The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

More people disagree with his words: "You don't need to work hard? You don't need to eat if you work hard? Where does the food come from? Give it to me!"

"It's meaningless to say that. You don't want to go out in order to save that ration. Could it be that you have been trapped in the mountains all your life, can't you just think about digging out and finding more food and more things?"

"Hmph, what if we go out and lure people into the village? We can beat the bad guys out, but what about those who can't survive and kneel down to beg you? Can you be ruthless?"

"This won't work, that won't work, just wait for death."

"It was just discussing the matter as it stands. It's because you think the problem is too simple."

"Then you make the problem complicated, can you solve it?"

“我是不能解决，但不代表这些问题不存在吧。”

There was a lot of noise in the air-raid shelter, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, the village chief slapped the table: "Stop arguing, everyone agrees on leaving the village, the key is how to get out, and now vote by raising your hands.

One, go to Qilinao, but you have to wait for the weather to stop before going out;

二，挖通隧道，以后不管什么时候都能出去，想出去就出去，但这个是长期任务。

Vote now, both men and women count, and those over the age of 16 are counted as adults, agree with the first raise your hand. "

"Village chief, isn't that right? Regardless of which one, you have to tell the families living in the village that they are also from our Lianhua Village."

The person who said this did not want to protect the interests of those living in the village, but no matter which one was proposed above, if only those who abandoned the factory expressed their opinion, and those behind them came to take advantage of it, then who would be willing!

It would be generous enough for them not to hold those people accountable for sharing food privately. If they voted for the second option, then those people would be able to enjoy their fruits without any effort, and they would really vomit to death.

"Don't worry about those people." The village chief's tone was very strict: "It doesn't matter which one we choose, if they want to take advantage of it, they must contribute their efforts."

换句话说，他们那些人都是无效票，只有跟屁股后面的份儿，他们的意见可以不用参考。

If other people in the village said this, others would not believe it, but it was the village chief who said it. Everyone believed it and felt a little refreshed. That's it, let those people be selfish, and now they have no right to speak Bar.

As for whether those people will listen, so what if they don’t listen, the reason is on their side, if they don’t listen, they will crowd out them, don’t fetch them water, don’t let them farm land in the abandoned factory, don’t let them live in air-raid shelters, If there are three of them, they will be able to strangle their veins.

After two rounds of voting, most people supported the first one. The village chief was very disappointed, so he proposed the third one: "We will go to Qilinao when the weather clears up, but we can also dig tunnels in between. No conflict, what do you think?"

Not so good, the people who were seen by the village chief avoided their eyes one after another, complaining about their difficulties in a low voice:

"Village chief, my lumbar muscles are strained, and I am exhausted from doing some daily work. I can't dig a tunnel, no."

"My leg was hurt when there was thunder last time, and it's still not healed, so I can't do heavy work."

"I'm the only strong laborer in our family. If I go to dig a tunnel, what will happen to my sweet potatoes? Who will help me carry water to irrigate the field? If no one helps, I will drink northwest wind next year? I can't go."

The village chief's expression became more and more ugly, and someone suggested to him: "Village chief, let's wait until the weather clears before going out. Everyone is not free now."

A small meeting broke up unhappily. The opinion of the village chief was refuted by most people, and some people complained about the village chief behind his back, why he always wanted to run outside because of his old arms and legs.

Asparagus was also very curious, and discussed this issue with Lin Yang in bed at night.

Lin Yang moved to Wenzhu's side. The weather was hot, and Lin Yang's body was even hotter, so Wenzhu didn't let him get too close to him. If Lin Yang didn't roll around and disagreed, Wenzhu would have wanted to lay the floor alone on the ground .

Lin Yang moved his lips to Wenzhu's ear as if he was afraid that Wenzhu would not be able to hear him: "The village chief must want to go out to find his cousin, maybe he is the one who went out to look for him, but he just hopes that his cousin and the others can return to the gate of the village one day. Come in." But the hope was really slim.

Although Wenzhu's ears are not as sensitive as Chengzi's, Chengzi's ears are inherited from him to a certain extent. Lin Yang's breath blowing gently on his ears, it was crispy and itchy, half of his body was numb, and he almost didn't hear it. Knowing what Lin Yang was talking about, plus Lin Yang's hands were not honest, Wenzhu was in a trance, it took him a long time to settle down, and poked him with a fan: "Do you think there are still people alive outside?"

"There must be." Lin Yang took the opportunity to hug Wenzhu's waist again, unlike himself, Wenzhu's body is cold, but his body is always warm and cool, like a piece of jade, it is comfortable to hold in summer.

"You can see that we have power outages, water outages, and lightning strikes here, but those well-equipped institutions must be better than ours. Our village has air-raid shelters. Don't big cities have them? The city still has solar power generation. Sun, the electricity generated may be able to supply the entire city. When there is electricity, it means that there is energy. Well, it is also possible that the order of the city has been restored, but it is not yet in our small place. Wait, don't worry. "

"You don't agree to dig a tunnel out, what do you mean?" Wen Zhu pulled Lin Yang's hands that kept making trouble on him: "You don't want to go out and have a look?"

林扬：“出不出去都对我们家影响不大，我干嘛费事巴拉的花时间挖隧道。”

With that kind of effort, wouldn't it be nice to stay with your wife and children at home, or you can go to another world and plant trees!

It is fine to say that he is selfish and indifferent, or that he is inhumane, but if he supports tunnel digging, no one in the village will speak well of him, and maybe some people will ask him to work more on the excuse of his strength.

Of course he won't agree, but if he refuses directly, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the villagers, so it's better to keep it as it is, and everyone should do whatever they want.

Anyway, no one in the village was in a hurry to get out, and everyone got out as soon as they could, with an attitude of not being dragged down.

All in all, there are still not enough interests to motivate everyone.

Those who lived in the village soon knew that the abandoned factory had held a meeting, and they also announced that they did not need their opinions. They were all very annoyed, but so what, as the water from the wells in the village became more and more At least, they also had to bow their heads to the people in the abandoned factory.

It is now mid-August, and according to the length of summer in Quang Nam in the past, they still have at least two to three months to get through the hot summer, but now every day is hotter than the previous day.

It was already bright at 5 o'clock in the morning, and the sun didn't set until 9 o'clock in the evening. The land was dead silent, and the days were long, and the length and monotony made people despair.

After 8 o'clock in the morning, people can no longer stay outdoors. No matter how tightly they wrap their bodies, they will get sunburned. The living people feel that what the sun shines now is not sunlight, but some kind of laser rays, which can penetrate all kinds of wounds on the human body. Protection, burn people to death.

Due to the long-term high temperature and drought, the mountain tops in the village were still half yellow, but now there is basically no greenery in the past, and it is a dull, burnt yellow.

People in the village have very little time to work every day, that is, the few hours before the sun rises in the morning, and the rest of the time is either too hot in the sun or too dark at night.

Originally they thought that the sun was so big during the day, so the moon would be very bright at night. They couldn't get the sun, so couldn't they get the moonlight?

But what is desperate is that after the sun goes down, the sky is like an electric light that has been turned on. The night is dark and oppressive, like a curtain of death. The night is already scary, and no one dares to go out on such a weird night.

There are also those who are not afraid of the dark, but they have to use a flashlight or light candles when they go out at night, but these two things are definitely scarce resources now, and farming is a long-term job, and everyone can't afford it.

The sweet potato seeds that were planted half a month ago lay half dead on the ridge. The villagers were afraid that they would be sunburned to death, so they used some branches and straw to cover the crops in the field, but even this could not save their rapid vitality. Dissipate, often the speed of replanting cannot keep up with the speed of their being sunburned.

So the people who lived in the abandoned factory moved the crops into the air-raid shelter. Bamboo baskets, baskets, and wooden barrels, which can hold things, were planted with sweet potato vines, and they watered them carefully every day. Go out to bask in the sun, and when the sun rises, you will take the trouble to move them back.

No one complains about the time-consuming and labor-intensive work, because if they don’t find something to do, they will go crazy sooner or later trapped in the air-raid shelter, and these green plants that represent life and harvest can greatly relieve everyone’s anxiety.

八月末，小莲池的水已经干涸了，只剩湖底浅浅的一层，村里的几口深水井也不再出水，就连井底的泥浆都已经板结。

The thirty or so people who moved back to the village still moved back to the abandoned factory in desperation, but they still insisted on not handing over the extinct grains that were privately distributed, and because of this, they suffered countless eyes and runs from the abandoned factory people.

Especially now that they have to grow sweet potatoes in the air-raid shelter, they must occupy part of the space when they move in, so the people in the abandoned factory don't like them even more, and they insist on living in the air-raid shelter. The people in the original abandoned factory only allow them to live next to the toilet.

It’s the 21st century. Whether it’s the elderly or children, everyone pays great attention to privacy and hygiene. Although most people live in the air-raid shelter, it’s convenient to go outside, but people have three urgencies, so two separate toilets for men and women are designated. Households take turns cleaning.

However, if you clean it every day, it will inevitably leave a smell, not to mention that the weather is so hot now, so people who used to live in the air-raid shelter deliberately avoid this place in their daily activities, and of course it is even less likely that they will actively ask to live near this place.

The few households in the village who were given food were sent here. They wanted to make trouble, but the people who abandoned the factory were not vegetarians, and the rest of the place had grown food. This is the only place left in the air-raid shelter. You can't live here.
