On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 38 Merging
The village chief started talking when he saw that it was almost time.

The main thing is to say what the people in the army said: "You also heard yesterday that many villages and county towns below have suffered. This is not one or two gangs. It is everywhere. There is no shortage of food in our village now, naturally No, but there are several villages around here. I mean, listen to the army and block the three entrances to the village. Just leave one alive."

"God, you dare to kill someone?" Some villagers were stunned.

After all, in modern society, murder is a crime.I usually see robbery and murder in newspapers and TV. Who has seen it so bloody?
And there's more than one.

"Uncle, more than half of the village died in one breath. Who of us has seen this before? It wasn't like this in past disaster years." Zhou Zhigao said.

That person has nothing to say, right? Who has seen this before?

"Hey, this world." The old man sighed and shook his head.

"As far as I'm concerned, let's do it quickly, no one knows when someone will come." The village chief said.

"Oh, this has to be done quickly. Tell me, what is the regulation?" the old man hurriedly said.

The village chief nodded: "First of all, our militiamen still have to go. But thirty or so people are not enough. All the able-bodied people in the village should go. It's the same as that time when sweeping the road. All the capable people go, and the rest cook. It’s not something that can be done in a day.”

Everyone nodded, but they had no opinion.

"Now there are two questions. First, how to do it. I have been thinking about it all night. Wood and stone are easy to make. The key is that I am afraid that it will not last long. You can also talk about this. The second is that the time is long. Let's calculate it on the basis of half a month. How to allocate it , think about this too."

"Uncle, I have an idea." Liu Ya smiled.

"Tell me, you young people are smart, tell me." The village head laughed.

"That's the case, wood is definitely not good. If someone outside brings burning objects and throws it on fire, we can't keep guarding it all the time in this weather. Isn't that useless?" Liu Ya said.

The crowd nodded.

"Stone, now our stone is not difficult, it is everywhere, but there is no cement, if you use yellow mud, it will not be strong. But right now it can only be yellow mud. Why don't we work hard and build a strong one at a time."

"You mean, thicker?" the village head asked.

"Yes, the yellow mud is mixed with minced rice, and the foundation is very good. Then, while it is cold, pour water directly on it, covering it layer by layer. It will freeze solid after a while. In case the weather is more than 30 degrees, it will melt before pouring , or put another layer of mud in a few months or a year, anyway, it is the Little Ice Age, and it is often cold.”

"Yes, it's hot in summer, we can patrol better, and we can find a way to go out and get some cement back." Xiao Chen said.

"Well, this method works. The ice wall is strong." The village chief nodded.

"Also, Uncle, have you forgotten the people in Gugouzi Village?" Liu Ya smiled: "If people in Gugouzi Village want to come out, most of the two roads have to go to our side. Their village is now I don’t know how many people are still there, but can they hold the road over there?”

"They can't hold that side, but if we block the road behind Nanshan, they will only have that side." The village chief patted his thigh: "Hurry up, send someone to their village, just say Say it."

"There are so many fewer people in the village now, and a lot of vacant yards. There are no people in Gugouzi Village." Zhou Zhigao nodded: "If you want to, it would be a good thing to merge."

Some people don't like the name of the village, because the outsiders will divide their things.

"Don't dare to think so, our village is short of people now! If other villages want to come, we won't accept it. But Gugouzi Village can't help it. If they don't want to, it's fine. If they want to, aren't we safer? Once the road is blocked, it will be safe. If they don't come down, what shall we do? Anyway, there are many relatives in that village, so let's just ignore it?"

Those who opposed did not speak anymore.

"Besides, the supplies for the army already come from Gugouzi Village. If they are merged, the supplies will still come from our Changxing Village. It's no different." Liu Ya smiled.

"Everyone, don't forget that when it's time to plant the land, there are fewer people and more land, so you can't keep busy." Xiao Chen said suddenly.

This time everyone has to agree, indeed.

Although everyone thinks how easy it is to harvest food, but in fact, it is impossible to be busy.

Of course, this is based on the past, and it is estimated to be more difficult now.

"Besides, I guess their village is not optimistic. If they want to come, they also bring something." The village chief said again.

This is also.

If there are more people in the village, the more people will eat, but the family moved from Shangtou Village, which is not far away.

After everyone acquiesced, the village chief began to calculate the time and expenses, and then asked people to go to Gugouzi Village to find someone.

Several militiamen spontaneously went back to put on their clothes and went.

The straight-line distance is really not far, but the road is really difficult to walk.

The four of them laughed when they reached the foot of Nanshan Mountain: "It's fine if we went up the mountain before and shouted."

But now the ground is full of ice balls, isn't climbing a mountain courting death?
Everyone laughed.

It took half a day to go to Gugouzi Village. The situation in the village was really not good. Because it was closer to the mountain, more than half of their village died.

What's even more frightening is that the remaining half of their village is only 29 people.

When it comes to going down, everyone is willing, but there is one more thing, that is, the dead have to be transported out.

In the end, the people from Changxing Village returned first and asked them to hurry up.

Fortunately, there were flat cars in the village, and the 29 people did not dare to delay, and started the next day.

Carry the corpse first.There's nothing I can do, I really don't care about face, a car pulls four or five.

This one is also working.

Stones are ready-made, and there are everywhere in the ditch, just move the ones of suitable size.

The mud is not easy to get rid of, because it requires clay, so it takes a long way to go, mainly because the ground is frozen and it is not easy to plan.

Just light the fire for a while, and then dig for a while.Fortunately, it is easier to do things with more people, and it takes half a day to dig a lot.

The village head and several village managers assigned the previously extinct households out, and the people in Gugouzi Village worked hard for seven or eight days before they pulled out all the people who should be pulled out.

Because there are many extinct households in their village, they actually have no shortage of food.

There were also those left by the previous troops, and the village head directly distributed them after checking.

I asked for opinions. First, Cao Jiaao had many relatives with them, and secondly, Cao Jiaao died more people, so there were many empty houses.

So among the 29 people, seven households lived in Caojiaao.

A few people lived in Zhoujiazhuang, but they didn't go to Hanjia Liangzi.

Among the 29 people, seventeen are under 40 years old, and six are under [-] years old.

All six joined the militia.

There are only four children in total, and two of them have lost their parents.

Some people in the village are willing to adopt, but they have to change their surnames.
