Survive through the ancient apocalypse
Chapter 56 Abilities
After waiting for a while, when the appointed time approached, two groups of people from Yejia Village arrived one after another.All the villagers were smiling, thinking that they had gained a lot from this trip, and the melancholy accumulated along the way disappeared at this moment.People may feel emotionally and sympathize with those families who are suffering, but compared with their own family, others are insignificant.
Along the way, the villagers of the Ye family laughed and laughed, as if they had returned to the Taiping era.At this moment, they are in the mood to talk about things, and the sufferings of the past are temporarily left behind.
The villagers of the Ye family were not traveling fast, and they were wobbling, and the brigade arrived at the suspension bridge.People passed by in an orderly manner, and when the last person passed by, the suspension bridge was quietly erected in the air with the efforts of many sentinels.
After passing the suspension bridge, the mountain road after that is basically not dangerous.The fast carriage goes first, and the ox cart naturally falls behind.Although the danger is not high, there are still some people guarding the ox cart team.This is also a helpless thing, the mountain road is very safe, I am afraid that there will be powerful wild beasts jumping out from the forests on both sides, and they will be harmed if they are close to the door of the house, that is really not worthwhile.
"Brother and the others are back, hurry up, open the door!" Ye Mingxi stood on the arrow tower to the east of the south gate, staring at the corner of the mountain road for a moment, seeing the familiar carriage appearing in sight, his mood was very excited.
The same is true for Ye Mingjiang, but his emotions are not as exposed as Ye Mingxi.He dragged his second brother and quickly walked down the city wall, helping the gatekeepers to open the two gates together.
The wooden door inside was okay, and the sentries pushed it easily.The outer stone gate is more labor-intensive, and it takes at least 1 minute to open each time.
When the south gate was opened, the convoy was so close that even ordinary people could see it clearly.The villagers of the Ye family did not stop at the south gate. They were eager to share the joy of the harvest with their families. After saying goodbye to their companions one by one, they went straight home.
Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang got into Ye Mingze's carriage, looking at the various condiments in the carriage, he also looked happy.
"Brother, everyone was still sad when they went, why are you so happy after entering the county?" Ye Mingxi was very puzzled as he watched the villagers of the Ye family sweep away their previous worries.
"When I went to the city this time, I didn't expect seafood to be very valuable. Whether it's fresh or dried, the price is at least twice as high as expected. Isn't this exchange for more supplies and extra gains, can everyone not be happy?" Ye Mingze himself also smiled. Originally, he only planned to exchange for some cloth and condiments, but he didn't expect to be able to exchange for food.
Before the three brothers chatted for a while, the carriage drove into the gate of Ye's house.There will be a special person in charge of the subsequent matters, Ye Mingze let go of it, and the three of them went directly to the main house of the Ye family.
After the goods were put into storage, Jiang held the inventory book and frowned slightly. She couldn't figure it out. It seemed that the goods exchanged in the city this time were much more than before.Jiang is not a slow person, so if you have any questions, you can ask: "Mingze, the dried seafood that was brought out has not been cleared, how come the exchange is not less than before?"
"Mom, you've been busy in the warehouse. I forgot to tell you that the price of seafood this time is at least twice that of last year. Naturally, there will be more things to replace." After the weather warmed up, the Ye family worked in the main room when they had nothing to do.Ye Mingze was thinking about the things that the Ye family needed to focus on next, and when he heard Jiang's question, he came back to answer seriously.
"Oh, that's it! Then why didn't you finish all the goods you brought, did no one buy them?" The goods that Ye's family brought to the county were not only seafood for work, but also a lot of dried vegetables and pickles. There are surplus.
"I only took out some of the seafood because I didn't want to attract people's attention. The rest were just as my mother thought. Few people bought them, and they were not sold out after a long time. When I go to the county next time, I will bring less vegetables." Ye Mingze didn't expect this to be the case. The consumption capacity of the county has dropped significantly, and it is still difficult to obtain dried seafood. The price they sell is relatively reasonable, and many people buy it just to try it out.Vegetables are different, although now is the time when they are green and yellow, most people are not so poor that they don't even have radishes and cabbages.Now it's a time of famine, and people save as much as they can, so naturally not many people patronize his dried vegetables.
"Okay, it's okay, you can continue to do your work." Jiang was originally illiterate, and since she took care of the warehouse, she learned a few words from her eldest son every day.Up to now, she has no problem looking at the warehouse ledger.
After entering July, the last section of the wall on the east side of the field in Yejia Village was completed.The other areas that collapsed during the earthquake were repaired even earlier.So far, Yejia Village has been shrouded by a wall as high as ten meters, and the safety factor has been raised to an unprecedented height.When the villagers go out to work, they don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals if they don't pay attention.
Beasts are not allowed in for a while, and the only thing people worry about is the birds.Since the end of last year, Alien Beast has become very aggressive.It's just that Yejia Village has never been attacked by birds, and most people are not alert.The head of Ye Family Village has been sitting in this position for a long time, so he naturally thinks more comprehensively.He looked at the large birds circling high in the sky, feeling deeply worried.
After much deliberation, and after discussing with the head of the Ye family and a few others, the village head decided to organize two patrol teams to protect the villagers of the Ye family who were working in the fields.The weapons that the patrol team is equipped with are either bows or crossbows, and only these can attack the overlord in the air.After the parents learned about the situation, they told their children to be careful of the birds in the sky when they were playing outside, and to take shelter nearby if the situation was not right.
The temperature in July last year was as high as 35 degrees, but this year is just the opposite. The highest temperature during the day is only about [-] degrees.July and August are the hottest months of the year, and such low temperatures cause crops to grow slowly.The Ye family only removed the roof of the awning, leaving the thatch around.In doing so, the surface temperature is only in the [-]s, barely meeting the growth temperature of crops.
There is no drought this year, but because the river has stopped flowing and the number of wells is insufficient, water is still relatively scarce.The well-drilling masters are constantly turning around every day, their busy feet do not touch the ground, and the completion of the goal is still far away.It's useless for the people of Yejia Village to get angry in a hurry. The well-drilling masters have worked hard enough, and they rushed too fast. If a few fell ill, wouldn't the loss be even greater?
Although protected by the fence, it is difficult for land beasts to harass the villagers, but it is difficult to avoid those that are inside the fence.Following the appearance of monsters in the mountains, forests and oceans, the bugs in the fields also had a second mutation.
Fortunately, there are very few secondary mutations, at least the ratio of mutations is much lower than that of mountain forest ocean monsters.Due to the small size of the insects and rats, the damage of their abilities is not high. After several rounds of raids in Yejia Village, the field monsters are almost extinct.I believe that in time, there will be no more monsters in the Ye Family Village.
After the successive appearance of Warcraft and Mozhi, supernatural beings finally appeared in human beings.All supernatural personnel, without exception, are sentinel guides, the proportion is very low, less than one-tenth of the total population.The Ye family has a large number of sentinel guides, and nearly 150 of them have supernatural powers.The main reason is that when the Ye family awakened, more than 200 people were third-level sentinel guides. On average, one out of every two awakened people in the first batch had supernatural powers.
There are various types of supernatural powers, the most common are the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, followed by ice, wind, thunder and lightning, and rare attributes such as space healing account for a very small proportion.
According to the situation in Ye Family Village, each person has only one kind of ability, and there has never been a special case where a person has more than two kinds of abilities.What Ye Mingze possesses is the ability of space, and the level of the ability is level one.He can only send out the space blade now, and has no other skills.Regardless of the low level of the space blade, its lethality is not small.The first-level space blade skimmed through the fourth-level heterophytes, and could cut at least an inch deep, which was much sharper than an axe.
There are only three people in the Ye family who have supernatural powers. Besides Ye Mingze, the other two are Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingjiang.Jiang Jingzhi has a wood-type ability, and his first-level skill is to give birth to plants.Ye Mingjiang has a gold-type ability. The first-level skill is to add a layer of new material to the weapon during battle, making the weapon extremely sharp and strong. After the ability is used up, this layer of material will automatically dissipate.
For the villagers, the wood-type water-type and earth-type abilities are the most practical.The wood system can give birth to crops, and the water polo generated by the water system just solves the urgent needs of the villagers. What about the soil system? Cultivated land can save a lot of trouble.It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel.Level [-] powers don't last long.Let's just talk about the ability of the water system. The water polo released by a person in a day can water a piece of land at most.For the villagers, this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.But something is better than nothing, and if you can irrigate more land, you can get more harvest.
After having the ability, the members of the Ye family re-divided the work.The earth-type abilities and the water-type abilities cooperate with each other, and the water-type abilities are responsible for surveying places with abundant water resources.After finding a good position, under the guidance of the well diggers, the earth-type supernatural powers will be used. When the power is exhausted, the well-digging masters will be on top.After the ability is restored, the ability will be released by the earth-type ability user.Such a cycle goes on and on, and the efficiency of well digging is greatly improved.Originally, it would take a few days to dig a well, but with the addition of people with supernatural abilities, the time was shortened by a full third.
People with wood-type abilities have high plant affinity, and it is easier to find crop growth needs.With them, it works better than experienced old farmers.Whether it's crops lacking water, lack of fertilizer, or growing bugs, people with wood-type abilities can easily tell the difference.
Not counting the Ye family, there are nearly 2000 people in the Ye family village, and there are less than 100 people with supernatural powers.There are more than [-] households in Yejia Village, and on average, each household has only one or two supernatural beings.There are many types of abilities, and the villagers can only cooperate with each other.There is a water-type supernatural person in your family, and a soil-type supernatural person from his family. Today he will dig a well for your house, and tomorrow he will dig a well for his house.Mutual benefit, sincere cooperation, greatly improve the efficiency of work.As for those who do not have suitable abilities, they must either pay more labor, or pay some wages to hire someone to do the work.As long as it is not a person who steals, rapes and plays tricks, judging from the current situation of Yejiacun, it may not be very good, at least there is no need to worry about starvation.
Three months after Xiaobai and Xiaohei, the leopard took the two cubs back to its original wooden house.Xiaobai and Xiaohei are beasts after all, living in comfort for a long time will obliterate their wildness, and it will be difficult to return to the mountains and forests to live independently in the future.The leopard is quite human, so it naturally knows what it should do. Before Ye Mingze gave a signal, it began to teach the two cubs how to hunt.On the day of leaving, Ye Mingze was curious about how the leopard taught the cubs to hunt, so he joined in the fun.
Leopards have a short growth period, although they are only three months old, Xiaobai and Xiaohei are already more than 30 centimeters tall, only slightly smaller than the local dogs in the village.Leopards seem to be born to climb trees. Before the big leopard gestured a few times, Xiaobai and Xiaohei climbed very neatly.When Xiaobai saw a hare, he was very curious, arched his body, and approached it quietly.
The rabbit was unlucky, Xiaobai was at a disadvantage, the rabbit could not smell the natural enemy, and still ate the fresh and tender weeds on the mountain leisurely.
Seeing Xiaobai's appearance, Xiaohei also followed suit.The two little leopards moved their fat bodies slowly in the grass, looking ridiculous.This was the first time the cubs tried hunting, and the big leopard didn't intervene, watching them from a distance.
In fact, big leopards really think too much, they don't have the concept of hunting yet.Xiaobai and Xiaohei have never seen a hare before, they think it is very interesting, and they just want to get close to it.The sound of the hare gnawing on the grass covered up the sound of Xiaobai Xiaohei walking in the grass.It wasn't until the two cubs were very close to the rabbit that the hare became alert.
The rabbit stopped chewing and turned his head around.The grass and trees in the mountains are lush, and the little white and the little black are so small that the hare didn't find them for a while.Xiaobai and Xiaohei got closer and closer, and the rabbit became more and more impatient, but he couldn't find the enemy, and he was not in the mood to continue eating.When the distance is close to a certain extent, the hare runs away.But it was really unlucky, it chose the wrong direction, and crashed into Xiaobai's arms.The rabbit's weight was not much lighter than Xiaobai's. After the two collided, they were both dizzy and stood still in a daze.
Seeing Xiao Hei, he stepped forward excitedly, as if he had got a novel toy.One front paw pressed the hare, and the other front paw moved back and forth.The rabbit was already dizzy, but this time he couldn't find his way even after Xiao Hei tossed it over and over again.After Xiaobai came back to his senses, he also participated in the play.This wild rabbit is really pitiful, being played as a sandbag by the two leopard cubs.When Xiaobai and Xiaohei got tired of playing, the rabbit was only half-breathed, and lay on the grass in a daze.It is estimated that the rabbit did not burn incense when it went out, so it fell into the hands of two inexperienced leopard cubs, and was played for a long time without dying.
Seeing that Xiaobai and Xiaohei no longer teased the rabbit, the big leopard stepped forward to end the hare's miserable life with a paw.After Xiaobai and Xiaohei were a month old, Ye Mingze intentionally fed them sashimi.If they were older, he would occasionally feed them some raw pork.Although most of them eat cooked food, they will not reject raw meat.
The big leopard bit open the hare's neck and began to suck the blood.It took a sip and signaled Xiaobai and Xiaohei to do the same.The smell of blood was very strong, Xiaobai and Xiaohei were not used to it, so they curled their lips and refused to drink it.The big leopard demonstrated a few more times, and the two cubs reluctantly started licking.The rabbit didn't have much blood, so the big leopard drank a few more mouthfuls, and was quickly finished by Xiaobai and Xiaohei.
The teeth of the two cubs have not fully grown, and the rabbit skin is difficult to tear.For the big leopard, this is just a trivial matter.It stretched out its sharp claws, and with a random stroke, fresh rabbit meat appeared in front of it.This time there is no need for the big leopard to demonstrate. Xiaobai and Xiaohei have seen similar pork and know it is delicious. The two cubs squeezed each other and started to eat.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were well fed by Ye Mingze, their bodies were chubby, and it would be silly to ignore the fact that they were leopards.The women and children of the Ye family liked them very much, but because they were leopards, no one dared to provoke them, otherwise, they would be harassed many times.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were full before they came out, and now they are not very hungry at all.The two didn't eat a few mouthfuls, so they left it alone.The big leopard has a good appetite, and it wraps up the rest of the rabbit meat.Thanks to this successful hunting by mistake, Xiaobai and Xiaohei were enlightened.Whenever they encounter small prey, they try to go up and hunt.
Unfortunately, they were too small after all, and there was no successful hunting after that.Until one time Xiaobai became anxious, and suddenly sprayed fire on the pheasant.The pheasant's feathers are lit, and the movement speed is greatly reduced.With the help of Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai successfully knocked down the pheasant.The two leopard cubs raised their front paws and proudly showed the result to the big leopard.As a result, extreme joy gave birth to sorrow, and the pheasant narrowly escaped from the leopard's claws.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were stunned as they watched the prey they had obtained getting farther and farther away from him.Ye Mingze looked at the two amusing leopard cubs, he smiled and endured the pain, his shoulders trembled.The big leopard turned his head, really unwilling to admit that these two were his descendants.It is so wise and wise, how could it give birth to such two cubs?It must be their father's bad genes.The big leopard quickly found an excuse for himself.
Xiaobai Xiaohei knew that he had done something stupid, and he looked eager to try, and he was bound to wash away his shame on the same day.The two are very energetic, and they have not been tired after so long.Seeing their serious expressions, Ye Mingze felt embarrassed to laugh at them again, and slowly put away his smile.
This time they learned how to behave, and when they met suitable prey, they approached quietly.When reaching a certain distance, Xiaobai sprayed a mouthful of fire first, and Xiaohei surrounded him from the front.If you are lucky, the prey is injured and slowed down, and Xiao Hei waits for the opportunity to move from the side, with a success rate of at least [-]%.This time, the two did not make the mistake just now. When showing off to the big leopard and Ye Mingze, they did not forget to hold down the prey under their paws.
When Xiaobai and Xiaohei got tired, they also caught five or six pheasants and hares.Pheasant is not on the common diet of leopards, with little meat, and it is very likely to eat a mouthful of feathers.The two leopard cubs caught what they saw, and the big leopard did not correct them. After they tried it themselves, they would have a choice.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ye Mingze started to drive home with two pheasants.Xiaobai and Xiaohei saw each other and followed suit.Ye Mingze carried them back to the big leopard, and when he turned around, the two followed.It happened several times in a row, Ye Mingze had no choice but to think about it, let them go back to the forest during the day, and sleep at Ye's house at night.
Ye Mingze told the big leopard what he meant, and it didn't object.In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a beautiful scene: Ye Mingze was walking in front, two little leopards were playing and fighting at his feet, and finally the big leopard was leading the way.
Nowadays, people in Yejia Village go to sea every day. The east gate of the village, the stone gate is open during the day, and only the wooden gate is closed.The gatekeeper of the Ye family saw Ye Mingze walking towards them from a distance with three leopards alone, and opened the wooden door in advance with a tacit understanding.
Since the leopards often have to let the wind out in the future, it will be a little troublesome to go through the east gate.I remembered that I used the rope ladder at the beginning and climbed over the wall of my own courtyard to get in and out, so I might as well do the same in the future.Well, it's such a happy decision!Ye Mingze made the decision without the consent of the three leopards. He is really not a qualified partner, haha!
Seeing that the leopards had returned to the Ye family's main house, the rest of the Ye family were very curious. What if they agreed to stay in the mountains from now on?The two little ones, Li Xue and Li Zhen, have always liked little leopards and wanted to pet them all the time.It's just that the adults are so strict that they have never had a chance to do anything.
The leopards also recognize people, except for Ye Mingze, who only let Jiang Jingzhi touch him occasionally, the others don't even give him a look.Because of this, the adults dare not let the two children approach them casually.
Ye Mingze handed over the pheasant and hare to the cook.Naturally, the pheasant was served on Ye's family table.The hares belong to the leopards, two are boiled, and one is cut into pieces and eaten raw.Eat some raw food now and then, so they don't lose their wildness.
After dinner, Ye Mingze's room.
"Tell me, do the villagers give up eating because of choking? In the edge of the mountain forest, although there are not many prey and the danger is low, why is no one hunting?" Jiang Jingzhi basically stays at the main house of the Ye family these days, but the news is not blocked. .
"I'm not scared yet. There are both monsters and magic plants. The mountains and forests are actually quite dangerous. But you are right, as long as you are careful, the danger on the edge of the mountains and forests is really not that great. This is similar to the past, nothing different Before the change, only hunters dared to go up the mountain to hunt in Yejia Village. Even if they were greedy for meat, not many people had the courage to go into the mountain. If you really want to eat, you can go to the meat stall to cut some pork to satisfy your hunger." Ye Mingze just arrived During the Great Xing Dynasty, Yejia Village was like this. "Besides, now there are whales watching over the waters near Yejia Village, and the villagers have seafood to eat, so they are not so greedy."
"Well, what you said makes sense. It's really thanks to the killer whale. If it weren't for it, Yejia Village would hardly even be able to eat a sea fish." Other sea areas are full of dangers, and Jiang Jingzhi learned this news from Ye Mingze.
"Haha, I was lucky. Think about it, I let the leopard go, and it saved us from the earthquake. I saved Orca No. [-], and it gave me a safe sea. Thinking about it, I feel intoxicated .Besides, it’s also a spiritual body, and I haven’t seen other spiritual bodies have such a big effect. Look, our killer whale will automatically find backup for me. Is there anyone in Yejia Village who can be so favored by God?”
"It's not just your luck. With you in Yejia Village, how many disasters have been saved in the whole village? Let's just say that in the last earthquake, the death toll was calculated proportionally, which was less than a quarter of the outside. It’s hard to imagine, what would Yejiacun look like without you?” What Jiang Jingzhi didn’t say was that he also entrusted Ye Mingze’s blessing.Now he eats delicious food and drinks, and there are people serving him. Although he can't compare with the life of the Hou Mansion, but after a horizontal comparison, you will find that Jiang Jingzhi's current life is already happy enough.
"Hehe, actually I didn't do anything. I just made some money and bought the right people. If it wasn't for your support, how would I have dared to spend all my money?" On the verge of running out of money.Including his parents, no one in the family objected, which has to be said to be Ye Mingze's great luck.
Ye Mingze bought so many servants. Although the villagers didn't know the exact number at the time, there were a lot of rumors.The rest of the Ye family acted as if they hadn't heard it, and they still strongly supported Ye Mingze's actions.In fact, it's not that the family members don't worry or hesitate. The Ye family is an authentic farmer. Before, they didn't even think about it. One day, their family would be able to live a good life with servants to take care of them.They just think that Ye Mingze is the only one in the family who is promising, and if the family wants to prosper, they can only rely on him.If Ye Mingze's actions fail, others will have no way to improve their family's living conditions.Just like that, the Ye family became a rope.Up to now, as long as it is Ye Mingze's instructions, the Ye family has almost reached the point of blindly following.
"Looking at your ugly appearance, are you still embarrassed?" The two have been together for three years, how could Jiang Jingzhi not know Ye Mingze's temperament?
"Hey, by the way, how about the pots of tomatoes you are in charge of?"
"Here, it's on the window sill. You can see for yourself." Jiang Jingzhi didn't participate in the field work because of his pregnancy. He raised three pots of tomatoes in his room in his free time.
Ye Mingze opened the wooden window, and with the faint light, a pleasing red flashed into his eyes instantly.Now that it has just entered August, these tomatoes have only been planted for a month, and many fruits have begun to turn red. Each one is as big as a fist, and it will not be long before they can be harvested.
Ye Mingze praised Jiang Jingzhi without hesitation.
"I just take care of it in my spare time. If I really want to devote myself wholeheartedly, I guess the growth time will be shorter." Regardless of Jiang Jingzhi staying in the Ye family's main house all day, he has a lot of things to do.
"Well. There are more than a dozen wood-type supernatural beings in our family. I asked them to be in charge of a field each, and each of them was responsible for different crops. I have to see how much the growth period of the crops can be shortened with their care. Wait After the specific values are known, we can operate according to the current situation in the future." The food problem has always been the top priority of the Ye family. This year's weather is cold, and the food production will definitely not be so high. .With them, Ye Mingze felt much at ease.
"Okay, it's getting late, you're heavy, go to bed early!" After the two finished washing, Ye Mingze blew out the oil lamp, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, only the two of them were breathing lightly.
Along the way, the villagers of the Ye family laughed and laughed, as if they had returned to the Taiping era.At this moment, they are in the mood to talk about things, and the sufferings of the past are temporarily left behind.
The villagers of the Ye family were not traveling fast, and they were wobbling, and the brigade arrived at the suspension bridge.People passed by in an orderly manner, and when the last person passed by, the suspension bridge was quietly erected in the air with the efforts of many sentinels.
After passing the suspension bridge, the mountain road after that is basically not dangerous.The fast carriage goes first, and the ox cart naturally falls behind.Although the danger is not high, there are still some people guarding the ox cart team.This is also a helpless thing, the mountain road is very safe, I am afraid that there will be powerful wild beasts jumping out from the forests on both sides, and they will be harmed if they are close to the door of the house, that is really not worthwhile.
"Brother and the others are back, hurry up, open the door!" Ye Mingxi stood on the arrow tower to the east of the south gate, staring at the corner of the mountain road for a moment, seeing the familiar carriage appearing in sight, his mood was very excited.
The same is true for Ye Mingjiang, but his emotions are not as exposed as Ye Mingxi.He dragged his second brother and quickly walked down the city wall, helping the gatekeepers to open the two gates together.
The wooden door inside was okay, and the sentries pushed it easily.The outer stone gate is more labor-intensive, and it takes at least 1 minute to open each time.

They were eager to share the joy of the harvest with their families. After saying goodbye to their companions one by one, they went straight home.
Ye Mingxi and Ye Mingjiang got into Ye Mingze's carriage, looking at the various condiments in the carriage, he also looked happy.
"Brother, everyone was still sad when they went, why are you so happy after entering the county?" Ye Mingxi was very puzzled as he watched the villagers of the Ye family sweep away their previous worries.
"When I went to the city this time, I didn't expect seafood to be very valuable. Whether it's fresh or dried, the price is at least twice as high as expected. Isn't this exchange for more supplies and extra gains, can everyone not be happy?" Ye Mingze himself also smiled. Originally, he only planned to exchange for some cloth and condiments, but he didn't expect to be able to exchange for food.
Before the three brothers chatted for a while, the carriage drove into the gate of Ye's house.There will be a special person in charge of the subsequent matters, Ye Mingze let go of it, and the three of them went directly to the main house of the Ye family.

"Oh, that's it! Then why didn't you finish all the goods you brought, did no one buy them?" The goods that Ye's family brought to the county were not only seafood for work, but also a lot of dried vegetables and pickles. There are surplus.
"I only took out some of the seafood because I didn't want to attract people's attention. The rest were just as my mother thought. Few people bought them, and they were not sold out after a long time. When I go to the county next time, I will bring less vegetables." Ye Mingze didn't expect this to be the case. The consumption capacity of the county has dropped significantly, and it is still difficult to obtain dried seafood. The price they sell is relatively reasonable, and many people buy it just to try it out.Vegetables are different, although now is the time when they are green and yellow, most people are not so poor that they don't even have radishes and cabbages.Now it's a time of famine, and people save as much as they can, so naturally not many people patronize his dried vegetables.
"Okay, it's okay, you can continue to do your work." Jiang was originally illiterate, and since she took care of the warehouse, she learned a few words from her eldest son every day.Up to now, she has no problem looking at the warehouse ledger.
After entering July, the last section of the wall on the east side of the field in Yejia Village was completed.The other areas that collapsed during the earthquake were repaired even earlier.So far, Yejia Village has been shrouded by a wall as high as ten meters, and the safety factor has been raised to an unprecedented height.When the villagers go out to work, they don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals if they don't pay attention.

There is no drought this year, but because the river has stopped flowing and the number of wells is insufficient, water is still relatively scarce.The well-drilling masters are constantly turning around every day, their busy feet do not touch the ground, and the completion of the goal is still far away.It's useless for the people of Yejia Village to get angry in a hurry. The well-drilling masters have worked hard enough, and they rushed too fast. If a few fell ill, wouldn't the loss be even greater?
Although protected by the fence, it is difficult for land beasts to harass the villagers, but it is difficult to avoid those that are inside the fence.Following the appearance of monsters in the mountains, forests and oceans, the bugs in the fields also had a second mutation.
Fortunately, there are very few secondary mutations, at least the ratio of mutations is much lower than that of mountain forest ocean monsters.Due to the small size of the insects and rats, the damage of their abilities is not high. After several rounds of raids in Yejia Village, the field monsters are almost extinct.I believe that in time, there will be no more monsters in the Ye Family Village.
After the successive appearance of Warcraft and Mozhi, supernatural beings finally appeared in human beings.All supernatural personnel, without exception, are sentinel guides, the proportion is very low, less than one-tenth of the total population.The Ye family has a large number of sentinel guides, and nearly 150 of them have supernatural powers.The main reason is that when the Ye family awakened, more than 200 people were third-level sentinel guides. On average, one out of every two awakened people in the first batch had supernatural powers.
There are various types of supernatural powers, the most common are the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, followed by ice, wind, thunder and lightning, and rare attributes such as space healing account for a very small proportion.
According to the situation in Ye Family Village, each person has only one kind of ability, and there has never been a special case where a person has more than two kinds of abilities.What Ye Mingze possesses is the ability of space, and the level of the ability is level one.He can only send out the space blade now, and has no other skills.Regardless of the low level of the space blade, its lethality is not small.The first-level space blade skimmed through the fourth-level heterophytes, and could cut at least an inch deep, which was much sharper than an axe.
There are only three people in the Ye family who have supernatural powers. Besides Ye Mingze, the other two are Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingjiang.Jiang Jingzhi has a wood-type ability, and his first-level skill is to give birth to plants.Ye Mingjiang has a gold-type ability. The first-level skill is to add a layer of new material to the weapon during battle, making the weapon extremely sharp and strong. After the ability is used up, this layer of material will automatically dissipate.
For the villagers, the wood-type water-type and earth-type abilities are the most practical.The wood system can give birth to crops, and the water polo generated by the water system just solves the urgent needs of the villagers. What about the soil system? Cultivated land can save a lot of trouble.It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel.Level [-] powers don't last long.Let's just talk about the ability of the water system. The water polo released by a person in a day can water a piece of land at most.For the villagers, this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.But something is better than nothing, and if you can irrigate more land, you can get more harvest.
After having the ability, the members of the Ye family re-divided the work.The earth-type abilities and the water-type abilities cooperate with each other, and the water-type abilities are responsible for surveying places with abundant water resources.After finding a good position, under the guidance of the well diggers, the earth-type supernatural powers will be used. When the power is exhausted, the well-digging masters will be on top.After the ability is restored, the ability will be released by the earth-type ability user.Such a cycle goes on and on, and the efficiency of well digging is greatly improved.Originally, it would take a few days to dig a well, but with the addition of people with supernatural abilities, the time was shortened by a full third.
People with wood-type abilities have high plant affinity, and it is easier to find crop growth needs.With them, it works better than experienced old farmers.Whether it's crops lacking water, lack of fertilizer, or growing bugs, people with wood-type abilities can easily tell the difference.
Not counting the Ye family, there are nearly 2000 people in the Ye family village, and there are less than 100 people with supernatural powers.There are more than [-] households in Yejia Village, and on average, each household has only one or two supernatural beings.There are many types of abilities, and the villagers can only cooperate with each other.There is a water-type supernatural person in your family, and a soil-type supernatural person from his family. Today he will dig a well for your house, and tomorrow he will dig a well for his house.Mutual benefit, sincere cooperation, greatly improve the efficiency of work.As for those who do not have suitable abilities, they must either pay more labor, or pay some wages to hire someone to do the work.As long as it is not a person who steals, rapes and plays tricks, judging from the current situation of Yejiacun, it may not be very good, at least there is no need to worry about starvation.
Three months after Xiaobai and Xiaohei, the leopard took the two cubs back to its original wooden house.Xiaobai and Xiaohei are beasts after all, living in comfort for a long time will obliterate their wildness, and it will be difficult to return to the mountains and forests to live independently in the future.The leopard is quite human, so it naturally knows what it should do. Before Ye Mingze gave a signal, it began to teach the two cubs how to hunt.On the day of leaving, Ye Mingze was curious about how the leopard taught the cubs to hunt, so he joined in the fun.
Leopards have a short growth period, although they are only three months old, Xiaobai and Xiaohei are already more than 30 centimeters tall, only slightly smaller than the local dogs in the village.Leopards seem to be born to climb trees. Before the big leopard gestured a few times, Xiaobai and Xiaohei climbed very neatly.When Xiaobai saw a hare, he was very curious, arched his body, and approached it quietly.
The rabbit was unlucky, Xiaobai was at a disadvantage, the rabbit could not smell the natural enemy, and still ate the fresh and tender weeds on the mountain leisurely.
Seeing Xiaobai's appearance, Xiaohei also followed suit.The two little leopards moved their fat bodies slowly in the grass, looking ridiculous.This was the first time the cubs tried hunting, and the big leopard didn't intervene, watching them from a distance.
In fact, big leopards really think too much, they don't have the concept of hunting yet.Xiaobai and Xiaohei have never seen a hare before, they think it is very interesting, and they just want to get close to it.The sound of the hare gnawing on the grass covered up the sound of Xiaobai Xiaohei walking in the grass.It wasn't until the two cubs were very close to the rabbit that the hare became alert.
The rabbit stopped chewing and turned his head around.The grass and trees in the mountains are lush, and the little white and the little black are so small that the hare didn't find them for a while.Xiaobai and Xiaohei got closer and closer, and the rabbit became more and more impatient, but he couldn't find the enemy, and he was not in the mood to continue eating.When the distance is close to a certain extent, the hare runs away.But it was really unlucky, it chose the wrong direction, and crashed into Xiaobai's arms.The rabbit's weight was not much lighter than Xiaobai's. After the two collided, they were both dizzy and stood still in a daze.
Seeing Xiao Hei, he stepped forward excitedly, as if he had got a novel toy.One front paw pressed the hare, and the other front paw moved back and forth.The rabbit was already dizzy, but this time he couldn't find his way even after Xiao Hei tossed it over and over again.After Xiaobai came back to his senses, he also participated in the play.This wild rabbit is really pitiful, being played as a sandbag by the two leopard cubs.When Xiaobai and Xiaohei got tired of playing, the rabbit was only half-breathed, and lay on the grass in a daze.It is estimated that the rabbit did not burn incense when it went out, so it fell into the hands of two inexperienced leopard cubs, and was played for a long time without dying.
Seeing that Xiaobai and Xiaohei no longer teased the rabbit, the big leopard stepped forward to end the hare's miserable life with a paw.After Xiaobai and Xiaohei were a month old, Ye Mingze intentionally fed them sashimi.If they were older, he would occasionally feed them some raw pork.Although most of them eat cooked food, they will not reject raw meat.
The big leopard bit open the hare's neck and began to suck the blood.It took a sip and signaled Xiaobai and Xiaohei to do the same.The smell of blood was very strong, Xiaobai and Xiaohei were not used to it, so they curled their lips and refused to drink it.The big leopard demonstrated a few more times, and the two cubs reluctantly started licking.The rabbit didn't have much blood, so the big leopard drank a few more mouthfuls, and was quickly finished by Xiaobai and Xiaohei.
The teeth of the two cubs have not fully grown, and the rabbit skin is difficult to tear.For the big leopard, this is just a trivial matter.It stretched out its sharp claws, and with a random stroke, fresh rabbit meat appeared in front of it.This time there is no need for the big leopard to demonstrate. Xiaobai and Xiaohei have seen similar pork and know it is delicious. The two cubs squeezed each other and started to eat.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were well fed by Ye Mingze, their bodies were chubby, and it would be silly to ignore the fact that they were leopards.The women and children of the Ye family liked them very much, but because they were leopards, no one dared to provoke them, otherwise, they would be harassed many times.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were full before they came out, and now they are not very hungry at all.The two didn't eat a few mouthfuls, so they left it alone.The big leopard has a good appetite, and it wraps up the rest of the rabbit meat.Thanks to this successful hunting by mistake, Xiaobai and Xiaohei were enlightened.Whenever they encounter small prey, they try to go up and hunt.
Unfortunately, they were too small after all, and there was no successful hunting after that.Until one time Xiaobai became anxious, and suddenly sprayed fire on the pheasant.The pheasant's feathers are lit, and the movement speed is greatly reduced.With the help of Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai successfully knocked down the pheasant.The two leopard cubs raised their front paws and proudly showed the result to the big leopard.As a result, extreme joy gave birth to sorrow, and the pheasant narrowly escaped from the leopard's claws.
Xiaobai and Xiaohei were stunned as they watched the prey they had obtained getting farther and farther away from him.Ye Mingze looked at the two amusing leopard cubs, he smiled and endured the pain, his shoulders trembled.The big leopard turned his head, really unwilling to admit that these two were his descendants.It is so wise and wise, how could it give birth to such two cubs?It must be their father's bad genes.The big leopard quickly found an excuse for himself.
Xiaobai Xiaohei knew that he had done something stupid, and he looked eager to try, and he was bound to wash away his shame on the same day.The two are very energetic, and they have not been tired after so long.Seeing their serious expressions, Ye Mingze felt embarrassed to laugh at them again, and slowly put away his smile.
This time they learned how to behave, and when they met suitable prey, they approached quietly.When reaching a certain distance, Xiaobai sprayed a mouthful of fire first, and Xiaohei surrounded him from the front.If you are lucky, the prey is injured and slowed down, and Xiao Hei waits for the opportunity to move from the side, with a success rate of at least [-]%.This time, the two did not make the mistake just now. When showing off to the big leopard and Ye Mingze, they did not forget to hold down the prey under their paws.
When Xiaobai and Xiaohei got tired, they also caught five or six pheasants and hares.Pheasant is not on the common diet of leopards, with little meat, and it is very likely to eat a mouthful of feathers.The two leopard cubs caught what they saw, and the big leopard did not correct them. After they tried it themselves, they would have a choice.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ye Mingze started to drive home with two pheasants.Xiaobai and Xiaohei saw each other and followed suit.Ye Mingze carried them back to the big leopard, and when he turned around, the two followed.It happened several times in a row, Ye Mingze had no choice but to think about it, let them go back to the forest during the day, and sleep at Ye's house at night.
Ye Mingze told the big leopard what he meant, and it didn't object.In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a beautiful scene: Ye Mingze was walking in front, two little leopards were playing and fighting at his feet, and finally the big leopard was leading the way.
Nowadays, people in Yejia Village go to sea every day. The east gate of the village, the stone gate is open during the day, and only the wooden gate is closed.The gatekeeper of the Ye family saw Ye Mingze walking towards them from a distance with three leopards alone, and opened the wooden door in advance with a tacit understanding.
Since the leopards often have to let the wind out in the future, it will be a little troublesome to go through the east gate.I remembered that I used the rope ladder at the beginning and climbed over the wall of my own courtyard to get in and out, so I might as well do the same in the future.Well, it's such a happy decision!Ye Mingze made the decision without the consent of the three leopards. He is really not a qualified partner, haha!
Seeing that the leopards had returned to the Ye family's main house, the rest of the Ye family were very curious. What if they agreed to stay in the mountains from now on?The two little ones, Li Xue and Li Zhen, have always liked little leopards and wanted to pet them all the time.It's just that the adults are so strict that they have never had a chance to do anything.
The leopards also recognize people, except for Ye Mingze, who only let Jiang Jingzhi touch him occasionally, the others don't even give him a look.Because of this, the adults dare not let the two children approach them casually.
Ye Mingze handed over the pheasant and hare to the cook.Naturally, the pheasant was served on Ye's family table.The hares belong to the leopards, two are boiled, and one is cut into pieces and eaten raw.Eat some raw food now and then, so they don't lose their wildness.
After dinner, Ye Mingze's room.
"Tell me, do the villagers give up eating because of choking? In the edge of the mountain forest, although there are not many prey and the danger is low, why is no one hunting?" Jiang Jingzhi basically stays at the main house of the Ye family these days, but the news is not blocked. .
"I'm not scared yet. There are both monsters and magic plants. The mountains and forests are actually quite dangerous. But you are right, as long as you are careful, the danger on the edge of the mountains and forests is really not that great. This is similar to the past, nothing different Before the change, only hunters dared to go up the mountain to hunt in Yejia Village. Even if they were greedy for meat, not many people had the courage to go into the mountain. If you really want to eat, you can go to the meat stall to cut some pork to satisfy your hunger." Ye Mingze just arrived During the Great Xing Dynasty, Yejia Village was like this. "Besides, now there are whales watching over the waters near Yejia Village, and the villagers have seafood to eat, so they are not so greedy."
"Well, what you said makes sense. It's really thanks to the killer whale. If it weren't for it, Yejia Village would hardly even be able to eat a sea fish." Other sea areas are full of dangers, and Jiang Jingzhi learned this news from Ye Mingze.
"Haha, I was lucky. Think about it, I let the leopard go, and it saved us from the earthquake. I saved Orca No. [-], and it gave me a safe sea. Thinking about it, I feel intoxicated .Besides, it’s also a spiritual body, and I haven’t seen other spiritual bodies have such a big effect. Look, our killer whale will automatically find backup for me. Is there anyone in Yejia Village who can be so favored by God?”
"It's not just your luck. With you in Yejia Village, how many disasters have been saved in the whole village? Let's just say that in the last earthquake, the death toll was calculated proportionally, which was less than a quarter of the outside. It’s hard to imagine, what would Yejiacun look like without you?” What Jiang Jingzhi didn’t say was that he also entrusted Ye Mingze’s blessing.Now he eats delicious food and drinks, and there are people serving him. Although he can't compare with the life of the Hou Mansion, but after a horizontal comparison, you will find that Jiang Jingzhi's current life is already happy enough.
"Hehe, actually I didn't do anything. I just made some money and bought the right people. If it wasn't for your support, how would I have dared to spend all my money?" On the verge of running out of money.Including his parents, no one in the family objected, which has to be said to be Ye Mingze's great luck.
Ye Mingze bought so many servants. Although the villagers didn't know the exact number at the time, there were a lot of rumors.The rest of the Ye family acted as if they hadn't heard it, and they still strongly supported Ye Mingze's actions.In fact, it's not that the family members don't worry or hesitate. The Ye family is an authentic farmer. Before, they didn't even think about it. One day, their family would be able to live a good life with servants to take care of them.They just think that Ye Mingze is the only one in the family who is promising, and if the family wants to prosper, they can only rely on him.If Ye Mingze's actions fail, others will have no way to improve their family's living conditions.Just like that, the Ye family became a rope.Up to now, as long as it is Ye Mingze's instructions, the Ye family has almost reached the point of blindly following.
"Looking at your ugly appearance, are you still embarrassed?" The two have been together for three years, how could Jiang Jingzhi not know Ye Mingze's temperament?
"Hey, by the way, how about the pots of tomatoes you are in charge of?"
"Here, it's on the window sill. You can see for yourself." Jiang Jingzhi didn't participate in the field work because of his pregnancy. He raised three pots of tomatoes in his room in his free time.
Ye Mingze opened the wooden window, and with the faint light, a pleasing red flashed into his eyes instantly.Now that it has just entered August, these tomatoes have only been planted for a month, and many fruits have begun to turn red. Each one is as big as a fist, and it will not be long before they can be harvested.
Ye Mingze praised Jiang Jingzhi without hesitation.
"I just take care of it in my spare time. If I really want to devote myself wholeheartedly, I guess the growth time will be shorter." Regardless of Jiang Jingzhi staying in the Ye family's main house all day, he has a lot of things to do.
"Well. There are more than a dozen wood-type supernatural beings in our family. I asked them to be in charge of a field each, and each of them was responsible for different crops. I have to see how much the growth period of the crops can be shortened with their care. Wait After the specific values are known, we can operate according to the current situation in the future." The food problem has always been the top priority of the Ye family. This year's weather is cold, and the food production will definitely not be so high. .With them, Ye Mingze felt much at ease.
"Okay, it's getting late, you're heavy, go to bed early!" After the two finished washing, Ye Mingze blew out the oil lamp, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, only the two of them were breathing lightly.
