CHAPTER XLIII
In a month's time, the base in the mountains has a prototype, although it is still very simple, but there are all that should be there, and a lot of smokeless stoves are designed, so that even the reconnaissance of the devil plane will not easily find here, not to mention that the roads near here have been destroyed by the people in the village, and they can only be led here through the hidden tunnel, and most of the food stored in the village is also stored in that cave. It is also very convenient to get it from the hospital.
The bad thing is that the mountains are much colder than the villages, but fortunately, there are many craftsmen in the village, and the houses are all good, both hidden and tight, and in winter, as long as the fire is lit in the house, you can survive the winter. For this reason, the village specially sent the girls and daughters-in-law who could not go out for the autumn harvest to rest the life tunnel, which was simple and narrow in the past, and could not adapt to the transportation of the wounded and materials in the future, so it could only be rebuilt again.
The harvest of Zhaojia Village outside the mountain has begun, and the mountain can be improved by slowly cleaning up, there are people in the tunnel resting, and it is a dangerous thing to harvest food, and the people near the village have quietly put it away, only those who are far away from the turret can't be collected, because the devil puppet army is watching it every day. After discussion in the village, there was only one way to give food to the devil.
The corn in the field must not be planted, not only to produce food, but also to rely on corn stalks to cover the blockade through the turret, and the wounded transferred from other places also pass through in this way, so they have to continue to farm.
Under the pretext of handing over food to the devils, the people in the village began to collect grain with great fanfare, and the devil puppet army was waiting for the grain in the courtyard of the village.
After 10 days of grievance, the food in the village was cleaned up, but fortunately, there was a part of the grain secretly hidden halfway, otherwise with the bags of grain that the devil gave away, the people in the village could only eat until winter.
"Shishi, now the food in the village is enough, but the hospital can only rely on the food we saved before, so that although it can survive the winter, but what about the future?" Patriarch Zhao Xiucai also has no choice, the laborers in the village are gone, I heard that there is news some time ago, but I heard that the little daughter-in-law said that some of them were injured and had to be sent back to recuperate, and the others were sacrificed, and his eldest son was one of the sacrifices.
"Patriarch, I'll see when I get some from the devils, the village is either old or small, and I can't be hungry anymore." Zhao Shishi knows that the village can only find a way by himself, and other people can only go out for a vain sacrifice, since entering the autumn, there is no shelter from the leaves, the area blocked by the devil's turret is larger, and the lives of the people have been seriously affected, salt and medicine have always been not allowed to flow out of the county, fortunately, he has made a lot of salt outside, and the salt he left behind can be supplied to the village hospital for several years, and Zhao Shishi does not plan to flow salt outside, it is already a risky thing to supply the village and the hospital, if it is supplied to other villages, That's an excuse to kill people for little devils.
"Yes, if the children in the village want to grow up, they must not starve, and they can only beg the devil." The patriarch also has no way.
"This is not good, patriarch, didn't you see that the people who went to the devil to ask for food some time ago were all killed by the devil. The devil is not a good person, let's think of other ways. Zhao Shishi hurriedly denied the patriarch's idea.
"The village can't be so wasted, ashamed of the ancestors!"
"Patriarch, we don't lack weapons and ammunition, what are you afraid of, if you can't do it, you will go to the turret to grab the devil's food, anyway, it's all our own. When we come back, we will go down the tunnel, the devil does not dare to enter the village, what are you afraid of. "Zhao Shishi said the worst way, it is also a place for his village to defend himself, and there are no traitors in the village, and the devils can't find where the tunnels are, even if they are dug up, they are all traps.
The old patriarch was temporarily persuaded by the stone, but the food method should be solved as soon as possible, Zhao Shishi himself has a lot of salt, medicine, cloth, weapons and ammunition, even in the village. The food that was not in short supply before is now in short supply, but fortunately, the rest is enough for a long time for the time being.
Back at home, Old Man Zhao and Aunt Zhao were at home.
Seeing that the second elder was peeling the corn that had been recovered, "Daddy, I'm back." ”
"It's back, what's the matter?" The busy second elder saw that his son did it there without making a sound and started working, and he didn't understand that there was nothing important in the village.
"It's not food yet." Zhao Shishi did not hide it, even if this little thing in the village is concealed, it is a matter of a few days, everyone knows it, and it is easy to let the news leak, fortunately, there is nothing wrong in the village, I heard that there is one in other villages, the whole village is finished, there is no food at all, and sometimes those traitor spies have greater losses than the devils.
"I've heard too, let's always save some, don't worry about stones." As soon as the old man Zhao heard it, he understood that he had to let his son go, and there were only Zhao Shi and Jia Jinyin in the village from fifteen to thirty-five, although Jia Jinyin was in good health, he was still the langman in the village, but he had to take care of the paralyzed old lady, and he couldn't do without it, so no one else was suitable, so he could only let Shi go out to see where there was a way.
"Now that the grain has been harvested, we have all handed over the grain to the devils, but the devils will still sweep away, according to expectations, this time it will not be so easy, don't save more food, how to get through this difficulty." Shi also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but there was no way to do it, so he could only hope that the devil would come later, and if it didn't work, he would find something to do for them, so that the devil would not have time to come out and sweep.
"This village knows that the food of each family in the village is scattered and stored, so that even if the devil knows the news, he can't find all the food in the village, and the hospital is even more hidden. The devil is too arrogant now, that is, we can escape the invasion of the devil many times in the remoteness here, and the village outside the mountain, not to mention, in short, we must be careful in the future. "I can't help Old Man Zhao to be so careful, there are too many people who have sacrificed, blood donation has been sprinkled all over the land, and the soldiers in the village have paid for it, sweat, blood and even life.
"Don't worry, Dad, I know how to do it, although I can't beat the devil on the surface, but I need to use my brain to fight the devil, just rely on the little devil's idea, if it weren't for the powerful weapon, I would have driven them back to my hometown a long time ago." Zhao Shishi really didn't like the devil's tricks, Zhao Shishi's brain was very flexible, maybe he had increased the waste before to this time.
Just said to the father and mother of the family, without alarming others, in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shishi quietly left the village alone.
