Survive through the ancient apocalypse

After lunch, Ye Mingze took Jiang Jingzhi to the edge of the seawater pool, and took out the bucket containing live fish from the space.Since he didn't know whether he could feed the sea fish, Ye Mingze only took out half of it, and kept the remaining half of the seafood in the space. He would decide whether to kill it or eat it later.

Previously, crystal plants were planted in the seawater pool. Crystal plants are special and will not be affected by the special substances brought by the red rain, so the purification of the pool water was not prioritized.

This time, in order to breed marine life, the seawater has been treated in advance, so that Ye Mingze can safely stock the sea fish in the pool.

The batch of seafood that Ye Mingze got contained more or less special substances brought by the red rain in their bodies, and they needed to be purified by supernatural beings before eating.Right now, there are not enough manpower just to purify the fields, so we can only feel sorry for everyone to use less fresh seafood first, and after the soil is purified, they can be eaten openly.

It didn't take long for Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi to pour all the sea fish, shrimp, and crab into the seawater pool.After the incident, the two went to check the construction progress of Ye's greenhouse.

Ye Mingze is now only responsible for moving some heavy materials, such as stones, from the place of production to the construction site, and he doesn't care about the rest.As the master, he doesn't need to do the farm work himself, so Ye Mingze still has a lot of time now.

Not only Ye Mingze, Ye Mingze's family has completely separated from all kinds of farm work.Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang's two brothers and brother-in-law Li Zhuang are in charge of patrolling. The work is relatively easy, and they only need to pay attention to the birds.

His father, Ye Zewu, is in charge of farming, and he only needs to make suggestions and checks.Others are doing management and other tasks. Except for the cumbersome things, they are still relatively easy.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi would visit the fields almost every day. After all, food is too important for them to take it lightly.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the busy scene of building a greenhouse.The area of ​​the conservatory built this time is larger than the previous one. Not only windows are opened on the wall, but also skylights are opened on the roof.The later ones are generally better than the first ones, and this is the case for greenhouses. On the basis of the previous ones, the lighting is better, while maintaining the original durability.

There are not many people on the side of building the greenhouse, and most of the Ye family's manpower is used in the construction of the simple greenhouse.Greenhouses are built from south to north, but simple greenhouses are just the opposite, built from north to south.

Most of the people who built the house did heavy physical work, Ye Mingze did not treat them badly, not only made them full, but also made them eat well as much as possible.The entire Ye family village, only the Ye family has this ability.

Other families in Yejia Village don't have the ability to provide such a good meal. It's good for them to have a full meal at noon.This year's grain harvest is still far away. They want to save some grain for the future. They can't just focus on the present and ignore the future, right?

If it weren't for the lack of energy to work if you don't eat enough, many people probably wouldn't even be willing to eat a dry meal.For the poorer families, if you don’t do physical work, save food and try to feed the strong laborers as much as possible, so as not to progress too slowly and fail to complete the minimum requirements before the next winter break.

You know, many things are like this, the poor get poorer, and the rich get richer.

why?Not to mention that in modern times money begets money, and profits are revolving. Let’s just say that the Daxing Dynasty has more people and more fields, so there will be more food naturally. The excess food is sold for silver in exchange for more fields. In this way, a landlord is formed.Not to mention how rich life is, at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing. The whole family can stay at home and do whatever they want.

The same is true for the poor. The poorer you are, the more you have to run around for your livelihood. The poorer you are, the less you dare to change the status quo easily.

After all, there are only a small number of people with such courage, so most of the poor still live a life of hunger and food. Only a few succeed in making a fortune, or become landlords, or become wealthy businessmen.

Most people are like this. To put it nicely, it means to be content with the status quo, but to put it bluntly, it means not to make progress.As for how to look at it, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and others have no chance to comment.

As the greenhouses built one after another are put into use, it is foreseeable that the grain output will increase.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi didn't stop at the conservatory, they looked around and walked towards the simple conservatory.

The number of simple greenhouses is obviously much more than that of greenhouses. After all, greenhouses are built later and there are fewer manpower.

In order not to make the craftsmen rush back and forth, and to save some time for everyone to rest, Ye Mingze directly sent someone to transport the lunch to the construction site.Not only is it full, but meat is also provided every other day or two.

After one or two months, the shiny skin that had been cultivated for a winter became very rough for both men and women.This problem can't be solved by doctors, because everyone's labor load this year is heavier than any previous year.

There is no other way. I can work in the fields for only a few months in a year. If I don’t hurry up, I won’t be able to build a certain number of greenhouses when the dripping water turns into ice. I guess eating will be a problem next year.So all of them are trying their best like chasing a tiger behind them. That's really hard work.

The Ye family is not so far, but it is not easy.Based on the principle of doing as much as you can, the Ye family all consciously want to do more work.

After turning around, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi strolled home.

"Mingze, our family has the most hands. Up to now, only half of them have been built. Then the progress of other families is estimated to be even slower. Everyone's life is not easy this year." Jiang Jingzhi is a little worried.

"This year is the hardest, and it will be fine until next year's winter break." Ye Mingze understood it very well, but he couldn't help it. His family didn't have enough hands to help the villagers.Since he couldn't help, Ye Mingze put the problem in the back of his mind, "After a few days, I will allocate some people to help my father-in-law and the others, and try to build a few greenhouses for each relative before the cat winter."

The time to build a greenhouse is more than twice that of a simple greenhouse, so the villagers build almost all simple greenhouses.There is no way, after all, there is only one reason - lack of manpower.This problem is conditional and cannot be solved at all.Because families with more people need to build more greenhouses, no matter how they count, there are not enough people.

Unless you have the ability to provide materials and hire short-term and long-term workers to help.According to Ye Mingze's guess, some forces in Yangshan County can do it, but not every force is willing to take food as reward.The balance between what is in front of you and what you may get in the future depends on each person's choice.Whether it is good or bad, everyone has to bear their own responsibility.

Jiang Jingzhi was not worried about this. He had discussed it with Ye Mingze earlier and knew his plan. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know what's going on in other places, but don't make trouble."

"Yangshan County is not big. After the snowstorm and earthquake, nearly half of the staff was lost. Last year's cold winter, it is estimated that some people will not be able to survive. The population is getting smaller and smaller. There are only so few people. Even if there is a dispute, it is not a big one. Everyone cherishes their lives. No one is willing to give up their lives unless it is absolutely necessary. As for the specifics, I can find out when I go to the city to visit Mr. Ye in a few days." The leaders of the larger forces in Yangshan County are quite rational, and Ye Mingze believes that they will not It will make a mess of its own jurisdiction.

After chatting for a while, Ye Mingze simply recruited the killer whale, and the two of them flew back to the Ye family's main house in a killer whale speed car.

Lin Wenjue and his wife both have things to do, Jiahui Jiayao and Lin Xiu are both in Jiang's room.Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi's room was freezing cold. After they returned home, they didn't let the masters burn the kang to save trouble, so they simply took the ledger and stayed in Jiang's room, not delaying their private and business affairs.

Regardless of the fact that the two of them don't need to go to the fields, there are quite a lot of accounts that they need to check every day.The stewards record the things they are responsible for in detail in the ledger, and then make a summary.Some need to report every day, some need to report every ten days or even once a month, it all depends on what is in charge.

The Ye family has clear rewards and punishments. The rewards and punishments of more than 500 people need to be checked one by one. The task is not light.Fortunately, the positions are different, and the time for settlement of rewards and punishments is staggered. Otherwise, they are all concentrated in one or two days. It is estimated that only Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi may be too busy.

This day is an ordinary day, just need to clean up the daily accounts, and the two of them will finish their work soon.Jiang Jingzhi closed the ledger and went to the kang to play with the children.

When Jiahui Jiayao saw Jiang Jingzhi, he didn't play anything else, and walked towards him staggeringly.

"Dad, ah ah"

The voices of the two little guys were extremely vague, and Jiang Jingzhi could barely hear them clearly after distinguishing them carefully.He held the children in his arms and kissed their foreheads one by one.He and Ye Mingze have been busy with things recently, and the time spent with the children has been greatly reduced. No wonder the sons are like a cat that smells of fish when they see him, sticking to him and refusing to get off.

Ye Mingze was a step late, he put the accounts in order and put them back in his room before getting on the kang.

"Come on, Huihui, Yaoyao, call 'Father'." The children are just learning to speak, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi don't have much time during the day, and the little ones go to bed early at night, so there is not much time to teach them how to speak , The two of them saw each other, and taught them to speak whenever they had the opportunity.

"Father, father, hug."

Does this count as self-taught?No one specifically taught them to pronounce the word 'hug', it's just an accompanying word in normal speech, the little ones learned it first, although the accent was vague, they really said the word 'hug'.

"After teaching for so long, I finally made some progress." Ye Mingze picked up his eldest son and kissed his forehead as if rewarding him.

"Well, I guess it's about time. Jiahui Jiayao has spoken a lot more neatly in the past two days. Some syllables that he couldn't pronounce in the past can barely be heard now. It doesn't take long before he can clearly understand It's amazing." There was a smile on Jiang Jingzhi's eyes and eyebrows, and his whole person seemed to give people a warm feeling.

Ye Mingze looked at his little son's expectant eyes, he didn't favor one person over another, but after a while, Jiayao got a little anxious, and then touched his little son's forehead like a dragonfly.

The child is too young to feel his father's narrowness.After getting the kiss, Jiayao beamed happily, showing his newly grown white teeth like rice grains.Ye Mingze felt a little regretful. From then on, he could no longer say that the little guys were toothless.

Jiahui Jiayao was satisfied, supported the bodies of his fathers, swayed and started to learn to walk again.The little ones have been learning to walk for a while, and now they seem to be walking unsteadily, which is much better than when they first started.

There are five children in the family, including Jiahui Jiayao. They are all well-raised, white and tender, and it can be seen at a glance that they haven't done much work.After all, Li Xuedu, the oldest, is only over six years old. At this age, even Ye Mingze, who can be ruthless, can't bear to be too harsh, let alone his parents, grandparents, and grandparents.

Now you can let the children play around, and when they get older, they will have to learn some real skills.

Especially in a chaotic world like now, if something happened to the Ye family, and he didn't have any skills, it would be a bit difficult to survive.

Both Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi believe that the more skills they master, the better. As for whether they can use them in the future, or simply learn and not use them, that is the children's own choice, and they will not interfere.

Jiahui Jiayao got enough of being sticky around his fathers, and turned around to play with Lin Xiu and the other three again.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi looked at each other and smiled, they didn't say much, they just protected a few people by the kang.

Since Jiahui Jiayao was able to crawl and walk, and was able to produce a few monosyllables, under the influence of the two, Lin Xiu was no longer as quiet as before, and the smiles on his face gradually increased.

Sure enough, it is better for children to play with children. With friends, even though they don't understand what each other is talking about, they can still communicate without any obstacles.This is the world of children, adults will not understand.

It gets dark late in summer, and even though this summer is like winter, the days are just as long.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Ye Mingze took out three small yellow croakers and asked Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang to deliver them to his uncle, aunt and grandfather, while he and Jiang Jingzhi cleaned up, and took the sons to his father-in-law's house for dinner.

There was no advance notice, so Ye Mingze's family of four had to leave early, lest when they arrived, Jiang's family would have eaten dinner.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingyi hugged one, dragged the baby to stand on the killer whale, and quickly walked towards Jiang's house.

Jiahui Jiayao was wrapped in a small quilt, but he stared at the killer whales and dolphins without blinking, and even his body was leaning towards the spiritual body.The little ones are curious.

The children were still young, so they couldn't tell whether they were sentinels or guides, but their bodies were indeed very good. They were less than one year old, and when they were weak, they seldom got sick.

Ye Mingze signaled the killer whale to slow down. He bent down and asked Jiahui to touch it with his little hand. The little guy was so excited that the quilt almost fell off.Ye Mingze comforted him for a long time before calming him down.My brother has already done this, how can I lose my brother?Jia Yao also came again.

Fortunately, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi are both strong and strong people, otherwise, how could they stand up to the children?

Ye Mingze didn't bring anyone with him when he went out this time, only a family of four. For the sake of safety, after satisfying his son's small request, Ye Mingze didn't delay any longer and let the killer whale speed up.

Jiang's house was not far away, and Ye Mingze and the others arrived in just a short while.

At this time, most of the families were preparing dinner, and the Jiang's kitchen was relatively close to the gate. Ye Mingze took out all the prepared things, put his son in the stroller, and went to the kitchen with the ingredients.

Jiang Jingzhi pushed the baby carriage and followed behind.

At this time, the people working outside hadn't come back yet, and there were only people choosing vegetables at the kitchen door in the yard.

During the day, the door was half open, and when the little girl heard the noise, she realized that it was her elder cousin Jiang Jingzhi and the others.

"Uncle, brother and brother Mingze are here." The little girl hurriedly washed her hands and led them into the kitchen.

As soon as Jiang's mother heard the news, she hurriedly finished the work at hand, and handed over the rest to the niece who was helping her.She stepped forward to take the rice, noodles, vegetables and meat from Ye Mingze's hand, and said, "Mingze, I brought a lot this time. Hey, I won't say more, and I also know that as long as we stay in Yejia Village for one day, we will inevitably have a lot of food. You take care of it. Fortunately, the family members know what is good and what is bad, so it is not a waste of effort to accept your love."

Jiang's mother paused, and then continued: "It's my turn to take care of the three meals today. The family is busy. Except for a few children, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law are at home. You go to the hall to have a meeting first. I will let my father-in-law go to accompany you." You talk."

There was no heating facility in the main room, so Mother Jiang took out some charcoal and lit a brazier.

There was no need for someone to call, the old man Jiang came out to entertain guests when he heard the sound.

It was almost dinner time, they were all from our own family, Jiang's mother was not polite to Ye Mingze, she didn't serve any snacks, she only served a bowl of candied date tea, brought some snacks and ignored them, and continued to work on dinner.

They don't pay much attention now, and Mrs. Jiang also came out to meet the guests.

Since the brazier had just been lit, it was relatively cold in the main room. Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi were afraid that their sons would be frozen, so they did not remove their quilts.Jiahui Jiayao protested a few times, seeing that he was unsuccessful, he groaned a few times, then stopped doing futile work and looked around with his dark eyes.

There are two great-grandsons of Mrs. Jiang, Jiahui and Jiayao. Now the youngest child in Jiang's house is close to ten years old. From last year to now, the weather is cold, and the little ones rarely come here, whether it is Mrs. Jiang or Mrs. Jiang , with smiles on their faces.

Jiang Jingzhi simply put the children back in the stroller and pushed them in front of the two elderly people.Hug as much as you want, it's fun to tease the children if you can't hold it, isn't it?

After all, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are old. They were pampered before, but they were exiled when they got old.Although most of the farm work is done by the children, they can't just watch the children work hard for the family and do nothing themselves, can they?

Neither of them is such a person, but they are determined but powerless. After all, they are used to being rich and old, so they can only do some light work.

Jiang Jingzhi also knew that his grandfather and grandmother had suffered some physical losses over the years, and he put the sons in the stroller because he was afraid that they would want to hold them for a while.

After teasing the children for a while, Mrs. Jiang got down to business: "Mingze, respectfully, the situation is not very optimistic! Let's forget about my family. Whether it is good or bad, you have the backing of your Ye family. Other villagers don't have this kind of treatment. I After calculation, even if this year is the same as last year, the winter break will be completely entered at the end of October and the beginning of November, and there are still more than three months to go, judging from the current progress, this time is not enough."

"Let's take a look at that time. We won't be able to watch people starve to death. Besides, it has not reached this point. As long as there is enough firewood, it is no problem to build a simple greenhouse to produce two seasons of food a year. In my family's According to experience, the lighting of simple greenhouses is better than that of previous greenhouses.

Well, the yield per mu should be higher.If the villagers save some food, it should not be difficult to survive until next year.Moreover, after the first batch of harvest, they will see hope. Even if some families are really poor, the people close to them are willing to borrow food

of. "Ye Mingze had a good idea. When people saw that the people who borrowed money from them were able to repay them, most of them were still willing to give charcoal in a timely manner. Most of them refused to borrow because they felt that they had no hope of repaying the money, and they were afraid of borrowing money. The supplies were in vain.

The situation now is different from before, no matter which one, there is a sufficient number of fields.As long as you don't eat too much and be lazy, if you work harder this year, it will be easier to survive until next year.

"Well, yes, every family has relatives and friends, and no family is completely isolated and helpless. As long as the character is not too bad, it is feasible for others to help out occasionally." Mr. Jiang has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows people's hearts very well. As long as there is no hope at all, there is still love between people when it comes to the point of life and death.

"Grandfather, why didn't you see them to congratulate them?" Jiang Jingzhi came and had a meeting. In the past, if the younger brother knew about it, he would be the first to come out to meet him.

"Isn't it because they want to help? Everyone over the age of ten is with the boss and the others on the other side of the field." The old man Jiang warmed his hands with a teacup, and said in a distressed tone, "Don't worry too much, your father and the others have sense and will watch For the younger ones, don’t let them do heavy physical work. They are still growing their bodies, and if they do it too early, they won’t grow taller. It’s just that the temperature is low, and their hands and feet are a little cold.”

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi glanced at each other, they were a little negligent in this matter.

"Grandfather, Jingzhi and I came here this time to tell you that Maodong came to help you build a few greenhouses in the backyard. I wanted you to move behind my uncle and the others and build a new house, but you see If it doesn’t work out this year, let’s just make do with it and wait until next year to move. At that time, everyone will live together, so we can take care of each other. Do you think so?” Ye Mingze said what he had originally planned, and also Good peace of mind for the Jiang family.

"You can figure it out. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you change the house or not, but the fields are all over there. Since the simple greenhouses have gradually been put into use, each family has to get some people to live there to burn the fire wall. It is indeed closer. It's better." Mrs. Jiang thought for a while, and felt that the advantages of moving to the vicinity of Ye's house did outweigh the disadvantages, so he agreed.

Jiahui Jiayao played with Mrs. Jiang for a while, then turned his head and yelled for his fathers to hug him.

At this time, the main room became warmer.Jiang Jingzhi picked up Jiahui, took off the blanket, put a coat on him, and put him in Ye Mingze's arms.Later, Ge Jiayao did the same.The little ones got their hands and feet free, happily hugging their fathers, yelling "Dad, father".

Before they chatted for a long time, the Jiang family who were away returned to Jiang's house one after another.

Seeing Jiang Jingzhi's family coming, the happiest thing is Jiang Jingzhi's three younger siblings, especially the youngest Jiang Jinghe.After washing his hands and face, he didn't care to say hello to Jiang's mother, so he surrounded Jiang Jingzhi and teased his nephews from time to time, having a great time.

Recently, Jiang's family eats in their own rooms. It is rare that all four of Ye Mingze's family are there, so the banquet is arranged in the main room instead.

Every time Ye Mingze and the others came over, there was fish and meat at home, no wonder the children were so happy every time they saw Ye Mingze.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner.Ye Mingze's family sat down after dinner and bid farewell to their father-in-law.Mother Jiang sent them all the way to the gate, and did not turn back into the house until they could no longer see the shadow of the eldest son.

The main purpose of Ye Mingze's visit this time is to send some freshly caught seafood to the Jiang family.

Don't look at the smooth sailing that Ye Mingze took people out to sea this time, it was because there were whales escorting them.If the villagers really go to sea by themselves, the danger is not small.

Before the red rain, there were groups of whales swimming in the waters near Yejia Village. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, the boats should be careful to avoid them.It's different now, even ordinary schools of fish may explode and hurt people.Without a certain amount of force, the villagers dare not go into the sea easily.

It can be said that opportunities and risks coexist in the sea. People not only have to be careful of catastrophic marine climate, but also pay attention to marine life everywhere, for fear of being attacked if they are not careful.

All in all, it is getting harder and harder to eat seafood.

Ye Mingze is also worried about the problem of fishing boats and nets.He is a fifth-level sentinel himself, and he wants to come to the sea to reach the fifth level.For the sake of safety, it is better to rebuild a fishing boat with five-level heterophytes as wood.Fishing nets also had to be reworked.

After arriving home, the little ones were a little drowsy, so they settled down first, and then the two began to take care of themselves.

Without further ado, since he had an idea, Ye Mingze began to turn the plan into reality.

Early the next morning, Ye Mingze led all the five-level sentinel guides of the Ye family into the back mountain to look for five-level alien plants.

A while ago, two more sentinel guides were promoted to level five. Including the newly promoted two, the Ye family has a total of three pairs of sentinel guides.

This time into the mountain, Ye Mingze didn't bring anyone else, only the six of them.Ye Mingze adheres to the principle of avoiding ferocious beasts as much as possible, and if you can't avoid them, speed up and get rid of them.After all, within a group, there are very few people who have reached level five. Even if they are chasing after them, after Ye Mingze and the six get rid of the prey below level five, they will still have enough ability to take down the beast that is biting them.

The expensive essence is not expensive, if you bring other people, the effect may not be as good as just a few of them.

There are not many green plants in the mountains and forests. After all, they suffered from sunburn and frostbite, and then they were damaged by red rain. It is already very good to have the current vegetation coverage.

The greenery is not too strong, but there are not many flowers and trees, but many of them are dead.

Ye Mingze doesn't care much about the exotic plants, whether they are alive or dead, as long as they reach the level, they can be used.

The speed of the six people was not fast, and there were magic plants on the mountain. They needed to be extra careful not to be tied up by branches accidentally. No one wanted to experience the feeling of suffocation.

The cold climate also has the benefits of being cold. At least for the seeds that fell in the mountains last autumn, due to the low temperature, only a few seeds with particularly strong adaptability germinated after the spring of this year, which minimized the impact of the special substances brought by the red rain on the plants. , and prevent the soil from being destroyed.

After all, the low temperature cuts off the most important link, and the crazy-growing plants can only bloom and scatter seeds, and then there will be no future, because the seeds cannot germinate.

Ye Mingze doesn't know what's going on in the south, at least the north should be more or less the same, which can be regarded as leaving a way for all creatures to survive.Don't forget, human beings have to breathe. When the vegetation coverage is low to a certain level, their generation doesn't have to worry, but what about the future generations?

When that time really comes, why don't people work hard to purify the special substances little by little, and then carry out afforestation?But how many people can understand this?The biggest possibility is that when they realized it, they wanted to plant it but found that there was no seed, leaving a sigh.

There are many trees in the mountains, and it is not difficult to find five-level heterophytes.Ye Mingze encountered some medicinal herbs and fruit trees along the way, and took them into the space without any hassle.With space, they no longer need to carry their hands on their shoulders, and it is safer to enter the mountain.

The vitality of wild beasts is tenacious enough. The temperature was as low as nearly [-] degrees below zero at the coldest time last year. Up to now, there are still many alive and kicking.On this point, humans are completely incomparable.

Ye Mingze and his team wandered around the hills near the back mountain for a long time. They found a lot of five-level heterophytes, including various trees and vines. In addition, they saw marks left when cutting firewood, so they specially called the five-level sentinel to come and cut them. Yes, the quantity is enough to build several fishing boats.

This is the trouble with xenoplants. Only sentinel guides who are equal to or higher than the level of xenoplants can cut down smoothly. If the level is not enough, you can only stare blankly.

After chopping enough wood, Ye Mingze and his party of six didn't stay any longer.

On the way back, they didn't deliberately avoid their prey. They not only killed a brood of pheasants along the way, but also copied their old nests and took the wild eggs away.He also wiped out the hare family that was unfortunately hit by Ye Mingze and his party.

The return trip was much faster than when we came here. After all, we were following the path we had explored before. As long as there was no surprise harassment from Mozhi, as far as the footsteps of the fifth-level sentinel were concerned, this journey would not take too long.

Back home, Ye Mingze handed over the different plants to the master boatmen, and the other four five-level sentinel guides slowly processed the wood under the guidance of the masters.There is no way, the five-level alien plant can only be handled by the five-level sentinel guide, and the Ye family has six people including Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi, so they can only get all of them.
