Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Except for Ye Zewu and the Jiang family, everyone in the Ye family participated in the snow-sweeping operation.Yeats didn't wake up, so he joined the group at the end of the afternoon.Yeats was born in a farming family, so he still has a lot of strength.It's just that after all, it can't be compared with the awakened sentinel, and the efficiency is much lower.Since ordinary people accounted for one-third of the Ye family's population, and they were only responsible for the two periods of noon and late afternoon, each person was responsible for cleaning a small area. After such calculations, it was faster than Ye Mingze and the others.

The master of the Ye family and their corresponding servant girl were on duty separately. When Yeats finished her own work, her exclusive servant girl was bringing hot water to her room, and Yeats took the bucket and went directly into the inner room.The Ye family is like this, and they usually don't let their exclusive servants get too close.This was decided by Ye Mingze early on, and the rest of the Ye family did not object, and felt that doing so was in line with their wishes.After all, no one wants unrelated people to invade their lives.

"Are you still thinking about your parents?" Taking a bath in the cold weather is not suitable, Yeats hurriedly finished washing, came out from behind the screen, and found that Li Zhuang's face was numb, and he knew that he was thinking about him again without even thinking about it. Parents.

"Well, after all, we have been together for 20 years. At the beginning, it was completely broken, but the relationship can be broken as soon as it is said." Li Zhuang just thought about it in his spare time. If he really wanted to treat them like before, he couldn't do it. arrived.

"It's good that you know it yourself. If they are lucky enough to find them, I don't object to you helping them a little bit, but you have to have a degree. It's impossible for me to treat them according to the etiquette of my parents-in-law." Ye Zhi knew that even though they broke up with their parents-in-law thoroughly, the world would turn to them for no reason, just because they were Li Zhuang's parents was enough for them to stand on the moral high ground.Fortunately, in the midst of a disaster, most people can't worry about their own affairs, so there is no one who can care about their own affairs.In the past, unless they moved far away, this burden would never be shaken off for the rest of their lives.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the snow was still dancing between the heaven and the earth regardless of human will.Every time there is more snow, people's mood will be worse.People are eager to wear them, wishing they could turn into the sun to collect them.But Xuehua is like a naughty child, very much in love with the world, and has no desire to go home at all.

The wind is not strong, only small snowflakes can be blown, but it hurts when it blows on the body.This is a unique sight only when the temperature is low to a certain extent.The roof is the most important object of care, and the people on duty only need to shovel the snow into the yard or out of the yard.The real hassle is cleaning the yard.The area of ​​the yard is not much smaller than that of the house. In addition to accumulating snow, it also needs to be transported to the outside of the yard.This extra process is not easy. After a day, I don’t know how many times it has to be transported back and forth.

Although everyone is eager to nest on the warm kang, but no one on duty will shirk.This is fighting for a better living environment for themselves.Only by suffering now can life be easier in the future.How cold it is, how bad the environment is, these are nothing compared to life.

Ye Mingze has done everything he can do, food, firewood and medicinal materials are provided in sufficient quantities, and the rest can only be left to fate.

Soon it was evening again, and the temperature began to drop gradually.I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but during the snowy days, there was no sunshine during the day, so people were able to go out and work in broad daylight.Otherwise, if the killer of sunshine makes things worse, it will be much more difficult for people to clear the snow.

There are more than a dozen courtyards in the Ye family. Except for the main house of the Ye family, which is a house with green brick and wooden roofs, the other courtyards are all built with stone walls. The first few mud tile houses were later renovated into stone walls and wooden roofs.Originally, the roofs of the Ye family's courtyards were covered with tiles, but unfortunately, a hailstorm suddenly destroyed everything.Now all the roofs are uniformly made of wooden boards, and covered with tarpaulin felt and thatch for leak prevention. It should be fine within a year or two.

Another sleepless night tonight.Yesterday was better, but today everyone is really worried. People are afraid that when they wake up tomorrow, the house will be submerged by heavy snow. This possibility is too great.

The walls of each courtyard of the Ye family are only about five meters high, and only the outermost walls are seven or eight meters high, and the height of the houses is only a little over three meters.Before going to sleep, the thickness of the snow had reached more than [-] meters, and after one night, it could reach [-] meters.The corners of the mouths of many people's congresses had blisters in winter, but it was a pity that Xuehua still went her own way without any regard for people's feelings.

Ye Mingze is also worried, but he has not yet reached a desperate situation, and he will not give up.Jiang Jingzhi's mind is more delicate, but he doesn't worry too much about unnecessary things.

No matter how worried, the night passed quietly.When Ye Mingze got up, as most people expected, the snow outside the yard was already almost level with the house.The Ye family's houses are fine, and the cattle houses are under a lot of pressure.Stables and the like are not built high, and now the snow is crushed over the roof.This has added a lot of trouble to the Ye family.Regardless of the impossibility of animals, meat and animal power have to rely on them.Livestock and poultry are all dead. Not only is there a problem with food, but it is also inconvenient to go out.

Ye Mingze had no choice but to ask Zhang Bo to assign some people from the intense labor force to take turns to take care of the barn.This snow is really endless. If it goes on like this, people will be dragged down.

In everyone's mind, at noon, the heavy snow finally showed signs of stopping, the snowflakes were no longer densely packed, and became much more relaxed.In the evening, the snowflakes are like drizzle, which can be ignored.Everyone's hanging heart finally let go.

The snow has almost stopped, but the next work is no less than when it snows.Ye Mingze, as the person at the helm of the Ye family, needs to think a little more about everything.Now the snow outside each yard is almost like a time bomb. When the snow melts, if it is not cleaned up, then wait for the flood at home.Everyone can imagine that in an environment around zero degrees, if water enters the house, hehe, he can only offer these two words.What's more, who can guarantee that there will be no such heavy snow in the future?

Another morning, the snow had completely stopped, and the sun hadn't risen yet, but it was about to show up.The Ye family is very busy, the first thing they have to do is to open the door of the Ye family.The door was frozen solid by ice and snow, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to barely open it.Fortunately, the gate of the courtyard opens inward, if it is pushed outward, I really don't know what to do.

Afterwards, it is not so urgent to clear the snow between the various yards. Now that the temperature is so low, there is no need to worry about the snow melting for a long time. They just need to deal with some every day and they will be fine.Everyone has been exhausted for the past few days. Ye Mingze is not the kind of master who wants to take care of everything without profit. Naturally, he will not be in a hurry for what needs to be slowed down.He only sent some people to clear the road connecting his relatives every day, and he was unable to manage the rest for the time being.

As the days passed unhurriedly, the snow in Ye's courtyard became less and less.Seeing that it was entering the comfortable cat winter session, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi frowned on the amount of firewood reported by Uncle Zhang.

December is the coldest day of the year, as we all know, this month consumes a lot of firewood, so there is no problem.But in previous years, it was not as cold as it is now. From that heavy snowfall to the present, in less than a month, the firewood consumption was more than [-] times that of the same period last year, which is very abnormal.

The Ye family has prepared a lot of firewood, but if it is consumed like this, when the weather warms up, there will be very little firewood left.This still does not take into account other circumstances. In case something happens halfway, the temperature rises late or there will be a few heavy snowfalls, the firewood will really be enough to wait until the beginning of spring.The Ye family has to plan to use firewood, let alone other families.

The bad things are really one after another, it's endless.Ye Mingze has already prepared as much as possible, but unfortunately there are so many places that need labor this year, and he can't spare too many people to prepare.The current situation is not bad, at least it can last for a long time.It seems that the budget for bathing in winter will be reduced, and the Ye family has no objection to this.

Most of the servants of the Ye family were recruited by Ye Mingze because they were poor and had no tiles to cover themselves. Naturally, firewood was saved in winter, and they didn't have the habit of taking a bath every seven days.After they came to Ye's house, Ye Mingze asked them to do all of these things.Now let them reduce the number of baths, and they naturally have no complaints.

The number of baths can be reduced, but cooking and kang cannot be saved.The firewood has been prepared enough this year, but it is still a bit stretched due to various reasons.Ye Mingze decided that next year he must prepare more. There are only three things to do, so he can no longer be caught off guard by various accidents like this year.

The roads between the Ye family and the four relatives have all been cleared, and it is much easier for the five families to travel.Under the bone-piercing cold environment, the Ye family communicated with the other four families only on the day when the road was opened, and they did not communicate with each other at ordinary times, so they all stayed at home for the winter with peace of mind.The greater the amount of activity, the more meals each person consumes. Naturally, a little food can be saved.

After listening to Ye Mingze's suggestion, the four relatives without exception cleared the snow in their yards.Half of the people in Yejia Village followed in Yejia's footsteps, actively cleaning their yards and the road outside their gates.The remaining half of them didn't take it seriously at all.Also, it seems that clearing the snow this time is of little use, and nearly half of the people followed suit, which has already shown the authority of the Ye family in the Ye family village.

Ye Mingze has always been adhering to the principle that I have something to say, I have a suggestion, and I don't care if I do it or not.As for the consequences of doing or not doing it, he will not bear it.

Clearing the snow is indeed a labor-intensive task that is not necessarily pleasing. Maybe the temperature will slowly rise and the snow will melt slowly, which may not necessarily cause bad consequences.Ye Mingze is just taking precautions before they happen, and one less unfavorable thing is one.

Ye Mingze stood on the courtyard wall outside his house, and at a glance, he could see that many houses in Yejia Village had accumulated snow in their yards, and some even just cleared the snow near the aisle of the house, and there was no movement in other places. didn't move.Ye Mingze sighed, these families are so courageous, the snow piled so high, they didn't worry at all, he expressed his admiration.

Since the sun can burn people, all the houses in Yejia Village have been simply remodeled, and a corridor was built outside the house to connect all the houses in the yard together.Because of this, snowy days are just convenient for these people.They don't need to go to the well to fetch water, just take some snow in the yard and use it as water.Most people have two cellars, one entrance is in the bedroom and the other entrance is in the other utility room.Since they don't have to go out of the yard to get food, water and firewood, and the snow doesn't hinder them, they are naturally happy to use snow to melt water every day to eat away the snow in the yard little by little.

Ye Mingze also had to admire their whimsy.It's just that the speed of consuming snow is too slow, so I hope nothing happens.

Those who were the last to make bed frames also finished work one after another.It's a pity that the luck is not very good. It snowed heavily within a few days after starting work. After the work was done, the road was blocked by heavy snow. No one helped to do it together. We could only rely on our own craftsmanship. Naturally, each family's work is good or bad.In any case, the finished product was finally produced, and after the installation was completed, the hanging heart was finally settled.

Time flies, and soon it will be January.The snow in all the courtyards of the Ye family has been cleared, and everyone is enjoying the rare free time in the house.Just when everyone thought that the following days would be the same, God did not let them go.

In the middle of the night, the leopard let out a long howl, and Ye Mingze's dream was interrupted. He shivered and sat up reflexively.He didn't have time to think, and he didn't know what happened to the leopard, but his intuition was not a good thing.

"Jingzhi, get up quickly!" Ye Mingze quickly dressed and got out of bed, and even called Jiang Jingzhi up, and took out several quilts from the cabinet and put them on the kang. Everything he did now was based on intuition, and he didn't know why To do this, "You put on your clothes, stay on the kang and don't move, put the quilt around your body, I'll go outside to see what's going on."

The howling of the leopard woke up the entire Yejia Village, and most people were at a loss.Although some clever people don't know what's going on, they can't make mistakes when they get up and wait quietly. At most, it's just a waste of time.

Ye Mingze seemed to have entered a state of emptiness, blocked everything outside, mechanically knocked on the door and called out his second and third younger brothers, ordered them to wake up everyone in the Ye family, and sent fourth-level sentries to notify the four relatives With the village head and patriarch, the rest of Yejia Village can only ask the village head and patriarch to notify them separately.Before leaving, Ye Mingze told the two younger brothers to wear more clothes, and not to think that the clothes are too thick and cumbersome.

Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang were puzzled when they heard this, but they didn't delay at all. They called Uncle Zhang and together they issued orders to each courtyard.Yes, it is an order, there is no reason, but it must be carried out.The two brothers had never seen Ye Mingze in such a state. Although Ye Mingze did not give a specific reason, the two firmly believed that something very important must have happened, and even the instructions were so brief.

There was so much commotion outside that every house in the Ye family had people go out to check.As soon as they heard Ye Mingze's order, everyone got up quickly, whether it was an old man or a child, the order was carried out very thoroughly.Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is naturally right to obey the orders of the master.

The four-level sentinels who were assigned to the task completely let go of their five senses, raised their speed to the limit, and galloped at high speed.Ye Family Village is not very big, and with their speed, the notification was completed very quickly.For the next time, they stayed in their respective yards, quietly waiting for the notice from above.

After Ye Mingze gave instructions to his two younger brothers, he went straight to the room where Leopard was.Sensing Ye Mingze's approach, the leopard stretched out a front paw and scratched hard at the door.After Ye Mingze opened the door, the leopard pointed at the pile of fur with its front paws, and rushed towards the yard.

Ye Mingze didn't understand why, but Leopard's intentions were understood.He grabbed a few furs and followed the leopard out.The leopard crossed the yard, found a place in the backyard of Ye's house and stopped still, motioning Ye Mingze to spread the leather on the ground.Ye Mingze was confused, Leopard stayed up in the middle of the night and ran to the backyard to settle down. All he could think of was Dilong turning over.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingze put down the fur in his hand and hurried back.The sky is very dark, there is no moonlight and even the stars are very dim, and it is really impossible to see your fingers.

Ye Mingze and the leopard were both very fast. When he finished everything and returned to the main courtyard of the Ye family, the time had only passed a minute or two.At this time, the main room was crowded with people, and most of the people in the main house were concentrated here.Ye Mingze didn't say hello to his family, he just picked up the oil lamp and went out, and asked someone to fetch hot water, he was useful.

When Ye Mingze went to the backyard just now, he listened carefully to the movements in the barn. Apart from being a little more restless than usual, there was nothing unusual about it.He could only turn to check the well in the yard.The temperature is too low now, and the upper part of the well is frozen.After the heavy snowfall, the Ye family rarely used the well.This time he has to check the well, and he can make a better response when he has a conclusion.

Ye Mingze lifted the well cover, and sure enough, a layer of ice had formed on the top of the well water. Fortunately, the ice layer was not thick, and hot water was continuously poured into the well, and then smashed the ice floes with a clean stick, and the first bucket of water was brought up soon. .The Ye family didn't know what Ye Mingze's intention was, but they all silently supported him in their own way.

The first bucket of water is the upper well water, which looks the same as before, very clear.Because of his preconceived ideas, Ye Mingze always felt that the leopard could not be aimless in doing this. He carefully discerned, and finally saw something strange. There are some particles in the well water, which are very small, and it is impossible to detect them without paying special attention.These conditions were too weak to fully support his conclusions, so he fetched a few more buckets of water, starting from the shallower to the deeper.

At first, everyone didn't feel it, and just watched by the well.After a few buckets of water, no matter how nervous people are, they will notice something strange.The deeper the water is, the more turbid it becomes. When the last bucket of water is reached, it looks like a piece of soil falling into a clear bucket.This is still a sample diluted with clean well water from the upper layer, and the actual situation will only be worse than this.

"Mingxi Mingjiang, you both asked the fourth-level sentinel to inform our relatives and the village chief, and said that the dragon might turn around tonight. The relatives adjusted a few tents for them according to the number of people. Don't gather people in one place and stay in your own house. Leave them alone in the yard or in other open places. If you don’t want a tent, just take it back, our house doesn’t have enough tents.” Ye Mingze’s voice was cold, his words and deeds were overly rational, rarely mixed with personal feelings, "Uncle Zhang, tents and other field supplies, you and the yard stewards should deal with them as soon as possible. Others pack up some belongings and gather in the backyard according to the yard they belong to."

After Ye Mingze finished ordering one by one, he began to sort out the necessary supplies.Time is running out, and staying on the warm kang is the choice he wants to make the most, but he can't. This is a response when he is caught off guard. Now that he has a choice, he will definitely not choose to stay in the house.

It's freezing outside, and now it's the coldest time of the day, so you must bring more cold-proof bedding, especially when Jiang Jingzhi is in a special period, these are even more indispensable.Stoves and the like are also necessary, but they cannot be used before the earthquake.Secure them even when not in use to prevent them from injuring someone.Eating firewood and the like is indispensable, the colder it is, the more adequate it is.

Now the house is burning with kangs, and it is very dangerous during an earthquake. If a fire burns food and clothes, it will be like crying without tears, so the kangs must be extinguished.

After Ye Mingze dealt with the most important issue, he didn't care about the others.Jiang Jingzhi, Ye's father and Ye's mother had long been placed in the place where the leopard was, and the other Ye's family members did all the necessary packing.Ye Mingze had already taken precautions. He only brought some food and necessary heating items, and ignored the rest.

Ye Mingze gave the order to die, and the servants of the Ye family could only forcibly leave their respective houses with reluctant eyes and go to the backyard to gather.

From the time the leopard roared, to when the Ye family notified the villagers, and when everyone in the Ye family stepped out of the yard, it took only twenty minutes, but it seemed like they had experienced a war.When the last member of the Ye family stepped out of the courtyard and everyone heaved a sigh of relief, an earthquake struck without warning.Those who were close to the courtyard wall ran towards the open space with all their strength.

When Ye Mingze arranged the manpower at the beginning, he deliberately left some spiritual and physical sentinels to guide the rear, and he himself was naturally included in this case.The ground was undulating at the beginning, and the sentinel guide on the side dragged and dragged people to the backyard.

The vibration was not violent at first.After the first wave passed, the Ye family's house was safe and sound.After waiting quietly for a few minutes, even Ye Mingze wondered if the earthquake had passed.

The backyard of the Ye family is a vegetable field, with a size of more than ten acres, and now there are dozens of tents scattered here and there.There were hundreds of people, but no one made any noise.We have suffered enough disasters, but this is the first earthquake.This is different from the previous situation. The turn of the earth dragon can be said to be devastating.The magnitude of the earthquake is not large and there is room for discussion. When it reaches a certain level, the earthquake can destroy all human facilities in an instant.

This time the Ye family was able to prepare in advance, and the leopard was a great help.There are nearly 30 people in the Ye family's main house, divided into three tents.The eleven members of Ye Mingze's family were allotted the largest tent, and Leopard also stayed in this tent.Most of the tents that Ye Mingze bought last time were relatively large tents, and the tents that could only accommodate two or three people were given to him by the store as an extra.This time he took out one and set up a small tent in the corner of the big tent, which happened to separate a private space for him and Jiang Jingzhi.The other small tents were all divided up, and no one else in the Ye family wanted them.

There were about a dozen people and a leopard crowded in the big tent, and the space everyone could get was very small.But it's just right now, it's warmer if you squeeze a little.It was freezing cold outside, and there was no fire to keep warm. The temperature was so low that no one dared to sleep with their eyes closed.The Ye family brought enough quilts, and even the clothes covered with quilts couldn't keep out the cold.

Jiang Jingzhi held the copper basin with red-hot charcoal fire in it, and he didn't feel cold.It's a pity that there are not many such copper basins in the entire Ye family, and the master may not have one, let alone the servants of the Ye family.The lid of the copper basin is tightly covered and reinforced with iron wire, so it is not worried about being overturned.

Just when everyone thought the earthquake had passed, there was a rumbling sound, and several children were frightened and cried loudly.Before the adults had time to comfort them, they felt that the ground was undulating so badly that people couldn't stand at all.Some people who were standing fell down one after another. Fortunately, the entire tent was covered with quilts, so a fall would not cause any problems.

Before the person who fell had time to adjust his posture, the sound of the house collapsing came from his ears again, from far and near, occasionally mixed with some unknown sounds.Just as people were still in shock, a red glow illuminated everyone's tents.The Ye family members were at a loss, not knowing what the light was about.

Ye Mingze lay on the bed with Jiang Jingzhi in his arms. After the light dimmed a little, he put on his robe, stood on the killer whale, opened the big tent and glanced at the place where the light was.According to his knowledge base, this should be a volcanic eruption, but it is far away from them. I don't know why the light can travel so far.Since coming to Daxing Dynasty, many things can no longer be explained by the scientific knowledge he knows.All the unknowns, he can only bear silently.

Ye Mingze shook off these rambling thoughts and looked back at his house.Half of the houses that were just two years old were destroyed in this wave of earthquakes.The Ye family's house was already strong in the Daxing Dynasty, and if the Ye family is still like this, the damage in other places will only be more serious.Ye Mingze was very helpless. The achievements he had made through hard work were instantly destroyed by the earthquake. No one would rejoice at this moment.

During the time Ye Mingze went out to check, the earthquake was still going on, and more and more houses in Ye's family were destroyed.Because the line of sight was blocked by the wall, Ye Mingze didn't know the situation of Ye Family Village.It's just that you don't need to think about it, the damage to the other houses in Yejia Village will only be worse.

This wave of earthquake lasted for several minutes, and after it passed, only one-third of the Ye family's houses were still standing on the ground.All the houses in the Ye family are almost the same in terms of sturdiness, whether they can be preserved completely depends on luck in the end.Once the load bearing walls are breached, the house is basically declared over.Naturally, the Ye family's main house was not spared, the west wing was the most damaged, followed by the east wing, the main building was the best preserved, almost half of the houses were intact.
