Chapter 245: A Big Brush That Feeds on Flesh and Blood
Chapter 245: A Big Brush That Feeds on Flesh and Blood
A water tank of rice, two bags of 30 pounds of white rabbit brand bagged rice, three bags of flour, the refrigerator has more than half a slice of pork, a few pounds of sausages, bacon, vacuum bagged roast duck, Dongpo meat and other 8 bags, and four live animals, two rabbits, a goat. There was also a sack of rice that had not been threshed.
Wang Lu rubbed his face, held back his yawn, and said to Chen Wei, Xie Ling, Wang Bi'an, Zhou Chunyu, Litou and Feng Haiqi in front of him: "This is what can be eaten on the mountain, by the way, there are still some salted eggs and preserved eggs, which are still pickled." In addition, Chen Wei in Houshan also opened some fields and planted some side vegetables, she is familiar with this situation, Chen Wei, let's talk about it. ”
Chen Wei hugged the pear head and said: "I didn't plant anything, there are small greens, cucumbers, red pestles and potatoes, the potatoes have only been planted for a long time, this solar term is not right, and I don't know if the road can be planted alive, the few vegetables of the small greens can be eaten, but they are not hungry." ”
Everyone present looked embarrassed, these things have to feed 6 adults on the mountain plus a small hairy head, it is too tight.
The point is that no one can say clearly when the zombie tide under the mountain will recede.
Wang Luqiang smiled: "Actually, there are still some things that are not counted, such as four chickens can lay eggs, rabbits will also lay cubs, sheep can produce milk, these can also be eaten." There are also a lot of wild vegetables in the back mountain, and when it rains, mushrooms and lichens will emerge, and some small bamboo shoots will be drawn out in the bamboo forest. He turned his head to Feng Haiqi and said: "Lao Feng, I don't know much about edible wild vegetables, and I know a Ma Lantou, you used to be in the Marine Corps, you must have learned the skills of survival in the wild, which wild vegetables and mushrooms can be eaten, which are poisonous, but it will trouble you, otherwise, we didn't die in the mouth of the zombies, but drank the mushroom soup and fell, it really became a joke." ”
Feng Haiqi said: "That's nature. Wang Bi'an hurriedly asked, "Uncle Feng, can you also teach me this skill of recognizing wild vegetables?" ”
Feng Haiqi rubbed Wang Bi'an's hair: "It's too late for you to learn from Uncle Happy, this is not a secret book for passing on children and not daughters, there is no Internet now, otherwise, when you check it on the Internet, you will know that the Tao is almost complete, and what is missing is only the experience of picking in the field." ”
Feng Haiqi said that he took Wang Bi'an to pick wild vegetables, Chen Wei suddenly thought of a news he had seen before, and said busily: "Lao Feng, you should be careful when picking wild vegetables, someone in Yonggang City used to pick wild water celery and eat poisoned." ”
Feng Haiqi said suspiciously: "How can water celery be poisonous?" We used to eat it raw, and we never had an accident. He thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "I know the way, the person who picked it must not be water celery, it should be Shi Longrui, that thing is relatively small, but the roots are very long, and the leaves are similar to celery, and it is easy for ordinary people to admit mistakes." Saurus is poisonous. However, it is also a traditional Chinese medicine for external use, which can be used to treat diarrhea and reduce swelling. ”
Xie Ling stuck out her tongue: "How particular are you about eating wild vegetables?" Great, fortunately, there is Lao Feng this Shennong. ”
Chen Wei also breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, we don't need to eat wild vegetables for a while, Wang Bi'an can follow Lao Feng to pick some bamboo shoots, mushrooms, or something to dry, and then put them on when the food is not enough." ”
Zhou Chunyu took the initiative to say: "That's it, Lao Feng and I will eat less, anyway, we are all adults, and we can endure hunger." ”
Before Wang Lu could speak, Chen Wei hurriedly said: "What kind of words is this, now we are a family and don't talk to each other." Who on this mountain can eat less? Needless to say, you three men, it's up to you to fight hand-to-hand with zombies, you can't eat, you don't have the strength, how can you protect us? Xie Ling, Wang Bi'an, and Litou are all children, they are still in the development period, and they can't be hungry. I see, it's okay for me to eat a few bites, just to lose weight. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Feng Haiqi, shouted, "How can this be", "Mom, my food is good for you", "I can't do this thing if you're hungry alone"......
Wang Lu clapped his hands: "Okay, the food supply on the mountain is far from the point where people are hungry." Chen Wei, let's do it, don't get seven pots and eight bowls for dinner in the future, just like we used to stay up in Sunshine City, cut some vegetables and diced meat in the rice and cook it in one pot, which can fill the stomach, and the nutrition is comprehensive, just do it. You can also use less firewood, which also consumes physical strength. ”
Yashan is still far from the point where the pot cannot be opened, although everyone is a little worried about the stored food, but now they are not in a hurry, they can only say that one day is one day, and the zombies under the mountain are staring at each other to see who can survive whom. …,
After discussing the food issue, everyone began to get busy.
Wang Bi'an takes care of the pear head at home, grabs the stool and urine, and the work standard is that the pear head does not cry or make trouble.
Xie Ling began to rub the rice, the half bag of unthreshed rice at home was originally cut by Chen Wei from the bottom of the mountain for chickens and sheep to eat, and now it is naturally impossible to be so extravagant, and this rice has to be kept for herself. It's just that there is no threshing machine. Speaking of which, the old man Chen of Houlong Village had brought a small electric thresher for this summer harvest, but the machine had not been moved yet, so Xie Ling could only rub it by hand to remove the chaff.
The effect of hand-kneading rice threshing is outrageously low, and the people of Hemudu also know how to use a pestle made of tree trunks to pound and thresh the grain. Fortunately, there was not much rice, and it was only half a sack, so Xie Ling had to sit patiently on the hall and rub it.
Chen Wei took Zhou Chunyu to a grotto in the back mountain, saying that she would take him to see something good.
Zhou Chunyu followed Chen Wei and came to a high-level, ventilated and dry grotto, and saw a pile of "branches" on the ground of the grotto, and then took a closer look: "It's bean stalks!" ”
The bean stalks have plump pods, and after being dried by the sun, the pods are cracked, revealing small round beans inside.
It was originally called edamame, but now after it is dried, it has changed its name to soybean.
Chen Wei said: "This soybean was harvested by me and Wang Bi'an from the bottom of the mountain a while ago, originally because I wanted to supplement some vitamins when there was a shortage of vegetables in winter." Now it's time to give the pear head to eat. It is best to use a soymilk maker to beat soy milk and eat it. ”
To be honest, there are not many things to eat in pears, although you can eat some chewy food, but after all, the child's stomach is too weak, or to eat liquids, originally to the age of pears, it is time to eat rice noodles, but now there are rice noodles in the mountains.
Zhou Chunyu still has milk powder in his bag that can be eaten for two weeks, the source of goat milk is not stable, I don't know how long it can last, with soybeans, the child has an additional source of nutrition.
Zhou Chunyu didn't know what to say, so he said clumsily: "Sister, look at this, your family's hard work has taken advantage of me and Litou." Such a lot of bean stalks have to be carried up the mountain and dried, which is so tiring, but the result is good, and it is all in the mouth of the pear head. ”
Chen Wei patted Zhou Chunyu on the shoulder: "Don't say this kind of stupid talk, in fact, we also have something to eat, this ground soybean milk is for the pear head to drink, and the remaining bean dregs can also be eaten. ”
As she spoke, Chen Wei divided the several large woven bags she was holding in her hand into Zhou Chunyu: "Come, this bean stalk is almost dry, and we just beat the beans out." ”
Beating soybeans is very simple, originally, the most convenient is to be in the courtyard of the Dragon King Temple, directly hold a wooden stick on the bean stalk and beat, soybeans will pop out of the cracked pods, after beating, sweep the soybeans on the ground with a broom.
It's just that now the yard is occupied by solar panels, Chen Wei and Zhou Chunyu can only work in the grotto, and the grotto floor is full of large and small stones.
Chen Wei and Zhou Chunyu only had to work hard, the two first stuffed the bean stalks into the woven bag, and then beat through the bag for a while, and then took out the bean stalks, and the bottom of the bag was soybeans and some broken branches and leaves, broken bean shells.
The capacity of the woven bag is limited, and it can't hold many soybean stalks at one time, so the speed of work is much slower, but fortunately, there is nothing else on the mountain anyway, Chen Wei and Zhou Chunyu are concentrating on cleaning up the soybeans in the grotto, and strive to return the grains to the warehouse.
At the same moment, Wang Lu and Feng Haiqi stood on the platform in front of the Dragon King Temple, holding binoculars, looking down the mountain.
The fire in the rice fields on the other side of the Yinjiang River has been extinguished, and only a few rushed grass fields have been ignited, which are still smoking because of the slow burning rate.
Wang Lu turned the telescope in his hand, the distance between the mountain and the mountain was very far, and the magnification of the telescope was not high, so he could only vaguely look at it, but he could still see that something was moving around in the farmland.
It's clearly a zombie.
Where have you come from and where are you going? It would be nice if it was just a passerby. We stayed up in the mountains for a while, and sent you to leave the Yinjiang River to eat meat and drink blood somewhere else.
Wang Lu muttered in his heart, and handed the telescope to Feng Haiqi beside him: "There are still a lot of zombies under the mountain, and this is endless." ”
Feng Haiqi held the binoculars and looked at the field, and then looked at the winding road at the foot of the mountain, and there were also black dots moving on the road. …,
He shook his head, nodded again, the current situation was completely expected by him, no matter what the reason for the appearance of the corpse tide, but from now on, it seemed that this corpse tide was far from over.
Wang Luba clicked his mouth: "Lao Feng, how did you say this zombie tide came about?" Well, they don't stay in their own land, what are they messing around? Even if it's a walk, I don't walk this far. According to you, they all came all the way from a place as far away as the Siming Mountains. ”
In Wang Lu's impression, zombies are actually quite homely, you look at the zombies in Yinjiang Town, as long as you don't mess with it, it doesn't go out of the town much, and the range of walks is relatively narrow, this phenomenon of zombies from one village to another village has never been seen. It seems that the zombie instinct also has a domain concept, and the range of activities is mainly in the place where he stayed before his death.
Feng Haiqi doesn't know what the zombies are messing around, and the police have to ask for a confession when investigating the case, but it's a pity that the zombies can't speak, otherwise, with Feng Haiqi's many years of police career, it's no problem to ask for the bottom with some small means.
Feng Haiqi scratched the hawthorn on his chin: "Maybe it's to find food, since the outbreak of Resident Evil, it has been several months, those who should be damned have already died, the people who should be alive have already escaped, and the zombies can't find the living to eat." Instinctively, they began to wander around. ”
Wang Lu crossed his arms and said, "Are you saying that they are a little like the film about the animal world shown by CCTV, and they migrate in groups out of instinct?" The migration of herbivores is actually easy to understand, driven by instinct to move from water to grass. What about zombies? They chase meat. Perhaps they are more attracted to towns and cities than to mountainous and rural areas. After all, the population of large cities is more concentrated, and for the sake of collecting supplies, survivors will also rely on cities for survival. ”
Wang Lu suddenly thought of something, and stomped his feet heavily: "Hell, do you think these foreign zombies will stay in Yinjiang Town and not leave?" Compared with the mountains, Yinjiang Town is also a good place with a large population. Not to mention anything else, hiding in the house is more comfortable than being exposed to the wind and sun in the field. ”
Feng Haiqi sighed: "It's not easy to say this, I estimate that the zombies in Yinjiang Town will run to Yonggang City, but in the same way, the zombies coming down from the mountains will also stay in Yinjiang Town." Isn't there a saying that it is good for this mountain to look at that mountain? Zombies are actually jumping around aimlessly, but the zombies in the city are still running to the countryside. ”
As soon as Feng Haiqi's last sentence came out, both of them were shocked - yes, why do you think that the flow direction of the corpse tide is unilateral? Can it only flow from a mountain village to a town? This is not a migrant worker, but can only go from the countryside to the city. Zombies are just driven by hunger, wandering around, unintentionally forming into groups. Zombies already have a certain instinct for group activities, so the more they gather, the more they gather, forming a corpse tide.
But the direction of the corpse movement can never be fixed.
Wang Lu's face turned a little pale, and such a scene appeared in his mind, on this continent, groups of zombies aimlessly brushed along the large network of winding mountain paths, highways, and railways, from rural to urban and from town to rural area, like a huge brush.
It's just that this brush is not dust, but flesh, the flesh of the survivors.
On this continent, there must still be survivors like Wang Lu, and it can even be concluded that some survivors have huddled together to survive, perhaps, somewhere far away, a group of survivors have cleared all the zombies in a small town and established a town completely controlled by the living. There are spacious rooms, plenty of supplies, clean drinking water, and even a stable power supply.
Just when they thought they could live happily ever after like this.
The corpse tide is coming.
The rolling corpse tide can definitely flood this emerging human survivor town, and the survivors can use the method of ants gnawing bones to clean up the zombies in the original town little by little, but they will definitely not be able to resist the surging corpse tide.
As a result, many survivors will be killed in the sudden onslaught of corpses, and the few who were able to escape will once again fall into the difficult situation of lack of food and clothing.
What's even more damn is that this kind of corpse tide doesn't happen only once!
Just as Wang Lu and Feng Haiqi coincidentally gave the name "Corpse Tide" for this large-scale migration of zombies, the tide will wash over this continent repeatedly.
Until this continent, there was not a single survivor.
