Surviving the end of the world

Chen Jin and Bai Jing were also among the spectators just now. We met now. Chen Jin thought about it, and quickly went back and brought out a lot of old clothes. These clothes didn't fit him and Bai Jing anymore. It’s okay to leave it alone, it’s better to take it out to warm others.

In addition to the clothes, I also took a bagful of sweet potatoes and potatoes that had been baked in the stove before, and gave them to a few people standing outside the door, and said, "You guys share them first, they will still grow this winter!"

Several people thanked them repeatedly, and rushed to the house with their clothes and the bag of sweet potatoes that were about to dissipate the heat, and someone went to call the women who were still crying. Chen Jin didn't look much, and pulled Bai Jing's hand slowly walked towards the old captain's house.

Several villagers were helping several children to rub their bodies. There was already a large bathtub in the house, and several women poured the hot water from the stove into the bathtub. Just put them in the tub.

And those who have children also found out the sweater and padded jacket worn by the children, and took them over. Regardless of what they think of the adults, most people will feel unbearable when they look at these skinny, yellow and emaciated children.

The old captain and the others were not idle either. While serving a few bowls of steaming polenta and distributing them to several people, they began to wonder how to exchange meat for clothes and quilts.

At times like this, don't say anything generous, life has already forced even the most generous people to care about every detail. These days, even if you are a wealthy family, wine and meat can't smell bad.

Chen Jin dragged a somewhat lame stool and sat down with Bai Jing, and looked at the things brought by those people. They had indeed been cleaned up, the internal organs were removed, and the fur was also peeled off, but, Chen Jin wanted to come to think of it, so little time was not enough for them to tan those furs, and those obviously cured meats were so hard because they were frozen overnight last night that they could be used as murder weapons.

Chen Jin already knew the names of these people. The leader was still in the same family as Chen Jin hundreds of years ago. His surname was also Chen, and his name was Chen Dong. He said he was just over 30, but he looked half-old , his face was full of wind and frost, and there was some gray in his messy hair. It must have been very unsatisfactory for the past two years.

Chen Dong was squatting on the ground holding a bowl of porridge, gulping it down, almost licking the bowl after finishing drinking, and the other people were similar, so Uncle Li hurriedly greeted someone to fill another bowl for them, Chen Dong As he drank and drank, his eye circles were red, and he said with some embarrassment: "It's been a long time since I had a decent meal!"

The old captain sat on the kang and coughed twice: "It's not easy for everyone these days! I don't know where you come from?"

Chen Dong licked the corner of his mouth, and then said: "We came from City D, and we were working in the suburbs there, and then I started a family there.

Didn’t something happen that year? There was no one in my hometown, so I didn’t go back, so I stayed in D city.

The place where we worked was originally a large factory area, which produced everything. Relying on the grain in the warehouse there, we took out most of the factory buildings and planted land there, and survived at least.

Then there was an earthquake, and I only had time to save my son. My wife was only half-breathed when she was rescued, and she was still gone after two days of suffering. "Speaking of this, Chen Dong sniffed, and suddenly cursed: "Damn it, there was an earthquake, there was a problem with the nuclear power plant, and they didn't think of a way to seal it up. Yes, it is said that they were withdrawn to H province, and some were evacuated to S province and XZ. Those of us did not even receive the news. "

These people are really out of luck. When they heard that the nuclear leak was leaked, they all knew the seriousness. They hurriedly dragged their families and fled. Back pouring, another group of people were washed away by the sea.

They also knew from other refugees that there was a safe zone here, so they came all the way.

The six sons asked from the side: "Where did you get those bows and crossbows you brought, they look good!"

Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, but he still said, "I did it all by myself!"

Everyone present was taken aback, their eyes widened.

Chen Dong smiled wryly: "There's no need to lie to you, we really did it ourselves! We used to work in machinery processing factories. We can't do anything else. We know how to use lathes and so on. .

There was a lot of chaos in our area that year, except for a few guns in the security department of the factory, there was nothing!We can't help it. It just so happens that there was a college student in our factory who was a mechanical designer. He liked knives and guns very much. He also borrowed the lathe in the factory and made alloy swords himself!He died of that strange illness that year, and the family didn’t have time to collect the relics. We found some blueprints in it. There were all kinds of bows and arrows. We made some according to those blueprints and distributed them to the factory. People inside! "

"Why didn't you do more?" Pingzi asked.

"How can there be such a simple thing?" A small man next to Chen Dong put down the bowl in his hand, sighed, and said, "Everything needs to be done by machine. At that time, the factory had no power supply for a long time. Yes, we also need farm tools for land reclamation in the factory area, plus those bows and crossbows and matching arrows, we almost used up all the diesel used for power generation in the factory, and later, we had to process some Use a machete or something!"

The villagers were a little disappointed, those crossbows are good things!If dozens of them could be equipped in the village, they wouldn't have to be suffocated inside the fence, and they could still hunt rabbits outside like these people.

Chen Dong gritted his teeth and said, "I still remember those bows. Although the continuous crossbow cannot be made without machines and suitable materials, it is not too much trouble to make bows and arrows that are close to each other. I can make them." Give you the blueprint, and help you do it!"

Pingzi narrowed his eyes: "What about the conditions?"

"We're not greedy either!" Chen Dong didn't think too much, and said directly, "Yesterday, several of our children were gone, and now there are only a few left. We adults can survive this weather, The children can't survive! We just ask you to take these children through this winter first, and when the weather is warmer, we will leave immediately, and we will never cheat!"

The villagers hesitated. The so-called half-children, eating poor old man, these children are growing and developing, and they were malnourished before. If they really keep them, who will stay in them and how much they will have to eat to get enough? !Is it worth it for the bow and arrow that I don't know if I can make it or not!

Thinking of this, someone said it directly, and Uncle Li didn't hide it, and said, "We're not trying to shirk. Two years ago, or even last year, we might have agreed, but you probably don't know that today's The land is not easy to grow. Our side can only grow one season of grain a year, and we dare not grow any rice. Those of us who are used to eating rice have not smelled rice for several years! In the past two years, the land Potatoes and sweet potatoes are the most grown here. The land here is thin, and there is no chemical fertilizer or anything. Bugs and animals in the wild waste some of it, and there are only so many that can be recovered. I have to calculate and eat it! It is really difficult to raise one more person!"

When Li Sanshu said this, several villagers in the house also complained about their hardships. Chen Dong also understood that there is no material, and the blueprints are useless. There are too many processes, even if it is a bit inferior, it will probably not be completed within a year or so. Instead of this, it is better to train a blacksmith and directly tinker with earthen guns. The technical content is not high.

Also, these days, fools can't survive.

Chen Dong and the others got together to discuss for a long time, and then began to bargain with the villagers. After a long time, they made a decision. The decision was based on the fact that each child ate half a catty of grain every day. After all, most people in the village lived in winter , because there are few activities, in order to save food, they often cook porridge, drink it from morning to night, and bake some sweet potatoes to eat at most. You may not be able to eat it.

Moreover, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not considered serious food, and there is too much water.

They exchanged the meat they got from hunting, because the meat had bones in it, and although it was delicious, it didn't taste like anything. Therefore, one catty of meat was worth two catties of grain.

The two sides reluctantly reached an agreement, and the old captain began to assign which children to which family, giving priority to those who had no children at home.

Naturally, Chen Jin and Bai Jing were chosen, and Chen Jin put his arms around Bai Jing's waist and said: "We are like this, don't teach the children wrong, and then we will have something to say!"

Just kidding, when there is nothing to do, Chen Jin and Bai Jing stay in the space. It’s so good in there, you can have everything, you can eat rice and noodles, vegetables and fruits, and you can kill a chicken and duck almost every day. , not to mention how comfortable life is, if there are multiple people in the family, you have to sneak in and out of the space, and you can't eat meat by yourself, let's give porridge to other people's children, how sorry it is!Rather than causing resentment at that time, it is better to push it away from the beginning.

Even when the speech is open again, it is shouted that it does not discriminate against homosexuals, but no one wants their children to be homosexuals, except for the rotten girls who are NC, they are simply extraterrestrial creatures, not to mention those people are just talking Let's talk about it, if it's their turn, I'm afraid they won't be so enlightened.

As soon as Chen Jin said this, the people present looked at Chen Jin's arms around Bai Jing, and Bai Jing's similarly intimate movements, and immediately gave up their minds.
