Survive through the ancient apocalypse

The builders, for better or worse, are back, and the fishers are still adrift.It is impossible to row the oars and raise the sails, and everyone hides in the cabin, and can only let the fishing boat drift with the current.

Ye's house is a newly built yard, and the roofs are relatively thick. Even so, there are still a few unlucky places that were completely smashed.Ye Mingze thinks this is not going to work, those who are at sea must find a way to bring them back.

The Ye family's two fishing boats have gone out to sea, and the family has no extra.He went to the village to ask, and found that there were still two fishing boats that hadn't gone out to sea, so Ye Mingze asked to borrow them.This time, he was not only to pick up the Ye family, but also to help find other fishing boats from Yejia Village.The owners of the two fishing boats gave them free of charge without saying anything.This is a matter of life and death. If someone offers to help, they are embarrassed to collect rent.Accepted, they are afraid that it will be difficult to stay in Yejia Village in the future.

Ye Mingze originally wanted to follow, but since Jiang Jingzhi had to accompany him, he dismissed this idea.The Ye family happened to have several pairs of sentinel guides who had been promoted to the fourth level. Ye Mingze picked four pairs, two pairs on each ship.Level [-] Sentinels have strong five senses, making it easier to find someone.The two pairs use their abilities in turn, so it is not easy to make mistakes.

A lot of bamboo hats, coir raincoats, fur gloves, and thick coats are equipped, and a lot of ropes are also prepared to prevent fishing boats from leaking, so they can be dragged with ropes.Before setting off, Ye Mingze asked people to carefully inspect the two fishing boats, and only let them go if there were no safety hazards.

Seeing that the preparations were about the same, Ye Mingze waved his hand to signal to go, and tried to come back before the sun rose.

"Go to sleep, it's not good to stay up late, I'll watch over you!" Ye Mingze said that with his support, Jiang Jingzhi could sleep peacefully.

That night, Jiang Jingzhi didn't sleep well at all, and was awakened by the sound of hail hitting the roof from time to time.Wake up and sleep, sleep and wake up, until the hailstorm gradually dissipated before sleeping soundly.

At the right time, all the fishing boats were found.The people were fine, and when the hail came, they hid in the cabin.It's just that the fishing boats are all damaged to varying degrees, and it is temporarily impossible to continue to go to sea.Fishing boats are external objects, as long as people are fine.

The hailstorm lasted for several hours, and the roofs of every house were smashed and riddled with holes.

At dawn, people went out to check, and found that none of the roofs were still in good condition, even the newly built house of the Ye family was no exception, but the loss of his family was small.

The Ye family's main house is all green brick and tile houses, and the tiles are almost smashed.If the hail covered the entire Yangshan County, then bricks and tiles would be out of the question.Ye Mingze had no choice but to patch up the leaked roof, remove all the tiles, put a layer of felt on the original roof, add a layer of wooden planks on top of the felt, cover another layer of felt on the wooden planks, and cover the top with thatch.

The roof is covered with double-layer wooden boards, which is more than enough to keep out the rain and snow as long as there is no more hail.

There was a lot of hail last night. Ye Mingze was afraid that his family members would be in danger, so he didn't let them go out. He only told about the situation of several relatives.The family members heard that there were no major problems with their relatives, and that it was really dangerous to go out in this kind of weather, so they stayed safely in the room.At dawn, they couldn't sit still, and went to their nearby homes one after another.

Last night, almost half of the people in Yejia Village were building walls, at least half of the people were injured, and almost every household had wounded.Fortunately, the construction site is on the side of the mountain, and the human physique is better than before. There are no deaths. Only some people were unlucky enough to have their heads smashed, and some of them are still unconscious.

Most of the rest of the injuries were on the hands, and only the head protectors were injured, except for the few who fell by themselves.

The people who built the walls were young and middle-aged men and women, and now half of them have to recuperate from illness, so repairing the roof has become a hassle.Seeing that December is about to enter, the villagers can only repair a few main houses first, and the whole family squeezes together, and the other houses will be repaired slowly when there are people in the future.

There is not much wood available for each family, and at most one or two roofs can be repaired.Fortunately, there are dead trees everywhere on the mountain. After cutting them back and letting them hang out for a few days, they can barely be used after a little treatment.If you want to completely renovate the roof, you can only wait until next spring.

The hail came and went without a trace, leaving everyone with a messy roof afterwards.Life was already difficult, but after suffering from this unreasonable disaster, it became even worse.

Like Yejia Village, local materials can be obtained. After all, there are only a few people who are not short of wood or stone.The low-level households in those towns had to travel far away to cut trees and pay the craftsmen more food than before, and they could barely repair one or two houses that could live in them.There wasn't enough food in the first place, but now they have to cut down on food and clothing, which is really desolate.

The north was alright, with very little loss of life, except for the damaged roof.After all, there are not many people like Yejia Village who just build walls outside. The autumn harvest is over, and people are cats at home at night, and there are very few people directly exposed to the hail.

It was miserable in the south. In November, there were many people working in the fields, and there were many casualties.

Ye Mingze only squinted his eyes and fell asleep for a while when the hailstorm stopped, and went to Jiang's house with Jiang Jingzhi just after dawn.At this time, the other Ye family members rushed in three directions, Jiang's family went to visit Ye Mingze's grandfather, Ye Zewu went to Ye Shu's house, and the remaining two brothers, Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang, went to visit their uncle's family.

Almost half of the villagers sent out each family to build the wall, and only one-third of the relatives of the Ye family participated in the wall building, and the lack of people was made up by the servants of the Ye family.Of course, the Ye family only takes care of their own relatives, and they don't care about their relatives, just like the eldest aunt's husband's family, they can do as much as they should.

Ye Mingze brought some brown sugar to the door.Beet sugar has not been successful, and brown sugar has become a rarity.Ye Mingze's family didn't have much, so if they took a little, they could replenish blood for the wounded.

Four members of the Jiang family were injured, but fortunately they were not seriously injured.There are only two doctors in Yejia Village, and the others are still apprentices who have not graduated from the teacher.There were too many wounded, and the doctor couldn't take care of them, and the minor injuries were all thrown to the apprentices to bandage them.Fortunately, the wounded were basically traumatic, and the apprentices were still able to cope.

Four people were injured, three of them with hand injuries.The other person was hit on the head, but he was lucky, the wound was on the edge of the head, and the injury was lighter than the other three.The three people with hand injuries can only eat with spoons in recent days, but they can't use chopsticks if they want to.

The roof of Jiang's house has only been renovated for two years, and it is not as strong as Ye's new house, at least it is better than most other houses.Even so, after the hailstorm last night, the roof is still terrible.

When Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi arrived, the Jiang family was busy cleaning the roof tiles.Seeing Jiang's mother, she hurriedly greeted the two of them.Ye Mingze put down the door-to-door ceremony, seeing that his father-in-law's family was really busy, the two of them went home after visiting the wounded.

Seeing that the sun is about to rise soon, every household has no time to repair the roof, so they just fill in the places where the light leaks, and let the day pass.

It was dark at night, and even with the torches on, roofing was a dangerous business.The houses in Yejia Village have only one floor, and the roofs are at most three meters high. With the current sentinel's physique, jumping down will scratch the skin at most.The problem is that once the roof is repaired and the roof falls off by accident, it will be passive and actively jump down.If the fall is not in the right place, it is very possible to break an arm or a leg.

We are about to enter the winter break period, and the time is very tight, and the time in the early morning and evening is not enough.The villagers came up with their own ideas and were fully armed from head to toe.Others are easy to talk about, they are all ready-made, but it is more difficult to deal with on the head, as a bare hat can't cover the whole head.Skillful people imitate the curtains that ladies wear when they go out, widen the brim of the hat, and hang a circle of thick cloth from the edge, only covering the eyes with a translucent window screen.

In this way, humans can work in the sun.Depending on each person's physique, the time that everyone can persist is also different.The first ones who can't stand it are ordinary people. When they feel uncomfortable, they will consciously go to the house to rest. Trying to be brave will only drag down the family. Everyone knows this.

Then came the low-level Sentinel Guide.The guide's body is much weaker than the sentinels of the same level, so it should be evacuated with the sentries who are lower than them but have similar physique.This is not the case, there is almost no difference in the persistence time of the guide and the sentinel of the same level.It seems that the radiation of the sun is only related to the grade, not directly linked to the physique.

When it was time, the highest-ranked fourth-level sentinel guides couldn't bear it, and retreated into the house one after another according to their respective abilities.In winter, one can wear thick clothes to resist the sun's radiation, but in summer one must not do so, otherwise, even if there is no problem with being exposed to the sun, one will have to cover up one's body to be sick.

After this flexibility, the progress of the roof repair is much faster.The Ye Family Sentinel has more guides, and the work is more efficient. After using the ready-made materials, the rest can only wait.It will take some time for freshly cut wood to be used. Even if it is dead wood, it must be treated, otherwise it will be easily eaten by insects.

After a few days of busy work, the villagers finally repaired a few houses before the winter break, which is enough for a family, and the other houses can only be adjusted slowly in the future.

After the hailstorm, Ye Mingze let go of his hearing to perceive the leopard, and found that there was nothing wrong with it. The house was busy repairing the roof, so he had no time to look at it.In the evening, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi went out with some fish and shrimp to watch the leopards.

This time they went out from the east gate of the village, walked on the beach, and went directly over the short hill to the other side of the pier.The simple plank house built for the leopard has a roof full of holes.Fortunately, the wooden house was built on the hillside, covered by trees, and the roof was hardly smashed through, which was more intact than most houses.

Leopard looked up and saw that they were acquaintances, so he ignored them and continued to sleep as if no one else was there.Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi had gotten used to the leopard's attitude, put down the fish and shrimp, and the two began to get busy.

There is not enough wood at home, Ye Mingze is embarrassed to use it for the leopard.He and Jiang Jingzhi took local materials, found a lot of small branches and vines and tied them up like grass thatch, and then covered the wooden roof layer by layer.

When we first built the wooden house, we made a door, but the leopard never used it, and the door was left open every time the two came.Ye Mingze didn't care if the temperature was right before, but now the temperature is getting lower and lower, so you can't do without closing the door.

The door opened inward. Ye Mingze demonstrated how to close the door, and then blocked the door with a big stone, then moved the stone, opened the door, and walked out of the door.After going back and forth a few times, Leopard seemed to understand it, got up and did it like Ye Mingze, and it was really decent.Ye Mingze patted the leopard on the head, and even praised it for being smart.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and another pile of furs piled up in the corner of the wooden house.Ye Mingze put the processed furs by the leopard's den, picked up the pile of fresh furs and returned home.The leopard has gotten used to it, and has no reaction at all when Ye Mingze takes away his things.

Leopards don't need that much fur, and Ye Mingze will leave some of it after each treatment.This was agreed by Leopard, and the two parties can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

When the two arrived home, it was already dark, and the family members were all gathered in the main room, so they were the only ones missing for dinner.

"Ming Ze, I will go to Yangshan County with your uncle and aunt tomorrow to see your grandfather, and Mingxi and Mingjiang will also go, how about you?" Ye Zewu had no time to rush to the county this morning, so he had to leave at the beginning of Yinshi tomorrow.

"Go, I just want to buy some more things, I wonder if I can get them." Ye Mingze happened to have something to go to the county town, so he went to visit his grandfather and the others.

Solar radiation is kind of annoying.This time the hail leaked the roof, and people had to patch the leak before the sun came out, or they would not be able to sleep peacefully. This feeling was really unpleasant.If one day the house is cooped up, and it happens to be broad daylight, how can people live?

Ye Mingze remembered the tent he used to pick up his father-in-law last time.These tents have been kept after use, but the quantity is not enough. Ye Mingze wants to continue to buy some, so he plans to go to the county to try his luck.

When Ye Mingze and his party arrived, the genius was dim.As soon as they entered the city, through the car windows, everyone saw the residents on both sides of the street busy repairing their roofs.Occasionally, some roofs or even the entire roof can be seen collapsed.Yangshan County is no longer as lively as it used to be, the flow of people in the market is much less, and craftsmen such as carpenters are quite busy.

Father Ye, brother and sister went directly to Uncle Ye Mingze's house, and everyone else went to the market.Ye Mingze went straight to the goal and visited several stores. Whether it was tarpaulin or tents, as long as the shopkeeper was willing to sell them, Ye Mingze could buy as much as he wanted.

The Ye family is basically headed by Ye Mingze, as long as it is a reasonable move, the family will not oppose him.Before he came out, Ye Mingze had reported to his parents what he wanted to buy and why.Parents agreed, and the others had no objections.When Mingxi and Mingjiang saw their eldest brother buying these in large quantities, they naturally wouldn't be surprised, as if it was a matter of course.

Ye Mingze bought these. The tent canvases were all in stock in the past. The oilcloths were in short supply and not many were sold.Ye Mingze's main target is the tent, tarpaulin and canvas are just incidental, the best he can buy, and he will not be disappointed if he can't buy them.The craftsmanship of tents is passed down from nomadic peoples.Usually tents are mostly sold to merchants and wealthy sons.Since the chaos of the world, fewer and fewer people buy tents.

Today, I finally came across someone who bought a large number of tents. Although the traded goods were only dried sea fish, the shopkeeper also received very awkwardly.There are not many buyers like this. I want to meet another one next time. I don’t know if I will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

The shopkeepers cleared the goods quickly, and Ye Mingze was also happy to receive the goods.He didn't know whether these materials could be used, and he could buy as much as he could within the scope of his own ability based on the principle of avoiding excess.

Ye Mingze and his party wanted to get back to his fifth uncle's house before the sun was shining, so the shopping came as quickly as they could, and they didn't dare to delay at all.

Hurry up, they just stepped on to Ye Ze's family.Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief seeing that his sons had come back on time.If they were later, they would have to stay at the market until the evening, which was a waste of time.

Ye Mingze glanced casually. The main house where Mr. Ye and the others live has been repaired. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that the roof has been damaged, and the east and west rooms are almost repaired. You should be able to take care of the courtyard tonight.

Ye Ze's family is different from Ye Mingze's family. The servants of Ye Ze's family are servants and cannot be compared with the master.As for the servants of Ye Mingze's family, Ye Mingze used them more as employees. Although they did not have personal freedom, their treatment was similar to that of ordinary people.Of course, Ye Mingze didn't want to look too special, but he didn't want to beat and scold his servants casually, and tried to feed and clothe them as much as he could bear.

It's okay to say that some powerful families and decent servants may live better than the young masters and ladies of small families.Ye Mingze couldn't spoil them, he raised them like young masters and young ladies.What kind of master raises what kind of servants, the Ye family members don't have the temper of young masters, let alone servants.

Even so, there is at least one thing that is incomparable to others, that is, Ye Mingze regards servants as individuals.Under Ye Mingze's unconscious leadership, the rest of the Ye family were influenced by him and would not treat his servants slowly.

Ye Ze's family only renovated a few rooms for servants, and the servants crowded into a few rooms, but they didn't complain at all.This is the normal state of the Daxing Dynasty.Now almost every family is short of food, and the servants in Ye Ze's family are already satisfied with food and drink.They were afraid that something bad would upset the masters and be kicked out.In this kind of world, how could a servant who was driven away by his master survive?Because of this, the current servants are much better than those in the Taiping years, at least there are much fewer stealing and cheating.

The servants of Ye Mingze's family are not ignorant of good and evil. They have seen how other people's servants are treated, and look at themselves. If they are not satisfied with this, then they really become wolf-hearted people.Therefore, they work harder to do things for the master, which can be regarded as doing a little bit for the master.

Ye Zequan had to go to the yamen during the day, go out in the morning and come back in the evening.He is naturally not at home at this point, only Mr. Ye and Ye Zecheng and Ye Zecheng are there to accompany him.Ye Shu was led to the side of the women's family, and was not in the main room with a few brothers and daughters-in-law.

Ye Mingze's sister-in-law, Ye Qin, got married at the end of last year. She married a subordinate of Ye Zequan, and she lived a decent life.Ye Qin went back to her natal family to see it yesterday, and today she got the news that the three brothers and sisters from her hometown came to the city to see Mr. Ye, so she also rushed over.

Ye Mingze's second aunt, Yezheng, was taken to Yangshan County as he expected.It's just that the second aunt took care of the family, and Ye Zequan bought them another house for their family to live in, and arranged a few unimportant positions for them.In doing so, Ye Zequan has done his best, and the rest must be done by themselves.After all, to him, except for Ye Zheng's family, everyone else is an outsider.

Like Ye Qin, Ye Zheng rushed back today.This is really a rare reunion. When Ye Zequan came back in the evening, Mr. Ye's children were all together.

This year's grain harvest is very low, only the upper echelons of various forces can order slaves, and most of the families are starving.Ye Zequan belongs to the power of Caozhi County, and there are not many people with more power than him. Naturally, his family belongs to the upper class of Yangshan County.

In the past two years, Wen's had really experienced the addiction of being an old lady.There is a maid at home to take care of her, so she doesn't need to do anything.Except for being unable to handle the younger daughter-in-law, the other two daughter-in-laws are still very good.In the past, those country women gradually restrained their attitudes, but now, she despises the peasant family instead, and doesn't think about her own background.

Fortunately, these are just complaints behind her back, and she dare not mess around on the surface.If she really messed up like this, Mr. Ye would not spare her in the first place, and Ye Zequan would not agree with Wen's doing so.

Wearing silk and satin clothes, Wen Shi looked at Ye Shu in cotton clothes, and naturally looked down upon her. Although it didn't show on her face, there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.She thought she was hiding her emotions well, but she didn't know that the daughters and daughters-in-law in the room had seen the clues.They are all juniors, and they don't like to judge the elders, they just pretend they didn't see it.

Naturally, Ye Shu also saw it, glanced at it lightly, didn't say anything, and didn't even take back the smile just now.Wen's just disdains, it's much more elegant than accusing Sang and scolding Huai for a single dissatisfaction before.Ye Shu couldn't be hit by this level at all.She lives in Yejia Village now, with her second nephew Ye Mingze helping her from time to time, her life is much better than ordinary people.Because of her natal relationship, her husband's family treated her better.She lived a comfortable life, and her mood was natural and carefree.Such a small matter is completely ignored.

Ye Shu never thought of currying favor with his younger brother's family. Naturally, he didn't need to lower his stance in front of his fifth sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wen, and just treated each other like ordinary relatives. What was his attitude before is what he does now.Ye Zheng and Ye Qin are just the opposite. They are always trying to curry favor with Mrs. Liu intentionally or unconsciously.

Ye Qin was fine, even if she praised others, she would do so naturally, leaving no obvious traces.Ye Zheng can't do it anymore. When she speaks, other people can understand what she means without having to think about it.

Except for Xiao Liu who is not yet fully used to her straightforward way of speaking, the rest of the people have long been familiar with it, and Ye Zheng has always been like this.From this point of view, Xiao Liu doesn't really like this second aunt, but at least she doesn't hate her. Such people are much easier to get along with than those who are full of twists and turns.

It is perfectly normal for Ye Zheng and Ye Qin to please their natal family, especially Ye Ze's family.Both of them need the support of their natal family. Since they have something to ask for, their attitude will naturally show it.Ye Shu himself is the same, although he doesn't need to deliberately please his two brothers, it is also true that he gets closer to them when getting along.
