The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

But if you use this amount of food to surrender to the villagers and gain the trust of the villagers, can't you get more food and more things in the future?Maybe they can be allowed to live in the village and accept the protection of the mountain god.

Zhou Yi and the others are now the same as the people in Lianhua Village, calling Big Black Bear the guardian of the mountain god. Of course, they also know that Lin Yang is the guardian of the mountain, and he can also drive the mountain god, so he dare not lie to Lin Yang's family for food , He didn't think his life was too long.

The distance between Lianhua Village and Leping County is not too far. Even if the people living in the county can't see the big black bear, but when the huge figure of the magic eagle flies over, countless people see it. For this kind of giant beast, there are almost no People have a rebellious mind.

What shocked them even more was the loud roar that followed. The sound was earth-shattering and scared the people living in the city to restless. The sound was so close that they knew it was not far away.

Many people fled to Leping County that day, but where they could go, nowhere in this world is safe. If there are giant beasts here, wouldn’t there be monsters in other places?So more people choose to stay.

After four or five days, the people who remained were terrified. After a huge beast roar swearing victory, the whole forest fell silent. Everyone knew that the battle was over, and the one who won was not the flying bird they had seen. The magic eagle that covers the sky and the earth is a monster that never shows up.

The unknown is the most frightening thing. The direction of the beast's roar has almost become the forbidden life zone for the city people. What's more, there is a group of deadly blood mosquitoes there. Anyway, no one wants to approach the direction of Changliu Town now. up.

But what is even more desperate is that, possibly because of the giant beast, the territory that the blood mosquitoes originally occupied has been relocated or expanded. Originally, Changliu Town only occasionally appeared blood mosquitoes, but now the entire town is occupied by blood mosquitoes.

Changliu Town is only half an hour's drive away from Leping County. Although it is no longer possible to drive, blood mosquitoes have wings. It probably takes less than half an hour for them to fly from the town to the county seat.

In addition, Leping County belongs to the Lianhua Mountains, where the plants are extremely lush and expanding very fast, so people living in the county had to move out. At first, they only moved to the new area of ​​the county, and then retreated to the villages near Leping County. Finally had to move to the direction of the city.

However, the farther they are from the Lotus Mountain, the more uncomfortable they will be, and they will not be able to breathe freely. Regardless of whether they understand it or not, most people now know that there are treasures in the Lotus Mountain, but it is useless to know, and no one dares to go in and take a look. .

What treasures does the Lotus Mountain have?

There is nothing to do on rainy days, and the people of Lianhua Village listened to the old people talking about ancient times in the conference room of the air-raid shelter, and they talked about the legend of Lianhua Mountain.

While stroking Youliang lying on his knees, Uncle Chunshan recalled: "The reason why Lianhua Mountain is called Lianhua Mountain is because there are large lotus flowers here, and the lotus pond connects to the sky, and the edge cannot be seen.

This lotus pond was planted by the gods and Buddhas in the sky. According to legend, it was to suppress the ghosts and monsters in the ground. At that time, there were many ghosts and monsters in this area, and people were miserable. The lotus will slowly disappear, so people changed the place names of this large area to be related to the lotus, such as Lotus Mountain, Lotus Land, Lotus City... Later, this area was collectively called the Lotus Mountain Range. Will be suppressed by Lotus. "

Well!The boundless lotus pond and lotus, how is this familiar?Lin Yang was thinking hard, and listening to Uncle Chunshan's story, he was suddenly reminded of everything he saw in the old forest three years ago. It's a bit like a lotus...

Is the legend of Uncle Chun Shan true?There is indeed a large lotus pond there, but now it has turned into a poisonous swamp, and the lotus is only left on the central island.

But if this is the case, do the suppressed demons and ghosts in the legend really exist?Lin Yang was horrified. If this was true, wouldn't their village be the most dangerous?

Lin Yang's heart was in a mess, and he didn't even know whether the legend was true or not. If it was true, then they were undoubtedly very dangerous, but it also showed that the lotus flowers in Lianhua Mountain were extraordinary; Their village can definitely live a stable life, but they have to find another way to solve the hidden dangers of their family's physical safety.

Lin Yang's face changed like a palette, Wenzhu Pai saw something was wrong, and asked concerned: "What are you thinking, why is your face so ugly?"

I still don't know if my guess is true, but Lin Yang urgently wants to tell Wenzhu: "Little pig, do you think the poisonous swamp I encountered before could be the legendary lotus pond? "

"Hetang, how is it possible?" Wen Zhu denied it at first, but when he thought of what Lin Yang told him before, his eyes widened immediately, with an expression of disbelief, and he murmured: "No way! What about the legend? Might be true."

If so!

But how to verify this legend?

"Probably not." After thinking for a while, Wen Zhu hesitated and shook his head: "Didn't you say that you rolled in the poisonous swamp several times, and you didn't know there were ghosts and ghosts down there?"

"No." After thinking for a while, Lin Yang was sure, and because the big boa constrictor was struggling so much at the time, he held its tail and went deep into the swamp at least ten meters deep, but he didn't feel anything other than the stench and discomfort. Special, but it is true that the deeper the poisonous swamp, the greater the toxicity in it.

"But is it possible that the legendary demons and ghosts are mutated or demonized things?" Lin Yang's thoughts suddenly diverged, "The lotus pond I saw turned into a poisonous swamp, which shows that the suppression effect of the lotus is already negligible..."

Wenzhu retorted: "You forgot, Zhou Yi said that they came from the north, and the north is not within the range of the Lianhua Mountains, but there are also demonization, animalization, and mutations. This situation is worldwide. Yes, Lianhuashan is not the only one."

It seems to be the same, Lin Yang nodded, but: "Has there been such huge animals as big black bears, magic eagles, and big wild boars in other places? It only takes half a year from the change of the world to their appearance, and half a year can make wild animals produce so much. Big change? I think the Lotus Mountain Range is still weird!"

Lin Yang's guess was right. Zhou Yi and the others went all the way south and found that people, animals, and plants all mutate, but there is absolutely no change as big as a big black bear. Their body size changes are generally controlled within 2~3 times, and their strength The changes are also in this range, but their cognition was not broken until they entered Guangnan Province.

At first they didn't notice the difference, until people from all over the world got together to discuss and found the difference.

The scholar's hometown is a coastal city, and his previous experiences were similar to those of everyone who survived now, high temperature, thunderstorms, and three-month drought, but none of these were the reasons that forced him to flee his hometown.

Living by the sea, there is no shortage of water anyway. Although there is a lot of unusable seawater in the sea, the technology of seawater separation has become more and more mature in recent years. In addition, he studied this major in university and specialized in this field after graduation. Therefore, although it was difficult during the high temperature in the early stage, it can barely survive.

But as time passed, the sea became more and more weird, the color of the sea water deepened, and the seafood he grew up from snacks to adults also became weird.

This kind of change is not the same as that on land. Animals on land will change in size at most, but animals in the sea will be fissioned and devoured. He has personally seen an octopus that is only half the height of a person suddenly split into a thumb. These small octopuses disperse and parasitize animals or humans in the sea, and then optimize their mutation through devouring. The scholar saw with his own eyes that those harmless octopuses easily devoured a person and turned into that person. There are a few tentacles, but that face is clearly a person.

The scholar was terrified and didn't dare to stay on the coast anymore, because no matter who he looked at, he felt like this kind of octopus man. He was scared to death every day, and he dared not stay any longer, so he wanted to run away, as far away as possible. Flee to a place where there is no sea water.

Zhou Yi and Scarface are fellow villagers, and their reasons are different from those of scholars: "We were similar to you in the early stage, but the reason why we fled south was because there was a storm surge in my hometown, and there were sandstorms every day, and the wind was so strong. It can blow bones, and tornadoes can even blow people into the sky, and you can still find food in your hometown, but we can only drink northwest wind when we stay there, so as long as we are alive, everyone will find a way to escape.”

There are 32 people in Zhou Yi's group, but only 20 went out with him this time, and the other 12 chose to stay because of health and other reasons. If Zhou Yi didn't force him, maybe there would be more people who chose to stay. , Who made this place so comfortable to stay in, so comfortable that they didn't want to leave at all.

Zhou Yi felt that if they stayed any longer, let alone 20 people, they probably wouldn't even be able to make up 10 people, so they left overnight after they borrowed food.

They took the road from Lianhua Village over the mountain to Min'an Town, because they are still in the protection area of ​​the big black bear, except the road is not easy to walk, everything else is going well, there are no other entertainment on the road, everyone is thinking Talk about the reasons why you ran away from home.

They have discussed it before, but every time the discussion is very heavy, unlike now, everyone can see the future and have hope to live, and it seems that it is not so uncomfortable to talk about their hometown.

"Shouhou, aren't you from Qinglin Mountain? Why did you run out? Isn't it similar to Lianhua Mountain?" Da Liu asked a thin man walking beside him. Since the world has changed, everyone is going higher and higher The big direction has changed, only Qin He's body is constantly shrinking, and he is almost like a monkey after turning into a beast, so everyone in the team calls him Skinny Monkey.

The name is just a code name. Although Qin He's body is thin and small, he is a very generous person at heart, and there is nothing he can't accept with this nickname. When people call him, he always agrees happily every time.

When someone asked him, Qin He nodded: "It's almost the same! But the monkeys over there are so powerful that we can't stay in our hometown. Who would have thought that it would be the same here."

He shook his head helplessly, and was even more terrifying, looking like a hill.

"What's so great about monkeys, can they suck blood or can they scare people to death like the guardian god of Lianhua Mountain?"

"Don't underestimate the monkeys. Anything in a group will be very scary. What's more, monkeys have high IQs. Dealing with them is probably more difficult than dealing with blood mosquitoes."

"That's right. The monkeys in Qinglin Mountain were very famous before. They were similar to bandits. Now they have mutated and become more domineering. They expel people when they see them. They can't stay in their hometown even if they want to."

"Tsk, looking at it this way, Lianhua Mountain seems to be pretty good. It would be great if there were fewer people." The person who said this didn't really mean that there are too many people, he just felt that the people in Lianhua Mountain, especially near Leping County, are crazy now. Well, burning this kind of thing is not something that everyone likes, they just want to live a peaceful life.

Zhou Yi was a leader at any rate, he said: "When those big gangs decide the outcome, it is estimated that they will be able to calm down and re-establish order."

It's just that it will be very chaotic before that. Now, people who come near Lianhua Mountain will know how good it is here. They can maintain their sanity here, and the pain of physical changes can be greatly relieved. This is just Leping County. If they let them Discovering Lotus Village...

Thinking of this, he solemnly warned everyone in the team: "Go out and shut your mouths tightly, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, you will understand the consequences yourself!"

It is known to the outside world that there may be nothing wrong with the protection of the big black bear in Lianhua Village, but they will definitely be blacklisted in Lianhua Village if they reveal this news.

Lin Yang didn't care what Zhou Yi and the others would change back. He was still thinking about the legend of Lianhua Mountain, but it was absolutely impossible for him to go to the Poison Swamp to verify it again.

He is curious, but his curiosity is very limited, and it is not enough to support his decision to go out for an adventure. He is thinking about things absently.

"Lin Yang, go get me a loofah." At this time, Wenzhu's voice came from the back room.

"Dad, Dad, I'll get it for you." Before Lin Yang stood up, Cheng Zi jumped up from the stool and ran all the way to the room where the loofah was kept. What an errand.

Tsk!Lin Yang saw the homework book of Orange on the table, like a ghostly talisman, probably because he didn't want to do the homework, so doing anything is better than sitting here and doing homework.

"Dad, Dad!" Lin Yang was looking at Cheng Zi's ghost symbols when he sneaked out of the small room, waved to Big Dad, and secretly said, "Dad, come here quickly."

"Why? Didn't you help Dad get the loofah?" Lin Yang raised his buttocks just after sitting down, and walked towards the orange.

"Dad, you hug me, I can't get it."

"Get out, go out and do your homework!" Lin Yang patted him on the head: "You don't need to take it, I just want to be lazy."

The loofah pulp was hung high on the wall, and the orange, a small radish, could not be reached even by stepping on the stool.

"No, Dad, you hug me." Cheng Zi persistently opened his hands for Dad to hug, anyway, he just didn't want to do his homework, so he could procrastinate for a while.

The old son's coquettish Lin Yang's father still eats, and he also knows that the little Cheng Zi wants him to reject him for a longer time, and then he will have an excuse not to do his homework, so when Cheng Zi spoke again, he hugged him Get up and let him remove the loofah on the wall.

Asparagus asked Lin Yang to take the loofah pulp not for washing, but to precipitate and absorb impurities in the water. Now the rain outside is almost colorless, and the water on the surface has all changed color. It is not impossible to drink water, but if you drink too much, the color of your body will darken quickly, and you will feel uncomfortable.

And they just discovered that the newly planted loofah has a filtering effect on water quality. Although the filtered water is still clear, it is very close to transparent. Therefore, like food, every household will plant a lot of loofah every year, and then before the rainy season comes. They take it back.

If it is not taken back into the house in time, the loofah flesh will come into contact with rainwater, and the filtering effect will be greatly reduced.

Most of what their family planted this year has already been taken back, only a few ungrown ones are left hanging on the vines, and the asparagus bamboo is simply not picked, anyway, their family is not bad for these few.

"Why did you take the loofah? You finished your homework." As soon as he saw Chengzi running over, Wen Zhu felt a headache and asked with a straight face.

Chengzi also pouted and was unhappy, and looked at her father in fear, and under the stern eyes of Wenzhu's father, said dejectedly: "There is still a little bit." Alas, my father said that I didn't praise my work.

The little bit in Cheng Zi’s eyes is definitely that he only wrote a little bit, and Wen Zhu knew him very well, so he quickly waved him away: “I know, I know, hurry up and finish that little bit, if you don’t finish it, you won’t be sure.” go out."

The vainly raised voice scared Xiao Zi, who was poking around in the room, she shrank her head back, ah, ah, no friends went out with it today.

It’s the rainy season soon, if you don’t go out now, you won’t be able to go out for a long time in the future, Xiao Zi turned her head, thinking that it’s not a good idea to stay at home and wait for them. His eyes rolled around twice, and he ran away with a rattling hoof.

Lin Yang didn't stop him even if he wanted to. He was going to burn bricks today, and he was going to ask Xiao Zi to help.

No matter how comfortable the air-raid shelter is, it is not as good as a separate house of your own. So in the past two or three years, everyone will burn bricks and tiles whenever they have time. Anyway, there is a lot of firewood cut from around the village, and they don’t know where to pile it up.

At the beginning, the purpose of burning bricks was to build a wall for the village. After the wall was built, I prepared bricks for building my own house. After three years, the wall of their village has been built to a height of ten meters, and every household has saved two or three houses. tile.

Lin Yang's house wasn't too damaged, so he seldom asked for bricks and tiles from the village. The main reason was that he didn't like bricks and tiles. He would rather go back to the wild world and spend his energy burning them. Isn't that better than the bricks in the village?

He pulled bricks today because he wanted to build a chicken shed for the chickens and ducks raised at home. In recent years, the chickens and ducks raised at home have become bigger and bigger. A random one weighs twenty or thirty kilograms. It is like an ostrich. The simple shed built with wood could not stand their toss, Lin Yang wanted to build it with bricks, otherwise he would spend two or three days chasing chickens and ducks around the abandoned factory without being tired or ashamed.

Asparagus went out with Lin Yang, Lin Yang was burning bricks, he was going to burn some charcoal, the rainy season was coming soon, the firewood at home was well prepared, but after the rainy season was the snow season, it would be more comfortable to burn some charcoal for the winter.

He went to the charcoal kiln owned by his family. In fact, almost every household has one. It is not very serious. It is built in the original fruit forest of his house.

The quality of the carbon kilns in each household is different, and the amount of carbon produced is also very different, but who cares, anyway, the mountains are full of trees, and they grow longer after being cut, and even the cut ones are not as fast as they grow, so they are burned casually. , As long as you don't set fire to the mountain, you can burn it however you want.

In addition to burning charcoal, the charcoal kiln also has the function of cleaning. The vegetation is expanding rapidly, and the cultivated area in the village is decreasing every year. In order to prevent this process of returning farmland to forests, everyone spends a lot of time cleaning every year. The grass and trees can't be thrown around casually.

Who made the current grass and trees have too much vitality, throwing them on the side of the road can take root the next day, so the weeds and trees they cleared from the fields every day have to be sent to charcoal kilns or brick kilns for burning, until they are burned to ashes. rest assured.

The charcoal kiln in their house was only cleaned a week ago, but looking at it now, weeds and vines have almost completely covered the charcoal kiln, and it looks like two graves from a distance.

The asparagus bamboo cut off the vines on the ground with a bone knife. The bone knife was very sharp, and it cut the purple green vine as thick as a hemp rope into two pieces.

Lin Yang poked his waist to watch the asparagus work, and saw asparagus using a bone knife and said suddenly: "Little pig, have you noticed that Zhou Yi and the others seem to be using knives, and their iron is not corroded?"

"No!" Asparagus stopped and thought about it: "There are very few people who use knives. Most people use wooden sticks and the like. The iron must have been corroded."

The ironware is corroded, and the firearms and the like must be seldom usable. Lin Yang has never met anyone with a gun until now, even when he entered the city. He thinks about himself, and he doesn't know how Can you catch bullets with your bare hands now?

Thinking of the plot in the movie, Lin Yang suddenly burst out laughing, but he couldn't laugh anymore after thinking about it. Iron and plastic can be corroded, which means that the cloth and cotton they asked Zhou Yi to help change is probably useless , In the past few years, the village has tried to grow cotton, but no one has grown it.

The climate here is not unsuitable for growing cotton, but now that the seeds are buried in the soil, they don't even sprout, no matter who grows them.As a result, everyone's clothes in the village are patch after patch. Lin Yang has even learned how to make a new one out of several old clothes in the past few years.

Lin Yang was thinking about new clothes, and the people in Lianhua Village had a new discovery about "clothes".

Although the big black bear drove away the group of strange birds three years ago, the group of squirrels in the forest were very bold, and they would come back from time to time to harass the people living in the abandoned factory.

No, the rainy season is coming soon, and the squirrels have to stockpile food, followed by several months of snow season, and they set their minds on the villagers again.
