to teach and learn by herself, so I might as well teach all the children together.”

"I can teach mathematics, physics and chemistry. Wei Lai and Xiao Cheng come to fight and fight," Xu Zhonglei asked, "Brother Jinpeng, you can also teach me. You have been struggling in society for so many years. Teach children to avoid danger in time."

Xu Jinpeng listened intently for a long time, and understood what Xu Zhonglei said. He lost his son in middle age, and currently lives alone in his own house. His daily entertainment is to go from the hole in the closet to the cellar. , enjoy your own inventory.

But there is no shortage of food now, and the stock of the idea is nothing to look at. He hasn't seen the cellar for dozens of days. Thinking about it, being a teacher is also a good job, preaching and teaching, what a beautiful word.

Xu Jinpeng almost agreed directly, but his usual cautiousness made him ask: "I can teach so many children, why am I? I have no experience, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

Xu Zhonglei waved his hand. This question is really not worth mentioning. By the way, he put a high hat on others, "It is a blessing for the children in our village that you are willing to teach. After decades of experience, it is their loss if they don't hear it. If they don't understand , they definitely didn’t listen carefully.”

Teaching and educating people is not a bad thing no matter what you hear, Xu Jinpeng agreed with some expectation, "If you say so, I will definitely teach well."

Xu Zhonglei was very excited, "Then my Xu Cheng can take another good class!"

He turned his head slightly, "By the way, Brother Zhiping, the children in our village don't know how to save potatoes and how to breed sweet potatoes. You can also teach me by the way? We are native farming people, so we must not be unable to grow land in the future. Teach your children It's teaching, and teaching a few is also teaching, and I will arrange classes for you when the class starts."

Reticent Xu Zhiping: Whatever you say is what you say, what else can I say after I have finished talking?

Xu Zhonglei has finalized a few courses and is waiting for a while to start.

As for whether the children in the village want to study, and whether they are willing to study, it is completely out of his consideration.

Children, have you seen any child who loves to learn?But learn to learn, sooner or later you will fall in love!
