Surviving Endless Disasters

Huang Yian wiped the sweat from his forehead, but couldn't help but ask: "Are mutant animals so smart now?" First there was Tuantuan, and then there was Black Snake. Black Snake showed more intelligence than the Chicken King.

If the black snake knew Huang Yi'an's thoughts, he would definitely tell him that the big rooster who was born in blessings and knew no blessings could not compare to him, the big black snake who came to fight for him.

"Don't you always want to raise a bird as smart as Tuantuan?" Wen Zheng looked at Huang Yi'an.

When Tuantuan heard this, he immediately stopped at Wen Zheng and shouted twice proudly.

"Yes, there is no smarter bird than Tuan Tuan.

"Wen Zheng's eyes were full of smiles.

Huang Yi'an nodded: "There is no bird in the world that is smarter or more beautiful than Tuantuan! I just want someone who is a little smarter, and it doesn't matter if it's not a bird.

Wen Zhengxiao glanced at Huang Yi'an and pointed at the busy black snake: "Isn't there one?" "Gah?" "Huang Yian was so frightened that his voice broke and he let out a duck call.

Chapter 83 Wen Zheng ate cold skin made from new wheat today. The cold skin was chilled in well water for a period of time. After taking it out, he poured the prepared sauce on it and stirred it. It tasted great.

I sat under the vines in the yard with a big bowl and ate with gusto. It was a cool morning, but if the temperature was high at noon, it would be too hot to eat.

There are several more bird nests under the eaves. The birds inside get up early and fly around the house to catch food.

These are the birds that Tuan Tuan went outside to retrieve after the mosquitoes increased in summer.

These birds not only stayed at Wen Zheng's house, but also made their homes everywhere in the village. Most of them were swallows, which could eat pound after pound of mosquitoes.

Birds are paired with mugwort, and mosquitoes are effectively suppressed.

After breakfast is finished, we have to continue processing those wheat grains.

The scorching sun hangs like fire in the sky, spreading its temperature to the earth.

Every day after the sun rises, the temperature rises at a rate that can be felt by the body.

Not long after you go out, there will be a lot of sweat beads on your body.

Nowadays, villagers try to go out as little as possible. However, if they want to grind wheat grains into flour, they can only use the insufficient number of stone mills in the village.

Fortunately, the wheat grains were all dried up, and the villagers had enough time. Under the arrangement of the village chief, they took turns using the stone mill to grind the grains hard.

However, the shell of the mutated wheat grains is not only thick but also very hard. Grinding them into powder takes a lot of effort. Many people try to use animals to help.

Huang Yiming's goats and the big buffalo that he ran over some time ago are the most popular among the villagers. Villagers who want to use these animals need to be responsible for their three meals a day, and the food should be better.

The big buffalo successfully settled in the village without showing any aggression towards anyone, even though it temporarily retained one of its chains.

The big buffalo usually stays in the village committee, and occasionally starts a quarrel with the big rooster who lives in the same yard, attracting many villagers to watch.

Compared with the big buffalo that has attracted the attention of many villagers, the black snake living outside Wen Zheng's house is not known to many people.

Huang Yian, who is the latest to know, strongly refused when Wen Zheng asked him to try raising snakes, but after discovering how smart the big black snake was, he wanted to give it a try and started going to Wen Zheng's house every day to try to interact with Hei. Get along with snakes.

After the wheat grains in the first acre of land were ground and hulled, the weight was weighed. Even though the villagers had expected it, they still looked sad.

In previous years, one acre of wheat could produce eight to nine hundred kilograms of grain. This year, after removing the outer wheat husks, the weight was not even half that.

After the problem with the wheat, the villagers all thought about other plants grown in the village. Those wild plants grew vigorously, but there was something wrong with the food crops, potatoes and corn.

The potatoes under the soil grow very small, the largest ones are the size of eggs, and there are various insect holes on them.

The same is true for corn. It grows tall and has long leaves and a lot of corn cobs, but if you peel away the outer leaves, the corn kernels on them are all shriveled.

These plants seem to be growing vigorously, but they are not growing well where they are mainly used for food.

Wen Zheng felt that after the surrounding energy became violent, the growth of all living things was affected. Some parts grew rapidly while the growth of other parts was lost.

The wheat has just been harvested, and the villagers haven't had time to harvest other crops yet, thinking that they might be able to grow a little more in a while.

The wheat had not been ground halfway, and several trucks pulling people drove up on the road outside.

Seeing the vehicle from the balcony, Wen Zheng went to the village committee with Tuantuan. The leader was Captain Zhang, followed by several soldiers with guns, and behind them were more than three people who had just arrived with luggage. People look more vicissitudes of life.

Compared with these people, the people in Sanlihe Village are in much better condition.

“Your village feels like a paradise.

"Captain Zhang said, the feeling in this village is very different from outside.

"Captain Zhang was joking, it's too hot outside, let's go to the courtyard to talk first.

"The village chief said and invited everyone into the house.

Captain Zhang walked in the front, and the others followed behind. As soon as they reached the courtyard where the village committee was located, they noticed the big rooster and buffalo raised in the yard.

Several exclamations sounded from behind, and those who had just come crowded together, all looking at the big buffalo in horror.

"You actually captured this buffalo?" Captain Zhang was very surprised.

Someone reported to them that there was a large buffalo on the road leading to Sanlihe Village, which would occasionally attack vehicles.

Their army has been busy recently and has not had time to deal with it. On the way here today, I thought that I had not met him so much, but it turned out that I came to Sanlihe Village.

The village chief smiled and didn't say much, but raised his hand and asked them to go inside first. At the same time, someone brought out a covered bucket from the well, which contained boiled water that had become slightly cold.

Wen Zheng did not go in, but sat under the tree in the village committee yard, watching Tuan Tuan playing with the big buffalo and listening to the conversation inside.

“It’s better to live in a village, where it’s easier to get water if there’s a well.

"Company Commander Zhang lamented that most people in the town use tap water and there are not many wells.

“Many wells in the village have little water left, and they mainly rely on a few deep wells for support.

" "You have water here, so you should be able to harvest more food."

"Captain Zhang said.

Village chief: "It's too much. The wheat husks are thicker than the wheat kernels, and potatoes and corn can't even grow."

" Captain Zhang: "How much wheat can you harvest from one acre of land? The village chief deliberately understated: "One acre of land after shelling is about three hundred kilograms."

" "It's good for you here. It's better to have water."

Company Commander Zhang was a little surprised, and then said with a little expectation in his tone, "This is enough for you, plus potatoes and corn, there will be leftover food."

Hearing Captain Zhang's tone, the village chief felt something was wrong and asked, "How is the food harvest in other places?" "Lianchang Zhang shook his head, and his tone was a little heavy: "I don't know what's far away. Let's just say that the production of several nearby towns has been reduced a lot after encountering insect pests. Now that there is water shortage and drought, there are still people entering the village to steal. , I heard that an average of one acre of land only yields more than 100 kilograms.

Thanks to the chicken king in our town, the damage during the insect infestation was not serious, and the yield could basically reach 200 jins per mu. I thought that the harvest in your village would be better, but I did not expect that it would reach 300 jins.

" Several villagers who heard this were silently digesting this fact. It turned out that the harvest in their village was pretty good.
