After the Earthquake of Rebirth

After returning home, Ning Xiaowen, who had already returned, looked at Ning Qiyan who was lying limply on the bed, and looked at the four buckets of water he brought back.

"To wash so many mushrooms, how many trips do I have to make!"

Ning Qiyan lay face down on the pillow, and said sullenly: "Then I have to wash it."

Ning Xiaowen sighed, a little helpless.

"Call Wang Yang and the others to help, take the mushrooms down, wash them and bring them back, it's better than carrying water back and forth!"

Ning Qiyan stopped talking, and the exposed ears began to turn red visible to the naked eye.

He didn't turn around for a while, and it never occurred to him that he could go down to wash.

Beard burst out laughing.

It's a rare trip down the mountain, and I'm so tired. I've been making trouble for a long time, and I'm so busy.

Ning Xiaowen glared at him, the meaning was obvious: why are you laughing, don't you remember it? !

Huzi coughed lightly, "I'll go see if Wang Yang and the others have come back." After speaking, he avoided Ning Xiaowen's stare, and walked out of the cave with a smile.

Ning Xiaowen and Du Cheng went to the yard to tidy up the bags of different sizes, and the mountaineering bags that had been packed at the bottom of the box since they moved in were also turned out.Filled with several mountaineering bags, he was looking at the pockets he had tidied up, the ones on his shoulders, the ones in his hands, and doing the math, leaving aside Ning Qiyan who stayed to watch the house, the three of them plus Wang Yang's three Individuals will do.

"Brother Du, Brother Xiaowen, here we come." Hearing Huzi's greeting, Wang Yang and the four boys all came up.

"Three people are enough, don't you take the mushrooms you picked?" Ning Xiaowen asked seeing that they all came up empty-handed.

Wang Yang shook his head, "We picked quite a few, but there are still many we don't know. I want brother Qiyan to help you identify them. We'll wash them after sorting."

Ning Xiaowen nodded, "Then wait a minute, I'll call him."

After Ning Qiyan came out, he walked down together, and when he reached the tent where Wang Yang and the others were temporarily staying, he turned to the direction of the tent with Yang Yu who was going to stay.Ning Xiaowen and the other six continued to walk down.

Two girls, Wang Yuanyuan and Liu Jia, are sorting the mushrooms they picked under the big tree behind the tent.

Ning Qiyan didn't delay, walked over and started picking out the inedibles.

The weather is hot. If you don't deal with it, the mushrooms will be inedible within a day.The four of them didn't speak, so hurry up.

Wang Yang and the others picked a lot, but due to poor discrimination, nearly a quarter of them could not be eaten.

When it was time to choose what should be picked, what to pretend to be, it was almost over, and the four of them were busy talking.

"Brother Qiyan, can these mushrooms be dried directly after washing?" Wang Yuanyuan asked after packing the last bag.

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "Don't! After washing, the small mushrooms will be threaded and hung to dry. If they are large, cut them into slices and wear them. I see that there are a lot of mushrooms here. Wait until they are completely dry. , you can grind it into powder, add some when cooking or making soup, it tastes good.”

Wang Yuanyuan and Liu Jia nodded.

They are all only children at home, they are doted on at home, and their hands-on ability is extremely poor. Except for two girls who can cook a la carte, the other four boys are not even familiar with cooking.After the earthquake, they followed other people to collect a lot of supplies, but they didn't pay much attention to seasonings. Except for salt and sugar, they didn't collect much.After going up the mountain to cook by themselves, they can only season with salt and sugar. They are not willing to exchange credit points for seasonings, so they really have enough salty and sweet meals, so they go down the mountain together to eat a big pot of dishes with credit points.

If the shiitake powder tastes good, they can also change the taste.

"Brother Qiyan, if you don't dry it after washing, how many days can you eat it?" Wang Yuanyuan asked again.

"It's hot now, if you want to eat something fresh, you can soak it in salt water, but you can eat it until tomorrow at most. It used to last for three or four days, but now it's hard to say, be safe, don't eat it to ruin your stomach." Ning Qiyan warned.

After helping them arrange all the mushrooms, Ning Qiyan stood up and planned to go home.

Wang Yuanyuan and the others carried two bags of mushrooms and wanted to distribute them to Ning Qiyan. Since they moved here, they have been taken care of by Ning Qiyan and the others. Not only did they borrow tools and tents, but they were also taught a lot of life skills on the mountain.

Ning Qiyan resolutely refused, not to mention that his family picked more mushrooms than them, and he didn't know how long it would take to eat them, but just said that these half-grown children lived here alone, without the help of family and relatives, saving some mushrooms Things are not easy either.It was impossible for Ning Qiyan to take advantage of them.

Seeing that he didn't want it no matter what, Wang Yuanyuan and the three had no choice but to put down the bag.

When he got home, he released the three Du Dabao who had been bored at home for a long time, and took a bath one by one before Du Cheng and the others came back.

It was a hot day, and the three little things shed their hair a lot. The hair they replaced was everywhere in the cave, and it often flew into the plate even when they were eating.

Taking a bath can relieve the flying hairs to some extent.

Maybe it was too hot, Ning Qiyan barely made any effort, and took turns carrying them into the water basin.

The cool water wets the whole body, and the three comfortable little things don't want to come out.

After cleaning the three small ones, Ning Qiyan went into the cave and scrubbed himself.

Du Cheng and the others didn't come back until he finished washing the dirty clothes and getting ready for lunch.

Put the mushrooms into the cave first, and the four of them started to deal with them after eating.

Du Cheng and Hu Zi were responsible for threading the mushrooms, while Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen cut the big mushrooms into slices.

It was busy until the evening, and the four of them finished.

After drying for four days, a total of nearly ninety catties of dried mushrooms were harvested, which were sealed and stacked on the wooden shelves freshly punched out by the beard.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and the six of Wang Yang and the others dug a cave less than [-] square meters, and moved in without waiting for the moisture in the cave to dissipate.It took half a day to clean the empty tent before returning it to Ning Qiyan.

Nowadays, people in the mountains are used to going out at night. They put a few basins of cold water in the cave during the day, and sleep through the time when the temperature is the highest. Wait until four or five o’clock in the afternoon, when the temperature drops to 35 or [-] degrees. After eleven o'clock in the evening, after the sun goes down, go out of the cave to let the wind out, or light a fire from a distance, and work with the moonlight and firelight.

It has been more than half a month since the heavy rain, and it seems that it will enter August, but the biggest crisis after the earthquake broke out.

That evening, Ning Xiaowen woke up first and saw that the beard and hot clothes beside him were soaked. He turned his head to see that Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan were the same, so he got up and sprinkled a layer of water on the ground. Basins half filled with water.

When the water in the basin evaporates, it can take away some of the temperature in the cave. There is no other better way, so everyone can only make do with it.

Put some wind oil on the temples, Ning Xiaowen carried another bucket of water, walked out of the cave, and walked towards the viewing platform on the top of the mountain.

The three watermelon vines brought back by Ning Qiyan were planted by him in the grove on the hillside.Although it can't absorb much nutrients in the woods, it's better than dying directly in the sun.

Two of the three watermelon vines survived, and the other one was turned into a dead vine within a few days after the heavy rain because it was planted near the edge of the forest.

However, the remaining two trees grew better than he thought. The small knots on the vines that were only the size of a nail grew to the size of a fist. They watered them twice a day in the morning and evening, hoping to survive until the watermelon matured.

"Brother Xiaowen?"

After pouring the water, Ning Xiaowen just returned to the yard when he saw Wang Yang running up, sweating profusely, with obvious panic on his face.

Ning Xiaowen was startled, put down the bucket and greeted him.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Wang Yang grabbed Ning Xiaowen's arm.

"Something has happened! Something big has happened! Xiao Cangyun has a plague!"

Ning Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat, looking at Wang Yang, he immediately became flustered.

"Are you sure?"

Wang Yang looked at Ning Xiaowen, the horror in his eyes had not dissipated, but he nodded affirmatively.

"My senior sister told me that she works in the newly established medical team."

Ning Xiaowen closed his eyes, but couldn't suppress the panic in his heart, so he dragged Wang Yang into the cave together, and called Ning Qiyan and the three of them up.

"Don't panic, drink some water, and speak slowly." After hearing the news, Ning Qiyan was the calmest one. After all, he had experienced it once and knew that this plague could be brought under control, so he was not like Ning Xiaowen and the others. So frightening.

Wang Yang took the water glass from Ning Qiyan and took a big gulp.

Looking at the still calm Ning Qiyan, he slowly lost his breath and calmed down.

"A few days ago, there was news that the newly established medical team would expand its enrollment. As you all know, we are students of a medical university, we have a certain foundation, and the treatment of the medical team is good. We have been inquiring about news for the past few days and want to join the medical team. Yesterday In the evening, I finally got in touch with a senior who works in the medical team and made an appointment to meet today. We went down the mountain early this morning, taking advantage of the cool weather. When I saw the senior at noon, I told her what we thought and wanted her to help me. Unexpectedly She refused to let us join the medical team, and even said that except for the government's compulsory arrangement, no matter how good the recruiting salary is, we can't apply to join. We felt that she had something to say, and after a long time, she told us that a plague broke out in Xiao Cangyun. Isolate Da Cangyun from Xiao Cangyun, on the one hand, fearing that the plague will spread over there, and on the other hand, it will cause widespread panic. And the medical team has already transferred half of the people to station there." Wang Yang said.

Because the scope divided by the government includes Cangyun Mountain and a small hill connected to the back of the mountain, they are usually called Da Cangyun and Xiao Cangyun for convenience.

But Da Cangyun has a large area, and most of the citizens have moved here, while Xiao Cangyun is populated by people who moved from the city after the heavy rain.

Now that the plague broke out in Xiao Cangyun, I don't know if the government had guessed at the beginning, and then used that heavy rain as the dividing point.Ning Qiyan knew what happened later, the plague was indeed caused by heavy rain.The rapid rise in temperature after the rain caused a large number of bacteria to grow in the corpses in the ruins of the city that were too late to be cremated, and the citizens who moved after the rain were infected with the plague in such an environment.

"Don't be too flustered. The news hasn't spread widely here, which proves that it hasn't affected here yet. The most urgent thing is to exchange all the credits in your hands for food. Almost all the medicines and disinfectants used to prevent the plague must have been invested. It's Xiaocangyun, we can't change much, if we can't, see if we can change some vinegar and white wine. After changing things, fetch more water, and try to reduce the number of times you go down the mountain in the future. Even if you fetch water again, change it to daytime It's hot during the day, and there are few people walking outside, so you can avoid the crowd." After listening to Wang Yang's words, Ning Qiyan thought for a while before exhorting.

Wang Yang nodded and didn't say much. He just said that he would come to inform them if there was any news, and then he got up and left.Ning Qiyan's point was very important to them.If they can analyze it calmly, maybe they can think of it themselves, but the difficulty is that they can't calm down at all.

Wang Yang was fortunate that they could be neighbors with Ning Qiyan and the other four, and they got along very well.
