Ye Fu and Wan Tao discussed the cave expansion plan. This cave should be naturally formed and the geology is hard. There is no risk of collapse even if it is expanded.
"If it is expanded inside, the entire area outside will be used to grow vegetables and pumpkins. I took a look and found that the house you built can be moved and placed directly into the expanded cave."
Ye Fu nodded, "My idea is also to dig small holes. If it is a large-scale expansion, it will easily collapse. If it is to dig small holes, this problem will be easy to solve, but the project will be heavier."
Ye Fu tried it and found that the soil inside the cave was very hard and it was not easy to dig.
"You told me before that changes occurred after the cold air arrived, and animals and plants grew faster. In about two months, the pumpkins and corns planted will probably mature."
"Well, I made an estimate and the time is about the same."
Wan Tao suddenly sighed, "It's really not easy. One calamity is followed by another. If it weren't for you and Jiang Run, everyone might not have survived."
"The most important thing is for everyone to unite as one. As long as we unite, any difficulty will pass."
"Yes, you can't give up on yourself."

The pumpkin seeds sown before have sprouted. When the seedlings grow to about ten centimeters, they can be transplanted into the ground. With the participation of Tang Yizheng and Qi Yuan, the vegetable field has become small in size. Jiang Run built a fence outside.
Different species are grown in different areas.
Wenwen and Xuxu were assigned tasks by Ye Fu. The vegetable plot and chicken coop were under their control. They had to clean the chicken coop every day, feed the chickens, and check the survival rate of vegetable seedlings and pumpkin seedlings. Once dead seedlings were found, they would
Plant new ones immediately.
After Wan Tao woke up, there was no movement from the others. Qi Yuan went to Datong Shop to check countless times every day. Seeing his disappointed look made everyone feel bad.
"This Liu Zhang has always been in better health than me. He hasn't been sick much in the past few years. How could he be in coma for such a long time?" As a friend and partner for decades, Wan Tao was worried if Liu Zhang didn't wake up.
"Yes, the stronger and healthier the person, the longer the coma lasts." Officer Song also felt strange.
In order to quickly wake up others, Wan Tao did a lot of experiments and taught Wenwen and Xuxu to sing. He asked them to go to Datongpu to sing for half an hour every day, morning, noon and evening.
Every night before going to bed, he would also read a prayer to others. When people are helpless, they will place their hope on gods and Buddhas, trying to exchange sincerity for grace.
Ye Fu saw many words "peace" carved with tree branches on the stone walls of the cave.
Time passes day by day, and in the blink of an eye, one and a half months have passed since the first wave of cold air arrived.
The survival rate of the pumpkin seedlings planted is very high, and there are about 100 pumpkin seedlings.
That night, after Ye Fu had just imagined the scene of a hundred pumpkins bearing fruit, a sound of retching came from Datong Shop, which startled Ye Fu.
"Is someone awake?" Tang Yizheng and Wan Tao were still living in Datongpu. After a while, Ye Fu heard the panicked voices of the two.
"Ye Fu, Jiang Run, they all vomited blood."
Ye Fu and Jiang Run looked at each other and quickly got up and went out.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he was taken back two steps by the stench inside. Ye Fu took out a mask. After the two of them put it on, they turned on the flashlight and walked in.
"what happened?"
Seeing Ye Fu and Jiang Run coming over, Wan Tao hurriedly explained the situation.
"Fang Ming reacted initially. He vomited a mouthful of blood. Just as I was going to check on him, Wu Pei next to me started twitching and then had a nosebleed."
Ye Fu looked around and asked, "Are they the only two who reacted?"
Wan Tao nodded, "They were lying next to each other, and they vomited blood more than twenty seconds apart."
Ye Fu used his flashlight to shine on the barrel and found that there were indeed large clots of coagulated blood inside.
"They all have internal injuries. You see, they are all covered in blood clots. Even if the first person to wake up vomits blood, there is no blood clots."
Wan Tao frowned, "The later people wake up, the longer it takes to heal themselves?"
Ye Fu nodded, "If it's possible, prepare warm water for them first."
Ye Fu took out another half of the special medicine and planned to feed it to the two of them. The more the special medicine was used, the less it was. Ye Fu couldn't study this formula, and he didn't know if Qi Yuan could remember it. There wasn't much left now.
Officer Song and others gathered around. Datongpu was already dark inside with people crowded here and the air was not circulating. Ye Fu asked everyone to go out first.
"Fang Ming and Wu Pei should wake up tomorrow."
"Finally woke up." Officer Song breathed a sigh of relief and took Wenwen to boil hot water.
The two of them were still vomiting blood inside, and Ye Fu went in to check again. Wu Pei's face was extremely pale, and there was no blood on his lips. When he was vomiting blood, his whole body was twitching.
Fang Ming's situation was better, and Ye Fu found that the red worms they spit out were larger than others, about the same size as earthworms.
"I'm afraid we need to prepare another insecticide. The red threadworms have been in their bodies for too long and they have begun to grow."
Tang Yizheng glanced at the red worms in the bucket, "It won't enter the brain and internal organs, right? By the way, neither of them has a fever."
Hearing what Tang Yizheng said, Ye Fu suddenly remembered something. Everyone would have splitting headaches before and after the cold air came in. This should be just a reaction to the sudden change in the weather. If nematodes entered the brain, such a big bug would stay in the brain for a day or two.
Months later, people have long since become fools.
"It probably won't enter the brain."
When Qi Yuan outside the door heard these words, he was so scared that he hugged Xuxu tightly in his arms.
"Now that we don't have medical equipment, we can't do a comprehensive examination, so we can only take chances." Ye Fu was also a little uneasy.
Jiang Jun patted her shoulder and comforted her, "They will not enter the brain or internal organs. These nematodes only drink the blood. They rely on the blood to maintain their lives. As long as they spit out the blood, they will die."
.”
After hearing Jiang Run's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the morning, Wu Pei and Fang Ming stopped vomiting blood. They woke up for a few minutes one after another. They were fed water and medicine, and then fell asleep again.
Wu Pei woke up at around 7 p.m. The good news was that although there were blood blisters in his throat, there was no problem with his vision.
"I'm hungry."
He struggled to spit out two words, and Qi Yuan quickly fed him the cooked paste. Seeing the bloodless face, everyone felt lucky.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Fang Ming also woke up. His vision was a little blurry, but the effect was not significant. When he heard that neither Fang Wei nor Fu Jiao woke up, Fang Ming almost fainted again.
"They will all wake up, don't worry."
"That's right, maybe they will wake up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You guys need to take good care of yourself. We will start digging caves in a few days. No one can be lazy." Wan Tao patted Fang Ming on the shoulder and gave him some encouragement.
