walk alone.

It is estimated that the trip to the county seat brought a lot of touch to the old village head. Qin Bin and the three finished their lunch for a long time under the loving eyes of the two old ladies before Mr. Chen returned home with a tired face.Seeing his wife's tired face, Mrs. Chen quickly brought out the food that had been warming on the stove. Mr. Chen was so hungry that he ate without saying much.

"Is Xiaolei all right? Did Xiaolei lend you the electric tricycle in the yard?" After eating and drinking, Mr. Chen finally regained his strength. He said to Qin Bin and the others asked.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with Leizi. Laitou and his gang have already taken care of it. When we came back, Leizi asked us to bring back a lot of salt and other condiments, as well as honey, rock sugar, white sugar, and cooking oil. "

"What's going on in the county, please tell us quickly." Mrs. Chen guessed from the few words and expressions of her wife and children that the situation in the county might not be good, but she was lucky because she was afraid. She thought it might not be as bad as she thought.Mrs. Chen had been conflicted in her heart for so long, and finally she couldn't help asking eagerly.

"Hey..." Mr. Chen is one thousand and ten thousand unwilling to tell his wife the truth. It's just that this matter can be hidden from the first day of junior high school, but it can't be hidden from the fifteenth day. It's better for them to know earlier, at least they have enough time to prepare psychologically Prepare.Therefore, Mr. Chen briefly stated everything he knew in a heavy tone.

"Oh my God, how is it possible! It's only been a few months, and the outside world has become like that!" The two old ladies were shocked and speechless for a long time, they just looked at the gloomy faces of the children, their hearts The little bit of luck disappeared in an instant.

Qin Bin and the others didn't know how to comfort the hard-hit old lady, so they could only hold their shriveled and old hands tightly, expressing their respective concerns silently.

"Grandpa, you went to the threshing ground for a meeting as soon as you got home today. What did the old village chief arrange?" Liu Qingquan is very dissatisfied with his age now. If he is a few years older, other adults will not Hui always treats him like a child, and he doesn't even care about the village meeting.At the same time, thinking of Wang Lei, who was the same age as him, Liu Qingquan felt a little ashamed. He had already sheltered hundreds of people with his own efforts, and he was playing house with a group of children. It was really shameful!

"The old village chief gathered everyone together and told everyone about the current situation in the county. Those who came from the city may leave in a few days, and they will probably go to the base in H City. The villagers in our village There are also a few families who are hesitant. They want to go with the city people, but they are not willing to part with the farmland and the house. I don’t know what their final decision is. However, most of the families in the village are unwilling to leave, saying that they will die even if they die. In our village. Then everyone discussed the future path of our village. Chen Zhenxing of the East Village proposed to build a high wall around our village to resist the mutated animals on the mountain. But now bricks and cement are not easy to get. Finally, everyone discussed I decided to build a frame between the saponins trees that surrounded our village and pull hemp ropes, and plant roses, horseshoes, and pepper trees. The thorns on the branches of these things are very strong. When they grow up, they will not be afraid. Those mutated animals broke into the village casually."

"This is a good idea. There are many thorns on the saponin tree. At that time, no matter how powerful the mutated animals are, if they want to enter our village, they will have to think carefully!" Yu Hui clapped his hands and praised, this idea is really brilliant.It saves worry and labor (saves the trouble of transporting bricks and looking for cement), and is economical and reasonable (saponica and rose have medicinal value, pepper is a good seasoning, and saponin can be used as soap), this method It's wonderful!

"Thank God, thank our old ancestors of the Chen family, they must have counted on such a day to plant so many saponin trees around our village! Fortunately, the old people in the village stopped them in time, otherwise they would have saved our whole life. The saponin tree that was the life of the village was cut down by those unscrupulous businessmen..." Mrs. Chen was shocked too much for a while, and became a little confused, but Liu Qingquan and the others did not refute anything, after all, the current situation There is no way to explain it with science. Maybe there are gods in this world?Or, the suffering they have suffered today is the punishment of the gods for those who have no faith?

After all, it is related to the lives and wealth of the villagers, even the one who likes to be lazy and slippery, does not dare to be blatantly lazy at this time, otherwise, he will have to face the anger of the entire Zaojiao Village villagers.And the villagers of Zaojiao Village also have a common characteristic that I don't know whether it is good or bad, that is, they are extremely xenophobic.Although they don't like people like Qin Bin and Yu Hui, these two teenagers are kind to the children of many families. They not only taught them martial arts for self-defense, but also indirectly broadened the children's horizons. In addition, they have no one to rely on except Chen and Lao San's family, and they are destined to stay in the village for a lifetime in the future. Therefore, although the villagers don't talk about it, they have gradually accepted them.As for the others, they were not so lucky. When they could drive on the road, the villagers threw them out of the village without giving any thought to those households in the city.Seeing that the world has changed now, the villagers are not afraid that those city people will retaliate in the future. Many villagers who are full of anger have a very tough attitude, but they are very angry.

After "sending away" several urbanites who moved into Zaojiao Village a few years ago and the "traitors" with ambiguous attitudes, the reconstruction of Zaojiao Village immediately started in full swing.Fortunately, the houses of the villagers are generally very large, and they used to raise more chickens and ducks in their homes. Because the work of preventing theft (not only preventing people from stealing, but also preventing wild animals in the mountains) is very important, 90.00% of the small farmyards in Zaojiao Village have There are roses that not only look beautiful, but also protect against thieves. Of course, there are also many vestiges and pepper trees.Every household moved some from their own yards, men, women and children joined the battle, and within a week, the "high wall" of Zaojiao Village was built.Although those low roses, vests, peppercorns, etc. have not yet grown up and look sparse, everyone has no doubt at all. When midsummer comes, even if the wild wolves from the back mountain want to enter their village, they have to weigh it carefully. !

After the "wall" was built, the villagers, under the leadership of Chen Zhenxing, the old village chief and deputy village chief (just elected by the villagers), used red bricks, sand and sand prepared by several households in the village who were planning to build new houses and marry new wives. With cement, a high wall as strong as a prison wall was built at the mouth of the valley, and four watchtowers were even built with the remaining building materials.Two are at the mouth of the valley, one is near Mr. Chen's house, which is the closest to the back mountain, and the other is in the East Village on the other side of the Woshui River.Fortunately, there are two or three construction teams in Zaojiao Village. They traveled all over the world and learned a lot. Without the help of automated machinery, they completed the task in half a month.

One month later, the "reconstruction" work of Zaojiao Village was completed one after another, and the work of recruiting the Self-Defense Forces was put on the agenda by the village cadres.During the "reconstruction" period of Zaojiao Village, the accumulated snow for five months had completely melted away. Many curious villagers in the village wanted to go to the county seat to see it, but they didn't see it with their own eyes. clear.The old village chief didn't stop him when he saw this, and asked the youth self-defense team headed by Yu Hui to take the curious villagers to the county to have a look.The luck of their group was not very good. Before entering the county, they encountered a three-way melee of a mutant python, a mutant lion and a mutant bear.That scene can be described as an exciting American sci-fi blockbuster.Fortunately, Yu Hui was cautious and didn't disturb the three behemoths who were very devoted to beating them. Before the three terrifying guys had time to deal with them, they quickly drove away in the car.The original driver of the minibus had long been paralyzed by the shocking scene.

On the way back, the previously elated villagers were silent. After all, the scene they saw just now was beyond their imagination.And it wasn't until this moment that the trace of luck in their hearts finally dissipated.

"Why don't those mutated animals go to the mountains?" After a long silence, a person asked tremblingly.

"Those are probably animals in the zoo. They are used to the man-made environment, so they probably can't adapt to the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Fortunately, the generations of our village have never gone hunting in the deep mountains, otherwise those beasts with such good memories would not have eaten us alive!"

"Yes, my ancestors bless..."

Listening to the discussion of the villagers, Yu Hui who was driving the car pouted disapprovingly.Others may not know it, but he knows it very well as he has a mad scientist in his family.According to Qin Bin's long-term experimental research conclusions, those wild beasts do not take the initiative to attack humans, which probably has nothing to do with the ancestral precepts of the Chen family's ancestors.They don't take the initiative to go down the mountain to attack humans, it's entirely because human meat is not tasty. After all, compared with those animals that have benefited a lot, humans get very little benefit from the special substances contained in the snow, so in comparison In other words, human flesh has no obvious effect on the further evolution of those mutated animals.Coupled with the fact that there are mutated animals all over the mountain running around, those mutated beasts will naturally not look far away.Of course, except for animals whose simple minds are filled with thoughts of hating humans, and animals who are provoked by humans are also excluded.

The first batch of "visiting groups" came back in a hurry, which made the atmosphere in the village quite low. Fortunately, the leadership team in the village is full of capable people. Among other things, they are very good at encouraging the atmosphere. Let's open a After listening to a few speeches, everyone passed through the period of confusion and hesitation.
