Later, Hua Chengtian and Mr. Hua, who was accompanied by Luo Song to collect grain seeds from each family, went to Wei Dapeng, Dr. Sun, and Pork Rong to have a look at them, and they were all placed before dark.

When the three families saw the village chief coming in person, they all welcomed him happily.

Can you not welcome them? They just moved here and they lacked everything except the house they brought with them. They were also thinking that the village chief could help them introduce people to the village. They were also thinking about whether they could exchange money for some coarse salt or grain. .

Not surprisingly, they should live in this home for a long time.

It was indeed as they thought. They all bought coarse salt, but they bought it from the village chief's house. The family gave them half a catty, and the grain was bought by the village chief at the villagers' houses.

Although the price is a bit higher than usual, I am grateful to my ancestors for being able to buy food now. At least I no longer have to eat wild vegetable roots and bark every day that I have eaten until I vomited.

That night, more than a dozen families slept the most peaceful sleep in more than a year, knowing that they would receive grain tomorrow.

I got up early the next morning and hurriedly went down the mountain to collect grain seeds. The temperature was rising continuously, and it would be possible to plant grain on the mountain in a few days.

But they saw that the young and old men in Huajia Village were already busy in the fields. They all had a strong sense of urgency and couldn't wait to open up wasteland and cultivate land on credit.

Looking at the fields in the valley, their envious eyes have been pursuing them for a long time.

……

Old Man Hua took the young and old men in the village to spend a few days planting all the land on the upper and lower slopes of the valley with grains. Whether it was coarse grains, fine grains or sweet potatoes, potatoes were all mixed in. To be precise, there were more sweet potatoes. Some.

This does not include the many wooden boxes made by each household after planting food. The inner and outer walls of the yard are either filled with vegetables or filled with wooden boxes for growing vegetables.

If you think that's it, you're wrong.

Even if the eighteen households from outside the country try hard to open up, how much can they make? It's three big mountains.

By the time all available planting areas were planted, the temperature had completely risen. Not only was the snow on the mountains melting, but the ice blocks below were also cracking.

However, these have nothing to do with the people of Huajia Village. At this moment, they set their sights on the other three mountains surrounding the valley. As long as there was soil and they were not very far from the valley, they did not let it go. They planted easy-to-grow crops. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are buried in the soil, even if there is no protective fence, they are not afraid of being destroyed by animals.

After half a month of planting, except for the only stone mountain, almost every household has planted another ten acres. Every day when I get home so tired that I don’t even have time to wash up, I fall asleep on the bed. But the results are gratifying. Even if only this quarter can produce a good harvest in the next few years, there is really no need to worry.

In other words, they have enough food left, otherwise even if they have ideas, they will be powerless.

After that, everyone had a good rest for a few days, and the ice outside completely melted, and there was water everywhere between the mountains.

As the last piece of ice in the water disappeared, the temperature that had been slowly rising suddenly seemed to heat up overnight. It was the summer solstice. Several layers of thick autumn clothes turned into single clothes overnight, and the water level also increased rapidly. It is decreasing, it can be said that it is the same every day, and the temperature is also the same every day.

In just ten days, the water level several feet deep under the mountains quickly dried up, and soon only a shallow layer remained. The mud below was vaguely visible, and even stranded fish could be seen occasionally.

This discovery excited the people who survived the extreme cold on the mountain. Even if the weather was hot, they were sweating profusely, and they were panting, they could not stop their determination to find food.

It can be said that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and using all the methods they could think of to fish out of the stagnant water, and many of them did catch fish from the water.This can be regarded as the last bit of feedback brought to desperate mankind after the flood recedes.

"Mom, Dad, my brother's method worked, I got it." A skinny boy in his teens whispered in excitement.

In his hand, he held a long wooden stick as thick as a baby's arm. The front end of the wooden stick was turned into a simple net with newly sprouted branches. At this moment, a fish weighing about two kilograms was jumping in the net. It was caught by the young man's fiery eyes. Watching closely.

"Great, his father should hurry up." The woman almost cried with joy, urging the man on the mountain, and looked at the sons squatting above the water with a keen eye, and said worriedly: "Be careful, don't do it. If you fall down, the mud at the bottom is very deep, and you won’t be able to get up if you fall down.”

Not to be alarmist, this is what they saw with their own eyes.

Speaking of which, it was only more than two hours later, and they were only a few dozen meters away. A man was too impatient and jumped in. After catching it, he only had time to laugh happily, and then started Screaming, struggling, the body sank tightly into the mud. However, at the last moment before drowning, he threw the fish in his hand to his family and sank completely. This scene was seen by many people in the surrounding excitement. It also scared everyone.

"Mom, don't worry, we can save it." The boy and his brother nodded quickly.

"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my brothers." The young junior who helped the third brother take the fish out of the willow net assured him seriously as he handed the fish to his mother.

Then he and his three brothers began to aim at the movement in the water. The young face had sunken cheeks, and only a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes of life still showed a little glimmer of light.

How could the woman really feel relieved? Apart from guarding the area to prevent anyone from robbing her, all her energy was devoted to her three sons. When she saw another fish entering the net, a little smile finally appeared on the woman's face.

The man who was sitting on the hillside and struggling to weave a willow net with his frostbitten hands soon joined his son, took the wooden thorns from the eldest son's hand, and handed the willow net to his son.

"Brother Shu, use this..."

Whether it is Gu Yanguo or all the countries on this land, almost everyone is working hard to stay alive.

Even high-ranking people are insignificant in the face of disaster.

Two days later.

"The water receded..."

Hua Jin, who came out of the valley with a few big dogs, looked down the mountain and saw the foot of the mountain exposed above the ground.

Hua Jin seemed much calmer than everyone else. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Hua Jin really hoped that these smiles could stay longer.

...After all, as long as people are alive, they can still be happy, right?
"Jin'er, we want to go down the mountain to have a look, will you go?"

The cute voice behind her made Hua Jin turn around and reveal a sweet smile.

"Of course, how can you do without me." Hua Jin, squinting her narrow crescent eyes, pulled Da Ya and the others closer to her. The flawless faces under the sun quickly stunned Da Ya and the others.
