At the beginning of May next year, when the harvest is approaching, it will be the happiest and most anticipated time of the year for the people.
Accidents happen suddenly!
When locusts pass through, no grass grows.
Everywhere I looked, there was nothing but bare ground.
In an era when production was already low, this disaster resulted in a complete loss of everything.
This year was destined to make the people hungry and the social environment unstable.
Instability comes from natural disasters, man-made disasters, and also from wild animals.
The Zhao family died at the hands of wild animals.
Humans can't even afford to chew on tree roots, and the situation for animals is not much better.
Since they cannot find food in nature, they will naturally turn their attention to humans.
On a windy night, there were continuous knocks on the Zhao family's door.
The Zhao family, whose sweet dream was disturbed, opened the door with resentment.
The moment the door opened, it was the beginning of the end for their family.
Screams rang out in the night sky, and by the time the neighbors realized what had happened, their family members had already entered the stomach of the big beast (tiger).
Perhaps because there were too many people, or perhaps because the tiger was full, the villagers who came later survived safely.
The tiger looked at the crowd with contempt and left the village with a vigorous stride.
In the days that followed, every household built additional protective measures, fearing that the tiger would return one day.
But until the disaster ended and people started a new chapter, the tiger never appeared again.
If the entire Zhao family had not disappeared, people would have suspected that the tiger coming down the mountain was just a dream.
Now the first family in the east has become their own family. Even if the big tiger comes down the mountain, the unlucky family will become their own family. This is why Lin Shijie is gloating.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyu no longer felt sleepy at all.
It's not just because of the big insect, but more because of the natural disaster next year.
The overall environment is not good, and the best outcome is to be able to protect your own family, but do you have the ability to do so?
Lin Shiyu didn't know, she didn't have much confidence.
In modern society, whenever there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, the country will come out to provide a guarantee at the first time, so she really has nothing to worry about. But it’s not the same here!
The scenes described in the novel alone are shocking, but it is hard to say what the situation will be like when you actually face it.
She was thinking about how to live a good life in the coming year.
The idea of making the best of things is false; the real idea is to prepare for a rainy day.
afternoon.
After a good sleep, the three people from the third room did not go out to pick herbs.
According to Mrs. Liu, they should wait until Lin Anru goes to the county town and is sure that the goods can be sold for money, so as to avoid working in vain.
After announcing that they would not go to dig herbs, the person who appeared happiest was Lin Boyu.
After all, he is just a child, and playing is his favorite thing.
"Since we're not going to pick herbs, let's go to our new home and tidy up the yard together!" Lin Anru suggested after hearing his wife and children's decision.
"Don't you still have to copy books? Where do you find the time?" Liu asked in confusion.
"I'll move the table over there to copy, and you guys will be responsible for cleaning the yard, is that okay?" Lin Anru asked.
No one had lived in the new house for too long, and he was worried about letting his wife and children go there alone. However, he had not finished his own work and could not spare the time to sort it out, so he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
Lin Shiyu: “Sure!”
Lin Boyu: “No problem!”
When Lin Boyu heard that his biological father was also going there, he was no longer afraid and answered firmly and loudly.
Liu smiled and patted the two little guys' heads: "Then let's go!"
"Let's go!"
…
They said they were cleaning the yard together, but actually only Liu was doing the work, and Lin Boyu was only half of it.
As for Lin Shiyu, she is not even half a person.
Liu and Lin Boyu weeded the weeds in the yard, and she followed behind and gathered them into piles, letting them dry and burn as firewood.
She was doing well at the beginning, but at some point she stopped moving her hands and remained there without moving.
"What are you picking?"
Liu came to her side at some point and asked as she watched her separate the weeds in small handfuls.
"Mom!" Lin Shiyu first looked up at Liu, then continued to sort: "These are also herbs. I picked them out because I thought they were useful."
"Mom, I'll divide it up quickly!" Lin Shiyu thought that Liu was here to urge her to work, so she couldn't help but add a sentence.
"It's okay, just take your time to play... and pick them up." Liu comforted.
I didn't expect my daughter to work in the first place. It would be best if she could find fun and play by herself.
Lin Shiyu nodded, not knowing whether she heard what Liu said.
Liu shook her head helplessly and continued to weed.
The group did not stop until sunset.
After working for half a day, they only cleaned up one-third of the yard.
"Go back! Come back tomorrow."
Lin Anru packed up his things and called his wife and children, who were already exhausted, to go home.
In the lobby of the Lin family's old house, everyone was already sitting around the table waiting for dinner.
As soon as the third room's group walked in, they attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the people from the second house looked at them, and the fire in their eyes could not be hidden.
Lin Anru calmly took his wife and children to sit down as if nothing had happened, which made Lin Anxiang and his wife from the second wife so angry that they couldn't even hold their chopsticks.
Liu robbed their food and injured Zhang. How could Zhang tolerate such a loss?
She wanted to wait for her husband to come back and help her get back at him. This has always been her style and way of doing things.
But this previously disadvantageous method can no longer be carried out today.
She didn't know what conditions she agreed to from Liu in her daze at that time. Anyway, after her husband came back, the whole village was saying that she was magnanimous and that her husband was a good man.
He also described in detail what happened in the yard at noon.
As the person involved, Zhang had to rely on the gossips in the village to find out the whole story.
Thinking of this, her desire to kill Liu became even stronger.
If looks could kill, the people in the third room would have been killed by her countless times.
Unfortunately, looks can't kill, so no matter how angry Zhang and Lin Anxiang were, in the end, nothing happened except scaring Lin Boyu, whose courage was not strong enough.
Under the watchful eyes of the second wife, the third wife ate and drank her fill, patted her butt and left.
This made Lin Anji very envious.
When will he be as brave as his third brother?
Lin Anji looked up and glanced at his second brother, and he began to feel a little restless.
