To the north of Qiu Guiying's house, towards Xiaolaojun Mountain.
After about 2 miles, we reached the edge of the restricted area of the mysterious pool.
South of her home,
Also facing Xiaolaojun, about 500 meters away is the entrance to the newly built "Xiaolaojun Mountain Nature Reserve".
Since it is a protected area established with public funds, face is still important.
At the entrance, there is a huge stone tablet with the words "Jiangnei City Xiaolaojun Mountain Nature Reserve".
Next to the stone monument, there are several brick buildings with brand new decorations.
Zhou Laoda and Zhou Laoer lived in this brick house and acted as the first sentry when entering the nature reserve.
At first,
Boss Zhou strongly requested that he be sent here.
From his words and deeds, Luo Xuan gradually got a taste of it: This guy probably has a crush on Qiu Guiying.
Then he voluntarily ran over and became Qiu Guiying's patron saint.
It's just that Qiu Guiying has to marry that 'village guard' in the future, and she feels aggrieved about this.
But Qiu Guiying, who has a resolute personality, is soft yet firm, and very faithful to her promises, may not be able to accommodate others in her heart.
According to Luo Xuan's estimation: Boss Zhou's relationship will probably have a silent ending.
Boss Zhou is trying to find curly hair on the turtle's back. It's all in vain!
As for Zhou Laoer, this kid is very fast.
He lives at the entrance of the reserve and acts as an errand boy.
If someone outside the mountain comes looking for Luo Xuan, he can take them and run to Xiaolaojun Mountain.
In the same way,
If something happens inside Xiao Laojun, Zhou Laoer must be asked to deliver the message outside the mountain.
Especially every month, he had to send letters to the mountain twice on behalf of the old branch secretary.
On this day,
At dusk, Luo Xuan took two wolves to the edge of the restricted area.
I found a secret grove behind the col, set up a tent there, and settled down for the time being.
If you want these two little wolves to go unnoticed, add space spring water into that mysterious pool.
You have to wait until nightfall before you can do anything convenient.
otherwise,
If these two little wolves broke into the restricted area in broad daylight, they would not be enough to be targeted by the soldiers...
That night,
Wait until you can't see your fingers.
The two little wolves each held a kettle in their mouths, filled it with spring water in the space, and moved towards the mysterious small pool with a puff of smoke.
This small pool is very important.
But the security work of the company responsible for guarding the safety of the pond is actually not that strict.
after all,
The so-called worry about someone coming to cause damage is almost non-existent.
One is, who is willing to risk his or her life to do something like this that harms others but does not benefit oneself?
Are you funny?
The second is that even if someone wants to cause damage, he probably won't be able to do it: although the small pool looks small, there must be at least dozens of square meters of water in it, right?
For an ordinary person, even if you encourage him to cause destruction, he will definitely be a cat scratching his head...with no way to stop it.
The so-called poisoning seems to be free of charge, or sold very cheaply.
and,
There is no telling whether poisoning a mysterious small pond will have any effect.
If you don't pay attention, you will become sterilizing those soaked seeds...
In the past, the production team had to deliberately add a little arsenic to the water when soaking the seeds.
To prevent pests from damaging the seeds!
therefore,
This company is not so much here to guard the mysterious pool.
In fact, it is better to say that they are here to guard the water pool to prevent someone from stealing all the water...
Since the guards are very lax, it will be easy for the two little wolves to add some ingredients to the pool.
It's just that the little wolf was running back and forth, which wasted time.
Luo Xuan, who was in the tent waiting for them to come back to fill the water tank, fell into a drowsy state.
It’s so boring!
This kind of hard work cannot be rushed. There is no danger at all. What is needed is to spend time.
Fortunately, the little monkey who has always been inseparable from the little wolf is actually very smart.
Very active too.
Luo Xuan simply brought out a small water tank from the space, and then tied the little monkey to the water tank with a rope.
When the two wolf cubs come back, the lively little monkey will fill their water bottles by himself.
Then the two little wolves held the kettle in their mouths and continued to add puree to the water pool.
One person, one monkey, and two wolf cubs worked hard all night.
The two little wolves were so exhausted that they turned into dogs...
When the horizon began to show traces of fish belly white, Luo Xuan packed up the tent and water tank.
Throw the little monkey into the space, then take the 2 little wolves with you and call him Zhou Lao Er.
Walk out of the mountain with yourself.
Today is the day of the big market in Hongxing Commune. Luo Xuan is going to the market to see if he can buy a few mules.
Opening up wasteland for farming in the mountains, transporting bird droppings, etc. are not possible without a few large livestock to help with the work.
There are about 40 people in Xiaolaojun Mountain now.
These people have a clear division of labor: some specialize in clearing wasteland and farming; some specialize in going deep into the mountains to dig out bird droppings.
However, because the mountain road is difficult to travel.
There is so much guano dug out that it would be too inefficient to carry it manually.
Without the help of large animals, the bird droppings would be impossible to pull out.
If you walk from the entrance of the reserve to the outside of the mountain, the Xiaolaojun 4 production team must pass by.
So Luo Xuan asked Zhou Laoer to wait by the roadside, then he turned a corner and went to the village school to have a look.
It's just that it's still early.
Chen Xiaoduan and Xiaocao were still sleeping soundly in the only teachers' dormitory.
I pushed the door, but it didn't move. I figured there must be a door bar behind the door.
Then I pushed the wooden board on the window, and it was as stable as a mountain.
It seems that although the security here is excellent, Chen Xiaoduan is still very defensive.
This made Luo Xuan feel very gratified.
Luo Xuan touched the simple kitchen next to the teacher's dormitory and saw two lettuces and a juicy white radish in a covered bamboo basket.
Judging from the dewdrops still hanging on the lettuce leaves and radish tassels.
Come to think of it,
This should be a parent of a certain student who had already delivered this order to Chen Xiaoduan early in the morning when he could barely see the road...
The mountain people are simple and simple.
And very well, he understands the principle of respecting teachers and teaching.
Chen Xiaoduan came to teach and rarely bought groceries.
Today Huowa's parents brought over two lettuces; tomorrow, Shuiwa's father pinched two more radishes.
Just like this, the East family gave me some, and the West family gave me some, which was enough for Chen Xiaoduan to eat.
Seeing these dishes, Luo Xuan sighed secretly: If Chen Xiaoduan continues to eat like this, he will almost be raised into a little white rabbit...
Thinking that Chen Xiaoduan loved eating mushrooms, Luo Xuan picked a few fresh large mushrooms from the space.
He took out a few more air-dried chickens and put them in the kitchen for Chen Xiao.
After thinking about it,
I feel that when I come here in the future, maybe not so much.
So Luo Xuan took out a lot of dried mushrooms from the space.
This kind of dried mushroom is very shelf-stable.
When you want to eat, just stir it with water, which is very convenient.
Chen Xiaoduan doesn't eat much meat.
But Xiaocao, like himself, is a proper carnivore.
Give them some air-dried chicken, some mushrooms, and some chicken stewed with mushrooms.
It would also make cooking easier for Chen Xiaoduan and Xiaocao.
One person eats meat and the other is vegetarian.
Just cooking one dish can satisfy both of them. Chen Xiaoduan doesn't know much about cooking anyway, and Xiao Cao only knows how to make a fire.
After finishing these things,
Luo Xuan then took Zhou Laoer and walked straight out of the mountain.
In Hongxing Commune, it’s market day, and the streets are several times more lively than before!
This is quite surprising.
Because there are a lot of people leaving these days.
Therefore, the members of the production team are busy resisting the drought and replanting seedlings.
On the one hand, we have to spare precious energy and time to help bury people.
Calculated in this way, it stands to reason that when it is market day on the streets of Hongxing Commune, there should be fewer people strolling around...
But thanks to Rongwei County, this time the locust extermination and disaster relief and drought relief work were carried out very effectively.
So relatively speaking,
The entire Rongwei County territory has experienced relatively little negative impact from natural disasters.
Life is a bit hard for everyone, but you can barely make it through.
But it is said that in other provinces, as well as other counties and cities, some places are seriously affected by locust plagues. All the green crops on their borders have been gnawed clean by locusts!
And there are some places that are particularly severely affected by drought.
The earth is cracked and the crops are withered.
In a place like this, even if everyone tries their best to fight the drought, it will be in vain.
There is no way to replant corn seedlings and rice seedlings in the land with its big thirsty mouth.
Seeing that God is not giving me a way to survive.
People who believe that moving trees will kill people and people will live, they have no choice but to leave their hometowns one after another.
Choose to look for a bit of life everywhere.
Many people from the counties and cities that were severely affected by the disaster rushed into the territory of Rongwei County.
I hope I can find some chores to do here in order to get some food to satisfy my hunger...
This has created the illusion that the streets of Hongxing Commune are bustling with people coming and going.
Luo Xuan and Zhou Laoer, one behind the other, had just turned from the mountain road onto the main road leading to Hongxing Commune.
I saw two families in front of me, walking in groups on the road carrying backpacks.
The reason why Luo Xuan could tell that they were two families was because they were each a young couple, walking opposite each other carrying baskets on their backs.
Judging from the floating steps when they walked, and the wooden sticks in their hands used as walking sticks.
These two couples have probably come a long way...
The couple had their backs to Luo Xuan. In addition to a pile of miscellaneous clothes, there seemed to be two dried corn cobs in their backpacks?
in addition,
Among all the clutter, there was a sleeping baby!
It is very common for Bashu people to carry their children in backpacks.
But the kind of backpack used to carry children is specially designed for carrying children.
It's called "Wa'er carrying a bamboo basket".
The two couples were obviously using the same backpacks usually used to carry things.
Just put in some sundries.
In addition, he also put his children inside to save trouble when he was on the road.
The two couples walking opposite each other walked very slowly, as if they might fall down at any time.
while walking.
When they were about to pass each other, they seemed to have a tacit understanding and turned to the roadside at the same time.
Taking advantage of the situation, I sat on the big stone on the side of the road to rest my breath.
The two couples sitting opposite each other looked at each other.
immediately,
One of the couples weakly raised their heads and mouthed into each other's backs.
As for the couple opposite, the man among them lowered his head in pain and grabbed his hair with both hands...
This man's grip was very, very heavy.
Standing in the distance, under the shade of a tree, Luo Xuan could clearly see a handful of hair, which was being pulled by the man.
Flowing and falling down one after another...
The woman in the couple's mouth lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
at last,
After wiping her tears, she was speechless and choked, looking up at the sky...
After a moment of stagnation,
The little wife turned around slowly and slowly took off the backpack from behind her.
I saw her picking up her child from the basket, and then staring at him lovingly for a moment.
The child held in the arms of the young daughter-in-law seemed to be asleep; or perhaps, he was too hungry to cry.
In short,
The child, who seemed to be only 3 or 4 months old, was held in his mother's arms and remained motionless and silent.
"Dandan, don't blame my mother for being cruel. I just hope that you can be a pig in your next life! You have food and drink, you don't understand anything, and you don't have to worry about anything..."
The little daughter-in-law's tears fell down in big drops...
She held up the child's hand, which was shaking very badly.
I just heard her murmuring, "Kiss my little girl, don't blame me..."
With the little wife's murmur.
Only a road away from them, the couple opposite also burst into tears...
After a while,
The two couples hugged their children and walked towards each other in a tacit understanding...
The whole process was carried out in an extremely repressive silence.
Neither party said a word.
After switching the children.
The two couples got up and walked into the woods behind them...
