If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

The sun was shining brightly, and the sunshine in early spring was warm but not too hot, but the people who were working couldn't stand the sun, and took off their thin jackets early one by one, only wearing single clothes.Some of the men quarrying and ramming the road even took off their jackets, working hard with their shirts off.

Since Xia Chen promoted the lottery coins that day, the lottery coins have been circulated among the villagers through the work of building cities and roads.With each performing its own duties and doing its own thing, the entire village of Qinghe Village has entered into a good operating environment.

Because of today's spring plowing, most of the villagers planted potatoes and sweet potatoes. These things are easier to take care of than rice and wheat. Xia Chen used the newly issued coins to hook all the manpower to do infrastructure work.

The quarry is more than a quarter of an hour's walk from Qinghe Village. The men who go to quarry have to get up early every morning, have a quick breakfast, and then go to the newly built mission office next to the shop to pick up the task for the day.

In general, those who have to travel, such as quarrying, have to leave before the hour of the hour. If they have not left after the hour of the hour, the day can only be counted as half-day work, and the same is true for other types of work.

Of course, there are also those who are lazy, who deliberately procrastinate and refuse to go to work after receiving the sign, or simply do foreign work, sparing their efforts, instead of picking three stones or ramming one meter of ground, he picks one and spends half a day ramming it. The hammer was still under his feet.

In this way, the first time you catch it, your wages will be deducted for the day, and a warning will be issued.The second time, I was fired directly, and I don't want to get another job in the short term.

There's nothing here in Xia Chen. He won't give you a third chance at all. Anyway, he is now the only contractor in the whole Qinghe Village. All the work is sent out by him, and they are all overtaken by others. If you do it, there will be no situation where you can't recruit people.If it's not possible, he will delay the construction period, in short, he will not get used to the bad habits of these people.

Of course, those who do well are willing to work hard, and it is not without rewards. The guards will patrol around the village every day, and two groups of people are also arranged at the quarry. It can also monitor the working conditions everywhere.

Through them, those who are honest and willing to work, although they will not directly increase their wages, will give them some rewards.

In Xia Chen's previous life, his parents were all in business, and he had also acquired some habits. Not only did he not give money for a reward, but he also cared about the money in the hands of the villagers.

He doesn't send money directly, but rewards in kind, such as a brown sugar steamed bun, or two or three pieces of candy, or a few biscuits, all of which are rare things that the villagers are reluctant to buy even if they take money.

These things were all priced in the shop, and when they were converted into white coins, the villagers who had won the prize felt that Young Master Xia was really kind and generous.

Things can’t be exchanged for money when you take them home. The children in the family are greedy, and they are reluctant to spend money to buy them on weekdays, but this is the reward for the hard work of the father.

The whole family shared these foods, which are free and expensive, and the taste itself is not bad, and the taste in the mouth has risen to another level. Everyone thinks it is delicious, no wonder it is so expensive.

It's okay if you haven't tasted it, but once you taste it, you will think about the next time. The father is determined to work harder and strive to earn rewards again.The children inevitably went out to talk and show off after eating, and a group of Gou's playmates went back crying and questioning why their father couldn't go to work and didn't receive this reward.

This hurts my heart, and those who didn't get the job and didn't get the award are jealous and envious.Those who didn't get the job secretly hated those who didn't want to do a good job after getting the job. If they got it themselves, they would definitely not be lazy, and they could also win prizes. It took such a big advantage.

The rewards are not given out to everyone every day. Every three days, the hardest-working people in the middle are selected. What they give away is just some scattered goods, the total value of which is less than one green coin, but it greatly improves the villagers' life. positivity.

With such a combination of kindness and strength, the construction in the village is progressing very fast, and more than half of the road from the quarry to the entrance of the village has been tamped.Xia Chen vaguely remembered the general structure of a wheelbarrow. After discussing with the carpenters in the village, he figured out a similar vehicle and led a few young apprentices to rush to work every day.

The stones were transported to the entrance of the village, and it was time to build the city wall. Xia Chen asked for a long time, throwing good words out like money, and then coaxed Wen Shu to become a supervisor.

After finally coaxing people to work, Xia Chen murmured to himself, he, the benefactor of the family, was really tired of doing it, but Zi Jian's temperament became more and more delicate as he raised him. He used to be so talkative, gentle and kind, Where is it like now, you have to coax and make offerings.

But Xia Chen also enjoyed it, Zijian used to be easy to talk, but he didn't know where he was poked, and immediately changed, the whole person was gloomy and gloomy, as if he was about to draw a sword to kill someone in the next second, and his mind was so cloudy and uncertain.

Now or after getting along with him for a long time, he is infected with an optimistic mood, and his heart is relaxed a lot. Although he is arrogant at times, he smooths his hair and coaxes him well, and puts on a self-confident attitude, and he is easy to accept. to his liking.

Having said that, building a city wall is not an easy job. From digging foundations to building walls, there is a lot of knowledge involved.Although Wen Shu doesn't do the work himself, he can speak clearly about everything, even with sarcasm, and his subordinates are not slow to work.

In addition, after some cleaning, the whole village has also changed a lot.Although it was still the original dirt road, the puddles and mud puddles were filled in, the thick floating ash was swept away, the messy dead branches and leaves and feces were cleaned up, and even the air was somewhat fresh.

Knowing that Xia Chen likes to be clean, he even hired someone to do the cleaning work. The villagers did not dare to run around the village with chickens and ducks. After the children who defecated everywhere were ridiculed by Xue Guangzong and a group of students, they finally understood. Things like shame, slowly began to change these bad habits.

After some rectification, the whole village has taken on a new look. I was used to seeing it and didn't notice it, but after being manipulated by Xia Chen, I gradually felt better.

Brother Dong also suggested that the village should be paved with stone roads, just like the main road in the county town, but Xia Chen rejected it.

One is that there is not enough manpower, and the side of the road construction is still ramming the road for transporting stones, and the other is that Xia Chen has a lot of cards in his hand, and he needs soil instead of stones.

But now this is not the most important thing, you can put it later, anyway, he has not stopped copying cards and taking them to evolve. Although the high failure rate makes him distressed, the evolved cards are indeed powerful Increase, maybe there will not be so many restrictions on future use.

After a period of development, the entire Qinghe Village is in a state of prosperity, and all affairs are on the right track. There are also many problems that have been highlighted. The most important thing is that there is a lack of people.

Because of the need for infrastructure construction, the work of farming has been handed over to the women, the elderly and older children of the family as much as possible, but there are still not enough people.

Before Xia Chen was worried about how to recruit people back, news came from the side of the city wall that many people came from behind the tree wall.

The tree wall is the row of iron trees planted by Xia Chen. There was a piece left for a thick enough gate, but the only carpenter in the village has been too busy making a wheelbarrow recently. It's not a problem, another iron tree was planted to block the vacancy, and the tree will be taken back after the back door is completed.

Because of the tree wall, the villagers who built the wall not far away felt very at ease.In the first few days, I heard the roar of zombies coming from outside the iron tree, and I was so frightened when I saw the ferocious appearance of zombies in the gap. With a merciless stab, they are equipped with short guns, which are specially designed to fight under this kind of barrier.

Now the villagers who built the wall didn't shake their hands when they heard the cries of zombies, and they were still busy. Anyway, those zombies were dealt with by the guards, and they had to work hard to get rewards.

But this one was strange, it wasn't zombies that came, but a group of ragged and skinny people. Those people described them as extremely distressed. Their hungry cheekbones protruded like skeletons, and they were no worse than zombies.

When Xia Chen got the news and was called over, someone had already squeezed in through the gap between the iron trees, and was kneeling in front of the guard members who were standing in a row, weeping and begging in a low voice.

The gap in the middle of the iron tree was the width calculated by Xia Chen. Normal people would be stuck if they turned sideways, but these people were so thin that they squeezed in from the middle without any difficulty.

As soon as Xia Chen arrived, the members of the guard team who were waiting in full battle immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was no problem for them to fight zombies, but these people were so miserable just looking at them that they didn't know how to deal with them.

The team leader of the guard team who is on duty here today is Dong Daniu, the one who was scratched by a mutant zombie in the cave and almost died. When he saw Xia Chen, he came over and briefly reported the situation, and then brought the other guards The members stood beside Xia Chen together, blocking those who were about to rush over to beg.

Xia Chen took a general look. The people who were still outside the tree couldn't see the exact number. The few who had already squeezed in were really miserable. The weather has warmed up in April, but these people were dressed in rags The old jacket, the exposed hands, feet and skin can be seen with large areas of chilblains and festering marks, so rotten that the bones can be seen.

They were all so black and dirty that their faces could not be seen, and they were thin, like a layer of skin wrapped on a bone frame, and they were not much better than zombies.

Xia Chen saw that he could make the decision, and immediately those people knelt down in front of him. They didn't even have the strength to kowtow, lying on the ground and sobbing softly, tears seemed to be unable to flow, and hoarse crying came from their throats. The eyes are suppressed, sad and miserable.

"Don't cry yet, find someone who can answer." Xia Chen felt a headache when he heard it. Although he knew that the ordinary survivors of the doomsday must have a miserable life, but seeing it with his own eyes, it should be uncomfortable or uncomfortable.

The person kneeling on the ground immediately turned his head to look outside the tree wall. There was a tall and thin figure lying in the gap. His face was too dirty to tell his age, but his frame was quite large. He should be a man in his prime.

The man couldn't get in, so he knelt down to Xia Chen through the tree wall, and said hoarsely, "Master Xia, we are fugitives from nearby Heyuan Town, Rongshu Village, Houshan Village and other places, and now we have nowhere to go. The young master takes pity on us, please save our lives, be a servant, and only ask Master Xia to give us a bite to eat."

Xia Chen hadn't spoken yet, but the people who were building the city wall were shocked. These villages were all in contact with each other, and even intermarried with each other.After the apocalypse, I only heard that there was chaos outside, and so many zombies were blocked on the road, no one dared to mention going to other villages to see.

It's just that although their village was in turmoil, it didn't hurt the root, so they thought that other villages were similar to them. Who would have thought that they would only know now that they had become like this.

The fugitives, several villages, and one town, only those who escaped, and those who did not escape? These villagers felt a sudden chill in their hearts, pouring from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.
