Defeat natural disasters with farming

The rain didn’t last long, and it stopped in late May. In just half a day, the muddy land was dry and hot, and it might be hard to boil eggs on the ground. cooked.

At the same time, the guide from Wangsi City also came, and it was Wu Zichu who came. They met once, so Ye Yu and the others were very happy. After all, if they didn't know each other, they might not get along on the road.

There were more than 50 people who set out to visit the city of Sacrifice, and they were basically young and strong guys. They were all tall and strong, and they had all learned martial arts from the masters of martial arts. It is more than enough, not to mention that they are still in a group of five, and each group performs its own duties. To be honest, the force is not bad.

It is estimated that only Ye Yu and Shen Qingyu are weaker in this team and need protection.

Needless to say, Ye Yu himself, Shen Qingyu joined the team because he needed a doctor in the team, and he studied under Doctor Chen, his medical skills are not bad, and he is not too young, plus his father Shen Fu is the leader of the trip Therefore, he is the most suitable candidate.

When they set off, they drove a total of six donkey carts, and even brought out the horses bred in the city. If two people rode one horse, ten horses could seat twenty people, but some people don’t like riding horses. , I feel panicked, and my thighs are worn out, so there are only ten people riding ten horses, and the rest prefer to walk to keep up. The donkey cart also needs two people to sit on one side and one on the right to drive the cart. This is another twelve people. As for The others walked on their own with their legs, changing between rushing and walking for half a day to ensure that everyone could have a good rest.

Of course, even if the plan is well planned, there will be accidents. First of all, no one wants to ride a horse. In the end, the ten horses are all used to ride by Chu Xufeng and Jia Yi. .

Ye Yu and Shen Qingyu didn't go on their own, mainly because their speed was too slow, and they would get tired easily if they walked too much. It's better to sit on the donkey cart to talk with Wu Zichu and ask for some news.

Like now, it has been two days since they set off. Although there is no road in the forest, it is not difficult to walk. I don't know why the road is quite flat, and the donkey cart will not overturn when walking on it.

Wu Zichu said: "It would be great if the road could be repaired."

Vegetation is growing extremely fast now. Even if a road is built in the forest, it will be submerged by moss and shrubs again within half a month. Unless people keep an eye on it, it will be useless at all.

Ye Yu thought for a while and asked him, "Is there any way around Wangsi City?"

Wu Zichu nodded proudly when he heard this, and replied: "Not only is there a way, because there are many people who defected to our Wangsi city, there are also four subsidiary cities nearby, which add up to tens of thousands of people! Between each city There is a road connecting it, which is very lively.”

This number is quite a lot, Ye Yu can understand his pride, they hope that the number of people in Hope City is not more than a thousand, but they are already ten times their number.

Therefore, he casually flattered him, and when he saw Wu Zichu's expression became more and more proud, he asked tentatively, "How many cities will participate in the rally this time?"

Wu Zichu didn't hide it from him, probably because he wanted to show off, so he happily replied: "There are seven cities to participate in, in addition to what I told you before, there is also a city in the middle called Hunnan City, and three cities to follow Among the towns in the south that came together with Morning Glory City, Morning Glory City is the largest, and it is said that it can accommodate 3 people! After all, the situation in the south is much better than ours. As long as you work hard, you can always survive, and you also like to hold groups. Others It’s a little less, but your city is definitely the smallest among them, no matter how you say it, there are hundreds or thousands of people.”

Even if General Chu brought people over to Jiwang City, the number of people would only be about a thousand, at least a little less, but Ye Yu believed that their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of other cities. After all, the young and middle-aged people who came to join were basically former soldiers. , Needless to say more about personal qualities.

Wu Zichu also said: "However, you have an advantage here. There are many fields, so you can grow food, and you don't have to worry about food. We have a lot of people, so we have to exchange food from other cities. Fortunately, there are many animals nearby, and the city people can get something out of hunting. .”

Ye Yu smiled, "Actually, they are almost the same."

They just chatted briefly, and the sun became more and more intense. Even if there was shade from the trees, they didn't want to march at noon. People, donkeys and horses are prone to heatstroke, so it's better to save this hour and go after lunch. Give it a good fix.

So at this time, the two people who were riding horses to explore the road at the front came back, and they found a rather spacious shade not far away, which could just accommodate a group of them.

There is a pine forest connected together.

It's just a simple lunch break, so you don't need to set up a camp, just lie on the tree if you want to rest.

While Uncle Zhong was taking people to feed the donkeys and horses, Ye Yu and the others took out several large pots to boil water for cooking. Where did it originate from? Anyway, Ye Yu looked at the map brought by Wu Zichu, the river roughly coincides with their route, only a few places in the middle are different, but it is not a big problem. Just in the bag.

Ye Yu took out a paper package sealed with oiled paper from the cart, and when he opened it, a round dry biscuit was revealed.

Wu Zichu looked over curiously, "What is this? It looks weird."

"We call it instant noodles, not to mention the taste, but the convenience. When we go out or when we don't want to cook, we cook the noodles and eat them. You will know after a while." Ye Minghui, who is in charge of cooking today, introduced to him road.

"Success, then I have to try it out." Wu Zichu said with a smile.

After all, he didn’t really have any hope. Of course, it’s not that he looked down on them, it’s just that they didn’t taste good. He also ate many kinds of dry food, and there were many differences, but one thing is The same, that is, it is dry and hard, and the taste is not very good.

However, when he saw Ye Minghui put four or five noodle cakes in after boiling the water, and poured some oil, he took out three packs of unknown minced powder from the package and poured them in. Floating out of the air, this made him look forward to it.

Speaking of which, the method of making instant noodles is also simple, no technical content is required, just add eggs to the flour, knead the noodles and roll them into thin slices, then cut them into thin strips and boil them in water for a while. Frying can be left for a long time, even if the weather is hot now, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are seven or eight days.

As for the seasoning, there are almost the same types, salt, onion and garlic powder, sugar and the like.

When the noodles were half cooked, the people who went to patrol nearby found another clump of non-poisonous mushrooms, washed them, cut them into pieces and put them in together.

At this time, the noodles in the pot were already very fragrant, and everyone couldn't wait to take out their bowls and chopsticks, waiting for Ye Minghui to divide the noodles for them.

Of course, these pots of noodles can’t fill everyone’s stomachs, so they can only be used as an adjustment. The staple food is the hard pancakes made before they come out. Although they are hard, they are very hungry.

Ye Yu tore the cake into small pieces and put it in a bowl, and waited until it softened before eating.

As soon as he took a sip of the soup, he judged it in his heart, maybe because there were few seasonings, the taste was still a bit inferior.

But someone liked it very much. Wu Zichu was shocked after taking a bite, and asked excitedly, "Can you sell this bread?"

Hearing this, Ye Yu replied: "We don't bring many out, we'll talk about it when we land."

Wu Zichu nodded, "It should be so."

After eating a delicious lunch, they took a short rest in place, and it was only half an hour after the hottest time, and the group started again.

Nothing happened in the afternoon, and we arrived at the place where we set up camp at night in a safe and sound way.

It was a relatively high and flat hillside, and there were no large animals on it, at most, pheasants and hares. People who came out to patrol saw them shoot directly with bows/crossbows. It happened to be an extra meal at night.

The tents they brought over were the ones used by General Chu. They were convenient to set up and had a large area. One tent could sleep five people. If you didn't pursue comfort, you could sleep two more people.

When cleaning up the camp, everyone performed their duties. Some were lighting the fire, some were setting up tents, some were going out on patrol, some were feeding donkeys and horses, and some were spreading insect repellent powder around the camp. The main material of the insect repellent powder was realgar. It came out great.

Naturally, there are people taking turns to watch the night at night, with ten people as a group, changing every two hours, and the bonfire is not extinguished all night, so they are considered safe when they sleep.

It was not Ye Yu's turn to watch the night tonight, besides him and Chu Xufeng, there were also Shen Qingyu, Ye Minghui and Ye Shuan in the tent, they were all familiar people who couldn't be more familiar.

It is hot now, even at night the temperature is not low, the river water is just good enough to take a bath after cooling down, but Ye Yu's body does not support him to do so, he can only use the boiled water to wipe his body, it is really troublesome, but he It didn't bother anyone else, Chu Xufeng and the others helped burn the water, and it was in their tent when he washed it. After he finished washing, it was Shen Qingyu's turn. The situation of the two of them was similar, but Shen Qingyu was better than him. , but just in case, it is better to use hot water, after all, if you get sick, it is a big deal.

They were tired all day, and they were ready to go to bed after washing, and Ye Yu was no exception. He fell into a drowsiness soon after nestling in Chu Xufeng's arms. The three of them knew it, so they were not surprised to see their actions.

A night without dreams.

The next day was to repeat the previous process. Although there were twists and turns on the road, they were not serious. It was basically to the extent of meeting a lone wolf. With their force, they were not afraid. Besides, the lone wolf was still an old wolf, and it was probably a failure in the fight for the throne. kicked out.

It was not until more than half a month later that they saw the subsidiary city of Wangsi City.
