D5, the four towns of Envelope City
Bang bang bang!
A continuous crash came from a ruin on the outskirts of Xinyang Town, and dilapidated logs of various sizes lay in the sand, half of which had been buried in the sand.
After a dust, it was a lot cleaner, and all kinds of household garbage and feces on weekdays disappeared.
A breeze blew, Ren Hai felt a little cool, the sun had just risen at this time, the temperature had not risen, and the morning was a little cool, which was also a unique situation in the wasteland.
As far as the eye can see, the farther part of the town is still the same, a wasteland with no end in sight, and a land where no grass grows.
After Ren Hai came out of the nest, he began to dispose of the buried logs.
Fortunately, it's just a sandstorm, not a tornado, Ren Hai has heard from others, once the tornado passes, it is really a disaster, and nothing will be left for you.
Lock the log, find a suitable position to hold it, adjust the power point, pull out the log, and throw it in the open space on the side.
From this skillful operation, it can be seen that doing this kind of thing is already handy.
The construction of a log cabin is very simple, generally speaking, the main frame of the log cabin will not collapse due to a sandstorm, unless it is too unlucky, the rest is easier, clean the collapsed logs from the sand, and then find a suitable place to fix it.
With the beginning of Ren Hai's family, more and more people began to repair wooden houses on the ruins.
"Well, that one is mine."
"Take a good look, there's a knife mark on this log, which I left before."
"I've got a knife mark left."
From time to time, the sound of quarrels over logs sounded, filling this already lively scene with another spice.
Logs are an extremely important resource for the townspeople, and unusable land is of little value compared to logs, as long as you have enough logs, you can build a large, solid wooden house where the management allows.
After half a day of restoration, a small wooden house of about 20 square meters was restored to its original appearance.
Other repairers of the hut were gradually completed.
If you were in another town, it would be more than twice as fast as here.
Compared with the other three towns in Envelope City, the total number of permanent residents in Xinyang Town can rank first, but if you follow the number of young and middle-aged people, it can only rank fourth, and the number of people is not even half of the third place in Faith Town.
As far as the eye can see, there are basically widows and lonely here, the elderly, widows, young girls, children, and few young adults are willing to stay in Xinyang Town.
Xinyang Town is located in the south of Envelope City, which is basically a wasteland, and here, except for the farmland enclosed by Envelope City, there are no other resources to use.
This means that there are very few jobs to be found, and ordinary agricultural tasks, except for individual porters or a small amount of land ploughing, are basically solved by women or the elderly.
According to the legal requirements of the Xia Dynasty of the Federation, young and middle-aged people need to be paid 30 percent more than other groups of people for their work, so why not pay less for the same work?
The vegetation resources of Pigeon Town in the east, the mining area and relics resources of Xinliu Town in the north, and the commercial road of Faith Town in the west, which one does not work more than Xinyang Town?
As long as you are willing to endure hardships and play with your life, you still have a good chance of surviving.
Man is like a reed, fragile, but as long as you give it a little soil and water, it can survive tenaciously and spread its branches.
For human beings, they need less, they need only a little bit -- hope, and the only one who can defeat humanity is themselves.
The reason why Ren Hai is reluctant to leave here is nothing more than the influence of his father...
The little boy sat beside the ridge and asked a middle-aged man in a milky voice: "Dad, what was the world like before the great changes that you often talked about?" ”
The middle-aged man looked into the distance, stopped the farming work in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "It is a world that you can't imagine, human beings came out of the cave, experienced the primitive age, the Stone Age, the Iron Age, the agricultural age, the industrial age, the information age, and finally reached the peak of science and technology - the intelligent age, that kind of world, it is difficult to describe." ”
"If technology is so advanced, why is there a catastrophe?"
The little boy's words were a question that most people wondered but couldn't ask.
The middle-aged man's expression looked a little complicated.
"Sometimes, science and technology are too developed, but not a good thing, this world, the most terrible thing is not the beast, natural disasters, but the human heart, there are two things, you can't use your eyes to look at directly, one is the sun, the other is the human heart, and the catastrophe also originates from the human heart."
"Isn't that bad before the catastrophe at all...", probably because of the middle-aged man's words just now, the little boy looked a little scared.
"No, there was an era, which can be said to be the best of times, the age of farming, and the people of that era lived the happiest." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, there was only infinite yearning in his eyes, which was longing...
The little boy was a little suspicious and asked, "Happiness?" What is happiness? ”
"Happiness... Well... Happiness is to be able to laugh from the heart often, and that may be happiness! The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a trace of curvature, and the sun's rays reflected on the man's face, dazzling and intoxicated...
The little boy looked at the middle-aged man's face and felt something: It turns out that this is happiness, really happiness, the era of farming, then I must restart the era of farming...
In the cabin, Ren Hai took the bowl with soup in Li Meng's hand, stretched it to his mouth and took a sip, then handed it to Li Meng, there is only so much water left in the house for drinking, drink less if you can.
Sitting by the fire pit and resting for a while, Ren Hai said, "Li Meng, you rest first, I'll go out." ”
After Li Meng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and blocked the wooden door.
"What? Want to go to the wasteland again? Li Meng himself knew in his heart that what Ren Hai decided to do, no one could stop it.
"I'll go to the grocery store to get some supplies, and this time I'll promise not to go to the wasteland." Ren Hai looked at the stubborn and irreresistible face, and the softness in his heart was touched again, and he grinned.
This picture, he will only leave it to Li Meng, in front of outsiders, no one can see him like this.
"Okay, don't lie to me." Li Meng chose to believe in Ren Hai again, what can he do if he doesn't believe it?
"Okay, definitely, then I'm out, remember to lock the door." Ren Hai saw Li Meng get out of the way and went out.
The surrounding figures were busy, most of them didn't look sideways because Ren Hai walked out of the door, only a few greedy eyes looked at the cabin behind Ren Hai, the residents here would never do anything without any benefit.
Ren Hai showed a fierce look in his eyes, his gaze quickly swept over a few places, and took out the standard short blade from the cloth bag.
Those greedy eyes gradually disappeared, in this Xinyang Town, don't easily offend Ren Hai, a young man, let alone beat that little girl's idea, because... It's going to be dead.
