The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was almost dark, and the black clouds were thick and heavy, which made people startled. After finding nothing from Dahei, Lin Yang planned to go home.

As for the boa constrictor, it's better to leave it to Dahei to wake up with extra food. Anyway, this guy doesn't have enough to eat, and he can't support it to death.

"Buck!"

When walking halfway, Lin Yang heard a familiar voice, why did the voice sound so similar——Xiao Zi!

"咴咴咴!" The voice became more and more urgent, afraid that no one would hear it, and kicked and stomped. Of course, if it wasn't for Lin Yang's sharp ears, no one would be able to hear the heavy rain.

He walked along the sound, and he didn't know when a big ditch was washed out here, almost three meters deep, but only one meter wide, filled with muddy rainwater, and it was possible to step on it if he was not careful. Go down, and then can't get up.

Xiao Zi is such an unlucky person. It was sleeping in the house during the heavy rain, but suddenly it was pinched by a big crab disguised as rotten wood. Because of these things, he ran out of the village in a panic to find Lin Yang and Dahei, but he didn't expect to step on a ditch, and his voice became hoarse, but no one noticed.

"Xiao Zi, why did you run out? Little pig!" Lin Yang's face changed, thinking of the reason why Xiao Zi came here in the rain, something must have happened in the village.

Lin Yang ran away, ignoring Xiao Zi who was still struggling in the pit.

"Bah, bah!" Xiao Zi yelled anxiously, asking if he could be rescued first.

Finally, someone came and ran away again, Xiao Zi almost despaired, "Bah, bah..."

Fortunately, this place is not far from Dahei's nest. After Dahei woke up, he heard the sound and pulled it out of the big ditch.

Before he got close to the village, Lin Yang could smell a faint smell of blood in the air. Besides the smell of blood, there was also a fishy smell?

Lin Yang felt a little strange, so he quickened his pace. If he had known that he would not go out today, and he should have gone back when the villagers told him to go back just now, he should discuss it with the big black bear!Someday we can't discuss it, so why are we so brave today.

However, when he returned to the outside of the village, he was a little dumbfounded. He saw that most of the people in the village were riding on high walls, old people, children, sisters-in-law and aunts... those in poor health were wearing umbrellas and cloaks.

"Dad, Dad!" The twins were also on the wall, they saw their father from a long distance, they opened their hands and called him loudly, before he opened his mouth to ask, they all came out chattering.

"Dad, there are crabs in the village, a lot of crabs, let's eat crabs tonight."

"My little dad is amazing, he crushed them all into crab meat sauce, hahaha."

"Dad is so strong, Dad, I also caught a lot of crabs, I am better than my brother..."

The two children were very excited, and they babbled incoherently, but Lin Yang still understood what they meant, and seeing their bright eyes, no one in the family should be injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Lin Yang is back."

"Lin Yang, don't open the door, wait a moment, I'll ask someone to pull you up to the wall." A few people who were resting on the wall, tired from smashing stones and mills, called to stop Lin Yang, and then untied the rope to put it down to pull him.

"No need." Lin Yang waved his hand and climbed up the wall with a short run.

"Why are there so many crabs in the village?" Lin Yang was startled when he saw the crabs crawling all over the ground. The purple and black claws stretched out, covering almost the entire ground. In the dark sky, it looked scary.

"That's quite a lot!" Yufeng's sister-in-law is in charge of taking care of the children riding on the wall in the village. She shouted back to Lin Yang: "It was only a few hours earlier when the crabs came out of the lake one by one. , piled up like a hill, we hid on the roof and were pulled down by them, and we were almost demolished by them."

Although no one had demolished the house, the house was completely ruined. Sister-in-law Yufeng was still terrified when she thought of that moment. Layer after layer of crabs wielded two large pincers, which were sharper than machetes. Hot Wheels - stepping on a stone mill to transfer people to the wall of the village, hiding on the roof is really embarrassing.

Also, the fence in their village is really good. It can not only block the dangers outside, but also hide on the wall at critical moments. Because the wall is high enough and wide enough, there is no need to worry about people falling.

Lin Yang also saw asparagus now. He held an umbrella in one hand, held a stick in the other, and stepped on the big stone mill. Wherever there were many crabs, he would press them there. Occasionally, crabs would climb up the stone mill. Hit it with a stick.

His daughter-in-law is so beautiful, her fair face has become flushed due to the whole body's exertion, a thin layer of sweat oozes from her forehead, her eyes are dark and deep, her expression is very serious, and her tightly pressed lips are also rosy and lovely.

People are stepping on a big rock and grinning their teeth. In order to maintain balance, let alone open an umbrella, I am thankful that I didn’t fall down. Some people fall down after stepping on it twice, and other people have to save them. Tsk tsk, one by one, set off him The Asparagus bamboo really looks better the more you look at it.

"My father is so handsome." Wenzhu's two young fans spoke out for Lin Yang.

"Dad has stepped on the stone mill for the longest time in the village. Others have rested for several rounds, but Dad has never rested."

What?Wenzhu never took a break, no wonder his head was sweating, Lin Yang felt distressed, "Sister-in-law Yufeng, please help me take care of our twins, if you need something, I will help."

Yufeng's sister-in-law responded immediately: "Okay, don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen to these little bastards."

"Grapefruit, Chengzi, don't move around, just call Dad if you need something, you know?" After explaining to the two children, Lin Yang jumped straight down. With his current strength, he can directly crush these crabs with one kick, so Soon he jumped onto the big stone mill that Wenzhu stepped on, took the umbrella from Wenzhu's hand, and said distressedly: "Little pig, I'll come, you rest for a while."

Asparagus was actually very tired, so he didn't try to be brave, he simply handed over the things in his hand, his feet moved with the millstone, but his body didn't exert any force.

The big crabs couldn't see their heads one by one, Lin Yang asked: "Why did the crabs climb up the shore suddenly? Has the village figured it out, what is the reason?" It is impossible to climb up for no reason.

"I don't know." Asparagus wiped the sweat from his head, and said helplessly, "It was really sudden. Not long after you left in the morning, most people in the village were still in bed, and they were blocked by these crabs. A dozen people in the village of Uncle Ah Qing and Brother Hong Wen were pinched and their legs were broken.

Now the guess in the village is that there are too many crabs in the lake, and it has been raining a lot lately. These crabs came out to expand their territory, or they went ashore suicidally, and they just wanted to consume the number. "

Lin Yang shook his head: "Not necessarily, I think it's a water quality problem. The recent rain has been heavier than usual. I guess they couldn't stand it in the lake, so they ran ashore."

"I said that there are no big fish in the lake recently. It turned out to be full of these things." Some people around heard the conversation between the husband and wife and replied: "It must be Dahei who has caught all the big fish in the lake. There are no big fish in the lake, and crabs are called kings, which makes them a climate in the lake."

"Even if the other fish are smaller, Dahei can still eat them, but crabs are covered with shells. Even if Dahei catches them, he will throw them away. The crabs in the lake are not in danger of being eaten. No wonder they can grow so fast."

"Do crabs have natural enemies?" Someone asked.

"Hahaha, natural enemies? Humans, aren't they just humans!" In the past, crabs the size of washbasins, let alone crabs with the size of fists, were probably eaten before they could grow to be extinct, but now... It’s not that they dare not eat it, but there are only so few people in the village, how much they can consume, and if they eat too much of this stuff, how much food and vegetables they eat will be neutralized with the three holy grasses, which is not worthwhile!Just taste it.

But they don't eat, they can't finish eating, there are people outside!Soon someone in the village thought of it and shouted loudly: "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, does anyone collect crabs outside? Crab meat, crab powder, crab yellow sauce, do you want it?"

If someone collects it, it will be considered cheap, but with so many crabs, they can be exchanged for some salt and cloth. These two things are the most lacking in the village now. Almost everyone has taken a fancy to these things that Zhou Yi brought back.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a while, and thought it should be ok. The water quality of the lotus lakes in Lianhua Village is good, and the crabs raised are better than the wild demonized animal meat outside. Maybe they can be rated as a second-class food grade.

Hehe, thinking about it this way, the crabs all over the ground are so hideous, they are simply cute little ones walking all over the ground.

With the affirmative answer from Zhou Yi and his group, the rest of the village didn't feel bored seeing the piles of crabs piled up on the ground. Here is a catty of salt, there is a piece of cloth, a bag of new seeds, a pair of new rubber shoes, and a new pot. ...

Wow, my eyes are clear, my waist is not sore, my legs don't hurt, and I can push the stone mill for two hours at a stretch.

Of course, no matter how much they say, the crabs on the ground must be cleaned up first, or they will all have to sleep on the top of the wall by the crabs and spend the night on the top of the wall.

However, the old people and children on the wall now have nothing to do except cheer for the people below. The people below the wall throw the crabs that were killed, and they set up a large pot on the wall to cook the crabs, and then remove the crab meat and crab roe. , As for the crab shell, although it can be ground into crab powder, the processing procedure is too troublesome, and they don't even like it. If they have that skill, they might as well dismantle more crab meat, which is delicious and easy to sell.

However, the crab shells can be thrown aside first, and when enough are collected, they will all be thrown into brick kilns or charcoal kilns to be burned into ashes, and then sprinkled into the ground as fertilizer. With the farming experience accumulated in the past few years, they found that if some monster bone meal is sprinkled in the ground, In addition to being able to fertilize the land, there will be fewer bugs.

A canopy was propped up on the top of the wall, a big stove was set up, and everything was transported up. Thanks to the high wall, the top of the wall alone was two meters wide, otherwise these people would not have been able to make trouble.

Lin Yang also came out with a big pot from home, and the twins were in charge of grilling crabs on the wall. Contrary to adults, Yuzi and Chengzi originally thought crabs were very interesting, but now they hate crabs no matter how they look at them, woo woo woo, why are there so many of them? , When are they going to play, his hands hurt so much, his arms are so tired, wow, dad brought up another big basket, it's terrible!

The crabs in the village had to be cleaned up for three full days before they were slowly cleaned up. The rest of the crabs returned to the lake as the rain in the sky became smaller. 100% can be caught.

But no one in the village is willing to go fishing for crabs anymore. After a few days of tossing, everyone now feels like throwing up when they hear the word crab. The whole village is surrounded by crabs, and the tips of their hands and noses are full of crabs. The life of crabs with eyes closed has become their nightmare.

This group of big crabs only came for three days, but the damage they caused could not be recovered for three months, maybe three years. The house was cracked in the thunderstorm. Before it could be repaired, this group of big crabs waved their The big pliers clicked and clicked, and the wall foundation was basically destroyed. The door panels, windows, tables and benches in the house, clothes, quilts, shoes and socks, and the big crabs clicked whatever they saw. After they left, the room was in a mess.

I don't know if the crab roe and crab meat that have been dismantled can be sold to make up for the losses at home. Fortunately, the food they just recovered this year was not damaged much. Everyone dug the cellar, except for some people who compare Unlucky, he was touched into the cellar by crabs, and the food in the cellar was fine and untouched.

The outer wall of Lin Yang's house was not damaged, but the house was in a mess. Asparagus was a little annoyed. He ran too fast at that time. If he remembered to close the door, there would be a solid barrier on the door, and crabs would not be able to get in at all.

"It's okay. It would be strange if nothing in our house was damaged. It's just right now." Lin Yang comforted him.

It’s not like nothing was destroyed in their house. Most of the bricks and stones found in the abandoned factory were used to build this house. It was blown by wind and rain. There are also cracks on the wall, but they are not obvious. Now that the big crabs run over them, all these cracks are exposed. It looks as miserable as other new houses in the village that have been repaired for less than two years.

During the rest of this rainy season, every household is busy repairing the house and the damaged items at home, and can no longer sleep comfortably at home like in previous years.

As for Zhou Yi and his group of homeless people, they don't have any property, and the damage is very limited. However, they will look at them and actively help the villagers repair their houses without being called. At that time, the villagers' impression of this group of people had changed greatly.

There was even a man who successfully "married" into their village.

Lin Guang was bitten to death by a mosquito when he first organized people to go out in the village. His parents died during the high temperature, and his wife was the only one left.

No matter how much the village helps, there is still a big difference between having a man and not having a man in the family. At least a lot of heavy work, such as farming and harvesting, is much easier to discuss with multiple people in the family than to be done by one person.

□□It's not that I didn't think about looking for them in the village these years, but there are only so few people in the village, so it's either inappropriate or wrong.

People in the village built a new house in the abandoned factory. She gritted her teeth and built a new house as a single woman. She wanted to prove that even a woman would not live worse than anyone in the village.

But in a thunderstorm, other people's houses were only cracked, but hers' house collapsed into ruins due to the poor foundation or something, which made her want to cry without tears.

If the house breaks down, it breaks down. No one is dead. She still has food and can live in an air-raid shelter. But when the crab enters the house, her husband and relatives come to rescue and help her. She is the only one who is trapped by the crab. Stop, cry every day, and the land is not working. If a stranger passed by and heard her cry for help, no one would have found her even if she died.

After the crab left, she wanted to repair the house and tidy up her things, but her leg was broken by the crab. Not to mention working, even daily eating, drinking and drinking became difficult.

The sister-in-law Xiuzhen who lived next door would come to help her if she had time, but sister-in-law Xiuzhen's house is in a mess right now, and there are still a lot of things to worry about. Three meals are not bad.

If you can't work, if there are still people in the family, you can also catch crabs and let her sit in the house and grill the crab meat. When the weather is better, entrust the crab meat to someone to exchange for something to subsidize the family.

But now she is the only one in her house, lonely, as cold and empty as a snow cave, and she can't help but shed tears while sitting, how can her life be like this?At that moment, she really thought about death, and she wouldn't have to suffer this crime if she died.

It was Scarface who saved the last one. He happened to pass by that day and heard someone calling for help, so he carried the person out. In the next few days, he was busy chasing crabs and catching crabs with the villagers, and he didn't think of him saving people. After all, in addition to rescuing the police that day, he and others carried several people out of the air-raid shelter.

On the day of □□seeking death, he happened to pass by outside □□, the air-raid shelter house was not very soundproof, and he had good hearing, so he heard the sound of whimpering and crying from inside the room, and he remembered that he rescued him from inside a few days ago. A woman came out. Could it be an accident?Without thinking too much, he opened the door and went in, just in time to save the victim who was about to hang herself.

After going back and forth, the two of them became acquainted. I knew that although Scarface didn’t look young, he was actually only 26 years old this year. His original name was Zhang Minghang. He had just graduated and started working when the catastrophe happened. The scar on his face was caused by physical changes. When it hurt too much, he scratched himself. He looked fierce on his face, but he felt a little naive when getting along with him.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, Scarface has been of great help to Mrs. during the three months of the rainy season. He took over Mrs. Xiuzhen's care of Mrs., helped her clean up the house, and brought her a copy when she went out to catch crabs. The euphemistic name is that he is in charge of catching, and she is in charge of grilling the crab meat, and the things in exchange will be divided equally.

But who can't see that this is Scarface's care for her, otherwise there are so many foreigners in the group, and there are still many crabs in their hands that can't be dealt with?She also needs the help of a woman with a broken leg.

This kind of man's care and attention to women is completely different from the help and care of neighbors, relatives and friends. The heart that was already deserted slowly beat, and they didn't make it clear.

It wasn't until the end of the rainy season that Zhou Yi and the others had to go out again, and Scarface proposed marriage to the village. Everyone didn't know about it.

The first reaction of the elderly people in the village was to stop them, but they couldn't tell how to stop them. Both men and women were willing, and they were not immediate family members, so they didn't even have the qualifications to speak.

What's more, Zhou Yi and his group of outsiders have done a lot of work for the village in this rainy season, and they have worked hard without complaint. As long as people open their mouths, there is no difference. Employers are forward but not backward. Others are embarrassed to say no, they disagree.

Besides, no amount of objection could stop the parties □ their own willingness, and the tail of the ox across the river couldn't be pulled, so they could only recognize the "new son-in-law" of Lianhua Village who came to the door.

The rainy season is over, and Scarface will soon go out with Zhou Yi and the others to exchange crab meat and crab roe for things, so his wedding with Mrs. The wedding cake with sugar is considered to have gone through the process.

Zhou Yi and the others more or less knew that their brother's behavior was a bit of taking advantage of others, not very open, and the villagers must be uncomfortable. No matter how excited they were, they concealed the happy look on their faces.

It was agreed to be married, so Scarface will move to the house. However, in this year, it makes no difference whether to marry or not. Both of them have neither parents nor children. Talking about marrying is just for the villagers to listen to, anyway. From now on, the couple will live their lives behind closed doors. No one in the village can control what happens inside.

Zhou Yi surrounded him with a group of people, congratulating Scarface with water instead of wine, and some people came forward to ask Scarface how to pursue sex. There are still several women in the village who have lost their men. It's good to be the son-in-law of a dead man like Scarface, after all, they just look at their faces, but no one thinks they are worse than Scarface.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Yi chased them away, still smiling: "Keep a low profile, I warn you, don't look at your scarred face, you are so courteous in the village, now you have to be cold for a while, Let’s talk about it later if you have any ideas, it’s too ugly now and the village must be unhappy.”

Can the village get excited, especially those bachelors who have no partners now and their wives died? Qu, what's the matter, all of these dead men's wives are turning their elbows outward, why do they look down on them so much?

Especially that scarface, what did you see in him, he looks so ugly, there are such vicious men and women, you can't help but mutter in your heart, it must be that this coquettish hoof has been used for a long time, and the scarface's body is greedy Well, after all, the whole body with a scar face can also be taller.

It doesn't matter what other people think about the person involved. To be honest, she doesn't want to leave the village with Scarface at all. After all, Lin Guang, her last man, never came back. If Scarface couldn't come back, how would she live?How will the villagers think of her then? Those who talk badly will definitely call her Kefu!Besides, her family is not short of food now, so there is no need for Scarface to take this risk.
