Chapter 1026: Grain

The blind dog rubbed on Li Xuejian's leg a few times, circled around the maize seedling, and circled again. Li Xuejian said: "Blind, you go farther away." ”

The blind dog stood still, whined a few times, raised his head and stared at the master, as if he had something impatient to do.

Li Xuejian knew what was going on, so he went to the dead locust tree on the ground to take down the hanging hoe, dug a nest to the west of the maize seedlings, looked at the blind dog and said, "Pee!" The blind dog raised his leg and peed into the nest. Li Xuejian saw that there was ash on the leaves, stretched out his hand and dusted it, and then he was stunned.

Close-up, subjective shot, with a few small spots on the bottom two leaves of the corn seedling.

Li Xuejian muttered: "I come to pee in the morning and water in the dark, how can there be drought spots?" The blind dog was still snorting and peeing, and he suddenly understood: "It's not drought spots, but the fertilizer is too much, dog urine is much fatter and hotter than human urine!" Li Xuejian flew up and kicked the blind dog away: "You have the intention of burning the maize seedlings to death, right?"

The blind dog didn't know what he had done, so he raised his head and looked at the ancestor, looking particularly aggrieved.

"You deserve it!" Li Xuejian glared at the blind dog, hurriedly took out a handful of the white foam of the dog's urine that had not seeped out of the hoe pit, and dug out a few handfuls of urine sludge and threw it aside, picked up the hoe, covered the urine pit, and kicked on the empty soil with the hoe bottom, and then said to the blind dog, "Let's go, go home and pick up water to water, if you don't water this fertilizer immediately, you will be burned to death in less than two days." ”

Camera cuts, close-ups, a bucket being lifted out of a well. Immediately followed by a large panorama, Li Xuejian picked up the bucket and threw another bucket into the well to draw water. In the close-up shot, there is only half a bucket of water in the bucket, and it is covered with sediment, which looks very muddy, almost like the water of the Yellow River. Li Xuejian sighed softly: "I'm afraid that in less than half a month, this well will dry up!"

Li Xuejian walked back with a bucket. After taking a few steps, a whirlwind blew, blowing off his straw hat and rolling forward in the village street. Li Xuejian hurriedly put down the bucket and went to chase the straw hat.

The hat is manipulated by a whirlwind, like playing a game with Li Xuejian. A few times Li Xuejian touched the brim of his straw hat, and the whirlwind suddenly accelerated and pulled him down again. The straw hat rolled forward with a grunt, and finally came to a stop in a dead bush, caught in the dead branches.

Li Xuejian walked calmly to the bushes, bowed and picked up the straw hat, slammed it on the ground, and stomped hard with his feet and roared: "I'll let you run! I'll let you run! If you have the ability, you can still run!" While the ancestor scolded the straw hat, the blind dog also yelled at the straw hat, as if he was also scolding the straw hat.

A Chinese reporter laughed and said "dog fights human power", and the Chinese reporter next to him burst into laughter.

Li Xuejian picked up the straw hat, stared at the straw hat and scolded: "Don't you run away, right? You can't run anymore in your life, the sun bullies me on dry days, and you and her grandmother want to bully me too!"

The whirring wind outside the camera suddenly became louder, and the sound was getting louder and louder. Li Xuejian seemed to realize something, raised his head and looked at the sky.

The camera switches, Li Xuejian's subjective shot, and the yellow-brown dust raised on the mountain peak in the distance, like a translucent and rickety wall, sweeping towards the slope.

The hearts of all the audience at the scene instantly tightened, how could that corn seedling withstand such a strong wind?

At this moment, I only heard Li Xuejian shouting "Blind man go away", the camera suddenly shook and began to run forward along the mountain road.

The audience was stunned, and the directors were stunned. Under normal circumstances, the director will switch back to the objective lens from the subjective lens and let the camera follow Li Xuejian forward. But Zhang Ran did not cut the camera back, but continued to run forward from Li Xuejian's perspective, which means that the whole shot is still in the first person.

The wind swept the stumps and leaves, carrying a long stream of sand and dust. The stumps fell to the ground, crackled on the camera, and then were carried up by the strong wind. The clear world was shrouded in dust and turned into chaos.

The sense of substitution of 3D graphics and holographic sound is already strong, coupled with the first-person perspective, the audience seems to have walked into this chaotic world, walking through the flying dust. The flying dead branches and fallen leaves clicked on the camera, and the audience at the scene exclaimed while dodging the attack of the dead branches.

Suddenly, the yellow wind stopped, the thudding sound that had been buzzing in my ears died down, and the sun regained its vitality and shone a vicious light.

At this point, the camera finally cut back to the objective perspective, and almost all the audience at the scene exhaled heavily. The 3D picture plus holographic sound, coupled with the first-person perspective, brings a sense of presence, as if they really walked in the wind, and the feeling is simply suffocating.

Li Xuejian and the blind dog were still snorting and hurrying. The slope soon arrived, and Li Xuejian stood in the ground, and the whole person was stunned. A close-up of the corn stubble trembling like a broken finger from the wind.

The camera cuts, in the house, Li Xuejian is packing things, turning over boxes and cabinets, tidying up pots and pans, and filling grain in cloth bags.

Many reporters at the scene noticed that Zhang Ran gave a big close-up of the bag containing the grain, and all the grain was packed into the cloth bag, but the cloth bag only contained a small half. Close-up reps emphasize that, for example, several people playing in a nightclub and giving a close-up of a wine glass means that there may be something wrong with the glass. Zhang Ran gave a close-up of the grain pocket, which means that the grain may become a big problem in the future.

The camera cuts to the slope, and Li Xuejian hits with an axe. He laid four rafters beside the corn seedlings as stakes, and tied two door panels around the waist of the four pillars, and then on top of the pillars, he made four straw mats. He drove nails into the pillars of the shed, hung pots, spoons, and brushes on them, hung food pockets under the pots, and dug a small stove under the cliffs of the ground.

At night, Li Xuejian and the blind dog sat by the corn seedlings and talked, and did not fall asleep until late at night.

When I woke up the next morning, the broken corn seedlings had grown a small bud as red as water, half a finger long, so tender that it seemed to fall off at the touch of it, and it was as moist as jade in the sun.

When the corn seedlings re-sprouted two leaves, the grain pockets were empty and the grain was gone.

Li Xuejian took the grain bag back to the village to look for grain, he felt that in a huge village, a handful of wheat leaked from the grain tank of each family, and a handful of noodles was left in the can, which was enough for him and the blind dog to survive the drought. But when he returned to the village, he suddenly found that the doors of each house were locked. Li Xuejian was very angry and scolded: "The people of the entire mountain range have fled, and the thieves have starved to death if they are not sunburned, my grandmother, are you locking the door to prevent my grandfather? The more you guard against me, the more I have to pry the door and climb over the wall!"

But this was only a talk, and in the end he walked all the way through the village, and returned to the slope empty-handed.

The blind dog wagged his tail from afar, ran over to the sound, and rubbed his head against Li Xuejian's trousers. Li Xuejian ignored it, went to the locust tree to take down the hoe, went to the scaffolding to take a bowl, and hoeed the ground one by one. After the third hoe, Li Xuejian dug out two maize grains that were planted at the beginning, and Huang Cancan was intact. Li Xuejian cared out one or two seeds with each hoe according to the distance of the original planting. About half a mountain beam long, the empty bowl was full of corn seeds, and he used this bowl to make a meal.

After eating, Li Xuejian and the blind dog sat in the shade under the scaffolding and guarded the corn seedlings. Li Xuejian said to the blind dog: "There is grain stored for me in each field, and I can dig in the field for one day, which is enough for the two of us to eat for three days." ”

It's just that he thinks too optimistically, it's easy to plow corn in his own field, but it's not so easy when he goes to plow in other fields. He didn't know how far others planted a nest, and at that time, in order to sow the seeds before the rain, men, women and children went into battle together, which was far less uniform and regular than he sowed.

What's worse is that the well is going to run dry. Li Xuejian went back to the village to fetch water and water the ground, he tied the empty bucket down, and the rope of several zhang long was all used up before stirring up a bowl of water. You have to wait a long time next to the well before another bowl seeps out from the bottom of the well.

Li Xuejian sat by the well and thought for a while, and came up with a way to tie a bed of cotton wool into the well and let the cotton wool absorb the well water. The next morning, he went to the well, pulled up the cotton wool, wrung out half a bucket of water, and then tied the mattress to the bottom of the well. He looked up at the sun in the sky and shouted, "I'm seventy-two, what haven't I done?" Can you stump me if the well is dry? As long as you have water underground, I can pull it out." You have the ability to dry this underground water!"

The water problem was temporarily solved, but the food crisis finally broke out completely.

On this day, Li Xuejian dug half a bowl of corn kernels from morning to night in his nephew's field. The next day, he changed the plot, but he didn't even dig out half a bowl. Li Xuejian and the dog changed the three meals of the day to two, and changed the sticky raw soup rice into thin water soup. He didn't understand that when the seeds were planted in the fields by all the families, the seeds did not germinate, and they should have been buried under the brown soil one by one, but why they could not be found.

He didn't want to go to other people's homes to get food, but now he had no choice but to go back to the village to find food. He said to the blind dog: "Borrow it, if it rains, I will return it when there is a harvest next year." ”

On the screen, Li Xuejian carried a cloth bag, staggered back to the village, and came to the door of a house. He took an axe out of the sack and smashed the lock on the door. He pushed the door open and walked in, went straight to the door of the house, and smashed the lock on the upper room. He was in the grain jar, inside and outside the cabinet, under the bed and under the table, and every family was as thin as a hair, but in the end he still didn't find a grain of grain.

Li Xuejian sighed, closed the door as it was, hung the bad lock on the door buckle, and then entered one by one. He broke more than a dozen locks in a row, entered seven houses, and did not find a grain of grain. He sighed, knowing that there was not a single grain of grain left in the village, and the villagers who had fled the famine had taken all the grain with them.

Coming out of the seventh household, Li Xuejian had an extra whip in his hand. He stood in the middle of the road, crackling at the sun, venting his frustration. The thin cowhide whip writhed like a snake in the air, making a crackling and crisp sound. The Whip Shadow sliced the sunlight into pieces and littered the ground.

Li Xuejian didn't put away the whip until he had exhausted all his strength, and sat on the ground panting. The blind dog rubbed Li Xuejian's feet and whined in his mouth, as if to comfort him.

Li Xuejian touched the blind dog's head and said softly: "Blind, don't be afraid, if you have a bowl of me in the future, you will have half a bowl, and you would rather starve me to death than starve you." ”

The blind dog lay on the ground and whined, tears welling up in his eyes. Seeing this scene, the eyes of the audience in front of the screen were also a little moist.

"Let's go!" Li Xuejian got up with a cloth bag and a whip, "Go back to the slope and dig the seeds again." ”

As soon as he took two steps, Li Xuejian's feet were nailed to the ground. He saw a flock of rats coming into the village from outside the village, each of them round and fat as a good year, black and bright under the shade of a wall at the entrance of the village, staring uneasily into the village, staring at him and the blind dog.

Suddenly, Li Xuejian burst out laughing, and a loud laugh echoed through the empty village. The rats were startled and fled. He looked up at the sun and shouted, "Starve to death, starve to death, and starve to death my ancestors!"

Many viewers at the scene were startled, thinking that the ancestor was planning to eat mice?
