Chapter 173 Jinjiang Exclusive
"So many things! I saw cabbages! They're huge!"
"This is the same thing Yunlu Village gave me a few days ago. Was it also given by Yunlu Village?"
"General, how did you do that just now? How could you produce so many things with just a wave of your hand?"
"Could it be that the general has also gained the favor of the immortals and learned immortal arts?"
Facing the flood of questions from the disaster victims, Huo Tiankuo succinctly replied, "It's not some magical technique. The supplies were indeed provided by Yunlu Village. Everyone, don't rush to ask. Line up first and claim your share of the supplies."
As soon as the question of receiving supplies was raised, the excited victims did not bother to ask any questions and rushed over to line up.
Huo Tiankuo called over a dozen members of the Huo family army to help distribute supplies.
This time we will mainly distribute necessities such as nutritional supplements, salt, sugar, cabbage and radish, heating pads, biological clothing, charcoal, etc., which will be distributed for half a month at first.
Only the frostbite ointment was given out, and he continued to keep the rest of the medicine.
The elderly, the weak, women and children will each receive one portion of all supplies, the young and strong will receive 1.5 portions, and the Huo family soldiers will receive double portions.
It’s not that Huo Tiankuo is partial to the Huo family army. The latter needs to hunt and protect the victims. The task is heavy, so they must eat more to maintain their condition.
Fruits were also distributed, including both normal and mutant fruits.
The former has more, and everyone can get several. The mutant fruit is one for each person, and the share is the same for men, women, young and old.
The victims didn't expect that there would be fresh fruits to eat in winter. The aroma of fruit mixed with the smell of ice and snow wafted over, and many of the victims looked dazed.
At this time, Huo Tiankuo told the victims the uses of heating pads, biological clothing and nutrients. Everyone put on the clothes or put the heating pads on their bodies with some suspicion, and soon showed shock.
"It's actually not cold anymore!"
"My body feels so warm after applying the heating pad! So warm!"
Some victims opened a nutritional supplement and tentatively ate half of it.
The original nutritional supplements have no taste, so it’s hard to say whether they are delicious or not, but they make you feel full quite quickly.
The victims stared with their eyes wide open, touched their stomachs and exclaimed: "I'm really full!!!"
"I only ate two bites and I'm not hungry anymore. This is amazing!"
They were surprised when the general said that the food they were given was enough for half a month. How could just some salt, sugar and fruit last for half a month?
It turns out the real big deal is these tiny nutritional supplements! ?
When the victims thought about General Huo saying that these were given by Yunlu Village, they were excited but also felt a little doubtful.
Someone asked the key question, "General, Yunlu Village can't possibly give us so many supplies for free, right?"
Yunlu Village already gave us quite a bit of supplies a few days ago, so why would they give us free supplies again this time? That's unlikely.
After hearing this, the others calmed down and also felt that it was not very reasonable.
Most likely the general paid a price without them knowing it.
But the Huo family army had nothing but worn-out armor and weapons with rolled edges, so what could they possibly offer?
Some people who tend to overthink things, even though they think it is unlikely, still can't help but guess that General Huo might have sold them out.
Huo Tiankuo said, "Of course, I can't give you the supplies for free. I borrowed these from Brother Lu from Yunlu Village, who can summon giant vines."
The victims looked at each other in bewilderment. Borrow? What could they borrow?
Huo Tiankuo said: "Using the labor of all of us, we will help Brother Lu work and farm in exchange for survival supplies."
The victims were in an uproar.
As long as they can be provided with food and other supplies to survive, they will definitely not be afraid of working.
But, farming in the snowy winter?
"It's so cold, the seeds won't grow at all, right?"
"Besides, the ground is frozen and can't be turned over. How can we plant?"
Huo Tiankuo said, "Of course we can't grow crops directly in the snow. In Yunlu Village, we've built greenhouses in the fields. It's as warm as spring inside, and they also use some treasures given by the gods to help, so the crops grow very well."
He shared some of his experiences in Yunlu Village.
The victims were almost shocked.
More than 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu?
It will take more than a month to mature?
A mushroom house that produces tens of thousands of kilograms of mushrooms per month, and is full of fruits of all kinds... Are you sure this is not the fairyland?
The victims were shocked and skeptical, but at the same time they couldn't help but yearn for it and wanted to see with their own eyes whether such a magical place really existed.
Huo Tiankuo said, "Brother Lu has promised to build a thousand acres of greenhouses for us. We don't need to go to Yunlu Village. We can have these in the near future."
"The cost of building a greenhouse is extremely high, and the large amount of supplies I exchanged for this time are also expensive. Therefore, the first batch of grain we planted and half of the second batch of grain harvested will be used to repay the debt to Yunlu Village. However, half of the second batch of grain harvested will be ours, and the same will be true for the rest of the harvest."
With this said, the victims were not sure what the so-called half meant.
General Huo simply reported the specific numbers.
The disaster victims were completely stunned.
More than 700,000 kilograms!
Oh my God, what an astronomical figure.
Before the disaster, the most land owned by the victims present at the scene was only a dozen mu, with an average yield of 300 kilograms per mu. Even if they did not pay taxes, they could only grow a few thousand kilograms of grain a year.
Now, they have to grow more than 700,000 kilograms in just over a month?
The eyes of the victims were filled with shock, disbelief and trance.
They didn't dare to think that all the food they grew could be distributed to them, and tacitly assumed that the hard-working Huo family army would get the lion's share.
But according to the tax payment standards before the disaster, it should be okay to keep half, right?
More than 300,000 kilograms of grain were shared by more than 2,000 people, and on average each person received at least 140 to 150 kilograms of grain.
A maturity period of more than a month sounds unrealistic, so let's double it.
Even if they collected this much food in three months, it would be enough to ensure that they would not starve to death.
The victims felt warm in their hearts when they thought that they would be able to completely get rid of the shadow of famine soon, and felt that life finally had some hope.
But at this time, someone said worriedly: "Can we reclaim wasteland at will? Will we be punished by the higher-ups?"
As soon as the words came out, the crowd, which had just been a little excited, quieted down.
Yes, if you just reclaim land and occupy it, the higher-ups will definitely find out and punish you.
Huo Tiankuo's expression was stern, and he said in a loud voice: "The most important thing now is to survive. If there are any problems in the future, Huo will shoulder them all. There is no need to worry."
However, when the situation stabilizes in the future, the fields and greenhouses will be handed over.
Since they can get such a large piece of high-yield land for free without paying any price, I think the authorities will not make it too difficult for ordinary people.
The victims finally felt relieved and began to feel genuinely happy.
While helping to set up the tents, they enthusiastically discussed the topic of farming. Some people gathered around the elderly and children wearing biological suits and asked them about their experience wearing them.
In the past, the victims lived in the military tents originally belonging to the Huo family army. They had poor thermal insulation and were not enough in number. Everyone lived in a crowded place, with snoring, teeth grinding, and the smell of sweat and body odor... Not to mention the living environment.
With the addition of one hundred new tents, everyone's living quarters were rearranged according to gender and family, and the victims could finally live more comfortably.
After finding their new tents, the victims were still very excited.
"I asked the general's personal guards, and I heard that the young man from Yunlu Village will not only come over tomorrow to help build the greenhouse, but will also build a kang for us in the tent."
"The earthen kang on the north side? I heard it's very warm in winter."
"But it will also be very wasteful, right?"
"What are you afraid of? General Huo has provided us with such good conditions. Can't we even collect some firewood?"
"That makes sense! As long as I can avoid the cold, picking up some firewood is nothing."
The victims were chatting while eating dinner.
The staple food was the newly arrived nutritional supplements, which didn't taste as good as rice porridge, but after eating two or three bites and pairing it with the broth cooked by the Huo family army, everyone was full.
Some people with small appetites even ate too much.
After the meal, they can enjoy a piece of fruit or candy. It seems that their living standards have suddenly risen from extreme poverty to a well-off life. The weather-beaten faces of the victims showed expressions of extreme happiness.
"This candy is so sweet!"
"The fruit is delicious too. I've never tasted such sweet fruit in all my life."
Huo Tiankuo specifically told the disaster victims that eating the mutated fruit could strengthen their bodies and reduce the risk of illness. Although no one said it out loud, they were all guessing in their hearts that the so-called mutated fruit might be a fairy fruit.
Based on this speculation, the disaster victims, who were reluctant to eat too quickly, held the fruit in their mouths for a long time and were reluctant to swallow it until they could no longer taste the sweetness.
As I lay down, I was still savoring the sweetness that remained in my mouth.
·
After the Huo family army left, the village chief and others were not in a hurry to leave the Lu family.
Including Ge Yuan, after sending the people off, they also came to the Lu family again. In addition, Old Man Wei, Wei Xiang and Jiang Fan and his wife were also called.
When the three people from the Wei family came over, they didn't quite understand what was going on.
Until Li Tie happily told them: "It's good news, Lu Xuan said there is a way to cure Lao Wei's leg."
Wei Xiang's spirits lifted, and she looked at Lu Xuan excitedly, "Can my father's leg be cured?!"
An idea flashed through Jiang Fan's mind, "Is it a healing ability?"
Wei Xiang suddenly realized.
Yes! Why didn’t she think of it?
Mei Cheng's ability level is too low, and he can only treat a few people's minor injuries, but Lu Xuan is very powerful, and maybe he can really cure it.
Even Old Man Wei, who had been lame for many years and had no feeling about it, was so excited that he started shaking.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "The healing ability may indeed be able to cure it, but the cure I'm talking about is not using the ability, but the medical cabin."
He led everyone to a room dedicated to storing medical cabins, and pointed to a cabin placed in a corner of the room to explain its use to everyone.
Regeneration of severed limbs, repair of organs, any terminal illness can be cured...
The Wei family, Mr. Ge Yuanzhang and others were dumbfounded.
"Is this so powerful?"
"You can even recover from a broken arm or leg!?"
"With a treasure like this, wouldn't it be hard to die?!"
Ge Yuan touched his face and seemed to understand something.
However, the first person to be treated is Old Man Wei.
Lu Xuan asked Wei Xiang to step aside first, signaled Old Man Wei to take off his clothes and lie down in the medical cabin, closed the cabin door, changed the parameters of the glass window facing downwards to invisible, and then called Wei Xiang back.
After the medical cabin was activated, it automatically performed a comprehensive physical examination on Dad Wei. After a moment, the examination results, treatment plan, and the name and dosage of the medicine required for treatment appeared on the operating screen.
Lu Xuan found the corresponding medicine in the mall, poured in the special medical fluid for the medical cabin, and clicked to start treatment.
The people outside soon discovered that a large amount of light blue liquid appeared in the cabin, and began to drown the panicked Old Man Wei inside at an extremely fast speed.
Wei Xiang was anxious, "Lu Xuan, what's going on? My dad is drowning! He can't swim!"
Li Tie and Ge Yuan were also shocked, thinking something had gone wrong.
Lu Xuan said: "Don't worry, the medical fluid will not affect his breathing, and it can also disinfect, anesthetize and relieve pain."
Lu Xuan did not turn on the soundproofing function of the medical cabin. Old Man Wei also heard what he said. His panicked expression was barely calmed down. He finally relaxed completely after his entire face was submerged but he no longer felt suffocated.
The people outside also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Li Tie asked curiously, "Can my legs be healed just by lying in there?"
Lu Xuan said: "Specialized liquid medicine has been mixed into the medical fluid, which will provide targeted penetration therapy."
He checked the time and said, "The treatment will take a quarter of an hour. I'll be cured once the time is up."
A quarter of an hour is not a long time, but for the nervous Wei Xiang couple, it felt like a year.
After finally getting to the time, Wei Xiang once again made way for Old Man Wei to take a shower and get dressed.
When Old Man Wei appeared in front of everyone again, his leg, which had been lame for many years, had fully recovered.
Seeing Old Man Wei walking back and forth in the room with his head held high and chest puffed out, Wei Xiang's eyes instantly turned red.
Old Man Wei also had red eyes and kept thanking Lu Xuan.
Li Tie said with relief: "Good, good, good. From now on, Old Wei's legs will be fine, and he can do the housework. Wei Xiang can also relax."
Father Wei nodded vigorously and looked at Wei Xiang with some guilt, "My daughter has suffered so much over the years. Now that you have me here, you won't have to suffer alone."
He was clearly the pillar of the family, but because he became lame in an accident, the burden of supporting the family fell on Wei Xiang.
Thinking of Wei Xiang's hard work over the years, Old Man Wei felt very distressed.
Wei Xiang shook his head and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? We are a family, there is no need to talk about whether it is hard or not."
She really didn't feel tired at all.
Daddy never looked down on her for being just a girl, and her husband was also good to her. Now that Daddy's leg is healed, she is filled with only gratitude and joy.
After the Wei family members calmed down, Li Tie urged Ge Yuan, "You should also go in and lie down quickly to heal the wound on your face."
Ge Yuan felt a little awkward for once, and said stiffly, "My scar doesn't affect my life, so I don't need to treat it."
Li Tiehu said sullenly, "Why not? You haven't been able to find a wife yet because of the scar on your face. It's scary. Hurry up and get it healed so you can marry a wife and have children. Do you still want to live alone for the rest of your life?"
Old Master Zhang patted Ge Yuan's back vigorously and said, "People outside are sick and in pain, but there is no treatment. Why are you being so pretentious? Go in quickly and stop dawdling."
Ge Yuan didn't really want to be treated, so he lay down in reluctantly and became the second user of the medical cabin.
Ge Yuan's treatment process was much shorter than that of Old Man Wei. After changing the corresponding medicine, only ten minutes passed and the scar that almost ran through half of his face was repaired visibly.
As Ge Yuan gradually returned to his original appearance, the expressions of the people waiting outside became increasingly strange.
When Ge Yuan stood in front of everyone with his burly body and delicate fair face, everyone was stunned.
A moment later.
"puff--"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
As the first sound of failure was heard, several bursts of laughter were heard in the room.
Ge Yuan's expression was also very interesting when he saw his new image in the mirror. He said a little angrily: "I said I can't be cured."
Lu Xuan had not used any therapeutic device or special scar removal cream to treat Ge Yuan before because Ge Yuan's injuries were too deep and neither of these could repair them perfectly.
The medical cabin did not have these problems and was even repaired too perfectly.
Not only did the scars disappear, but the skin all over the body became smooth and tender, as if I had undergone a deep beauty treatment, and even the pores were invisible.
He's just like a gigolo, how can he go out and meet people?
The audience in the live broadcast room also burst into laughter.
[Oh my god, the tough guy turns into a pretty boy in a second! That’s amazing, hahahaha——]
[I feel like I've changed my head, I look like a Barbie doll, haha.]
How many people want this fair and tender skin, yet Ge Yuan still despises it? He really doesn't know how to cherish it!
[That's right! Didn't you see how bright Wei Xiang and Lu Qing's eyes were?]
Lu Xuan didn't expect that the medical cabin repair fluid would be so effective, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
Li Tie laughed so hard that tears came out. He bent over and patted Ge Yuan's shoulder with difficulty to comfort him: "Go out for more runs, work more, and get some sun. Your skin will definitely become rough again soon, haha."
Ge Yuan: "..."
Everyone laughed for a long time before they recovered.
Although Ge Yuan felt complicated about the treatment, his scars were gone and he felt relaxed overall.
Treatment in the medical cabin is not free, and both the energy consumption and the medicine used are not cheap.
Old Man Wei spent 100 kilograms of mutant food to heal his leg, while Ge Yuan spent 50 kilograms.
After paying the bill, the group admired the powerful medical cabin for a while before leaving the Lu family.
After everyone left, Lu Qing couldn't wait to ask Lu Xuan if she could go in and lie down too, so that she could look more beautiful.
Lu Xuan said: "Okay, if you want beauty treatments, there are special beauty serums. I'll get you some and you can use them as you see fit."
Lu Qing smiled with satisfaction, then continued, "Other women in the village will surely come over after seeing Uncle Ge's condition. Can they use the medical cabin as well?"
Lu Xuan said: "I'll give you some more beauty serum, you can arrange it yourself."
It was not appropriate for him to be present while the women were using the medical bay.
Lu Qing nodded in understanding, "Okay, leave it to me."
·
Huo family army camp.
Lu Xuan and Huo Tiankuo walked into a large tent together. The people inside had been cleared out in advance.
Lu Xuan stepped forward, and two rows of flat earthen kangs instantly appeared on both sides of the empty tent.
Previously, the earthen kangs in the wounded soldiers' camp were just solid kangs that could isolate them from ice and snow. This time, Lu Xuan built a Northeastern-style earthen kang with a kang channel that could be heated.
Some water element was mixed into the earth element ability to ensure its sturdiness, and the smoke exhaust vent was placed towards the back door of the tent.
Because the tent is large and the earthen kang is also large, five stoves are left on both sides.
Lu Xuan condensed ten fireballs and shot them into the stove one by one. In just a moment, the chilly tent became warmer and warmer.
Huo Tiankuo reached out and touched the earthen kang, and found that it was even a little hot.
Lu Xuan's miraculous operation almost completely dispelled his doubts about immortals and magic.
If this is not considered a magic technique, then there is probably no real magic technique in this world.
After confirming that the quality of the earthen kang was fine, Lu Xuan continued to move towards the next tent.
Not long after walking, we heard cheers from the victims in the first tent.
Afterwards, Lu Xuan used the same method to add earthen kangs in all the tents.
With these earthen kangs, as long as the victims make an effort to collect more firewood, even those without biological clothing do not have to worry about freezing to death while sleeping.
Of course, Lu Xuan is not a person who works for free. He will charge Huo Tiankuo a processing fee of ten kilograms for each earthen kang he builds in a tent.
After all one hundred tents were set up, Huo Tiankuo's debt increased by another thousand pounds.
Huo Tiankuo didn't care.
We already owe more than 2 million kilograms, are we still short of this 1,000 kilograms?
After working for an hour, the earthen kang was completed, and the next step was to build the greenhouse.
The ground on the mountain was not flat enough and there were many trees, so it was not suitable for building a greenhouse. The fields were located in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain.
The plain stretches as far as the eye can see, so you can open up as much land as you want.
After Lu Xuan took out the greenhouse materials, the disaster victims, who had eaten and drunk their fill, began to work enthusiastically.
A total of one thousand acres of land were planned to be divided into one thousand separate greenhouses.
With a certain population, it didn't take long for the first batch of greenhouses covering 100 acres to be built on the empty wilderness.
After that, he spent some time shoveling away the snow that had accumulated more than half a meter inside. Lu Xuan placed dozens of air conditioners that he had bought in advance around the greenhouse, added energy stones, and started them up.
Soon the temperature in the greenhouse reached a level that was more comfortable than the tent, even a little hot.
The land has been frozen for more than half a month. A higher air conditioning temperature can speed up the thawing of the soil.
But even if it's quick, I'll probably have to wait two or three days.
During this period, the Huo family army can make other preliminary preparations.
The subsequent steps are basically the same as the previous ones.
Batches of greenhouses were built, and Lu Xuan was only responsible for filling them with the matching air conditioners.
Although the plant protection machine, nutrient solution and herbicide have not been taken out yet, Lu Xuan has already bought the required quantities.
After such a huge expenditure, his points balance shrank by two-thirds, leaving only 70 million.
He had spent 100 million in the previous six months, but this time he spent 100 million in one day. Even Lu Xuan was trembling in his heart.
However, thinking that he would spend 100 million today and earn back 500 million in more than two months, Lu Xuan's heart calmed down again.
The point you earn is to be spent, right? Five times the profit is not low, there is nothing to feel bad about.
Because he still had to guide the farming later and wait for the frozen soil to thaw for two days, Lu Xuan stayed in the territory of the Huo family army.
I go hunting with them during the day, and draw blind boxes and prizes for the audience at night.
Three days later, the soil in the greenhouse had thawed to the point where it could be cultivated.
Lu Xuan, the Huo family army, and many enthusiastic victims came to the greenhouse again.
Lu Xuan waved his hand casually, and a large number of engineering shovels shining with cold light fell to the ground with a clang.
