Yu Xiaoqian knows that Xu Qing is only kind to those who are agreeable to her eyes. She is lazy to give one look to those who don't like her eyes, so she is no longer polite. If she refuses again, she will be alienated.

After a while, Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu came back with two bundles of dry straw on their backs. They left some straw mats, and the rest were spread on the ground. Then they put mats on them, so that they would not be so annoying when they went to sleep.

They are still a little hot here. On the other side of Xuqing, a hundred meters away, there are several big trees with several people embracing each other. The shade there is the most comfortable, but the good place is given to the families with injuries.

Xu Qingyuan looked far away and saw the men with injuries lying on the grass mat. Their faces were pretty good one by one. He thought it would be OK.

At this time, in the village.

As Li Changting expected, several people were seriously injured last night and did not survive. After the family cremated the body, they picked up the ashes. There was no time to grieve too much, so they hurried home to pick up their things.

After everyone moved to the cave, the patriarch took the rest of the men in the village to take care of the aftermath.

"Will the ancestral hall be burned, too?"

"The ancestral tablets have been put away?"

"It's all put away."

"Burn it then."

A moment later, there was a fire in the village. A dozen men were watching carefully around the mountain forest. If the fire spread to this side of the mountain, they should dig soil to put out the fire. Don't lead the mountain forest by accident.

The fire burned for a whole afternoon. When the fire turned small in the evening, the patriarch told everyone to clear away the tracks and traces. As he retreated to the direction of the cave, he cleaned up the traces. Don't let people follow the tracks to find them.

When all the men in the village came back, the women also made dinner. On such a hot day, few people could eat. Most of them cooked porridge in an iron pot and made do with pickles.

Xu Qing also cooked a pot of mung bean porridge. The two families ate pancakes and pickles together and finished dinner before dark.

The only disadvantage of living in the mountains is probably that there are too many mosquitoes.

During the day, the weather is good, hot, even insects dare not jump out.

But in the evening, these mosquitoes smell and come over, catching and biting each other.

Fortunately, Xu was ready in the early morning. In the afternoon, she planted a circle of mosquito repellent grass and snake repellent grass around her sleeping place, and even some of Yu Xiaoqian.

These mosquito repellent grass and snake repellent grass Xu Qing have been cultivated in the space for more than half a month, waiting for their use in summer.

Don't say, it works. No mosquito dares to come near here.

When other people saw it, they could only envy and chagrin. There are mosquito repellent grass and snake repellent grass on the mountain, but it's a pity that it's hard to find them in the dark.

After being fed up with mosquito bites, people secretly decided to go to find mosquito repellent grass to plant tomorrow!

After everyone goes to bed, Xu Qing greets Li Jinmei, who is in a daze. He says it's convenient to go and asks Li Changting to accompany her. When they get to a place where there is no one, they turn and enter the space.

Li Changting went to boil water, while Xu Qing stewed a pot of rice and fried three dishes. The food was prepared for Li Changting. He had a big appetite, so he would not be satisfied with porridge alone.

While Li Changting was eating, Xu Qing took a bath and solved his personal needs.

Previously, referring to Xu Qing's suggestion, Li Changting opened a square hole in the bathroom floor. Every time he went to the bathroom, he just needed to lift up the wooden cover and face the hole. After washing with water, the dirty things would flow into the soil. The space had the ability of automatic cleaning, and the dirty things would seep into the soil together with the water, even without peculiar smell.

It's a bit like squatting toilet. If you don't use it, you can put down the wooden cover to prevent people from accidentally stepping on it. You can also discharge sewage when you take a bath. Thanks to the self-cleaning ability of the space, there will be no water under it, and it will become clean every half day.

If it wasn't for Xu Qing's dedication to fish ponds and paddy fields, he couldn't have found such a big advantage in space.

When Li Changting went to take a bath, Xu Qing added water to each fence and picked some vegetables.

as like as two peas, two people cleaned their clothes and hung out. After all, they left space. In order to avoid being suspicious, two people wore identical clothes.

Li Jinmei is fast asleep. She doesn't know when Xu Qing and Li Changting came back. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, she glances at Xu Qing's direction and sees the couple nestling together. It's not too hot.

In the second half of the night, Li Changting woke up on time to watch the night, replacing the watchman in the first half of the night.

You know, the place they live now is deep mountain. In case of wild animals, no watchman will be alert. What if they hurt people.

However, in this weather, there is a shortage of water everywhere. The wild animals on the mountain must either die or go away. Usually they come to fetch water, but they don't even see snakes. Only some insects are left.

Otherwise, they don't dare to move to the mountains, but even if the wild animals may be gone, it's always right to be vigilant.

Li Jing sat down and said to Li Changting, "sure enough, I'm next to my brother. I dare not even get close to mosquitoes."

Li Changting wears a medicine bag on his body. Mosquitoes, snakes and ants dare not approach him. Even if there is no medicine bag, no mosquitoes or insects can approach him with his internal skill."Brother, when do you think such a day will end? Why doesn't it rain that day? " Li Jing sighed.

Li Changting didn't answer, and he didn't know.

After daybreak, people wake up one after another and complain that the mosquitoes last night were so fierce that they itched to death.

When everyone had breakfast, the patriarch called everyone together to have a meeting at the edge of the cave while the sun was still not big.

"From today on, no matter men, women, young or old, we should work together to dig out the cave and live in it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when it's so hot in July, how can people live outside?"

As soon as the patriarch's words came out, everyone agreed and nodded.

"I know that many of you have just lost their husbands and sons, but life has to go on. Please don't be sad. If you have any difficulties, tell me that I can solve them except for food! They are all brothers and sisters in the same village. Let's not give up on each other. We should live well! "

"Good!"

"Well said the patriarch!"

Many young women shed tears. If it wasn't for relatives, reliable patriarchs and villagers, they really didn't know how to survive when their husband died.

The patriarch said in a heavy voice: "yesterday, the mountain bandits raided. We sacrificed 53 people, including 39 men, 12 women and two children Plus those who died of pestilence and high fever, there are only 160 people left in the village. Next, we don't know what difficulties and obstacles there are. We must take good care of ourselves and be careful at all times. "
