Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Leopards are good at climbing trees, so it's easy to walk a rope ladder.Ye Mingze put the things on the city wall and asked the leopard to wait there, while he went back to the wooden house and took all the remaining usable items.

The two brothers Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang have been paying attention to the movement here. Not long after Ye Mingze's front foot left the courtyard wall, the two brothers arrived on the back foot.The wall blocked the figure of the leopard, and the two of them didn't see anything, so they had to open their five senses to observe, and the slight breathing of the leopard came into their ears clearly.

Ye Mingze said hello to the two of them. He came out this time to pick up a leopard, and the one who came to the wall was the target this time.

Beasts are very sensitive to breath. At a distance of about ten meters, the leopard will know it as soon as it smells it. It has seen the person before, and it seems to be very familiar with Ye Mingze, so it does not deliberately hide itself.

Ye Mingze is a fourth-level sentinel. This time he let go of his speed, and it only takes a cup of tea to go back and forth.When the two brothers heard someone climbing the rope ladder, Ye Mingxi couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, is it you?"

"Well, you're here just to help me move some things." Ye Mingze was not at all polite to him as they were all his own brothers.

After Ye Mingze got on the courtyard wall, he untied the rope ladder and moved to the other side to fix it.This time he took his things down the courtyard wall first, and after all the items were moved under the wall, the leopard followed slowly.

The snow was so thick that when the leopard was standing, it was only a head taller than the snow.At first, Ye Mingze was worried that it would be inconvenient to walk on the snow.Unexpectedly, once it exerted strength and gained speed, although it would not be able to step on the snow without a trace, it would only sink into the bends of its limbs and legs.It seems that this thickness does not hinder the movement of the leopard.

Ye Mingxi couldn't help being envious.Due to the high center of gravity, humans sink deeper than animals under the same circumstances, making it more difficult to walk in the snow.Just now, she was still envious, but when she saw her spiritual body, Ye Mingxi couldn't help but rejoice that beasts don't have this kind of treatment.

Ye Mingze watched Ye Mingxi's expression change again and again, and couldn't help but feel that his second brother is really a lover, and his emotions come and go quickly.Looking at the peaceful Ye Mingjiang on the side, Ye Mingze really couldn't understand why the twins are so different, one is lively and active, and the other is young and mature!

When Ye Mingze went out this time, he naturally notified the patrol officers on duty, so no one came out to investigate after they made such a big noise.

The leopard was arranged in the west wing, and Ye Mingze had someone make a wooden toilet suitable for the leopard, and someone was responsible for cleaning it every day.Leopard obviously doesn't like to be watched by people, Ye Mingze followed its will and didn't let people disturb its purity.

Except when the leopard moved into the main house of the Ye family and attracted people in the yard to watch, the rest of the time he was like an invisible person, and did not affect the lives of the Ye family. He lived as he did in the past.

In the short time Ye Mingze went out, the snow in the courtyard of the main house was as thick as the back of his feet.This is definitely a snowstorm.If this continues, everyone can only take turns sleeping at night.

On a snowy day, it gets dark later than usual, and when you look around, you can see dazzling white everywhere.

As the so-called auspicious snow heralds a good year, at the beginning, everyone was quite happy about the snow.Until the heavy snow fell endlessly, the people who cleaned the roof had frostbite to varying degrees.People's moods are getting worse as the snow gets thicker and thicker.I just finished cleaning this time, and my body has finally warmed up, and the next time I clean the roof is not far away.

It's better for people with more labor, and it's not so strenuous to take turns.If the family population is already small, it will be a big trouble.People can gather in several houses, saving some firewood and labor for burning kang.But you can't ignore those houses where people don't live!With the current snowfall momentum, if no one has been dealing with the snow on the roof, the house will be crushed by the snow tonight without waiting until tomorrow.

Most people will not just watch their houses buried in the snow and remain unmoved.Only those who are really powerless can only reluctantly give up other houses beyond their ability.

It is not easy for a farmer to build a house. In the past, it would be no different from cutting flesh on oneself.Now with the sentinel guide, building a house is not as difficult as before, and it can't be done in minutes.The roof collapsed, and some things in the house that were not suitable to be moved, such as the kang bed, suffered a lot of damage, which was also uncomfortable.

Others are good to say, those houses where firewood, food and people live must be the focus of care.With such a low temperature, if there is no firewood for cooking and kang, people will freeze to death in a short time.The same is true for food and the like.Fortunately, the temperature here is low, and the snow won't melt immediately, otherwise the follow-up troubles will be even greater.

In the Ye family, during the day, sentries of different ranks do the work of clearing snow.As time went by, the Sentinels also suffered frostbite to varying degrees.Since the higher-level sentinels are more able to resist the cold, they also work longer. After the two phases are offset, frostbite is not much better than others.

Ye Mingze didn't think it would work like this. Apart from the old, the young, the sick and the weak, ordinary people and guides also joined the snow-sweeping army.With the addition of these fresh troops, the pressure on the sentinels was relieved a lot.With the buffer, although frostbite is unavoidable, it is distributed to everyone, and the degree of frostbite will not increase.

Unexpectedly, there would be a snowstorm, and the Ye family did not have enough medicinal materials for frostbite, so those with slight cracks and frostbite had to find their own way.Every winter in Yejia Village is cold, each household will prepare commonly used antifreeze grease and the like, as long as the frostbite is not serious, these will be enough.

The temperature during the day is not too low, but the problem of frostbite occurs only because the original team frequently sweeps snow.At night, the low temperature of the fourth-level sentinels can't stand it, let alone ordinary people.

Even so, it is not possible to let the third and fourth-level sentinels take care of all the work.Ordinary people can't stand the low temperature, but as long as they wear thick enough clothes, they can still bear it for a short time.At this time, everyone has to do their part, and those with poor physique will arrange a shorter time.People are very self-conscious, and they don't go back to their rooms to rest until they can't bear it anymore.

As the master, Ye Mingze could have quit, but he didn't.I brought my brother-in-law and younger siblings to clean up my yard.With the leadership of the master, the servants worked harder.

Jiang Jingzhi knew his body, he didn't go out with Ye Mingze.Regardless of whether it is for himself or for the child, he can't hurt himself, not even frostbite.He stayed quietly on the kang, studying various medical books, paying special attention to the treatment plan for frostbite and the preparation of frostbite medicine.

Prescriptions for burns and frostbite are relatively mature, and they are found in ordinary prescription medical books.As for the unique secret recipes of each family, they are naturally rarely circulated, and Jiang Jingzhi naturally has no access to them.

Not many people could sleep soundly that night.Many people worry about whether the heavy snow will crush their houses in their sleep. They wake up from time to time, and the quality of sleep is really poor.

In the middle of the night, the wind picked up.The wind is only intermittent during the day, most of the time it is calm.At the same temperature, there is a big difference between wind and wind.Ye Mingze's family, no matter master or servant, no matter men, women, old or young, all bought a complete set of leather suits, from head to toe, everyone has it, but the quality of the fur is different.

The wind is fine on the body, but it is difficult to pass through the clothes and blow to the body with the leather clothes blocking it.The face is not good, people have to breathe and show their eyes, when the north wind howls past, it is really chilling.

When the wind just picked up, Ye Mingze woke up.He was planning to take over at the coldest time of night, but when he saw that the time was almost up, he didn't go back to sleep.When Ye Mingze moved, Jiang Jingzhi also woke up.

Jiang Jingzhi slept soundly.He knew that it was useless even if he worried, he might as well eat and sleep well.For him, not adding trouble to Ye Mingze is the best way for him.

"You'll wear more clothes later before going out. Don't rely on your body to be strong. You think it's okay to wear less. Now the water is dripping and freezing outside. If you don't pay attention, you will frostbite your hands and feet. There is no place to look for regret medicine." Jiang Jingzhi looked at Ye Mingze. Wearing clothes, do not forget to ask a few words.

"Well, go to sleep, the night is still long! Don't worry about me, I'll be armed from head to toe." Ye Mingze didn't talk too much, he put on several layers of clothes, and put leather pants on top of the cotton clothes.Move your hands and feet, feeling a little bound.But just sweeping the snow, this flexibility is enough.

As soon as Ye Mingze opened the door, the sound of the raging north wind came into their ears clearly.The door was closed just now, and the sound of the wind was not very loud. Only by being there, can people see the horror of nature.

In order to prevent the cold outside from entering the house, Ye Mingze quickly closed the door.The manpower transferred from other yards during the day is now arranged in the main house.Ye Mingze did not expect that the snow would last for so long, and the houses prepared for them were all improvised.

The shifts at midnight are all sentinels of the third and fourth ranks.When Ye Mingze came out, it was not yet the scheduled snow removal time, but he was not the first one.After that, one after another, people dressed and started working.

During the day, the snow in the yard was transported to the open space outside, and after the end of the night, the yard was left unattended for the time being.When Ye Mingze was in this batch, he was only responsible for cleaning the roof, and the yard would be dealt with after dawn tomorrow.

In the yard, Ye Mingze still couldn't feel how strong the wind was.It wasn't until Ye Mingze got on the roof that he couldn't stand upright that he had a deep understanding.The north wind only howled for a while, and a lot of the original thick layer of snow was blown off the roof.Seeing the situation, Ye Mingze decisively indicated that there was no need to clean the roof, and only sent someone to check it regularly.Only wait for the snow to accumulate to a certain extent before asking people to clean it.After the other courtyards received the news, they followed suit.

It is not without reason that Ye Mingze thinks so.The roof is covered with a layer of snow, just to keep out the wind.With this layer of shelter, the thatch below will not be blown all over the place and the roof will remain intact.

If the wind is only maintained at this level, it can save Ye Mingze and the others a lot of trouble.After keeping a few people on vigil, the others went back to their rooms to rest.

Seeing that Ye Mingze came back after leaving for a while, Jiang Jingzhi was a little puzzled: "What happened?"

"It's okay, it's very windy outside, leaving some snow just to protect the roof, I'll let them disperse first." Ye Mingze took off his coat, warmed his hands and feet on the kang, and then got into bed with only his underwear on.

The burning of the kang has long been done by the servants in rotation.As long as all kinds of accidents don't happen, Ye Mingze could have been a rich man in peace and stability, but God didn't fulfill his wishes, and before he got rich, all kinds of natural disasters would emerge one after another.Now Ye Mingze and the others can still live with their burdens. They don't know what kind of disasters are waiting for them in the future.

Ye Mingze didn't stay outside for a long time, and he covered his hands and feet before going to bed, but the heat wouldn't come up for a while, so he didn't get close to Jiang Jingzhi.There was no oil lamp in the room, it was pitch black, Jiang Jingzhi couldn't see anything with his eyes open, but Jiang Jingzhi could guess Ye Mingze's intention without thinking.Jiang Jingzhi put his hand on Ye Mingze's, exerted a little force, and signaled him to sleep a little bit.

The kang was quite warm, and Ye Mingze was not afraid of freezing Jiang Jingzhi, so he used his strength to move into the bed and hugged Jiang Jingzhi.The two have been married for nearly three years, getting along day and night, and they are the most familiar with each other.Jiang Jingzhi was not pretentious either. He put one hand on Ye Mingze's waist and adjusted it to the most comfortable position.The two were so close that they could clearly hear each other's shallow breathing.

Accompanied by the familiar breathing sound of the other party, the two put aside all kinds of troubles and thoughts, and soon met Zhou Gong.No matter how the north wind howled and raged, it failed to wake them up.The two had a good night's sleep.

The next day, despite being tossed about in the middle of the night last night, Ye Mingze woke up on time according to the original biological clock.Since becoming pregnant, Jiang Jingzhi has been a little lethargic, and now this point is naturally still in a good dream.No one yelled, which meant that nothing major happened last night.Ye Mingze was not in a hurry to get up, and lay in the warm blanket, lazily.Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it's not too much to sleep on the bed once.

Jiang Jingzhi's sleeping position is very good.Based on his background, he should have been specially taught by someone since he was a child. Presumably, this is the case for most of the big families, regardless of gender.The Ye family naturally does not have these requirements, and the quality of posture naturally varies from person to person.As long as the peasant daughter's rules are not too bad, no one will care, let alone a man.

It was said that he stayed in bed, but Ye Mingze's trip was not very comfortable.When a person is awake, it is naturally difficult to maintain the same posture all the time. If he wants to move, he is afraid of waking Jiang Jingzhi.Ye Mingze was in a dilemma because he didn't want to get up and couldn't move freely.

Just when Ye Mingze made up his mind to get up, Jiang Jingzhi opened his black and white eyes as if he had sensed it.Since he had just woken up, his eyes were a little confused.But before Ye Mingze saw it clearly, Jiang Jingzhi recovered in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you in the mood to sleep in late today?" Ye Mingze basically didn't have the habit of staying in bed, Jiang Jingzhi rarely encountered it, and he seemed to be sorry for himself if he didn't tease him.

"Isn't it just to wait for you, a slob!" Ye Mingze was not so easy to take advantage of, he lifted up a corner of the quilt as he said, took the clothes that had been smothered by the kang, and put them on one by one.When he was almost dressed, he picked up Jiang Jingzhi's clothes and handed them to him.

The two brothers Zhang Sen* were in charge of Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi. Seeing them get up, they divided their labor and cooperated. One brought hot water for the two masters to wash, and the other went to get breakfast.The work of the two brothers is not much.Ye Mingze was not used to having someone serve him personally, so Jiang Jingzhi changed his old habits as he did as he pleased.Ye Mingze didn't say much after knowing it, as long as Jiang Jingzhi was willing.

When Ye Mingze and the two got up, the wind had weakened, but the snow hadn't stopped, and was still drifting freely between the sky and the earth.The roof has been swept once, and it is time for dinner.The servants of the Ye family were eating and drinking a hot breakfast. Although their future was uncertain, they were genuinely happy at this moment.

This year's grain harvest is not good. For future consideration, after the autumn harvest, Ye's food has been reduced, and he can't eat with an open stomach like before, but it's no problem to get full. What's more, the Ye family provides three meals a day. meal.Needless to say, when they could eat hard in the past, even now, they are much more comfortable than they used to be.

After soliciting opinions from their own yards, the stewards of each yard once suggested to Ye Mingze to change three meals a day to two meals a day.Ye Mingze did not agree, and simply reducing clothes and dieting could not solve the problem fundamentally.What's more, doing so won't bring any benefits to the Ye family. Once people don't have enough to eat, they won't have the energy to work. At the same time, their physical fitness will also decline, and their resistance will weaken, making them prone to illness.

Ye Mingze has prepared medicinal materials, but the medicinal materials are not comprehensive, and it is difficult to buy them now, most of them can only be collected by themselves.Based on the above reasons, Ye Mingze only reduced the supply of staple food, and kept vegetables and fish as usual.

After Zhang Sen* finished serving meals, he voluntarily left the house, leaving only Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi to eat.For today's breakfast, the menu was set yesterday.The breakfast was not rich. In front of Ye Mingze was vegetable porridge and meat buns with leeks, while in front of Jiang Jingzhi was a large bowl of pork and taro dumplings with soup.Most people in the north are used to eating pasta, Ye Mingze eats rice noodles, but Jiang Jingzhi still eats white rice the most.

Like Jiang Jingzhi, Ye Mingze's father-in-law's family are used to rice as their staple food.After staying in Beimo Village for two years, their tastes have changed a long time ago. There are not many rice plants here, and most of the time they eat pasta.

The Ye family didn't harvest much rice, so it would be more than enough to supply a few masters, so Jiang Jingzhi kept his preference and didn't make any major changes.

The taro dumplings were provided by Ye Mingze, and the cook made them according to the pattern.Since taro can also be made into dumpling wrappers, taro has become a staple food of the Ye family.Jiang Jingzhi likes taro dumplings very much, and he always eats them several times a month.

Since every meal requires the same level of ingredients, many dishes cannot be served.This is also a frustrating thing, because many dishes have more ingredients than others, and after the least ingredients are used up, the dishes of this level can only be declared to leave the table temporarily.Other extra ingredients can only be matched separately.

Breakfast is simple, and eating is naturally fast.After the meal, Ye Mingze left the house, leaving Jiang Jing alone to study medical books on the kang.

Before the meal, a corner of the yard was cleaned.At this time, the people on duty have already started to clear the snow one after another.The yard was not cleaned overnight, and the snow in the yard had reached the hips of adults.

Ye Mingze looked at the crystal clear snowflakes flying around, but his mood was not very good.From early yesterday morning until now, the snow has been falling all day and night, showing no signs of weakening or stopping.It piled up so thick in just one night.Ye Mingze didn't need to go out to look, but he also knew that the snow could already drown people in the uncleaned places outside.

The Ye family not only needs to clear the snow from time to time in the house, but also the livestock houses.The Ye family has a lot of livestock, but fortunately, there are also a lot of people, barely enough.

It took a long time to clean the yard, and when the cleaning was finished, people changed rounds.Ye Mingze pushed open the courtyard door, only the passage between the courtyards that had been cleared yesterday was less snow-covered, and the place on the side that hadn't been cleaned since it snowed yesterday was already covered by Ye Mingze's neck.This is because the snow is too thick, and gravity has compacted the height of the snow underneath.

If the snow keeps falling, the house will be buried tomorrow.After seeing the general situation, Ye Mingze turned back to his room.It's useless for him to worry about it, so let's see what happens.The windows in the room are all decorations. Once the inner solid wood windows are opened, the only thing that can be seen is the white snow, and only a little light seeps in from the top of the windows.It's so cold now that I can't open the door. In broad daylight, the house is lit with lights.

"Mingze, how is it outside?" Jiang Jingzhi looked away from the medical book and looked at Ye Mingze intently.

"It's not very good. The snow is very thick. If we don't clean it up, we won't be able to walk on the road."

"That's all for us. I don't know if the child will have a chance to see the world." Thinking of the unborn child, Jiang Jingzhi looked a little sad.

"Don't think too much, it's not so easy for God to take our lives. When it really comes to that time, I'll be with you." Although Ye Mingze believes that man can conquer nature, it depends on when.Human beings are still too small in front of nature. When encountering natural disasters, they can only do a little bit with their current abilities.

Jiang Jingzhi is a transparent person, just now he was only worried about the child, but when it was his turn, he was not so sentimental.As long as you do your best in everything, you will not be in vain to come to this world.

Since the hailstorm, the roof of the Ye family has been repaired, and up to now, there has been no incident of the roof collapsing.There are many households in the Ye family village, but not all households are so lucky.Some have been re-laid with wooden boards, and the load-bearing capacity is relatively strong. As long as the roof is swept frequently, it will be difficult to collapse.

Those roofs were only patched and still had old-style roofs, and they needed a lot of attention when going up to the roof. Naturally, no one would take the risk of sweeping snow at this time, and it was not surprising that a few rooms were crushed by snow.Fortunately, these repaired houses are not inhabited. As soon as the things in the house are moved, the roof collapses, and the loss is not too great.

With the ready-made examples, every household is even more diligent in cleaning the snow on the roof.I'm afraid that if one doesn't pay attention, the roof of his own house will fall on his head.The few households who were determined not to build a wooden shelf have now wavered in their determination.I didn't have so much wood at home, so I had to ask people I knew acquaintance to borrow.They are also afraid, wishing they could use it right away.

It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is not so beautiful.Now that the labor of sweeping snow is not enough, I want to have a good rest whenever I have free time. The process of making wooden shelves is very slow, and those families can only think that they are unlucky. Make time to do it.

Time does not stand still for some people.Snowflakes are still flourishing, reluctant to part with you and me on the earth.No matter how worried the people of Yejia Village were, they could only hope that the heavy snow would stop soon.If this goes on like this, this day will be impossible.As time goes by, people feel that the days are like years.
