Hard work

Chapter 257

Gaihua and Zhao Mumian set off for the town, but there seemed to be no major changes in Aozi Village.The only thing to say is that because the mountain road leading to the town has been repaired, the villagers in Aozi Village have nothing to do.

Since the mountain road leading to the town outside was cleared, the victims outside the village huffed and walked almost halfway.Among the half of the babies who were born, there were also a lot of thoughts of waiting and watching, and then deciding whether to go to the town or not.The village, where many people wandered around, suddenly became empty, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, even though the victims had already left halfway, the people in the village still did not dare to farm outside.

After all, I just walked a little, but there are still many victims of the disaster in the village wandering outside.They couldn't tell how powerful they were, or how hungry and thirsty they were, but they found out that there was food to be found in this village, so would they still keep watching?

There is no solidarity among these victims. Even if there are occasional small gangs, it is because one or some of the victims are relatively strong, and it may even be because of the background of gangsters. There is no such thing as cooperation or non-cooperation.

If they could find something to eat, they would naturally fill their stomachs as quickly as possible.If you act slowly, who knows what will happen, maybe someone will snatch it away in the blink of an eye.

Because most of the victims had such thoughts, people in the village were even more afraid to plant seeds in the fields.

Zang Lang and Yan Dalang had been discussing the matter of opening up wasteland on the mountain before, and now they have gradually reached a result.In fact, it is not such a simple matter to really open up wasteland.As far as Lan Huaer knows, if they want to open up wasteland, they must first register with the village head, and then report to the town's yamen. After the yamen's approval, they will pay the money for land reclamation. Only then can we go to the mountains to open up wasteland.

Otherwise, why would the people in Aozi village bother to buy land? Everyone randomly circled a piece of land on the mountain and said it was their own, so why bother to hand over the money.

This is actually an unruly thing.Zang Lang and Yan Dalang don't say how serious they are about obeying the rules, but there are quite a few people who like to take advantage of this kind of petty advantage.If it weren't for the terrible situation now, these two people would not have thought of using this method.

It's not that the family can't pay the money to buy the land anymore, but even paying the money now is just a meaningless thing.

It is already very unreliable to say that this report for approval is already very unreliable.Now the road leading to the town has been cleared, but after it is cleared, who knows what the situation in the town is like.Maybe the town was so badly affected that even the yamen was no longer in operation.

It's just that the yamen and the town are doing well, and who in the village is willing to make a special trip for their matter.Moreover, this matter was originally intended to bypass the victims, and the more people know about it, the worse it will be.Not to mention that the disaster victims will follow them and find the land they reclaimed. Even if people from the village flock to the mountain to reclaim the land, it is actually not good.

Those two people are capable, and they are confident that no matter what they encounter in the back mountain, they can solve it.Others are not.

Moreover, no suitable place has been found. Reclaiming wasteland on the mountain is actually the same as planting land in the village, and there is no way to avoid those wandering victims.They often hang around the back hill now.

The two discussed together with Lan Huaer for a long time, and finally decided not to make any noise.They are just trying out on the mountain out of desperation, and it is not certain whether they can open up wasteland.If the wasteland is really reclaimed and things are grown, there will be more than enough for the family to eat, and they will definitely not hide it. After all, they will still take it out to the people in the village.

At this time, the situation is special, and I don't say whether it will be sold or not.It is naturally the best for the folks in the big hometown to survive.

They made up their minds, and it didn't look like so much now.

Zang Lang told Yan Dalang about the mountain depression where bees were kept, and took Yan Dalang to that mountain depression the next day.

The col is also an extremely difficult place to find.It would take a long time for Zang Lang to lead Yan Dalang there.Lan Hua'er simply prepared a whole day's worth of dry food and water for the two of them.

Originally, Zang Lang didn't want to bring water with him, so he said with a smile, "I don't eat much, but there's still little water. I think it's too much."

As a result, Lan Huaer glared at him very simply, "There is a lot of water on the mountain, but how about drinking it directly from a spoon? It's not like you haven't seen anything in the water before. You can drink that kind of water." Stomach. Don’t bother Mr. when you turn around.”

If Lan Hua'er didn't mention it, Zang Lang really couldn't remember it.But now that Lan Hua'er mentioned it, he recalled what he saw in the stream on the mountain before.There are some rotting animal carcasses soaked in there.Although he knew that it was running water, and there was probably not much pollution in the water now, but thinking about it this way still felt a little uncomfortable, so he obediently took the bag of water that Lan Hua'er had prepared for him.

There is no problem for these two people to go to the back mountain.

Good news came back soon.

The mountain depression where Lan Huaer chose to keep bees was indeed a hidden place.Those disaster victims went back and forth many times, but they couldn't find it.And because there is not much wind and rain to enter that place, even though it experienced a flood, there are still two nests of bees that Lan Huaer specially lured there to survive.When they passed by, they had already seen those bees flying back and forth in the valley to gather honey.

The valley was also full of chaos, because of the heavy rain, there were not even a few flowers left.

Zang Lang went to have a look, and felt that the honey produced in the beehive was enough for the bees to eat by themselves, so he didn't touch the honey. After he went home, he was greatly praised by Lan Huaer.

She didn't want to starve those bees to death right now.

The col was a flat place, Yan Dalang looked at it once and said it was a good place to open up wasteland.Secret enough, but also smooth enough.The soil in there is actually still a little wet, and it hasn't completely dried out yet.However, compared with those lands in the village, the overall condition is already very good.

These two people went to the back mountain secretly, so naturally they didn't dare to bring hoes or anything, wouldn't they just tell others their purpose.

Even so, they still carry knives and so on.The two of them didn't care about their weapons like those legendary swordsmen at all. They just used the knife to turn over the land in the valley, and even hunted two rabbits on the way down the mountain.

That's the two of them.Now the back mountain is full of people, how well the rabbit is hidden.Even if they can avoid the pursuit of those beasts who can't find food on the mountain, imagine how slippery this rabbit is.I didn't expect to bump into the hands of these two people, and was finally knocked out and carried back.

In the past, Lan Hua'er would have been a little leisurely to lament how unlucky the rabbit was to bump into the hands of these two people, maybe she would think that the rabbit is cute and raise it for two more days.

But in this day and age, who still has the heart to think about this, when seeing a rabbit, the first reaction is to stare at the pot of meat with blue eyes, thinking about how to cook it and eat it.

When Lan Hua'er realized it, she almost died of shame.

Fortunately, both Zang Lang and Yan Dalang are kind people, and they don't mean to make fun of Lan Huaer.After saying hello to Lan Hua'er, I took the rabbit to the back to deal with it.

This time the two hunted back, there were only two rabbits in total, so naturally they would not be divided among the village.They didn't intend to go to the back mountain to hunt, but this time they happened to bump into it, and they got it back together.If they were serious, the harvest would not be of this magnitude.

However, many victims saw that the two of them went to the back mountain, and when they came back, they only brought these two rabbits, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.They still remembered that when the two men went to the back mountain last time, they divided the meat among the village.Now seeing that these two people only got such a small gain, a feeling of despair arose in their hearts.

After seeing such a situation, many disaster victims strengthened their determination to go to the town.They were still hesitating whether they should go to the town or not, but looking at it now, even the two people who went to the mountain before brought back two rabbits, let alone them.

This situation is unknown to Lan Huaer and the others.If she knew, Lan Hua'er would definitely be dumbfounded.However, it is actually a good thing that more victims of disasters come to the town.Lan Hua'er has long hoped that Aozi Village can restore the previous order.

Because there have been a lot fewer disaster victims recently, there are no so many scruples.

Naturally, this rabbit meat cannot be grilled, but it is braised and stewed, and the aroma does not waft too far, so it is not a big problem.

This time there wasn't much meat, Lan Hua'er counted it up, so no one divided it, only the Zhao family and the Yan family had one meat each, and it was a long time since they had meat, so they tasted something new.

The current rabbit is not fat at all, but everyone still eats a mouth full of oil, with unsatisfied expressions on their faces.Even Xiaodie, who has never been very expressive, showed a lack of expression.

Lan Hua'er remembered that she had done this kind of thing before.It's just that she was young and low-skilled back then, unlike Zang Lang who could get a rabbit casually, so she simply joked with Zang Lang, "You guys don't go to the mountains to open up wasteland, dig a rabbit's nest and a mouse hole every day, We have improved the food at home.”

She was joking, but Zang Lang was very serious, nodded and said, "Okay, I will remember."
