Survive through the ancient apocalypse

The animals that Ye Mingze and his team found were of course not only leopards, but the others did not reach level four, so let them go for now.Now that the leopard is aware of it, it will naturally not wait for them to visit.Ye Mingze and his party followed the leopard's trajectory and quickly walked through the mountains and forests.

The leopard only sensed that something was peeping at it, and it didn't have an exact direction when walking, and its running speed was not very fast.The crowd followed the leopard and quickly passed over various vegetation in the mountains, and the surrounding scene was rapidly retreating.

When Leopard felt threatened and Sa Yazi ran away, the distance between the two sides was already extremely close.The leopard was also capable, seeing that he couldn't run away, he simply stopped, found a big tree, and was flexible, and climbed to the top of the tree in a few strokes.

If the leopard had stayed on the tree from the beginning, maybe everyone would have ignored it.Now, hiding in a tree under the eyes of everyone, does it naively think that they will let it go?

Both Leopard and Ye Mingze and his party have good eyesight.When the leopard saw the humans pointing at it with bows and arrows, their big eyes were full of sadness, but they stubbornly did not show any intention of begging for mercy.

Everyone stared at the leopard, and naturally noticed something strange. Their eyes swept over its belly, and there was a slight bulge. They thought it was pregnant.When Ye Mingze came to this conclusion, he frowned unconsciously.What is the situation, and how is it that nothing is normal now?The leopard is pregnant in winter, hehe, does this mean that the biological habits have been disordered, and the previous experience is no longer useful?

Seeing Leopard's humanized expression, Ye Mingze's heart moved: "Brother Leopard, if you can understand, you can get down from the tree. We won't kill you."

Seeing the leopard's hesitation, Ye Mingze continued his efforts: "Don't worry, we didn't trick you down and hunt you down. Look, you're only one, and there are at least a dozen of us. Whether it's on the tree or on the ground, you I can’t even run away. Of course, there are conditions for not killing you, and letting you go unconditionally, don’t you believe it? I hope you can follow me in the future, and when you come to my house, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and someone will take care of your baby. The mountains and forests are full of dangers , it’s winter again, and there are few prey. If you stay here, it’s unknown whether you can safely give birth to a baby, not to mention that you have to work hard to grow it. If you don’t pay attention during this period, the baby may return to the embrace of the mountain god. You see How about it?"

Everyone else secretly looked at Ye Mingze like a fool, but he didn't care.This is a cost-effective deal, everyone is happy if it works out, but if it doesn't work out, he will spend a little time talking and nothing will be lost.

The leopard was still watching from above, but Ye Mingze and the others didn't make a move, and the two sides confronted each other like this.Everyone else felt that Ye Mingze was a little whimsical.Dogs are smart, they need to be well-bred to respond to their master's actions and words. This leopard is a pure beast with a wild temperament, and it is not a human being. How can it understand the voice?

Things are often unexpected, Leopard made a wise decision.It moves gracefully on the tree, like walking on the ground.Since the leopard made the choice first, it walked ahead of everyone fearlessly.It seems that human beings are timid, not as majestic as leopards.

Fortunately, there are very few beasts as humanized as leopards, otherwise, hunting them really requires a hard heart.With this out, Ye Mingze didn't have the heart to hunt any more level [-] beasts, so he simply searched for level [-] wood around here.

Trees are much easier to find, they don't run around like animals.Once found, they will not escape the hands of humans.After wandering around for a long time, the task was quickly completed.

Along the way, Leopard, Ye Mingze and his party seemed to be living in peace, but they were secretly on guard.

On the way back, the crowd didn't let go of the wild beast that was unfortunately hit by them. When they came out, they couldn't return empty-handed.When everyone was hunting, the leopard kept wandering around, wondering if it was hungry.Ye Mingze threw it a second-level hare. It smelled it, stared at Ye Mingze for a while, and then lowered its head and bit the rabbit.Seeing this, the corners of Ye Mingze's mouth could not help but curl up slightly: Well, if you are willing to accept food, the matter is not too difficult.After its cub comes out, it should be able to show its face in front of the Ye family.

After all, a leopard is a ferocious beast. Even though it looks very spiritual, Ye Mingze dare not keep it in Ye's house.In case something happens, where can he find regret medicine?

After entering the back mountain, Ye Mingze didn't go home, so he asked people to go back to get tools and boards, and then led a few people to turn east.The few hills there are not steep, and he and Jiang Jingzhi went in here when they were drying salt.The beaches on both sides of the pier are separated by several hillsides, close to the north side, and no one usually comes here.

Ye Mingze built a simple shed for the leopard at the foot of the mountain, where the leopard can rest if there is nothing to do.Are leopards cats or canines?Ye Mingze wasn't sure for a while, so he will bring some fish over next time to try.

After settling down the leopard, Ye Mingze didn't stay any longer.These days are normal work and rest, now it is midnight, he misses the warm kang bed at home a little bit.

Back home, Ye Mingze was lying on the warm blanket, Jiang Jingzhi was leaning against him, life was more beautiful than this.

The next day, Ye Mingze communicated with Ye Family Village about the leopard.The hillsides on the east side of the Houshan Mountain are mixed with rocks and soil, the vegetation is not lush, and there are not many wild animals, so there are few people who enter.Now that they learned that a leopard was raised there, everyone even detoured.

After Ye Mingze released the leopard, he didn't let it go. He would bring some fish to it from time to time.It seems that leopards should be cats, and they are very happy not to eat fish.

This leopard is really human, it has never appeared in front of people.The food provided by Ye Mingze is only enough for it to be half full at most. He doesn't want the leopard to lose its blood completely, and the mountains and forests are its best destination.Usually, when leopards go hunting, they go deep into the forest from the beach side, so they won't run into the people of Yejia Village.

The beasts have a strong sense of territory. There is a leopard sitting here. Beasts of the same level as it have to weigh their strengths before coming over.That's why Ye Mingze kept it near Yejia Village. With it, many potential threats can be reduced.

In the past few days, Jiang Jingzhi has been a little bit mentally ill, and he doesn't get enough sleep.The Jiang family is someone who has been there, and seeing Jiang Jingzhi doing this for several days in a row, he knows it well.She found a suitable time to clarify her words, and asked the doctor to take a look. As she expected, Jiang Jingzhi was pregnant.

After hearing this, Ye Mingze and the two of them didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"You two, what kind of expression is this? Don't you want it?" Jiang's face was in disbelief. The eldest son has been married for nearly three years. She usually doesn't say anything, but she is looking forward to the arrival of this child in private.

"Mother, where are you thinking? Didn't you not get mentally prepared, you were shocked all of a sudden, and you didn't react? Jingzhi, do you think so?" Ye Mingze interrupted quickly to avoid Jiang's random thoughts.

"Well, mother, what Mingze said is true. This is a happy event. It's too late for us to be happy. How can we not have children?" Although Jiang Jingzhi was mentally prepared for this, it still had a great impact on him when he first heard it.

"Oh, I was shocked. It's good that I didn't think so. You too, the child is almost two months old, and you didn't feel it. A few days ago, you took Jingzhi to the mountains to hunt. Fortunately, Jingzhi has a good physique, and the child can An'an just stayed there. When I thought of this, my mother was afraid for a while. From now on, I will serve snacks, don't be so careless." When talking about the child, Jiang couldn't stop talking.

"Mother, we all know, you are busy, I will take Jingzhi back to the room to rest." Jiang was afraid that the two big men would not know the things that should be paid attention to during pregnancy, so she kept talking about everything in detail.Ye Mingze's ears were callused, and he quickly found an excuse to stay away from Jiang's family.

Apart from slight lethargy, Jiang Jingzhi had no other symptoms.Ye Mingze didn't treat him like a fragile object, what he was in the past is what he is now, but he didn't let Jiang Jingzhi do the hard work.

After entering their own room, the two of them were relatively silent across the kang table.After being silent for a while, Ye Mingze moved away from the Kang table, got up and sat beside Jiang Jingzhi.He stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Jingzhi's stomach, the feeling was the same as before!Ye Mingze muttered softly.

Jiang Jingzhi took Ye Mingze's hand: "What are you talking about? The child is still young, so I can't feel it."

"It's amazing, we will have a baby next year?" Ye Mingze had this realization in his mind, but he needed some time to fully digest this information.

"Yeah." It's not easy for a man to get pregnant, and he can conceive two or three children in his lifetime. Those who can have four or five children must have great luck.Jiang Jingzhi's pregnancy was neither early nor late, so she followed the trend.For the arrival of this child, Jiang Jingzhi was both happy and embarrassed.Life after marriage was not in Jiang Jingzhi's previous plan. Although he silently acquiesced, the psychological gap was still unavoidable.It doesn't matter if he has a child, he will take away his last bit of unwillingness.

After the autumn harvest, the thatch, felt, tarpaulin, etc. used for sunshades were carefully put away by the villagers in case they will be used again next year.Now all materials must be used sparingly. Grass thatch is worthless, but it takes a lot of work to tie it up. But we try to use everything that can be reused, which can save a lot of labor.

Felt and oilcloth should not be wasted, these are used a little less.Most of the craftsmen with good craftsmanship work in the major forces. When their respective forces are not enough, there will be no goods to sell.

There are only a few apprentices in the entire Yejia Village who have not yet graduated from their masters. Their craftsmanship is not good enough, and the quality of the finished products can only be used.In this way, felt and oilcloth are still needed this year, and Yejia Village temporarily sent people to the city to learn.Entrusting others to do things is not only owed favors, but also what should be given must not be less.Fortunately, Ye Mingze asked his fifth uncle to help him set up the line. He was considered a member of his own family, so he could just give his grandfather some gifts.

Now, only alfalfa is left in the Ye family's fields.After the enough share of the family's livestock is reserved, the other alfalfas are allowed to grow in the fields, leaving fertile land.In normal years, most of these alfalfas would not survive the winter.Ye Mingze didn't bother about it, and asked someone to remove the awning on top of the alfalfa.The rest of the plants can gradually adapt to the sun. Ye Mingze believes that not all of the alfalfa will be killed by the sun, and a small part will survive.

People in Yejia village with a lot of livestock also sowed some alfalfa seeds.After two months of growth, the alfalfa has grown as long as a bundle.Seeing that the temperature dropped sharply, the villagers harvested the alfalfa that had not yet matured.Food is scarce now, and many wild vegetables that were only eaten by livestock in the past have also been eaten by humans.As a result, the livestock can eat less.In the past, there was no shortage of livestock to eat, and villagers did not need to specialize in planting grass.The year is not good this year. The villagers saw that the Ye family planted a large area of ​​alfalfa last year and the harvest was good, so they tried to plant some this year.

After several months of hard work, most of the walls around the fields in Yejia Village have been erected.Now the villagers are building the east wall, and from north to south, they are getting closer and closer to Yejia Village.The other villagers have basically resumed their regular life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Those who build walls and go fishing are still upside down day and night. They only see light in the morning and evening. After a long time, their dark skin turns white. Quite a lot.

The end of Xu.

"what!"

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi woke up suddenly, put on their clothes and got up instantly.The roof was crackling and crackling, it didn't look like it was raining.From time to time, there was a scream outside the village.

Ye Mingze didn't dare to delay, so he lit the oil lamp and opened the door to check.The lights pierced the dark night sky, and what they saw were snowstones as thick as an adult man's little finger, occasionally mixed with hail the size of a thumb.

With such a big commotion, no one in the whole village could still lie down.Hearing the screams outside, the villagers couldn't help but turn pale. The laborers at home were either building walls outside or fishing at sea. If such a large hailstone fell, the villagers dared not go down. think.

"The child's father, what should I do? The big and the younger are all outside, what should I do!" The woman was a little old, her eyes were full of tears, but she was holding on to her man's sleeve tightly, dying. They refused to let go.

"Mother, let go, I'll go out and find my son." The man desperately snapped his wife's fingers.

"How do you go out in this kind of weather? What can you cover? Bamboo hats, coir raincoats? Okay, you can go, there are still a few bamboo hats, and only one pair of coir raincoats. In the middle of the night, there are snow stones everywhere on the road, so be careful. , if something happens to you again, how will we survive with only a few orphans and widows left in our family.” The woman put two bamboo hats on her man, lit a torch, and looked at her husband’s resolute back. Tears filled his eyes again.

The same situation was played out in every family, and every family was full of sorrow.

Some people from Ye Mingze's house participated in building the wall, and were delayed outside like the villagers.Several relatives were working, so Ye Mingze had to go there because of emotion and reason.

"Father, I'll go out and have a look. You all stay at home. Don't sleep yet, pay attention to the roof. Don't worry, don't you have a carriage at home? Install the matching awning, be careful and you'll be fine." Ye Mingze took out his bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and stepped into the night resolutely.

These awnings for livestock were designed by Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi after bringing his father-in-law back.The original purpose was to shade the sun, but the shed was not big enough to completely cover the sun, and it rarely rains here, so it was put aside after it was completed.When the sunshade is not good enough, it is still appropriate to make a rain shelter. This time it is just used to prevent hail.

Back then, the shed was used to shade the sun, and the wood on the roof was not thick, so it might not be able to support it for a long time, so it was no problem to run around in the area of ​​Yejia Village.

When Ye Mingze found the chief steward, Zhang Bo was already in charge of setting up the Roman car. As expected of the steward, he was very thoughtful.Uncle Zhang not only prepared the carriage, but also dug out all the bamboo hats and coir raincoats of the Ye family, and even prepared a stretcher.

The bamboo hats were very thin, Jiang Jingzhi put two or three hats on Ye Mingze, for fear that his head would be smashed by the hail.In just a few steps between the Ye family's courtyards, Ye Mingze's top bamboo hat had already been smashed in several places.

"Is everything all right? Let's go when we're done. The road is full of hail, so everyone should be careful." Ye Mingze didn't delay for a moment, and if he arrived earlier, the chances of survival for the people outside would be higher.It's a pity that the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow stones, and the carriage couldn't go fast, so we couldn't take their group in again just to save people.

The Ye family only opened the gate on the south side of the house, and they had to go through the west gate of the village to go out.There are many people building the wall, and the battle line is very long.It was late at night, and there was no moonlight, and Ye Mingze and the others could not see the situation on the construction site clearly by relying on torches, so they could only rush forward as much as possible.

The Ye family had prepared a lot of things, and when they set off, many villagers had already rushed out wearing bamboo hats.There are only so many carriages in total, and it will be full with two hundred people, and the rest can only be left by themselves.

The carriage didn't go fast, because it was only four or five miles away, Ye Mingze and the others arrived quickly.There was no one on the construction site, only small pools of blood were left. Following the smell of blood and the sharp hearing of the sentry, Ye Mingze learned that most of the villagers who built the wall ran into the forest, and a few hid on the wall. in the arrow tower.

There are only mountains and forests around the field to avoid, and there is no shelter in other places.The villagers still have brains, they are not running around like headless chickens, and avoiding the mountains is the most appropriate choice.

The carriages were lined up one by one at the section of the wall where the construction started, and one was arranged every few meters.The villagers in the car each took a lot of bamboo hats and hurried into the forest.

"Brother, hold on, someone will come to pick us up soon." The young man's elder brother had a hole in his head and leaned against the big tree.The young man tore off a piece of cloth and pressed the wound desperately, but blood continued to ooze out.His eldest brother's face became paler and paler, and just when the young man was about to despair, he heard the sound of a horse stamping on the ground a few miles away, and the voice got closer and closer, "Brother, someone is here, someone is really here Listen, there are a lot of carriages coming. It's the Ye family, it must be the Ye family, there is a Lang Zhong in his family, and so many carriages are dispatched, the Lang Zhong must have followed, brother, if you hold on for a while, everything will be fine soon."

The young man's eldest brother just bled profusely. Although his head was opened, it was not fatal.The hailstones were not dense, if it fell like raindrops, few people here would probably survive.The elder brother of the young man was in a daze due to lack of blood. Through his blurred vision, he saw several people nearby who were more or less injured, and everyone was standing close to the tree trunk.At a time like this, no one dared to sit down, and even lying there would not even think about it, unless it was because they didn't want to die.

Both the young man and his elder brother were sentinels, and the young man was lucky. He was only hit on the back by the hailstone at first.The weather was cold, and everyone was wearing thick clothes. The hit on the back only made him hurt, not even a wound.Later, he supported his elder brother with one hand and covered his head with the other. Only the hand covering his head was hit with a small cut.

His elder brother is not too unlucky, the sentinel has a good physique, if it was changed to before, with such a big hole in his head, he would have died a long time ago.

The atmosphere in the young man's place was fairly peaceful, but the cries from other places made him turn pale, hoping it wasn't what he thought.

More than [-] carriages can't hold so many people, so the seriously injured can only get on the carriage first, and the servants and relatives of the Ye family are naturally also given priority.The villagers have no objection to this, this is the Ye family's carriage, and it is already benevolent enough to carry them, if there are more demands, it is their fault.

There are not enough bamboo hats, so each family chooses a few people, distributes three bamboo hats to each person, and walks back by himself.The rest can only continue to wait, there are still many villagers rushing here.

Ye Mingze took out a lot of felts and temporarily set up a simple rain shelter. The rest of the people were crowded in a few sheds.

In addition to being injured at the beginning and running into the forest, hiding in the forest is not so safe. From time to time, hailstones will fall through the canopy of the trees.In the mountains and forests, very few people were injured on the head, but many people injured their hands.If you get hit by the head, you may die, and if you get hit by the hand, you may lose your life. If you lose your hand, how will you live in the future!

With these temporary shelters, the villagers can really relax.As long as they survive this period, they will be able to return to their warm homes in a short time.

After waiting for a while, the villagers who brought bamboo hats to their families on foot also arrived, and they picked up a group of people.The rest continued to wait silently.

When the carriage returned again, everyone was obviously relieved.The top two layers of felt had already been smashed into many holes, and only the last layer was still there, and it wouldn't last long.

The rest of the people were relatively few, and all got into the carriage.There were so many people who were supposed to be noisy, but now they were extremely quiet. Who would have the heart to laugh when something like this happened.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.Those who built the wall thought that they would be able to live safely at home, but unexpectedly, the hailstorm kept falling.Many people's roofs have been smashed through. In such a situation, who dares to sleep?

After all, a home is much safer than a mountain forest. Even if the roof is smashed, there are still many household items that can be used.A few cabinets and boxes can create a safe space. People are fine, but they just don't feel like sleeping.
