Doomsday foresight

I found a place and started working. This time I brought a lot of people here, but a lot of materials still need to be brought from home, because the construction of the village needs a lot of wood, which is the most indispensable. In the past, the forest could not be cut down at will. Now But there is no such scruple, not to mention the fast-growing timber in the forest, just to prevent the village from being annexed, the trees and grass cut down are enough for the village to burn.

The wood used to build the house was cut down in advance and dried in the shade. This time, a lot of wood was brought in by car. After all, the trees just cut down cannot be used to build a house.In addition, some cement is also brought from home. The stone materials are from a nearby mountain. There are always some large and large stones in the mountains by the sea. It is enough to build the wall, but it is artificially waste. With some effort, perhaps the snow has not melted, and the tsunami has disappeared. It has been calm for a few days, and there is no danger. They also hope to take advantage of this time to build the place.

Maybe it's because people's physical strength has increased, and it's clear that the ground is completely frozen, but these people don't feel any effort in digging the foundation.This place can be regarded as their enclave, and they plan to find someone to stay behind in winter, but there can't be many people, at most a dozen people stay behind in a small group, there is no guarantee that no one will pay attention to this place in the future, so they must build it up firmly.

Measure the surrounding environment, as well as the underground situation. This stronghold has been designed. First, a wall must be built around the hill. The foundation must be deep and strong, even five meters deep underground and two meters wide. Some places are used for defense. The width is up to four meters, and there must be room inside.After the wall was built, it was four meters high, but it became higher along the terrain.

The inside of the wall is about 3000 square meters in size. It is a castle-like stone castle-like house. Because of the terrain, some places have two floors and some places have three floors. The entire [-]-square-meter underground has been hollowed out to make an underground space. Store goods.The top of the castle is flat and surrounded by walls like piles of walls. If there is foreign invasion, they can also fight back on the castle. The top of the castle and the open space outside are all paved with stones, which can be used to dry things, because people who come here in summer There are many, and there are few people in winter, so only the first floor of the castle has a conservatory, a fire wall, and even two large fireplaces.

This design makes great use of the space. Standing on the top of the castle, you can see the whole situation down the mountain, but you can't see the top clearly from the bottom of the mountain. It is very good for defense. The larger trees on the mountain will be cut down, and the grass will also be destroyed. Except, when the castle is built, a kind of rattan plant will be transplanted. The root system of that kind of plant is very powerful. As long as it hits the ground, it will keep climbing forward and grow fast. It can climb the entire hill within a month after planting. This kind of plant is still very dense, and it looks like a green carpet from a distance. With this kind of plant, there is no fear of rain or sea water washing away the soil, making the foundation stable, and there is no need to worry about trees blocking the view.

After the blueprints were completed, the construction started. Jinxi was too weak to help. He kept doing simple tasks and was criticized by others. Now the gap in strength between him and others was getting bigger and bigger. Compared with adults, Jiang Chen took him to the seaside when he saw his dejected expression.

Although the weather is warmer now, green plants have been seen under the snow, but the snow has not yet melted, and the ice on the beach is still frozen solid, so the two of them simply went to the sea to have a look.

They climbed up a mountain near the sea, which was obviously elevated, and the top was covered with snow, like a snow mountain. They climbed halfway up the mountain, and from here they could go to the sea. The road at the beginning was more difficult. The shapes are different, because the seawater is frozen layer by layer, uneven, and occasionally there are cracks, so be very careful, the two of them are tied with ropes.

After walking for more than a mile, Jinxi realized that the place where he had just walked might be the patch of reeds, and now he came to the sea surface. Although this place is similar to the front, the ice surface is relatively stable, but because there is snow on the ice, they Be careful to explore the road, and you will fall into the ice cave if you are not careful. This place is no safer than the ice crevice on the snow mountain.

"Look." Jin Xi pulled Jiang Chen and pointed at the ice cubes under his feet.There was actually a piece of fish frozen on the ice in between.

Jiang Chen looked, the thing was not far from the ice surface, "Stay back."

Jinxi backed away, and the iron pliers in Jiang Chen's hand smashed vertically on the ice. With great strength, he inserted it deep in one stroke, and then inserted a few times in other places, and soon the piece of ice was covered by him. Pried it off, "It's really a big fish." Jiang Chen weighed it with his hands, and the fish was half a meter long, and then said in surprise, "This is still a big yellow flower. When did the yellow croaker grow so big?"

When Jin Xi took it, he felt his hands sinking, probably weighing more than a dozen catties, "It's really good, let's see if there are any more, it's been a long time since I ate sea fish."

Jiang Chen smiled, he knew that Jinxi loves fish, no matter what kind of fish he likes to eat, he poured out the contents of the bag without bringing anything, and then used the empty backpack to sweep away the snow on the ice , his eyes are good, and he aimed at the ice surface while sweeping the snow, because the sea water was still flowing when it was frozen, and there were some salt bubbles in the ice, which made the ice surface not clear, even if Jinxi saw it just now. I can't confirm that it is a fish. All they can find is the top of the ice, but the harvest is not small. Maybe those fish were not frozen immediately after being washed up by the water, but also struggled, so many big fish are on the ice. Above the ice surface, as long as you find big fish, there are very few small fish.

The two searched for more than two hours and found four fish, the largest of which weighed more than 30 kilograms. Unfortunately, neither of them knew what fish it was.The other two also weighed seven or eight catties.

It was getting late, and the two of them walked back with their harvest, and when they climbed up the mountain, Jin Xi looked back, smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "Winter is also the harvest season."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "It's not that simple. You saw it along the way just now. There are too many cracks. If you accidentally fall, you won't be able to get up. Besides, it's not so easy to find fish on the snow. We found two Found four in an hour. Too few."

"Don't be dissatisfied. Four fish in two hours is a great harvest. What's more, this fish is so big that it's not easy to pick up such a fish in a day."

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.How could it be so easy, the four fish I found just now were all found within a certain range, and there will be no more fish beyond that range, and they may be sent over by the waves at once. It is too difficult to sweep away the snow above to see the situation below.

The two returned to the station with the fish, and the workers were overjoyed. This is a sea fish, a sea fish. Their village is not close to the sea, and they may not necessarily eat sea food once a year. I didn't expect there to be so many on the ice. sea ​​fish.Everyone clamored to go to the sea to find fish tomorrow.

Jiang Chen didn't stop them, they didn't rush the project at the beginning, and they had to wait until the snow melted to build the house, so it would be no problem to spare a day or two to go out.He also wanted to see how much sea matter could be left on the ice.

What they ate that night was stewed fish. The long-lost taste left everyone in the aftertaste. They made an appointment to find fish on the ice the next day.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone had breakfast and set off with dry food. They planned to search outside for a while. This time they also brought a sled. Although the speed of travel was not fast, it might be good to bring supplies.

For safety, the five of us walk on the same rope separately. If anyone falls into the ice crack, the people on both sides can also pull it. After all, no one wants Jiang Chen to react quickly even if he stepped on the air. Yesterday he stepped on an ice crevice. He didn't fall down because of his quick response. He almost had an accident, let alone others, so be careful.

Things are not as easy as Jinxi thought, just like what Jiang Chen thought, some places are harvested and some places are not. They only found six fish in one morning. If it is calculated by catty, it is not as good as Jinxi and their harvest yesterday. .In order to clear the snow, I made a snow rake overnight yesterday.There are places on the sea where the snow is thick, and in some places the snow is blown away by the wind, directly exposing the ice surface. However, even with tools, their search speed cannot be fast on such a huge ice surface. It is really a needle in a haystack. , Finding fish is all about luck.

When eating at noon, everyone was very depressed. It seemed that this kind of thinking about picking up leaks on the ice was in vain.

"Forget it, clean up and let's go back." Jiang Chen saw that everyone was not in a good mood, so he simply suggested going back.

Everyone lost their excitement, so we packed up and walked back together. Don't look at them tossing around for a long time, in fact, it was only two kilometers away from the shore, and they just went around in circles.

When we went back, everyone was a little tired and a little silent.

"Ah—" There was a sudden cry from the front, Jiang Chen frowned and saw that there were four people lying on the ground pulled by a rope.The person on the other end of the rope had already fallen through the crevasse.

Jiang Chen quickly untied the rope around his waist and said to Jin Xi, "Be careful." After speaking, he ran over.

Jinxi also carefully followed the footsteps of everyone walking forward.

When Jiang Chen walked over there, he saw a big ice crevasse half a meter wide. At this time, the snow on both sides of the ice crevasse had fallen, and the rope was tightened tightly. Saiyin was holding the rope and pulling it up. He stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, and soon the person below was pulled up, and it was Jin Lin.

At this time, Jin Lin's face was a little pale, but he was full of excitement, and his mouth stuttered, "Fish—fish—a lot of fish."

Jinlin was pulled and sat on the ice, regained consciousness, and stood up at once, "There are a lot of fish below, densely packed in the cracks in the ice."

"Really?" Sai Yin's eyes lit up.

"Well, I saw it. A fish even scratched my hand." Jinlin stretched out his hand as he spoke, and sure enough, the glove he was wearing was pulled a big hole. If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have found the fish, and You won't see so many fish in the ice.

Jiang Chen lay on the ice and looked down. It was a little dark below. The crack was in front of them. Because of the slight drop between the two sides, the snow floated on it. The crack where the sled passed just now was no longer big.

There seemed to be something on the white ice, "Chop it open, let's see." Jin Lin couldn't see it very clearly, so he had to dig it open to confirm the situation.

A group of people first moved the sled to a safe place, and then started digging ice with iron pliers as thick as a mop pole. Dig out the soil little by little, but this thing is better at cutting ice.

Soon a large piece of ice was cut open, and then they saw densely packed frozen fish on both sides of the ice crack.

"It's Spanish mackerel. Spanish mackerel." Jin Lin was so excited that he discovered this.

Jiang Chen confirmed it, "This is a school of fish." After speaking, he grinned and patted Jin Lin's head, "You are very lucky, if you do, dig out these fish. They are so old. Enough for us all It’s time for a meal in the city.”

"Oh——" a group of people got excited and started digging ice with pliers.The mackerel group was bigger than they thought, and they dug through the ice surface ten meters around to get all the fish out.It was already ten o'clock in the evening when things were installed.

"Look, Brother Jiang—" Just as everyone was about to leave, Jin Yu suddenly pulled Jiang Chen to point to the west.

Everyone looked in the direction and saw a black shadow over there, which was very clear on the snow surface, and this black shadow seemed to be moving this way.Everyone took a closer look, "Where did this group of people come from?" Jin Lin muttered.

Jiang Chen frowned. His eyesight was better than others, and he could see more clearly. Those people were coming towards them, and they were very fast, as if they were pulling a dog sled. People almost ran on the ice.
