The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

"Eh, this place is cracked."

That night Li Dong organized a team of people into the mountain to see if there were any leaks in the mountain to pick up.

The feng shui in Hou'an Village is very good. Before the advent of the disaster, the products were abundant and there was sufficient precipitation here. With the abundant groundwater system, the soil was very fertile and moist.

But now, the plants and trees have already withered, and the ground surface has been exposed to dry and cracked lines. Just take a piece of mud on the palm, hard like a stone, and it will be turned into sand with a pinch of force. There is no water vapor at all. .How can such soil grow crops?

"This elm tree was one meter thick when I was a kid, and now it can't be surrounded by three or four people. I originally thought that this tree could live for at least hundreds of thousands of years, but it seems to be mysterious now."

He was talking about an old hunter in the village. The river looked in the direction of his finger. Because of the light at night, he also took a flashlight in the direction that the old hunter pointed.

I saw it was an extremely tall and thick old tree, but unfortunately it became dying because of the sun exposure and lack of water.Originally, because the dense elm leaves fell off by half, the few elm leaves hanging on the branches also appeared very yellow.

Not only is this elm tree in poor condition, most of the trees in the forest are dead or on the verge of dying. As for the bushes and grasses, they are the earliest to be withered by the sun, and you can only hear rustle when you step on those withered grasses. The sound of broken moose.

"Pheasant, there are pheasants!"

Just listening to the exclamation in front, Jiang Liu and the others hurried over.

"I have been dead for a long time, and I have been dried to dry meat."

I saw that there were two dead pheasants on the ground. They had been basked in the sun, and they felt like stones. These pheasants died after a long time of hungry. There was almost no meat on them. The dried meat sticks to the bone, just like a skeleton shelf.

"Do you think this dead pheasant can still eat?"

The man who found the two pheasants swallowed and asked.

Its realization is still hiding some bacon and bacon at home, but it’s just that those good things are reluctant to eat now. Occasionally cut a few thin chopsticks of fried meat that is just to add flavor to the dish. In the end these two Most of the meat will enter the child's belly.

Everyone's greedy meat is greedy, so when they saw these two pheasants, their eyes were almost red.

"Should I eat?"

Everyone is not sure, after all, I have never eaten such a pheasant, in case there is any germs, after all, no one knows how long this pheasant has died, will it be a problem to eat.

"Should I let the stray dog ​​taste it first?"

The villagers in Hou'an really love dogs, and since the disaster came, everyone needs spiritual sustenance. The incense in the dog temple in the village is getting better. Even if they are very hungry, the villagers dare not kill their own dogs. Eat dog meat.

It is said that offending the dog god will be condemned. Now they respect the dog god, and the dog god will protect them in the future, but if they anger the dog god, they will not be allowed to wake up the next day and the sun will become Four.

Of course, most of these devouts are old people in the village, young people, especially those who go out to study and don’t believe the legends about dog gods that the old people say, in their view, when people can’t survive What is a dog?

So when the man proposed to use the stray dogs in the village as an experiment, no one spoke out to stop it.

Jiang Liu didn't join in their conversation. His eyes were attracted by the faint greenery inside a dead tree with a hollow hole in the center. If he read correctly, it seemed to be a young sprout.

Although I don't know what plant that seedling is, it is a miracle to have a seedling germinate in such a dry grass environment.

Jiang Liu didn't dare to say anything. There were too many people present. He was afraid that the seedling would lead out the time, so he took advantage of the attention of others on the two pheasants to make the dead tree with hollow in the center. Cover up and prepare to choose an appropriate time to transplant this seedling.

The villagers quickly went down the mountain with the game they picked up. They processed the game and fed the meatless heads to the stray dogs in the village.

The vitality of these wild dogs is also really tenacious. It has been nearly two months since the change began. It is still alive and well, but it is thinner, and because of the sparse hair because of the sun exposure, it is the same as the skinny dog.

These wild dogs devoured the game that the villagers fed them, because they still retained the closeness they once had. Several stray dogs licked the villagers who ate the game after eating the game. The purr's comfortable voice makes the villagers who use them as a test a little ashamed and has a hot cheek. They originally wanted to wait for these wild dogs to starve to death and then eat the dog meat.

"It seems to be fine."

After observing for several hours, the stray dogs who did not know whether it was sunburned or starved to death did not show symptoms of discomfort, and the villagers who found the pheasant were excited.

Game can be eaten = there is still a lot of meat on the mountain = they have a huge mine.

Whether it's greedy meat or want to save more supplies for the family, the villagers squeezed their heads for a time and seemed to march back into the mountains, but when they found the dried game, they would hide it at home.

Li Dong was very uneasy, because the stray dogs in the village were still alive, indicating that all the animals in the mountain may not have died. You have to know that there are wolves and bears in the deep mountains of Hou’an Village. Come out of the mountains.

But now it’s different. The herbivores in the mountains have no food. When the herbivores die in large numbers, the carnivores will continue to expand because there are not enough food sources. Now it’s easy to enter the mountains without a head. Something went wrong.

Besides, everyone has gone to the mountains, what about the safety of the village?

It's a pity that the interests are moving, Li Dong's words are not good at this moment, and what makes him annoyed is that the stupid son Dachang's Yang Feng Yin is against him. The game is gone.

Li Dong had the intention to scold the stupid son, but the stupid son went to the mountain to harvest a lot, and brought home a lot of dried sparrows and hares by the sensitive smell of the dog and grandson. The old wife and daughter-in-law at home guarded this The stupid son, in turn, scolded him for looking forward and backward, without vision.

Anyway, because of the game, the village’s original patrol defense has weakened a lot. Many night patrol members who should have been on duty also secretly ran up the mountain. Li Dong couldn’t stop him, but was blamed for dragging his back.

Perhaps it was his heart that broke his heart, and Li Dong simply shook his hands. These people came to him and begged for mercy when he waited for a mess.

However, this is also an extreme idea. If you can, Li Dong certainly hopes that bad things will not happen.

Of course, there are also smart people in the village. These people did not blindly follow the trend. Instead, they were more vigilant and guarded when the villagers ran up the mountain with their brains.

At this time, Jiang Liu was staying in the Jiang's cellar.

The Jiang family’s cellar was empty except for the few tanks of salt left by Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Liu was experimenting.

He had gone up the mountain a few days ago, but he was not looking for dried game, but for plants that germinated in harsh environments.

Cangtian lived up to his heart, and in these days, Jiangliu found a total of four live seedlings.

One of them was marked and left in place, and the other was transplanted by him in the yard. The remaining two were kept in the cellar. For comparison, Jiangliu also spread some vegetable seeds in the cellar. , Water them on time.

This is also inadvertently thought of by the river, because the sun is violent and the plants cannot grow outdoors, but if the plants are planted under the ground, the temperature is moderate, and occasionally use the mirror to refract some sunlight. Is it possible for plants to grow normally in this environment? .

Of course, it is impossible to dig a large cellar with the power of the villagers alone. After all, this is a construction project, but if the method of cultivating plants in the cellar is feasible, at least some vegetables can be grown in the small cellars of every house, a little more Food source.

Because there was no experiment, Jiang Liu did not immediately tell his thoughts to other people in the village. He planned to wait for his experiment to succeed before telling everyone the news.

However, Jiangliu was not the first to think of this method. At this time, an underground planting project called Underground Spring has been experimented in a secret institution in the capital.
