Chapter 36: The Base Areas of Poverty

The ox cart that was remodeled by Tang Jingyun's structural drawing, although it still shook like a flustered one when walking on this unstable road, it was much better than before.

Even Zhao Xiaozhou felt that the transformed car should not be too comfortable to sit in.

"I used to basically stay in Dayazikou Village because ...... Uh, the teacher is there. I only occasionally go back to the county to live, and things on the farm are ...... I haven't been in care for a long time, and I don't know how well they've done it. ”

Zhao Xiaozhou paused, but still gave Tang Jingyun a preventive shot.

I'm afraid that her expectations will be too high, and she will be disappointed when the time comes.

Tang Jingyun glanced at him and didn't say anything.

What could she expect from the ancient lands?

Whether it's a history book, a wild history, or a novel online article, it's a commonplace problem.

She doesn't know how to compost, and she doesn't even know how to fill in the ancient farmhouse fields with farm manure, livestock manure, and rotten leaves and rotten leaf humus, she ...... What can you look forward to???

However, for fear of hitting Zhao Xiaozhou's fragile little heart, Tang Jingyun did not say it in the end, but prepared that no matter what he saw, he must even take down this Zhuangzi.

It is necessary to dig several deep wells, and also to dig reservoirs to store water resources, in addition to water there is also food, which will be needed later.

The farm had to be impregnable.

Coupled with the natural concealment of the geographical location, maybe this place will be the base of their lives in the future.

Tang Jingyun made a rough outline of infrastructure in his mind.

It's just that before he saw the farm, Tang Jingyun always felt that something was missing, and his thoughts were also wild, thinking of where it was.

After waiting for the ox cart to finish, it stopped.

Tang Jingyun knew that it should have arrived.

With an expectant look, he lifted the curtain and looked out......

Tang Jingyun: "......"

This...... Is this so embarrassing to call it a farmstead?

It's really a blind farm.

Oh no, it should be classified as a farmstead, which is simply an insult to the word farm!

Several piles of mud and thatched houses were scattered together, and at the outermost was a rotten and moldy wooden fence.

Not to mention that it is impregnable, Tang Jingyun suspects that with a little force, these rotten trees may have to be torn apart.

Is...... Back when died.

What's the use of thinking so much beforehand?

You have to start with the most primitive ground-building house!

Even if it was a three-year drought and difficult conditions, Tang Jingyun didn't want to sleep in a mud pile that would collapse and crush people at any time, or a thatched pile full of cockroaches and insects.

While Tang Jingyun was thinking about these things carefully, he watched in horror as one or two came out of the crumbling piles of mud and thatch...... Forty or so people.

Most of them were elderly people and children, and a few pregnant women with bulging bellies but a little out of shape.

There are really people living in it???

And! Or so many people!

Tang Jingyun turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaozhou.

Zhao Xiaozhou blushed and snorted for a while before he said intermittently: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I didn't know that their conditions had become so difficult." ”

As he was talking, an old man with thinning hair walked over, his face was full of traces of time, and he couldn't tell his age, but he was old enough.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had that weak tone of drooping old age, and there were few teeth left in his open mouth.

"Master, we are finally looking forward to your return, are you not leaving this time?"

The old man's dim eyes were filled with tears, and he stared at Zhao Xiaozhou with a bad look, as if he wanted to see all the time he had been absent for so many years, and his expression was forbearant and nostalgic.

Tang Jingyun stood in front of him, unable to see Zhao Xiaozhou's expression clearly, only heard him sigh and said: "The four seas are so big, there is nowhere to be my home, and I don't know if I will go or where I will go." ”

Tang Jingyun turned his head to look, and just saw the loneliness and helplessness that flashed in Zhao Xiaozhou's eyes when he lowered his head.

A trace of distress flashed in his heart, Tang Jingyun was soft-hearted, and he couldn't see others showing such a look.

Turning his head to the old man, he said: "We came here this time, just to put the farm in order, although Zhao Xiaozhou and I will leave, but we will also come back from time to time, this is our base and base camp, we will not throw away anything." ”

Although they don't know what a base area is and what a base camp is, they can understand the phrase "we won't throw away whatever we say."

Immediately, the crowd cheered, and even the old man with thinning hair and an old look looked like he was looking back with red excitement.

Tang Jingyun only reacted at this time, the group of people who were recruited to help in the store before should be the young and strong people of the farm, and the old, weak, pregnant and disabled people left behind are their family members or relatives.

Seeing that these people lived on the edge of the jungle, but they had no sense of precaution at all, and even the wooden fence that stopped the beasts was rotten, Tang Jingyun couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, they came to see it today, otherwise it might have been a tragedy in a few days.

Now is the period when the spring is warming, and all kinds of animals and beasts that have been hungry for a winter are going to come out to find food.

Moreover, the mud piles and thatched piles are the easiest to attract poisonous snakes and the like, and the big beasts can only run when they see it, and if they can't run, they will have to die, and the small poisonous snakes, insects and ants can't prevent it, so they completely open their clothes and give them to the beasts and poisonous insects to eat.

Thinking of this, Tang Jingyun didn't know what to say.

Seeing the current situation, Tang Jingyun was not in the mood to care about the fields assigned by the farm for the time being, as well as planting fruit trees.

Among the more than 40 people, four were disabled, one had a broken right arm, one was lame, the other two, one was pale and could not speak, and the other could only collapse on the ground and could not even sit up.

However, except for the last one, the other three are all as powerful as oxen, especially the first two, who are even more outstanding, and Tang Jingyun observed that the lame palm was full of thick calluses, which should be a good hand at holding the knife.

Of course, it is also possible that the hoe is well dug, Tang Jingyun didn't look carefully, and he didn't know what kind of it was, but the only thing that was confirmed was that these three people were strong enough.

Let Zhao Dakui take the three of them to the jungle to cut some bamboo and wood and come back, while the rest of the people packed things and piled them together, and then pushed those mud piles and thatch piles.

Of course, Tang Jingyun didn't have long-term thinking, so he pushed people to sleep directly on the ground in the open air, but Zhao Xiaozhou revealed to her that there was a big cave where grain was stored here.
