Half a month after the disaster, Ye Fu found that the temperature had actually risen.
The base director of Taal City said that the information he received from the other party was that there would be five more years of extreme cold. Could it be that the extreme cold would end early?
Ye Fu measured the temperature every other day, and it rose straight from minus 30 degrees to minus 20 degrees. There are still signs of recovery, but all kinds of abnormalities mean that there will be a greater crisis later. Ye Fu returned to the water room.
I stared at the underground water for a long time.
"What's wrong?" When Officer Song came over, Ye Fu was still cutting ice in the water room.
"The temperature has risen and the extreme cold should be over."
Officer Song looked at the pond, "Are you worried that there will be a severe drought next?"
Ye Fu nodded, "It is very possible that if the temperature rises quickly, there may be a severe drought. When the snow melts and the temperature rises to five degrees above zero, we can make a water cellar and store some water."
"Okay, but building a water cellar requires clay or cement."
"There should be clay in the mountains. I'll go take a look after the snow melts."
Back at the wooden house, Ye Fu took out a notebook and wrote down the temperature changes measured three times today. Severe drought means heat, and it also means no grass growing and no harvest.
There are still a lot of leaves stored up, which can be fed for at least a year and a half, but if there is a severe drought, the mammoths will definitely have to move into the space. Mammoths like cold and are afraid of heat. As long as the temperature exceeds 40, they will get sick, and they may even get sick.
die.
For a long time after that, Ye Fu did not see Tang Yizheng again. As time went by, two months later, the temperature rose to three degrees above zero and the sun came out. Ye Fu directed everyone to remove all the radish and cabbage in the greenhouse.
After entering the cellar, the temperature rose rapidly during this period, and some shadows of tits appeared in the sky.
The mushrooms were gone long ago. During this period, everyone was eating tapioca flour. Officer Song proposed to build a water cellar. Although everyone found it strange, they didn't ask any more questions.
"Owner, now that the temperature is rising, shouldn't we hurry up and plant the next crop of wheat?"
"We won't be planting wheat anymore. Starting tomorrow, the farm will start digging water cellars. Leave half of the people to dig the water cellars, and the other half will plow the land, and then plant some pumpkins and cabbages. One acre will be enough."
Although the temperature has only risen to three degrees, the sun is already a bit scorching, the snow on the mountains has begun to melt, the wind has been strong these days, and everyone is washing clothes and bedsheets.
The next day, everyone was divided into two teams. One team followed Officer Song to dig a water cellar. There were many people on the farm, so the water cellar had to be dug larger, in the shape of a gourd, with a small mouth and a large chassis. It also had to be covered with clay to prevent water storage.
Give way.
When Tang Yizheng came over again, the pumpkin seeds and cabbage that Ye Fu had planted had already been planted in the ground.
He looked at everyone digging a water cellar and was a little confused.
"Don't you have a water pond? Why did you suddenly dig a water cellar?"
Ye Fu didn't answer his question, "Why are you here again?"
Tang Yizheng smiled and his beard trembled twice, making him look a little fierce.
"A few people there planned to leave and find a way to survive elsewhere. The extreme cold suddenly ended, and the farm's wooden houses collapsed. No one wanted to stay here."
Ye Fu was not surprised. Now that the temperature has risen, many people probably thought that the disaster was over.
"They asked me to share the food and cars I brought back from Mingshan."
"Did you break up?"
He nodded, "They each want three hundred catties of grain, and I will give them thirty catties."
"Then they rebelled, and I've been dealing with this for the past few days."
Ye Fu frowned, "It's about disposing of the corpses. Did you kill them all?"
"No, I'm not a murderer. I only dealt with some people who were very open-mouthed." He looked very calm and raised his hand to do some calculations.
"Including the refugees we took in before, there are a total of fifty or sixty people in my place. But now there are only twenty-seven left."
Wan Tao once said that Tang Yizheng killed many people in Taer Base. Ye Fu had always been skeptical about this matter. At this moment, Ye Fu completely believed it.
"It's good. There are fewer people, and the remaining people can get more things." Tang Yizheng was a little helpless, "I didn't let them go, but I didn't expect that they actually conspired to kill me. They all forgot
I have a gun."
He took out a small pistol from his pocket.
"I gave you the medicine you gave me last time, so I gave it to you. This gun is just a thank you gift for those medicines."
Ye Fu was speechless, "Why would you give me an empty gun?"
Tang Yizheng smiled and said, "Master Ye, don't say you have no bullets."
As he spoke, he looked a little more serious, "Are you digging water cellars for fear of a severe drought next?"
"Nip it in the bud. Who knows, maybe spring will bloom and the flowers will bloom, and things will be peaceful from now on."
Tang Yizheng snorted, "Peace? I'm sorry, but are you sure the extreme cold won't happen again?"
Ye Fu said nothing, and Tang Yizheng stood up, "It seems that I have to go back and dig a water cellar."
The first thing Tang Yizheng did when he returned was not to organize people to dig a water cellar, but to call the remaining people over and ask again if anyone wanted to leave. For those who wanted to leave this time, he would share forty kilograms of grain and
Two sets of clothes for them.
A few people are really moved. After all, they have to work here every day. It is better to take advantage of the weather to get warmer and find a way to make a living elsewhere.
In the end, twelve people wanted to leave, and they were all young men. Tang Yizheng looked around and got rid of him, leaving behind two groups of refugees, mostly women and old people.
Food, clothes and shoes were given out. Although some people felt that there was little, no one dared to say anything when faced with the gun in Tang Yizheng's hand. They took the things and left.
Tang Yizheng looked at the people left behind, his expression softened a little.
"No one's leaving?"
"Very good. Now plus me, there are still sixteen people on the farm. Starting tomorrow, we will dig a water cellar."
A female worker couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Tang, don't we have a pond?"
"If the groundwater under the pond dries up, we will all die of thirst. Now that the temperature has warmed up, after ten days of digging, the water cellar should be completed."
"Brother Tang, are you worried that there will be a drought next?"
Tang Yizheng's eyes flashed, "Yes, there will be a drought next."
Everyone who stayed behind looked at each other and began to feel glad that they didn't leave.
On the other side, Ye Fu and Jiang Run were looking for clay in the mountains. Although there was cement in the space, Ye Fu couldn't take it out for everyone to use, so he could only use clay instead.
In the past, when we were in the safe zone, everyone used earthen jars to store village water, but earthen jars couldn't store much water, so it was better to just dig a water cellar.
Although there is a well in Ye Fu's space, she cannot expose it. It is better to let everyone fend for themselves. With the water cellar, Ye Fu can safely add water to it.
"The soil here is reddish-brown and should be viscous."
Hearing Jiang Run's voice, Ye Fu hurried over.
"It's clay. This kind of soil can also be used to make ceramics."
