Lin Shuqing was sitting at the door of her ruins worried, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Lin Shuqing, are your brothers and sisters okay?" A little girl with braided apricots, carrying a bamboo basket, stood outside the fence of her house and shouted.

She took the basket and went directly into the courtyard, walked up to her sister and brother, and said a little breathlessly: "My mother asked me to bring you some food, take care of tonight first." ”

Lin Shuqing rummaged through her memories and recognized the girl in front of her, named Du Jiaolan. is the daughter of Aunt Hu in the village, and the relationship between the two families was good when her father and mother were alive, and she took care of them after her father and mother left.

"My mother was packing up at home, my father and my brother were all going to the fields to save food, and the roofs of the people in the village were smashed, so they had to live outside tonight. My mother said that there would be a big fire at the end of the village at night, and if it was cold, bring your younger siblings over and bake the fire...... "As she spoke, she took out the contents of the basket as well.

Seven or eight coarse grains, a small water hyacinth, plus a small ceramic jar, and a few strips of clean cloth.

"This is medicine, my mother bought it from the city, it's precious! If you hurt something, wipe it yourself, and remember to return it when you are done, but don't get dirty. Duran pouted, although she was a little disgusted, but the hand that pulled out the things did not pause in the slightest.

Lin Shuqing looked at these things with mixed feelings in her heart.

shouted to the girl who turned around and was about to leave, and said, "You wait, I'll ask you a few words to bring to Aunt Hu." I've heard people say that there will be strong winds and rain after this hailstorm, and the weather may change later, so don't rush to live outside. ”

"Don't lift up the fallen wheat seedlings, for if you do, they'll all die. Let it grow in the ground first, and it will grow back on its own with some fertilizer in the future! ”

Du Lanjiao listened to these words, her eyes full of distrust. She didn't believe that Lin Shuqing could understand these things, and her family was poor and didn't even have acres of land. But because of her mother's authority, she listened patiently to two sentences.

"I have a recipe for making fertilizer here, which is very simple: take the yellow grass and trees and burn them into ashes, scatter them in the ground, and remember to avoid wind and water. If my aunt believes me, I will do my best to help. Also, help me say thank you to my aunt......" Lin Shuqing shouted as she looked at the figure of the girl who was getting farther and farther away.

I don't know if she remembers.

She works at the Institute of Botany, and she listens to being tall, but she is actually a weed-pulling and insect catcher, and she usually goes to the mountains and goes to the countryside, and she does whatever the farmers in the field do. For professional reasons, she learned a lot of agricultural knowledge in college, and although she returned a lot to her teachers, she remembered some so-so.

After the wheat lodging, it cannot be artificially supported and tied, which will cause secondary injury and lead to the complete death of wheat seedlings. The roots of lodging wheat are still alive, and it is necessary to go with the flow and wait for it to grow on its own, which is indispensable for fertilizer, otherwise even if the wheat survives, the yield will be reduced a lot.

This is not a world where chemical fertilizers can be found everywhere, and the easiest and most convenient thing in front of you is to burn some plant ash. That's it, and she can't force the rest.

Even if she went to the field now and shouted how to save the wheat, no one would believe her, and everyone would just think she was crazy.

Lin Shuqing picked up the nest head and divided one for each of her younger brothers and sisters, looking at Lin Zhisheng, who had two rice teeth, and had a headache.

This kid doesn't have any teeth, how can he gnaw on the nest?

When her hand touched the small gourd that was a little hot, she hurriedly opened the stopper on it, and saw that it was a boiled sticky rice paste, which looked like it was freshly cooked with extremely finely ground grain.

Aunt Hu is so careful, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

Lin Shuqing hugged Lin Zhisheng, who was gnawing his fingers, and found a broken wooden bowl and spoon from the ruins of the kitchen, sorted out the only little water left in the broken water tank, blew it cold spoonful by spoonful, and fed Lin Zhisheng.

Several children were extremely hungry, and after gobbling up the nest head in their hands, Lin Shuqing gave them another half, and rubbed some medicine on their injured places.

While it's still daylight, pack up something you can use.

Broken rubble and glittering hail covered the entire house, but fortunately the beams did not collapse, otherwise the walls would not have existed. Lin Shuqing took a few children to pick up and pull for half an hour, and rescued two and a half bags of grain, several layers of broken quilts and some torn clothes, a few pieces of leather, and some wooden pots and bowls.

The water tank was smashed by hail, half of the stove was broken, and everything in the house was shattered.

The loss is not too big, because it is already poor.

She snatched this grain back from the Zhou family, and there was only half a bag left for the family to eat. The quilt is made of coarse arrowroot cloth, thick and hard, and it has a lot of cracks, and this thing cannot be lost when it is going to be cold. This leather is the only valuable thing in the family, left by her father who went to the mountains to hunt before his death, and it is also what Zhou will come to snatch when she wakes up.

After the father and mother were gone, there was no income in the family, and a group of children were already difficult, and the Zhou family still came to loot from time to time, and all the valuable things were piled up in front of her eyes.

The wind was stronger, and the clouds overhead not only lingered, but also became a little inky.

Lin Shuqing looked around, pointed to a mountain col and said, "It's going to rain, let's go there tonight and spend the night and bring some quilts and dry firewood." ”

There was a small cave there, not too deep, but the terrain was so high that the water could not be flooded, and they had no tiles to shelter from the wind and rain, and it was better to have a cave than nothing.

As soon as he said he would go, he immediately took action, left a few days' rations, put everything he could not take away in the house and hid it, and dragged a few children to the cave.

Lin Shuqing cleaned up the higher and flater space, lit the fire with the help of Lin Shuqiao, took a few children to bake the fire next to her, and then cleaned up the things she brought.

Lin Zhishu picked up a bunch of golden straw from nowhere, threw it on the ground, spread a thick layer, and then put a layer of broken quilts on the net.

In this way, they don't have to sleep directly on the ground and be choked by the ground.

"Sister, I'll go outside and find some branches to make a fire." Lin Zhishu stepped forward and said obediently, pulling a few children and walking outside.

At this time, the grass leaves are withered and yellow, and there are withered grass branches at the door, Lin Shuqing is not worried, hugging Lin Zhisheng and whispering: "Be careful, don't fall, if it rains, come back immediately." ”

"I know, sister, don't worry."

A few children ran out, and it didn't take long for them to pick up a large handful of dead branches, and they ran back and forth a few times, and there was a rustling sound outside.

Lin Shuqing raised her eyes, this is, the heavy rain is coming.

Du Jiaolan craned her neck to look at the gloomy sky, and the big raindrops smashed on her cheeks, which hurt a little. It's raining heavily, the wind is blowing, and everything Lin Shuqing said has been hit.
