Survive through the ancient apocalypse

"Mingze, those two crystal plants are not big, they can just be planted in a big flowerpot, and I will take care of them in the future." Jiang Jingzhi knows that crystal plants are important supplies, these two plants are different from those ocean crystal plants, if they are planted outside , if an outsider comes in, he can take it off with his hand.

"Sure, as long as you like it." Ye Mingze was teasing Jiahui and Jiayao, and replied casually.

It was almost bed time, but the two little guys were still dancing and excited, probably because they hadn't seen their two fathers for a long time.It happened that Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi also missed their two precious sons, so they stopped coaxing them to sleep, and had fun together.

"Ah!" Jiahui waved his arms wildly, as if trying to grab something.

"Huihui, if you want a rattle, come and get it." Ye Mingze seemed to have a childlike innocence. The eldest son wanted it, but he refused to give it.Jiahui grabbed it a few times and didn't even touch it, he was upset.Seeing that the water was about to flood Jinshan, Ye Mingze hurriedly stuffed the rattle into the elder son's hand.The little guy got what he wanted, and immediately opened his mouth and laughed again. The rain turned cloudy in an instant, and he didn't even need time to brew his emotions. Ye Mingze convinced him.

"Yaoyao, do you want it too? Okay, okay, one for each of you." The two little guys are very lively. Jiayao saw that his eldest brother got the rattle, but he didn't. want.Jiang Jingzhi was much more kind than Ye Mingze, seeing the eagerness of his youngest son, he stuffed the rattle into his hand.

Now it's all right, the two sons got what they wanted, and they shook the rattle in their hands from time to time, making a crisp sound.Whenever the sound of dong dong sounded, the little guys would all smile, as if they drank fine nectar and jade dew.

It was indeed a little late, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingyi hugged each other and began to coax them to sleep.Jiahui Jiayao was energetic for a long time, once the excitement passed, Zhou Gong quickly found them.The two thought that it would take a long time for their sons to sleep obediently. Who would have thought that they would fall asleep in a blink of an eye, and the two of them simply didn't know what was going on.Carefully put the two little guys into the kang bed, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi were also tired, and went to bed after washing.Surrounded by the soft blanket, the two soon fell asleep.

Maybe it was because they got home and realized that it was safe here, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi didn't get up early as usual.They were woken up by the two sons. The little ones were hungry, and they yelled "ahhh" to the fathers for food.

Ye Mingze didn't ask Jiang Jingzhi to get up, let him sleep for a while, and he will take care of the sons.He pissed his two sons and put them in their cradles.There was milk in the room, and Ye Mingze warmed it up on the stove, and then fed it to the two little guys one by one after it cooled down.Jiahui and Jiayao twitched their mouths from time to time, drinking the tasteless milk with great enjoyment.

Jiang Jingzhi was lying on the bed, quietly watching the harmonious picture of the three father and son, smiling from the bottom of his heart, his eyebrows and eyes curved unconsciously.I wish life could go on like this forever.

Ye Mingze fed his two sons, picked up the cradle and led the leopards into the main room.During this period, Jiang Jingzhi was awake all the time. When he was alone in the room, the silent environment could easily breed drowsiness. When sleepiness struck, he no longer resisted and let himself fall into a deep sleep.

"I haven't eaten fish for a long time, and I really miss its taste." Ye Mingze settled down his son, picked up the fish porridge and started to eat it.

"There are the most fish at home, so don't get bored with it, it's good." Jiang Shi had already eaten breakfast, and it was still early, so he had nothing to do, so he started feeding the soles of his sons' shoes.

"Mom, why are you alone, and dad and the others?"

"It's coming to the end of September, and there are a lot of things in the field. Your father has to go to the field at this time every day. As for Mingxi Mingjiang and your eldest brother-in-law, don't you know? They are busy training their respective patrols as long as they are free. The small team. So many people are in their charge, and they are worried about it, so they may be happy." Jiang didn't say how the embroidery was, at least the needlework was pretty good.The stitches on the soles are patchwork, and the stitches are tight. It looks like a familiar hand.

"Mother, I'm going out. Jingzhi is still sleeping, Jiahui Jiayao can only let mother and elder sisters look after them." Ye Mingze put down the bowls and chopsticks, gently opened the door and put on his coat, came quietly, quietly Walking quietly, the sleeping Jiang Jingzhi didn't even wrinkle his brows, the dream was still there.

The temperature was very low in the early morning, and the roof of the awning in the field was tightly covered, only a few rays of sunlight penetrated occasionally.If the torches were not lit, the shed would be dark.As soon as Ye Mingze entered it, he obviously felt that the temperature here was much higher than outside.Although the simple greenhouse is simple, it seems that the effect is not bad.

Although it was still early, many people were already working in the fields.The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the final finishing work must be done well.Ye Mingze didn't have a clear purpose for this trip. He looked around and found that everything was as usual, so he turned to the return pool.

In order to ensure that the seawater will not deteriorate, part of the seawater is changed in the pool every once in a while.Those marine crystal plants stayed safely at the bottom of the pool, growing fairly well.It's a pity, if it grows on the ground, these crystal plants can absorb wood-type abilities every day, and the growth will be better.Ye Mingze tried to let people release wood-type supernatural powers directly into the water, and it seemed to have some effect, but it seemed to be negligible.Ye Mingze gave up, and only let the wood-type supernatural beings come here before going to bed to empty their supernatural powers, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"Are you awake?" Ye Mingze was concentrating on thinking, when he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head to look.

"What time is it?" Jiang Jingzhi slept soundly this time, and could no longer feel the tiredness accumulated in the past few days.

"Sishichu, it's not too late, hehe." Ye Mingze joked, "Yesterday, I only let people tell my father-in-law that we are back. If we didn't see anyone, my mother-in-law might still be worried. Let's go to Jiang's house for a walk, you see how?"

"Listen to you." It was late, Jiang Jingzhi dressed and washed quickly.It was a bit troublesome to comb the hair, Ye Mingze got up and stepped forward to help.When Jiang Jingzhi first arrived at Ye's house, his hair was dry and yellow due to illness.I have raised it for several years, and now the hair quality is very good, black and soft, and it feels very good to the touch.After arriving in the Daxing Dynasty, Ye Mingze went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, and a simple bun would not trouble him.

When Jiang Jingzhi entered the hall, Jiahui Jiayao was sleeping.The two brothers were head to head, their chubby little faces were full of innocence.He didn't bother the two little ones, and sat down to eat breakfast.

It has only been a few years, and the memory of the Hou Mansion is actually a little fuzzy.Getting up at the beginning of time at Sishi is completely unimaginable in the Hou Mansion.After staying in the Ye family for several years, many habits have changed.He usually gets up early, but occasionally he oversleep like now.No one here will reprimand him for this. Of course, this kind of treatment is not unique to him, as long as it is the Ye family, they will be treated the same.

"Bring the sons along, so that the father-in-law and the others can enjoy themselves too." Ye Mingze held a small quilt in his hand, and went out to cover the two little guys later, "Mother, there is no need to save us lunch at noon today. We ate at my father-in-law's house."

Jiang Jingzhi was holding the cradle, Ye Mingze was carrying fruits and meat, and Shi Shiran headed for Jiang's house.

There is not much farm work now, and most of Jiang's family members are at home near noon.Jiang Jinghe has sharp eyes, and he found Ye Mingze's family of four as soon as they arrived at Jiang's house, and hurried forward to take the cradle: "Brother, brother Mingze, you are here. Ha, there are two cute little nephews. I haven't seen them for a long time." gone."

The little ones are less than two months old, how long can Jiang Jinghe not see each other?

Jiang Jingzhi smiled without saying a word, and followed his youngest brother into the main room.

"Mother, big brother and brother Mingze are here, and they brought a little nephew." As soon as Jiang Jinghe put down the cradle, he ran to the kitchen to inform Mrs. Jiang.

Mother Jiang looked at her youngest son amusedly, but Mother Jiang knew even if he didn't say anything.Who made Jiang Jinghe yell all the way into the main room, probably everyone in Jiang's house knows now.

"Stop shouting, everyone knows about your loud voice. Let's go, see my precious grandson." Mother Jiang washed her hands and walked towards the main room.

"Respect, I heard that you have gained a lot from entering the mountain this time. No accidents have occurred, right?" Mrs. Jiang looked at the peaceful sleeping face of his two grandsons, and he was in a very good mood.

"Well, it's all right. We brought a healer into the mountain specially. If there is an accident, we can only consider ourselves unlucky." Jiang Jingzhi said it easily, but the truth may not be as simple as he said.If there is a healing ability, there will be no accidents, then everyone is willing to enter the mountain.They went into the mountain carefully and carefully, carefully and cautiously, so that all members could return safely.He said this just to reassure his family and save them from fear.

"Jing Yi, Wen Lan, congratulations, these fruits are picked from the mountain, not here, you can eat them." Ye Mingze pointed to one of the packages on the table.

"Okay, Jing Yi congratulates you two so don't make any trouble, Wen Lan and I are enough." Jiang's mother took the gift from the eldest son to the kitchen, opened it, and found that there were many other gifts besides the fruit. meat.Now, the kids should be happy again.There are many types of meat, all of which are cut into large pieces. There are several types, and it is difficult for Jiang's mother to distinguish them for a while.

Jiang Jingzhi seemed to know his mother's difficulties. When Jiang's mother entered the kitchen, he arrived behind.Jiang Jingzhi called out the names of those meats that Jiang's mother couldn't distinguish clearly.In fact, these meats are not uncommon, but it is really difficult to distinguish them when they are cut into chunks.

"Tell me the truth, are you injured?" Mother Jiang put down what she was doing and looked at her eldest son seriously.

"Mom, I'm a guide, and I'm always in the rear during the fight. I'm well protected, so how can I get hurt?" Jiang Jingzhi said the truth. Most of the injured were sentries, and the guides were generally safe and sound.

"You don't know how worried I am when you go into the mountains. Whether it's you or Mingze, the two of you can't lose anything. Mingze's burden is very heavy, and the entire Yejia Village cannot do without him. Don't look at what those people said The Ye family is nothing more than that, if you really want to leave, make sure they are the most active in blocking the land. No one is stupid, and everyone understands it very well." Jiang's mother is also a transparent person. Ye Mingze's family village can be preserved so well. played a big role.

"Mother, I know. If it is not necessary, we will not go into the mountains easily. There are two boys in the family who need me and Mingze to take care of them. We are very sorry for our lives." Jiang Jingzhi looked helpless, facing his mother, he could only try to comfort his mother.

"It's good to know."

"Sister-in-law, go chat with Jingzhi and the others, and I'll make lunch." It was Jiang's mother's turn to cook today, and Mrs. Jiang took the initiative to take over.Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingze didn't often stay for dinner, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the mother and son just had more contact.

"Sure, thank you for the second brother and sister." Jiang's mother was not pretentious, and agreed very straightforwardly, "You can give this fruit to your nephews later."

The Jiang family shared meals, and other things were distributed to each house, and only a small part was kept in the public house.Like Jiang Jingzhi's gift, Jiang's mother only kept half of it, and the rest was divided equally among the houses.Because of this, the other members of the Jiang family have a good impression of Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingze.

Mrs. Jiang is well-informed and knows everything except a few fruits.Just because he knew a lot, he was even more surprised: "Many fruits here only grow in the south. It's so cold here, where did you find them?"

"Grandfather, we found this by accident. It is half a day away from Yejia Village. It is a valley, almost isolated from the outside world, with only one passage leading to the outside. The temperature in the center of the valley is very high, which seems to be suitable for their growth."

"You guys are really lucky to be able to find such a hidden place." He stroked the old man's beard and listened with interest.

"The valley is quite big, but it's a pity that the temperature in most places is not enough. Only the center of the valley grows these southern fruits. It is less than five acres, and there are many other plants mixed in it. All the fruit types add up to one or two. Hundreds of trees. It’s rare to go into the mountains, and we picked all we could.” Jiang Jingzhi paused, then pointed to two of the big fruits and said, “This is dragon fruit, you can spoon it with a small cut Eat. Nuo, this plate is sliced ​​dragon fruit, the taste is a bit bland, you may not like it. As for the pineapple, the outer skin is very difficult to peel, and I can't, let Mingze get it for you. Two Brother, you have to watch carefully, next time you want to eat, you have to do it yourself."

Dragon fruit and pineapple Jiang Jingzhi only recently learned about it. He doesn't like the taste of dragon fruit, but pineapple tastes sour and sweet, and he can eat half of it in one go.It is really troublesome to peel pineapples. There is no special peeling knife here, so be careful when using a dagger.With a thick leather glove on his left hand, Ye Mingze grasped the pineapple upside down, took a lot of effort to get it right, then cut it into slices and put it into the light salt water prepared by Jiang Jingzhi.After waiting for a while, I signaled to my father-in-law that they could eat.Pineapple is a bit astringent, so it’s okay to eat less. If you eat more, it’s better to soak it in light salt water.

Indeed, as Jiang Jingzhi said, pineapple is more popular than dragon fruit, especially children like this sweet and sour taste.Other fruits are not neglected, and adults prefer to eat non-sour fruits such as lychee and longan.Everyone has different preferences, and everyone present can find out the fruit they like, and everyone is happy.

"When I came back, Mingze sent people to break off a few branches of each unique southern fruit to see if they could be planted. It would be best if it could be said, and there would be no loss if it didn't." So far, he has never seen the branch cuttings as a way of multiplying fruit trees, so he really has no idea.However, he believed that Mingze would not act recklessly, and that a few trees would survive more or less.

"Now this time is not suitable for fruit tree cuttings. The temperature in Yejia Village is low, and lychees and the like have high temperature requirements. I also try my luck. Doesn't this mean that there are wood-type supernatural beings at home? Maybe I can grow them for a long time. tree." Ye Mingze didn't have much hope for this, he just had to see if God would show him.

"Well, that's what Mingze should do. If you haven't tried anything, how can you be sure it won't work?" Mrs. Jiang is very optimistic about Ye Mingze's attitude in doing things, and it's not his character to be cowardly before doing things.

After thinking about it, other people think that what Mr. Jiang said makes sense. If you don't try something that seems almost impossible, how will you know that the result will not be beautiful?

Everyone in the Jiang family had this lunch with smiles on their faces, especially the half-grown children. The fragrant braised pork was so crispy that it melted in the mouth. The taste was really memorable.Jiahui and Jiayao's two little guys also came to join in the fun, and they woke up only halfway through lunch, yelling to show that they were awake, come quickly.

The baby was very hungry, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi had prepared for it a long time ago, they brought a few bottles of milk when they came, and now they can be used after warming up.The two were about to get up to see the two little guys, but were stopped by Jiang's mother: "With us old people around, why do you do it?"

Jiahui Jiayao is still young and doesn't know how to recognize people. When he saw Jiang's mother, he didn't recognize his birth. When he felt comfortable being served, he gave him a toothless smile.Seeing the innocent smiling face of the little grandson, Jiang's mother seemed to be rejuvenated, and her whole body was much lighter.Jiang's mother and Jiang's second wife hugged one each, and carefully fed the milk with a small spoonful.

"Sister-in-law, you are so blessed!" Mrs. Jiang's eldest son is two years younger than Jiang Jingzhi. He didn't catch up with the good time. When he announced his marriage, his family was in trouble. He is almost twenty and has not yet married a wife.

"Second brother and sister, the man's age is not too old. There are many people who are 25 or [-] years old. Our family is not bad now. If we can't find it, we can go to Yangshan County to buy one." Not only their family, In the entire Yangshan County, the average age of marriage is older than that in the Taiping period. This is forced by the environment and there is no way to do it.

Second Madam Jiang understood that her sister-in-law was telling the truth, not to mention far away, as far as Yejia Village is concerned, the age of marriage is generally too old.The world is difficult, and if you don't have enough ability, you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law to increase the burden on your family.The daughter-in-law of the Jiang family can marry, but they are outsiders. Because of the Ye family, no one underestimates them, but after all, the friendship is not enough, and the Jiang family has once been brilliant, so it will be difficult for them to accept the children of the peasant family as daughter-in-laws for a while. , the marriage was put on hold.Fortunately, I am not very old, and I can still find it slowly.

Seeing that the two little ones burped after drinking the milk, Mother Jiang and Mrs. Jiang put them back in the cradle and placed them beside the main table.Jiahui Jiayao looked around with his round eyes open, and when he saw a familiar figure, he stretched out his hand "ahhh" to hug them.

"I knew you wouldn't be so peaceful when you wake up." Jiang Jingzhi put down his chopsticks, turned around and picked up the younger son and handed it to Ye Mingze who was beside him, while he picked up the older son himself.In order not to quarrel with the sons, each time the two took turns hugging each other.Today Jiang Jingzhi hugs the eldest son, and tomorrow the younger son will be in his arms.The two little ones got into the arms of their fathers, and they were a little quieter. Their little hands were clutching the skirts of their clothes, and their eyes were curiously watching the rising and falling of the chopsticks.

After all, the child was still young. Not long after Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi finished their lunch, the two little ones squinted their eyes and fell asleep again.The two of them looked at the son in their arms rather amusedly, they were so unbelievable, they should persist for a longer time.Seeing the cute little snoring faces of their sons, the two couldn't bear to wake them up, and after shaking them, they gently put them back in the cradle when they fell asleep.

Now that the child can be raised so well at this time, Jiang's family all realized something after seeing it.The living conditions in Yejia Village are better than most families outside, but even so, it is extremely difficult to raise their children to be white and fat, at least the Jiang family has never seen it.

After the meal, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi sat down for a while, and then returned home with their two sons.

After arriving home, the two little guys were still sleeping in the dark, with crystal saliva still hanging from the corners of their mouths.Jiang Jingzhi wiped them with a bib, and it felt a little damp, so he changed it to another one.

"Mingze, can those cuttings really survive?" Jiang Jingzhi didn't want to venture into the mountains again to satisfy his appetite, so he naturally hoped that Ye Mingze's planting would be successful.

"I don't know about this either, why don't you go and have a look later?" How could Ye Mingze guarantee something that violated the laws of nature?

The Ye family didn't have the habit of growing flowers, so naturally they couldn't take out so many flower pots, and the fruit tree branches were all cut in newly made wooden boxes.Considering that it is a fruit tree, the wooden box is relatively large, half a meter square.

The main house of the Ye family has a lot of empty rooms, all of which are equipped with fire walls and floor heating.Ye Mingze cut more than a dozen branches from each kind of fruit, and there are nearly two hundred pots after the cuttings, filling the two empty rooms to the brim, leaving no gaps except for the place to step down.It's not yet time to burn the kang. For these fruit trees, since last night, the floor heating and fire walls in these two rooms have been turned on.

The temperature outside is low, even during the day when the temperature is the highest, it is not suitable for these fruit trees to grow, and fruit trees cannot do without light, so Ye Mingze simply asked the fire-type supernatural powers to cast fireballs to act as light.The fireball is cast by the fire ability, but the mental power is consumed to maintain it.In this way, a fire-type supernatural being born as a guide is obviously more suitable for this job.

If one fireball is not bright enough, then cast two or three.When the mental power is exhausted, another fire-type supernatural power will be on top.There are only ten or so hours during the day, and depending on the strength of each person's mental strength, the length of time they can maintain the fireball also varies. In summary, five or six people with fire abilities in a room are enough to take care of them.

The fire-type abilities provided light and a small amount of heat energy, and the wood-type abilities stimulated the vitality of the plants. Coupled with the heating provided by the floor heating fire wall, after a few days, as many as half of the cuttings survived.Not only Jiang Jingzhi, but also Ye Mingze himself was greatly surprised.This is just the product of his whim, and the result is so gratifying.

With this successful precedent, Ye Mingze is full of hope for the future.He plans to build two more greenhouses, one is a house with floor heating and a fire wall, a real house.Another kind, only the lower part is a mud wall, and the upper part is made of bamboo strips to form a grid, and then pasted with window paper, covered with grass thatch at night, and uncovered during the day to allow the crops to receive light.The second type is not suitable for use in winter. It snows every year in Yejia Village. Such a simple shed cannot bear the weight of the snow. This kind of shed is only slightly more warm than the current simple greenhouse.

As for the first type of greenhouse, Ye Mingze would like to build more. Unfortunately, there are only about [-] people with fire abilities in the Ye family, and the area that the fireball can illuminate is really not large.

The greenhouse can't be built yet, at least until the vegetable crops in the field are harvested.The only thing he can prepare in advance now is firewood and wood for making wooden boxes.After the greenhouse is enabled, the demand for firewood will increase greatly, so the more you prepare, the better.

Time flies, and Yejia Village soon ushered in a belated autumn harvest.This is the happiest time of the year for the villagers. Seeing the grain coming into the granary little by little, everyone is full of smiles, and even the old man seems to have lost a few wrinkles.

The temperature is too low this year, crops grow slowly, and the yield per mu in Yejia Village is only slightly higher than last year.Still, the villagers are content enough.The yield per mu is not high, which is compared with the normal year vertically.If compared horizontally, the average yield per mu of fields in Yejia Village is much higher than outside.

In Yejia Village, the Ye family took the lead, and other families followed. They all used simple greenhouses during spring plowing and autumn harvest.The villagers of the Ye family do not get something for nothing, on the contrary, whether it is the construction of the greenhouse or the lifting of the roof every day, the villagers have put in a lot of labor and a lot of time.They deserve what they have now, and the efforts of the villagers over the past few months have not been in vain.

Jiang Jingzhi was looking at the grain income. He made a rough estimate. Judging from the yield per mu of harvested crops, the average yield per mu this year should be about [-] catties, which is about [-] catties higher than last year.If this is the case, this year's harvest will be enough for everyone in the Ye family to feed for a year.After reading it, Jiang Jingzhi finally let out a sigh of relief, at least he doesn't have to worry about being hungry next year.Thinking of Mingze's plan to start a greenhouse, and that he might have a surplus in food next year, the corners of his mouth curved even further.

With the increase of livestock, the vegetable field in the backyard of the Ye family was divided into two parts, the part near the front yard was still used as a vegetable field, and the half near the field became a pasture.The pasture is divided into several uniform pieces, which are filled with alfalfa, and the grazing is usually rotated.Now these alfalfas are fully mature, and some people are busy harvesting them and drying them as feed for livestock in winter.

Most of the vegetables on the vegetable field have been harvested, and the masters who built the greenhouse are clearing the ground. Once the remaining vegetables are ripe, they will start work immediately.

Whether it is a vegetable field or a field, it is a scene of enthusiasm.The busyness at this time, in exchange for food and clothing for the next year, no one dares to be lazy.The villagers of the Ye family are like this, and the servants of the Ye family are even more so.They used to be poor people, and they know the uncomfortable feeling of being hungry. After experiencing it once, they don't want to do it again.I don’t even want to try it myself, let alone my children.They will never let their children suffer what they suffered.The Ye family gave them such good living conditions, if they didn't work hard, it would be no different from dying.
