Chapter 370 The Drought Is Getting Worse
Ye Shengge agreed with Tangtang's words, who knows what the history of this world is like.In the future, there may be a large number of Zhizhi going to the countryside. If the drought and the economy still do not ease, the future will only become more and more difficult.

"I have not had a single rain in the half a year since I came to Bairong Brigade."

Such endless words made everyone at the dinner table silent, and Ye Shengge couldn't get down to the ground and didn't know what was going on in the ground.

"Now the fields are obviously dry, and the water level of the river has dropped a lot. The south has become like this. Think about what the north looks like."

Old Fan sighed, thinking of all this, he couldn't eat anymore.

"The last time I went back to the hospital, it seemed that many people lost a lot of weight. Then my parents sent me so many food stamps every month, and they didn't have enough to eat. Why was I so careless? Why didn't I ask my family Happening."

Ye Shengge patted Chen Tangtang. Even if she asked Chen Ma, she wouldn't tell the truth.

"Send some food back home, we are not short of food."

Father Ye has been working in the fields recently, and there is no one in the village who does not worry.

"If it doesn't rain, the Bairong brigade won't be able to last long, and it will only become more and more difficult for the whole country."

"I heard from the village chief that he is going to take people to the mountains to grow some food secretly, so that if the time is really dry and there is no harvest, it will be a good topping."

The old party also sighed, they are afraid of starvation at their age.

"Why don't we go up the mountain to plant some sweet potatoes or something, don't wait until the village has no food to eat, we still eat so well."

Mr. Fan has always been afraid that their family would be too conspicuous, and that when the villagers were all starving, they would be fine if they didn't look thin.

Papa Ye pondered for a moment. It is impossible for them to be short of food, but Mr. Fan's worry cannot be ignored. After all, they still have to live in the village.

"This matter has to be taken seriously, and then we will follow the villagers. From now on, we must keep a low profile, and don't talk about what we eat and drink at home."

In fact, Ye's father said these words to Chen Tangtang. The Ye family and the Bai family have always kept a low profile and hardly interacted with the villagers.Only the women in the family like to listen to gossip, but they are limited to listening, and rarely talk about family affairs outside.

Chen Tangtang nodded. Although she dated Ouyang, she never wasted food. After all, she used to live very economically at home.It's a habit, and you can't change it.

Zi Yisheng and Ye Muen heard about everyone's discussions when they came back from the mountain at night, but they are the ones who know best about the black market.Now the price of food in other black markets has been rising, only their black market is still keeping the price unchanged.

"The situation outside is worse than what we know. Haven't you noticed that it's only February and it's already getting hot? The weather is so abnormal, if it continues like this, it will be a national catastrophe."

The Ye family's worries exist in many families across the country. Farmland irrigation does not work, and more and more food is imported from abroad, while the already poor country and people are even poorer.

"The family members don't add new clothes in the future, and slowly patch up the previous clothes. Also, as long as everyone at home has to go to work in the field."

Father Ye made the final decision and went to other homes for meetings. These are what they have to do now.

The next day, people in the village discovered that Ye Jiabai's family had significantly more workers. In addition to herding sheep, Ye Shengge also mowed grass with Chen Tangtang, earning four work points a day.

Even Qi Luquan followed him to work in the fields, although he was not used to it, he persisted.Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, and Old Man Ouyang are also doing some simple jobs, earning three work points a day.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I have already put on short sleeves in less than April.The Bairong brigade has secretly planted sweet potatoes and corn on the mountain, but no one has set foot on the western mountain.

Ye Shengge and Qi Xuan Chen Tangtang also went up the mountain every day, and their family also planted a lot of food. It seemed that the situation on the mountain was better, and the food was obviously much better than that grown down the mountain.The few of them spend a little time every day weeding to see if the food has been spoiled by small animals.

Today, Bai Chufan went up the mountain with three girls, and the food was scattered on the mountain, so there were many places to go.

"It's so hot today, I'm tanned."

Qi Xuan's complexion was not very fair, but now the only skin exposed is the whitest in the palm of his hand, and his teeth are even more shiny when he smiles.

"Didn't you get more sun in Wubingshan before?"

"No, the temperature on the Foggy Ice Mountain is very low, and the vegetation is so lush that there are not many opportunities to get sun."

"Come and take a look, the sweet potato seedlings have been harmed by animals."

The three of them ran forward quickly when they heard Bai Chufan's voice. They contributed the most to the food, and they felt distressed when they heard that they were harmed.

Chen Tangtang was the first to run over, and when he saw dozens of sweet potato seedlings that had been gnawed, he became angry.

"Can you see what animal gnawed it? I must catch it."

Bai Chufan frowned as he looked at the footprints on the ground.

"The footprints are quite big. It's dangerous here. Go down the mountain first. I'm afraid the beast will come back."

"I won't leave. If I don't catch it, I'm afraid there won't be any seedlings tomorrow."

Qi Xuan looked around the footprints, and then at the shovel in his hand.

"Let's dig some traps nearby, which can prevent wild animals and catch wild animals to eat."

Ye Shengge had no experience at all, so he could only listen to Qi Xuan discussing with his eldest cousin. The two still had a decent range of choices.

"Only these places, let's dig out three today."

Ye Shengge put on her gloves and worked honestly. She was no longer the Ye Shengge who only knew how to herd sheep and cut grass.The exercise in the past two months can completely earn five work points, and it is no problem to dig a hole.

When Zi Yicheng and Ye Muen came over, they saw Ye Shengge sweating profusely from work, and even his clothes were soaked in sweat.

After seeing the footprints on the ground, my heart sank. Generally, large animals will not go to the edge of the mountain. Getting them out of the deep mountain proves that the deep mountain lacks food, or there is a greater danger.

"We must inform the villagers that we must go up the mountain together in the future, otherwise we will not be able to run in case of danger."

With the participation of Zi Yicheng and Ye Muen, six traps were dug directly, and they blocked all the food planted.

"Let's go, I will accompany you to the mountain tomorrow."

The village head held a meeting immediately after hearing the news. They have more experience than Zi Yisheng and the others.

"Something happened in the mountain. Tomorrow I will send someone to go to the deep mountain to have a look, so we can have a plan."

Now the water in the river in the village has dropped by half, and the rice fields have to be irrigated every few days, otherwise rice cannot be grown at all.It can also be seen that the water in the well has dropped. Now the Bairong Brigade and nearby brigades have asked the villagers to save water.
