The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

The twins almost died, and Wen Zhu knew in his heart that Lin Yang could not be blamed for what happened this time. It was an agreement between them to send the two children to the wild world, but when he saw the child lying in his arms covered in blood, he still felt depressed. I can't help but feel great fear and anger in my heart.

After the twins were in stable condition, he fought Lin Yang fiercely. Lin Yang didn't dare to fight back, and stood like a log and let the asparagus be beaten, but he couldn't help crying when he hit the asparagus. It's hard, the fear of losing two children has made him tremble uncontrollably until now.

Lin Yang hugged the asparagus bamboo and said nothing, his feet are still soft now, this is the first time he feels powerless when something happens, and this time it was caused by his arrogance.

There are only 8 formation stones left in his hand, which is only enough to replace the magic circle of two trees. Although the largest cactus has been picked, Lin Yang decided not to remove the magic circle and continue to raise it with the magic circle. He used another cactus with fruit for all the formation stones. Cactus fruit is a life-saving medicine, so it must be prepared.

Most of the vegetables grown in the Great Wilderness before have grown, because they are not carefully cared for and are a bit malnourished, but they are already edible. Lin Yang picked a handful of green vegetables, a few green peppers, and not many beans, and now there are only a few. The tomatoes were still blue and unripe, but Lin Yang also pulled a few and put them in the basket.

He didn't pick too much. The compartments in the air-raid shelter are so small that they can't hide anything at all. The room is dark and invisible, but as long as someone comes to their house, they will smell the fresh smell of these vegetables. At that time, they will not be able to tell clearly with their mouths all over their bodies. .

Apart from the cactus and green vegetables, he came to the Great Wilderness this time mainly for the water from Shuangma Lake. His family stopped using the water from Dalian Lake a long time ago. The water from Dalian Lake is usually used for cleaning things. The water used for eating and bathing is from Shuangma Lake, but also because of this, every time I fetch water, I sneak up after everyone in the air-raid shelter has fallen asleep in the middle of the night.

These days, Lin Yang feels that he has undergone some subtle changes. I don’t know if it’s because he has walked too much at night. He always feels that he has night vision ability. The night is as dark as thick ink. Everything can be seen clearly.

As for Wen Zhu, there was also a special change. He said before that he could sense the changes in the Feng Shui array, but later things became more and more chaotic and the two of them forgot about it.

But Wen Zhu discovered not long ago that he can now trigger the talisman array that Lin Yang has drawn. Although he can't learn to draw, he has no problem triggering it independently. This ability seems useless, but it is equivalent to Lin Yang. With a pair of eyes and hands, Wenzhu can also help him go out to find sensitive formation stones, especially when Lin Yang is not there when fetching water in Dalian Lake, Wenzhu can find for him.

Before going out, they set a time limit with those who stayed in the village. Within ten days, they would return to Lianhua Village regardless of whether they had harvested or not. If no one returned within ten days, then those who stayed Those who are in the village must be mentally prepared, and there is no need to talk about what kind of psychological preparation.

Considering that they may have to bring a lot of things, they plan to drive out. There are almost no cars in the village that can be driven, but they can make up one or two cars by saving up. no problem.

But soon everyone gave up on this idea. The road out of the village was too bad. Large and small stones rolled down the mountain, and it was difficult for people to walk, let alone drive.

In the end, they decided to pull the trolley, and put the food and luggage they brought with them on the trolley. When the sun was high, people could still cover it with black cloth and hide under the trolley.

On the way out, if someone is accidentally injured, you can also use the cart to pull people. When you encounter a place that the car cannot pass, the cart is not heavy, and a group of people can take turns to carry the cart.

Lin Yang's strength is strong enough. In fact, he can drive a tricycle there, but his strength should not be wasted, and it is completely unnecessary. However, compared to other people pulling a cart together, Lin Yang got one himself.

When Lin Yang went out, Wenzhu must stay to take care of the twins. Although he already knew that the twins could not enter the wild world, but if it was possible, wouldn't he and Wenzhu go out together?

But he can't even think about the idea of ​​sending the child to the wild world now.

Changliu Town is about 32 kilometers away from Lianhua Village. The mountain road is winding. It takes about 40 minutes to drive fast, and more than an hour to pursue stability. But if you just walk, no one can calculate how long it will take , especially now that there are no roads outside at all, the time spent on the road going back and forth must be very troublesome. Everyone knows it, but there is no way to do it.

However, they would go to Changliu Town through Pingshan Village, and Dawan Village could also be reached by a long detour. As long as they reached these two villages, if there were still people in the village, they could ask them for news or exchange food with them.If there is no one in the village, they can also settle in it. If they find enough supplies in the village, they don't even need to cross the mountains to go to Changliu Town.

On the day of departure, the village chief deliberately chose a good day in the almanac to go out. Early in the morning, they pulled the cart and walked out of the air-raid shelter in silence. This was the first time that the people of Lianhua Village walked out of the abandoned factory.

After more than two consecutive months of high temperature, Lianhua Village has been scorched yellow, but it was not until they left Lianhua Village that they understood what a Jedi is.

Outside of Lianhua Village, apart from the continuous high heat from the sun above their heads, all they saw was a dead silence. The cracks on the ground due to the drought were criss-crossed, and the ground was baked into a red copper color by the sun. Walking on it, you can hear The shoes are scorched and make a sizzling sound

Fortunately, they were reminded by Wang Qianming's group before they came out. Everyone prepared enough wooden soles and tied the wooden soles under the soles. Although walking is inconvenient and affects speed, it can insulate the high temperature of the ground to a certain extent. .

The road is difficult to walk, the shoes on the feet are inconvenient, and the sun above the head almost tortures them to death for a group of people who have been hiding in the air-raid shelter for a long time.

The most desperate thing is that their activities in Lianhua Village are from 4:8 am to 5:9 am and from 7:06 pm to 30:7 pm. They thought it was the same outside, but after they came out, they discovered that the temperature outside was at least as cold as in the village. It was more than ten degrees higher. After 8:[-] or [-]:[-] in the morning, they couldn't bear the temperature outside, and they had to wait until after [-] or [-] o'clock in the afternoon before they dared to walk in the sun with full body protection.

On the first day outside the Lianhua Village, 18 of the 8 people who went out had heatstroke and 5 were sunburned.

How the hell do we have to go? When we were resting at night, the atmosphere was very gloomy. The sunburned and heatstroked people had already taken medicine, and their condition was much better, but this was the first day, and how far they were from the village Ah, have you walked 5 miles today?Despair weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

The camp was in a state of desperation, and Lin Yang had no doubt that at least half of the 18 people in the camp wanted to go back, but he didn't want to give up now.

It will take at least ten years for the two children to survive the space shuttle, but even after ten years, only one of the two children will be able to pass through, and it is even more impossible for him and Wenzhu to leave one of the children behind. Live better, this trip will come out sooner or later.

Now the mosquitoes in the village are becoming more and more perverted and more poisonous. Their family, not only their family, but the whole Lianhua Village urgently needs quicklime and saltpeter to survive better and longer.

Lin Chen, who was most eager to go out of the village to find medicine, also suffered from heat stroke today, and in the end it was Lin Yang who carried the wooden cart on his back and walked to the place where he is now.

The same goes for a few people in the village. Before they reached the planned place in the morning, the temperature rose rapidly. A dozen or so people were dizzy from the sun, so they could only hide under the shadow raised by Lin Yang Staggering to the destination, that's it, there are three left behind.

Because those three were one step behind, their backs were peeled off. Lin Yang had no choice but to go back and carry them back one by one.

In the morning, because we had just left the village, we had to walk for a while. In the afternoon, because of the sunburn in the morning, a group of people walked more slowly. Fortunately, the temperature dropped in the afternoon. Although it was a little slower, we still reached the cave where we stayed in the dark.

Others who have neither sunburn nor heat stroke are also exhausted. They can’t drink a few sips of the specially cooked porridge, but they have to force themselves to drink it. They know very well that as long as they want to live, You can't help but eat.

The water brought out from the village is not much, and everyone has a limited amount. They even prepared to find no water outside, but this preparation was shattered on the first day. Is this because there is no water? They don't even have water or air.

The sky was cloudless during the day, and they had no doubt that even if there were clouds, they would be wiped out by the scorching sun before they gathered.

It is impossible to walk during the day. Chen Jianmin suggested: "Let's go at night. Although it is dark at night, it is much more comfortable to light a torch than to travel during the day."

The others have no objection, and there is no other way but this, but this is also within their expectations, so before going out, in addition to food and water, the homemade fire brought them a lot.

There is also gasoline and diesel. If you are strong enough, you can bring some. If you run out of torches on the road, you can DIY on the spot. Otherwise, if you meet someone on the road, you might be able to exchange this thing with someone.

Walking at night is much more comfortable than during the day. Of course, bumps and bumps are inevitable, but a fall is better than getting sunburned on the road, so they walked faster than expected for two days in a row.

The sky is dry and things are dry, beware of fire candles!No one needs to be reminded of this, the mountain people are very clear about it, and they are very cautious when driving with torches at night.

But the weather is still too hot. There used to be mountains everywhere in their area, and the mountains were covered with grass and trees. Although all the grass and trees are dead now, they are good dry firewood. A little spark can set the whole mountain on fire. stand up.

The top of the mountain was burnt black. At first, they thought that these were traces left by the last thunderstorm, but after seeing several mountain fires, they realized what it was.

The ground was scorched red by the sun, and the temperature could rise to the point of ignition at any time. Even if there was no wind, the land was too dry, and the vigorous fire immediately spread to several connected hills. The fire became more and more intense, and even the air was The distorted crimson color, Lin Yang remembers an adjective that is "water and sky are one color", but now the raging fire in front of him should be "fire and sky one color", half of the sky is burning red, like purgatory.

This kind of mountain fire is impossible to run away. They can feel the scorching heat across several hills. Before they get close, they are already suffocated.

After escaping a few wildfires, everyone sighed. Fortunately, the old village chief chose a good departure date. If he came out a few days earlier, the hills on the side of the road had not been burned. It can't fly even if it grows wings.

Imagining this scene, everyone shuddered, and then thinking of the tits that were surrounded by wildfires and could not fly out. In the high temperature of more than 40 degrees, a dozen men just got goosebumps.

Because they were afraid of being surrounded by wildfires that would start at any time, they saw that there were still many dead trees and grass, and they all detoured. Otherwise, they would first clear a firebreak, and then set fire to all the trees in the distance. .

However, this method is to kill one thousand enemies and self-damage eight hundred. The ground temperature is already high, and setting fire to the mountain is like roasting yourself. After doing such a stupid thing once, most of them died of heatstroke. If you dare to do this, you are really playing with fire, you can burn yourself to death if you are not careful.

To bypass the mountain fire, the original road could not be followed. A group of people carried the scooter and walked a section of the mountain road. They found a flat place and stopped to eat something to replenish salt water. They rested for a while before going on.

The temperature at night is actually more than 40 degrees. They had to pay attention to their feet when they were traveling in the heat and darkness. After walking in such an environment for a few days, everyone was exhausted. After making porridge like the first night when they left the village, they never did I did it, I was exhausted from the journey, and no one wanted to bother, but everyone brought home-made dry food.

Dry food is fried rice flour, mixed with flour and some salt, fermented and dry baked to make pancakes the size of a palm. This thing is not afraid of spoilage, and the high temperature of [-] degrees Celsius can be stored for ten days and a half months without any problems.

However, this food is convenient, but it is also really not delicious. Not to mention the test of the teeth, it is also very easy to choke people. One bite can beat the chest for a long time. If there is no one nearby to deliver water in time, you may be choked to death.

In fact, you can add pickles in it for a better taste, and you can add shredded pork if the conditions are good, but if you put these things, the storage time will be greatly shortened, so most of the people who carry in their hands are the most primitive ones without adding anything. Plant dry food.

But going out, the conditions are the same, anyway, they still have water on their bodies, and there are companions around them. Even though there were many conflicts in the village before, after getting along these few days, they can drink water from the same jar calmly. , Eating a piece of dry food.

Brothers Lin Liang and Lin Quan followed out this time as usual. Lin Yang heard them muttering that they would not have come out if they had known, and they didn't know what they were planning, but young people don't have a family to encumber them, so they can leave if they want , Just do whatever you want, as for whether you will regret it, you have to do it.

They mainly travel at night, but the temperature is too high during the day, and they can't sleep even if they want to sleep, so they have to set aside half of the time to rest at night.

After a brief rest, they continued to walk towards Changliu Town with their luggage.

Walking in the high temperature is really tiring. In order to reduce this kind of distress, everyone knows to drink water when talking, but there are still some people who keep picking topics. Among them, Lin Qun is often the one who is responsible for the conversation. In the past, Lin Chen could still talk to He sang along, but since the disappearance of his uncle and aunt, Lin Chen has become more and more silent. He is similar to Lin Yang along the way, and hardly speaks proactively when no one asks.

The two brothers Lin Qun, Lin Liang and Lin Quan who can be talked about most in the team now, these three bachelors have chatted a lot since they were ridiculed by the village that even widows looked down on them. , they exist like brothers, chattering and chattering all the way.

They got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and walked. At 7 o'clock in the morning, they stopped at the foot of a cliff, and they came here today. If they go further, they don't know if they can encounter a place that is as good as a cliff to avoid the sun. , everyone took off all the things on the body, it is impossible to take a bath, and no one should dislike anyone, the whole person collapsed on the ground after the sunlight blocked the entrance of the cave, so f*cking tired.

They have been walking for so long, and they haven't encountered anything outside, so there is no need to arrange for people to guard or anything, and there is no need to keep watch in broad daylight. If they can really meet people, let alone people, they can do it if it is a living thing. Jump up excitedly.

Lin Yang is not very tired, this little physical exertion is nothing to him, the frequency of his heartbeat has not even increased, but in order to prevent other people from seeing that his heartbeat frequency is wrong, he deliberately found a place far away from him when he was sleeping and resting. where they are a little bit.

The normal heartbeat of an adult is about 25 to 30 times per minute, but Lin Yang has calculated that his current heartbeat is about [-] to [-] times per minute. He does not understand what this frequency means, but it is obvious that his physical fitness is better. alright.

Before he came out, he was lying on the same bed with Wenzhu at night, and Wenzhu would wake up several times because he couldn't hear his heartbeat.

When grandpa passed away, his body did not have these obvious changes, and I don’t know if this is unique to him or whether it is the same for everyone in the family who can travel through the two worlds.

Thinking of home, asparagus bamboo, and the twins, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yang's face, and he didn't know how they were doing now.

Wenzhu is also thinking about him. After Lin Yang left, his life has not changed significantly, but there is one less person around him, and he is empty from body to heart. He regrets that Lin Yang had to follow him before going out. There was a fight.

But the anxiety in his heart was not shown in front of others. He still followed the rhythm of life in the air-raid shelter every day, getting up at 03:30 in the morning. The twins are usually still sound asleep at this time. They don’t wake up until 8 o’clock. He can sleep at this time Duan do something else.

However, he and Lin Yang used to be worried that the twins would be alone at home and would always leave someone to accompany them, but now that Lin Yang has gone out, Wenzhu can only lock the two children in the house, but locking does not make him feel at ease , Later he agreed with Xiao Yuer's mother that the two families would take turns to look after the child.

But now Xiaoyu'er's mother's thoughts are all on Xiaoyu'er, and she basically doesn't care about the outside things, so in most cases, Wen Zhu takes the twins to Lin Chen's house and let Xiaoyu'er's mother take care of them. The twins were brought back from their home.

After sending the twins to Xiao Yuer's house, Wenzhu hurriedly swallowed a dry food pancake and started today's work. He needed to move out the baskets of sweet potatoes grown in the air-raid shelter by their family to bask in the sun. It was so strong in the afternoon, they usually moved out the sweet potato box in the morning, and moved the box back after the sun was bright.

In the afternoon, usually no one moves, one is because it is too hot, and the other is because it is too tired.

Lin Yang usually does this, and Lin Yang is very strong, so even though their family has planted 50 baskets of sweet potatoes, it only takes more than an hour to move them all out. These are baskets and plastic baskets used to pick fruit at home. A basket filled with mud costs about one hundred and fifty-six.

The strength of asparagus bamboo may be stronger than that of ordinary men, but they can only carry out one basket at a time, and occasionally they can pick up two baskets, but in such hot weather, one round of going back and forth can make people tired.

And because their family moved into the air-raid shelter relatively late, the place where the sweet potatoes were allotted was far away from the entrance of the cave, and moving the sweet potato baskets almost killed him. Originally, he planned to move his own sweet potato baskets for Lin Chen’s family as well. Go out to bask in the sun, but now, hehe, he can't even move his own home every day, and can only rotate 50 baskets of sweet potatoes every two or three days.

Also because of this "heavy" work, the time for their family to go to Dalian Lake to fetch water was moved from morning to afternoon. People in the air-raid shelter usually fetch water in the morning, and the water temperature in the morning is low, so they can plant it when they come back The sweet potatoes are watered, and the water in the afternoon has to be cooled because it has been in the sun for a day, otherwise the sweet potatoes will be scalded to death when poured into the ground.

Like asparagus bamboo, there are many people who move sweet potatoes out to dry in the morning, but other people's homes are not as difficult as him. Their baskets are smaller than that of asparagus bamboo, and they don't hold as much soil as theirs. The speed of transporting out is faster than that of asparagus bamboo. too much.

Chen Jianmin's wife has already moved out all the sweet potatoes in her house, and now she is preparing to fetch water. When she saw the asparagus bamboo sweating like rain, she stopped and said: "Your family's basket is really the only one in the whole village. Except for Lin Yang, no one else can move it." It's not that they can't move it, but who can bear to move 50 boxes in a row.

She said loudly: "Asparagus, I didn't realize that you are quite powerful, you are worthy of being a couple, hahaha!" The hearty laughter made everyone around look at them, but seeing Wenzhu blushed They all knew how to move the bamboo baskets, tsk tsk, it turned out that they were envious of Lin Yang's sweet potatoes filled with more mud, because the more mud the baskets contained, the more space the sweet potatoes in the box had to grow, and they would grow better.Therefore, although Lin Yang's planting is relatively late, the growth of sweet potatoes has always been the best in the village, but now, they look at the thin arms and legs of asparagus, it is difficult, the basket is too heavy, can you Moving out to bask in the sun and watering have become problems.

Asparagus was looked down upon by the surrounding eyes, and he wished to beat Lin Yang again, Ma De, what are you doing with so much mud, you can't waste your strength like this, did he forget that he used a lot of strength, and the food Also more?

He's not talking nonsense, the less food Lin Yang has in his family now, the more he can eat, purring, like a pig, palm-sized dry food pancakes, one can be enough for others to eat, he opened it up and ate 20 of them Can't help it, he cooks for him every day at home. Originally, it was said that he could eat food for three to five years, but now it's hard to say whether he can survive for two years.

For his growing food intake, even the dry food he goes out with is special, it is also the size of a palm, other people's food is half a catty, but theirs is at least a catty and a half, the pressed porcelain is solid, except for Lin Yang No one can bite the iron teeth and copper teeth.

It's all right now, when Lin Yang goes out, he doesn't have to cook for him anymore, but carrying sweet potato baskets at home almost exhausted him.

Asparagus was scolding him, Lin Yang also thought that the food cooked by Asparagus was too much to go out, and the dry food he brought out might not be enough, so he had to save some food.
