Chapter 92: Four Watches (+1 for dengyin0649)
Mrs. Ma didn't care about the distressed medicine soup, so she quickly put down her rice bowl, sat in the crowd and kept giving Song Fusheng a look, meaning: Kill someone else's family, kill someone else's family.
But in my heart I was ambiguous:
First, her family is a mule, if she didn't have the heart to kill the mule, her three sons can't say that it is a mule and a cow, but an old cow.
Second, her third son is no longer her third son in the past, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself before, but now it is useless. What if we had to kill her mule?
Killing livestock was a big deal in the eyes of ancient farmers, because the farmers here might not be able to afford a cow in their lifetime.
It is equivalent to in modern times, the urgent need for money has reached the level of selling houses.
So not to mention that the families with livestock are very nervous, even the few families here who have no livestock are also panicked.
But the facts are in front of you, and there is no need for Song Fusheng to repeat it again, everyone also understands in their hearts that livestock consumes a lot of water, and they can drink more than people, and the current situation is really unaffordable. The cattle graze, and there is no grass nearby.
Song Fusheng reminded:
"Not only is there no grass, no water, and not much material, but you only know one thing, and you don't know that there is another one.
We drink medicine because we are afraid that the weather will be too hot and there will be many deaths, and after the mosquitoes bite these rotten and stinky meat, they will bite us again to prevent getting sick.
But have you thought about it? Animals can get sick if they don't have a cover.
According to what I have read in books before, all these diseases are usually transmitted from animals, and the most bluffing one is that when they do get the disease, whoever touches it will be infected, and one will infect the other.
Some are rats, some are cattle, and most of the sources of infection are these animals. ”
The high butcher stared at him in a panic and asked, "Little Sanzi, really?" ”
Song Fusheng nodded, "So let's not talk about whether there is water to feed or not, it's just that the weather is still so hot, just in case, our livestock will have to be killed." While they are not sick or sick, the meat can still be eaten, and if they are killed, they can at least be used as rations. When you wait for it to fall down and get sick, you must not touch it, and you can't eat it if you starve to death. ”
This topic is too heavy, and everyone is talking about it with a bitter face, and they are studying it one after another: to kill, or not to kill.
killed, obviously everyone can get a share of the meat.
It's too hot, and it's impossible to kill anyone's livestock completely for their own food, they can't eat it, and they don't have too much salted meat, and now some people have run out of salt, but everyone finally came to a very consistent opinion, as if they were going to kill their own livestock:
"Fusheng, provide them for half a day, just half a day, let's save water. What if, in case it rains tomorrow, it's cooler. What if you find water tomorrow? If you move forward tomorrow, there will be no dead people, and you will not be afraid of getting sick. ”
Song Fusheng was once again slightly touched by this empathetic face.
He said:
"Well, it's always good to have a hope, so I'll listen to the big guys. But tomorrow afternoon, if there is no water, and the weather is still so hot, then it depends on which family can't eat the feed, and if the situation is not good, we will kill which family. ”
——
It was late at night, it was very deep, it was about one o'clock in the morning, and the family wore hoods and fell into a deep sleep.
Qian Peiying turned over, touched it, and the empty one next to her woke her up.
She was tired, sleepy and hungry, half-squinting and holding herself up, illuminated by the light of the fire, and looked around and saw no shadow of Song Fusheng.
Today, a few and a half of them are on duty at night, extremely unreliable, and they sleep loudly.
Qian Peiying secretly changed a sanitary napkin, and when she came back, she saw this scene and shook her head:
It's a shame that I didn't meet robbers, I only met thieves who wanted to steal thermos pots, and they didn't have anything to worry about the big mountain thieves and robbers.
"Her father?" Qian Peiying didn't dare to walk far away, she was scared by her daughter, afraid that she didn't pay attention to stepping on the white bones.
"Huh? Here, why don't you sleep? ”
"Why don't you sleep?"
"Alas! I'm so tired that I can't sleep. ”
Qian Peiying squatted in front of Song Fusheng and said with a breath: "When you're done, you will drill into the space and find a cigarette to smoke?" Did you unpack the whole cigarette hidden in the entryway cabinet? You can do it. ”
Song Fusheng thought that Qian Peiying would definitely be like in modern times, and then grind him for not paying attention to his body, and he didn't have a face or something, but he didn't expect her daughter-in-law to stare at her and say:
"Do you know what our modern cigarettes have to be here? None of them smoked. I still hope that it will be settled in the future, and there is no silver turnover to sell it at a high price, you open it for me, how can I sell it, box by box? ”
Song Fusheng's expression was stunned, and he couldn't believe it.
