"Then I will make some arrangements. Yingchun is weak and will wait for us here. Besides, I said not to act alone recently, so everyone should go together in twos. Bai Lu, you will take care of it. By the way, pick up some firewood and light it up at night. For dinner, try to watch the charcoal fire, and Yunwen and I will go over and deal with it, and we will come back in the afternoon to finish eating, and finish the work in a few days." I said.

"Okay, then I'll prepare dinner and wait for you, but Brother Zhou Bo, what if you encounter one, isn't it very dangerous? Also, the stone seems to be piled up by the people of Milongying by a special method. It takes a lot of people, are the two of you enough to fill it up?" Song Bailu asked.

"Before I came out, I saw that the white-winged moths were all on fire one by one. The so-called moths jumping into the flames, this biological phenomenon cannot be escaped, so it is certain that few of the adults in this batch can survive Even if it survives, it may be one or two lucky ones. If I meet it, I will kill it. I have already figured out its routine, so don't be afraid. As for the pile-up thing, I can use our The method, as long as the light is blocked, the next batch of moths will not be attracted by the light outside, and nothing will happen." I said.

"Well, it's very reasonable, go early and return early." Bai Lu said.

Immediately I took Yunwen down the mountain, and I really walked a section of the iron ladder, which was covered with rust spots and overgrown with weeds, as if it was the road of an abandoned factory, but I saw this kind of modernization in such a barren and inhabited place. It is inevitable that there will be a feeling of a world away.

Going down the iron ladder, I came to the iron gate. I groped around and found a gate. I pulled it down, and the door opened immediately. After I walked out, the door closed automatically. Since it had not been used for a long time, It is estimated that the pulleys and the like are out of oil, no matter whether they are opened or closed, they are extremely slow, which can be described as a turtle speed, and there is also a loud rattling sound, and it feels like it will stop and be scrapped at any time.

If the gate can be opened and closed, it means that there is still electricity here. Otherwise, what is the power to push and pull this old broken iron gate?Since there is electricity, there must be a power source, but where does the electricity come from outside this wilderness?This is too strange to think about carefully.

However, we have already decided to leave here after a while, so we don't want to meddle in our own business, to study these things carefully, the most urgent thing is to finish the matter at hand, and we don't have extra thoughts.

Out of the iron gate, after the gate is automatically closed, there is a piece of mountain wall, it is impossible to tell whether it is true or not, and outside is the city wall and mountain road, I took Yunwen along, walked for a long time, passed the threshing land. In the wheat field, after a short walk, you will reach the "corpses all over the field" area, where the corpses of the meat worms are everywhere, and many birds are eating carefully.

Before those raptors come, they still have many opportunities to eat.

Walking past the stone statue holding a weapon, a scorching smell hit the face, the walls and opening of the cave inside were burnt black, and a large baking kiln was formed alive.

"Zhou Bo, look!" Yun Wen pointed to a place in front of her and said excitedly.

I looked in the direction she was pointing at, and saw that the wooden barrel used for grain storage had not been burned, but remained.

"I understand. Fortunately, the big wooden barrel was placed near the entrance of the cave. It was drenched by rain before, and there was a meat worm not far in front of it that fully served as a barrier for the flames, so the wooden barrel was not burned and remained. Come down, those wheats are all intact if you think about it." I said.

"Yes, it's because you have kindness in your heart, thinking that other people will not suffer from the plague of insects, so you came here on purpose to block the entrance of the cave, otherwise we would not know that the wheat is still intact, and everything is good and good will be rewarded." Yun Yun Wen said with a smile.

I smiled at her too.

Since the wheat was still intact, I quickly took it out and brought it back. The first thing I thought of was the wooden cow and horse at the bottom of the mountain, so I went to push it back up the stone steps from the bottom of the mountain with great effort. The so-called going down the mountain is easier than going up the mountain, so that's the reasoning, and it was pushed back with great difficulty.

My symptoms of falling after the fire haven’t fully healed yet. My lungs are sore and hot. If it weren’t for the active physical exercise on weekdays, my body can bear it and have such endurance. It is easy to give up halfway when it comes to stepping up the steps. I am really grateful for the training methods left in the army, and I am also grateful for my perseverance.

With Mu Niu Liuma, Yunwen and I transferred all the wheat to the wooden trough of Mu Niu Liuma, but only half of it was filled, so we sent it back, and it happened that Song Yingchun also repaired it. I knocked it down, and then I often had some small problems, which caused me to be delayed and almost eaten by a gu eagle.

Therefore, it was just for Yingchun Xiu to repair and use it again, and the wheat brought back was packed in tents. After two trips, almost all of them were shipped back. On the third trip, I took the stone mill out of the cave by the way. Take it out, take it apart, put it in the wooden groove, and push it back.

The stone mill was covered with green slurry, but it was not easy to come by, so I still plan to continue to wash it and use it as it dries up, not in vain when I almost lost my life when I got the raw materials.

After Yunwen and I transported these back, we handed them over to Bailu for cleaning, and we set off again, this time for our original purpose, to block the entrance of the cave.

The method is very simple. Dig a pit at the entrance of the cave, find a usable soil basin made before Yingchun from the cave, go up the mountain to take the mountain spring, pour it into the pit, mix the soil and water to make the mud, and then use it For the stones at the entrance of the cave, start with a layer of stones, and then put a layer of soil and mud on it.

Relying on the cohesiveness of the soil, the stones are glued together, and the gaps are fully filled to completely seal them.

Yunwen and I worked on each side, and the speed was much faster. About half of the cave entrance was sealed in the afternoon, and the rest can be completed tomorrow, and we dare not wait until it is too late to go back, otherwise it will be dark , and then encounter some big meat worms appearing, it will be difficult to handle.

Just enough.

So we went up the stone steps to the mountain spring to wash our hands and wipe our bodies, then hurried back, passed a large section of the city wall and mountain road, and arrived at the hidden iron gate, opened the gate, and returned to the current camp.

At this time, there was a smell of baked dough, and the fragrance of wheat immediately came, which made my taste buds restless, and I kept swallowing my saliva.

"Bai Lu, what did you do? It smells so good?" I asked hastily.

"My sister has been busy all afternoon, cleaning the stone mill, washing wheat, drying and grinding flour, and flour, just for the baked naan for tonight's meal, you have to thank you very much My sister, she has worked very hard." Song Yingchun said, looking more energetic.

I was about to thank you, but I heard Bai Lu say: "Everything should be done. Brother Zhou Bo and sister Yunwen really worked hard. They traveled all afternoon, transporting food and filling holes. They worked hard for everyone. , This is what should be praised, I just got something to eat, it's nothing."

"Sister Bailu, don't say that. We all owe it to you to eat a delicious meal when we are tired. Sister Yingchun is right. I should really thank you, right, Zhou Bo." Yunwen said.

"This baked naan is not only food, but also brings hope and courage. I should thank you. Thank you, Bailu." I said seriously.

She laughed at such hypocritical words, covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Okay, come and eat quickly, thank you, thank you, there should be no end."

Baked naan is baked with a flat stone that has been washed and covered with dough. It has a special fragrance, and it can also be served with some special ingredients such as sansho pepper, star anise, and fennel. pie feeling.

When Bai Lu handed me a piece of it, it was wrapped with some salty wild vegetables. I was eating it when I suddenly felt something was wrong. When I scoured it from my mouth, I unintentionally took out a piece of bacon!
