"I'll go too." Qin Shu also followed his father.

Mrs. Li waved her hands and ignored the two men, and looked at the second and third sons: "Brother Lu and Brother Ming, hurry up and find some firewood."

"Eh" Qin Lu and Qin Ming, who originally wanted to go out with their father, didn't feel unhappy and nodded quickly. It was also important to fill their stomachs.

As for the neat wood in the yard, neither brother thought about going to get it, but ran out to pick it up in the village.

After the flood, there was no shortage of firewood. Although the village had been tidied up, there was still a lot of wood scattered around the corners. The two brothers picked up a lot of it in a short time.

On the other side, Qin Shu and his father walked along Huajia Village. Unfortunately, the entire Huajia Village was not much different from Shangqin Village. Almost only the foundations of the houses and a few walls were left, and nothing else was left. It's almost fallen off.

Although there are a few houses that are slightly better, they are only slightly better. It is impossible to hide one's figure at all, and it is even impossible to maintain privacy.

Of course, they were the only family in the whole village, and it didn't matter whether they had privacy or not, but being so close to Qinggu Mountain and not having walls to block them always made me feel uneasy.

I originally wanted to change my place of residence, but after looking around I couldn't find a good place, so I had no choice but to return home, and finally decided to live in Hua's house.

When Qin and Lu brothers were walking back each holding a bundle of firewood, Li also walked around Hua's house and was surprised to find a well covered with a stone cover in the backyard.

Although she brought a lot of water with her when she came, she would always run out. Li was actually worried about it, but it was better now.

"Mom, the firewood is ready."

"Mom...where are you?"

The two brothers looked at the empty place strangely, and their voices were obviously louder.

"...I'm in the backyard." Hearing the anxiety in her son's tone, Ms. Li hurriedly responded, thinking that she would wait for the child's father to come back and let him see if the well water could be used and whether it had been washed.

At the same time, the father and son in the village also discovered a well. Judging from the obvious cleaning around the well, the father and son were almost certain that the well should have been washed. In addition to the floating ash around the well head, the father and son were also washed. It's bright and shiny.

"Dad..." Qin Shu looked at Qin Dagen happily.

At this moment, Qin Dagen had already lifted the wooden board on the well and stretched his head to look inside.

As they thought, the well water had indeed been washed, and there was no accumulation of silt. They could clearly see that the water at the bottom of the well was clear. Even if they didn't have tools, they could see it more clearly with a bucket of water.

Although this is enough for their father and son to be happy. With this well, they don't have to worry about water problems in the future.

When they returned to Hua's house and found that a well in the backyard could also be used, they were not to mention happy. They finally decided to stay in Hua's house temporarily. The most important thing about water was that the walls of Hua's house remained intact and safe enough.

However, Qin Dagen still asked his son to write a letter according to the location Hua Jin told him, telling him all about their family's situation, especially the matter of temporary residence without permission.

Qin Shu also had this idea. He took out the few papers he had, cut out a very small piece, and wrote on it one by one the things about their moving to Huajia Village to live temporarily at Huajin's house, and then wrapped it with a rag. I tied the withered grass into a knot and thought about leaving it at the place Hua Jin told me on the Qinggu Mountain behind the village.

After a simple meal, Qin Dagen and his son began to tidy up the house.

In fact, it is completely possible to live in tents. After all, they are only staying temporarily to avoid the plague. They will still have to go back after the situation improves.

But Qin Dagen felt that since he lived in someone else's house, he had to pay for it and wanted to repair the house.

He and his sons were already very skilled in repairing the house, which they had done before, and the wood for the beams was already piled near the corners.

This is an arduous process that cannot be completed in a day or two and requires some preparation.After the meal, Qin Shu and his father Da Gen began to make preparations for repairing the house, while Mrs. Li took her youngest son to the back of the village.

Although there are a lot of dried wild vegetables at home, these are prepared for the future and Li has no intention of eating them.

Now is a good time for wild vegetables to grow wildly. The ready-made food cannot be wasted. After arriving at the village, Mrs. Li couldn't help but get excited. No one has set foot here. Not only are there abundant grass plants, but there are also many varieties of wild vegetables. It is impossible to pick them all.

They also found a lot of wild mushrooms in many humid places, and clusters of wild fungus on broken tree trunks, which surprised the mother and son.

You wouldn't be able to see these in Shangqin Village, and even if they were there, they would have been picked early.

This time, Mrs. Li was not worried at all. These wild vegetables were enough for her family to eat.

After a while, the mother and son picked a whole basket and went back excitedly.

After lunch, Qin Shu took advantage of the lunch break to refuse his father's invitation and went to Qinggu Mountain behind the village with his family's woodcutter.

Although Huajia Village is uninhabited, it is precisely because of this that Qin Shu wants his father to stay and protect his mother and younger brother. After all, if something happens, it will really be a disaster, and no one can help.

Qin Shu walked very fast and arrived at the foot of Qinggu Mountain in less than two minutes. He followed Hua Jin's instructions to find the huge rock at the foot of the mountain.

It was really easy to find. It was a huge stone several feet high that was very conspicuous. It took some effort for Qin Shu to climb up and look for the stone grid that Hua Jin said.

After some searching, I found an artificially carved stone grid on the top of the boulder, which was covered with stones.

Qin Shu put the wrapped note in, covered the stone again, turned around and left.

I hope my friend’s family can see it as soon as possible.

In this way, Qin Shu's family settled down in Huajia Village. Although they were much busier than Shangqin Village, their life was more fulfilling.

Every day's time is tightly arranged. In addition to repairing the house every day, I also have to take a certain amount of time to go back to my own fields to work on them, water them, catch insects and weed them. I have to go there every few days.

They also secretly returned to their home and took a look. The door was still tightly closed from the inside. It looked like no one noticed their departure.

It was just that the village was too quiet and had a very strong smell of corpses. The father and son were so frightened that they did not dare to stay longer and left quickly.

Fortunately, the fields are still some distance away from the village, otherwise it would really take a lot of courage to come back.

After this, the father and son never returned to the village, and they did not dare to return.

At the same time, the planned things had to be changed, and the date of returning to Shangqin Village became far away, unless the corpses in the village were disposed of.

The family settled down in Huajia Village with peace of mind.

Li also planted the few vegetable seeds she had collected in the backyard of Hua's family.

Then it took nearly half a month to completely repair the roofs of the three main houses. Although they didn't look perfect, there was no problem living in them, and they were still able to keep out wind and rain.

During this period, Qin Shu went to Qinggu Mountain behind the village again, wanting to know if his friend Jia had found the note he left. Unfortunately, he came back disappointed, and the note was properly placed where it was.
