Such a small number of people, very quickly, all of them were bought.

Before the hour arrived, Lin Mu simply chatted with the soldiers who were not on duty.

During the chat, Lin Mu realized that this village was not all old people.

There used to be young people and children in the village, but the village was so poor that it was difficult for the young men in the village to find a daughter-in-law.

The nearby villages knew about their village, and they didn't want the girls in their family to interact with the boys in their village, and after visiting other places once, it was basically over.

There is no way, the young and strong have gone out to work, and those who are left behind are lazy people who are unwilling to work, except for the old people and children who have no strength.

Poverty alleviation is not impossible, relying on this group of elderly people and children, no matter how much they help, they will not be able to get rid of poverty.

In this way, poor, young people go out to work, it is difficult to help the poor, they are still poor, young people still have to go out to work, an infinite vicious circle.

Lin Mu saw that all the people who came out were old people, because the children were locked in the house and were not allowed to come out, in case there was any accident.

Today, if it weren't for the soldier Xiao Zhou and them going to knock on the door, Lin Mu's big horn would have sounded in the village for a day, and no one would have come out.

After all, the physical fitness of the old man is not better than that of the young man in all aspects, and once something happens, he will shout people, and he will not be as loud as the young man.

In the past, the village was more reluctant to outsiders, and every time an outsider strayed into the village, people who were working or eating outside would quickly go home, and even if the elderly did not go home, they would call all the children home.

Human traffickers, fraud, murder, such evil deeds are easy to carry out in this village of the elderly.

Therefore, the old people in the village are more vigilant.

Later, after the disaster, I don't know if there was no food, or if something happened, or something else, but in short, none of the young people in the village have come back.

When these four soldiers came to camp here, it took a lot of effort to get the old people in the village to accept them.

Lin Mu looked at this dilapidated village, some of the houses and even the doors were scorched black.

It was the remains of the wooden door after it spontaneously combusted.

Lin Mu didn't know how much a door like that, even if it was locked, would have a good effect.

Looking at it, Lin Mu found that the gas pipes at some of the doors did not seem to lead to the house.

"This ...... I don't think there is gas in some homes, so ...... How do you cook now? ”

"How can I cook and eat raw. At the beginning, most of the elderly did not want to spend money to turn on gas, so they kept using electricity or collecting firewood to burn, and when the high temperature came, these two could not be used, so they could only eat raw. ”

For such a long time, these soldiers have almost understood the situation in the village.

"Occasionally, the children in the family can't stand it anymore, so they take some food, go to the homes of people who have gas, and exchange food for gas."

Lin Mujia is in an ordinary rural area, but it belongs to the new countryside, and the planning and construction of the whole village is relatively good and relatively new.

Once, he thought that the countryside was like their village, and that all the countryside should be similar to their village.

He really couldn't imagine that it was already this age, and there were still people living in such a dilapidated village.

"That'...... Does no one take care of them? ”

As soon as Lin Mu finished saying this, he found that the soldier in front of him was looking at him with a very strange look.

"Who's in charge? How? How long does the tube last? ”

These three questions stopped Lin Mu, yes, the children are alive, who will take care of these old people...... Now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, who will care about the irrelevant old people.

Why didn't he eat minced meat?

When the hour came, Lin Mu got into the car and left the village, which seemed to be completely out of touch with the times.

However, life in the village continues.

"Good grandson, look at what grandma is getting!"

"Rice, white flour!"

"Whatever you want to eat, milk will make it for you!"

"Steamed buns!"

"I can't make steamed buns now, why don't I make noodles for you?"

"Okay!"

Since the high temperature, although there is still grain, but it is all wheat that has not been milled, and the wheat milled gets a kilometer in the village, and there is no electricity, and the wheat cannot be milled.

There are still discarded stone mills in the village, which can still be used for washing and washing, but it is impossible for the elderly and children to rely on the stone mills to grind wheat, and they do not have the strength.

It has been a long time since the old and the young have eaten the ground rice noodles, and at this time, how to eat it is already secondary, and some of them are important.

The old lady took out the basin, saved a spoonful of flour, poured the rest in, added water, and rubbed it vigorously and seriously.

After kneading it, he turned around and carefully swept the dusty board.

Sprinkle the flour on the cutting board, then put the kneaded dough on it, knead it a few times, and then start rolling out.

Roll out the dough into a thin layer, fold it and cut it into thin noodles with a knife.

Take out a bowl and put the noodles in the bowl, take out another bowl and pour the last pinch of salt into the bowl.

The old lady's house did not have gas, so the old lady went back to the house to pick sweet potatoes, a sweet potato, you can use gas once.

The old lady was in the house, and she chose a sweet potato that looked the smallest and was the lightest to carry.

After carrying the sweet potatoes in her pocket, holding two bowls, and after everything was done, she told her grandson to stay in the house honestly, and she went to Grandpa Liu's house to make noodles for him to eat.

asked her grandson to plug in the door from the inside, and she locked the door from the outside, and then went to the old man Liu's house with gas.

Old man Liu is one of the few people in the village who has access to gas, and his son bought a house in the city, but he didn't take old man Liu there.

Although Old Man Liu said to the outside world that he was unwilling to live in the city, everyone knew it.

Fortunately, Old Man Liu's son is not filial to the extreme, he should buy it for Old Man Liu, there is not a lot at all, this gas is also opened by Old Man Liu's son at his own expense, in general, Old Man Liu's house is a better home built in the village.

When the old lady passed, there were already people waiting in line at Old Man Liu's house to use gas.

After all, this time I bought scarce food for the first time in a long time.

The old lady even saw that many people came with meat and spices, as well as all kinds of vegetables.

"I really can't live, the money has been spent, and I won't be able to live in the future." Seeing these people, the old lady muttered quietly.

But a group of people are talking loudly, and even when the old lady is not muttering quietly, no one will be able to hear.

However, even if they heard it, no one would care.

The old lady pondered how long it would be before her turn came, while listening to the loud chatter of the people in the room.
