Hard work

Chapter 224 Arrangement
Lan Hua'er was at home rushing to deal with the animals that Zang Lang had hunted back from the mountains.Some animals were still alive, so she asked Gaihua and Zanglang to go to the backyard in the rain, and set up a corner in the pigsty to keep those animals behind, and planned to make plans later.

However, these are definitely not intended to be kept for long.

After all, at a time like this, there isn't even enough food for humans, so how can there be any surplus food to feed these animals.Lan Hua'er even planned to kill the half-grown pig in the back and make it into bacon in advance.Although the pig is not growing very well, if we want to continue to raise it, the family has to allow an extra ration for the pig to eat.

In the past, when the weather was good, Lan Hua'er could still plant some vegetable leaves in the yard, and went to the edge of the back hill every day to gather some hogweed.But at this time, where can I grow vegetables in the yard.

Even the hogweed on the edge of the back hill has been beaten into the mud. Even if someone is willing to go out at this time, it is unlikely to cut the hogweed.

Now I still keep this pig, one is because Zang Lang took back some crop stalks from the field before, and after cooking and softening them, it is really hard to swallow for people to eat, but the pig doesn't care about it.

And Zang Lang had been running outside before, Lan Huaer just wanted to find an opportunity to kill the pig, and there were not enough people at home.

Although Gaihua and Goudan are both men, and Gaihua also works in the bodyguard agency in the town, but killing pigs is a technical job after all, and it's really not that easy.

As for the chickens in front, they were all killed long ago.At this time, there is nothing good to feed the chickens, not even worms.Even if the chickens are raised, it is impossible to lay eggs, so they can be killed early to save some food.

So much so that Changwu even jokingly said, "Thanks to my decision to live in your house. You can still have meat to eat."

His identity is very subtle.He was a distinguished guest before, but now that he is really in a famine, he has become a person who doesn't know how to deal with it.He was already living at home, and it would be unreasonable to say that he should be driven out;If he really wanted to confess to him, he should go to the village chief's house.

Chang Wu is also a smart and understanding person, otherwise he would not be able to do the job of Mr. Wang.He didn't know how he saved a lot of money before, and handed it all over to the Zhao family, saying it was food money.Although money is nothing these days, following his posture, no one from the Zhao family proposed to drive him out.

The trees in the village have long since been flooded until their roots have rotted, and a lot of the bark has been stripped off by the victims.The villagers in Aozi Village once persuaded them not to peel off the bark, but they were quickly pushed aside by the hungry and red-eyed victims.

If it weren't for the fact that the victims were so hungry that they had no strength at all, they might have beaten up the people in the village and rushed into the houses to grab food.

The people in the village are full of food and drink, but after all, unlike those victims who have no way to survive, how can they compare with those who are already desperate, they can only retreat back into the house silently.

Some victims have even brazenly gone to the fields, dragged back some rotten crop stalks that had not been harvested in the fields, chopped them up and boiled water to eat.

The mountain fields of the Zhao family and the Yan family are near the mountainside, and they are often harassed by the victims.

At the beginning, because of Lan Du's care, the crops in the field could still grow well, but after the number of victims increased, all the trees in the village were ripped off.Not only has the root been rotten, but even the bark has been completely torn off.The wood core under the bark was softened after being poured by heavy rain for a long time, and the worms in the wood were taken away by the victims for food.

How can Lan Du alone stop the famine victims.Together, several families could only cut off the wilting crops in advance, and put them back at home to dry.Because there is not much firewood in the house, and now even the fire at home depends on the amount of firewood.

In order to save some firewood, Lan Hua'er wiped the poles aside, spread them all on the kang, and used the heat of the kang to dry them.

When Lan Hua'er was drying those straws, Goudan frowned tightly, shrank behind the door and looked into the room, "I can't really want to eat these things, can I? Ah, it's hard to eat just looking at them." Yes. How can I swallow it?"

Although the Zhao family has had a difficult life before, Gaihua has been working outside, so he still has some money to send back home.Some people in the village also sympathized with them, and there were also families who occasionally sent them some food.

And Lan Hua'er has always loved him very much, she would rather starve herself than give food to this younger brother.

At the beginning, that orchid was too small to know how to find food outside in winter, and gave all the food to Goudan to eat, so she starved to death.Although Goudan's family conditions have not been so good, he has never eaten such things as grass roots and bark.

Lan Hua'er turned her head and glanced at him, intending to scare him, "If the food at home is all eaten by then, it's up to you to eat this. If you don't eat by then, you will starve to death, and it's your turn to choose this or that." .Did you see those homeless people out there eating wood from the trees? That's good enough."

Goudan immediately showed a crying expression, "Don't they have nothing to eat, our family... well, if our family has eaten up all the food, what will those people do..."

When Lan Hua'er heard Goudan say this, she also froze, not knowing how to answer.

But Goudan was just talking to himself, and didn't expect to get Lan Hua'er's answer.He thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Sister, I think... I think the husband may not have much food in his house. If, if... let's bring him home?"

The Mr. Goudan refers to Yang Langzhong.The old gentleman is very popular in the village, because his consultation fees have always been very low, and sometimes he even only collects some food.He often goes to the mountains to pick some herbs, and he doesn't have any land, so he doesn't have a lot of food in his house like ordinary villagers.

Lan Hua'er was silent for a while, remembering Yang Langzhong's help to the Zhao family before, she nodded, "Go and talk to elder brother. I'm afraid that my husband won't come."

"What's the matter. A magic stick 'Mr.' suddenly appeared in the house, and he stayed there. If you want me to say, it's time to drive that magic stick out and take Mr. over." Goudan He muttered in a low voice, and couldn't help but glanced at the room where Changwu lived, "I didn't see any ability. If it was really that powerful, it should stop raining. I just hide all day long. Waiting to eat at home. He is rich, and he pays for it, but now he can’t buy food even if he has money.”

"Little boy, what are you talking about?" Lan Hua'er went over and tapped Goudan's head lightly, "Have you forgotten what my husband taught you before? We don't care about those outside. Get them all kicked out. Live your life tight. You go and tell Elder Brother about the matter of Mr. But we really can’t add anyone to our family except Mr. "

Goudan agreed, and hurried to find Gaihua.

Lan Huaer thought about the prey Zang Lang hunted back from the mountain for a long time, and finally sent two pheasants to Aru's family.

She knew that there should be no shortage of food in Aru's house, but they didn't raise anything in their house, and they still don't know how much meat is left.There is still one in Aru's stomach, she can only think of ways to take care of it.

In the past, the pheasants were given as flowers.It is said that Tiesheng didn't say much, just accepted the pheasant, returned a basket of brown rice, and told Gaihua to hide the things at home more tightly.

"Tiesheng said that looking at those people outside is not right." When Gaihua came back and told Lan Hua'er, he also sighed, "There are more and more people outside, there is no food, and it is cold. Many of them are already seriously ill. Some people have gone to the mountain, and they don’t know if they can come down. But no matter what, if these people are really hungry, they might break into their homes. Who knows what those people can do What happened."

Lan Hua'er thought about the future for a while, and couldn't help shivering in her heart.

She has never seen a famine, but she still remembers the earthquakes she saw on TV and newspapers before—even if it is only three or four days, when human beings are in an environment where they cannot communicate with the outside world, have no food, and no order, morality and law It has become completely disposable.

Burning, killing and looting are all just to survive.

It's a pity that they are not protected by strong walls like the people in the town.

Ever since she delivered something to Tiesheng that time, Gaihua often went outside.The men of the two families got together, called Lan Du again, and braved the rain to silently strengthen the fence outside the yard.

Sure enough, Yang Langzhong did not want to go to Zhao's house as Lan Hua'er thought.

Later, it was Lan Huaer who asked Goudan to bring the word, saying that the village really needed a doctor.Otherwise, when the plague breaks out, I really don't know what to do.

"I don't want your husband's money either. I also know that there is no food in Mr. Zhao's house. I just ask Mr. to stay at Zhao's house and take care of the people in Zhao's family. We have food, but if we get sick at this time, there will be no more." Sir, what should the people in the village do. Sir, you should come and live here. I don’t want him to owe me favors, nor am I fooling around. I just want to keep my master’s skills. What’s more, sir is a benefactor of the Zhao family, so what if you come to live here. "

Yang Langzhong thought for a long time, and finally agreed.Packed up the only food left at home, and followed Gaihua and Goudan to Zhao's house.
