After the Earthquake of Rebirth

After making the torch, Beard stepped on the stone and cut four grooves on the wall, and inserted the lit torch into it.The remaining cotton cloth continued to be soaked in gasoline, covered with a lid, and placed in a place where Du Dabao and the others would not overturn it.

The fire light is not as bright as a light bulb, but it is enough for daily life. If you need light, just turn on the light, which can save a lot of power.

It was raining non-stop, and there was nothing to do in the cave. It was a bit boring to just tease Du Dabao. After sitting for a while, Du Cheng and Huzi picked up the shovel and continued digging.

Because the goal is clear, the excavation of the connecting platform from the innermost part of the cave to the back is only maintained at a size of two meters high and one meter wide. Whether the layout of the cave needs to be changed in the future will have to wait until the platform is connected.

The newly excavated stones and soil cannot be transported out temporarily, so they are piled up in a corner first.

He caught Ning Xiaobei who was the naughtiest, combed his hair well, Ning Xiaowen picked off the comb, and looked at the three that were making a mess again in a blink of an eye.

"It's time to give them a bath." The last time they bathed was before they came to the mountain. It has been half a month, and they rolled around on the ground every day, and the white hairs turned gray.

"When the rain stops, the temperature will go up, and don't freeze anymore." These three little things are smaller than the other, and they can't cure them if they are frozen.

Ning Xiaowen nodded, because he was free and wanted to be active.

Ning Qiyan thought for a while and said, "How about we dispose of the tree trunk?"

Ning Xiaowen's eyes lit up.

Du Cheng and Huzi can't do anything now, he and Ning Qiyan are also idle, sawing some planks out, so they can make sets of tables, chairs and benches, and they won't be able to eat on the ground all the time in the future.

Thinking of it and doing it, the two of them got into the Westinghouse with the lamp in hand.

There is no need to hurry, take a break when you are tired, or cook something delicious.

The materials were limited, but they couldn't hold back the time spent on research.

Canned beef rice bowl in the morning, omurice rice at noon, and alternative sushi rolls made of canned fish and pickled vegetables in the evening.

But what followed was a rapid reduction in stored food.The four big men themselves have a lot of appetite, and with the combination of tastes, they eat more.

If it weren't for Ning Xiaowen's firm opposition, Ning Qiyan would have wanted to kill a duck to make soup.

"If you haven't laid eggs for such a long time, it's a waste of food to raise them." Ning Qiyan sharpened his knife and hurriedly walked to the West Room.

Ning Xiaowen held him dumbfounded.

"It hasn't grown up yet, if you kill it, there will be no duck eggs!"

At night, the four sleep on air mattresses brought in from a tent before the rain.Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng had always shared the two mattresses, and Hu Zi had shared the mattress.

Because I just wanted to move into the mountains to escape the high temperature, I didn't bring any thicker quilts, but only brought four single-person summer cool quilts.It was enough at first, but the temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days, and a thin bed of summer cool can't block the cold air at night.Huzi stacked his and Ning Xiaowen's quilts together in an open and aboveboard way, and the two of them got into the same bed.

Du Cheng was a little moved, but seeing that Ning Qiyan was obviously uncomfortable, after thinking about it, he didn't take the initiative too much.

On the first night, Ning Qiyan covered the quilt with a few clothes, but the summer clothes are very thin, no amount of covering is useless.Sleeping in the middle of the night, Ning Qiyan felt a little cold, so he couldn't help shrinking into the quilt. After a while, he vaguely felt the quilt sink for a while, and then warmed up.

After waking up in the morning, I realized that it was Du Cheng who covered himself with his quilt, and Du Cheng had a piece of clothing on him.The air was still filled with the coldness of the rain, and Du Cheng's exposed arms were cold.

Ning Qiyan sighed and covered him with a quilt.

That night, Ning Qiyan took the initiative to cover the quilts of the two of them together, acquiescing to the way of sleeping under the same quilt.No matter what, he couldn't bear Du Cheng to freeze.

Where Ning Qiyan didn't see, Huzi winked at Du Cheng, Ning Xiaowen looked funny, but didn't point it out.In this way, Du Cheng's little trick succeeded.

Is it possible to sleep under the same quilt and sleep separately in the future? !

The thunderstorm that lasted for several days finally stopped at [-]:[-] pm on the eighth day.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the long-lost scorching sun emerged again.

As the weather cleared, the temperature rose significantly. In less than an hour, the thermometer in Ning Xiaowen's hand showed a high temperature of 39 degrees.

This made everyone who had been bored for eight days had to go back into the cave.

The temperature was rising so fast that even in the shade of the trees in the yard, it was unbearably hot.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside, everyone except Ning Qiyan frowned.

It's already afternoon, and the humidity after the rain hasn't dissipated yet, so it's so hot. If it's the hottest time at noon, it's probably more than 40 degrees or nearly [-] degrees.

This is still in the mountains, and it will only get hotter in the city.

"This still makes people alive!" Beard complained.

Ning Xiaowen clenched the thermometer in his hand worriedly.

"It's not even August yet."

Du Cheng turned his head to look at Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan shrugged, "Let's resign ourselves to fate, think about the south, we are in the north, it's not inland, it's better than other places. If it doesn't work, we will drive back to the city in the evening and bring the generator and air conditioner. "

Du Cheng thought for a while, "Wait, let's see the situation again. Those two things are not small, and it's too eye-catching to carry them all the way up. There are only four of us, if too many people are watching, it will always be troublesome."

Beard also nodded.

there is always a solution to a problem.If the world really does not allow people to survive, that is fate.It's useless to think too much, it's better to live the present moment well.

Ning Xiaowen shook off his worries, and called everyone to move the unfinished rice noodles in the cave to the entrance of the cave.

After several days of heavy rain, the humidity in the cave was too heavy, and the rice and noodles were a little damp.Move it out to bask in the sun, and you can hold on for a while longer.

Not only food, but everything in the cave was damp, and everything that could be moved was moved out to dry.

Clothes and bedding were put on sanded boards, and firewood was piled back into the yard.

But chickens and ducks dare not drive them out.

This temperature is unbearable, if the chickens and ducks that have been raised with great difficulty die of heat, Ning Xiaowen will feel distressed to death.

Moving and lifting, plus a break in the middle, the temperature will drop a bit after everything is sorted out.

Look at the time, then look at the thermometer.

07:30 in the evening, 36 degrees.

The four people did not feel comforted when it was lowered by three degrees.

Wang Yang came up to get a bucket and planned to go down to fetch water.There are so many of them, and the containers that can hold water are limited. The drinking water brought in before it rained was used up three days ago.There was really no way, and for the next three days, the rainwater was simply filtered and boiled for drinking.

Ning Qiyan said that they were alright, the water in the tank hadn't been used up yet, but there wasn't much left.If the temperature is too high, the water consumption will inevitably increase.

Ning Qiyan didn't say much, handed the empty bucket to Wang Yang, and handed him the two shovels by the way.

"Use your shovel these days first, dig a cave and live in it as soon as possible." Living in a cave is at least cooler than outside.

Wang Yang was not hypocritical, thanked him and left with a shovel and bucket.

When it comes to digging a cave, Huzi suddenly pulls Du Cheng up and walks towards the top of the mountain.

I didn't think of it before, with such a heavy rain, I have to check to see if the mountain above is loose. If there is any abnormality, I have to plan ahead.

I can't have my cave buried by landslides before the platform behind has been dug through.

After looking around, the situation on the mountain is good. Although a lot of soil has been lost, the rocks exposed on the surface are still very strong, but the roots of many trees are exposed to the surface due to the reduction of the soil.

The two pushed down all the unstable trees and dragged them to the viewing platform to dry.

When it was getting dark, Wang Yang and his group, besides Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei, the other two boys, Wang Zhixiang and Yang Yu, came up with buckets filled with water.

Taking the bucket, Ning Qiyan handed over half a bag of mung beans that had been packed in advance to the two of them.

"Go back and boil water to drink, which can somewhat prevent heatstroke. You don't need to fetch water for us in the future, save some effort, and dig a cave to live in."

Yang Yu pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and smiled shyly.

"It's okay, we have to fetch water anyway, but it's just for two more people, just by the way."

They are borrowing tools, and living in other people's tents for nothing, not to mention fetching water, they wish they could help a little more.

Ning Qiyan also understood their thoughts, so he didn't evade any more.

Before leaving, Wang Zhixiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Almost forgot, Liu Jia asked us to tell you, get up early tomorrow, after the heavy rain, there may be a lot of mushrooms and fungus growing on the mountain."

Ning Qiyan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stopped Yang Yu and the two who were about to leave after speaking, took out a pen and paper, and quickly drew several mushroom shapes by the light of the fire.

"Go back and take a good look at these. These are common edible mushrooms in the mountains here. You probably haven't seen them before, so just remember the appearance and look for them." Handing the drawn pictures to the two, Ning Qiyan exhorted.

Wang Zhixiang and Yang Yu expressed their thanks in surprise.Although Liu Jia had seen many edible wild mushrooms when he was in his hometown in the south, the regions in the north and the south are different. They really don't know what kind of mushrooms here are and whether they are edible.Originally, I planned to pick all the ones I saw, and then slowly find someone to distinguish them. Now that I have the appearance in my hand, I can save a lot of effort.

After the two left, Ning Xiaowen asked hesitantly, "Can there really be mushrooms?"

It's no wonder he was hesitant. Usually, after a thunderstorm, a lot of mushrooms would appear on the mountain. It turned out that he had picked quite a few when he was in the village.But today, after the rain stopped, the sun was exposed to the sun, and the muddy surface was dried up in a short while. Can mushrooms still grow?

Ning Qiyan nodded and kept drawing three more copies one after another, handing them over to the three of them.

If Wang Zhixiang hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about it.

After the heavy rain in the previous life, the mountains were covered with mushrooms. When he and Du Cheng knew about it, the mushrooms were almost picked. Even so, the two of them brought back two big bags.

But at that time, they didn't know which ones were edible and which ones were poisonous, so they went to the redemption point and asked for help to pick out the poisonous ones.The price is one-third of the remaining mushrooms as "discrimination fee".

After the heavy rain in autumn, he and Du Cheng could also recognize most edible mushrooms.

Now Du Cheng has no experiences in his previous life, but Ning Qiyan remembers them.

He didn't know why mushrooms could still grow after being exposed to the high temperature, but he could only eat them, so why bother with so many.

Now that he knew that there would be a big harvest tomorrow, Ning Qiyan pulled Ning Xiaowen and the others to start preparing big bags.Divide all the bags into four, one for each person, and all the staff will go out tomorrow.
