"But general, if it reaches the ears of the saint, general you..." Zhao Gao had a worried look on his face.

"No problem, I'm afraid the general will be gone by then."

As for why he was not there, both of them understood clearly, and Zhao Gao had a sad look on his face.

"Yes" Zhao Gao pursed his lips and left.

Sun Tan sat down again, frowning as he thought about how to leave an unforgettable gift to the Northern Tartars before leaving.

Two hours were enough for the soldiers to recover most of their strength. The lieutenants who had received the news in advance gathered in Sun Tan's camp.

Finally, except for those in charge of logistics, everyone started to prepare the final gift for the Northern Tartars.

All the streets in Yuncheng passed through the South Gate. As the army did not evacuate, there were traps every few feet. The width ran through the entire street and the length was no less than one foot. There were sharp wooden thorns buried in the traps, which continued to the South Gate. The south gate was tightly closed and the suspension bridge between the city gate and the moat was destroyed, buying more time for them to leave.

As the suspension bridge fell to the bottom of the river, looking at the lonely city shrouded in darkness, Sun Tan gently kicked the horse off his crotch and looked towards the night with a firm expression.

"Go with all your strength" a hoarse voice shouted with all the strength.

Heading towards Lingyun Prefecture, which is closest to Yuncheng, not surprisingly, the Tatars' next target is Lingyun Prefecture.

Feeling that the temperature was obviously much cooler than during the day, the speed accelerated again amidst Sun Tan's constant urging.

Nowadays, under the high temperature, we can only rely on marching in the dark. People can't walk very far during the day.

What Lingyun Prefecture doesn't know at this moment is that tens of thousands of refugees from the two prefectures will arrive in a few days.

On the outskirts of Crescent City, Da Liu and Gouzi's children used their common sense to dry and store grain in the cellar of the original home they found, taking as much as they could eat.

As for growing grain, it took a lot of effort to withstand the threat of being sunburned and to do it in the dark. It was only less than three-thirds of the land and I couldn't persist.

The feeling of dizziness and dizziness was really uncomfortable. For the sake of their health, they finally chose to give up.

However, when the sky just started to turn white, Da Liu took his younger brothers and sisters with their own knitted straw hats to pick as many wild vegetables as possible to dry and store.

And water... Although they are young, they have been tempered by disasters for several years. They are also aware of the abnormal temperature. A basin of water splashed on the ground disappears in the blink of an eye. The water level of the creek behind the village is also dropping day by day.

Realizing that something was wrong, they not only stored wild vegetables, but also brought water back early every day. They also brought the two large vats found in the cellar, the two wooden barrels they brought over, and the jars they found from the abandoned village that could be used for storage. All of them were filled with water, and their benefactor, the elder brother, left them a water bag that was constantly filled with water. The difference was that the water in the water bag was replaced with re-boiled water every day.

Past experience tells them that they must be prepared at all times.

Children can see this, not to mention the county magistrate of Crescent City and the people who managed to survive.

As soon as the temperature became abnormal, the county magistrate came to remind the people of Crescent City who had survived the plague.

I already sensed something was wrong, and with the reminder from the government, I was cursing God and working hard to survive in the high temperature, trying every possible method just to save more water.

The county magistrate's residence had made preparations early. Holding the letter from the unknown benefactor in his hand, Magistrate Liu couldn't help but think about it again.

Although the reminder in the letter was very vague, it specifically reminded them to store a lot of water. Obviously, this brave man with great righteousness must know something. That is why he quickly ordered people to remind the people of Yuecheng as soon as he felt the temperature was abnormal. them. With the temperature getting higher and higher day by day, the county magistrate has a bad feeling in his heart. Thinking of the extreme winter last year, it is difficult to think about it to the extreme...

This world is completely crazy, and God really doesn’t leave any way for human beings to survive.

In Huajia Village, Qin Shu's family spent more than half a month finally building their new home.

All the materials used are masonry. After the house collapsed, in order to make it stronger, the walls were not only widened and thickened, but also a layer of mud mixed with wheat straw was pasted on the outer wall to make it inconspicuous. The wooden doors were made by myself, although Rough but thick enough and strong enough.

Of course, every home must have a cellar. For this reason, the father and son even ran outside for several days, just to find materials such as lime that could prevent moisture.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about Qin Dagen. When he was working as a part-time worker, he went to a lime workshop and he still had an impression of where the lime ore was. Although it took some time, it was not in vain and he transported a lot of lime. ore.

According to the firing process from memory, although the process was a bit cumbersome, they finally got out the lime and used it to prevent moisture in the cellar.

According to Qin Dagen's instructions, the normal specifications of the cellar were followed, but as the cellar started to be built, he felt the temperature suddenly rise, and it rose day by day, and a very unexplainable feeling came to his heart inexplicably.

Wiping away the dripping sweat from his forehead, Qin Shu put down the shovel in his hand and frowned: "Dad, have you noticed that the temperature is getting more and more abnormal?"

How could Qin Dagen not notice that in the past, although his body was always sweating, the sweat was like raindrops in the past two days. Even if he kept replenishing water, he still felt very hot and thirsty, and he felt dizzy. of.

"Indeed" Qin Dagen nodded.

"Dad, I think the specifications of our cellar may need to be changed. Make it bigger and wider..."

"You mean..." Brother Qin suddenly understood what his son meant, and even Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment before he understood. Only Qin Lu and Qin Ming looked at his brother incomprehensibly.

"That's what I mean. Thinking about last year's extreme winter, I'm worried..."

Not only was his son worried, Qin Dagen was also uneasy. The sudden high temperature was too abnormal. Then he subconsciously thought of the sweet potatoes and other food he had planted, and suddenly felt distressed.

I don’t know...if it can still grow.

"...As you said, let's build it in a bigger way." After a little more effort, there are a lot of bricks and stones in Huajia Village. Even if they are all done, they may not have much money left in their hands.

Qin Dagen suddenly laughed silently, thinking too much. In this situation, money is of no use at all. How to survive with food and water is the last word.

Then the family got down to work.

The change from the sudden high temperature in the valley to the outside world is not too obvious. Most of the heat wave is perfectly blocked by several mountains. In addition, the lake in the valley, although it is hot, is still within the tolerance range, and the wooden house is even more comfortable.

Hua Jin had already noticed the temperature change at the beginning. The thermometer that had been placed outside was not a decoration. Although the change was not too obvious, Hua Jin knew that the extreme heat had begun.

Feeling the relatively suitable temperature in the valley, Hua Jin had to admire his father's foresight in finding such a good place, a proper summer resort.

The perfect fusion of several large mountains can avoid a lot of heat, and it is possible that the ice cubes in her space can be saved.
