Survive through the ancient apocalypse
Chapter 54 Human Heart
Jiang understood what San'er said, but she didn't expect her heart to be so dark.Ask yourself, which one of the things their Ye family did was wrong to them, why would someone attribute all the faults to them?She couldn't figure it out, everyone was neighbors and fellow villagers, how could they become enemies and jealousy when they met each other in the blink of an eye?
"My son's father, why do you think anyone would think so? It must be made up by the elders!" Jiang couldn't accept it for a while, and sought Ye Zewu's support.
Ye Zewu remained silent the whole time, and the expression on his face changed like a palette.He doesn't want to speculate on the neighbors and folks with malice, but he believes that his son is by no means alarmist. He has seen the incidents of quarreling with a knife. Now that half of the people in Yejia Village have lost their lives, it is not wrong to transfer the resentment to them. impossible.As the saying goes, people's words are terrible, if they don't do it well, they will talk about others and spread all bad things on their heads. Then they will be very passive and must suppress things within a safe range.
Don't think that honest people are easy to bully, once they become ruthless, they will not give way to those ruthless people.As Ye Zewu is an elder, it is more appropriate for him to deal with the villagers of the Ye family.He, Ye Zewen and Ye Shu three brothers and sisters took their respective families, spread the Ye family's positive remarks without any trace, and resolutely prevented those who hated the Ye family from joining forces to expand the scope of resentment.
The effect of doing so is obvious. After all, most of the Ye family villagers have benefited a lot from the Ye family. Not surprisingly, they are all towards them.Let's just say this time, if it wasn't for the Ye family, they still don't know how many people they would have to reduce.Even those who did not heed the warning, not all of them were dark-hearted, and most of them still knew that it was themselves who caused all these irreversible regrets, not to mention how many more people survived because of the bed frame.When they really think of it, they can only be grateful.Ye Mingze sent special personnel to keep an eye on the few with extreme thoughts, and they would never let go of any changes.
When something like this happened, the Ye family had to be accompanied by sentinel guides when they walked in the village, which made them very unhappy about those disasters.How to maintain the relationship with other families in Yejia Village is a long-term matter, which cannot be accomplished overnight.After a few days of sulking, Jiang let go of his worries and stopped looking for trouble.
It rained for several days in a row, sometimes big and sometimes small, but it never stopped.The water in the courtyard of the Ye family's main house could no longer be drained through the gutters, and the situation was similar in the other dozen or so courtyards.The clean snow water has long been used up, and the Ye family can only use well water.Ye Mingze was afraid that the well water would not be very clean, so he took some alum from the doctor as a water purifier.The Ye family is usually not allowed to drink raw water, and each time they have to settle for at least half a day before boiling.
The accumulated water in the yard could not be drained out, and the snow outside also contributed.After the snow meets water, before it freezes, some snow will inevitably turn into water. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as worse.
The accumulation of water in winter is much more troublesome than the accumulation of snow. Now Ye Mingze and the others have to stand on their own spiritual body if they want to go out.Leather boots are not completely waterproof, and even if the shoes are waterproof, they will not abuse themselves. The rain is icy cold, and no one likes to put their feet in the ice.
The drizzle was drizzling, but the beautiful scenery in the rain was not appreciated. I don't know whether it is the tragedy of human beings or the unfeelingness of God.While people were looking forward to it day and night, the rain stopped abruptly.The rain stopped, but the sun seemed to be separated by a layer of film. The visibility was like a foggy weather, and only dim light could be seen.
The earthquake did not cause a tsunami, which is a blessing among misfortunes.Ye Mingze carefully calculated the distance between Yejia Village and the beach. Even if a tsunami hits next time, Yejia Village should not be affected.
Most of the north is relatively dry and cold, and it has been raining for several days, and most people are not used to it.Finally, the rain stopped, but it was no different from a cloudy day. People hid on the warm kang in despair.Although there are many people on the kang, the soft quilt makes people feel nostalgic.
The days that followed finally returned to normal Maodong life. Except for half of the people who were busy with the funeral, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.The funeral was originally supposed to be grand, but now that the situation is special, it would be nice if everyone could have a thin wooden coffin.Human relations can be avoided even if they can be avoided. Every family is not rich in food. After a funeral is over, the rations will definitely be short-lived. Now that everyone is tight on their belts, how can they care about these things? It is considered that people close to them can come to help Enough to give them face.
After a few days of feeding, Ye Mingze's frostbitten hands have healed up a lot.During the day it was a rare time for him to relax, and at night he had to worry about it, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would turn over again, and he couldn't sleep peacefully for several days.Maybe it was because the environment was too comfortable, Ye Mingze sat on the head of the bed, nodded his head, and finally found a comfortable seat by himself, nestled on Jiang Jingzhi's shoulder, and slept soundly.
"Ha, Jingzhi, why didn't you call me?" Ye Mingze woke up naturally after sleeping, stretched his waist, his face was reddish, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Who made you worry about so many things? I see that you sleep so soundly. How can you bear to disturb people's dreams? You see, you are so energetic now, and your previous fatigue has almost disappeared. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Jiang Jingzhi's rare joked.
"You can't sleep well at night, why do you look more energetic than me?" These days, Ye Mingze is really busy, and he needs to make up his mind on everything, and he doesn't spend much time in his own room during the day , Some ignore Jiang Jingzhi.
"I can't sleep well at night. I have to catch up on sleep during the day. I don't know if it's because of psychological reasons. I sleep more peacefully with oil lamps on."
"I'm just saying, you are more lethargic than me, and you don't have enough sleep time at night, so that's why!" Jiang Jingzhi basically didn't go out of the room these days, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to the issue of tidiness.Ye Mingze looked at the strands of hair hanging on his shoulders, and smoothed them back behind his ears.Men who work hard are indeed extremely attractive, Ye Mingze realized the truth of this question by accident.
"Nothing else to do today?" Jiang Jingzhi put down the medical book, staring at him with dark eyes.
"Well, the work has finally come to an end, and other things can only be busy after the spring. Several sections of the wall have collapsed. Just in case, children and the like are forbidden to go out of their yards. Anyway, it is winter, and everyone is used to it. Everyone agrees with both hands and feet, and everyone is eager to stick to the kang every day." Ye Mingze expressed his understanding of this, and he himself did not want to wander in the ice and snow.
After laughing a lot, the two went about their business again.Ye Mingze suddenly wanted to eat mung bean sprouts, and now he was free, so he took action immediately.The main room is now a kitchen and utility room. Ye Mingze asked the cook for some mung beans, took some empty pots and gauze, and started tinkering outside his room.
The leopard was sleeping outside. It opened its round eyes and looked at Ye Mingze curiously.Ye Mingze was so engrossed in his dream of garlic and bean sprouts that he didn't pay attention to the leopard at all.
Ye Mingze's modern mother can grow mung bean sprouts, and he has also learned how to do it himself, so he is quite experienced.This time without trying, he was sure he could handle it himself.The preparatory work has been done, and all that remains is to sprinkle some water at intervals, and when the mung bean sprouts grow to more than an inch long, they are almost ready to eat.
After finishing all this work, Ye Mingze turned back to the kang, and when Jiang Jingzhi put down the medical books, he let go of his five senses and started his daily exercise routine.Jiang Jingzhi propped up the barrier at the right time to filter unnecessary information for Ye Mingze.This time Ye Mingze's target was the Ziqing Mountains. The moment his five senses were opened up, the roars of unknown beasts in the mountains were sent into his brain one after another.
Animals are getting more and more brutal.The thickness of the snow in the mountains and forests is only a little thinner than that of the plains, and all kinds of beasts that usually hide in the caves at this time are very active at this moment.The creatures in the mountains and forests have been eliminated by nature for a year, and all those who have survived until now are not easy to mess with.Humans are also evolving, but the degree of evolution is still not as good as other creatures.There is no way to do this. Whoever makes human beings have a high spiritual intelligence has this unparalleled advantage. If the physical condition is so good, then other creatures will really have no way out.
Among the five senses, hearing is the most commonly used. Vision is only suitable for plains and seas. The effect is not so good at other times. Whoever makes the sight unable to penetrate the real object, a tree or a wall can isolate all visual disturbances
Ye Mingze's spiritual world has always been open to Jiang Jingzhi, except that the secret of crossing is closely guarded.Communication is mutual, Jiang Jingzhi gets some information from Ye Mingze, and will also feed back some information to Ye Mingze.Over time, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.
During this period of time, Yejia Village was very peaceful, as if the earthquake never came here.Within a few days, the mung bean sprouts sent by Ye Mingze grew plump, white and tender.On the same day, a bowl of garlic bean sprouts appeared on the Ye family's dining table.After everyone ate it, they all felt that the taste was good, simple and affordable.The recipe for sprouting bean sprouts was quickly passed on to the heads of the kitchens, and everyone in the Ye family added another dish.When everyone was busy filling their stomachs, the Ye family could still have new dishes, and the servants became more determined to follow the master of the Ye family as always.
Ye Mingze didn't expect that a new dish he made unintentionally could actually enhance the cohesion of everyone in the Ye family, and it would not be in vain for him to work hard alone.
Since the last heavy rain, there have been no disasters.The Ye family has been eating and drinking in the house for more than two months, and the tiredness accumulated from years of hard work can no longer be seen on their faces.
During the period, the leopard gave birth to two cubs, one of which was black and white, and the other was black all over.Ye Mingze named them Xiaobai and Xiaohei.Because of the winter, leopards don't have enough milk.Ye Mingze knew that leopards were carnivores, but he didn't know if such a small leopard could eat meat.He asked the veterinarian, but did not get a clear answer, so he could only feed some rice porridge with minced meat like a human one-year-old baby.Leopard cubs are not picky eaters. Ye Mingze was worried at first, who would have thought that their digestive function is very good, and the two cubs will eat whatever he feeds.After the food problem is solved, the big leopard will take the others with him, so Ye Mingze doesn't need to worry about it.
In the past two months, the sky was still bright, but it was still impossible to see the real body of the sun.Volcanic ash is scattered in the sky, blocking solar radiation and heat.Compared with December, the temperature in February does not increase by a few degrees.The low temperature for three months has rapidly consumed everyone's firewood stock.
Ye Mingze had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't count this kind of situation.Seeing that there is not much firewood left at home, it will last until the end of March at most.It was no use worrying about firewood all the time, and he had to figure out how to get some coal for the house.There is no rush in advance, and we will make plans when the weather warms up.
I originally thought that I should be able to go to the county at this time, but who would have thought that the temperature had not picked up for a long time, and the original plan would be postponed indefinitely.The earthquake killed less than half of the Ye family's livestock, including cattle, horses and donkeys. The strength of their feet to work in the field and pull carts suddenly decreased, which had a great impact on spring sowing.Most of the remaining animals are treated as treasures by the breeders, and there are many places to borrow them, so it's strange if they are not treasured.
It's March in the blink of an eye, and the temperature has risen a few degrees like a turtle crawling.After entering March, many families in Yejia Village began to lack firewood.The snow has not melted, and no one can freely enter and leave the mountain forest except for the large spiritual body that can be used as a mount.Every household in Yejia Village is short of firewood, it's just a question of how much is lacking.At this time, they can only cooperate with each other. Each family sends out all qualified sentinel guides, and a group of people hula-la headed to the back mountain closest to Yejia Village.
It's not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and everyone is very used to it.It's just that this year's weather is particularly harsh, and fewer people can enter the mountain.Due to the small number of people, it is necessary to go up the mountain every few days.They cut down all dead trees, as long as the snow on the surface is dried, they can be used as firewood, which saves a lot of effort.
Snow accumulation not only hinders human activities, but also reduces the frequency of actions of beasts.Due to the thick snow cover, there are basically no living things near the back mountain, which makes the firewood cutting operation of Yejia Villagers very smooth.
After mid-March, the Ye family also joined the firewood cutting queue.Seeing that the snow in the Ye family's fields has not melted for a long time, Ye Mingze plans to clear the snow manually if it is still the same as before in late April at the latest.
At the end of April, Ye Mingze was wearing a fur coat, standing on the edge of his field, with a gloomy expression.May is about to enter, the highest temperature during the day is only ten degrees below zero, and it is as low as twenty degrees below zero at night.This temperature is not suitable for planting at all.
If things go on like this, it is estimated that the temperature will be suitable for crop growth in June and July.It’s just that this year is different from last year. Last year, the temperature was very high, and late planting could be harvested before winter, but this year it is not possible. The temperature is too low. If you wait until June and July to plant again, you will not be able to harvest before the snow falls.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingze made a decisive decision and organized people to start clearing the snow.Vegetable seeds have been sown in the backyard of the Ye family, and the seeds are covered with straw, but the seedlings have not emerged for a long time, and it seems that the temperature is still not enough.This is not going to work, so Ye Mingze began to assign people to build a sunshade like last year, but this year there are some modifications, and the sides of the shed are tightly covered.
When the light is strong during the day, the roof of the shed is lifted, and when the sun goes down, it is covered again.After a few days, finally some results.Vegetable seedlings emerged one after another in the vegetable field, sparsely, and the emergence rate was not high.The Ye family were very happy when they saw it. As long as the seedlings can emerge, there is always hope.There are few seedlings, just add more seeds.
The original awning frame in the field is still there, which saves the Ye family a lot of labor.Every time a field is cleared, after the ground is dried and plowed deeply, the seeds are planted.Some seeds need to grow seedlings, and the Ye family has reserved a special place for seedlings. When the seedlings are suitable for transplanting, they will be transplanted to the field immediately.
In the midst of the busy Ye family, the matter of going to the county town to visit Mr. Ye was finally on the agenda.When the Ye family made all preparations and set off in a mighty way, they were not happy for a long time when they were blocked by a landslide, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.This place is several miles away from Yejia Village. Because the mountain road is not straight, it cannot be seen from the arrow tower at the south gate of Yejia Village.
The fourth-level sentinel who was serving as an outpost jumped out of the carriage, climbed up the mountain on the left, and looked ahead, dumbfounded.As far as he can see, the road is completely blocked, and he doesn't know how far away, because the mountain road turns at the end of his sight, and he needs to go farther to see it.
The sentinel told Ye Mingze what he saw. The three brothers and sisters of Ye Zewen were as quiet as death. It seemed that this trip came to an end.The section of the road seen by the light sentinel did not know that it would be the year of the monkey until the year of the monkey was cleared.What's more, the rocks on both sides have been loosened, so it's unclear whether they can be cleaned.
In order to reassure the hearts of the elders, Ye Mingze took his hands across the mountains to make the final decision.The road congestion is very serious. From Yejia Village to Yangshan County, it is nearly [-] kilometers in total, and nearly [-] kilometers of mountain roads are blocked.Moreover, the exit of the mountain road is very steep. Originally, the peaks on both sides of that area were not steep, but an earthquake changed the terrain. Now the peaks on both sides are only a little better than cliffs.If you want to go to the county seat, you can only continue walking along the mountain peaks on both sides.Going back and forth like this is time-consuming and laborious.
Ye Mingze called everyone to stop, did not go any further, and started to turn back on the spot.The landslide area is not very dangerous. If you cross the mountains, you can't enter it without preparation.In addition to taking the mountain road, you can also take the sea road by boat.It's just that the sea hasn't thawed yet, boats can't sail, and they have to pass through other villages, Ye Mingze doesn't know what to do.God knows what's going on outside now, it would be too bad if the boat capsized in the gutter.
It took a lot of time for this trip, and Ye Mingze conveyed his thoughts to the three brothers and sisters of Ye Zewu.He still felt that when the weather got warmer, it would be safer to take the mountain road than the sea road.
Everyone was excitedly preparing to enter the county seat, who would have thought that it would end like this in the end.After the village head of Yejia Village found out, he also sighed greatly. Now, Yejia Village has really become a remote mountain village.In the past, it was very convenient to communicate with other counties and towns, but now it is necessary to travel across mountains and rivers to communicate with each other, which is more than difficult.
Since this road is blocked, the Ye family can only devote themselves to various constructions.The snow cover is gradually decreasing, and the greenery in the fields is getting stronger day by day.In mid-May, the daytime temperature was close to zero, and all production activities began to go on as usual.House reconstruction and fence repairs have all been put on the agenda.
The sea ice began to gradually thin until it turned into pieces of ice floes.Due to the elevation of the beach by five meters, the pier needs to be rebuilt.One thing after another, there is really no time to stop.The Ye family is very busy, and the people of the Ye family village will not be idle either.They were even more short of food. This time, the Ye family didn't need to take the initiative to say hello, and every household followed the Ye family to work hard.
I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune, but the only river that flows through the plain where Yejia Village is located has stopped flowing not long after the ice melted.This situation is too abnormal, the Ye family cooperated with other villagers and walked along the source of the river.After spending most of the day, they found that the river was diverted due to the earthquake.There are only a few people in Yejia Village, and they want to change the river course to the original one. The project is too huge, and everyone has no idea what to do.
It's really a joy to come and a disappointment to return.After returning home, the exhausted people fell asleep with disappointed expressions.
Now Ye Family Village is almost isolated from the outside world, everything depends on themselves.The Ye family has well diggers, and Ye Mingze asked them to dig a well every [-] mu of land, preferably a pressurized well.After he described it in detail to the masters, he let them figure it out by themselves.If the pressurized well can be researched, everyone will be happy. If not, it will just cost more manpower to lift the water manually.
Fortunately, the sun is not strong this year, and there is no drought, otherwise he really doesn't know how to deal with it.In early June, the fishing boat officially set sail.Fresh seafood flowed into Ye's house continuously.During this period of time, the Ye family was very busy, and Ye Mingze couldn't spare manpower to go to the nearby fishing village to find out the truth.He didn't let anyone take any risks, and they all fished safely near his own sea area.
Although there are whales hunting in the depths of the nearby waters, large fish are rare, but those small fish cannot be underestimated.With a large number of low-level fish being promoted, there are hundreds or even thousands of fish in a net, and the struggle is very strong. Several high-level sentinels work together to catch them.Once at sea, the crew members were so tired that they lay there and didn't want to move.
Seeing this, Ye Mingze added another team.Two fishing boats, a total of four teams, work one day and rest one day.On the day of their rotation, they only need to do some light work, which can be regarded as a vacation in disguise.There is a shortage of manpower now, and it is impossible to be truly idle.
Due to too many projects that need to be built, the manpower is very scattered, and the progress of the house reconstruction is very slow.The main house of the Ye family was the first to be completed, with a main building, east and west wing rooms and two inverted rooms, a total of more than twenty houses, standing brand new there.The newly built houses all have stone walls and wooden roofs, and they have a special flavor from a distance.
The main house of the Ye family planned three courtyards, but unfortunately the last two courtyards have not been completed, and they are used as vegetable plots.The wall of the well in the main house has been reinforced, making it much safer to use.Now that there is no river water, this well water has to be cherished and used.
Many families in Yejia Village do not have wells, and now that the river is cut off, well diggers are in high demand.Not only do we need water for eating and drinking at home, but the crops in the fields are inseparable from it.The well digger is busy every day, and he can't wait to solve all the problems at once.It's just that the hope is very good, but now they have to take turns one by one.Some of them are busy this summer.
Considering the severe drought last year, the rice planting area in Yejia Village has been greatly reduced this year.Families with more fields only plant one or two acres on the bank of the river. After all, rice soup and rice paste can feed newborns. In case the mother's milk is insufficient, these can be used to save lives.
Everyone had a good plan, but unfortunately the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the river was diverted, which made all previous plans in vain.
The Ye family planted five acres of rice, which is insignificant compared to their nearly two thousand acres of land.The Ye family had no foresight, so naturally they had the same plan as the villagers, and the rice fields were naturally arranged on the bank of the river.After discovering that the river was cut off, Ye Mingze asked someone to drill a deep well in the rice field. Due to the high water demand of rice, this well was only responsible for the surrounding ten acres of fields.
Due to the low temperature this year, even though various measures have been taken, the emergence rate has not been high. Ye Jiaguang replenished the seedlings several times.All in all, the seeds spent this year are not much less than last year.The cost of seeds has risen, and even if the harvest is the same, the actual income has become less.This is not good news for everyone.
The fields need labor, and the unfinished wall of Yejia Village also needs manpower.The people of Yejia Village were very lucky. When they first went to the mountain to check the source of the river, the wild animals were not active, and the plants did not really recover. The group basically did not encounter any difficult problems, and they walked back and forth easily.
Now, it's really hard to say.A few days ago, people in the village went to the mountain to collect dead branches and leaves. Because the back mountain has been patronized all year round, especially in the past two years, the amount of firewood has been huge, and there are not many trees that can be cut down in the back mountain. It is impossible to cut down the entire back mountain!Therefore, the villagers went deeper.Who would have thought that when a young man was cutting a dead tree, he would be swept into the air by the big tree next to him.Everyone was frightened and stupid, but fortunately, some people were calm and asked the young man to use a machete to chop off the branches surrounding him, and others also stepped forward to help.The young man was lucky. Before he was strangled to death, he almost cut off a branch and fell from mid-air, only hurting his leg.
After this incident, the villagers became very cautious when going into the mountains. Not only did they have to guard against snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals, but even the plants had to be extra careful.
Ye Mingze had seen the branch that the young man picked up, it was as high as level [-], but the young man was only a level [-] sentinel.It seems that plants that have undergone secondary mutation evolution, like animals, do not have the complete level suppression function of primary mutant plants.Fortunately, there are not many secondary mutated plants. As time goes on, there will be more and more secondary mutated plants. By then, the mountains and forests will truly become forbidden places for humans.Those who have no ability will never have the chance to set foot in the mountains.
This is really bad news. Human survival is inseparable from firewood. Where does firewood come from?Crop stalks can be used to boil water for cooking, and firewood is the minimum requirement for kang heating in winter.To use firewood, one must go to the mountains to cut down forests. This is simply the rhythm of risking life.
"My son's father, why do you think anyone would think so? It must be made up by the elders!" Jiang couldn't accept it for a while, and sought Ye Zewu's support.
Ye Zewu remained silent the whole time, and the expression on his face changed like a palette.He doesn't want to speculate on the neighbors and folks with malice, but he believes that his son is by no means alarmist. He has seen the incidents of quarreling with a knife. Now that half of the people in Yejia Village have lost their lives, it is not wrong to transfer the resentment to them. impossible.As the saying goes, people's words are terrible, if they don't do it well, they will talk about others and spread all bad things on their heads.

Not surprisingly, they are all towards them.Let's just say this time, if it wasn't for the Ye family, they still don't know how many people they would have to reduce.Even those who did not heed the warning, not all of them were dark-hearted, and most of them still knew that it was themselves who caused all these irreversible regrets, not to mention how many more people survived because of the bed frame.When they really think of it, they can only be grateful.Ye Mingze sent special personnel to keep an eye on the few with extreme thoughts, and they would never let go of any changes.
When something like this happened, the Ye family had to be accompanied by sentinel guides when they walked in the village, which made them very unhappy about those disasters.How to maintain the relationship with other families in Yejia Village is a long-term matter, which cannot be accomplished overnight.After a few days of sulking, Jiang let go of his worries and stopped looking for trouble.
It rained for several days in a row, sometimes big and sometimes small, but it never stopped.The water in the courtyard of the Ye family's main house could no longer be drained through the gutters, and the situation was similar in the other dozen or so courtyards.The clean snow water has long been used up, and the Ye family can only use well water.Ye Mingze was afraid that the well water would not be very clean, so he took some alum from the doctor as a water purifier.The Ye family is usually not allowed to drink raw water, and each time they have to settle for at least half a day before boiling.
The accumulated water in the yard could not be drained out, and the snow outside also contributed.After the snow meets water, before it freezes, some snow will inevitably turn into water. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as worse.
The accumulation of water in winter is much more troublesome than the accumulation of snow. Now Ye Mingze and the others have to stand on their own spiritual body if they want to go out.Leather boots are not completely waterproof, and even if the shoes are waterproof, they will not abuse themselves.

I don't know whether it is the tragedy of human beings or the unfeelingness of God.While people were looking forward to it day and night, the rain stopped abruptly.The rain stopped, but the sun seemed to be separated by a layer of film.

It is considered that people close to them can come to help Enough to give them face.
After a few days of feeding, Ye Mingze's frostbitten hands have healed up a lot.During the day it was a rare time for him to relax, and at night he had to worry about it, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would turn over again, and he couldn't sleep peacefully for several days.Maybe it was because the environment was too comfortable, Ye Mingze sat on the head of the bed, nodded his head, and finally found a comfortable seat by himself, nestled on Jiang Jingzhi's shoulder, and slept soundly.

Jiang Jingzhi basically didn't go out of the room these days, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to the issue of tidiness.Ye Mingze looked at the strands of hair hanging on his shoulders, and smoothed them back behind his ears.Men who work hard are indeed extremely attractive, Ye Mingze realized the truth of this question by accident.
"Nothing else to do today?" Jiang Jingzhi put down the medical book, staring at him with dark eyes.
"Well, the work has finally come to an end, and other things can only be busy after the spring. Several sections of the wall have collapsed. Just in case, children and the like are forbidden to go out of their yards. Anyway, it is winter, and everyone is used to it. Everyone agrees with both hands and feet, and everyone is eager to stick to the kang every day." Ye Mingze expressed his understanding of this, and he himself did not want to wander in the ice and snow.
After laughing a lot, the two went about their business again.Ye Mingze suddenly wanted to eat mung bean sprouts, and now he was free, so he took action immediately.The main room is now a kitchen and utility room. Ye Mingze asked the cook for some mung beans, took some empty pots and gauze, and started tinkering outside his room.
The leopard was sleeping outside. It opened its round eyes and looked at Ye Mingze curiously.Ye Mingze was so engrossed in his dream of garlic and bean sprouts that he didn't pay attention to the leopard at all.
Ye Mingze's modern mother can grow mung bean sprouts, and he has also learned how to do it himself, so he is quite experienced.This time without trying, he was sure he could handle it himself.The preparatory work has been done, and all that remains is to sprinkle some water at intervals, and when the mung bean sprouts grow to more than an inch long, they are almost ready to eat.
After finishing all this work, Ye Mingze turned back to the kang, and when Jiang Jingzhi put down the medical books, he let go of his five senses and started his daily exercise routine.Jiang Jingzhi propped up the barrier at the right time to filter unnecessary information for Ye Mingze.This time Ye Mingze's target was the Ziqing Mountains. The moment his five senses were opened up, the roars of unknown beasts in the mountains were sent into his brain one after another.
Animals are getting more and more brutal.The thickness of the snow in the mountains and forests is only a little thinner than that of the plains, and all kinds of beasts that usually hide in the caves at this time are very active at this moment.The creatures in the mountains and forests have been eliminated by nature for a year, and all those who have survived until now are not easy to mess with.Humans are also evolving, but the degree of evolution is still not as good as other creatures.There is no way to do this. Whoever makes human beings have a high spiritual intelligence has this unparalleled advantage. If the physical condition is so good, then other creatures will really have no way out.
Among the five senses, hearing is the most commonly used. Vision is only suitable for plains and seas. The effect is not so good at other times. Whoever makes the sight unable to penetrate the real object, a tree or a wall can isolate all visual disturbances
Ye Mingze's spiritual world has always been open to Jiang Jingzhi, except that the secret of crossing is closely guarded.Communication is mutual, Jiang Jingzhi gets some information from Ye Mingze, and will also feed back some information to Ye Mingze.Over time, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.
During this period of time, Yejia Village was very peaceful, as if the earthquake never came here.Within a few days, the mung bean sprouts sent by Ye Mingze grew plump, white and tender.On the same day, a bowl of garlic bean sprouts appeared on the Ye family's dining table.After everyone ate it, they all felt that the taste was good, simple and affordable.The recipe for sprouting bean sprouts was quickly passed on to the heads of the kitchens, and everyone in the Ye family added another dish.When everyone was busy filling their stomachs, the Ye family could still have new dishes, and the servants became more determined to follow the master of the Ye family as always.
Ye Mingze didn't expect that a new dish he made unintentionally could actually enhance the cohesion of everyone in the Ye family, and it would not be in vain for him to work hard alone.
Since the last heavy rain, there have been no disasters.The Ye family has been eating and drinking in the house for more than two months, and the tiredness accumulated from years of hard work can no longer be seen on their faces.
During the period, the leopard gave birth to two cubs, one of which was black and white, and the other was black all over.Ye Mingze named them Xiaobai and Xiaohei.Because of the winter, leopards don't have enough milk.Ye Mingze knew that leopards were carnivores, but he didn't know if such a small leopard could eat meat.He asked the veterinarian, but did not get a clear answer, so he could only feed some rice porridge with minced meat like a human one-year-old baby.Leopard cubs are not picky eaters. Ye Mingze was worried at first, who would have thought that their digestive function is very good, and the two cubs will eat whatever he feeds.After the food problem is solved, the big leopard will take the others with him, so Ye Mingze doesn't need to worry about it.
In the past two months, the sky was still bright, but it was still impossible to see the real body of the sun.Volcanic ash is scattered in the sky, blocking solar radiation and heat.Compared with December, the temperature in February does not increase by a few degrees.The low temperature for three months has rapidly consumed everyone's firewood stock.
Ye Mingze had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't count this kind of situation.Seeing that there is not much firewood left at home, it will last until the end of March at most.It was no use worrying about firewood all the time, and he had to figure out how to get some coal for the house.There is no rush in advance, and we will make plans when the weather warms up.
I originally thought that I should be able to go to the county at this time, but who would have thought that the temperature had not picked up for a long time, and the original plan would be postponed indefinitely.The earthquake killed less than half of the Ye family's livestock, including cattle, horses and donkeys. The strength of their feet to work in the field and pull carts suddenly decreased, which had a great impact on spring sowing.Most of the remaining animals are treated as treasures by the breeders, and there are many places to borrow them, so it's strange if they are not treasured.
It's March in the blink of an eye, and the temperature has risen a few degrees like a turtle crawling.After entering March, many families in Yejia Village began to lack firewood.The snow has not melted, and no one can freely enter and leave the mountain forest except for the large spiritual body that can be used as a mount.Every household in Yejia Village is short of firewood, it's just a question of how much is lacking.At this time, they can only cooperate with each other. Each family sends out all qualified sentinel guides, and a group of people hula-la headed to the back mountain closest to Yejia Village.
It's not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and everyone is very used to it.It's just that this year's weather is particularly harsh, and fewer people can enter the mountain.Due to the small number of people, it is necessary to go up the mountain every few days.They cut down all dead trees, as long as the snow on the surface is dried, they can be used as firewood, which saves a lot of effort.
Snow accumulation not only hinders human activities, but also reduces the frequency of actions of beasts.Due to the thick snow cover, there are basically no living things near the back mountain, which makes the firewood cutting operation of Yejia Villagers very smooth.
After mid-March, the Ye family also joined the firewood cutting queue.Seeing that the snow in the Ye family's fields has not melted for a long time, Ye Mingze plans to clear the snow manually if it is still the same as before in late April at the latest.
At the end of April, Ye Mingze was wearing a fur coat, standing on the edge of his field, with a gloomy expression.May is about to enter, the highest temperature during the day is only ten degrees below zero, and it is as low as twenty degrees below zero at night.This temperature is not suitable for planting at all.
If things go on like this, it is estimated that the temperature will be suitable for crop growth in June and July.It’s just that this year is different from last year. Last year, the temperature was very high, and late planting could be harvested before winter, but this year it is not possible. The temperature is too low. If you wait until June and July to plant again, you will not be able to harvest before the snow falls.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingze made a decisive decision and organized people to start clearing the snow.Vegetable seeds have been sown in the backyard of the Ye family, and the seeds are covered with straw, but the seedlings have not emerged for a long time, and it seems that the temperature is still not enough.This is not going to work, so Ye Mingze began to assign people to build a sunshade like last year, but this year there are some modifications, and the sides of the shed are tightly covered.
When the light is strong during the day, the roof of the shed is lifted, and when the sun goes down, it is covered again.After a few days, finally some results.Vegetable seedlings emerged one after another in the vegetable field, sparsely, and the emergence rate was not high.The Ye family were very happy when they saw it. As long as the seedlings can emerge, there is always hope.There are few seedlings, just add more seeds.
The original awning frame in the field is still there, which saves the Ye family a lot of labor.Every time a field is cleared, after the ground is dried and plowed deeply, the seeds are planted.Some seeds need to grow seedlings, and the Ye family has reserved a special place for seedlings. When the seedlings are suitable for transplanting, they will be transplanted to the field immediately.
In the midst of the busy Ye family, the matter of going to the county town to visit Mr. Ye was finally on the agenda.When the Ye family made all preparations and set off in a mighty way, they were not happy for a long time when they were blocked by a landslide, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.This place is several miles away from Yejia Village. Because the mountain road is not straight, it cannot be seen from the arrow tower at the south gate of Yejia Village.
The fourth-level sentinel who was serving as an outpost jumped out of the carriage, climbed up the mountain on the left, and looked ahead, dumbfounded.As far as he can see, the road is completely blocked, and he doesn't know how far away, because the mountain road turns at the end of his sight, and he needs to go farther to see it.
The sentinel told Ye Mingze what he saw. The three brothers and sisters of Ye Zewen were as quiet as death. It seemed that this trip came to an end.The section of the road seen by the light sentinel did not know that it would be the year of the monkey until the year of the monkey was cleared.What's more, the rocks on both sides have been loosened, so it's unclear whether they can be cleaned.
In order to reassure the hearts of the elders, Ye Mingze took his hands across the mountains to make the final decision.The road congestion is very serious. From Yejia Village to Yangshan County, it is nearly [-] kilometers in total, and nearly [-] kilometers of mountain roads are blocked.Moreover, the exit of the mountain road is very steep. Originally, the peaks on both sides of that area were not steep, but an earthquake changed the terrain. Now the peaks on both sides are only a little better than cliffs.If you want to go to the county seat, you can only continue walking along the mountain peaks on both sides.Going back and forth like this is time-consuming and laborious.
Ye Mingze called everyone to stop, did not go any further, and started to turn back on the spot.The landslide area is not very dangerous. If you cross the mountains, you can't enter it without preparation.In addition to taking the mountain road, you can also take the sea road by boat.It's just that the sea hasn't thawed yet, boats can't sail, and they have to pass through other villages, Ye Mingze doesn't know what to do.God knows what's going on outside now, it would be too bad if the boat capsized in the gutter.
It took a lot of time for this trip, and Ye Mingze conveyed his thoughts to the three brothers and sisters of Ye Zewu.He still felt that when the weather got warmer, it would be safer to take the mountain road than the sea road.
Everyone was excitedly preparing to enter the county seat, who would have thought that it would end like this in the end.After the village head of Yejia Village found out, he also sighed greatly. Now, Yejia Village has really become a remote mountain village.In the past, it was very convenient to communicate with other counties and towns, but now it is necessary to travel across mountains and rivers to communicate with each other, which is more than difficult.
Since this road is blocked, the Ye family can only devote themselves to various constructions.The snow cover is gradually decreasing, and the greenery in the fields is getting stronger day by day.In mid-May, the daytime temperature was close to zero, and all production activities began to go on as usual.House reconstruction and fence repairs have all been put on the agenda.
The sea ice began to gradually thin until it turned into pieces of ice floes.Due to the elevation of the beach by five meters, the pier needs to be rebuilt.One thing after another, there is really no time to stop.The Ye family is very busy, and the people of the Ye family village will not be idle either.They were even more short of food. This time, the Ye family didn't need to take the initiative to say hello, and every household followed the Ye family to work hard.
I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune, but the only river that flows through the plain where Yejia Village is located has stopped flowing not long after the ice melted.This situation is too abnormal, the Ye family cooperated with other villagers and walked along the source of the river.After spending most of the day, they found that the river was diverted due to the earthquake.There are only a few people in Yejia Village, and they want to change the river course to the original one. The project is too huge, and everyone has no idea what to do.
It's really a joy to come and a disappointment to return.After returning home, the exhausted people fell asleep with disappointed expressions.
Now Ye Family Village is almost isolated from the outside world, everything depends on themselves.The Ye family has well diggers, and Ye Mingze asked them to dig a well every [-] mu of land, preferably a pressurized well.After he described it in detail to the masters, he let them figure it out by themselves.If the pressurized well can be researched, everyone will be happy. If not, it will just cost more manpower to lift the water manually.
Fortunately, the sun is not strong this year, and there is no drought, otherwise he really doesn't know how to deal with it.In early June, the fishing boat officially set sail.Fresh seafood flowed into Ye's house continuously.During this period of time, the Ye family was very busy, and Ye Mingze couldn't spare manpower to go to the nearby fishing village to find out the truth.He didn't let anyone take any risks, and they all fished safely near his own sea area.
Although there are whales hunting in the depths of the nearby waters, large fish are rare, but those small fish cannot be underestimated.With a large number of low-level fish being promoted, there are hundreds or even thousands of fish in a net, and the struggle is very strong. Several high-level sentinels work together to catch them.Once at sea, the crew members were so tired that they lay there and didn't want to move.
Seeing this, Ye Mingze added another team.Two fishing boats, a total of four teams, work one day and rest one day.On the day of their rotation, they only need to do some light work, which can be regarded as a vacation in disguise.There is a shortage of manpower now, and it is impossible to be truly idle.
Due to too many projects that need to be built, the manpower is very scattered, and the progress of the house reconstruction is very slow.The main house of the Ye family was the first to be completed, with a main building, east and west wing rooms and two inverted rooms, a total of more than twenty houses, standing brand new there.The newly built houses all have stone walls and wooden roofs, and they have a special flavor from a distance.
The main house of the Ye family planned three courtyards, but unfortunately the last two courtyards have not been completed, and they are used as vegetable plots.The wall of the well in the main house has been reinforced, making it much safer to use.Now that there is no river water, this well water has to be cherished and used.
Many families in Yejia Village do not have wells, and now that the river is cut off, well diggers are in high demand.Not only do we need water for eating and drinking at home, but the crops in the fields are inseparable from it.The well digger is busy every day, and he can't wait to solve all the problems at once.It's just that the hope is very good, but now they have to take turns one by one.Some of them are busy this summer.
Considering the severe drought last year, the rice planting area in Yejia Village has been greatly reduced this year.Families with more fields only plant one or two acres on the bank of the river. After all, rice soup and rice paste can feed newborns. In case the mother's milk is insufficient, these can be used to save lives.
Everyone had a good plan, but unfortunately the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the river was diverted, which made all previous plans in vain.
The Ye family planted five acres of rice, which is insignificant compared to their nearly two thousand acres of land.The Ye family had no foresight, so naturally they had the same plan as the villagers, and the rice fields were naturally arranged on the bank of the river.After discovering that the river was cut off, Ye Mingze asked someone to drill a deep well in the rice field. Due to the high water demand of rice, this well was only responsible for the surrounding ten acres of fields.
Due to the low temperature this year, even though various measures have been taken, the emergence rate has not been high. Ye Jiaguang replenished the seedlings several times.All in all, the seeds spent this year are not much less than last year.The cost of seeds has risen, and even if the harvest is the same, the actual income has become less.This is not good news for everyone.
The fields need labor, and the unfinished wall of Yejia Village also needs manpower.The people of Yejia Village were very lucky. When they first went to the mountain to check the source of the river, the wild animals were not active, and the plants did not really recover. The group basically did not encounter any difficult problems, and they walked back and forth easily.
Now, it's really hard to say.A few days ago, people in the village went to the mountain to collect dead branches and leaves. Because the back mountain has been patronized all year round, especially in the past two years, the amount of firewood has been huge, and there are not many trees that can be cut down in the back mountain. It is impossible to cut down the entire back mountain!Therefore, the villagers went deeper.Who would have thought that when a young man was cutting a dead tree, he would be swept into the air by the big tree next to him.Everyone was frightened and stupid, but fortunately, some people were calm and asked the young man to use a machete to chop off the branches surrounding him, and others also stepped forward to help.The young man was lucky. Before he was strangled to death, he almost cut off a branch and fell from mid-air, only hurting his leg.
After this incident, the villagers became very cautious when going into the mountains. Not only did they have to guard against snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals, but even the plants had to be extra careful.
Ye Mingze had seen the branch that the young man picked up, it was as high as level [-], but the young man was only a level [-] sentinel.It seems that plants that have undergone secondary mutation evolution, like animals, do not have the complete level suppression function of primary mutant plants.Fortunately, there are not many secondary mutated plants. As time goes on, there will be more and more secondary mutated plants. By then, the mountains and forests will truly become forbidden places for humans.Those who have no ability will never have the chance to set foot in the mountains.
This is really bad news. Human survival is inseparable from firewood. Where does firewood come from?Crop stalks can be used to boil water for cooking, and firewood is the minimum requirement for kang heating in winter.To use firewood, one must go to the mountains to cut down forests. This is simply the rhythm of risking life.
