The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

"Father is stupid!" He sighed faintly across from the bathroom diagonally across from Yuzu, "What should we do? From now on, big daddy will not only take care of us, but also take care of stupid dad."

"Huh?" Dad is stupid?Cheng Zi turned around to look at his father and the others, then turned back and asked his brother, "Is it stupid to bury your head in the water?" He also likes to hide in the water when he takes a bath, and by the way, his head is also in the water when he swims.

Youzi gave him a blank look, and didn't bother to answer the stupid brother's question at all. This idiot, alas, the family still depends on him, so he decided to eat two more bowls of rice. Thinking about it this way, it is more reasonable to put noodles in the bowl.

When Lin Yang didn't pay attention, half of the big bowl of noodles on the table went down, but now he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the fat boy on the table.

He asked Asparagus: "Did you touch anything other than that fungus just now?"

"No." After washing his face, Wenzhu felt his mind cleared up a lot, and he didn't have the urge to scratch his heart and lungs to see the little fungus outside. He wiped his hair with a dry towel, and his thoughts gradually became clear: "I After going out, I went to the old house to look for a stone mill, and when I found it, I started to wash it with water. I didn't touch anything else, but..."

He hesitated for a moment, then took a careful look at Lin Yang: "It was when I found this fungus that there was a cloud of black mist on the ground."

"Did you touch it?" Lin Yang was a little annoyed. He had said repeatedly before that the black mist was conscious and would stalk people. If he saw it and ran away, how dare he take the initiative to touch it.

"Just, just a little bit." Wenzhu also knew that he was too reckless. At that time, when his brain got hot, he kicked up. It was also because of this kick that he discovered that there were fungus growing underneath, and his mind was confused.

Lin Yang decided to go to the place where Asparagus found the black mist. There were two children in their family. If this kind of black mist got in, it would be too dangerous, and the miscellaneous firewood that Wenzhu brought back was stuffed into it by the two of them. A fire burned in the stove.

The fathers ran around without eating, but the twins ate happily. It was so comfortable. They could eat as much as they wanted. If they wanted to add chili sauce, they could add chili sauce. With the topping cooked in tomato sauce, the whole bowl is red.

Chengzi looked at Yuzi's bowl of noodles with a little fear, and shouted at him: "Are you crazy? Dad said that eating too much chili will make your stomach hurt."

"Hmph, don't worry about it, it's not spicy at all." Although he said so, Yuzu was still very cautious. He first tasted a little with chopsticks carefully, then smashed it twice, his eyes lit up, hehehe, it was really good eat.

"Is it delicious?" Cheng Zi leaned over and wanted to taste the pomelo when he saw the way he was eating big mouthfuls: "Brother, give me a bite, brother, give me a bite! One bite, just one bite."

Spoiled ghost, sycophant, Yuzu finally succumbed to Chengzi's entanglement, and Xiaoxiao gave him a chopstick.

The fathers completely forgot to eat, and the two of them were well armed. Originally, Lin Yang didn't want Wenzhu to come with him, but just as he was worried about Wenzhu, Wenzhu didn't worry about him, so the two decided to come together after discussing .

While wearing the bamboo hat, Lin Yang suddenly remembered to ask Wen Zhu, "Did you get wet in the rain just now?" His clothes were a little wet, definitely not from washing his face.

"Yes, yes!" Wen Zhu lowered his head guiltily. He originally used an umbrella to wash the stone mill just now, but he felt that using an umbrella was too much of a hindrance while washing. Something went wrong, so I thought it would be okay to get a little rain today.

"It has something to do with the rain?"

Lin Yang pointed to the color that hadn't dissipated on the ground: "I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but you must have been soaked in colorless rain just now. The color of the ground should be black, or is it purple-black?"

"But I checked carefully before going out, and the rain is colorless."

"What's so strange about this? When the sun came out, the sun was still changing color."

What Lin Yang was talking about was the purple sunshine at that time. This thing was like a lottery, but whoever was unlucky was drawn by the purple sunshine.It’s the same with the rain that’s falling in the sky now. The colorless and transparent rainwater falls well, but suddenly a few colored drops come, and you don’t know when it changed. This kind of rain falls into the water tank , the whole tank of water is wasted.

Asparagus is still puzzled. People in the village have also been drenched in purple rain before, but the reaction doesn't seem to be as serious as his. It feels more like psychological discomfort.

"But today you were not only exposed to the rain but also to the black mist, and you also touched that black fungus."

"I didn't touch that black fungus." Wen Zhu retorted, and he accepted the others, but he really didn't do the latter one.

"It's a good thing you didn't touch it, otherwise you don't know what will happen."

Lin Yang led the asparagus around the house, but found no black mist, but found a lot of small mushrooms that had just grown, white, purple, black, and brownish yellow, which looked the same as they usually do on the mountain The ones picked are almost the same, especially the white ones, which look exactly like straw mushrooms, but the difference is that just looking at them makes my mouth water.

They didn't dare to eat it, and even shoveled the place where they found mushrooms, and set fire to them to prevent them from growing again in the future.

Wenzhu followed Lin Yang to help, but found something wrong as he walked, "Lin Yang, do you need to change the formation stones you arranged in our house, I can't feel the Fengshui formation at home now."

Lin Yang stood up and sensed it, and suddenly realized: "Yes, it's broken, it's the place where the old house collapsed."

Having lived in the abandoned factory for a long time, he has completely forgotten that there were formation stones around their house before. Although this thing does not seem to be good for people, it is not harmful to arrange it. In addition, there is a vegetable garden around the house. People are useless but growing vegetables is very good.

There used to be Feng Shui arrays around their house, but after moving to the abandoned factory, he didn't set them up. He was used to the environment without magic arrays, and he didn't sense or notice them when he came back twice.

Because it is just replacing one of the stones, there is no need to rearrange it, asparagus bamboo can be made, but the moment the replacement is made, the two of them noticed the subtle difference, and the restlessness and boredom in their hearts seemed to be swept away And empty, the mind becomes clearer.

After the two felt it quietly for a while, Wenzhu said: "You said, is it because the feng shui circle is broken that the cloud of black mist came to our house?"

Although it was a question, the two felt that this was the answer.

After checking inside and out and eliminating all potential safety hazards, the two returned to the house to wash their hands and eat.

The danger at the door of the house has been exposed, but Lin Yang and Wenzhu are not in a good mood. Their home can be maintained with a feng shui array, but what about other people in the village? , and it is not enough for one family in the village.

Even if it is enough, Lin Yang is unwilling to do this. He can save one person or a few people, but he can't save everyone. Human nature is evil. He saved it for the first time, but if he can't continue to save all the situations that arise in the future, those who are Not only will the rescuers not thank him, but they will also resent him, but in fact, can he guarantee that he can rescue everyone? No, now, he can't even guarantee these few in his own family.

No matter how much worry was in the room, the two little fat men collapsed on the chairs beside the dining table and remained motionless. Holding a noodle in his mouth, he sucked and sucked it.

Looking at the big bowl of noodles, it was a whole bowl. Lin Yang was shocked. The two little ones ate at least a catty and a half of wet noodles.

"Dad, Dad." Cheng Zi clutched her belly guiltily, shrunk her small body back hard, but how could that round belly be hidden.

Even if Wenzhu didn’t know how much the two children ate, but when they saw their stomachs, how could they not understand, I wanted to scold, but it was because the family had eaten too little during this time; I wanted to laugh, but felt distressed; Let's fight, I can't do it myself.

Forget it, Wenzhu looked at them helplessly: "I'll go get some Xiaoshi tablets."

"Dad, I don't take medicine." Cheng Zi saw that his father didn't seem angry, so Xiaomao started shaking: "Dad, I want to eat hawthorn, the sweet and sour one."

Their family also has hawthorn slices, which are dried by themselves, and are usually used to make tea, but because there were not many dried last year, there are not many now, so asparagus is used sparingly, and they are generally not taken out. After drinking it a few times, this little fat man fell in love with him.

"Eat, eat, can you still eat?" Wenzhu carried him off the chair, "Stop sitting, come out for a walk, look at your little belly, is there any kid in the village who is fatter than you, shame on you Not ashamed?"

"My brother is fatter than me." Before they came out, they were weighed, so Cheng Zi knew that his brother was a catty and a half heavier than him, to be precise, 8 taels per catty.

"You are better than your brother."

"That's enough." It's enough to be better than his brother, Cheng Zi's bottom line is just that low.

Wenzhu couldn't say no to him, let him go by himself, patted his little butt, and repeatedly emphasized: "Don't be lazy and stop, and don't walk too fast, be honest."

Lin Yang hugged the grapefruit on the other side, feeling a little sad: "I don't want to eat the grapefruit. If you like it, Dad will make it for you tomorrow."

"Well, thank you dad." Yuzu was very polite even though he had a big watermelon in his stomach. Things, with a nimble little tongue, cleaned up all the last sauce, didn't even need to wipe it, and after getting off the chair, I didn't need my father to help me walk, and I took a walk in the corridor by myself.

If it wasn't for the fact that the twins ate too much, Lin Yang would have been very happy because his craft was popular with the children.

Alas, Lin Yang sighed, and said to Asparagus who kept looking at the children, "It's because our usual diet is too vegetarian, and we're missing them."

"Everyone is like this." Wenzhu was very helpless: "Our family has already done well, and occasionally we can eat some fresh cabbage. Many people in the village have rotten mouths because they haven't eaten vegetables for too long."

The way people in the village supplement vitamins is to rely on the sweet potato vines and some side dishes that were planted in the air-raid shelter before, but as these were moved outside and the color of the leaves changed, they dared not eat them.

"By the way, what do you think we should kill a chicken tomorrow?" Lin Yang suggested, since the holidays are coming soon, we just have a good meal.

Their family gave eggs to Chen Jianmin's mother to help hatch 10 chicks, 5 ducklings and [-] goslings each, and sent them all to the Great Wilderness World for stocking. But because of poor breeding, half of the chickens died, and there were two ducks left, but one of the geese survived, and they all lived well.

Asparagus thought carefully for a while, then hesitated and said, "Is the biggest of those chickens weighing 1 catty?"

Lin Yang didn't care: "Then eat it like a pigeon."

"Can you avoid those people in the village?"

Lin Yang was discouraged: "It seems impossible." Unless he is willing to tell everyone the biggest secret of his family, but that is impossible.

This time it was Wenzhu's turn to comfort him: "I will cook more dried fish a few times these days." However, he was also a little distressed, as there were not many dried fish at home, and at most it was only enough to cook two or three meals.

He fished these small dried fish from Xiaolian Lake and dried them. Because of his poor technique, not many of them succeeded in drying them. They were more than a dozen catties. He had to laugh out loud three times out of ten. Come.

The time dragged on for too long, and the two had to reheat the dishes. Although they were leftovers, Lin Yang felt that the noodles he made were very delicious, flexible and elastic, and had the fragrance of chestnuts. They tasted very smooth and refreshing , No wonder the twins can't stop eating.

After eating, they realized that the two of them, like the twins, had rounded their stomachs unconsciously. Asparagus stroked his stomach, with faint thoughts in his eyes, he touched Lin Yang who was also sitting and resting with his feet.

Lin Yang half-closed his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Do you feel that our family's food consumption is getting faster and faster? Our family used to have 5 catties of food a day, but after the weather changed, you eat more and more. You alone have to eat 10 catties a day. Now I feel like our family of four has to eat a little thirty."

"Are there so many?" Lin Yang opened his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

However, he thought about the bag of noodles he kneaded just now, and it seemed to be quite a lot. The cloth bag was a 10-jin flour bag, and most of the bag was filled with chestnuts. After removing all kinds of chestnut shells and impurities, there must be at least 3 catties of chestnuts. Adding two large bowls of sticky flour, mixed with water and the noodles, it should be no problem to lose 10 catties, but now, when he got up and walked to the stove, there was only a small handful of noodles left in the basket. That small handful is probably enough for one person to eat oranges.

If you look at it this way, they made 10 catties less food for just one meal. Although it may be because they eat too late for lunch and the small dried fish is more suitable for dinner, there is no doubt that their food intake has indeed increased.

"Not only our family, but people in the village often complain that food is eaten too fast recently. At first I thought it was because everyone didn't have enough oil and water, so we needed to eat more, but we guys have always had better food, but you, me, and There are twins who eat more and more recently, especially since we haven’t done any heavy work at home, and we still feel hungry when it’s time to eat.”

Asparagus stopped stroking his stomach, and his expression was a little surprised: "I just thought I couldn't hold it anymore, but now," he hesitated, drooling while looking at the stove, "I feel like I'm going to eat that handful of noodles too." I can finish it."

Lin Yang also touched his stomach, as if, as if he was not very full either.

Look at the twins outside the house again. When they first got off the dinner table, they couldn't even walk, but now they are jogging and chasing after each other.

Their digestive capacity is greatly increased.

Apart from more food consumption, this change seems to have no other advantages or disadvantages for the time being. After a discussion, the two put this matter aside.

They came out this time not only for festivals and ventilation, but also to grind out chestnut noodles, but because of new discoveries, they have to prepare more and more chestnut noodles.

With 20 catties of grain a day, it would cost 600 catties a month. This is not counting the gap that will continue to grow in the future. If this is the case, the food for their family is estimated to last for more than a year or two.

Lin Yang is really a little worried now. It turned out that he was developing the Great Wilderness at a leisurely pace, thinking that planting some trees would be enough, but now with such a calculation, the food crisis is imminent.

Lin Yang was in charge of grinding chestnut noodles. Wen Zhu threw aside the dried chestnuts brought out from the cellar and squeezed his arms. He felt that his strength had also increased. He used to be tired and out of breath after carrying a bag weighing more than 100 kilograms. , I was carrying the same weight just now, but now I am relaxed like a normal person.

It turns out that great strength is such a feeling.

He walked up to Lin Yang and stretched out his hand to make gestures with him, but just as he stretched out his hand, Lin Yang grabbed him and couldn't move. If you can't pull you, have you become stronger?"

Lin Yang moved his body: "I don't know, I don't feel anything."

Asparagus didn't care, and looked around, all the dried chestnuts in the cellar had been brought up, but why did I always feel that something was missing, what was it?

"By the way, oil! There is no oil at home. I will peel out that bag of peanuts later." He asked Lin Yang, "Can this stone mill extract oil?"

"Impossible!" Lin Yang scratched his head: "Peanuts are sent directly to the oil mill, and our family has finished all the oil squeezed this year?"

"There is still a barrel of tea seed oil left, but don't you guys don't like to eat that? There is still a bottom of the bottle of peanut oil. If you don't squeeze the oil, you will have nothing to eat." Asparagus cooks a lot at home, so he knows all about it.

"It's all up to you. When I used peanuts to extract oil at the beginning of the new year, I said I would take them all over. You insisted that it would not be good to squeeze them all at once, and you should eat fresh ones. Now it's fine. It's fresh enough. Let's eat them together with the shells."

Lin Yang rubbed his head and murmured, "It's really not fresh, the oil squeezed out for half a year is already the most he can bear, alas!Who would have thought that now.

He tried to stand up for himself: "Then there is tea seed oil, eat that, tea seed oil is more expensive!" Because their tea seed oil is also sold online, so the tea seeds that were taken back were taken back at the beginning. It's all squeezed, more than 100 catties, but it shouldn't sell much. This stuff is purely expensive, and the sales are not good, and the sales are very slow.

Wenzhu snorted: "I'm fine, but you three always say it's not delicious."

"It doesn't matter, let's eat first." Lin Yang waved his hand.

"By the way, is there enough salt at home? I saw that there was only a little bit in the jar when I was cooking today."

"It was displayed for people to see. Recently, people in the village have been coming to borrow salt. I only take out the amount for one meal each time."

Asparagus carefully calculated the remaining salt at home: "The salt stored at home should be saved, it should be no different from the food, and when the food runs out, we will have no salt to eat.
