Doomsday foresight

The village was ready to wait for the arrival of the wolves, but after seven or eight days, there was no movement, everyone was a little impatient, and some even suspected that the wolves had left here.

Because Jiang Chen has seen the village, he can find some clues of the wolves from the traces of the disaster. This group of wolves is smarter than they thought. Judging from the time they stayed in the village, they are very important to humans. Those with strong hostility, or in other words, they have discovered new prey. Compared with animals in the forest, humans are better at catching them.Humans are already their prey, and Jiang Chen has no illusions about this, so he still controls the villagers from going out to hunt.

After more than two years, Jiang Chen has been recognized by the villagers through his actions and has established his dignity. Although he rarely challenges the authority of the elders in the clan, it is undeniable that in the hearts of the villagers, he is The actual leader of this village will execute whatever he wants to do smoothly, so even if everyone doesn't understand, they still stay in the village honestly and no one goes out.

Slowly until mid-April, the snow on the ground still hasn't melted, but the weather is getting warmer. When you remove the thick layer of snow, you can see the grass growing on the ground, as well as the seeds that were planted last year. , has sprouted now, and some plants that are not afraid of the cold even grow very well, like winter wheat and chives.

The men are stuck at home and have nothing to do. They play poker and mahjong in small groups. Everyone in the village is playing small games, and no one really knows how to gamble. The old people in the village are very careful. , It is very vigilant, so you can play, but you can't gamble.Of course, the young people gathered in the open space specially reserved for the construction of the square, where they wrestled and competed, or played volleyball. Whether the blood relationship is close or not, they are all fun.

Grandma and Second Aunt shaved wool, and now the weather is getting warmer, only fifteen or six degrees below zero. This kind of weather is not too low for the villagers. Some young people even wear a sweater to play outside. Not afraid of the cold.Obviously, everyone's resistance to the cold has improved a lot.The second aunt said that the sheep might not be afraid of the cold anymore, so she urged grandma to shear the wool.I want to knit clothes by myself.

In fact, Jinxi wanted to say that there is a lot of wool at home, Jiang Chen brought a lot back from abroad, brought some back home, and still had a lot left on the plane.It can be used for many years as long as it is stored properly.What's more, the family has no shortage of clothes at all, Jiang Chen got them back, Zhang Zhong got them back, and found them in the city later, Jin Xi felt that it would be a little more frugal to make clothes for the rest of his life.

But in the end Jinxi still didn't say anything, maybe the second aunt and the others were relatively free and had nothing to do, so he didn't care about it in the end, anyway, the wool can still grow after shearing.

He is not as experienced as the villagers, so he is not interested in going to the square to play. That time, grandma and the others went to Liu's house to watch Liu Qiang's mother-in-law make cakes. Jinxi liked it very much. Later, he also went to see it when Liu's house made it. Today It's okay, he also thought about doing it himself.

When steaming glutinous rice, Jinxi first puts soybean noodles in a pot and stir-fries until cooked through, and then adds some sugar to make soybean flour.

Because he wanted to make cakes by himself, he asked Jiang Chen to help him make a wooden trough and a mallet.

After the glutinous rice is steamed, put it in a tank and beat it.

"Why did you do it yourself?" Jiang Chen came back from the outside and saw that Jinxi was alone at home. "Where's our grandma?"

"I'm working with my second aunt and the others in the warehouse in front of me to make wool."

"I'll do it." Jiang Chen washed his hands and got the mallet, and started beating.Jinxi squatted down and changed the positions of the glutinous rice balls to make the beating more even. It really was easier for two people to do this kind of thing.

"How long has this been bad? Does it matter if the rice is broken?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Pound it a little longer, it's better to eat with a bit of elasticity."

"How about a taste?" Jin Xi dipped the bean noodles into the cut cake and handed it to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn't reach out and took a bite of Jin Xi's hand, not sure if it was intentional or not. , put his finger in his mouth.Jin Xi's heart trembled, and her face turned red.

Jiang Chen remained calm, looked into Jinxi's eyes and said seriously, "It's delicious. It's even better than what Liu's made last time."

Jinxi lowered her head and put the cut pieces on a plate, and put the rest in the pot directly to keep warm. "They make the same thing as me, except that it won't taste good when it's cold outside. It's better to eat it now, and it can't be wrapped in bean flour, or it will be hard." Clean up the kitchen and take Walk into the house with the plate of cakes.

"I thought it was so delicious because we made it together." Jiang Chen grinned.Jin Xi walked in front without making a sound, in fact he thought so too.I always felt that there was a special warm atmosphere flowing in the knocking and helping just now.

The two of them went straight into the West Room. Jinxi put the cake on the narrow kang table and took a book from the wall. It was a rattan weaving craft textbook. He is very interested in these practical crafts now. Although there are crises everywhere in their lives, they are much simpler in comparison. They don't need to think about more complicated things. In fact, from the mental outlook of the people in the village, they can find that the village is less impetuous and more stable. , People seem to be more simple, their thinking is no longer complicated, living, and living well is their only pursuit.

Jin Xi feels that there is nothing wrong with this, there is not much intrigue, and life is very solid.

But being practical is practical, there is no TV, no computer, and lack of entertainment activities. I have more free time, and I always have to find fun by myself.Speaking of which, because of his physical condition, he can't play with the young people in the village. Maybe the better his physical fitness, the more brutal the young people in the village play. Every game is like a fight.Fortunately, he doesn't care.

Jiang Chen randomly picked up a joke book, sat on the opposite side of Jinxi, leaned on the pillow, and enjoyed himself while eating rice cakes. His legs were not honest, and the stretched long legs touched Jinxi's calf, up and down. Rub lightly, as if the body is shaking naturally.

Jin Xi was so flustered by him, she moved her legs, and after a while, she came up again, Jin Xi rolled her eyes and gave Jiang Chen a white look, but the man smiled heartlessly, as if it was not intentional .

He did it on purpose!Jin Xi looked away, blushing.

"Brother Jiang—" Ye Ke suddenly ran in from the outside.

Jinxi hurriedly turned his body sideways to face the window, Jiang Chen couldn't help being amused, and pulled his body up. "What-"

"An accident happened on Dongshan. Their village was also slaughtered by wolves. Only seven of them were fine and came to our village."

"What?" Jiang Chen sat up straight when he heard that, "Seven ran out, there must be a lot of people in their village."

"Well, these seven went out hunting and came back to find the wolf pack. The wolf pack had at least 150 wolves and surrounded the village. They couldn't get in, and they were almost discovered by the wolves. They didn't know until the wolves left this morning. When I went back, I didn’t expect that there was no one left in the village.”

Jiang Chen frowned, "Go over and have a look."

Jinxi also went there together. These seven people were in the patrol residence of Dongdaemun. As soon as Jinxi and the others entered the house, they saw the seven people. They were all men, and two of them were in their 40s. The remaining five are all under 25 years old.

The town on the other side of Dongshan was destroyed by meteorites. Later, people who came from the city built villages there and stayed there. Although they were transferred later, although they also got letters, it was a pity that they did not catch up, and finally stayed. From here, there is nothing to rely on, and the relationship with the village is not bad, exchanging supplies and so on, there is not much friction.These people are very smart, knowing that they can't leave, they made preparations. Although they are not as deep-rooted as Yejia Village, as long as people have that kind of spirit, they can always live well. Last year, Jiang Chen and the others went hunting in the mountains, and these people also organized The hunting team also took in several villages in the east. Those villages had a small population and were more dependent after the merger. These people were familiar with the city, acquired a lot of weapons, and gained a lot from hunting.

It's just that they didn't expect their village to be destroyed like this.

"Don't you have walls, why are you captured by wolves?" Jiang Chen asked.He had to figure it out.Because the wall built with stones in their village is more than four meters high, this news is too dangerous.

"We don't know. We went for a week this time. When we came back, Lin Guo smelled blood. We checked carefully. We didn't expect to see those wolves. There were too many of them. We couldn't get past them. They were all three A group of five, if we passed them together, we would not be opponents at all. Later, we thought about climbing Dongshan and going around from the back. As a result, we had just climbed halfway, and saw many wolves coming out of the village. I probably looked around enough There were 150 wolves. Then they ran eastward. Then we went back to the village, and we saw, we saw—" The man was choked up and couldn't speak.

"It's all gone." A young man in his twenties muttered numbly.

Jiang Chen frowned.

Jiang Chen asked Ye Qiu to settle down a few people. The seven people were greatly stimulated, and they probably wouldn't be able to recover for a while. "I have to go again. I have to find out how these wolves got into the village."

"No, it's too dangerous. There are too many of them. If we actually encounter them, the guns won't work. Their noses are very sensitive, so it's impossible to guard against them." Jin Xi frowned.

"But—" Jiang Chen had something else to say.

Jinxi interrupted him, "You can't go, the village is on alert. Since they have gone to the east village, there is no reason why they should not come to our place. From where they attacked, we can see that our area has become their hunting ground. "

Jiang Chen wanted to refute, but he also understood that a small force could not resist this pack of wolves. Speaking of which, they didn't know the specific situation last time, and it was already very dangerous for them to go to the northern village.

Jinxi stopped Jiang Chen, and then went back home and went to sleep directly on the kang. He has no better way now, anyway, he can't help with defensive matters, if he can dream about it in a dream, it is also a way.
