Doomsday foresight

Seeing a smile on Jin Xi's face, Jiang Chen stepped forward and hugged Jin Xi, and chopped the person next to him to the ground, "I'm worried these days."

Jin Xi shook his head, "It's nothing, just come here." Jin Xi felt particularly at ease at this moment.

"Bring them back to the castle. Jinqi, go and fetch the people behind." Jiang Chen confessed, and walked towards the castle with Jinxi in his arms, and dealt with the escaped people.

When Jiang Chen came here, not only did Jinxi feel at ease, but the rest of the castle also had a backbone.It didn't take long to clean up the vultures, and then a group of people came from the trail in the mountain. There were more than 200 people. In addition to the more than 150 hunting team members brought by Jiang Chen, more than 300 people came this time .

Jinxi didn't have time to talk to Jiang Chen at this moment. After handing over the security of the castle to Jiang Chen, Jinxi took over the government affairs and accommodated the newcomers. Among these people, there were more women and middle-aged people, and only some of them were known to him. Most of them were strangers, Jin Xi casually pulled Sai Yin and asked what was going on?

He didn't understand until Saiyin said it.

Yecheng has changed a lot since Jinxi came here. Before, some bases ransacked other bases, and the Jingxi base was also in chaos. The large base was divided into more than ten small bases, and there were constant fights with each other.Ordinary people had a difficult life. Seeing such a situation, many people fled while the weather was getting warmer, and some people from small bases that had been looted also escaped. Most of these people fled north.Many people fled to Yecheng.

The construction of Yecheng is good, the policy is more tolerant, and it is more humane. People gathered in some surrounding villages also know the reputation of Yecheng. Most people came to Yecheng last year to seek life, and they came here early this year. Yecheng will always be There is no shortage of work to do.

Many of these people are originally from the local area and are reluctant to leave home. Some are from other places and have experienced the cruel exploitation of other bases. These people do not want to join the base. long.During these days, a certain base was often looted, and all the people in a certain base were killed. A lot of bad news came, and they were very worried. In addition, many people from the base fled here and wanted to join Yecheng. Heartbroken.

They know the situation in Yecheng. Although the people in Yecheng are not as severely divided as in other bases, the people in Yecheng are more united. The core people are all related by blood or in-laws, and they are very united. It is difficult for outsiders to enter the core. , A few days ago, some rules came out, clearly stipulating what kind of contribution people who join Yecheng need to make in order to get what kind of treatment. The treatment is mainly housing or material distribution.Although there are many rules and regulations, it makes people see hope. After all, no matter what kind of people here, they can get materials as long as they work.These people originally helped Yecheng build houses, which can be regarded as some contributions. When they joined Yecheng, they would be treated better than those who came later. Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity, and moved their families to join Yecheng soon.

In this way, due to various reasons, Yecheng has added more than 2000 people within a month. Of these 2000 people, there are not many old people, and there are not many children. Most of them are capable young and middle-aged people. Presumably there are only such people To go so far, and among the more than 2000 people, there are not many families.

The increase in population has also increased the strength of Yecheng. After screening, there are 2000 young people in the city guard reserve team. These people are selected from [-] people. They are all young people who are not weak, but these people have been displaced. The physical condition is a bit poor and it will take some time to cultivate, and many of these people do not know how to hunt and need exercise. More importantly, it is not clear how these people's xinxing is, and they need to be understood.

These [-] reserve troops were organized into several brigades, and they were inserted into the original teams separately. The old people taught them hunting and fighting methods, and they could also check the temperament of these people.

Ye Qiu is very good at internal affairs. Not long after the division of power in Yecheng, he established a personnel file, and created a file for everyone in the base. In the past, the people in Yejia Village were just simple files, and the files for the rest of the outsiders were even more complicated. Meticulous, even the situation of young children is clear.This is of great help to the management of Yecheng, who can quickly find suitable candidates for any kind of people they need.

This time Jiang Chen brought 150 members of the guards, and the rest came to work. After Jiang Chen went back, he introduced the situation here. Almost everyone thought this place was very important and hoped that it could be established. As the second base, he brought 150 guards to protect it, and the other 200 people came to work.

Of the more than 200 people, fifty were originally from Yecheng, and the remaining 150 people came from other places. The original 50 people in Yecheng will go back in the future, and the remaining 150 people will stay here. Unexpectedly, they stayed here. These people are all middle-aged people in good health, and except for a few couples who came together, the rest are all alone. These people lost their relatives in the disaster.

Because of the confusion, Jinxi brought these people to the restaurant first, because the anti-foreign enemy kitchen has made a lot of food, which will be ready-made, let everyone eat to fill their stomachs first, and then count the supplies brought by Jiang Chen, Take the list and compare the allocation of rooms. There are many rooms in the castle, and you can live on the second floor. There are many rooms on the second floor, which are similar to those above the cafeteria. Each room can accommodate four people, and several couples live in smaller rooms alone. , The toilets are all public, and the guards live in several large rooms on the first floor. These large rooms are equipped with kangs. A kang can accommodate more than 30 people, and they are all narrow and long rooms.

After arranging the accommodation, Jinxi distributed things to everyone. Jiang Chen took the time to tell him that the people he brought this time were all penniless and completely unreliable. Even if they stayed in Yecheng for a while, there would not be one A stable home, that's why he brought these people in the hope that they could settle down here.

Because the things distributed in summer are relatively simple, each person has a reed mat. The reed here may have mutated and is very soft. Some women brought by the village tried to weave mats. As a result, a daughter-in-law wove a reed pole wrapped in reed leaves. A cushion, very soft, this cushion is actually three layers connected, two fingers thick, this can completely replace the previous mattress.Especially in summer, it is very comfortable to use, and now all the people in the castle are covered with this kind of cushions.The pillows are also made of reeds, and the rectangular hollow pillows are very comfortable to sleep on.

Because there are not so many people needed for drying salt, at least half of the people in the castle have started to make reed items, cushions, pillow mats, curtain cushions, and try everything you can think of.I don't know if everyone is good at their crafts or what, but the work is very fast, and now there are many in the basement.

In addition to these things, Jinxi also gave them some simple supplies, toiletries, no toothpaste, and green salt specially used for brushing teeth. This kind of salt for brushing teeth is not only finely ground, but also contains some Zhang Zhong configuration Herbal powder, how much can protect teeth.In fact, Jinxi and the others have also studied the problem of teeth. It seems that since the world changed, no old man in the village has lost his teeth. Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan also made a special inspection. Many old people who should lose their teeth seem to have grown teeth again. It was difficult to eat before, but now I don't feel like eating meat.

Jinxi feels that people's physical fitness may have increased, or that the current environment is good for the growth of humans, animals and plants.Just looking at the current situation, there is no big problem for the elderly in the village to live over a hundred years old.His grandpa now looks just like ten years ago, walking like flying, farming and climbing mountains.This may be good news for the living.

The soaps are also made by themselves, and each piece is similar to the laundry soap in the past, which can be used for a long time. Other hand towels, lunch boxes, and daily necessities are messed up, and a bunch of daily necessities are distributed. Most of the things here are produced by themselves.Although it is not as good as before the end of the world, it is already a very good thing for those who escaped.These new items also represent the slow return of human life to normal.It's also very reassuring.

Clothes are also distributed in the castle. Each person has two sets of cotton long clothes and trousers. The clothes are too big, like pajamas, and they don’t fit close to the body. Now the weather is too hot. If the clothes are wrapped around the body, they can’t bear it, and they can’t wear short sleeves. Otherwise, if you go out for only one day, your skin will fade away.Each also has a big straw hat made of reeds.

If you go out in summer, you have to be well-armed, even if you are like this, you will be tanned.

After the castle was built, Yecheng transported supplies several times, and the things here are still enough. This time Jiang Chen came here mainly to bring vegetables.Just behind the castle, there is an open space between the castle and the wall, because the castle and the wall block the sun here for only four hours, which is just right for growing vegetables.Now the seeds of vegetables and food don’t freeze in the snow all winter, and they can’t try to germinate when the weather is warm, so they can only dig ready-made ones.Jiang Chen and the others were also afraid that they would die when the vegetables were brought over, so they brought them with them in square baskets with soil.That's it or die some.

After the two sides were settled, it was already dawn. Jinxi didn't sleep that day, and didn't dream about the outside situation. Before the sun shines on the earth, Jinxi led a few people to plant all the vegetables. , There is almost an acre and a half of land here, and the main plants are tomatoes, eggplants, beans, and cucumbers, which can basically meet the needs of vegetables in the castle.Jiang Chen also brought a lot of beans and ten milking cows.The cows now produce a lot of milk. These ten cows can guarantee the daily milk consumption in the castle. There are already a lot of cows in the cattle farm in Yecheng, which can even ensure that no one in Yecheng has a lot of milk left over a catty a day, and there are still many in the village. There are many people who don't like to drink milk. The goat milk produced every day in Jiachang Village is very rich.Saiyin's mother and sister-in-law organized some women in the village to start making dairy products and reprocess the extra milk produced every day.These reprocessed foods are very popular, especially when the hunting team goes out and adds enough energy.

In addition to these cattle, the sheep flock is also developing very well. The first few sheep of the Jinxi family are still continuing their life of breeding sheep. It is precisely because of these few sheep that the Jinxi family has now developed into a A flock of more than 20 sheep, which does not include a few offspring breeding sheep that were taken away by the sheepfold in the village.Because the number is enough, Mr. Ye has already said that he will kill two when it snows, and their family will not be short of mutton in the future.

Speaking of it, Jinxi only thought that raising animals would be beneficial, but he didn't expect that the animals would change so much, and their physical fitness would improve too much, especially those who experienced the world changes in the last days. The animals in the house also have a touch of spirituality, just like the animals in Jinxi's family, and the bright red in Jinxi's family.That big rooster is still alive and healthy and looks very energetic. No matter how many chicks hatched in the village, or how strong the big rooster is, everyone has to bow his head obediently in front of it. Calling other chickens will not make a sound.Every morning, the crowing of Dahong is like a signal. With the crowing, all the chickens in the village start to make a fuss without a sound.Some people joked that Dahong is the king of chickens.

Jinxi doesn't know if Dahong is the chicken king, anyway, having Dahong at home is like having an extra bodyguard.

The current situation in Yecheng is based on the family as the unit. There are several sources of materials. One is collective distribution, that is, everyone has basic materials, the most basic living security, and the second is labor income, which is contributed by individuals. Regarding the distribution, the more contributions, the more distribution, and the third is private income.This private income is the income during the time outside the group mission. Yecheng also has rest days at work, and the hunting team also has a shift system, so everyone has private time, and the villagers will never waste this time, even if they can’t do anything. Children, when you have nothing to do, dig some wild vegetables in the nearby mountains or find some food to make a small trap to catch a rabbit or something.Even if food is plentiful now, no one would think of being lazy.

But that's it, because of personal ability problems, there are still some gaps in life in the village except for the most basic guarantees.The stronger the people, the better the living conditions. Everyone has no complaints about this gap, and they don’t feel unbalanced. Everything is in exchange for life and labor on the bright side. Survival of the fittest is the law of the forest. It also gradually took root in people's hearts.Because of this, the mental outlook of Yecheng people is also more positive. Even foreigners, after arriving here not long ago, they are encouraged to be less depressed and full of hope for life.

For the time being, the castle cannot form that kind of distribution method, and now the castle can only be managed collectively.That's why Jiang Chen brought such a group of people. These people basically have nothing to worry about. Living in a group here for a period of time can improve the cohesion of these people, and living in a group can also give them a sense of security.Jiang Chen feels that the system here is just like this, and if there are any lonely people who come to join in the future, they will be sent here to experience the collective life first.Anyway, the guards also come back here for rotation, and they will change back and forth together.

Jiang Chen also brought Zhang Yun this time. Zhang Yun was originally an instructor and was the best at doing ideological work. He planned to let Zhang Yun guide these newcomers well. The people in Yecheng have nothing to do with them, except for the family as the unit. Yes, young children, it is easy for them to establish a sense of belonging to a place, but this group of people who are alone are more likely to cause trouble.Get educated here.

It's just that Jiang Chen didn't expect the situation here to be so bad. Someone from that seaport base came here to attack the city. This is absolutely unforgivable.As soon as Jiang Chen heard the two attacks, he couldn't calm down, why he would be in danger if he stopped Jinxi, how could he put Jinxi here at ease.After Jiang Chen heard Jinlin's report, he became angry. This time he brought 150 city guards, and he was ready to launch an attack.The harbor base must be resolved, otherwise they will have no peace here.

After making this decision, Jiang Chen went to look for Jinxi, and saw that Jinxi led people to farm in the vegetable garden behind. The vegetable garden surrounded a low wall with a height of [-] centimeters with stones, and there was an irrigation canal around it. It is also a flood discharge channel, and if the rain is heavy, the water in the ground can also be drained.

Jiang Chen saw that Jinxi was putting cucumber seedlings on the shelf, so he walked over to help.

"Is it solved over there?" Jin Xi asked.

Jiang Chen nodded, "I asked about those who sneaked into the house. The one that you and Jin Lin fainted was a vulture with a stiff mouth, so I locked him in the hive. Others asked a lot of questions. Something. There is also the flying wing, which is made of mantis leg bones, which is very light and strong, but the fabric on it is not ordinary, what do you think it is made of?" Jiang Chen asked Jinxi with a smile.

Jin Xi kept moving his hands, "Use bird feathers, I see that there are feathers."

"It's made of a kind of spider silk pulp glued to the feathers. You can't think of it. You can see it later. The material is very fine and firm after being glued together, and the feathers on it are also a kind of belly hair of a bird. The lightness can swing with the wind, improving the balance of the flying wings. The entire flying wing is only three meters wide, less than ten catties, but it can carry a person who weighs two hundred catties." Jiang Chen opened his mouth sighing, "Those in the south People are really smart.”

Jinxi thought for a while and said, "They have a lot of species there, and there must be many ways to use animals and plants to make some daily necessities." They don't have anything like praying mantis here. In fact, since winter has been a few months longer, they don't have any here. Insects too.

"The mantis leg is as thick as a thumb and half a meter long. Its hardness is almost as strong as that of steel bars. There is also that kind of spider silk paste, which is taken directly from the spider's stomach. It will be used up within a minute. The cohesion is very strong, and after drying, the objects will be glued together and it is difficult to separate."

Jin Xi nodded, "This is just what we have seen. There are a lot of insects in the south. It is estimated that many new things will be born."

While the two were talking, the transplanted vegetables were ready.Water them and see if they survive.

The two went back to the house together, and Jinxi went to the bathroom to turn on the water, ready to take a bath.

Jiang Chen came in with a change of clothes, hugged him from behind, and rubbed his shoulders, "I miss you so much."

Jin Xi closed her eyes and touched his hand, said with a smile, "Me too."

It was already past one o'clock when Jinxi woke up, and Jiang Chen was gone, Jinxi put on his clothes and went to the terrace, holding on to the handrail of the balcony to look down, there were a few people sitting and laughing in the corridor under the opposite city wall , Jinxi recognized a person who shouted, "Sayin, inform everyone that a tsunami is coming soon, be prepared."

"Okay." Sai Yin, who was chatting with the gods, stood up and walked up the stairs to the west watchtower. There are three bells on the watchtower, and the middle one is a big bell, which is the foreign enemy's invasion. It rings from time to time, the sound is heavy, and when it rings, it seems to hit people's hearts.The clock near the direction of the castle is a small bell, hanging in the arched porch of the watchtower, and it sounds harsh, which tells everyone in the castle that a tsunami is coming.Everyone, get ready. The last bell stands at the window of the watchtower house. The sound of this bell is crisp and clear. It is used to convey information on weekdays. If the castle is farther away, you can ring the bell if you can’t hear it.Transfer information according to different tapping methods.

At this time, the tsunami warning bell was sounded, and everyone in the castle took action. The tsunami did not pose a great threat to the castle. They just took back some clothes and items placed outside, and then closed the door connecting to the balcony.

When Jinxi heard the bell ringing, she closed the door and went back to the house, and lay down on the bed for a while, the sky suddenly turned dark outside, today's tsunami is not big, it doesn't matter if there is no warning.Jin Xi thought about getting up from the bed and walking outside, when she met Jiang Chen on the second floor.

"What are you doing, nothing to do now? Go get something to eat." Jiang Chen knew Jinxi was up when he heard the bell, went to the kitchen to get some food, and then went upstairs.

Jin Xi pinched a piece of fried butter and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating, "Today's tsunami is not big, and it will end in half an hour. It just so happens that there are a lot of people coming here today. Let's take the escort to catch the sea. These days, everyone patronizes to resist There are foreign enemies, just relax." After the tsunami, going to the beach to pick up leaks is definitely a very happy thing, Jin Xi felt that he would also take those newcomers to have fun, and have a seafood barbecue party in the evening, so that everyone can relax.

Jiang Chen nodded and handed him the tray, "Go up, I'll make arrangements."

Jin Xi took it and nodded, "That's fine. The newcomers bring it with them, and everyone is familiar with it."

Jiang Chen waved his hands and went downstairs.
