Survive through the ancient apocalypse

People are fundamental, even if they are servants, they cannot be squeezed by mission.Only with sincerity and sincerity can interest groups become stronger.In this world, it is basically difficult to survive by sweeping the snow in front of the door like in the previous life. The village is already the smallest unit of action.To be honest, the village is too small after all, and it will be annexed or cooperate with each other in the future. Only when several villages gather together can they have the power to fight against external forces.

The awning blocks the crops, not only blocking the sun, but also relieving the drought to a certain extent.The temperature in the shed was not as high as expected, on the contrary, it was lower than when exposed to the hot sun.The sheds in Yejia Village are ventilated all around, and you can still feel a little bit of hot wind blowing by when you stand on the side.Walls were built around the Ye family's fields, which not only blocked the wind, but also blocked the scorching sun.

There are also sunshades for crops, but there are no flowers and trees in the forest.Some of the flowers and plants have died due to lack of water, and now even the remaining plants are in danger.The first to start to die is the zero-level trees and zero-level flowers and plants, followed by the first-level trees and first-level flowers and plants also showing signs of sunburn.

With the massive death of zero-level vegetation, zero-level herbivores that eat zero-level weeds and zero-level tree branches and leaves also died of starvation one after another.Zero-level beasts accounted for as much as half of the same race, and a large number of them died, and the carnivores that ate them were naturally not spared.After such a chain reaction, the mountains and forests were instantly emptied.

Ye Mingze stood on the northernmost fence, and as far as he could see, the mountains and forests were in decline, and the withered and yellow color accounted for more than half of the mountains and forests.Ye Mingze was worried that the large number of animals dying would bring plague, so he had to spare his staff to clean up the dead animals in the forest near Yejia Village every day.Everyone put on masks and gloves, and dug nearby pits to burn and bury the dead beasts.

If they encounter ferocious beasts on the way, they will deal with them smoothly.The wild beasts that are still alive are more ferocious than before, and they dare not enter the forest with fewer people.Every time they enter the mountain, dozens or even hundreds of people from Yejia Village gather together, and when they look around, there is a large area of ​​darkness.

Although the crops are exposed to light twice a day, the light intensity is insufficient after all, and the crops are somewhat malnourished.Ye Mingze couldn't help but rejoice when he saw it. It's good that it can still grow. It doesn't matter if you charge less, but I'm afraid there will be no harvest.He doesn't want to eat fish every day.

In addition to sweeping the mountains and forests every day, Yejiacun began to build walls again.Ye Mingze's house built a fence, and the fields of other families are in the wild.There is no wall around it, and from time to time wild beasts will come down the mountain to attack the villagers, and everyone working in the fields is in fear.Even if there are people patrolling, there are times when a place as big as a field can't be taken care of.Stone walls became the only viable option.

After the people of Yejia Village finished their farm work every day, they spent the rest of their time building walls around the fields.Starting from the southernmost part of the west of the village, building a circle along the surrounding mountains is a huge project, but it has to be done.No one is lazy, time is life at this time.A while ago, some villagers were seriously injured by wild beasts, and they managed to get their lives back from Lord Yan. How dare others make fun of their lives.

In the past, many people had a lot of opinions on building the wall from the southernmost part of the village, and they pushed back and forth in the work. Now seeing the ready-made examples, they immediately threw themselves into the wall-building army without saying a word.No food, just eating vegetables, no one can bear it, right?

Since the awning came into effect, the Ye family had a surplus of labor.The other villagers were busy building the fence, and the Ye family also sent some people on shifts to help, rest for half a day, and build the wall for the rest of the day.

In the busy work, the first batch of crops finally matured.The temperature is high this year, and the crops are ripening earlier than usual.Due to the lack of sunlight on the crops, resulting in malnutrition, the yield per mu of crops harvested by the Ye family was even less than last year, less than two hundred catties.Logically speaking, this year is the second year of land reclamation, and the grain yield per mu will be much higher than that of the first year, but it is not as good as last year.

Those families in Yejia Village who replenished the rice seedlings will have an yield of two hundred catties per mu, which is at least [-]% less than the normal year.As for the people who did not replenish the seedlings and then temporarily built awnings, the harvest is indescribably dismal, and those with a yield of [-] to [-] catties per mu have to burn incense and worship Buddha.

These harvests are calculated according to the current harvested quantity, which may not be so much in reality.Now each mu of field is divided into two crops, one crop can be harvested now, and the remaining half is still too early to mature, and it is still unknown whether it will mature before the frost.Ye Mingze looked up and saw the awning, the corner of his mouth curled up, maybe it could help.The sunshade can be used as a pergola in summer, and it should be used as a warm shed in disguise in late autumn.

On average, each person in the Ye family consumes at least two catties of grain and more than one catty of vegetables and fish every day.Calculated in this way, the more than 500 people in the Ye family will consume nearly 40 catties of grain and nearly 20 catties of vegetables a year.I really don't know, I was shocked.

After the sentinel guide awakened, no one was willing to rent the three-bedroom, four-bedroom, five-bedroom Ye family and the 72 mu of land left by Mr. Ye, half of which was given to Ye Mingze's family and the other half to his uncle's family.They bought the land of the three uncles with a little money.Mr. Ye's [-] mu of land was divided in half between the uncle and Ye Mingze's family, and each family handed in [-] catties of grain every year.Together with Jiang Jingzhi's dowry field, Ye's father's [-]-mu field and Ye's family's backyard's [-]-mu vegetable field, these fields add up to [-] mu of land, and a total of about [-] jin of vegetables can be harvested.

The amount of these vegetables plus fish is not enough.Ye Mingze had to set aside nearly a hundred acres of newly reclaimed wasteland for growing vegetables.Calculated in this way, even if the Ye family opened up to eat, there should still be some leftovers.

This year's grain harvest, at best, is only enough for the Ye family to have a little surplus for one year's rations.If the sun is stronger next year than this year, and sunshades need to be erected earlier, the crops will definitely not have enough light, and the grain harvest will only be less.Without a shed, the harvest is even less pitiful.This is simply forcing human beings to a dead end.

Ye Mingze is not a professional seed researcher, he can't produce crops that are both high-yield and don't require much light.Facing the current situation, he is determined but powerless.

Food can be harvested in three to five months, and the energy contained in crops of the same level and weight is obviously less than that of wild animals and plants.The amount of energy contained is directly linked to their level and survival time.The higher the level, the longer it grows, and the more energy it contains.

When a large number of forest plants died, the villagers were busy with their fields and had no time to harvest autumn.Now, one more task is to sweep the forest every day, and that is to pick ripe mountain products by the way.

It's not halfway through August, and the first-class trees and first-class flowers and plants are still standing tenaciously.According to this momentum, it will be a matter of time before they step into death.While they are still alive, harvest all the fruits that can be harvested, so as to enrich the villagers' granary.

Ye Mingze looked at the fruits in the forest, and felt a pity that he couldn't do the candied fruit shop business this year.In July, only wild fruits near the back mountain were picked. There was a lot of work in the field, and there was no manpower to go to other places to buy fresh fruits.In fact, even if people are sent to buy, they will not get much. Farmers are busy with their own fields, so there is no time to pick fruits.In August, half of the fruit trees were sun-dried, and [-]% of the remaining fruit trees were half-dead. Everyone could harvest as much as they could.

The sea water is transparent, under the scorching sun during the day, within a few meters of the sea surface, it is really crystal clear, and the fish, shrimp and crabs run without a trace.On the bottom of the sea near the beach, scallops and the like are buried in the sand during the day and only come out at night.Except for those with hiding places, fish, shrimp and crabs all move to places where they will not be sunburned.All of a sudden, the noise around the beach is no longer as it used to be, and the creatures are much less.

The ocean is blessed with little damage.Only a part of the algae growing near the sea surface died, and everything else that was active could escape the sun.

Yejia Village is a fishing village, and the income from fishing has always been stable.This can be regarded as giving everyone a reassurance that there will be no shortage of fish to eat.

It has long been understood that creatures with lower levels are more likely to be sunburned.All families try to eat high-grade food as much as possible if they have the conditions, and they don't forget to exercise their abilities in their daily work.

Ordinary people cannot become sentinel guides, but eating high-quality food can improve their physical fitness, which in turn increases their resistance to disease and weather.As long as there is a bit of humanity, they will not abandon the ordinary people in their own family.Yejiacun is far from being unable to survive. This kind of abandonment of family members has not happened, nor will it be allowed to happen.

Once someone starts this way, it will be difficult to stop.Who will take care of those abandoned in the future, and watch them slowly die?You can abandon your family today, but can you abandon Ye Family Village tomorrow?Such people are too chilling, once discovered, Ye Family Village will expel them from the village.This is a check on the surface, and no one knows what people think in the dark.As long as there are no mistakes in matters of right and wrong, everything else is the private affairs of each family, and no one has the leisure to take care of it.

Although sentries have strong five senses, they can see and hear far away, but it is very difficult to snoop without being noticed by the other party.The village is densely populated, and it is difficult for sentries to make a difference.Therefore, except for extremely urgent conversations that cannot take a little risk, which will make the guide set up a barrier, you don't need to pay special attention to gossip at other times.There is no sentinel who has nothing to do, just listen to other people's gossip.

Naturally, the food and food of the Ye family is better than that of the servants, but they are not as strict as the big family.The greater the contribution to the Ye family, the better the treatment they will enjoy.Ye Mingze insisted on those who steal and play tricks, the less they do, the less they will get.If you don't work hard, the Ye family will not support idlers.As for their families willing to support them, the stewards of each yard are not decorations.If you don't give much, but you can still look good, you can directly pull people out and assign them to other courtyards. If you can't get enough to eat, people will naturally be honest.

After so many times, no one dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers.All kinds of work are contracted by the team. If someone in the team does less work, the other team members will object without the owner saying.No one wants to work too much to raise a lazy person, right?

As the sun radiation becomes stronger and the drought lasts longer, the spending power of local people in Yangshan County gradually decreases, the number of foreign caravans decreases, and the interval between trips is also lengthened.All of these are indicative of the difficulties of today's world.

The sales of seafood are decreasing day by day, Yejia Village simply does not waste daily manpower, and only catches the big market in Yangshan County every ten days.Since the destructive power of the sun has greatly increased, dried sea fish cannot be exposed to the sun, and they are all directly air-dried in a cool and backlit place.

Seeing the accumulation of various dried sea fish, Ye Mingze was a little worried.It’s not good to have less, and it’s not good to have too much!It is dried fish over and over again, but the degree of saltiness is different.Can I get something fresh?

On days without storms, the two fishing boats go out to sea every day.Each fishing boat is equipped with one or two spiritual bodies as sentinels of birds, and the rest are sentinels of spiritual bodies as marine creatures.With the help of marine life spirits, their fishing efficiency has been greatly improved.Every time two boats go out to sea to catch a thousand catties, that is the minimum harvest, and many times they can catch several thousand catties.Now that the sun is scorching, it is difficult to meet a day when you can't go to sea.The harvest is large, and the shipment is small. After a long time, the dried fish is piled up in the warehouse.

After the dried fish was piled up, the Ye family served a sea fish for every meal, steamed and fried, in any way.If you are tired of eating fresh fish, just steam a plate of dried fish for a change.No matter how delicious things are, they can't stand eating, and there is no place to complain when they are tired of eating.They took advantage of the convenient location, and outsiders couldn't eat it if they wanted to.

Ye Mingze looked at the fried fish on the dining table with an inexplicable expression.The two little guys looked at the fish that the adults put into the bowl, pursed their mouths, and showed aggrieved expressions. Seeing that no one paid attention to them, they had to finish eating obediently.It was originally delicious, and it was not easy to eat fish, but now it is so unpopular, which is something that people never thought about before.

In fact, not only children, adults are not much better.At this time, food is not allowed to be wasted.Now that you have made it, you must finish it, and it is impossible to pour it out.Fortunately, there are many people, a large plate of fish will be gone with a few more chopsticks per person.

"Mingze, why is there fish every day, can you change it?" The eldest sister Yezhi looked worried when she saw that she ate the same fish every meal.

"Each meal is different! You see, today I ate pomfret, last night I ate tuna, yesterday at noon I ate hairtail. Well, I probably know where the problem is. It's not that they can't be flexible, but There are too few tricks to change. You should eat fish for this meal, and shrimps and crabs for the next meal. You can’t continue to serve different types of fish. No matter how different the types are, it is still fish, and the taste is similar, right? If you eat like this, the taste will definitely appear aesthetically pleasing Tired." Ye Mingze said while wondering if the fish could do other tricks, "I'll just talk to Mother Qin later."

The atmosphere at the Ye family's dinner table is usually very good, talking and laughing, and the pleasant lunch is over.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Jingzhi poured Ye Mingze a cup of weak tea. The tea was very hot, and it was just right to drink it later.After the awning was set up, most of the people in Yejia Village returned to normal work and rest.The same is true of the Ye family.

"Well, I'm wondering what other tricks sea fish can do."

"Then you thought about it?"

"Well, let's make a small amount of smoked fish with sauced fish, stewed fish, cured fish, and smoked fish, and try how the people here taste. If you like it, make more." Ye Mingze has eaten a lot of these flavors of meat.In my impression, the fish here have never been taken care of like this.

"I ate these when I was in the imperial capital, and I usually don't pay attention to this aspect, so I didn't think about it for a while." Jiang Jingzhi's expression was a little subtle.He didn't pay much attention to food before, but it's better now.Ye Mingze grasped the general direction of the Ye family's development. As his lover, Jiang Jingzhi naturally paid attention to the logistics, but he didn't notice such small things as how to eat the fish.

"What's the matter, you don't need to worry too much about food and clothing, you can just lead the guide team." Ye Mingze patted Jiang Jingzhi on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry about such trivial matters.

Since then, various flavors of sea fish have taken turns, and it is rare for them to be tired of eating fish.Individuals who are tired of eating, after eating vegetables a few times, their interest in fish returned.Fish is the meat you see the most, and you only see other meats every few days.If you don't eat fish for a few meals, there will be less oil and water in your stomach, so you will naturally stare at the fish.

In the past when they lived in peace, the servants couldn't eat enough to eat, otherwise they wouldn't sell themselves into the Ye family.In this chaotic world, they are enjoying the blessings, and their lives are better than before.This is all thanks to the master of the Ye family, and the servants have become even more loyal to the Ye family since then.As long as the servants are fed, in this kind of world, if you want to instigate them, the price should not be too high.

After Ye Mingze provided various methods of drying fish, he began to get busy making fish fillets.He said it, of course, and the cook followed suit.He knows how to make fish fillets and doesn't need to try many times.The fish fillets were freshly baked without keeping everyone in the Ye family waiting.Fish fillets are different from candied fruit, which is more in line with the taste of the public, while candied fruit is more popular with women.

Fish fillets can be used as snacks or as wine.When it came out, it was well received.Ye Mingze liked it himself, so he saved some to eat with Jiang Jingzhi, and distributed the rest to Ye Mu and others.After all, fish fillets are snacks, so eating them like this is a bit wasteful, and the Ye family doesn't make a lot of them.Let's try to sell it next time when we go to the big market. If the sales are good, we will make more and use it to exchange for food and daily necessities that the Ye family does not have.

There is no shortage of salt or sugar in the Ye family.Ye Mingze remembered that sugar beets in the north and sugarcane in the south can produce sugar.Beet is only regarded as a vegetable, and it has not been discovered to make sugar.It's a pity that in modern times he didn't pay attention to how sugar beets are made, but he would know how sucrose is made.It would be nice if the two could be swapped.Ye Mingze told the relevant personnel that sugar beet can be made into sugar, and they will try it when they have time. It will be the best if it succeeds, and there is not much loss for him if it fails.

After the earliest mature crops were harvested, Ye Mingze asked people to sprinkle alfalfa on most of the vacated fields.This is a very useful crop that can not only fertilize the field, but also serve as feed for livestock.It is cold here in winter, and only a small number of them can survive until next year.Those that survive will be able to leave enough seed for the next scatter.

The remaining fields are planted with early hardy vegetables.The population of the Ye family is increasing, and it is not enough to rely on more than 200 mu of vegetables.Alfalfa was also planted on the fields harvested one after another.The Ye family has a lot of livestock, and straw and the like are used for other purposes, and alfalfa can just fill the gap.

In mid-September, the latest rice and corn mature ahead of schedule.Sure enough, as previously speculated, the more late-maturing crops, the less illumination.Corn is better, but the light is not enough, and the water is not very lacking, but the rice is insufficient in both of these, and the yield per mu is only a little over one hundred catties.Fortunately, in Yejia Village, there are very few rice plants, so the impact is not great.

The harvest of rice and corn marks the completion of the first crop.The Ye family's land is a newly reclaimed barren land, and it is only the second year. It is poorer than good land, with an average yield of only 180 catties per mu.The households who joined Yejia Village last year had lower yields per mu.The other families are old farms, with an average yield of just over two hundred catties per mu.

This is the first crop, and the yield per mu of the second crop will be lower.After finishing the first harvest of crops, the Ye family had a lot of manpower free.

Now this time is the only time this year when there is idle labor and it is suitable to go out.Ye Mingze called the Ye family to discuss together.

"Father, mother, auntie, you'd better persuade them to move here. There is still time to build a house. If it is later, the house will not be easy to build after the cold. Their village is divided into upper and lower villages. They are not united. The village is surrounded by walls. No, now is the time for food to be stored in the warehouse, and several remote villages in Yangshan County have been robbed of food. To be on the safe side, it is safest to let the aunt and the others come here." Among Ye Mingze's close relatives, the only one is the aunt The house is still outside, so the second aunt troubled the fifth uncle and the others to take care of it, but he didn't care.The few uncles had a good life in Yangshan County, so he didn't have to worry about them.

"Okay, I will go with my eldest brother to persuade your eldest aunt tomorrow." Ye Zewu immediately took over the job.This matter should be taken care of by them as elders. It is because he has the ability to let the eldest son take the lead. Now let him take the lead, and he will naturally not shirk it.

"Father, mother, Jingzhi and I will go to pick up my father-in-law tomorrow. This time I will take away fifty sentinel guides, including 25 third-level sentinels, fifteen third-level guides and ten second-level guides. After I leave, At home, please ask Mingxi and Mingjiang to pay more attention. It is best not to leave Yejiacun if there is nothing to do. If Auntie is not willing, there is no need to force it. You don’t have to worry too much when I go out this time. A few days ago, I happened to contact a caravan , we can travel almost six hundred miles with them, and we need to travel alone for less than one hundred miles."

Ye Mingze slowed down, and then said: "I made an agreement with the caravan to wait for us for a few days when they return, and take us with them. They are happy to have more than fifty free guards."

For more than half a year, Yejia Village, a small force, has been quite well-known in Yangshan County.Every time a village goes to the market in Yangshan County, it is guarded by ten third-level sentinels and ten guides who are either second-level or third-level.There are only two or three forces in Yangshan County that can produce so many third-level sentinel guides, and everyone is very curious.

It's a pity that Yejia Village is too closed, and it is completely impossible to go directly to the village to inquire.That can only start with the villagers.When asked, the villagers faltered and hawed their answers, and the answers were not definite.

I really don't blame the villagers. The servants of the Ye family stay in the Ye family's house when they have nothing to do. They are independent and have little contact with the villagers.When they went to work in the fields, the walls separated them from the villagers.How many people the Ye family has is still a mystery.
