Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

"Hey, hey!" Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru hurried to work, and quickly piled up the sweet potatoes in a corner, covered them with hay, covered the rice bags with a small piece of linoleum, and pressed the stones.

It's just people from the cave, as long as they don't run around and look around, they won't find that the Li family has so much food.

After the two sisters-in-law finished their work, they looked at each other with joy.

Make bricks without straw!

They are responsible for cooking every day, and they feel anxious when they see the rice bags, and they can't wait to count the rice grains into the pot.

It's better now, at least a month without worrying about eating and drinking.

"Tomorrow, we still need to pick more mountain products. There are many people in the family, so it is always right to prepare more." Mrs. Li instructed.

"Got it, mother."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru agreed, and went to the entrance of the cave to call out Li Laosan and Li Laosi below, urging them to quickly transport stones to build an earthen stove.

In the canyon, more than half of the villagers were busy around the campfire.

It's cold at night, but everyone's heart is warm.

Weaving grass curtains, fetching and boiling water, cooking and washing, there is endless work and talk.

Li Laosan made a pile of mud early, and after listening to his wife's yelling, he called Li Laosi and Jiayi Jiahuan, and went to his cave together.

Jiayi followed the ladder, carrying a bucket of mud, and climbed up like a monkey.

Then, he stood at the entrance of the cave, and Li Laosi began to throw stones up.

Each piece of the stone was the size of a small clay pot, but it was as light as a sweet potato in the hands of the uncle and nephew, and they threw them on it when they were playing.

The other family looked hot-eyed and rushed to ask for help.

So, after throwing their own stones, the uncle and nephew went from cave to cave to help.

When they returned to their home, Li Laosan had already built the earthen stove with his family and started to light the fire.

There are two small pots of our own on the earthen stove, one for boiling water to cook porridge, and the other for cooking sweet potatoes.

It's just that there is no curtain at the entrance of the cave, and the mountain wind blows in, and the smoke runs in, making everyone cough.

Youngest Li scratched the back of his head naively, a little embarrassed.

"Tomorrow, build more than half of the hole, block the grass curtain, and find a wood to fasten a chimney, so that the smoke can flow out."

"Okay, that's good. After dinner, put the baskets and baskets by the door, at least to keep out the wind."

Mrs. Li comforted her son, compared to staying overnight in the woods, this is already very good.

Soon, the two naughty boys, Jia'an and Jiaxi, also came back.

It is rare for the family to get together and have a quiet dinner.

Mrs. Li was so happy that she cut up three salted duck eggs, and the family ate them with sorghum rice porridge and boiled sweet potatoes with relish.

The cave is very simple, and even the mouth of the cave is humming with wind, which is not very warm.

But the family doesn't have to worry about the sudden appearance of wild beasts, and doesn't have to worry about insects and snakes crawling on them, which is already extremely satisfying.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone was even busier.

After a simple bite of food, everyone went into the woods together.

Chopping firewood, mowing grass, picking mountain goods, even cutting down trees, digging barrels, and making chimneys, every family is busy.

After all, if you want to live here for the whole winter, and you know that there will be heavy snow to block the mountains, if you don't hurry up and stock up on firewood and food at this time, you are looking for death.

Except for Mrs. Li who hugged Jiayin to watch the house, the rest of the Li family went down.

Li Laosan thought the cave was too small to use it well, so he tossed and tossed under the cliff after he came back from cutting down the tree.

He was also dexterous, not only made a chimney, but also nailed a square table and a few small benches.

Afraid that Jiayin was too small to sit still, I made an extra small chair with a backrest.

Jiayin was lying on the straw mat at the entrance of the cave, looking down to watch the excitement.

In fact, she has a lot of these wooden utensils in her space, but it is inconvenient to take them out at this time.

Not to mention that Liu Biaotou and his son must always keep in touch, and there is also a genius doctor Zhang who is eyeing him.

If she is found out, no one will do anything to her, but she always causes trouble for the family.

As for the grains and fruits such as chestnuts and dates in the space, they can just add them to the family as soon as they are eaten in the future.

That's why she didn't make a fuss about going into the mountains with her parents.

Like hardworking ants, everyone is trying their best to perfect their caves.

Not only did the Li family have to take care of themselves, but they also had to help the Liu family.

Because the village chief's aunt is not in good health, Uncle Zhao is either lame or handicapped, so it is always inconvenient to work.

Plus a genius doctor Zhang, apart from being able to see a doctor, he can't handle everything else.

In the final analysis, only Liu Biaotou's family and the village chief were considered labor force in the cave next door.

God Xu is indeed somewhat partial to everyone, the weather these few days is actually warmer than before.

This gave everyone plenty of time, and the firewood piles under the cliff rose up immediately, and there were three piles in one pile.

Especially the one next to Li's house, which is almost at the same level as the entrance of the cave, and built on the cliff, not only keeps out the wind, but also can get firewood with one's hand, which is very convenient.

Of course, at the end of the burning, they still had to go down to fetch firewood, but this already satisfied Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying.

Li Laosi took the young and strong men in the village to go hunting in the mountains every day. There were no big prey, but there were many rabbits and pheasants.

After peeling the skin and removing the internal organs, put coarse salt on it, put it outside the hole, and it will dry in two or three days.

In winter, put dried vegetables and stew in a large pot, which is enough for the whole family to fight teeth.

Jiayin had nothing to do, so she began to think about helping.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were only her and grandma in the cave, she took out two and a half old mattresses from the courtyard, and placed them quietly under the withered grass.

In this way, the cold air from below is completely blocked, and it is not easy to be found. With the addition of linoleum and bedding, the bed is much thicker.

Jiaren also carried the two hot water bottles that Jiaren had brought to the college earlier, but there were so many people in the family that it was not enough.

Jiayin dug out some glass medicine bottles in the space, the old-fashioned ones with rubber stoppers on the top of the bottles.

Speaking of which, it was preserved by her grandparents in her previous life.

Old people are thrifty and leave behind everything they think they might need, which is really helping their granddaughter a lot these days.

The rubber stopper at the mouth of the bottle has weathered, but it can still be used after cutting a few corks.

The glass bottle was filled with hot water, which felt a little hot to the touch.

Mrs. Li sewed the cloth bag familiarly, and the bag was still tied with a drawstring.

At night, the hot simple hot packs are stuffed into the bed, one for each person, old and young.

The cold feet stepped on it, and soon the whole body became warm, and everyone who was comfortable sighed a long time.

Jiaxi Jiaan was mischievous and curious, and wanted to open the bag to have a look, but was knocked by Mrs. Li alone.

"If you dare to open it and talk nonsense, you won't want to eat candy in the future."

Jiaxi Jiaan immediately became honest, shrunk under the blanket, showing her small head, whispering from time to time.

Jiayin was tired from tossing around during the day, drowsy, and disturbed by her brother so that she couldn't sleep well, so she stuffed them with a sugar ball, and the cave was immediately quiet...

That night, the third heavy snowfall fell. When the villagers got up early, they went down to the cave, and the snow covered their knees.

Everyone is glad that they were not lazy before, otherwise, at this time, they would really be caught blind.

Fortunately, there is enough water in the small waterfall, and the pool is not frozen, so everyone does not have to worry about drinking water once a day.

In this way, after being a cat for three or four days, Li Lao Si couldn't take it easy.

He climbed to the cave next door, discussed with the village head and Liu Biaotou, and wanted to go out and have a look.

If you can hunt, hunt as long as you can. If you encounter people, it will be even better. Always ask what is going on outside.

Otherwise, after the new year, it would be a bad thing to go out and crash into the arms of the barbarian. ?
