Chapter 91
Gu Kai's footsteps paused, he shoved Shan Shan in his arms into his father's arms behind him, and went to open the door after crossing Shen Cong.
But he was pulled by Shen Cong. "Wear a protective suit, the bugs are poisonous!"
After that, she didn't care how to explain how she knew to the unknowing family tree and Shi Chen, and said loudly: "Don't fight bugs, save people! If the insect bites too much, people will die!"
Then she put down Tongtong, let go of her husband's hand, and turned around to open the small cabinet where the farm tools were kept at the entrance of the stairs.
With the cabinet as a cover, she grabbed a stack of disposable raincoats from the space and handed it to everyone.
After that, he flew into the living room, and took out a pack of sunscreen ice silk mask that could cover the whole head and face under the cover of the house.
After distributing the masks to everyone, Shen Cong instructed again: "The mouthparts of the insect are poisonous, don't go grab food, save people!" After everyone put on the masks
, she took a deep breath and quickly pulled Open the gate.
Because the entire Shen family villa was covered with a net by her. I can feel the fear when I am at home, but because I know the bugs can't get in, I am not so panicked.
As soon as the door was opened, countless bugs swarmed from the gap.
Looking at the black insects that suddenly poured in, Shen Xi, who was left at home to take care of the children, couldn't help screaming first, and then Shan Shan cried even more in horror.
What followed was thumping, screaming, and just listening to the sound, you could feel the fear of several people in the yard.
But the young couple who came out of the courtyard, as well as Father Shen, Old Man Gu, Shi Chen and the family tree, can't take care of them now.
In such an instant, they were also surrounded by bugs.
The black mist-like bugs pounced on them as if they had found fresh prey.
Even through the clothes, you can feel the force of them rushing to the body, a sting of being repeatedly hit by small objects.
Although fully armed, there are still naked eyes - exposed.
So the eyes that only exposed a line immediately became the main target of the insects.
Even though he immediately lowered his head and covered his eyes, Shen Cong felt the burning pain in the corner of his eyes for the first time.
She knew that the place must have been bitten by bugs.
She took out a transparent plastic bag as quickly as possible, took out the breathing port, and shone it on her head, tying the bottom part of her neck tightly, covering her entire head and face inside.
Then he waved away the bugs and distributed a stack of plastic bags to the family members who were also stung by the bugs.
Although such a shape is extremely weird, no one cares anymore.
Everyone imitated Shen Cong's appearance and wrapped their heads, only tearing out a small vent to ensure breathing.
Then, waving brooms, palm fans, and even mops to the crowded areas of the community.
Everyone kept Shen Cong's words firmly in mind and didn't fight the bugs.
As they ran, they shouted loudly at people: "Go back to the house, go back to the house! The insect is poisonous, don't be bitten by it!
Don't want anything, go back! Protect yourself first!"
At the same time, they also put the plastic bag , a disposable raincoat is stuffed into the hands of every resident you meet.
The insects that came suddenly confused everyone.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the people's life in the community has returned to normal.
Regardless of whether the people in the courtyard are in good condition or not, everyone has the heart to celebrate.
Celebrate that you and your family are still alive, and hope that the days ahead will be better and better.
But who would have thought that these damn bugs would choose to appear at this time!
When the bugs came, everyone really didn't understand what was going on at first.
Many people even regarded the cloud as a dark cloud, wondering if it was going to rain?
After the bugs rushed over and everyone finally realized what had happened, everyone's attention was shocked by their destructive power.
It really is - wherever it goes, nothing is left.
These worms devoured the few holly leaves left by the roadside, and gnawed the weeds in the wasteland and along the seam of the ground.
Because the people in the original community were informed, they also made preparations in advance and covered the vegetables and grains planted outside early.
Then the two of Shen Cong and his wife protected the cornfield again. Everyone felt like they had installed double insurance. They didn't take these bugs seriously. They thought that after making so many preparations, everything would be safe.
But who would have thought that these damn bugs could even eat bamboo strips!
The bamboo baskets, plaques, and baskets that were covered by the vegetable boxes were eaten by them, and only the frame on the edge was left. It is made of thin bamboo pieces, and there is not even a frame left.
The vegetables and seedlings that are protected inside are eaten cleanly by them with stems and leaves!
Except for the ones that were planted in the house, or the ones that could be moved back into the house early, the fruits of labor that the residents had worked so hard to plant, actually disappeared before everyone's eyes.
How can people not be angry!
This is everyone's ration, this is the hope of the residents!
The furious residents took out their brooms, beats, mosquito sprays, and even towels and sheets, waving wildly and bashing, trying to drive these ghosts away and beat them to death!
But there are too many of them.
He can't kill him even if he is beaten, and he can't finish it. Even if he is not careful, he will be surrounded by bugs, and they will bite a lot of small holes on his body.
These bugs are like devils and seem to eat everything.
They not only eat leaves, eat vegetables, and even bloodthirsty.
Whenever someone is bitten, or is bruised or bruised when rescuing vegetables... Those dog things will become like flies and smell the fishy smell, sticking closely to the person's wound, and they will not disperse. .
Moreover, the more friends and the more they get together, the more they get together, until they wrap people alive like a worm.
When Gu Kai and the others rushed into the crowd, they had already seen several people covered with bugs, and then lay on the ground and rolled around and wailed.
Their relatives surrounded them, crying, desperately using cloth and slapping them with their hands.
Even if he is bitten by insects, he can't care.
And more people are scared desperately to run away.
Gu Kai and Old Man Gu pushed the crowd away, and wrapped them from head to toe with raincoats to isolate them from the swarm.
Shen Cong also threw more disposable raincoats to the family members and let them put them on themselves.
Because when these people are fighting with insects, it is difficult to ensure that there are no wounds from bites.
Shi Chen, Jiashu and the others were also distributing raincoats, and at the same time they shouted again and again to let people go home.
In fact, they don't need to shout now, most people have been scared by these bugs and ran to their homes one after another.
"Rinse the wound with clean water when you go back! If you have soapy water, rinse it with soapy water!" Old Man Gu shouted loudly from behind.
The family members and the old man escorted those people to the property department together, and Shen Cong also followed.
And Gu Kai and the others took the disposable raincoats that had not been distributed and continued to run towards other places in the courtyard...
These bugs didn't stay in the community for a long time, and it was just over an hour from the time they left. time.
But the damage left to people is huge.
Two people were seriously injured, their bodies were red, swollen and festering, and they were already in shock before they arrived at the property.
In this case, the only thing everyone can do is to take them to the hospital immediately.
Others who were bitten by insects also came to the property to receive anti-allergy medicines as requested by the old man, and in serious cases, they were given anti-inflammatory drugs and calamine lotion.
And this is only a remedy for the injured body, but no one can make up for the lost property.
There is not a single family in the entire community that has not suffered losses.
Even if the Shen family had prepared enough in advance, all the vegetables near the railing had been eaten up.
Especially those loofahs, beans, and even the stems and leaves that grew around the railings were gnawed bare, and the ungrown fruits and vegetables fell to the ground.
This is because the insects can't get in, so the vegetables in the net are not much lost.
Others do not use iron nets, and there are no connecting rods left!
The large army of Insect Tide has left, but there are still many remaining soldiers left.
They lie on the outer wall of the house, on the windows, under the eaves, and whenever there is a little space in the house, they will try their best to drill into the house.
Not to mention those who were unprepared before and followed in when the doors and windows were opened.
After they entered the house, they were also crazy, biting what they saw, eating what they saw, like gluttonous food, like demons, and every household would hear cursing, screaming, and beating from time to time.
In addition to the remaining worms, there are tens of thousands, or even completely uncountable, worms that have dropped the scales of their wings and the scale powder on them, which make the air so filthy that it makes it difficult to breathe.
If you open your mouth a little bit wider when you speak, it is possible to eat a mouthful.
Without wearing a mask, it is basically impossible to breathe, and within a few minutes, it will become dry and itchy from the nose to the throat, and it always feels full of foreign objects.
Even so, people at this time did not feel hopeless, after all, they had just experienced an unprecedented earthquake and drought not long ago.
When Lao Cao took the people on the property and held loudspeakers to publicize loudly in the community, asking people to close the doors and windows, not to allow insects to enter;
to let people check the place where food is stored, and not to let insects crawl in and cause pollution, when people Although they all followed suit, they did not panic.
Everyone believes that they are national-level planting bases anyway, and the state will give them minimum living guarantees.
Even if the vegetables and grains that were planted are gone, after the dead insects are completely gone, it is no big deal to replant them again.
At most, a few months of hard work was in vain.
But there is a formation in the courtyard, and the fruits and vegetables don't grow slowly, and it shouldn't take long before everything will be normal.
Those who have been honed through too many years have a strong heart.
Even if the disaster has just happened, everyone is optimistic about the future, thinking that this is just a temporary disaster, and the past is over.
At this time, people didn't realize that their war with bugs would be a protracted war, and it would not end in just over an hour.
The author has something to say:
The unit has been a little busy in the past few days, especially very tired. No more tonight, tomorrow's update will be in the afternoon or evening, I will try to finish it as soon as possible. See you tomorrow guys.
It is a routine recommendation to pre-pay for the list!
The next book is open: "Rebirth back to the day when the natural disaster came"
"Mom, wake up, we have to find my dad quickly."
The moment Ke Bei opened his eyes, the first thing he heard was this sentence.
Then he felt light on his leg, and the heavy stone on it was lifted by the boy who was under six years old in front of him and threw it aside.
When the pain hit, she suddenly woke up, and only then did she realize that she was reborn, and the rebirth went back to the moment before the natural disaster.
She came back with her son Cheng Tian, ââwho was born after the end of the world.
"Can you get up? Hurry up, the bridge is about to collapse!"
Before she could respond, his son picked her up, slapped her on his shoulders and ran away.
Lying on Zizai's back, Ke Bei silently closed his eyes and understood -
Xiao Zai'er's ability also came back with him.
--Cheng
Gan opened a car repair shop after he retired from the army, and the business was good. In addition, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and the life is beautiful.
Until one day the bridge in the city collapsed, a woman found him with a child and said to him--
"I am your wife, he is your son. Come with us, our family will die together!"
Cheng Gan: "..."
I have never talked about love, where did my wife and son come from? !
Copy 2: "Saving the Villain Cubs from Infinite Natural Disasters"
Ten years after the end of the world, the couple Shao Qi and Le Xuan died surrounded by wolves.
Woke up again and found that they were jointly bound to a system called "Saving the Villain Cubs from Another World".
The system requires them to travel in different worlds to save those cubs who are either blackened or dead due to natural disasters, suffering, man-made frame-ups, etc., and become their parents.
If the mission fails, they will return to the moment when they were surrounded by wolves before their death, and experience the pain of being bitten by the wolves again;
and when the mission is finally completed, they will be able to choose a world they like to stay and realize Shao Qi's wish before death.
Le Xuan turned his head: "What wish did you make before you died?"
Shao Qi: "...forgot."
For this forgotten wish, the two began to travel in various small worlds, saving the cubs, and trying to be a good pair of parents.
Apocalypse 1: The world of biological alienation, rescue the genius boy who was forgotten by the scientific research boss in the laboratory;
Apocalypse 2: Plant mutation, poisonous, looking for a blind daughter;
Apocalypse 3: Natural disaster, extreme cold, with twin daughters to survive;
Apocalypse Four: Reiki, supernatural ability, lying on the back of the genius son Xianyu;
...
A few years later, Shao Qi and Le Xuan watched the six cubs they raised and took the position of the leader of the base at a young age. Comfortable.
The two waved their sleeves without a cloud, and left quietly, returning to the original world.
Standing at the door of the former small house, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when he pushed the door and entered, he met six pairs of resentful eyes at the same time.
"Dad! Mom!"
Looking at the noisy cubs in the house, Le Xuan rubbed his brows and turned his head: "Isn't your wish to go home and live together?"
Shao Qi: "..."
There is more One sentence - and our children.
Chapter 92
After returning home, Cheng Ru, who stayed at home, had already boiled the water as Lao Cao and the others advertised outside.
The few people who went home all threw the changed coats and trousers into a large basin filled with boiling water to soak and disinfect according to her request.
Fortunately, they all wore raincoats when they went out, and they didn't get too much dirt on their clothes.
Shen Xi took out the medicine box, took out iodophor and disinfectant from it to help everyone smear the wound.
Although Shen Cong took out a plastic bag and put it over their heads only a minute or two after they went out, a few people were still stung with bruises.
Especially the family tree, there are several large bumps on the bridge of the nose and the corner of the eyes, and the eyes are so swollen that they can't open.
He rubbed his eyes and complained in a low voice, "What kind of worms are these? They look like they have teeth. I can feel them biting my flesh. It hurts to death!
" Glancing at Shen Cong, he muttered: "The raincoat given by my sister-in-law doesn't work either."
The old man who was giving him medicine patted his hand away and scolded, "Don't move! It's just disinfected."
Then he explained: "The raincoat is to keep out the smell, otherwise you'll have to pack a few more bags on your face!"
Jiashu said nothing.
In fact, there are more professional protective clothing in Shen Cong's space.
Back then, she came back to the present because she was bitten to death by an insect. She was very jealous of insect bites, and she was even more obsessed with it.
All kinds of defense supplies I bought after I came back were incredible.
In addition to the one-piece insect repellent jacket, fully enclosed hood, fully corseted underpants, and anti-cut gloves and foot covers, she also bought fully enclosed large-frame glasses and even a gas helmet.
Not to mention bugs, viruses can't even get in.
But the point is - in such an emergency, she couldn't take it out at all.
Otherwise, how do you explain it to people?
Of course, there is another reason why Shen Cong chose to take a disposable raincoat, that is, the toxins secreted by these insects' mouthparts act on the land, causing huge pollution.
But the toxicity is not so high when it is aimed at the human body.
Unless the bite is too serious and the wounds are too many, the occasional bite is not a big problem except for the pain, as long as the wound infection is prevented.
Being able to think so much in such an urgent situation, and being able to quickly choose to take out a disposable raincoat, Shen Cong felt that he had already responded quickly and thoughtfully.
So when Jiashu complained, she just grabbed the cotton wool bag on the table and threw it at him as a warning, and then ignored him again.
"I have to go back to the regiment, I'll go back immediately."
Gu Kai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said something after everyone had finally healed the wound.
"Why are you going back?" Shen Cong, who had closed his eyes, leaned on the sofa and rested, sat up straight and asked.
"Go back and ripen the grains that are about to ripen. You can harvest as much as you can." Gu Kai replied.
He is very remorseful now.
Regret why I didn't think of this method before?
If I thought of it earlier, would it be possible to reduce the losses of each base to a minimum?
Although the wife repeatedly said how terrible the insect plague was, they still underestimated the enemy.
It's not that she doesn't believe what Shen Cong said, mainly because according to the timeline she said, it will take half a year for the bugs to come.
Therefore, after doing the preparatory work, Gu Kai never thought about ripening the plants.
After all, no one knows when the bugs will come, and he can't ripen all the plants half a year in advance.
Really do that, and then what?
Will the crops be planted or not?
If the bugs don't come, the land will be deserted. Everyone has been waiting?
And doing so would waste a lot of fine stone.
At the same time, he was the only one in Beining who had wood-type abilities, so it was impossible for him to be busy even if he was exhausted.
Therefore, the ripening plan has not been considered by anyone before.
However, who would have thought that these things would come so quickly, so people were caught off guard!
Thinking of this, Gu Kai only felt regretful.
"I'll go back first, I can run to one more place if I can." He said and stood up.
"You can go back if you want, I won't stop you.
It's just that you have to be mentally prepared. This plague of insects is coming from the east, which means that they should have passed through Beining before coming to the community.
If there is anything else...you have to run again . Fast, can they be fast? When you run back to Beining, it is estimated that they have already flown all around."
"Also," Shen Cong paused: "The reason why this insect plague is called a disaster means that they will definitely not. This is the one time.
Maybe you can meet them again on
the road. Just their pervasive energy, if they enter the exhaust pipe or other places, I'm afraid that you can't get out of the city and the car will break down halfway. "
You said that these bugs will come again?"
Not only Gu Kai, but everyone in the room was shocked by Shen Cong's words, and no one even paid attention to why she knew such a detailed question.
Everyone looked over and stared nervously at Shen Cong.
"I think they will come, but... who knows?"
Shen Cong didn't say it too hard, after all, she really couldn't explain the basis for what she said.
But apart from Jiashu and Shi Chen, everyone else in the family could already hear that what she said was true.
Even Jiashu and Shi Chen did not doubt her words.
Perhaps it is because her predictions have been successful again and again, and she has been able to prevent troubles from happening again and again. Everyone has become accustomed to trust her unconditionally.
"Brother, don't go back. My sister-in-law is right. No matter how fast you run, you can still have bugs running fast? They'll all be eaten when you get back to the city."
Jiashu sighed and said.
Gu Kai's hands clenched tightly into fists.
He knew that what his wife and cousin said were right, but the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt unwilling.
Perhaps this is also related to his ability to be of the wood type. Seeing all the crops that are about to be harvested disappear into the mouth of the insect, Gu Kai's distress is beyond description.
"Instead of running back in a hurry, you might as well contact Wei Yan as soon as possible. The
reason why he hasn't come back yet, I think it may be because he encountered the bug wave earlier than us.
Wei Yan holds the If there is a satellite phone, he must have already informed the regiment of the situation. It doesn't make much sense for you to run back like this.
On the contrary, let's find him quickly and let him tell the regiment that it is more important to guard against the second influx of insects. "Shen Cong said seriously.
Wei Yan!
After being so busy, everyone almost forgot about Wei Yan not coming back.
At this moment, after being reminded by Shen Cong, he realized that the reason why he didn't rush back for the reunion dinner was that the biggest possibility was that he had encountered an insect wave.
"He should be at Qingshan Town."
"Indeed, the insects flew over from Qingshan."
Everyone recalled at this time, and then they reacted with hindsight.
"Why don't we go find Wei Yan?" Jiashu couldn't sit still anymore.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go look for it. Brother, you stay at home with your sister-in-law. If there is anything, you can also discuss it.
I'll go to him, and if he doesn't come back with anything, it's convenient for me to send a message in the middle.
Uncle Shen, let me use your car, I'll drive. "
"Where did you find it?" I don't even know where he is. With such a big incident, he definitely won't be in town right now. "
Father Shen disagrees. At this moment, he doesn't want to let any of the children go out, in case they are in danger again.
Gu Kai also disagrees.
The reasons for his disagreement are different from those of Father Shen.
"You are not familiar with the town government. If you can't find Wei Yan, you can't do anything.
Let me go. The town government has a phone, and the phone line there has been connected.
No matter how I say it, I am also a member of the working group, and they will definitely not stop me when I apply for a call. "
Knowing that he couldn't sit still, the family stopped persuading him.
Shen Cong ran to the top floor and dug some soil near the railings and asked him to take it to Wei Yan, so that he remembered to remind the working group to consider the land. The problem of pollution.
Jiashu insisted on going with Gu Kai, saying that the two would take care of each other if they encountered a swarm of insects along the way.
I didnât expect the old man to be unwilling this time. The
old man stopped him: âIâll go with Xiao Kai. , you stay at home. I also want to stop by the town hospital and talk to Vice President Zhang about the problem of dispensing medicine. The medicine in the community is definitely not enough. When
he said this, everyone thought it was normal, but Shen Cong felt that this should be an excuse.
The community is now a national-level planting base, and its ration is guaranteed by the city. Even if there is a shortage of medicine, the city should apply for it. , what happened to Guanrenjia Town Hospital?
Father-in-law thought of the follow-up from the plague of insects. He mentioned that it is very likely that the heavy rain will follow and the plague will form again after the heavy rain.
Father-in-law was also frightened by the insect tide. , want to plan ahead before disaster strikes again.
When Gu Kai and the old man left, they didn't take anything with them.
The two of them thought that they were going to the town to make a phone call.
But what everyone didn't expect was that after they left, it would be several months before they met again.
Not long after Gu Kai and the old man left, Shi Lei and Lao Cao came to the door.
The two of them were sloppy, and there was mucus sprayed by insects on their bodies, exuding an unpleasant smell.
It can be seen that from the time the bug came to the present, the two have not had time to rest.
They also knew that they couldn't enter the house like this, so they just stood in the yard and talked to Shen Cong and the others.
As always, they first expressed their thanks to Shen Cong and the whole family.
It is said that I have just been to the cornfield, and the damage there is not large. It can be said that it is the least affected place in the whole community.
Although the edge of the field was also fenced with a bamboo fence, the bamboo was wrapped with vines, which provided a good isolation effect.
They went to see it just now. The current situation is that many of the vines have been bitten by insects, and some of the bamboo fences have also been lost, but the number of insects entering the fields is almost negligible.
All those crops were saved.
The meaning of the two of them coming this time, one is to express their gratitude, and the other is to ask Gu Kai if he can replant those vines?
This way, you don't have to worry about any more bugs that want to crawl inside.
"We're just here to ask, if Xiao Gu is too tired, forget it. Anyway, most of the bugs have flown away, and the rest are not good.
No, we can use some insecticide to resist for a while." Shi Lei said.
"There is no problem with replanting, but Gu Kai isn't here now, we have to wait until he comes back tomorrow. He and my dad went to the town to find Wei Yan.
You know that guy who values ââcrops more than anything else. Today, it made him unable to sit still, and he was anxious to see what was going on in other places. "Shen Cong said.
After hearing this, Shi Lei sighed: "Xiao Gu doesn't usually talk much, but he has a really good heart. Alas, you have to pay attention to safety on this road, and the insects don't know where they are going. "
Old Cao also said: "It's not just Xiao Gu, your family is all good.
I told Shi Lei just now, if it weren't for you, Xiaoying Village would have been miserable this time. Their land is bigger than ours!
If they can keep those potatoes this time, thank you very much! Shen Cong smiled, and instead of
answering their flattering words, he reminded: "Two captains, let's not talk about being polite, let's talk about the serious things first.
Although the bugs are flying away now, who knows if they will come or not, we have to prepare both hands. "
When Shen Cong said this, the smiles on their faces disappeared.
"Xiao Shen, what do you mean...the bug will come again?" "
It's hard to say, but I think I need to prepare more. Captain, please tell the people in the courtyard that the things that can be moved into the house should be moved in.
Even if the vegetables are eaten, the soil is good soil that we raised. The mouthparts of the worm are poisonous, you can see what happened to the person who was bitten.
If they fall on the soil, then if our soil is polluted again..."
"I see. Before Shen Cong could finish speaking, Lao Cao interrupted her: "I'll go talk now. After he finished speaking ,
he didn't even wait for the others to answer, and left with a trot all the way.
Shen Cong didn't care, and continued: "Captain Shi, before my dad left just now, my dad gave us a special account, asking me to tell you a little bit, and let me persuade me to persuade me." Advise people in the community not to compete with bugs.
The thing is gone, no matter how heavy it is, it doesn't make sense to fight with bugs, that is, you are angry with yourself.
Can dodge or dodge for a while, so many, can't finish fighting. There are not many medicines in our community. If you run out, you can only endure the bite of insects. "
I understand, that's what we told everyone just now. "Shi Lei sighed.
"It's just that the breath is really hard to swallow, who doesn't feel distressed?" Forget it, I'll try to persuade. Of
course Shen Cong understood.
She didn't continue, and continued: "In addition, the corpses of insects must be cleaned up quickly, and they cannot be left in the ground. "
Well, it's already being prepared." Now the main thing is to kill those in the cornfield first, and see the other day and the day after tomorrow. The main reason is that there is not enough disinfectant in our community. If the insects don't fly away, it is estimated that we will not be able to kill them all..."
Shen Cong told Shi Lei some of the methods that he knew about the control of the insect infestation.
But in fact, everyone knows these methods. Whether it can be used depends on the situation.
The biggest problem now is whether there will be insects coming, and the other is that the pesticides are not enough.
No one goes out in the afternoon. The
roof is full of Wuyang and Wuyang . Insects, and they are still alive, they are disgusting to look at, and they can't eat their food at a glance. The
children are all staying in the house, all of them are super good, no one asks to go out to see, they are all scared It's broken.
The adults went to check the various gaps in the house separately, to see if they could be blocked, or if they could be sticky, in case the bugs crawled in without paying attention.
No one slept well that night, Shen Cong had a dream all night.
Either he dreamed of fighting against bugs in his previous life, or he dreamed that Gu Kai and their car were surrounded by bugs.
Before six o'clock, he woke himself up and woke up only after he woke up. She found that her back was wet with sweat.
She couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up and came out of the house.
As soon as the bedroom door was pushed open, Shen Cong was stunned for a moment.
Because the outside of the Shen family's house is a whole large balcony, and the balcony is also a walkway, so you can see the outside scene when you go out.
But today, when Shen Cong came out, he found that he couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, and it looked like the sky had not yet dawned outside.
She covered her nose, trying to ignore the stench of the worms rushing into her nose. She deliberately looked at her watch and found that it was five forty-five in the morning.
Shouldn't it be?
You must know that it is summer all the time, and the days are still long and the nights are short, and the day is full at five in the morning.
Shen Cong stood for a while, unable to understand the reason, so he rubbed his eyes and walked downstairs.
As a result, before reaching the stairs, I heard a terrified scream from outside!
Shen Cong was so frightened that he ran downstairs subconsciously.
As a result, as soon as they got down to the first floor, before rushing into the yard, he was firmly held by Shen's father who was standing on the side.
Shen Cong's face was stunned, and his originally slumbered brain immediately woke up.
She bit her lip and suppressed the scream that came to her mouth.
Then he patted his chest hard, and then he forced himself to ask calmly, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Father Shen didn't speak, just stretched out a hand and pointed at the iron net.
Shen Cong only felt that his father's hand was wet and sticky, and it was covered in cold sweat.
She looked up in the direction of her father's finger, and all the sweat all over her body disappeared and her pores shrunk.
Only then did she realize that the reason why she thought it was not yet dawn was because the roof of her house was all covered with bugs!
The worms were densely packed, layer upon layer, black and dark, so much that it was horrifying to see at a glance.
They are next to each other, all crowded together, they just block the light tightly, not a single bit can penetrate.
Although Father Shen had already caught Shen Cong, he would not let her make a sound.
But she still disturbed these insects when she opened the door and went downstairs.
They moved suddenly, making a harsh humming sound.
The sound was getting louder and louder, and it was also mixed with the sound of wings flapping and the sound of biting.
Even if I experienced a pest disaster in my previous life, there were not so many bugs in the community at that time!
And at that time, Shen Cong had been huddled in the villa, and never went out!
She had never experienced such a terrifying situation.
Shen Cong only felt that her whole body was about to suffocate, her throat was tight, and the pressure in her chest made her chest hurt!
She wanted to shout out loudly and shout out all the fear in her heart, but before she opened her mouth, she was tightly covered by Shen Jianyi, who had been prepared.
Shen Cong's legs were weak, and he couldn't even say a word relying on his father.
Shen Jianyi dragged her back to the room, only to realize that her mother was already sitting inside.
I don't know when the old couple started and what kind of fear they experienced.
The room was very dark. Cheng Ru sat in the room and didn't even dare to turn on the light. She curled up in the corner of the sofa and shivered.
She seemed to be afraid of bugs on the ground, so she didn't even dare to take off her shoes, so she just sat on the sofa.
Seeing her daughter come in, Cheng Ru reached out and hugged Shen Cong into her arms, holding her tightly, tears could not stop flowing down, but she didn't dare to say a word.
"Don't shout, they will move when they hear the sound. Don't wake your sister and the others. Let the children sleep as long as they can."
After a while, Shen Jianyi finally made sure that Shen Cong had recovered a little. said quietly.
Shen Cong nodded.
It is a blessing to be able to fall asleep at this time.
So small children, let them experience this early to do what?
She can't even think about who was screaming outside just now.
It doesn't matter who it is. I think it should be someone like her. When I woke up, I was frightened by the scene in front of me.
Fortunately, Dad covered her mouth, otherwise Shen Cong wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would scream worse than that person just now?
Seeing that her daughter had not spoken, Shen Jianyi couldn't hold back.
He asked worriedly: "Monggong, is the same with the insect plagues you encountered before?"
Shen Cong shook his head: "No, I have never seen so many insects. Let alone the community, the whole Beining didn't grow much food.
It is estimated that there is too little food to eat, so there are not as many insects as they are now."
Speaking of which, she couldn't help but shivered again.
If she had seen so many bugs when she was at home in a previous life... Shen Cong felt that she might not have survived to the end, and she might have returned a year earlier.
Therefore, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Now that there is more food, people's life is better, but who can think that there will be more insects.
After listening to her daughter's words, Shen Jianyi was also speechless.
He sighed: "I just looked at it, and there are more insects on our net than when the insect swarms flew over and stayed the most.
I don't know when they came last night. How many batches came?"
"No matter how many batches come, the cornfield will definitely not be able to be preserved." Shen Cong said in a deep voice.
There was silence again in the house.
Who could not know about this?
In addition to the corn in the community, the potatoes in Xiaoying Village are definitely gone.
And this is still the best place for protection, what about other gathering points?
What will happen?
It must be all -
busy for more than half a year, and once returned to before liberation.
"God, this is not letting people live!" Cheng Ru, who was sitting on the side, didn't hold back, and finally burst out crying.
She covered her mouth with her hand and didn't dare to make a sound, but the more she held it in, the more uncomfortable it became, and finally her whole body began to tremble.
Shen Cong took her mother into her arms and silently helped her back, but couldn't say a word of consolation.
What can she say?
Said: "Yeah, God just doesn't want us to live. Every day we work hard, we are fighting against God. Can Bo live a little longer, and whether Bo can control our destiny in our own hands."
At this moment, Shen Cong was also a little disheartened.
The family tree is the second to rise.
No one knows what happened when he went out. Anyway, when he entered the living room, his whole body was shaking, his face was dull, the soles of his feet seemed to be fluttering, and he walked with corners.
At this time, the old couple and Shen Cong had already reorganized their emotions, and no one was crying anymore.
It's just that the old lady's mood is broken, and it is impossible to cook anymore.
Shen Cong could only take out some pre-made pancakes and miscellaneous grain porridge from the space, and put them on the table for everyone to make do.
Seeing the family tree, she didn't say a word, but pointed to the table, motioning him to eat by himself.
But the family tree obviously has no appetite.
He was standing very far in the living room, but his eyes kept looking outside, staring at the bugs, his eyes were not wrong.
I don't even know what I'm looking at.
"Aren't you disgusting?" Staring at him for a long time, Shen Cong couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
Hearing her words, Jiashu asked hesitantly: "Sister-in-law, this all flew over last night? We have such a thick iron net, they are all bent, then you say, my uncle's car Will something happen?
When they fly over, my uncle and my brother won't be in the car, right?"
"No!" Shen Cong interrupted him without hesitation.
Jiashu's words reminded her of the dream she had last night.
Even if I am sober now and know that those are fake, I can't help but feel irritated after hearing this.
"What nonsense are you talking about! They just go to town and arrive in an hour. How could they be in the car at night? There is no place to live in town.
If you say that they can't come back temporarily when they encounter insects, it's possible, Nothing else!
Don't talk nonsense in the morning!"
Seeing that Shen Cong was on fire, Jiashu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately became embarrassed.
He quickly echoed: "Sure, my brother and my uncle will be fine. Oh, I just slept in a daze. I'm just thinking about it here, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart."
Shen Cong already realized his reaction at this moment . Excessive, but she didn't want to apologize to Jiashu.
After all, this kid's words made her feel flustered and couldn't help but feel flustered.
Reasonably told Shen Cong that her husband and the others would be fine, but thinking about the scene outside, his heart still felt like a mess, which made people restless.
She simply stood up and walked over to Jiashu, and asked, "You said the net was bent? Where did it bend, why didn't I see it?"
Jiashu pointed to the top of their heads: "Look, that's not the case in several places. It's collapsed. Sister-in-law, do you still have any materials, can you reinforce it? Why do I feel flustered when I look at it?"
Shen Cong looked in the direction of Jiashu's fingers, and sure enough, he saw that the iron nets in several places had already collapsed. showing a dented state.
Obviously, there were too many bugs on it, and the net could not bear the weight and was bent.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Shen Cong clearly remembered that when she went downstairs just now, those places were fine, and there was absolutely no sign of being bent.
From when she got up to when the family tree got up, there was no more than half an hour in total.
Could it be that the bugs haven't come yet, and there are more swarming here?
Chapter 93
"No, I can't watch it anymore, I'm going to vomit."
After staring at the black roof for a while, Shen Cong tugged at the family tree: "Let's go up and put away those shelves."
"What kind of shelves?" A bit unresponsive.
"The ones on the top floor and to the side."
"Sister-in-law, can we set the fire on fire?" Jiashu's eyes lit up immediately.
He proposed to set the worms on fire last night, but the family was unwilling.
It was the afternoon when the insects flew over, and after the insect tide passed, it was dark after a little slowness.
Now the weather is too dry and there is a lack of water. Careless operation at night can easily cause a fire.
There is another one that everyone is worried that if this bug has some kind of phototaxis, if a little fire and then attract those who have not come to the community, it will really be over.
So even if Jiashu lobbied repeatedly, Shen Jianyi refused to agree.
I thought that other families in the community had the same idea, at least before they went to bed, they didn't see a fire burning in the courtyard.
Now, as soon as Shen Cong said to put away the shelf near the railing, Jiashu immediately thought of his suggestion from yesterday.
"Well, burn them!" Shen Cong gritted his teeth.
The flower stands by the railings were all made of materials that Shen Cong had removed from the steel frame house. They were all metal shelves, and it was easy for her to disassemble them.
The family tree went to call Shi Chen, and the three of Shen's father cooperated to move all the dishevelled vegetable pots on the shelves to the third floor, while Shen Cong directly dismantled the shelves into small pieces. Son.
Be prepared to keep them for later to reinforce the wire mesh.
It was impossible for Shen Xi and the children not to know about their big movement.
But because it didn't take so many people to dismantle the shelves, she and Shen's mother stayed in the house to watch the children and did not follow them out.
The four of them not only dismantled all the vegetable gardens on the top floor, but also carried the vegetable racks made in the backyard into the living room. For a while, the house was crowded and no one could get in.
When the outside was almost empty, and after checking all the unsafe items that might be ignited, Jiashu rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Burn it?"
"Burn!" Father Shen nodded heavily. nodded.
Seeing that they were about to act, the children in the house gave up, and they all ran out regardless of the adults' stop.
Including Shan Shan, who was so frightened and crying yesterday, also held her mother's hand tightly and walked into the middle of the yard.
Cheng Ru took out the thick bamboo pole that was originally used for drying clothes.
The family tree was cut into four parts with a knife, and one part was given to Shi Chen, Father Shen, and Shen Cong, and the remaining part was held in his own hands.
There were no rags at home, so Shenxi tore up the small T-shirts Tongtong and Shanshan wore yesterday, and helped them wrap them around the bamboo poles.
The two little guys were rolling around on the ground yesterday, and the T-shirts were already dirty.
After dipping the T-shirt in a basin filled with oil, the four of them took it up to the top floor, while the others stood downstairs and watched.
When I came upstairs, I lit the homemade torch with a lighter, and the family tree was the first to stretch it towards the iron net in front of me.
With the sound of sizzling, a scorched smell rushed into everyone's nose instantly.
Then there was a burst of crackling, and all the bugs lying on the iron net instantly rioted!
They flapped their wings desperately to escape, and the vibrations they generated disturbed the worms next to them... With
a bang, a large number of worms jumped away from the iron net, flapping the scales on the fallen wings, and the dust fans couldn't keep their eyes open.
There was an vacancy in the place directly in front of the few people.
"Okay! They've all run away!" Jiashu shouted excitedly through the mask.
"Burn! Burn them!" Father Shen also raised his spirits.
Everyone divided into four directions and extended the torches to the iron net.
Shen Cong and Shen's father used the most common burning method, that is, they put the torches on the iron net, burn one piece to death or scare away a group, and then change the place.
Jiashu and Shichen were tall, so they raised the torches directly above their heads and waved them as they walked, specifically to deal with the insects covering the iron net above the roof.
Metal conducts heat just fine, and even though they only burn the mesh above the top floor, the mesh that hangs over the entire house is getting warmer.
Even the densely packed, layer-by-layer insects above the open space in the backyard flew away in horror because of the smell of vegetables in the yard.
As the smoke started to rise, the smell of burnt stench spread, and the roof of the Shen family was finally able to see the sun outside.
Children are happiest when they see the bugs run away.
They had even forgotten the fears of yesterday, and they all rushed to the top floor cheering.
Cheng Ru and Shen Xi couldn't stop them, they couldn't catch them, they could only shout and follow.
"Be careful, don't touch the railings! Sister, look at them!"
Looking at these little brats, Shen Cong kept burning the bugs while not forgetting to warn loudly.
Seeing the bugs burned to death from below and being scared away is really fun, but the upstairs is really not a good place.
The sun has come out at this moment, and it is as hot as ever, shining bright light on everyone from above the iron net that has been emptied without hesitation.
The top of my head is so roasted by the sun, I still have a torch in my hand, and the iron net around me is even more scalding hot...
That taste is even more uncomfortable than staying in a dry steam room for a long time.
Not only that, the key is stinky!
The smoky fire and the peculiar smell emitted by the scorched insect corpse, even the few people upstairs wearing masks felt that the smoke was too bad, and tears flowed down.
So seeing the cubs coming up, no one gave them a good wink.
Father Shen even stared at the eldest daughter: "Take them down, what a mess!" But
the children didn't think they were making trouble at all, and they didn't even think it was uncomfortable to be here.
Maybe the horror the bugs brought them yesterday was too deep, and the three little guys hated them.
Seeing them being chased away, they were all overjoyed.
Seeing that Grandpa was about to drive them down again, in order to show that he did not eat rice, Can Can waved his hand, and a layer of fine mist-like water droplets appeared in the space on the top floor.
Although the fine mist was instantly evaporated by the high temperature, it still brought a moment of refreshment to the four people who were about to suffer from heat stroke.
Get people excited.
"Cantan, more!" Jiashu was overjoyed and shouted directly.
"Hey!" Cancan heard this, proudly puffed out her small chest, and ran to the front of the family tree, throwing another fine mist at him.
In exchange, the family tree gave her a compliment.
Seeing that Sister Cancan has been praised by the adults, Shan Shan tilts her head and thinks about it.
She broke away from her mother's hand, ran to her aunt, and then held Shen Cong's hand.
Sweaty Shen Cong only felt a coolness spread down her arms to her whole body, and she was so unprepared that she shivered from the agitation.
Shen Cong lowered her head and looked at her niece's look full of anticipation. After she was speechless, she could only praise her: "Shan Shan is awesome!"
Then she said to her, "You stay away from Auntie, it's a little dangerous here."
"I can't keep burning like this. Get two pots and try it with smoke?" Shen Xi came over and picked up her daughter again, then suggested.
"Alright, anyway, it's almost burned. The net is so hot, they won't come over for a while." Shen Cong wiped his sweat and nodded in approval.
She actually knew in her heart that burning the bugs like this was not a complete solution at all.
But if there are still insects flying over, it will be too laborious.
Shen Cong now used the dismantled flower stands to make four metal pots.
They took some of the shavings and sawdust that had been left on purpose to set fire to the house before renovating the house, and put them on fire, sprinkled some fly ashes from the corpse, and placed the pots on the four sides of the top floor, and the group went downstairs.
And when they went downstairs, they had already seen blue smoke coming out from all directions in the yard, and it was obvious that someone had started to burn worms.
After all, the Shen family was the most concerned family in the whole community, and they made such a big noise early in the morning, it was hard not to get noticed.
Seeing that they started to burn worms, and it was very effective, naturally someone followed suit.
It didn't take long for people on the property to start shouting around the community with loudspeakers again.
What they shouted this time was: "The weather is dry, be careful of fire!"
After a long time of work, everyone was excited.
Go downstairs to eat something casually, and go out fully armed.
This time, they didn't have plastic bags on their heads, but wore a pair of sunglasses each outside the sunscreen hood. Although the dress looked a bit ridiculous, at least the positions that should be protected were protected.
The children also followed.
After they went out, they found that the people in the community were basically taking action.
After everyone was busy with their home affairs, they all walked out of the house one after another.
One by one either held homemade torches or made insect nets, and some people lit fires in the open space.
The people on the property were busy organizing people to carry buckets and basins of water around the fire, for fear that someone would accidentally start a fire again.
In short, the more people cooperate, the more tacit understanding they become, and the more skilled they are in catching insects.
After a long time, the overwhelming number of bugs stranded in the community were burned to death by everyone, and some were scared away by this posture.
Although everyone was exhausted at the end of the day, this was another big cooperation among the residents of the community after the disaster, except for the time when they went to the ruins to pick up garbage.
Looking at the worm corpse that was burned to ashes, everyone felt a sense of revenge, and they couldn't even feel tired.
Although they were sweating profusely, their mouths were dry, and their whole body was covered with stench, I didn't know why, but they still felt not bad, and I was in a good mood.
So much so that when it was about to end, everyone could joke a few times with each other and brag about their achievements.
The people on the property took this opportunity to publicize the importance of fire prevention, and Shen Cong did not forget to tell everyone about his father-in-law's departure, so that the residents would never ignore the bite wound, and be sure to pay attention Rinse with clean water.
If it's serious, don't be lazy, you must go to the property to find someone to apply some medicine.
In short, this night compared to the day before, everyone felt a little lighter, and even slept more steadfastly than before.
Shen Cong didn't even dream, and slept until dawn.
No, the sky is not bright.
Because of the hard work the previous day, Shen Cong actually woke up later than usual this morning. After waking up, she glanced at her watch, it was half past six.
But unfortunately - the sky outside is still not bright.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she jumped up from the bed immediately.
When she walked out of the house, she saw her sister standing in the corridor at a glance.
Shen Xi was still wearing pajamas, and apparently ran out because he felt something.
Hearing the movement, she turned her head and glanced at her sister, but didn't say a word.
Shen Cong didn't have the desire to speak anymore.
Because as soon as she came out, she saw that the barbed wire above her head was the same as yesterday, and it was full of black and dense insects.
Chapter 94
The good mood of the night ended the moment I saw the bug.
Only this time neither of the sisters shouted or screamed, and both of them were a little numb.
Going back to the house and looking at the children, and making sure that the two cubs were still sleeping soundly, Shen Xi went out of the house again and went downstairs with his sister.
The old couple had also gotten up, obviously they also saw the situation outside.
Cheng Ru didn't cry anymore. She even took advantage of the time to make breakfast, and she and her wife lit all four braziers and put them on the roof.
There were just too many bugs, and the smoke from the four braziers had little effect on them.
There may also be bugs that have been smoked away, but their vacated spots are quickly taken up by more bugs.
The old couple had a sullen face and were obviously in a bad mood, but they were much better than the tension and fear yesterday.
Seeing the two daughters come in, Cheng Ru pointed to the table: "Eat first."
Shen Cong glanced at it and found that in addition to the miscellaneous grain porridge and cold side dishes, there were actually a few green onion cakes on the table.
And there were eggs in the cake.
Seeing her daughter's surprise, Cheng Ru didn't even lift her eyelids, she drooped her eyes and said, "What's the matter, we can't live without bugs? The more troublesome they make, the better we have to live! Eat all, and work hard when you're full. Live."
Although the mother said angry words, you could feel the toughness in the old man's heart from the tone.
At least this kind of attitude makes people feel much better than crying while hugging their legs yesterday.
The two sisters glanced at each other, didn't speak, picked up their bowls and started to eat.
The anxiety in my heart gradually eased a little under the influence of my mother.
After the meal, they did not go to burn the worms first, but rearranged the vegetable shelves that had been returned to the house.
The third floor was requisitioned by Mr. Gu before, and all his treasures were planted in it.
Although he followed the young couple to the city later, no one dared to touch those herbs.
After all, herbs and vegetables are different. Vegetables can be harvested in a few months or even dozens of days, while herbs are common for several years.
When the old man was not at home, Father Shen just came over to help him water and take care of him.
The location didn't move at all.
But now this is clearly not the case.
The roof and the backyard are temporarily unavailable, so only the indoor space can be used.
The houses that exist now, obviously, seem cramped immediately.
Shen Cong and his father moved the herbs that the old man planted, and squeezed them together as much as possible, leaving only the necessary air circulation.
The space freed up is used to put vegetables that have not been bitten by insects.
Looking at the shelves that were still in the corridor, Shen Jianyi wiped his sweat and said, "If it doesn't work, squeeze the place where you live.
Let your mother live with your sister and the others, and I'll go to your father-in-law and family tree's house. Squeeze, the guest rooms you and Shi Chen are staying in will not be moved for the time being, so that another room can be vacated."
"Don't bother."
Shen Cong expressed his objection.
"If we want to move, we also move. Where can the old man make room for the house?
But I mean don't move for the time being. Our bedroom is not very big. It's crowded on such a hot day, and the heat will also give people a lot of heat. It's so hot.
And the room between you and my mother was originally the innermost room, and it didn't face the sun. Even if it was vacated, it wouldn't be able to put a few shelves. What are you trying to do with this trip?"
The dishes on those shelves were originally I was also bitten and bald. If it's a big deal, I won't plant it until the bug is resolved. "
Shen Jianyi glared at her: "It's simple, who knows when these worms will be solved? If they don't die, we won't be able to eat?"
He looked outside with a melancholy expression: "I think they are alive and well. Very good, looks healthier than me! Which one is so easy to die in a while?"
"According to the situation in the past life, they will not live for long. When they come, it actually means that the drought is coming to an end.
Almost Twenty days later, there should be a heavy rain, and when the rain stops, these insects are basically dead."
Shen Cong told his family before this process, and Shen's father also knew about it.
But at this time, he was still worried.
"What if the rain doesn't come? You also said that many things are different now than what you have experienced before."
Yes, many things are indeed different, so Shen Cong at this time did not dare to make a ticket .
She was silent for a while, and had to come up with another idea: "Why don't I build a tin house on the top floor? Putting vegetables in the house is better than putting them in the house, they can't get in if there are nets. ."
Speaking of which, she herself thought it was a good idea.
"Just build a tin roof with no walls around. There are iron nets anyway, so don't worry about insects.
This will block their excrement and prevent soil pollution, sunlight and ventilation. It's better than putting it in the house
. As soon as it rains, there will definitely be no light in the house, and then we have to find a way to fill them with light.
If it rains for a long time, the solar energy may not be enough."
Shen Cong thought well, but was caught Shen Jianyi rejected one sentence: "Then there is still a fire upstairs! You can build a tin house so that it won't block the heat, and the vegetables can live in it?
It's better to put it in the corridor, so that it won't burn. "
Shen Cong was so choked by his father's words that he didn't know how to answer it, and it took a long time before he said, "Then, or else the bugs will not burn first, anyway, it won't be finished anyway."
Father Shen gave up completely.
He put the vegetable bowl in his hand heavily, and said decisively: "Burn! If the vegetables are not planted, they must be burned! Burn those dog things to death, I can't see them now!
" What can be said?
Although Shen Cong felt that his plan still had merit, he had to shelve it. After the house was cleaned up and all that could be moved in, a few people went up to the roof again.
Like yesterday, they lit the torch again and started the work of burning the bugs.
After the worms were burnt, another half of the morning passed.
Everyone packed up and went downstairs together, preparing to go out to help the community as yesterday.
At this time, Shi Chen quietly walked to Shen Cong's side.
He was afraid that others would also be worried when they heard it, so he could only ask in a low voice, "Auntie, why haven't my uncle and grandpa come back? It's been a few days. Do you want me to go to the town and ask?"
Shi Chendu Thinking about it, how could Shen Cong not think of it?
Her husband and father-in-law had been away for a day or two, and she had not returned until now, so she was very worried.
The town is only a few steps away from home?
No matter what, so long is enough.
But it's hard for anyone to say what's going on outside at the moment.
It was even more impossible for her to let Shi Chen, a child, go on this trip.
She suppressed the worry in her heart, and said to Shi Chen with a calm expression: "It's okay, don't think so much, they'll be fine. There must be some delay, let's wait, if they don't wait for the afternoon. When I get back, I'll go to the town to see."
Hearing what Shen Cong said, Shi Chen nodded and said nothing.
But he still couldn't hold back and looked outside the community again, with an undisguised anxiety in his expression.
When working in the community this afternoon, Shen Cong had been a little absent-minded.
In fact, she was assured of Gu Kai, knowing that he was safe and would not do unexpected things, let alone disregard her own safety, not to mention that he was even more cautious with his father.
And this time it's just a bug, it's not an irresistible natural disaster, and it's not particularly dangerous.
However, the time they went out this time was indeed a bit long.
She hasn't come back yet, so there must be something she doesn't know about.
Fortunately, Shen Cong's anxiety didn't last long. At about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the car that Gu Kai and the others drove out came back.
It's just that Wei Yan was the one who drove back, and Gu Kai and Mr. Gu were not in the car.
Seeing the car, Shen Cong was the first to greet him.
Seeing that Wei Yan got out of the driver's seat, she didn't hide her worries at all, and asked directly, "Where's your brother-in-law? And my father-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law and Uncle Gu were picked up by the group and left. I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell my family, so I had to come back and send a letter.
Don't worry, it was Xiaoliang who came to pick him up, and it must have something to do with bugs. It is estimated that the regiment went to a meeting with them. " Wei Yan explained.
At this time, Wei Yan looked very embarrassed, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't showered. He looked very dirty, his hair had turned into strands, and his clothes were so dirty that he couldn't look at them.
Hearing that her husband and father-in-law were picked up by Xiaoliang, knowing that they would be fine, Shen Cong felt relieved, and finally had the intention to care about her brother-in-law.
She took two steps back and looked at Wei Yan with disgust: "You just came back from the bug nest, why are you so dirty? Hurry up and wash!"
Wei Yan also knew what was going on with him at the moment, he was a little embarrassed and gave way to the side again, and then said: "No, I have to go to Xinji quickly to get the chicken back. Otherwise, it will be robbed by others if I go too late. First, it's too late!"
"Get chickens?" Shen Jianyi's eyes lit up: "Help us get it?"
Because of the bug problem, he and his wife were still discussing this morning, thinking that this time Yingshui Village The people are taking a big advantage!
Don't look at the people in the community who hate these bugs, presumably the people in Yingshui Village don't think so.
This worm is a disaster for crops, but it is a rare good feed for chickens and ducks.
With these big meals sent by God, those free-range chickens don't know how many more eggs they lay!
And with chickens, their crops are less affected, and they don't even have to catch insects themselves, just put the chickens in.
It's a win-win in every way!
When my wife said it, she was still sighing, saying that Yingshui Village had a village chief like Xu Xingxue, and it was really bad luck.
After hearing this, Shen Jianyi couldn't find a reason to refute.
Afterwards, he kept thinking about it in his heart, thinking about going to talk to Shi Lei and the others today to see how he could get some chickens from the village, even if he bought them!
I didn't expect that before I could open my mouth here, Wei Yan brought back such good news over there. This is really unexpected.
Chapter 95
After listening to Shen Jianyi's words, Wei Yan explained: "In response to the insect disaster, a notice was issued in the city, requiring the chicken farms in the city to fully cooperate with the pest control activities of various cities, and to assign counterpart units according to the scope of the city.
Qingshan Town The counterpart here is Xinji Chicken Farm, and it is said that the whole town will guarantee to provide us with 10,000 adult chickens."
"10,000!" The onlookers exclaimed.
The old Cao who came over immediately asked: "How much can we give to our community? Five thousand?"
Wei Yan glared at him and scolded with a smile: "What do you want! Five thousand more? It would be good to give you five hundred. The whole Qingshan How big is the town, there are only 10,000 in total. You need 5,000 when you open your mouth, such a big tone."
The old Cao said in a sentence, somewhat embarrassed.
Shi Lei hurried to the side to remedy: "It's ok if you don't have 5,000! It's also a national-level test base. If we can't keep a bit of food, how can we explain to the state at the end of the year?"
Wei Yan didn't say anything.
He looked up at the sky and looked at the smoky bug that was still hovering in the sky for a long time, unwilling to disperse. The expression on his face became more and more solemn.
In fact, he is not worried about whether the food in the community can be kept. There is only so much space in the community. How much can be grown?
Rather than food, he is more worried about the pollution of the community's land.
Speaking of how the community became a national test base, Wei Yan knew the inside story best.
To put it bluntly, it is not the book of Old Master Gu, and the formation method?
Otherwise, based on the area of ââthe community, the population, and especially the limited planting area, they will never be able to get their hands on them.
Butââwho made this place blessed, and was the first place to use the formation method?
Because the formation method was used early, the soil has been raised.
Except for the soil in my aunt's house, the active ingredients in the surrounding soil are more abundant than other places.
Even though many other bases have already started raising soil, there is a time lag after all.
Not to mention the whole of Bac Ninh, it is counted across the country. The monthly soil test shows the best activity in the community, especially the soil near my aunt's house.
Therefore, the purpose of the existence of this production base is to raise soil, and whether to plant or not is secondary.
Just like the proposal submitted by Mr. Zhao at the beginning, raising the soil is the top priority.
After growing, it can be used as fertilizer for other areas.
Of course, to be on the safe side, the range of people who know about this is very limited, and the residents of the community have no way to know about it.
They only know that the reason why their community is listed as a national-level production base is because vegetables were first grown, and the quality of vegetables is better than other places.
But they didn't know that the vegetables were grown well, and it had nothing to do with the planting methods they mastered. It really depended on the soil in the community.
Wei Yan didn't worry about the delivery of food to the country at the end of the year as Lao Cao said, this base does not exist for food.
Only soil can guarantee that effect, and no one will say anything without paying a grain of grain.
But if these insects have polluted the land...
Thinking of this, Wei Yan's heart felt heavy.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try my best to fight for it and see how many I can get back.
Don't look at the city's promise to give us 10,000, but I don't know if I can count the ones that I can get. Xinji was also hit by a disaster. Can someone else's chicken farm protect their own home first?"
At the same time as receiving the notice, Wei Yan had already sent Assistant Zhang, the most capable subordinate of the working group, to lead him to Xinji.
The reason is to hope to get ahead and save the 10,000 chickens.
He was in a hurry to come back to the community this time, on the one hand, to report the letter, on the other hand, to come back to find helpers.
Speaking of which, he is also the deputy head of the first regiment, but because his main job is to be the head of the working group to increase production and income, there are really few people under him.
Normally, when he went to the test base to inspect the work, everyone would naturally cooperate, but when it came to a critical time, he could not guarantee that such an order would be executed smoothly.
I heard that Wei Yan came back this time to bring people to catch chickens, and the people in the community suddenly came to the spirit!
Immediately not tired.
The smoky irritability of catching the insects just now seemed to be quenched by someone with a spoonful of water, and the whole person was refreshed.
"Let's go, let's go! Put on the car at home and let's go together!" Lao Cao immediately began to rant.
The people in the community agreed to spread out, and even Father Shen called Shang Jiashu and Shi Chen to go home and push the cart.
Only then did Shen Cong walk up to Wei Yan again and asked, "Why are your brother-in-law and the others going back to the city?"
Wei Yan walked aside, avoiding the crowd, and then whispered, "I heard that Meng Chao came. I also brought seeds of several kinds of plants, and said that my brother-in-law and Uncle Gu would go over and have
a look. It is said that this time with Meng Chao, there are also several wood-type abilities, and it is said that they are specially sent to them. Get organized and jointly study the rectification plan for the insect plague."
Speaking of which, Wei Yan suddenly smiled: "Sister, you didn't see my brother-in-law like that. As soon as
I heard that there were several wood-type abilities, the eyes It lights up as soon as you touch the ground. Spiritual! I don't think you've ever been so excited."
"Go away." Shen Cong kicked at Wei Yan.
He laughed and hid aside, and then said, "Don't worry, he's definitely fine, but it's estimated that he won't be back soon. Meng Chao and the others came to call my brother-in-law and Uncle Gu. They took it away. Wouldn't they have
to go around in a big circle?
I thought maybe they'd have to run with the bugs, and it would be impossible to see when they would come back."
Shen Cong naturally thought of what Wei Yan said.
With such a big country, there must be many disaster-hit places.
Now that the expert group has begun to study the governance plan, it is natural to go to more places to sample and do experiments.
However, as long as it is to do business and ensure safety, Shen Cong doesn't care how long Gu Kai is out.
Man, it's always a good thing to be ambitious.
What's more, this is what Gu Kai is willing to do.
"If you want to know this, I'll bring them something." Shen Cong whispered regretfully.
Wei Yan snorted with a sour face: "I should call Ranran now and let her see how virtuous my sister is. She didn't say she wanted to bring me anything after I've been out for so long."
Knowing Wei Yan was joking on purpose to relax himself, and Shen Cong took his love, instead of chatting with him, he also ran back home.
She didn't take care of the car when she went back, but helped Wei Yan pack a bag as quickly as possible, which contained jerky, homemade beef sauce, a bag of milk powder and a few bottles of multivitamins.
In addition, the traditional Chinese medicine that the old man gave him before is naturally indispensable.
When Wei Yan got the bag, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched several times, looking at Shen Cong with an indescribable expression on his face.
But under her threatening stare, she still gritted her teeth and took it.
Because of the help of people from the community, the 10,000 chickens were finally saved, and Wei Yan was able to complete the task satisfactorily.
In the community, because it was close to the water tower, and with the strength of Lao Cao and the others, they "snatched" back a thousand chickens from Wei Yan and the work team.
Although the money to buy chickens will be paid for with grain in the future, but with them, the grain will be guaranteed!
This deal is definitely worth it.
When the chicken was pulled back, the whole community was the same as the Chinese New Year.
Because it was already afternoon when Wei Yan returned to the community, he organized people to rush to Xinji, then transported the chickens back to the town, and then returned to the community after distribution... After
this trip, it was dawn when the residents returned.
But no one cared about being sleepy, and immediately held a meeting to discuss raising chickens.
After all, this is also a technical job!
Fortunately, there are still talents in the courtyard.
After discussion, everyone came to know that there was a family at the top who had worked on a chicken farm before, and the family of three had considerable experience in raising chickens.
According to the plan proposed by the three people, Shi Lei made a decision on the spot, and directly allocated an open space near the high-rise to build a chicken coop, and mobilized the residents of the community to act together.
Building a house is not difficult for people in the community, not to mention this chicken coop is simpler.
But it is to build a few larger suspended wooden houses with wooden boards and the like, the upper layer is for chickens, and the lower layer is easy to clean.
In addition to building chicken coops, another job is to pull nets in cracks and places where chickens can easily escape.
The ground seams in the community have been blocked by fences before.
However, the fence was built relatively low. In order to prevent these "chicken ancestors" from flapping their wings and jumping down, the nets must be re-wired above.
To be honest, these jobs are very trivial and quite troublesome.
If it is usually no one wants to do it, but when you think of the big problem that these chickens will solve for the community, everyone will work hard.
In order to serve these chickens, the people in the community have been busy all day and night.
Everyone is assigned to work in batches, and basically everyone is not idle.
But these "chicken ancestors" who were served did not live up to people's ardent hopes.
After they were put down from the car, there was almost no delay, and they all started to "work" spontaneously.
Because these bugs have appeared for two or three days, the chickens should have tasted them when they were in Xinji, and knew that this was a rare delicacy.
So as soon as they were freed, they all turned into the fiercest fighters, and immediately scattered, chasing after the bugs, pecking and tearing, and eating happily.
Although everyone knows that chickens can fly, few people have actually seen chickens climb trees and chickens climb walls.
After seeing the chickens chasing the worms and flying to the fence, jumping to the high platform, watching them rush into the field to peck the worms that were stuck on the corn stalks one by one, and swallow them into their stomachs...
All the tiredness of the people Stop it!
Everyone counted in their hearts.
If according to the people in Xinji, a chicken can eat 70 to 80 worms a day, then a thousand chickens can eat 70,000 to 80,000 worms a day? !
With them, what is there to fear?
No matter how many bugs come, they will only become their rations.
When I figured this out, everyone was excited.
I don't know who shouted: "Don't burn the bugs if you catch them again, keep them, keep them all, that's the ration for our chickens!"
Everyone burst into laughter, as if the bad mood they suffered a few days ago The sons are all gone.
And this joy reached its climax early the next morning.
Before Shen Cong went downstairs, he heard a commotion outside the house.
She yawned and was about to ask, but Jiashu had already shouted from downstairs: "Sister-in-law, are you awake? Hurry downstairs to eat, and let
's catch bugs after dinner!" Overjoyed, Shen Cong felt that she was dreaming and shook her head subconsciously.
She hurriedly went downstairs, and then saw that her mother was also smiling, and the most important thing was that the old lady was scrambled eggs for them!
The smell of tomato scrambled eggs pierced his nose, making Shen Cong unable to hold back and gulping.
"What's the situation? What are you guys happy about? Mom, how many eggs did you exchange in Yingshui Village before? Are you running out of preparation?" she asked in surprise.
After asking the question, he even looked outside, until he saw that the black insects on the iron net were still there, and then he was sure that there was no such thing as a happy event that all the insects disappeared overnight.
Before Cheng Ru could speak, Jiashu interjected excitedly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, with us here, there will be no shortage of eggs in the family.
" You know, the people in our community are going crazy this morning! The people who got
up early were yelling, and they all ran out to pick up eggs one by one!"
"What do you mean? You mean those chickens lay eggs outside yesterday?" Shen Cong didn't react a bit: "Didn't we build a nest for them yesterday?"
"It should be that the chickens still don't recognize the nest, right?
Xiao Chen and the others are only three people, and they probably didn't get all the chickens back.
They were last night . Most of them slept outside. As a
result, those chickens lay eggs everywhere, and now they are just shouting. I heard that people in our community have picked up more than 100 people, right?
I don't know how many people have picked them up. Don't say anything, I'm ignorant, otherwise there will be more!"
"More than a hundred!" Shen Cong was also shocked.
And such a good thing? This is simply a surprise!
"It must be more than that. Think about it, a thousand chickens were brought back yesterday. Although we didn't count them, hens must be the majority, and more than a hundred eggs
are a lot? These are all chickens, and they are still eaten. It's so good! One chicken and one egg every day, at least five hundred, right? If
you count it, we will be stronger than Yingshui Village and the others in the future, and we will never run out of chickens and meat again."
Cheng Ru said cheerfully as she poured out the eggs.
"That's right, I guess our two captains are crazy happy at the moment, and we haven't formulated a system yet.
I just said that we should go out to catch bugs when we have time, and said that we should exchange bugs for eggs.
Sister-in-law, you hurry up Eat, all the worms were caught by other people's houses when they were late.
Oh, if you know that these worms are so useful, what did we burn before? We should leave an opening to bring them all in, how many eggs are they worth!
" The tree said, looking at the barbed wire outside the house with regret.
Shen Cong: "..." I
never knew that a bug could have such a lovely day.
When it comes to catching bugs for eggs, the adults in the family are fine, but the children can't sit still.
The three of them were so excited that they couldn't even eat their food, and after drinking a bowl of porridge, they made a noise and wanted to run out.
The initial fear of bugs disappeared after a few days of "intensification", and the two eldest children didn't talk about it, even Shan Shan now dares to catch them with her bare hands.
Of course, after being discovered by Shenxi, he tried hard and taught him a lesson.
Because there are children at home, the time to go out is naturally a little late. By the time everyone comes out, the yard is already full of people.
People, all armed with various homemade tools, began to hunt insects in small groups and in different areas.
Jiashu has always been a lively person, and his character is good, and his popularity is not bad.
In addition, he lived in the community for a long time when the well was dug before, so there is no one here that he does not know from top to bottom.
So not long after he came out of the house, he found out all the news he could find.
It turned out that the property had posted the notice of the acquisition of bugs at this time, saying that ten pounds of bugs were exchanged for an egg, on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Ten catties of bugs! How much is that?" Shen Xi asked in shock.
Jiashu looked around, and then pointed to a woven bag that someone was carrying not far away: "Xiao Qian said that such a bag can hold about 20 catties."
"My God, then this bag must be in the thousands, right? If this is the case, how many more worms are not enough for us to catch?!"
"Then do you want more worms? It's a good thing to be able to catch some of the current ones." Father Shen scolded aside.   "It doesn't matter to me. I guess I don't know how many people in our community are hurting
at the moment. I regret that all the bugs before were burned. No one thinks there are too many bugs at this moment."   "Yeah! It's a pity!" Cancan, who had been standing on the side without speaking, suddenly nodded heavily.   A pained expression on his face.   The adults couldn't help but laugh.   The little girl has experienced the hardest days after the earthquake, and she knows the importance of food.   Ever since I found out in the morning that I can exchange eggs for bugs, my little face has been twisted.   For a long time, my eyes have been staring at the iron net at home, and I just missed a hole in the net.   Although the little girl didn't say anything, her expression clearly wanted to go back to the past and pick up all the bugs that were not burned.   Shi Chen wasn't much better than his sister at the moment.   He didn't regret it, but he was too busy to speak.   He only ate two bites of breakfast and ran away, and then started busy making various insect-catching tools.   Not to mention the few remaining woven bags for seeds and grains left at home, he even called Tongtong away.   Two people, one big and one small, were chattering. In this moment, they made five or six insect nets out of bamboo poles, iron wire, and woven bags, and they made them look like they were.   ...
With these tools, catching bugs is simply too easy.
Shi Chen took Tong Tong, and they ran wildly around the wall with a large net, and when they came back, they could put half a bag in the net.
Father Shen and the family tree didn't even need a net anymore. They each took a torn disposable raincoat and slammed it on the wall.
It is easy to cover a hundred or ten at a time.
After last night, another large batch of bugs came, and I don't know where these ghosts came from.
But now people are not afraid of them at all, and even have a lot less disgust. In everyone's eyes, they have become as valuable as eggs.
Cheng Ru and several old ladies were also recruited by the community.
If they do nothing else, they are responsible for boiling water and scalding the worms.
The insects caught by the residents were weighed and all scalded to death in hot water, then drained and spread out on the community square to be exposed to the sun.
Although the government has not issued any documents, no one has told everyone what to do.
But in fact, people all understand that, despite the fact that this worm is so rampant, they will not stay for too long.
If there were no chickens in the past, everyone wanted them to get out of the egg as soon as possible, but now, everyone realizes that they are rare chicken feed.
After the insect tide passes, there will be a new round of food shortage waiting for people. At that time, people will be short of food rations. How to raise these chickens will become a very big problem.
But a chicken that lays eggs, who would be willing not to?
Therefore, it has become a very important task to reserve food for them in advance and to be able to raise them well.
With these chickens, especially eggs, if they are exchanged, the problem of food shortage in the future can be alleviated a lot.
Chapter 96
For the next few days, there will still be a lot of bugs coming every day.
But chickens eat people, and fewer and fewer bugs can be seen in the community.
Sometimes a family is busy all day, and they may not be able to come back for three or two eggs.
The people of the Shen family were embarrassed to go to the courtyard to snatch bugs from everyone, and they set their sights on the protective net on their roof.
At this time, Shen Cong and Tong Tong became the biggest cheaters in the family.
Children are getting up early every morning now, and they don't need adults to call at all.
After getting up, he didn't even eat, he dragged the adults upstairs to the top floor, and he had to catch bugs before it was full daylight.
The reason they did this
was- "Wait a minute when the uncles and aunts in the courtyard get up. The loud noises will scare the bugs away!"
Listening to that silly girl Shan Shan also repeats it seriously with her brother, and still heavily With a nod of approval, Shen Cong couldn't help but want to laugh.
Isn't this the time to lie on the ground in fright and dare not open your eyes?
The same roof, the same black insects, the little girl looked at them again, just like looking at eggs!
Sure enough, delicious food can bring the greatest courage at any time.
At this time, catching bugs has become a game for children, and even they have been able to cooperate with each other and no longer need the help of adults.
Because Tongtong is still small and his abilities are weak, the iron net above the top floor is difficult for him to control.
But children have ways of being children.
The three of them asked for a few leaves from the adults and put them in a plastic bucket.
Afterwards, they moved the plastic buckets and placed them near the railings on the top floor. They even rubbed the leaves of the vegetables to make the juice seep out and make the taste stronger.
After the two little girls are ready, Tong Tong will use his supernatural ability to tear apart the iron mesh near the plastic bucket.
There were gaps in the originally dense iron mesh, and the smell of vegetable leaves was attracted. Those bugs naturally swarmed and scrambled to fly inside.
The first time she saw this scene, Cheng Ru was still a little anxious.
I still want to try to stop it, for fear that the children are too young, and I can't control the situation in the end.
But before he could speak, he was grabbed by his wife.
"Don't worry, let's see what they do." Shen Jianyi stood aside with a smile.
In fact, the three children did not disappoint the adults.
After confirming that the number of bugs in it was almost there, Tong Tong repaired the net as quickly as possible.
And Cancan wet the insects' wings with water mist, so that they could no longer fly.
After that, the three children gathered up the worms that could not fly and fell to the ground and put them in a bag prepared in advance. They didn't even forget to put a stone on it to prevent the worms from running away.
After doing all this, they started a second wave, poking open the barbed wire again, and using vegetable leaves to attract bugs in.
It's just that Shan Shan doesn't feel reconciled, and when the bugs come in again, she will follow her sister's way and radiate cold air towards them.
In the end, the bugs that fell to the ground were not covered with water, but with a layer of snow foam.
The performance of the children is really amazing and even more reassuring.
Shen Jianyi was even more gratified and laughed.
Children are so active, how can adults be lazy?
They move faster and cooperate more tacitly.
So the bugs that had to be burned in the morning were forced to get them all back in less than two hours.
I have collected five woven bags, which look like hundreds of pounds!
Eggs are not easy to store in summer. The leaders of the community are not stingy when they exchange for the residents. Basically, as long as you can beat the bugs, you will be able to exchange the eggs.
In this case, if everyone's emotions are not high?
As a result of the high emotions, less and less bugs came to the community in less than a week, and recently they have almost disappeared.
How could the villagers, who have tasted the sweetness so easily, be willing to give up such a good opportunity?
They turned their attention to the outside of the community.
Soon, people began to develop in groups of three or five, and went to other gathering points to help catch insects for free.
How could such a good thing have been hidden for so long?
But one day, someone from outside the community came to test it and asked, if the bugs were caught from outside, would the community accept them?
Because the insects in the community are really gone, it will not take long for the chickens' rations to become a problem again.
The leaders of the community discussed it for a while, and set up a special point at the entrance to start collecting insects.
The collection method this time is different from the collection method in my community before.
Now it has become only the dried worms that have been killed and dried, and it is also five pounds for one egg.
Speaking of which, the price is much lower than the previous price for the residents of the community, but no one cares.
It was originally disgusting that the insects that were about to be burned to ashes could actually exchange eggs. This was something that everyone didn't even think about before.
So it was spread from ten to ten, and soon there was a long queue of people changing bugs at the gate of the community.
In addition to the community, there was news from the town soon, and there were also news from several bases that they had begun to buy worms.
The price is slightly different, it can be exchanged for eggs, but also vegetables or even dry food.
Gradually, the catching of insects in exchange for living materials turned out to be a new way of making a living for the residents of the surrounding gathering points.
Those worms are no longer the sinful people they were in the first place.
It's really a way that no one expected to develop things like this.
Don't say that everyone didn't expect such a result, Shen Cong also never expected it.
When the insect wave came in the previous life, whether it was her or the people around her, everyone's choice was to accept the adversity.
Waiting silently, simmering until they leave.
The state has also given subsidies, but the subsidies can only be said to be better than nothing, just to ensure that everyone has a minimum living standard, so that they will not starve to death.
Her parents died not long after the plague came, and her father-in-law had died before that.
At that time, their family had already run out of food, and they relied on receiving a little bit of relief food from the government to support their lives every day.
Later, the government also ran out of food, and then began to buy worms and make them into dried worms.
It's just that in the past life, those dried worms were not used to feed chickens, but were ground into powder as a substitute for protein, mixed with coarse grains and wild vegetables, and made into vegetable dumplings as rations for distribution to everyone.
Until now, when he thought of the taste of that vegetable dumpling, Shen Cong couldn't help but feel sick...
he didn't even dare to think about it.
Compared to the days back then, it was really much harder than it is now.
Not only their family, but everyone's life is miserable.
Shen Cong thought about it carefully, but did not come up with how much less natural disasters he experienced in this life than in his previous life?
It sounds a little worse than before.
At least there was no subsidence in the last life, and there were no such big cracks in Beining.
The insect wave in the previous life came a little later than this time.
What makes life so much better today than it used to be?
Shen Cong knew that this must have something to do with the formation.
Because the formation method was obtained in advance and quickly applied to various production bases, the grain output in many places was at least one more season than in the previous life.
Don't underestimate this season's grain, it can reduce a lot of burden on the country.
Besides, Shen Cong felt that it should be hope.
Because no matter how big the famine is, there is always hope ahead.
It is this hope that makes people put away their evil thoughts and makes people willing to make more efforts to fight for the future of themselves and their families.
It's like now, although the insects have eaten the food, everyone is scolding, and the work that should be done has not stopped at all.
Even if they are involved in catching insects, every household re-sows seeds at home and replants vegetables and grains.
And that didn't happen in the previous life.
People in the previous life seem to have chosen to give up early. Although they are still alive, they live numbly and just get by.
Maybe the bugs also felt the danger, and gradually there were fewer and fewer bugs not only in the community, but in the whole area.
The insect wave passed by so silently.
Although their arrival still brings panic and disaster to people, at least this disaster is not fatal.
They do ruin a lot of crops.
But because the residence time is short, and high concentrations of pesticides are not used in various places to eliminate them, the impact on the soil is much less than everyone once feared.
And their appearance, but also from another aspect to promote the development of animal husbandry.
Not long after the end of the insect wave, someone came to the community to ask for the sale of chickens and eggs.
Although the community at this time has not even paid off the debt for the thousand chickens, and there is no such thing at all. l
However, the nearby gathering points unexpectedly formed a queue first.
Just wait for the community to start selling and buy it immediately.
You must know that the city once encouraged everyone to raise chickens, and a series of preferential policies were introduced for this purpose.
But because there is not enough food to feed people, no one dares to start this.
In the end, in addition to several large chicken farms built by the government, Yingshui Village ate the first crab.
This time, Yingshui Village was less affected by the insect tide than the community.
It can even be said to be the least affected place in the entire Bac Ninh area.
In addition to the reason why they raised a lot of chickens, the terrain of their village has changed.
Their villages are now basically mountainous, and the land is barren, not suitable for large-scale planting.
Before, their villagers were not reconciled and worked hard to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, but the results were completely disproportionate to their efforts.
Later, the working group went to the site to investigate the terrain and specially designed a suitable farming plan for them.
Similar to the situation in the community, it is the rational use of land and small-scale planting.
Those that are too barren would rather give up temporarily.
In addition to making a farming plan just for them, the people on the working group also provided them with specially made fertilizers that are easy to grow plants.
After these fertilizers and soil are allocated in proportion, although the planting area is small, the harvest can be more than the previous watering the wasteland and harvesting more grain.
The result is that when the bugs come, they simply don't have a large patch of farmland to protect.
Plus so many chickens, naturally it won't suffer a lot.
The situation of the community and Yingshui Village touched the surrounding gathering points very much, so the idea of ââraising chickens also arose.
While these relatively large and powerful gathering points turned their attention to raising chickens, a few average-strength gathering points put their minds on planting pastures.
The leaders of these places are very serious. They have few people and small places, and they cannot afford to buy chickens and raise them.
Then they can go buy seeds.
How much do grass seeds cost? After buying it, sprinkle it on the ground beside the wall. If it doesn't come out, it will be used as a test. Once it is planted, it can be cut off and sold to those large bases.
At that time, it will not be cheaper than the price of dried insects, right?
Therefore, before everyone realizes it, raising chickens and selling eggs has gradually developed into the industry.
After staying at home for another week, Gu Kai and the old man showed no sign of coming back.
Shen Cong couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, there was nothing to do at home, and even the iron net on the roof was removed.
So the brothers and sisters Shen Cong and Shi Chen bid farewell to their families and prepared to return to Beining.
Knowing that they were leaving, Jiashu couldn't wait, and he was clamoring to go back.
Previously, the work of the well drilling team had to be suspended because of the insect infestation, so it was fine for him to stay at home.
But now that the insect wave is over, everything should gradually be on the right track, and he naturally has to go back to work.
Knowing that the children went back to do business, the old couple did not hold back, but kept sending them to the gate of the community until the car had already driven a long way, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time.
When Shen Cong came home, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still heartbroken by the scene on the balcony.
Bac Ninh was obviously more severely affected than the community. When they left, they only built iron nets on the roof and did not plant vines.
As a result, several places on the upper layer of the iron net were bitten by insects.
Although Zhou Ying and the others worked hard to save them, the whole floor of vegetables was completely destroyed by those bastards.
Seeing them come back, Zhou Ying burst into tears, her expression full of guilt.
Xiaoyu also cried and told them how to fight against the bugs. On his small neck and face, there are still bruises left after being bitten by bugs.
Then all the dishes on the first floor were ruined by insects, and it would be a lie to say that they were not distressed.
Shen Cong's distressed heart twitched, not to mention Shi Chen and Cancan.
Cancan is young and can't hide her mood, so she started to sob after Xiaoyu.
Shi Chen's face turned pale with anger.
Faced with this situation, what can Shen Cong do?
She could only say to them over and over again, "It's okay, don't be afraid, we'll do it again."
But her heart was full of exhaustion.
Shen Cong had never thought of her husband like this for a moment.
If Gu Kai was here, he would definitely stand in the way of this situation.
And he just has to hide behind him and deal with his emotions slowly.
Moreover, if he was there, everyone would definitely not be so panic.
After all, with his wood-type ability, it is not impossible to make those vegetables grow again.
But, where is Gu Kai now?
Shen Cong suddenly couldn't wait to return to the regiment.
She wanted to go to Liu Tuan and ask, what is this for? She took her husband and father-in-law away well, and it took almost a month to pull her away, and she didn't even give any news.
What does this make them do?
What Shen Cong didn't know was that at this time Gu Kai was far away from them. He, his father and several other members of the expert group had already come to the capital at this moment.
They came this time not because of the bugs, but because the country has another very important thing to be done by them.
They and other colleagues of the expert group will accept the arrangement of the country to go abroad, to a neighboring country with friendly diplomatic relations with the country, and to assist the people there to rebuild their homes.
The task of the few of them is naturally to help them arrange the formation, teach them how to use the formation, and also assist them in completing the work of raising seedlings.
They don't know what kind of mutually beneficial conditions have been reached between countries, Gu Kai, but they know that this trip represents the country, so everyone can feel the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
This action was kept secret, and he couldn't even tell his family in advance, so Gu Kai had no chance to tell Shen Cong about it.
The only thing that made him feel gratified was that he finally heard good news after entering Beijing, knowing that the insect wave in Beining was over.
Gu Kai has always believed in his wife's ability. He believes that even if he is not at home, she can live a good life.
He comforts himself like this every day.
But when he thought that he had gone out and didn't know when he would be back, Gu Kai was still a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if he could meet Gonggong again, even if he could talk on the phone!
Chapter 97
Shen Cong was in the regiment that he went to the next day after returning to Beining, and immediately found Liu Tuan.
Seeing her, Liu Tuan smiled: "Why don't you take two days off, didn't you just come back yesterday?"
Shen Cong also smiled, and then said in a slightly complaining tone: "I want to take two days off, but the leader is not Are you deliberately not letting people rest? Where did
you take our family Gu Kai and my father-in-law? Why is it like kidnapping, just go out to report a letter, and then never come back.
Wei Yan speaks well . I don't know.
Our family is a good couple. If you can't find it, you can't find it. I'm not here to find Liu Tuan, you want someone, can that work?"
This is a joking and scolding call, and Liu Tuan said it directly haha laughing out loud.
He apologized again and again: "I really didn't dare to do anything to your Xiao Gu. I'm not afraid of him, I'm still afraid of you! My dear, if I dare to touch a hair on Xiao Gu, you have to use me as an iron rod and break it from the middle. Is it?"
"That's really hard to say." Shen Cong was not afraid of him, and joked: "Liu Tuan, hurry up and bring our family back!"
After talking until this point, Liu Tuan stopped the joke and said to Shen Cong : "I really haven't come back yet, they are no longer in the regiment, they have already gone to the capital."
Shen Cong was stunned, she frowned and looked at Liu Tuan: "What happened in the capital?"
"No, no, Don't think too much." Liu Tuan waved his hands again and again.
Then he continued: "Don't worry, Xiao Gu and the others just went abroad to complete a mission. The mission period is one month, plus the distance, they will come back in two months at most.
They are going to represent the country this time, and their safety is absolutely guaranteed. , and the level of the expert team on this mission is very high, and the security level is also the highest."
The more Liu Tuan explained, the more confused Shen Cong became, especially when he heard what the highest security level was, he couldn't help but feel up and down. .
Even the security level is listed in good order. Who would believe it if it is not important?
But the important thing is, is there any danger?
"Liu Tuan, don't fool me. You also know that I am not easy to fool. Tell me the truth, what is the situation? Wei Yan told me, but they are going to follow the insect tide."
Shen Cong pressed down Mind, ask calmly.
The hand that was placed under the table was already clenched into a fist.
Seeing her nervousness, Liu Tuan didn't dare to go around any further, and replied directly:
"Tracking the worm tide is an external argument, because this mission is a secret level, let alone Wei Yan at the time, even I didn't understand it. The specific situation.
I also received a call from the headquarters at that time, saying that Xiao Gu and Gu Lao would be transferred to Beijing immediately, and that the helicopter would arrive the next day.
I was also confused at the time, and said I had to find someone to find out . The situation. Then Meng Chao came.
Meng Chao and the others were really tracking the insect tide. Halfway after the chase, they were called back by a phone call.
They came to meet Xiao Gu and the others and went by helicopter together, and so did I. I heard some things from the Meng Dynasty.
I don't know what happened in particular. I can only tell you that they went abroad to provide support. It is said that they want to help E country build a national-level agricultural production base. "
Shen Cong didn't say a word for a long time.
This is another thing that has never happened in a previous life.
However, as time passed, the gap between the two lives became wider and wider, and even the timelines did not have much intersection, and it was inevitable that many things would deviate.
But...the husband and father-in-law have gone abroad!
Or when the natural disaster is not completely over.
She couldn't be at peace in her heart.
"Country E?"
Shen Cong asked thoughtfully.
Her eyes flashed, and a thought quickly flashed through her mind: "For the oil?"
Liu Tuan did not answer immediately, but a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes quickly.
He knew that Shen Cong was very smart, but he didn't expect her to be so politically sensitive.
He didn't hide it, but admitted it generously: "I'm not sure, after all, I haven't been officially notified.
But we all know that E produces domestic coal and oil. The
country is now in short supply of resources. The mines and oil fields all disappeared during the earthquake. Without energy, a country seems to have no hands and feet, and many things cannot be done at all.
If nothing else, letâs talk about our electricity. Now the lines have been repaired, but still There is no guarantee of full power supply.
Except for electricity and oil, solar vehicles have limitations in every aspect, at least for now, they cannot completely replace gasoline vehicles.
But what can we do?
Without these energy sources, Our factories can't work, our workers can't work, and we can't even produce chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
This is related to the lives of every one of us.
Country E also suffered heavy losses in this earthquake, but what they are most anxious about now is to recover Agricultural production.
We are in urgent need of energy, and they need agricultural assistance, which can be mutually beneficial.
So I think Gu Kai and the others will not only have to worry about safety, but they should also enjoy VIP-level treatment. "
Shen Cong nodded.
Although Liu Tuan did not know each one, he did not understand, and he did not receive the notice.
But after all, he is a high-level leading cadre, and there are too many channels to be contacted.
As long as you give him a clue, you can immediately restore the truth of the matter, and there will be no deviation.
Liu Tuan has already mentioned this level, and Shen Cong feels that things should be like this.
She recalled the things she had heard when she was in the community.
When it was said that the traffic had not fully recovered, the city dispatched oil tankers to pick up the remaining gasoline from gas stations. Not a single one is spared.
At that time, everyone was discussing that the country must be seriously short of oil.
So this is the state in action.
No one can refuse to do things for the country.
After confirming the whereabouts of her husband and father-in-law, and knowing that they were safe, Shen Cong left.
Liu Tuan still wanted her to stay for a while, saying that she would continue to work with the working group, but Shen Cong declined.
"I've been trying to tidy up the top floor for the past few days. Those lands are not good. Gu Kai is not there, so I can't urge the seedlings.
They have been home for almost a month, and if the previous speed was followed, the vegetables on the roof would have matured.
Now they are ruining thousands of pounds of vegetables!
Thinking of this, Shen Cong couldn't help but feel the pain.
Liu Tuan was also in pain.
He also lived on the top floor before.
It is nothing more than that after the insect wave came, the city was busy, and he had to sit in the regiment headquarters before moving back.
Hearing what Shen Cong said now, he nodded quickly: "Okay, let's tidy up the top floor first. That's also the base in our city, and it's also a demonstration base. You go ahead and tell me if you need
someone." No need, head, send someone to deliver some water every morning and evening. There are so many places, we can't finish the water."
"No problem, leave this to me." Liu Tuan immediately ensure.
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered: "By the way, go to the quarters and get your family's rations for this month. There are also Shi Chen and Cancan. Xiao Gu and the others are on business trips, and the rations are distributed according to the highest level. Send it.
Go and sign it, if you can't get it, I'll find someone to memorize it for you at night."
With space available, Shen Cong naturally didn't need someone to help me with memorization, she repeatedly refused: "No, I'm coming by car, I'm slow for food. Move slowly, it won't cause trouble for the group. It must be busy these days, and no one is idle."
Hearing her say this, Liu Tuan smiled and didn't insist any longer, and it could be seen that there were indeed few staff.
He just kept saying: "No, just put it in the car and wait for the group of boys to go back at night and let them help you move."
Since the regiment was so serious about his own home, Shen Cong didn't bother any more, but sat down again. down.
Liu Tuan, who was all about to see off guests, was stunned for a moment.
Liu Tuan hurriedly sat back and asked, "Xiao Shen, do you have anything else to do?"
Shen Cong nodded and asked, "Head, Gu Kai and my father-in-law are in a hurry, and they didn't have time to talk to you before they left. Can you talk about it?"
Liu Tuan thought for a while and said, "It's true. I called Wei Yan and asked him to go to the community to find someone, but they met in Qingshan Town. At that time, Xiao Liang was leading the working group When they were nearby, I let Xiao Liang pass by.
After they came back, they went to the garrison camp, where I met Meng Chao and the others, but I didn't even have time to meet them."
"That's it." Shen Cong understood .
"Gu Kai and my father-in-law actually wanted to call you when they went to town, especially my father-in-law. He wanted to tell you something. Maybe things got too chaotic later, and the old man didn't pay attention to it for a while.
It is estimated that when he reacts, They're all on the plane."
After hearing this, Liu Tuan also reacted.
That's right, the insect plague was at its worst at that time, and it was good. How could their father and son leave their family and run to the town?
There must be something going on!
Thinking of this, Liu Tuan's expression immediately became serious: "Xiao Shen, what's the matter?"
"My father-in-law just wanted to remind the group that the insect wave would not be formed for no reason, why they appeared at this time. , it must be a change in the weather.
According to his speculation, it should almost be the rainy season. He wants to remind everyone to be prepared for the rainy season while preventing insects."
"Is it going to rain? !" Liu Tuanteng jumped up from the chair.
He is really tall and big, otherwise... Shen Cong felt that he could jump on the roof excitedly.
"Well, it should be."
Seeing that Liu Tuan couldn't sit still with excitement, she had to remind her kindly: "Head of the regiment, there are severe droughts and floods, these are usually connected. Don't just hear the word "rain". I'm happy, what should be prepared has to be prepared! You
must pay attention to flood control."
"Understand! I will send people to investigate the river in the past few days, and do what should be dredged and strengthened immediately."
Although he said so, but Liu Tuan said that The smile is really hard to put down on one face.
The happy whole person is about to bloom.
Yes, it has been almost two years since the earthquake, and not a single drop of rain has fallen!
Slightly shallower river channels have been cut off, and the minimum water level of groundwater dug wells cannot be guaranteed.
This is because Bac Ninh is located in a good location, and it was not a water-deficient city before.
In the cities a little further north, many can't support it anymore.
In fact, Beining is about to be unable to hold it. It will not rain for a few more months. Liu Tuan feels that he does not know how to maintain it.
Therefore, the news of Shen Cong is simply the best news he has heard recently!
none of them!
He was not so happy even when his subordinates told him that the insect tide was over and that the insect swarm had left Beining.
Now that Liu Tuan looks at Shen Cong again, it's almost like looking at a lucky star. It's really pleasing to the eye the more he looks at it, he can say anything!
Knowing that Liu Tuan would not listen to any more warnings at this moment, Shen Cong didn't say any more.
After she said goodbye, she went to collect food rations for the whole family, and then returned to Fulin.
In fact, Fulin's current state is not as good as when they returned to the community before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, the city had already begun to dismantle the ruins in front of the community.
But because of the sudden insect infestation, everyone was caught off guard, and now the demolition work has stopped again, and the half-demolition of the ruins looks even more chaotic.
This time, Shen Cong did not stop in front of the ruins, but went around from there.
But when I passed by, I still saw some people squatting in the rubble, looking for something that could be used and sold for money.
The ruins have been stored here for more than a year, and everything that can be used in it has long been picked up. No one picked up the rubbish here a long time ago.
Now surrounded by people, there is only one possibility, that is, there are many people who are about to die, so they can only look for disappointment in the remaining places.
Shen Cong sighed silently in his heart, knowing that this insect wave had hit people hard.
It may be fatal to quite a few people.
When Shen Cong returned home, Shi Chen and Zhou Ying had been busy on the roof for a long time.
Seeing her car upstairs, Shi Chen didn't even wait for it to be called, and Shi Chen ran down and carried the rations back with her.
The five people's rations for a month are not too much, but not too much, a full 150 catties. (Cancan is an ability user, and the ration is also calculated by full labor)
In the end, Zhou Ying and Liu Xiaofeng also ran down, and the four of them finally finished moving in one trip.
That's it, I went upstairs and gasped for a long time.
After a short rest, a few people went upstairs together. At this time, Shi Chen and the others had already moved out the greenhouse and the vegetable racks that had been moved into the conservatory during the insect tide.
Although the dishes inside are gone, the soil has obviously been turned over again.
There is still a lot of soil on the top floor, and it looks like it was dug out of the vegetable field and exposed to the sun.
"We dug up some potatoes today, about two hundred kilograms. At that time, we thought they were all ruined by insects, and we were very distressed, but when we turned the soil today, we found that they were still fine."
Zhou Ying pointed out Pointing to a few sacks at the door of the conservatory, he said happily, "Our hard work in the past few months is not in vain."
Shen Cong was also very happy to know that there was still something to gain.
She deliberately walked over to take a look, and found that although the potatoes were still a little small, they were at least the size of a child's fist, and at least they could be exchanged for a lot of things.
She looked at Liu Xiaofeng, who was following behind, and said to him, "Xiaofeng, ask your friends, where can you buy batteries and the like? If you can, use these potatoes to exchange them. Return as much as you want."
Chapter 98
"Battery?" Liu Xiaofeng frowned: "This thing is in high demand right now, so it may not be easy to replace."
Because the civil electricity has never been connected, people have to think of various ways to survive.
Solar panels and various power storage devices have now become the most in-demand commodities, not only difficult to buy, but also extremely expensive.
"It doesn't have to be a battery, a high-power power bank can also be used. The power bank should be easy to replace, right? I remember that it was not expensive in the past. If you can find it, buy a few more and come back."
Shen Cong said, pointing again Pointing to the grain they had just brought up, he said, "If there are not enough potatoes, use this grain in exchange.
Gu Kai and the others are not at home, and these grains can't be eaten up. If they are not enough, tell me and I will find a way."
Seeing that she attached great importance to this matter, Liu Xiaofeng naturally did not dare to neglect.
He hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said that he would go out and inquire now.
And the rest of the family also felt something was wrong from this remark.
"Xiao Shen, isn't there solar energy at home? And I remember there are a few batteries left. Is this... what's going to happen?" Zhou Ying asked worriedly.
Although their husband and wife are now included in the government, they can be regarded as formal workers who are given rations by the state, but the affairs of the upper class are still incomprehensible.
Not even knowing what might happen.
However, Zhou Ying and Liu Xiaofeng are both smart people, and they both know that the Shen family they follow is very capable.
He had already made up his mind to follow closely.
Seeing that Shen Cong went out for such a trip, and came back to talk about the battery, then he naturally began to worry.
"It's nothing, don't be so nervous. I'm just afraid that it will rain in a while, and the solar panels will be inefficient. Besides, how much electricity is enough? There's no harm in saving more." Shen Cong explained road.
"Ah, it's going to rain? When will it be?" Zhou Ying was overjoyed after hearing this!
He was so excited that his voice was raised a lot, and he forgot to ask about the battery for a while.
"It should be soon, my dad said. The old man can watch the sky, and you all know that.
He said that after the bugs are gone, the rain will come soon.
I think we should prepare in advance, so it can be considered a rainy day. "
I want it, I want it! Old Gu's words are always accurate! I heard from the little soldier in the house over there that the old man reported that there was a severe drought, and that there was an insect plague. It was like a fairy. What about people!" Liu Xiaofeng interjected.
And Zhou Ying was also excited: "What's more, do you still remember when the first earthquake happened, it was Xiaoshen and the others who urged us to buy grain reserves.
At that time in the community square, if it wasn't for Xiaoshen's reminder, you would be sure I didn't expect to come back the next day to have a look, and I didn't expect to take Xiaoyu to the supermarket to buy things. If
that's the case, when the big earthquake comes, our family will fall into the cracks."
"Yeah, follow the old man. Go, follow Xiao Shen, there is nothing wrong." Liu Xiaofeng sighed again.
As soon as the couple sang and reconciled, there was no need for Shen Cong to say anything else, and the two of them just made up the details that were not rounded up for her.
Although when I was at home, I heard the old man mention that you should be careful of rain after insects, but at that time, all thoughts were on insects. In fact, Chen didn't care much.
Hearing Shen Cong's old words again now, Shi Chen was just as happy as the first time he heard it.
The little face that was tanned by the sun was full of joy.
Liu Xiaofeng is a happy person, since Shen Cong has already said so, he immediately starts to act.
Instead of taking the potatoes, he packed his tattered bag and left the house on a second-hand bike he bought.
Although he lost one hand, he adapted very quickly, even riding a bicycle with one hand and riding fast and stably.
Several people stood on the roof, watching him leave the community quickly, the action was quite unrestrained.
"Xiaofeng is really neat." Shen Cong couldn't help but praise.
"He has been nimble since he was a child, not only nimble but also clean. In the past, we were all responsible for the hygiene of our store.
Originally we hired small workers. Do it yourself."
Zhou Ying responded with a smile.
She was busy with things in her hands, but her eyes kept following her husband's back until he completely disappeared from sight.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.
Seeing her like this, Shen Cong couldn't help but think of Gu Kai again, feeling a little impetuous in her heart.
If this was before, after all, I still had a mobile phone, and I could always find an opportunity to contact.
It's really hard to talk now.
Liu Tuan said that they will be back in a month at most, so just wait, wait for another month.
Shen Cong comforted himself in his heart.
At the same time, she also made up her mind that if Gu Kai and the others didn't come back by then, she would go to Liu Tuan and have a good talk.
In order to divert attention, and to start early and end early, Shen Cong began to work with a few people.
The roof was too hot, even though Cancan and Xiaoyu were clamoring to come up to help, she stopped them.
She took out a bag of peanuts that she brought back from home and gave them to the two little guys to peel them, and promised to cook brine peanuts for them at noon.
Then he deliberately turned out a tablet and placed it on the table to animate the two of them.
There are animations to watch, and at the same time, I can help the adults to work, and I can comfort the two children at once.
Seeing that they were no longer noisy, Shen Cong, Zhou Ying, and Shi Chen went upstairs again.
The work to be done today is mainly done by Shen Cong. She wants to remove all the iron nets on the top floor.
The worms are gone, and there is no use in keeping these iron nets.
It's nothing to be exposed to the sun now. If it rusts again after the rain, it will not be worth the loss.
"I forgot to ask Xiaofeng to buy some more anti-rust paint just now." Shen Cong felt a little regretful.
"Why do you buy anti-rust paint?" Shi Chen was puzzled.
"I want to take these nets back and make them into a tin house again. In case of rain, these vegetables don't need to be moved into the house." Shen Cong explained.
When he was in the community before, Shen Cong thought about building a few iron houses on the roof of his home, but his father refused.
But no matter how she thought about it, she felt that her proposal was actually a good one.
Since Dad doesn't agree, then she will do it on her own territory!
Now no one can make any more comments.
I had heard from her just now that there might be a long rainy season, so Shi Chen naturally wouldn't ask such stupid things as why he kept the vegetables in the house.
He thought about it and said, "Uncle Liu may not be able to buy something like anti-rust paint. It is also a limited supply now.
Auntie, let's dismantle it first. I will go to the base in the camp tomorrow. Let's see if they have any? If there is, why don't you buy some from them."
Because Shi Chen and the old man have been in charge of the maintenance of the formation in the entire Beining area, he is now very familiar with the personnel of various bases.
Moreover, he is young, has a good personality, and at the same time is responsible for very important things, so the people in those units also treat him differently.
Not to mention, if it is really a limited supply, Shi Chen will really be more efficient than Liu Xiaofeng.
The three of them worked together for a full day to remove all the barbed wire.
This is also because the little soldiers came back at night, and everyone helped together, otherwise it would not be finished in a day.
It may be because of Liu Tuan's explanation that after the little soldiers returned, they filled several large water tanks on the roof for watering flowers without saying a word.
They also had to fetch water for the family, but they were firmly stopped by Shi Chen.
Then the little soldiers helped them tidy up the dismantled barbed wire together, and also helped them shovel the soil spread out on the ground back to the flower pond.
Shen Cong didn't stop them when they were sitting on these things. After all, if the three of them were really required to do these tasks, it would be a bit too heavy.
Another point is that
the top floor is the top floor of four houses, and what they are doing now has far exceeded the workload that two families should do.
Although no one will care about this trivial matter, but having someone to help can really improve a lot of efficiency.
Originally, Shen Cong was already prepared to work overtime at night, but before it was completely dark, all the work that could be done had already been done.
Hearing that Shen Cong was going to use his supernatural powers to build a tin room tomorrow, the little warriors immediately became excited.
Some of them are in the regiment production base, but many are in other jobs.
There was no chance to see the scene where the power user used power before.
These little warriors were chosen to live here because of their excellent personal conditions.
The regiment hopes that they can get more contact with the formation, so as to have the opportunity to stimulate the ability.
But dozens of days passed, and none of them were lucky.
Now that I heard that Shen Cong was going to use his supernatural powers, a few young soldiers immediately asked to come over tomorrow to help with the work, and some people directly took it upon themselves, saying that the anti-rust paint was also wrapped around them.
Seeing the eagerness of the boys, Shen Cong had to promise that they would meet on the top floor at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
You know, she never thought about getting up so early!
What Shen Cong didn't expect was that these lads also gave her a great surprise.
When she pushed the door on time at 6 o'clock and came to the top floor, the guys not only watered the vegetable field on the entire roof, but also brought her back anti-rust paint.
It turned out that in order not to delay her use, the boys went back to the camp to get the paint in spite of their hard work last night.
This kind of honesty really leaves people speechless.
In fact, Shen Cong didn't have too many external movements when she used her powers. Most of the time, she relied on her mind to complete it.
It was as if she weaved those barbed wire nets, which she could skillfully weave very finely through her mind, and the holes in the middle of the nets were so small that not even a bug could crawl in.
But in fact, her hands are not so flexible. If she really makes it with her hands, she really can't make it like that.
Facing the admiring eyes of the boys, Shen Cong had to change his usual habits.
While using the ability, he also explained to them some methods and methods of using the ability in detail. At the same time, based on his own experience, he carefully described some changes in the body at various stages after the ability was activated.
At this time, she just casually remarked about her own experience, but she didn't know that these words played a crucial role in the few warriors among them.
The first rain this year in Bac Ninh came on October 25th, exactly 20 days before the last bug left.
It has been more than two years since the first earthquake.
When the first drop of rain fell on the ground, the whole city seemed to have been pressed the pause button, it was silent for a moment, and everyone was sluggish.
Then I don't know who screamed first, and then everyone went crazy, and the whole earth boiled!
Everyone screamed, jumped, dropped everything they were doing, rushed out of the house and went outside, looking up to receive the washing from the rain.
Everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to do. Many people simply took off their clothes and stood in the rain, letting the rain wash their bodies.
Although some people have realized that it is wrong and loudly discouraged, I hope that people will go home quickly and not stay in the rain.
But itâs really been too long, I havenât seen rain, and the most important thing is that deep down in my heart, Iâve been repressed for too long. The panic about the lack of water makes people a little carried away, and no one will listen to those persuasion in their hearts.
Until a child's cry suddenly came from the crowd: "Mom, my eyes hurt!"
Then someone started shouting: "My eyes got water! This rain is so dazzling!"
"My body is itchy!"
"This rain It's yellow!"
...
When these voices became louder and louder, people were finally awakened from ecstasy, and then everyone realized that the rain was not the nectar that they thought it was, but it was actually poisonous.
"It's acid rain! Run!"
"Ah, this rain will hurt your body!"
"It's acid rain, poisonous!" The
crowd instantly became a mess.
How surprised at the beginning, how much panic at this time.
When the government was notified and came out to evacuate the crowd, in fact, the people had almost run away, and there were no more people coming and going on the streets.
Everyone hid under the eaves, in the room, watching the fluttering drizzle with infinite fear and sadness in their hearts.
Some people are wiping their bodies desperately, some people are almost collapsing and weeping, while more people are looking at the drizzle, their expressions are numb.
Everyone was hit by the disasters one after another, one after another, and lost hope for the future.
This afternoon, a lot of people poured in at the overloaded hospital.
Most of them felt sick from the rain.
Most of them are eye pain, sore throat, and skin allergies.
Of course, there are some serious symptoms, those people will feel chest tightness, nausea, severe cough, and vomiting and other symptoms.
Some had lung disease or heart disease before, and many of those with high blood pressure were exacerbated by the sudden acid rain.
In three days, the death toll from this acid rain reached 103 in Bac Ninh alone.
This number alone does not seem to be a lot, and it is almost negligible when compared with the number of deaths in previous earthquakes.
But now it has been two years since the earthquake, and people's lives have gradually moved towards the right direction.
Even with the drought, starvation, and even insect infestation following the earthquake, the death toll in the entire Bac Ninh region has not been so many in a single week.
As soon as this number came out, the whole city fell into panic again.
The government is also not prepared for the sudden acid rain.
Although it hasn't rained for a long time, the air pollution in Bac Ninh is actually not serious.
Even if there have been land subsidences, high-rise buildings collapsed, and even land pollution caused by spraying pesticides.
But first of all, there are no volcanoes here, and there are no high pollution sources such as large chemical plants.
So no one would have thought that acid rain would actually occur under such circumstances. There is really no preventive measure at all.
Shen Cong also did not expect that the long-awaited rain would turn out to be an acid rain.
At this time, she could only be thankful that she responded in a timely manner at that time, forcibly holding a few people in the family, and did not let them go to the top floor and run wildly.
She didn't realize at the time that rainwater was corrosive.
She just felt that it hadn't rained for two years, and this first rain would take all the dirt out of the air, how dirty it was!
They tended to be a little bit of a cleanliness, so they forced them to go out.
Fortunately, the rain didn't last long. After three days, it gradually stopped, and people could finally leave the house and start life again.
After going out, everyone realized what kind of disaster this short acid rain brought them.
The metal on the outdoor buildings is all mottled from acid rain.
Because the interface between the wires and the streetlights was eroded, the few streetlights in the city were darkened again, and the city fell into semi-darkness again.
Some of the vegetables that were snatched from the insects' mouths were too late to be recovered, and now they have become pitted, and some of them have been directly burned to death.
Contamination of the land is once again the biggest problem.
The people in the government offices are busy again.
Shen Cong and Shi Chen also became busy.
They began to travel to and from the various planting bases, and began to build greenhouses with tin roofs.
Do your best to minimize losses.
The current Shen Cong can no longer make any predictions, and the development of things at this time is completely contrary to the previous life.
It did rain after the insect plague in my last life, and it continued for a long time, but it was definitely not acid rain.
She hadn't even seen what acid rain looked like, and she didn't even know that it could bring such a big disaster to people.
There used to be three children in the building where they lived in Fulin Community. Besides Cancan and Xiaoyu, there was also a little boy living on the twelfth floor.
The boy was younger than the two of them, about three or four years old.
Children who can survive the natural disaster can know how they are treasured by their family without thinking about it. It must be the efforts of the whole family to work hard to support and provide the best things for the children.
But just the night before, the child was gone.
The reason was that the child was playing outside in the rain, but the adults didn't stop him and took him to run wild for a while.
That rain triggered the child's asthma.
That night, everyone in one building saw the child's mother crying hoarsely, and heard his mother accuse him over and over again, blaming himself for being dizzy, why did he take the child downstairs?
Shen Cong thought, this mother may not be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
That night, Shen Cong barely slept all night, and went to find Liu Tuan early the next morning.
Rarely, she applied for a satellite phone for personal reasons, and she found Wei Yan and asked him to go home and ask about everyone's situation.
Fortunately, Wei Yan was in the community at that time, and he was working with the experts of the working group to study how to reduce the land pollution caused by acid rain.
After receiving her call, Wei Yan immediately laughed and said to her: "Second sister, don't worry, no one in our family is in trouble. You don't know who my aunt is? She is so particular!
I heard the elder sister say , As soon as she knew it was raining outside, Auntie took a rolling pin and sat at the door, saying that anyone who dared to go out would give it to anyone!
She was so frightened that neither Tong Tong nor Shan Shan dared to make trouble, and even my uncle just stood in the house and looked out. When I saw it, I didn't dare to take a step out of the house."
Shen Cong couldn't help but smile when she heard this, feeling that this was really something only her mother could do.
No need for Wei Yan to explain, Shen Cong understood the reason why her mother did this, and she must have disliked the first rain in the past two years because it was too dirty.
Knowing that the family was all right, Shen Cong also let go of his heart, and was able to start work without any distractions.
She can't get any news from her husband now, she can only persuade herself in her heart - no news is the best news.
At this time, work has become a means for her to reduce her thoughts.
Anyway, whether she wanted it or not, they were very busy for a long time after that, and she and Shi Chen didn't even go home.
Not only can't take care of anything at home, but even Cancan has been taken care of by Zhou Ying and his wife.
Both Shen Cong and Shi Chen have the same idea, that is, to do as much work as possible in the limited time, and try to do better preparations before the rainy season.
Two people often work together for a whole day, and sometimes they have to rush to the next production base during the day and night.
The two of them were really busy like a spinning top, and they didn't even know how much time had passed.
It wasn't until they built the iron house at the base farthest from Beining, the last stop of their line, and when they were about to return, a little soldier said inadvertently, " It's
going to be Chinese New Year soon." Realized it has been more than a month since it came out this time.
The end of December is almost here, and the end of the year is not even a few days away.
And Shen Cong then remembered Liu Tuan's promise to her.
Liu Tuan said that Gu Kai and the others will go out for at most a month this time, and they will definitely come back by then.
And now, even from the day he spoke, it had been more than a month.
But what about Gu Kai?
What about people?
Why hasn't any news come back?
Shen Cong suddenly felt like an arrow.
Chapter 99
Gu Kai and the old man returned to Beining on the third day after Shen Cong and the others returned home.
At that time, she and Shi Chen were resting at home.
Because they had worked for more than a month before, the work team gave them a few days off.
Shen Cong and the others were still thinking about going back to the community, bringing Father Shen, Mother Shen and Shen Xi to Fulin to play with them.
Speaking of which, from the earliest earthquake to the present, their family has hardly left the community, and the farthest is to go to Qingshan Town.
Now the environment is a little better, you can take the children out for a walk.
If nothing else, it's okay to go back to Fulin and welcome the New Year together here.
Therefore, when Liu â¡â¡ people came to ask Shen Cong to pick him up at the regimental headquarters, she was taking the Shi Chen brothers and sisters to clean up the house.
Knowing that Gu Kai and the others came back, everyone was very happy. Shen Cong handed over the hygiene of the house to the brothers and sisters, and went to drive by himself.
Until this time, she hadn't thought about why Liu Tuan, who was so handsome, would find someone to ask her to pick him up?
Why can't Gu Kai and the others go home by themselves?
Therefore, when she saw her father-in-law who was so thin, she was shocked.
The old man was lying on the bed in the guest house.
Although the old man insisted on sitting up when he saw her, the degree of weakness seemed to be strong.
In less than three months, the old man lost only a handful of bones.
So that Shen Cong was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had returned to the previous life, when the old man was about to die.
She was completely dumbfounded, standing there for a moment with palpitations, she just didn't dare to take a step forward.
"What are you doing, you don't know each other?"
Seeing the sluggish look   of his daughter-in-law, Gu Zhengchu smiled, and then said to her, "Take the things, let's go back, don't bother the leaders here." With a deeply apologetic face, Liu Tuan waved at him: "What do you have to be sorry for? This has nothing to do with you. I know my body, it's fine, just take care of it."
At this time, Shen Cong has already reacted, and her tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Although she could hear from her voice that her father-in-law was in a much better condition than in his previous life, she still couldn't accept the old man's sickness.
She wiped her eyes hard, but the tears could not be wiped away.
Although the old man has repeatedly said that it has nothing to do with Liu Tuan, so that he doesn't have to feel guilty, Shen Cong is not so energetic, she is a little angry!
Thinkâ
no matter who you represent, since we want to let our family go out to work, we should at least ensure their health and safety, right?
Is that what you promise? !
Thank you for being too embarrassed to tell me something before - it must be treated at the highest level.
It's still courtesy, but if it's not courtesy, can you still live? !
Because of the anger in her heart, she kept her face straight and didn't even look at Liu Tuan.
He just walked up to the old man and asked, "Dad, where's Gu Kai? Where has Gu Kai been?" The
old man glanced at Shen Cong, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
But he knew that his daughter-in-law was distressed for him. Although he knew in his heart that no one could do anything about this situation, it was pointless to express his anger, but he didn't want to say more in front of outsiders.
He had to say to Shen Cong: "Gu Kai has gone to the hospital, and he will be back in a while, let's wait for a while."
"Going to the hospital? What are you doing, he is injured?!" Shen Cong stood up straight.
She entered the door and saw that her husband was not in the room.
It's just that I was so shocked when I saw my father-in-law that I didn't ask for the first time.
But now that she heard that her husband had gone to the health center, and thinking of her father-in-law's current situation, she immediately turned to look at Liu Tuan with sharp eyes.
"What's wrong with Gu Kai? What's wrong with him?"
Although he had tried his best to control his emotions, his tone was aggressive, with a hint of asking for guilt.
Liu Tuan's scalp was numb when she saw it.
I can't help but laugh at myself.
I feel that I am so old when I say it, and I have been on the battlefield several times.
This really annoys people.
He is not easy to explain.
Seeing that Shen Cong was in a hurry to go out, he hurriedly stopped him: "Gu Kai is fine, but he was beaten a few times by the acid rain, and his skin is a little infected, so he needs to be dealt with.
Don't run away, I'll let someone take him there on an electric bike, you Driving, they should have returned before they got there."
Hit by acid rain?
Shen Cong quickly turned to look at her father-in-law.
Only then did I find that there were burn marks on the old man's forehead, temples and cheeks.
The burnt skin had turned into black spots.
It may be because the raindrops hitting the face are small, and the burned skin area is also relatively small.
It was dotted again, she thought it was age spots before, but she didn't notice it.
At this time, I realized that it was all scars left after being hit by acid rain.
Shen Cong's heart suddenly sank.
It has been more than a month since the acid rain in Beining, and looking at the marks on the father-in-law's face, it can be seen that it has almost healed.
And the place where Gu Kai was injured now has to go to the hospital for treatment, how serious is that? !
Being hit by acid rain, will it hurt for more than a month?
Is this soaked by the rain?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, how could she stay for a while?
I just want to rush over to my husband immediately to see it for myself.
Fortunately, at this time, there were footsteps and the voices of several people outside.
"It's back!" Liu Tuan said first.
Then he opened the door faster than Shen Cong.
Gu Kai, who had just reached the door, hadn't even knocked when the door suddenly opened, and just as he was about to speak, he met his wife's tearful eyes.
His eyes moved, his eyes became fiery and eager.
A smile appeared on his face, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Cong pulled him in.
Because Shen Cong was too eager, the movements on his hands were a little heavier. He didn't know where he touched Gu Kai, and the pain caused him to frown slightly.
But the smile on Gu Kai's face didn't change at all, he held Shen Cong with his backhand, his palm was hot.
Because there were outsiders, he didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be glued to his wife, and he didn't want to take it away at all.
But Shen Cong was paying attention to his body with all his heart at the moment, even the slightest changes could not be concealed from her eyes.
She naturally saw that Gu Kai was in pain.
So he completely chose to ignore this kind of gesture at this time.
Without saying a word, she shook off Gu Kai's hand and rolled up his sleeve.
Then he was startled by the patches of red, swollen, oozing, and large festering skin on his arm.
Shen Cong's tears flowed out again at once.
Although she was mentally prepared and knew that he was injured, she couldn't imagine her husband's injury was so serious without seeing it with her own eyes.
In such a hot weather, everyone else was sweating in short sleeves, but Gu Kai was wearing a long-sleeved shirt when he entered the door.
So as soon as Shen Cong saw him, he knew that the injury must be in his arm.
But she didn't expect his arm to rot like this!
There are still some scorching marks on the skin, needless to say where the acid rain has hit.
I don't know where they encountered the acid rain, but the concentration is so high!
I knew it was rain, but if I didn't know it, I thought it was sulfuric acid!
Can burn the skin like this.
Apart from the burn marks, the scariest thing on Gu Kai's arm was the tiny blisters, the granular rash, and the exuding and festering skin.
Although these places have been treated at this time and the medicine has been applied, it still looks shocking.
Seeing that Shen Cong started crying regardless, seeing Liu Tuan standing next to him and a few other people in the group, he couldn't stand anymore, and Gu Kai also had a headache.
He knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment, and he would definitely be angry with his wife if he said anything.
He had to change the subject: "Did you come by car? Is there a pillow in the car? Dad may have to lie down."
"Yes." Shen Cong nodded with a sob.
Now that Gu Kai has come back, she doesn't want to stay here any longer, she can go home and talk about anything.
And the conditions at home are a little better than here, at least there is a formation, which is also good for the old man's recovery.
Although Gu Kai didn't look much thinner from the outside, Liu Tuan didn't dare to use him right now!
Knowing that they were leaving, he immediately sent a little soldier to ride back with them in the car, so that the old man could be carried upstairs on his back.
Ever since Shen Cong left home, Shi Chen kept looking at the window.
Seeing that the car entered the community, he didn't stay in the house for a minute, and went downstairs directly.
When he saw that the old man was carried off the car, the young man was also frightened and his lips were white.
He hurried over and supported the old man's waist from behind, and then asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"It's alright, it's alright, don't be afraid." The old man smiled at him: "I just got hurt a little bit. A little thing."
Although he said so, how could Shi Chen believe it?
He bit his lip, helped Shen Cong take the large and small bags he brought back, and went upstairs with the group.
It is impossible for the old man to carry the old man on his back at the same time on the nineteenth floor. On the way, Gu Kai wanted to exchange with the little warrior, but was stopped by Shi Chen.
He bent down and carried Mr. Gu on his back, but as soon as he got up, his eyes were red.
He didn't expect the old man to be so light, the lightness made him feel that he couldn't sink any deeper than Chanchan's back.
It's not like an adult's weight at all.
Thinking about the spirited old man before he left, and then looking at the thin and fluffy old man now, Shi Chen gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Just when no one was paying attention, he rubbed his face on his shoulder and wiped away the tears that flowed out.
...
the little soldier left after sending them home.
Several people immediately carried the old man into his bedroom.
Fortunately, Shi Chen and Cancan had already cleaned up the room just now. Knowing that they were coming back soon, they even washed the sheets and quilts and dried them.
After confirming that there were no outsiders at home, Shen Cong couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Gu Kai and began to ask them the reason for their injuries.
Chapter 100
"None of us were hurt." Before Gu Kai could speak, the old man spoke first.
He lay on the bed and pointed at Shen Cong with a helpless face: "You are so old, and you are so impatient, you don't give people a chance to talk.
Look at the face you gave Liu Tuan just now, I don't even know it. Fa said you.
The two of us are fine, but we suffered a little crime on the way back. Xiao Kai was drenched in acid rain, and then he had no medicine. Who knows why he became allergic? Wasn't this problem before?!"
"That's not because the resistance has dropped, he has never suffered this crime before!"
Shen Cong muttered dissatisfiedly.
The old man was so thin and bony lying on the bed, even if he was in good spirits, it made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked.
So even if he was said a few words, Shen Cong didn't dare to argue.
But being silent doesn't mean you're acquiescing in your heart.
Anyway - no matter what her father-in-law said, she was dissatisfied with Liu Tuan's arrangement this time!
It's okay to say that she doesn't have a big picture, and it's okay to say that she cares about Xiaojia and everyone else, anyway...she's just very unhappy.
And he wasn't prepared to hide his dissatisfaction.
She was about to speak again, when Shi Chen next to her spoke first.
"Grandpa, don't talk about my aunt, looking at you and my uncle makes me feel bad.
I didn't go to the regiment, if I do, I have to ask Liu Tuan how they protect you. A good person went out and came back so sick ?
Is it so irresponsible? What kind of thing
! Auntie, I will go to the working group tomorrow
and say, let's quit!
Those who like to find someone, I won't go anyway.
If it's a big deal, I'll go out to look for odd jobs. I can't do it, let's go back to the community! We don't stay here in Beining anymore, we won't be so idle!
This is too annoying, too much! "
Shi Chen said, his eyes turned red again.
The young man has been following the old man Gu since he joined the work group. Although he said he was helping him, it is actually no different from the real grandson. The
old man treated illness and saved people all his life . Kind -hearted.
Shi Chen is sensible and diligent, and has such a distressing experience. The old man naturally treats him sincerely.
So the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better.
When he carried the old man upstairs just now, Shi Chen I have already cried secretly.
At this moment, when I heard grandpa accuse Aunt Shen, and there was a tone of excuse for Liu Tuan, the child couldn't hold back.
He was different from Shen Cong.
Shen Cong knew that the two were named by the headquarters. Although they were sent abroad, Shi Chen always thought that they were going to perform tasks for the regiment.
Since he was working for the regiment, Liu Tuan, as the leader of the regiment, had such a big problem with his subordinates. Shi Chen âs responsibility!
So, when I heard that Gu Kai had been drenched in acid rain, there was still no medicine, and he had a problem. Shi Chen exploded all of a sudden!
The father and son knew that Shen Cong was a domineering temperament. They couldn't tolerate their family being wronged, but they didn't expect Shi Chen to do the same.
Seeing the child jumping around in anger, the father and son rubbed their brows at the same time.
"Okay, stop screaming, sit down and listen to me. Gu Kai looked at Shi Chen and pointed at the bench next to him.
Shi Chen didn't sit down, but got up and went out.
He ran to the kitchen, took out the children's milk powder in the cupboard, and poured a cup for each of them. He brought it over and handed it to the two of them before they sat down.
That milk powder was taken out by Shen Cong and given to Cancan to drink. Usually, Chen Cong put it high, let alone people drink it, so that no one can see it.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to pour such two thick cups for the two of them.
Knowing that this was the child's intention, Gu Kai did not refuse.
He raised his glass and took a sip.
It seemed that he hadn't had such a delicious drink for a long time, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
It took a long time to swallow the milk slowly.
Then he looked at the two people in the room and said, "I don't blame anyone for this. No one treats us badly. On the contrary, because Dad is not in good health, we have received various preferential treatment in the past few months.
Because Dad can't eat them . The pancakes, several little soldiers saved their dried fish and vegetable porridge for Dad to eat every day.
They relied on the pancakes for more than a month, and they didnât want to touch anything else.â
Speaking of which, Gu Gu said Kai was silent for a while, and it could be seen that his heart was also fluctuating greatly.
After Gu Kai's narration, Shen Cong and Shi Chen realized that although everyone always felt that Beining was hard, that life in Beining was difficult, and that living here was like a year, it was because there was no comparison.
After really going out, look at other places to live, and then you will really realize that living in Bac Ninh is like living in a blessing nest.
"We used to say that Wei Yan said that the disaster here is not serious, and it is good compared to many places.
At that time, we thought that this statement was exaggerated, but if you go out and look at it, you will know what he said. How objective."
Gu Kai sighed.
"We didn't feel much when we went, because we were in a hurry at the time, and we went directly to the capital by helicopter. Then we went back to their country with the visiting group from country E.
Along the way, there was either a plane or a special car, and the stops in various places were also given the best care, so I didn't have a deep understanding of the disaster.
We really realize that this catastrophe has dragged humanity to the brink of extinction, after arriving in country E. "
Gu Kai told Shen Cong and the two of them that the working group they sent to Country E had a total of twelve people.
In addition to their father and son and Meng Chao, there were also Mr. Yang Huaisheng, Mr. Yang and Chen Li.
Chen Li was the only one in the original expert group. A person who has evolved an ability, and the ability he evolved is still the most scarce at the moment, the same water-type ability as Cancan.
Maybe because of his good physical fitness, his ability evolution did not take long to advance.
Although the country is now There is no specific standard for the level of power, but let Gu Kai see that his power level is definitely higher than that of Cancan.
Apart from Chen Li and Mr. Yang, there are two other members of the remaining working group. Both of them have wood-type abilities like Gu Kai.
Apart from them, the remaining five are security personnel and outreach personnel specially arranged by the country.
Such a working group has received The level of welcome can be imagined.
And as Liu Tuan said, the other party did give them the highest level of VIP treatment. However, even if   it
is VIP treatment, the premise must be linked to the strength of the country at this time.
It is not a country with developed agriculture. Before the end of the world, they lived by exchanging energy for food.
When natural disasters came, their domestic agriculture was fundamentally hit hard. The key point is that the neighboring countries have no A country is willing to sell food to them.
No matter how much energy they exchange, no one is willing.
"They have already been forced to go to our country for help, so you can imagine the situation in their own country. "
Gu Kai smiled bitterly and said, "More than half of their citizens have died because of the famine. Now even the senior officials with the best living conditions have limited real food for a day, and most of them eat   substitutes. , the pancakes they sent... Dad couldn't eat a single bite."
"Substitutes? What substitutes?" Shi Chen asked curiously.
It was only now that he knew that Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu were going abroad.
The child has never been abroad, and is naturally very interested in the outside world.
Gu Kai looked at Shen Cong, but did not answer immediately.
Shen Cong immediately thought of the kind of worms he ate in his previous life, which was dried and ground into powder, and couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
She clenched her fist and patted on her chest, suppressing the nausea, and asked a little hesitantly, "Insect?"
Gu Kai nodded.
When he saw his wife take out the strangely colored wowatou from the space, he was shocked beyond words.
Can't imagine how to eat and import that kind of thing at all? !
Unexpectedly, he saw something similar in country E, and as his wife described it, it was the main food for most people in a country.
"It's not just insects, but also some seaweed and various dried fish. Country E is close to the sea, and there are still some seafood products."
Gu Kai comforted him in order to fear that his wife would feel sad when he heard it, "the rations they gave us were all It's the highest level, the best thing they can come up with."
It's just that the best thing is still hard to come by.
Even if Gu Kai is more secretive, Shen Cong can still hear it clearly, she has had this experience too.
Whether it is dried worms or dried fish, these are not serious food for people who have come from China.
Young people can't eat and can still rely on physical strength to support him. When the father-in-law is old, how can he endure it?
Moreover, because Beining hasn't run out of ammunition and food, and everyone hasn't eaten dried worms, Shen Cong didn't mention it.
Actually the bug is poisonous.
They get eaten by the chickens without hindrance and are even good feed.
But it is probably a foreign protein that cannot be absorbed by the human body?
Or for other reasons, Shen Cong didn't understand either.
Anyway, in the past life, many people had different allergic reactions after eating the bug.
Mild cases of itching, vomiting, nausea, and severe cases are all over the place.
Of course, there are some lucky people, such as Shen Cong, who were inspired by this bug powder.
But that's very few after all.
Shen Cong realized that the father-in-law's body collapsed like this, not only because he couldn't eat the things over there, but more likely because he couldn't absorb the things that contained insect powder, and he was allergic.
And my husband's skin problems, in addition to acid rain, are also likely to be related to those who eat.
Thinking of this, she felt a deep anger and helplessness in her heart.
The anger isâshe was reborn, and she did everything she could to make all kinds of preparations in order to make her family live better, but who would want the people closest to her to suffer this kind of sin.
The helpless thing is that she doesn't have to ask, these two people will definitely not only have no regrets, but also feel deeply proud.
Sure enough, seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Kai continued: "Don't be angry, aren't we coming back? Dad and I are both fine, just take care of it.
In fact, it's not just us, everyone is healthy It's not very good, Mr. Yang's fat person has lost a lot of weight now. But
we have also gained something from this trip, and the country has signed several large orders! It won't be long before we ordinary people will be able to use electricity. That's it!"
When he said the last sentence, Gu Kai's eyes shone brightly.
