food crisis [end times]

The effort of those who started to prepare to go to work here, the village ushered in the second wave of returning home.

The number of people who died in the village is not sorted out, but when calculated together, there are nearly 200 people!More people died than when the zombies broke out!

It is impossible to verify whether these people died of freezing or starvation.However, the food and property they left behind is definitely a surprise to the survivors in the village.

It is undoubtedly a blow to those who were originally stuck at home because of the snowstorm and were a little too optimistic about the outside situation.

It is precisely because of such a high death rate that the whole village is shrouded in a layer of haze.

The remaining population in the village is not much.

Twenty years ago, the population of the village could reach more than 20.But like other places in the Northeast, the population loss is serious.And the population from the village not only goes to the south, but also goes to the city.

In the past 20 years, a large number of houses in the village have been vacant, and many families have moved to the city.Because housing prices in local cities are not high, some people even have multiple properties in one family.There is a decent building, which is the standard for young people to get married.

Most of the houses in a village are empty, and the whole village is getting quieter and quieter.

Until the end of the world, the population of the whole village has been reduced to just over 800 people.

Later, nearly 200 people came back from the tide of returning to the village, but after the zombies and the dead population in the cold winter, there were only about [-] people in the village.

Although there is another wave of returning to the village, it is still unclear how many people can come back.

After experiencing the cruelty of the cold winter, people's mutual affection became deeper, they walked more among neighbors, and they became more enthusiastic about strangers who came here from outside.

Life is already very difficult, if we don't support each other and make each other's life better, then life in the future will be too difficult.

Just when there was new hope in the village because of the addition of new people and the return of people from the village.

As the weather gradually warmed up, those dead bodies began to turn into zombies and hurt people!

The first zombie to be found wounding someone was an old lady from a family who died of illness.The son of the family is also filial, so he parked the old man's body in the yard, planning to send it to the mountain for funeral after the snow melts, and the family can also pay homage at any time during the period.

Because there are not many firewood at home.Not even cremation, but burial.

With the recent warming of the temperature, the coffin shed can only be used to wear hemp and mourning because there is too little white cloth, which is not enough to be used on the shed, so the coffin shed is covered with black cloth.The black cloth absorbs heat, and the temperature inside the coffin rises.

This day happened to be Qiqi, the old lady. In the afternoon, the son brought his grandson to kowtow to the old lady. As a result, three heads kowtowed to the ground and the old lady sat up.

At first, it was a fake corpse, but after a closer look, it turned into a zombie!

As a result, the old lady got up and was about to bite her son. The son panicked and ran for a few laps before realizing that he should go back to the house first!

But if he didn't pay attention when opening the door, he was scratched by the zombie that his mother turned into.

Then, this poor family completely lost hope.

The patrols were the first to spot it.The patrol team first saw a person lying on the door of the room in a very strange posture, but no one responded.There was no response to throwing stones in the past.

One person went in boldly, only to find that the zombie that the old lady had turned into had been frozen to death again.

The patrol team did not act rashly. They first went to the village committee to explain the situation, then took farm tools and sacks, put the old lady into the sack with their arms around their heads, and put them into the pig cage to prevent the old lady from cheating on the corpse again.

The door hung from the inside.After the violence was pulled away, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy sitting on the ground crying out of breath.

His father was not in the house.The back door was locked from the outside.The patrol team made a detour to the back of the yard, climbed up the wall and peeked in, and saw the father of the child who was completely frozen and huddled in a corner in only his underwear.

After he was scratched, he knew he would turn into a zombie.

Seeing the terrifying look of his mother who once loved him madly biting at him, he was afraid that he would treat his son like that.

I found my mother frozen in front of the door again.He hung the front door and prepared enough water and food for his son to last for several days.He burned the house warmly, and wrote a note to teach his son how to live and keep warm.Then he took off the heavy padded jacket and left it to his son. He wore only a pair of underwear and walked out the back door and locked the door with a big lock.

With longing for his son, he froze alive into an ice sculpture in his backyard.

In fact, when seeing the old lady, no one felt anything, and when seeing the crying child, they just felt sad.

Seeing his father curled up in the corner of the backyard wearing only his underwear, with no expression on his face or even death, everyone's eyes were red.

Especially for those who have become fathers, no matter how strong they are, they can't help shedding two tears when they see this picture.

Until the moment before he died, he was planning for his son.

But he still didn't rest in peace.

Because he understands that it is difficult for a seven or eight-year-old boy to survive for a long time in this world.

Those originally perfect and warm families may all die overnight.

No matter who adopts such a child with no father or mother, I am afraid that the future life will not be easy.

The child's father is gone, and the child's fate is a problem.

The father of the child actually left a will, saying that he wanted the child to be officially adopted and leave with all the food in the family.

But his relatives didn't think so.

Those relatives gathered around the village committee, arguing over the child's adoption.

While talking about their close relationship with the deceased, they said how much they liked children and would raise them as their own sons.At the same time, there are also mutual accusations that the other party wants to greedy for food.

Xiang Luo was called to register for Zhu Yan and An Wei.Because there are a lot of people who have returned to the village recently, I will register again now, and Zhu Yan and An Wei will be counted as the elderly in the village in the future.

It was also at this time that I saw the two families arguing.And the little boy who was the protagonist was sitting in the corner, wearing a thick padded jacket, with a face that was flushed red from the cold, and buried himself in playing with a little Rubik's Cube with his red hands.

Someone passed by and saw the child muttering: "This child is really careless, he doesn't even know he's crying when his father is gone."

The person who was traveling with him helped to say something: "He is only so old, he hasn't figured it out yet."

Listening to the gossip, Xiang Luo glanced at the little boy who was only seven or eight years old.Listening to the noise in the corridor, the scene is very similar to the original self.

When Xiang Luo's parents died, he was under pressure to save his grandma.At that time in the hospital, the second aunt's family and the third uncle's family were as noisy as they are now.

Later, grandma also died. Xiang Luo dreamed of grandma, and then got the ability to predict the future, and said it out of excitement.

Then the second aunt, the third uncle and the uncle's family were arguing over whether to send him to a mental hospital.

The circumstances are different, but the mercenary faces among relatives are indeed so similar.

Xiang Luo squatted in front of the boy and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"

The boy glanced at him, continued to lower his head to play with the Rubik's Cube, and only after a while did he reply in a low voice: "Li Haoran."

Seeing the quarrel of those people, Xiang Luo asked the boy again, "Have you decided where to go?"

The boy's already red eyes were moist again: "I want to go home."

His hope is simple and pure.

It's just that no one would let such a child go home.

Seeing the quarrel over there, Xiang Luo knew that the child's father's wish to be sent to the government would not be fulfilled.

The countryside is the place where the clan is the most important.A child is not just the child of one person, but the child of the whole family.

Both parents of the child died, as long as the people of the same clan did not die, they had to take the responsibility of raising the child, otherwise they would be stabbed in the back by other people in the village.

Therefore, even if it is not for the property left by the deceased, the immediate family members cannot ignore it.

When Xiang Luo's parents died, he was already an adult, and Xiang Jianguo thought about taking him into his family to raise him.It's just that the jewelry and savings left by Xiang Luo's parents, which Qian Shurou wanted so hard at that time, were all squandered by Xiang Luo in order to save his grandmother, and he owed the debt.Qian Shu yelled softly, saying that he would not let Xiang Luo into the house, so he gave up.

And because Xiang Luo can support himself as an adult, he also has enough initiative at this time.

But seven or eight year olds obviously don't.

Xiang Luo went to register with the village chief, and saw that Zhou Zhenhua's eyebrows were also furrowed, obviously worried about this matter.

Xiang Luo listened to the noise outside, and said coldly: "Compared with this, the other corpses are actually more important. Didn't you say that this old lady died of her own life? This way, she can turn into a zombie after warming up, then The others are dangerous too."

Zhou Zhenhua naturally thought of this, and frowned, "It's just that there is still a lack of firewood. This will be burned to ashes, and it will take two days to burn with firewood. Where can I get so much firewood?"

Xiang Luo said: "I remember that there are still some logs in the village. These were chopped up and used as firewood. Then the family members of the deceased were asked to contribute a little more. If it was not enough, they would be collected from house to house.

If these people turned into zombies, the whole village would suffer.I don't believe that people in the village can be so short-sighted and unwilling to give out any dry firewood. "

What Xiang Luo said was also a solution.Zhou Zhenhua nodded and handed the document to Xiang Luo: "Just sign your name at these two places. In the future, if there is a food shortage, you can receive food for three people. They were foreigners before, and there was no such quota. It will be a bit troublesome to think about it. From now on, it will be very convenient to be a villager.”

The persona Xiang Luo brings to outsiders is pretty good. There is no food in the family, and they all rely on the food brought by the local tyrants in the city to survive.But no matter how rich the local tyrants are, they have no foundation, and it would be enough for three young men to eat more food.

Xiang Luo thanked him and was about to leave, Zhou Zhenhua asked him another question.

"I heard that you were playing with mushrooms?"

Xiang Luo gave a meal.It's fine for others to ask this question, how much Zhou Zhenhua asks is subtle.After all, his younger brother was selling mushrooms, and he had a bad reputation in the village because of the mushroom problem.

Xiang Luo turned his head and smiled innocently: "There is, but it's still in the experimental stage, and it's not very successful."

Zhou Zhenhua glanced at Xiang Luo carefully, and then said: "It's a good thing to be able to get it out. But this is also difficult. The sanitation conditions are not up to standard in this world, and this kind of thing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Okay, you go back first."

The deep meaning of these words is unclear, so Xiang Luo just turned around and left as if he didn't understand.

In fact, Xiangluo's mushrooms are almost ready.Recently, I raised [-] bacteria bags at one time.As long as the usage is up to standard, Xiang Luo will start to increase production, and first lead the people around him to raise it together.

If the few people he brought with him are well-raised, Xiang Luo can fully disclose it to the village, and then gather some people to go to the warehouse to bring the raw materials back.

It's just that conflicts with Zhou Zhenxing's family will be inevitable when the time comes.Even if there is no conflict, it is easy to be targeted.

At the beginning, it was his troubles that prevented Zhu Yan from successfully growing mushrooms in the village on a large scale. After the end of the world, Zhu Yan will not have the blessing of capital halo, so things are really hard to say.

The current experimental group's fungus bag has begun to produce mushrooms.A family of three can watch it more than a dozen times a day.

This little mushroom may be related to the hope of the whole village.

I believe it will change the fate of the three of them in the future.

It may be that the movements of the three of them are too frequent. Even Zhu Naonao thinks these are some precious things. Every time he walks around the mushroom bag, he is very careful. When he is free, he smells the mushrooms. The heart has the taste of a tiger sniffing a rose.

Xiang Luo is still worried about the situation with Zhou Zhenxing's family in the future.

It's just that Zhou Zhenxing's family made a big death by themselves first.

Still because of the mushroom problem.

Recently, the price of mushrooms in his house has been getting higher and higher, even reaching the sky-high price of fifteen catties of rice for one catty of mushrooms.

Someone became angry and quarreled with their family, and Zhou Zhenxing scolded him in an extremely arrogant manner, even pointing at other onlookers and scolding them together, saying that they would never even try to buy a mushroom from his family.

Some people saw him arguing unreasonably, and even got scolded by three generations of grandparents.

At that time, there were too many people pulling and fighting.But that afternoon, someone drank alcohol and broke into Zhou Zhenxing's house with the strength of alcohol.

Fried fungus with ham.

This dish was just a common dish on the home-cooked table in the past.According to the cognition of the Northeast, this dish should even be counted among the vegetarian dishes.

But now, it is an extremely precious existence.Fungus may be left over from previous years at home and occasionally eat two, and ham sausage is an absolute treasure among the treasures.

The gate opened, Xiang Luo drove the car into the yard, parked it, closed the gate on the other end and locked it, Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan took the things they brought out of the car.

Xiang Luo introduced Zhu Yan to the couple: "This is Zhu Yan, we live together. We just came over to have a look when we were going out."

Twenty bacteria bags, a large pile of compressed multigrain biscuits and egg whites, things are really heavy enough, you can't say take them down, but move them down!

Luo Changsheng stared blankly: "This is..."

"This is a mushroom bag. Mushrooms can grow when sprayed with water. And these are the food sent by the army. My family does not lack this, and it takes up space, so I brought it together."

The aunt looked at the food for a while before realizing it, and hurriedly said: "How can this be done! No matter how much food you have in your family, these can be stored for three to five years. You can't eat it after you get it for us. manage?"

Although my aunt said that she was worried that Xiang Luo would come to fight the autumn wind, she didn't mean to be honored by the younger generation.It's not easy for anyone in this world. I don't want to be troubled by others, but I don't want to be troubled by others.

"My family has started to grow mushrooms now, and food is not a problem. Since I can get them, I am sure there is no shortage. You can also look at this mushroom bag, and the mushrooms will not worry about selling at this time."

Xiang Luo asked the couple to carry it together, and it was quite heavy for the four of them to carry the seven bags back.There is also a little dried mushroom in it, which is also grown by myself.

After entering the house, my aunt opened the fungus bag and looked at it, smiling from ear to ear: "I read it on the Internet before, and I always wanted to buy it, but I didn't sell it. Did you make this yourself?"

Xiang Luo looked at Zhu Yan: "In fact, it's all other people's technology. It was made by Guan's family during the snowstorm before. I didn't expect it to be quite good."

Only then did Luo Changsheng take another look at Zhu Yan, and he was stunned: "Your friend is quite handsome, you bro?"

Xiang Luo nodded: "We have been at the same table since high school, we are not outsiders."

Not an outsider, these four words are actually very clever.Describing the relationship between oneself and another person to other people represents intimacy, but when two people face to face and say that you and I are not outsiders, it is often hidden in their hearts.

Adults naturally understand this.

Luo Changsheng nodded and smiled at Zhu Yan. His aunt tidied up the things and saw the mushroom holding a handful: "This is a good thing. Let's soak it for a while and fry it with the fungus. You don't know, our rotten wood The fungus on the top, although the quality is not very good, but it is quite satisfying to eat at this time."

Xiang Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can our family raise fungus?"

Luo Changsheng smiled wryly: "Where do we old farmers grow anything? Isn't it cold this year? There is not so much coal at home, and the firewood is not resistant to burning. So I demolished the wooden fence in the backyard to start the fire. But there is a dead person Do you remember the elm tree that has been used as a pillar for several years! Cut it down and put it in the house, maybe it was warm next to the stove, and I accidentally carried some water, and the fungus grew in a few days. We didn’t burn it, Pour some water on it every day, and the fungus harvested now can be dried on the kang for a few taels! But the elm fungus is hard and unpalatable, so you can use it to satisfy your gluttony when you have nothing to eat!"

The taste of fungus grown on different trees is different.Elm fungus is the most special one.In the eyes of most people, this kind of fungus is hard, sticky and brittle, and has a bad taste. If it was thrown on the side of the road in the past, no one would pick it up.

But in this world, it is definitely a rare living treasure.

Xiang Luo glanced at Zhu Yan and asked, "Do you think we can grow it?"

"Try it." Fungi are nothing more than inoculation and cultivation.Although the needs of different varieties are different, what they lack most is time to try.

Luo Changsheng's family didn't know how to plant, but kept the rotten wood moist so that he could grow fungus.This output will not be high, and it may not be enough for my family to eat, let alone use it for food.

"Can you grow it!" Luo Changsheng asked hurriedly.

The author has something to say:

Xiang Luo said: "I can only say that you can try it. After all, fungus and mushrooms are both fungi, and there must be similarities in planting."

"Then I'll saw a piece for you and take it away. I'll just keep half of it at home!" Luo Changsheng smiled brighter.

My aunt hurriedly said: "Actually, it's okay for you to take it all away. You also gave me a fungus bag, which is much more valuable than the rotten wood in my house. It's you and my brother who like to eat this, so keep half of it." You have to feed him!"
