I woke up naturally at 10 o'clock in the morning.
After washing up and having breakfast, I continued to look through the "Compendium of Chinese Herbal Medicine", but I couldn't find any match between the two herbs I brought back from Dongqiao Mountain.
Damn, how mysterious is this medicine?
Unwilling to give up, she continued to look through the pharmaceutical resources she downloaded before the disaster, and almost became EMO.
Forget it, let’s just grow it first. One day its true colors will be revealed.
There are only two plants, so Jiang Ning attaches great importance to them and plants them carefully in the black soil garden.
There are also hundreds of kinds of herbs collected from Jinshi Mountain, which are planted in different categories and then recorded in a notebook according to their medicinal properties.
Although there are many herbs, not all of them can cure diseases in the right season or situation.
Jiang Ning listed the common diseases in life, then prescribed the right medicine and checked for any omissions.
You don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked to find that the difference is not just a little bit.
She made a list of the medicines that she didn't have on hand, thinking that she would go out and look for them when she had the chance in the future.
Huo Yishen did not show up until dinner time. He came down from upstairs. "Those people were not targeting the crops, but investigating Aoyuan."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
How many people are there on the other side? Are they refugees, evil people, or evil forces? It is not a problem for her and Huo Yishen to leave.
It's okay to lend a hand occasionally within your ability.
If it is a large-scale conflict, or the other party is here to destroy us completely, we still have hot weapons in our hands.
There was no way she could rush forward to block the bullet hole.
"Did He Tianming ask you to participate?"
“I did ask for advice, but I was not asked to participate.”
This made Jiang Ning feel a little more comfortable. If it really came to a life-and-death situation, he would definitely lend a hand if he could, but he couldn't subconsciously rely on the two of them when something happened.
Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty, and what we fear most is moral kidnapping.
Dependence is a habit, and if He Tianming asked for it as a matter of course, Jiang Ning would never agree, and might even move away directly.
In fact, what the two of them didn’t know was that there was actually a member who asked He Tianming to call the people from Building 5 over to discuss the matter.
He Tianming also thought about it, but he still said rationally: "With Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning's abilities, they are not afraid of not having a place to stay. They are just passers-by in Aoyuan.
Besides, they have been helpful enough. Last time when the mobs attacked Aoyuan, it was thanks to them that we turned the tide. Otherwise, if the police and the military had arrived, there would have been only a few of us left.
No one owes us salt, seeds, tools, etc.
I know you are afraid in your hearts and hope that someone will come out to protect you, but they are human beings, not gods, and they have no obligation to protect us. We have to rely on ourselves.
If we rely on others for everything, and one day they leave, we will have no need to live, right?
Everyone listen to me, no one is allowed to go find them, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you, if something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Everyone had mixed feelings. One child raised his hand and said, "Uncle He, aren't Uncle Huo and Sister Ning heroes? Aren't heroes supposed to fight bad guys and protect humanity? And they are very powerful. All they have to do is move their fingers."
He Tianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, they are just like us. They cry, shed tears, and are afraid of pain. They just don't let us see it."
It is a subconscious behavior for the weak to seek protection from the strong.
Even though what He Tianming said made sense, they still hoped that the two of them would stand up.
But he also knew in his heart that He Tianming had a long-term vision and was more reliable in judging people and doing things than himself, so he naturally had his reasons.
Why is it so difficult to live?
After that, He Tianming continued to arrange the work, "Divide into four groups. If someone comes with bad intentions, we have to fight with all our strength, except for the elderly and children."
…
Jiang Ning did not ask about Aoyuan's affairs openly, but he still paid attention to it privately.
When she went downstairs to get water, even though the fellow villagers still smiled and greeted her when they saw her, they could still notice a slight difference.
But they said nothing, and the old man fetching water continued as usual.
On the way back, I happened to meet Yang Weimin who was leading a patrol. "Jiang Ning, the Agricultural Science Institute is distributing seeds. Are you going to get them yourself, or in the name of the community? If you go in the community, you need to register with your ID card."
"I have to go out in the next two days, so I'll pick it up on the way."
Yang Weimin nodded, "Okay, remember to pick it up in time, I'm afraid it won't be distributed in time."
At night, Huo Yishen came out of the study and said, "There are a lot of people outside. They might take action tonight."
There is no night during the polar day, but most people’s biological clocks are still on, and they tend to feel sleepy at that time, so it is indeed a good time to take action.
Jiang Ning went back to the house to sleep and asked the dog to watch over the terrace.
Around three in the morning, she was woken up by the dog. "Woof!"
When I opened the curtains, it was already a mess outside.
A steady stream of people, armed with weapons, kept approaching Aoyuan.
She quickly took the binoculars and saw that the people who had gathered around were men, women, old and young, all in tattered clothes, with numb and greedy expressions.
It was not difficult to tell from their dishevelled hair and dirty clothes that they were first refugees and later became evil people. There were probably more than 300 of them.
It would be strange if there was no one behind the scenes pushing so many evil people together.
Moreover, they obviously knew that Aoyuan had gasoline and sprayers, so they were not reckless enough to rush in, but adopted a strategy of surrounding but not attacking.
That’s right, just keep them from a distance.
Jiang Ning was almost pissed off. "What do they want to do?"
Huo Yishen analyzed rationally, "Just wait for the people from Aoyuan to fall into the trap."
If the members rush out, if there are few of them, they can surround and kill them, if there are many of them, they will disperse; if the members do not go out, they will steal the crops.
Jiang Ning was speechless. Isn't this just like a monkey that came down the mountain to steal corn? It runs away when chased away, and then runs back again. It will eventually tire people out if it keeps repeating this process.
