Surviving the end of the world

The Liang family brothers stayed in Xiaohe Village for more than a week, and their life was very nourishing. No matter what happened, the villagers more or less had to change some commonly used medicines, and some villagers who had arthritis and rheumatism found They came to see the doctor, but they are quite capable in this area, and the effect of the plaster is very good. Because of the accident in the past, the broken leg of Li Zizi, the head of the village, often hurts over the years, and now he has put the plaster on for a few days , I feel much better.People in the countryside often have similar problems. Naturally, these brothers have made a lot of money, and they are not stingy. Even if they don’t count as big fish and meat, the three meals a day are a combination of meat and vegetables. It is inevitable to slander a few words, but who can let someone have the skill to live a nourishing life without farming?

The Liang family brothers also know how to behave. Before leaving, they left a simple prescription. The villagers can make some plasters or something by themselves. Even if the medicine is not as effective as theirs, it can still help.

As soon as they left, the village began to think about cotton.

The old captain sighed straight there: "Even if cotton seeds are not enough, we don't have a craftsman who can play cotton here. There used to be one in Dongtou, but he passed away more than ten years ago, and he didn't pass on the craftsmanship. Come down. Besides, how this cotton cloth is woven is also a problem, not to mention the young people in the village, even if we are so old, who has seen these things?"

The villagers all looked at each other in blank dismay. This is indeed a problem. This area has always been a relatively developed area. Since the Republic of China, there have been many spinning and cloth factories nearby, because the woven cloth is cheap. It is also durable, and much more cost-effective than homemade homemade cloth, so this craft is naturally lost. Later, some people here grow cotton in bits and pieces, that is, to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts for themselves, and machines have to be used to remove cotton seeds. Other crafts, that is absolutely not.

Chen Jin interrupted and said, "Don't worry about it. I used to be free and bought some miscellaneous books. Later, I brought them back with me. I'm still at home now! There are some spinning threads and weaving materials used in ancient times on them. I will let a few carpenters in the village make it later, and everyone will be familiar with it, and it will be almost done! Now it is still the problem of cottonseed, which is too far away, and it is still in other counties, and there are at least dozens of miles in between. People, if we bring food to exchange, we will inevitably be targeted!"

Several older villagers were overjoyed when they heard this. The old captain clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I have seen Xiao Chen that you like to study since you were a child, and it is really useful. No, most of the problems have been solved. As for the cottonseed problem, Let’s take a few more people with us just like we changed the salt that time, so it’s safer! Xiao Chen, you go back and find the book, you go to change the cottonseed, and by the way, change some cotton back, let’s let the carpenter make the machine first Hey, it’s too late to talk about planting cotton now, so we have to wait until next year!”

After the regulations were decided here, everyone took the so-called simple map left by the Liang brothers and began to ponder.People in the countryside can't make a map without any trouble. When they study geography and history in middle school, there will be a map at the back of the textbook, but it is a world map and a national map. You can also see the names and names of cities in the province. The general shape, route and so on, it is not clear at all.

This map was bought by the village with ten catties of stewed tofu and two large jars of fried pickles. The route is quite detailed, and some villages that will be encountered on the road are marked. However, judging by their proficiency in drawing maps, Chen Jin doubts them I have sold this map to several companies, no wonder they are still living well in this world, they are too economical.

With the route in place, the village discussed who should be dispatched. Naturally, Chen Jin, Bai Jing and Pingzi were among them, as well as some other young people in the village. The village promised that other people would help during this period. Taking care of the work in the field, the participants were given [-] catties of corn per head. Naturally, there were some criticisms at first, and those who were reluctant to take risks with their children did not say anything more.What's not dangerous these days, not to mention that so many people take care of each other, usually nothing will happen.

When traveling nowadays, most people need to be guarded against. The weather is fine now, and ordinary predators don’t have to worry about food shortages, so they won’t attack humans for no reason. If you have a bad mind, although there are guns in the village now, the bullets are limited. They can only be used as a deterrent, just to reduce the risk. people.

Because I have been out a few times before, and everyone has the experience of traveling long distances, I just need to make less bread and so on. This thing is too dry, eating it will grind my throat, and more pickles and so on. Corn flour mixed with soybean flour Stir-fry and stir-fry, then mix it with water and eat it. If possible, bring a pot and boil some boiling water on the way.

It took almost two days to prepare, and before dawn on the third day, a group of people drove two carriages out of the village.The two zebras have really worked hard in the past two years. The female zebra was pregnant and gave birth to a foal. Now it is being taken care of in the village. It will be useful in another year.

Chen Jin had a sore back and back pain from Bai Jing before, and now she was sitting on the cart, leaning on the bag of grain, dozing off every now and then, Bai Jing had a smile on her face as if she had stolen something, They also squeezed aside and helped Chen Jin rub her waist attentively. As a result, Chen Jin only felt that her waist became more sore, and Bai Jing's eyes burst into flames again.Chen Jin rolled his eyes at him, pushed his hand away, and said in a low voice: "So many people are watching, you are still in heat!"

Chen Jin's white eyes were powerless, and Bai Jing naturally didn't have any pressure, but he still withdrew his hand, showing a little grievance, although Chen Jin knew that he was pretending, but still said softly: "Wait back Let's talk again when we rest!"

Bai Jing's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became more obvious.

The interaction between these two people was naturally noticed by the people around, and they would not intervene without winking, each made a few funny faces, and then pretended they hadn't seen it.

The road was fairly peaceful. At noon, they passed a deserted town. The original cement road had been cracked, and weeds growing on the road were almost half a person tall. Among the ruins, some figures could be vaguely seen. Small animals, most of them are cats and dogs.A group of sparrows hopped among the weeds until the carriage was about to approach, before they flapped their wings and flew away.

A dozen or so antelopes of unknown species were grazing about 400 meters away. Then, a leopard with a rose pattern on its body rushed out of the grass and quickly threw down an antelope. After struggling for a while, it stopped moving, and the leopard dragged the antelope's body away Shi Shiran.

Hirako took a slingshot and took aim at a bird with white spots and its tail feathers curled up for food. However, his marksmanship was accurate, but the slingshot was not accurate enough, and the stone flew past the bird. Startled, it immediately spread its wings, flew up, and quickly flew over several big trees beside it, and disappeared without a trace.Pingzi withdrew his hands regretfully, and said: "It's been a long time since I played, and my hands are raw. I remember when I was a child, in my hometown, I used a slingshot to hit sparrows. Every shot was accurate!"

At the same time, the six sons laughed and said: "Brother Ping, you always said that when you were young, you were a hero and didn't mention your bravery back then, not to mention that you were not sure how you were when you were young!"

Pingzi laughed and chiseled Liu Zi on the head: "Lorry, you're so talkative, believe it or not, I'll take care of you!"

Scarface squinted his eyes, looked at the tumultuous grass not far away, and frowned: "Okay, let's be careful, there are too many beasts here, don't be targeted by these beasts! Even if they don't Cannibals, these two zebras can't run fast with a cart, but they are the best targets!"

Bai Jing pouted at one side, but did not speak. Chen Jin held Bai Jing's hand, shook his head, and then said: "Let's get out of this town, let's find a place to rest! It's sunny now It's poisoned too, you have to wait until the sun goes down before leaving, so you don't get heatstroke!"

Although it is not yet the hottest time of the year, the temperature is generally around 37 degrees at noon. If you want to find a place, just drink some hot water with pickles to replenish the salt, and wait until three or four in the afternoon before setting off.

Therefore, the group of people in the same group naturally agreed. To be honest, it is quite stressful to see a lot of animals that can only be seen on TV in the zoo not far from me. Even if they have seen a few pheasants with bright feathers flying low in the grass at this moment, they can't make them feel any surprises. They don't have any skills. Predators scramble for prey.

Fortunately, the town is not big. After walking along the road in the center of the town for more than half an hour, everyone finally saw the farmland, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

He drove the carriage and stopped by the side of the road. The sycamore trees on the side of the road had already grown very lush, and in the abandoned canal, the dense weeds were just enough for zebras to fill their stomachs.From a distance, you can still see the smoke from the kitchen above the nearby villages. It's too hot at the moment, and everyone doesn't want to move, so they just sit under the shade of the trees, take corn tortillas and eat pickles.There is not much water in the kettle, but no one is in a hurry. On the road, you can see a large piece of reed bamboo a few hundred meters to the south. These are all grown by the river. Go back and fill the kettle before setting off. It's enough, so, amidst the cicadas chirping one after another, a group of people chatted casually.
