As soon as he opened the kiln door in the morning, Wang Manyin felt that something was wrong.

The air outside was very stuffy, with an indescribable earthy smell. He had only stood in the doorway for a moment, his throat already tickling.

Looking at the sun that has just risen on the east mountain, it is strange, as if it is separated by a layer of window screens.

Farther away, it's dusk......

Looking at this ghost weather, the old yellow wind should be blowing again.

Since the beginning of February, the wind and sand near the village of Jar have hardly stopped. Wang Manyin is now a little accustomed to it, what should he do.

After washing his face in a hurry, he grabbed a few eggs from the outlet next door and started a fire to cook.

Orchids are about to be born in about a month, and nutrition must keep up, and two white eggs can't be beaten every morning.

I have two handfuls of alfalfa sprouts at home, which I eat in the morning.

At present, the snow in the shade of many cliffs and ditches has not completely melted, and the alfalfa in the ground has begun to sprout.

February and March are also the most tender times for alfalfa, just take it in a pot of boiling water to clear the taste, take it out and sprinkle some salt, and drop a few drops of sesame oil is a good cold dish.

Particular people will also shoot two cloves of garlic or cut some shredded chili peppers, which will taste more delicious.

It is said that Wang Lianshun asked people to plant a few acres of alfalfa in the cliff ditch of Dongshan last autumn, which came in handy this spring. Now it is growing very vigorously, and the clusters are very gratifying.

Of course, there is also the result of Wang Manyin watering with space water here.

Recently, every day, the mother-in-law of the second team went to pick and eat home, and even the first team followed the stealing.

If you really pay attention to it, this is naturally not allowed.

However, Wang Lianshun didn't say anything, and Bai Mingchuan probably pretended not to know when he saw it.

It's just a handful of alfalfa, so it's not a big deal.

It's just that these alfalfa sprouts in Wang Manyin's house are not picked from the East Mountain, but from space. In fact, most of the meals his family eats now are space-produced.

Simple meals in the morning. By the time Orchid got up to freshen up and brush her teeth, Wang Manyin had already cooked the rice porridge.

After arranging a few animals in the family, the two of them began to serve the bowls. Rhubarb is not a picky eater, and he bows his head to the bran vegetable soup and drinks it very fragrantly.

However, the two cats became more and more tricky, licked two mouthfuls of bran, and then meowed and turned around and left, and the disgust was very obvious.

Seeing this, a few local chickens next to them quickly ran to the food bowl to grab food.

"These two guys, they must have caught birds from somewhere last night." Seeing the appearance of the two cats, Orchid shook her head.

These two of their own family are born in the blessing and do not know the blessing.

How can ordinary cats have such treatment, they usually find food by themselves, and it is already preferential to be able to drink some brush pot water.

After all, Orchid knows what her cat is capable of.

Even if the owner doesn't feed them, they certainly won't be hungry.

The Loess Plateau is sparsely wooded, and many wild birds can only hide in the leeward part of the cliff high at night when they rest.

These hidden corners can prevent ordinary animals, but they can't stop cats from moving forward.

When they were at home, Orchid often saw cats returning with small birds, so they thought they had eaten enough outside last night.

What she didn't know was that the two guys preferred to eat fish in the space, and they usually took the birds home to invite credit.

As Wang Manyin guessed, not long after he sent the orchid away, the wind began to blow on the mountain again.

However, the sand and dust are not large, and the nose is slightly choked.

This kind of weather can't stop the feelings of the members of the second team of Jar Village. Under the leadership of Wang Yanqiang, everyone continued to build a sweet potato egg production recipe in Chuandao, south of the village.

In just ten days, a mound the size of a square table top rose from the ground. The effect is not mentioned, at least it looks pleasing to the eye.

was busy until midnight, Wang Yanqiang beckoned everyone to rest.

While others were smoking, Liu Xiangyang called Wang Manyin aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, do you buy potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Last year, we educated youths distributed too much food, and we couldn't eat it all in a short time. Now that the weather is getting warmer in the spring, it keeps going bad, so I want to sell some secretly. ”

Last year, the members of the second team each shared more than 300 catties of grain. The educated youths are different, according to the regulations, each person is divided into 540 catties.

Of course, potatoes and sweet potatoes are also the majority.

After the autumn, the educated youths went out to work in the river, and they didn't have time to get back the food, so they kept it in the team. After they came back after the New Year, Wang Lianshun asked people to bring back the grain.

It happened that there was a newly dug three-hole cave, and the educated youths were lazy and trouble-free, so they simply piled all the grain in the kiln.

As the weather warms up, sweet potatoes and potatoes continue to spoil, and the whole grain kiln emits a pungent stench. Now there are more than ten catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes that are spoiled in a day, and it is really distressing to watch.

After discussing it, they planned to sell some of the grain for money.

However, this kind of thing must not be known to the village cadres, and they can only find acquaintances to trade privately, so Liu Xiangyang plans to ask Wang Manyin if he needs it first.

After listening, Wang Manyin was speechless, and he really didn't know what these people were thinking.

"Can't get enough food? Now that the wheat harvest is a few months away, what will you do if you sell the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and then you don't eat them? If it is too bad, you can rub it into dried sweet potatoes and grind them into sweet potato noodles, so that they can be stored for a long time. In addition, potatoes can also be dried into dried potatoes, and they can be steamed and fried when the time comes. ”

Wang Manyin opened his mouth to suggest.

Ordinary people sell grain, and they are in a hurry to use the money. It can be said that it is very rare to have such an inexhaustible meal like the educated youth.

It's just that after the New Year, the sweet potato core begins to spoil the bran, and it can't be bought. If ordinary people buy it, it will cost you a penny a catty, and a thousand catties will only cost ten yuan.

Of course, get a little higher on the black market.

"The key is that we don't have time, rubbing thousands of pounds of sweet potatoes is too time-consuming, and no one wants to do this. If you put it down, it should all be broken, and you might as well sell it. And we've counted the surplus grain, so we'll be fine with the wheat harvest. ”

Last year, they received a monthly grain subsidy of 45 catties until the end of the year. In addition, the distribution of food from the team is equivalent to more than 500 catties of food more than ordinary members, so it is currently abundant.

In addition to the lack of oil and water, the recent life of the educated youth is very moist.

Wang Manyin also wanted to understand the situation, and said again: "My family is not short of food for the time being, you secretly ask people with many children in the village to ask, and someone will definitely buy it." ”

Liu Xiangyang is right, instead of letting it go bad, it is better to give it to the people in the village.

That's a good thing, too.

When there is no harvest, there must be a shortage of food in some families.

However, Wang Manyin can expect that after the wheat is harvested, the educated youth should really know that grain is expensive. There is no subsidy this year, and a few hundred catties of food in the team alone is not enough to eat.

Anyway, it's time to let them go hungry for a while.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard Wang Qingming exclaim: "Sun, look at the sky!" ”

"My mother, it's not a yellow wind today, it's going to blow the old black wind!" Then, another member shouted.

"Stop working, go home quickly." Wang Yanqiang also exclaimed.

"What's the matter, why is there still a black wind?" Seeing everyone's panicked looks, Liu Xiangyang asked urgently.

"Black Wind, it's more powerful than Yellow Wind!" Wang Manyin explained, looking up at the sky.

In the originally dim sky, a gray cloud floated over at some time, like a huge pot lid, from the sky far away.

Immediately after, a high wall of earthy gray sand and dust appeared in the distance. The upper part was connected to the sky, and the lower part was connected to the ground, and it quickly swept in the direction of the jar village.

"What are you looking at, you coward, hurry up and run!" When Wang Yanqiang passed by them, he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Hurry up and run back...... Wang Manyin reacted and reached out to pull Liu Xiangyang.

According to the memories of the predecessor, staying in the wild when the old yellow wind blows will only make it difficult for people to breathe, and the black wind can kill people. First of all, the wind speed is particularly strong, and it can even reach more than eight or nine degrees.

Especially when the wind is blowing, the wind can directly blow people to walk. A black wind, filled with sand and dust, obscured the sky and the sun, the day instantly turned into night, and nothing could be seen at a distance of two or three meters.

If someone happens to be standing on the edge of the cliff, it is possible to be blown down the cliff and fall to their death.

What's more, the crops that have just been planted in the field will also be uprooted.

However, this black wind came relatively early, and spring plowing has not yet begun, so there is no need to worry about crops.

Wang Manyin followed everyone and trotted all the way, and arrived at the door of the house in just a few minutes.

When he opened the door, he turned his head to look and saw that the mountain valley south of the village was already blurry, and he couldn't see anything.

Rhubarb and the two cats also seemed to be frightened by the terrible weather, and when they saw their owners open the door, they rushed to the cave to hide.

Less than two minutes after Wang Manyin entered the cave, he felt dust coming to his face.

Immediately, the entire cave went completely dark, and the windows crackled.

Fortunately, the windows of Wang Manyin's house were covered with plastic sheets, and if they had been made of coarse paper paste like the villagers did, it is estimated that they would have been blown out of the holes.

Even so, he felt that he had difficulty breathing and that his throat was itching worse.

After thinking about it, Wang Manyin simply took Rhubarb and two cats into the space to hide.

As soon as he entered it, he took off his clothes and rinsed them. I washed it up and down before I felt comfortable.

Not only Wang Manyin is like this, but rhubarb and the cat also jumped into the water one after another.

After staying with the owner for a long time, several guys are also very hygienic. This is one of the reasons why their spirit is so different from the rest of their kind.

After taking a bath and putting on his clothes again, Wang was satisfied and felt refreshed.

Anyway, I've been working lately, and I don't have time to be busy with things at all.

Taking advantage of the time he had today, he planned to move the hares and chickens raised in the pit to a new place.

Wang Manyin is still very careful in this regard, and will transfer them every once in a while, mainly to prevent them from getting sick. Although there is space for water nourishment, there is generally no problem, but it is still necessary to take precautions.

He had just taken two steps when suddenly Rhubarb ran to his side and let out a low roar.

This is...... Found something new in the space?

Although Wang Manyin felt a little strange in his heart, he still followed.

Rhubarb ran to a pile of dead leaves next to the reeds, stretching out his paws and scratching at the dirt.

Soon, a pile of corn kernels was dug out.

"Squeak, squeak!!" Not far away, in the reeds, the eager screams of the hairy civets could be heard, as if to condemn them strongly.

Wang Manyin is still unclear, this is the food hidden by the hairy civet. The little guy was very hidden, and he passed by the neighborhood several times, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

It's a pity that the hairy civet took precautions, and I didn't expect rhubarb's sense of smell to be outstanding.

After finding a secret warehouse, Rhubarb still did not give up, but continued to sniff on the ground.

Soon, it attacked the second pile of dead grass more than ten meters away.

This time, it's golden ears of wheat.

The third, fourth......

As secret warehouses were discovered, the cattlefish became more eager, jumping up and down on the reed poles.

However, it knows that its small body is no match for Rhubarb and the two cats, so it is always vigilant. Without waiting for the cat to get close, it quickly burrowed into the depths of the reeds and disappeared.

Wang Manyin was also shocked by the ability of the Mao Qi civet to store grain, and roughly counted, these grains were almost thirty or forty catties, which was dozens of times its own weight.

With that guy's small size, it would take at least a few hundred round-trips to carry it.

And the whole process has to guard against peregrine falcon hunting, which is estimated to be carried out quietly at night, which is not easy to say.

In addition, Wang Manyin discovered a miraculous phenomenon...... The soil around these granaries is dry, and none of them are built in damp areas. Shows that the hairy civet knows the conditions for storing grain.

After a cursory look, he didn't take the grain back.

It is impossible for him to keep the space all the time, and once he leaves, that guy will definitely continue to steal food.

Instead of tossing back and forth, it is better for both parties to save trouble.

And after such a long time, Wang Manyin has adapted to the existence of the hairy civet, and it doesn't matter if he can catch it or not. Even if there is one more member in the space, by the way, biodiversity will be increased.

He turned his head and called the two cats back, and then came back to the dirt pit.

After several months of restoration, the second pit was overgrown with grass again. There is also a circle of lush maru trees on the edge of the pit, forming a huge protective belt.

So far, there has been no escape from the hare.

Wang Manyin opened the new passage first, waving branches to drive away the hares. Then, he carefully confirmed that there was nothing left in the pit before resealing the passage.

After finishing his business, Wang Manyin simply grabbed a hare and stewed it at noon.

During this period, he deliberately went outside to take a look, but it was still full of dust.

It wasn't until about 3 p.m. that the wind and sand gradually decreased.

Only then did Wang Manyin return and carefully clean the dust in the cave.

Boy!

On the soil kang, on the pot table, and on the shelves of the consignment point next door, there is a thick layer of sand and dust. When you wipe it with your hand, it's almost two millimeters thick.

Wang Manyin cleaned up the house and swept away most of the dust.

He was just about to clean up the consignment when he heard an urgent voice outside: "Full silver, full silver, are you at home?" ”

When Wang Manyin walked out quickly, he found that Wang Lianshun and Wang Yanqiang came together, and Bai Mingchuan and the newly appointed captain Wang Zhanjun were also among them.

They were all gray-faced, and they could barely see the human faces.

"Uncle Lian Shun, what's wrong?"

"Quickly bring your rhubarb to find someone, Uncle Guifa went into the mountains to herd sheep in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid something will happen!!" Wang Zhanjun explained eagerly.

Now the second team began to try to raise sheep in captivity, and the breeder Wang Jincai saved a lot of effort and did not need to go into the mountains again.

The shepherd Wang Guifa of the first team is different, and he also needs to drive the sheep into the mountains every day, and it is normal to go back and forth all day in order to fill the stomachs of the sheep. In the usual weather, Wang Zhanjun would naturally not be in a hurry. But today is different, this black wind is blowing, and it is easy to have accidents.
