Start Ancient: Take your family and lie down in the natural disaster to win

Chapter 218 218 Can’t just sit back and rest in vain

Old Mrs. Hua had already expected it, but she still couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the old man say it. After all, after living there for decades, everything at home and outside the house was purchased bit by bit, and she put all her affection into it.

The old lady, whose nose was sore, sat next to the old man and patted his hand.

"It's okay. We just need to rebuild our home after it's gone. Our family is better than anything else."

"Yes, we are all fine." Old Man Hua nodded and gave his wife an ugly smile.

Hua Chengtian on the side looked at his parents worriedly. Fortunately, although the two elders were sad for a while, they got better soon and were relieved.

Hua Jin grinned and cuddled up next to her grandma, making jokes and making jokes, which made them uneasy.

When they are in a bad mood, let them have no time to think about things and just find something to do.

It is sad to lose Hua Jin in the family, but as long as there is money, there is no need to worry, but the prerequisite is that the family must be able to survive the disasters sent by God.

"Grandma, I don't know how long it will rain this time. Is it time for us to get back to our old profession?"

"What's your job?" The old couple looked at each other and looked at their granddaughter in confusion.

So...what is their old profession?
Hua Jin laughed out loud: "Grandma, have you forgotten our winter vegetables?"

"The rain is so heavy, and it doesn't seem to be stopping. Even though we packed up all the vegetables at home when we went up the mountain, we won't be able to eat the fresh ones for long. Didn't we bring all the vegetable boxes with us, Master?" It’s time for you to use your remaining energy.”

As he spoke, he winked at the two elders, speaking in a cadence and full of passion.

Looking at their granddaughter who was trying to distract them from finding something to do for them, Old Lady Hua and Old Man Hua couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, that's right, we Jin'er thought about it in time, and we really can't just sit back and rest in vain." Mrs. Hua looked at her granddaughter dotingly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's plant it now." Old Man Hua's interest was also aroused.

The child is right, instead of having time to feel sorry for oneself, it is better to grow some vegetables so that everyone can eat them.

As he said that, he walked towards the boxes containing soil placed in the innermost parts.

It took a lot of effort to transport these boxes, and the family's cows and horses were very tired. Thanks to them, the family saved a lot of energy.

After successfully mentioning her grandpa's passion, Hua Jin secretly felt proud, then followed her over and started working with her grandpa.

For this reason, Hua Chengtian gave his daughter a clever look of appreciation, and then hurriedly helped.

Since I decided to grow vegetables, of course I wanted to grow them well, so I finally decided to move all the boxes under the rocks outside the cave.

There is no light all year round in the cave. Although vegetables can grow, it is impossible to grow well without light.

Although the bottom of the rock is fenced off, a few windows were left at the top when the stone was laid, so that light can still be seen during the day.

Of course, the Hua Yun'ao brothers didn't dare to idle around helping out, otherwise their grandfather and father would roll their eyes to death.

In the end, the wooden boxes in the cave were not just able to be moved out. In line with the principle of not wasting space, Hua Chengtian and his son got busy again, preparing to make more large wooden boxes. After planting everything, they must be more diverse. A few varieties, if feasible, can be grown and then some food can be planted next spring. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.

The most important thing is that these can also be used as cover, and new things in the girl’s space can also be brought out.

In the next time, those who planted vegetables and those who made wooden boxes made wooden boxes. Everyone had something to do. Time passed quickly. A few days passed quickly, and everyone's mood had already recovered.

Knowing that the village chief was growing vegetables in the cave, every household in the cave could not help but start to try to grow vegetables.There is no shortage of grains and pickles for everyone. Even potatoes can be eaten for a long time, and there is no shortage of vegetables in a short time.

Which family didn't have a vegetable garden, and they were all used to living a good life, so they all plowed it out when they went up the mountain.

But fresh vegetables can't stand to be stored, and they will wilt and turn yellow in a few days. They have to pickle them to prevent them from being stored. If you want to eat fresh vegetables, you can only go out and dig wild vegetables.

But it’s not easy to dig wild vegetables in the heavy rain outside. The village chief’s family reminded them. Fortunately, they also took their wooden boxes with them when they went up the mountain. They thought they were made of wood and couldn’t waste it. They didn’t expect this. It came in handy, but the mud inside took some work.

Fortunately, the mountain they were on was surrounded by mountains with rich vegetation and soil. As long as they were not afraid of working hard to get some soil, it would not be a problem.

So almost every family sent two or three people to collect soil from the adjacent mountains. Some even dug up a lot of wild vegetables, which solved the problem of vegetable leaves at home.

At that time, after the unremitting efforts of the rain these days, the height of the flood had risen to several feet high on the mountain. The forest at the foot of the mountain was completely submerged. The chance of surviving if you accidentally fell was very small.

Everyone was very careful every step they took when climbing to the neighboring mountain. Fortunately, the mountains in front, back, left and right were adjacent to each other, otherwise the mountain they were on might have become an isolated island surrounded by floods.

Several hundred people going out together are quite intimidating, and they can drive away many beasts just by looking at the number.

Therefore, although everyone was worried, it went smoothly. Not only did they dig enough soil and wild vegetables, but some lucky ones also caught a few pheasants and rabbits to improve the food for the family.

After a whole day of tossing back and forth, we also got a lot of firewood. With these, everyone can stay in the mountains comfortably in a short period of time.

I just hope that the incessant rain will stop soon.

The days in Huajia Village were relatively comfortable, but the lives of the people hiding in other mountains in Shanggu Town were miserable.

People who were lucky enough to escape on the day of the flood instinctively climbed to higher ground, trying to find a place where they could stay away from the flood and still hide.

Unfortunately, apart from hiding in the mountains in advance, most people have no good choice at all. Fortunately, those with more supplies can build a simple shed using tarpaulin and nearby materials.

Most of the people who fled to the mountains in a hurry lost many of their belongings and had to build simple sheds using nearby trees, grass and vines.

If you're lucky enough to find a rock as a shelter, at least you don't have to worry about rain. These good places in Shandong have already been occupied by those who arrived first, so it's their turn.

Unless there is sufficient force, there will be bloodshed just to snatch a cave.

Most of these caves are occupied by rich and powerful people or people with large families, or they are infested with people. They are so easy to rob.

After solving the housing problem, we faced the food problem.

The villages that went up to the mountains in advance to avoid disasters were lucky. They were well prepared. All food and other things were moved up the mountains together, so they didn't have to worry about it for a year and a half.

Most of these villages are gathered together in one place and are relatively united. Especially when a disaster strikes and there is no luck, they become even more united. Even if someone has bad intentions, they have to weigh their own abilities.

But for people who are unprepared and flee to the mountains in a hurry or who accidentally throw away food when floods come, food is the most urgent thing, followed by clothing to keep out the cold.

The only good thing is that there are still some wild vegetables, fruits, chestnuts, etc. that can be dug up in the mountains. If you are lucky, you can also hunt some pheasants, hares and other small prey. It is not a problem to get half full, but you have to find ways to wear warm clothes.

Especially as it rains and the temperature gets lower and lower, especially at night, those who lack warm clothing can only huddle together to keep each other warm.

My mind was racing as I thought about the chaos of escaping, so I secretly walked down the mountain. Not to mention that I actually found a lot of things, including food, clothes, quilts and so on.
