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

For several days, Zhaogouzi Village failed to grab anything of value, and Wangjia Village was even more tightly defended. In the end, the group could only temporarily endure.

Fortunately, they had succeeded several times before, so that their water could last for a while, and they planned to wait until Zhaogouzi Village or Wangjia Village relaxed before going.

Little did they know that this gave Zhaogouzi Village time to relax.

Knowing that this group of thugs couldn't get in, almost all the laborers from each household went to Wangjia Village to find a place where they could hide as soon as possible.

Especially for underground caves, you need to clean them up before moving in, reinforce the cave roof to prevent collapse, and add bricks and stones to the walls of the cave. Fortunately, there are many abandoned houses around. Even if there are not many brick and stone houses, it is difficult to find these things. It's not particularly difficult, not to mention there is a masonry workshop not far from Wangjiacun. If that doesn't work, you can also use wood to reinforce it, there is plenty of wood.

When the gang of thugs realized that Zhaogouzi Village should relax, when they arrived at Zhaogouzi Village, the people in the village had already been emptied out.

In order to seek shelter, men from Zhaogouzi Village who joined Wangjia Village also actively joined the patrol.

Even so, just when they felt that it was safe for the gangsters not to dare to take advantage of Wangjia Village, late one night as the gong sounded, all the men in Wangjia Village started to move. Although the men in Zhaogouzi Village were afraid, they were even more afraid. Get kicked out.

The women and children hid in the cellar.

When hundreds of thugs were entangled together and faced off against hundreds of people from Wangjia Village, the battle situation was already expected. Of course, they were beaten to a pulp and fled in a hurry.

This scene is happening in many places at the same time, just for a sip of water.

Death occurs almost every moment, and fear once again hangs over people's hearts.

In Huajia Village, Qin Shu's family, Da Liu and other children lived a much more comfortable life. It seemed like they were isolated from the world, and the cruelty of the outside world had nothing to do with them. They only needed to close the door tightly.

After three consecutive months of extreme heat, several wells in the village have dried up, but the river connecting the Yun River to the west of the village has not completely dried up.

Although there was no shortage of water at home, Qin Shu, his father and his son, and Da Liu's older children also tried to save as much water as possible, pushing wooden carts to the river a few miles away to fetch water at the coolest time in the middle of the night. I also got an unexpected surprise because the water level dropped.

...lots of fish of various sizes.

Except for what was eaten that day, everything else was made into pickled fish and dried in the sun.

Of course, everything must be done within an hour, otherwise it will exceed the capacity of the human body. Once you fall down, it will be difficult to get up again.

In addition, Qin Dagen and his son occasionally take time to continue to heighten the wall. Although the speed is very slow, it is better than nothing.

After that, they spent most of the time in the cellar. Except for the heat, which was slightly controlled and they drank water, the lives of the Qin family and Da Liu and other children were not much different from before, and there was no sense of uneasiness all day long.

Regarding this, both the children, Qin Shu, Qin Dagen and his wife couldn't help but be grateful to Hua Jin. If it weren't for her, they would have expected the difficult days of water shortage.

Especially the children like Da Liu Gouzi, if they hadn't had the courage to come and seek refuge, they might have died in this extreme heat. Speaking of Hua Jin saving their lives, the gratitude in the children's hearts was beyond words.

During the three and a half months of extreme heat, the river in the west of Huajia Village completely dried up, and the gate of Huajia Village was closed. Qin Dagen, his son, and their children spent the rest of the time in the cellar or in the house except to increase the height of the wall.

No matter how hot it is outside, the valley is still a peaceful and peaceful scene at this moment. However, except for the hot weather, I don’t know how to work in the fields during the day, and watering the fertile fields has been changed to night. The rest of the time is not much different from usual times. , as long as you don’t stand under the scorching sun and are not afraid of the heat, it’s perfectly fine to walk and gossip under the trees in the valley.

It's just that there are a few people who are not afraid of the heat, and most of them stay at home.

Compared with the sweltering heat in other homes, Huajin's home is as cool as if the air conditioner is on. It’s time to put the ice cubes stored in the winter to use. A few large pieces are placed in almost every room, and my brother’s and brother’s rooms are no exception.

Although Daya Yunniang was curious about the origin of the ice cubes, she was not a talkative person, not to mention that their husband had told her not to ask.

Hua Jin was sitting comfortably in her grandma's room, seemingly watching her mother, grandma, and two sisters-in-law working while talking and laughing, but in fact, her thoughts had already flown to other places.

It was too hot. Hua Jin was thinking about teaching the villagers in the valley how to make ice. Not long after, the villagers in the valley who were wandering around and gossiping had disappeared.

It's too hot. People who are hot feel restless and lose their appetite. Their family is fine. The two aunts have lost a lot of weight, and the cousin is even slimmer. Even if she comes to her house to eat, she has no appetite. , this is the result of her family delivering ice cubes every day.

But you can't do this. In a short period of time, you can fool yourself by saying that you have stored enough in winter, but not in a long time.

The ice cubes had to have a source, and they could use them openly at home.

Otherwise, everyone in the village would be extremely hot, but wouldn't it be strange that the village chief's house is extremely cool?

While thinking, Hua Jin blew away the hair falling on her cheeks.

It’s inconvenient to have a lot of people together. You have to take into account other people’s thoughts, so you can’t just do whatever you want!

Hua Jin cursed in his heart, but Hua Jin actually already had the answer in his heart.

Making ice is not difficult, provided you have saltpeter.

But it is not difficult to get this thing. There is it on the mountain behind their valley. As soon as they discovered that several mountains around here had been explored all over, they did not find the iron ore but found a large amount of saltpeter, but in the stone The dark side of the mountain.

Not to mention that during the extreme cold, the walls of the large cave where the villagers lived, with the deep pool at the end, were densely covered with saltpeter, and it only took a little effort to knock it off.

Thinking of this, Hua Jin couldn't sit still and suddenly stood up from the armchair. The sudden movement shocked Old Lady Hua Qi and Daya Yunniang and couldn't help but look at her with strange eyes.

"Why are you so surprised? Are you thirsty?" Mrs. Qi stopped what she was doing and looked at her daughter in confusion. She stood up and was about to pour water for her, but Hua Jin quickly stopped her.

"I'm not thirsty, mother... I suddenly remembered something. I'm going to find grandpa, you guys are busy with yourselves."

After saying that, Hua Jin Fu Niang sat down and turned to go to the woodshed. At this moment, Grandpa, Dad, and Xiao Si were all in the woodshed, tossing with wood.

As for the two older brothers, it depends on when they want to read.

"This child..." Mrs. Hua smiled and shook her head. Seeing that she is still a child when she grows up, her thoughts come out one after another.

Hua Jin's new daughter-in-law, Daya Yunniang, knew all about Hua Jin's out-of-the-box thinking. Upon hearing this, the two mothers looked at each other and laughed.

Hua Jin turned around and entered the woodshed, running towards her grandfather and father.

"Grandpa, daddy..."

The father and son, who were stared at by Hua Jin's shining black and white eyes, could not think of working. They stopped for a moment and looked up at their granddaughter.
