On the night of July 3, Zhang Yi and his party slept in the wild and lit several bonfires.
Bandits often appear in the wasteland. Niu Ben, Xiao Han and Shi Gandang take turns to be responsible for the night watch.
In fact, there is no need to worry at all. As soon as the bandits saw the tiger-headed flag standing next to the bonfire, they ran away faster than rabbits.
There was not much chatting that night. Everyone was always in a state of high tension when they were in Mopan City. After leaving, they felt completely relaxed and felt tired, so they went to bed early.
In the early morning of the next day, the weather looked very good, and a blue sky appeared among the dark clouds. People were accustomed to living in a dark world, and had long ignored the pungent smell in the air. In Zhangyi, it smelled , is a light metallic smell.
This group of people who were born in the wasteland world have never seen a blue sky and white clouds. Seeing a small patch of blue sky among the dark clouds, people looked up curiously. Xiaolong said that people in the past lived in a different world. In the world, at that time the sky was blue, the water was clear, and people thousands of miles away could hold a small box and talk.
People started talking in surprise. Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly and smiled without saying a word.
"Brother Yi, are you right what Brother Xiaolong said?" Anu asked.
"Yes," Zhang Yi opened his mouth, and everyone gathered around to listen. "69 years ago, the sky and the earth were exactly as Xiaolong said. They were clear and clear at first glance. People's development of industry caused environmental pollution, but there were still blue skies and white clouds. A thousand times stronger than now..."
Zhang Yi spoke for more than an hour, describing the world before the nuclear explosion. Everyone was stunned and thought he had read it in a book.
"Sooner or later, the world will change back to what it was before. What I'm afraid of is that it will be destroyed again." Zhang Yi stopped talking. The last sentence was the focus of his consideration.
…
Near noon, the group arrived at Baisong Ridge.
Along the path around the mountain, we arrived at the dojo of the Longmen Sect. The courtyard was clean, the vegetables in the vegetable field were growing vigorously, but there was no one in sight.
Xiao Han let out a long whistle, and saw several people emerging from behind nearby stones and trees, letting out excited cheers.
"Taoist Master Xiaolong is back, Brother Xiao is back!"
It turned out that the black tiger-head flag stuck on the carriage frightened people and hid early. Niu Ben pulled out the flagpole and threw it to the ground, then stepped on it several times with his feet.
"Brother Yi is here, Brother Niu is here!"
"Hello Uncle Zhang, hello Anu, and hello Yue Ya'er!"
More people left the hiding place and ran over happily, shouting greetings. Although their clothes were shabby, everyone was in good spirits. Compared with the depressed appearance before they came, there was a huge difference.
Zhang Yi laughed happily and shook hands with everyone. This was the happiest group of people he had seen since coming to the wasteland world.
Once slaves, later settlers, and now members of the common people. In a short period of time, this group of people has experienced tremendous changes, becoming better and better.
Human plasticity is extremely strong, especially those who have struggled in hell. From having nothing to having freedom and land, friendship and respect, I have never even dreamed of it. Everyone cherishes it incomparably and bursts out with unprecedented wisdom. of vitality.
"Thanks to listening to my sworn brother, we have the good life we have today!"
"Sister-in-law is our reborn parent!"
"Thank you Taoist Master Xiaolong for providing us with this treasure land, and thank you Brother Xiao for teaching us the fighting skills!"
People expressed their gratitude with words and words, and the scene was heart-warming.
Niu Ben burst out laughing. He had always thought that the people in Mopan City were dumb and stupid, and could not speak like him, so they did not know how to thank his sworn brother for his efforts. Now he was relieved and very moved, so he shouted.
"It's good to know that your good life was bought by my sworn brother with his life. As well as Taoist Priest Xiaolong and Brother Xiao, you must remember their benefits for the rest of your life."
"We all remember it, Brother Niu."
"Uncle Zhang also works hard to cook for us every day."
"Anu, Yue Ya'er, are there any girls in your women's team who want to live in this treasured land?"
Suddenly someone said such a sentence, which made everyone laugh.
Marriage is also an important issue. Only by starting a family can you build a career. Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, letting the men farm with peace of mind. With the land and food available, only when the girl marries can she live a good life, and the children in the future will also have better conditions to learn skills. .
People imagine the future and have countless good wishes.
…
Brother Zhang Yi went to visit the cave where people lived. It is located halfway up the back hill. There is only a narrow path leading to the entrance of the cave. It is highly concealed and is conducive to defense.
The current world is in chaos and we cannot take it lightly. Zhang Yi proposed to build fortifications. Shi Gandang was experienced in this regard. He asked people to pile up rolling logs and rocks inside and outside the cave entrance, and trained a group of archers so that it would be difficult for the enemy to approach.
Entering the cave, the temperature is very suitable, warm in winter and cool in summer. The interior space is quite spacious, and can be separated by stone walls to house each household. Food after the harvest can be stored inside, and even cattle, sheep, and pigs can be stored inside at night. You can pull it into the hole without worrying about being stolen.
Outside the cave, terraced fields are being cultivated. Xiaolong has also planned an orchard and a vegetable field, but watering is laborious and requires carrying water from the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Yi walked to the spring at the foot of the mountain, measured the height to the terraces, and proposed a solution. That was to dig a reservoir at the foot of the mountain, build several water trucks, and lift the spring water up the mountain step by step, solving the problem of domestic water use in one fell swoop. and irrigation issues.
People were amazed, this was really a genius idea.
Zhang Yi shook his head and smiled. In fact, people used this technology in ancient times, but people nowadays have forgotten it. He will think hard about many similar technologies. As long as he puts forward ideas, people can work together to solve technical problems. .
For example, the manufacturing of waterwheels was not a problem for Xiao Han, who understood mechanical principles, but he did not expect this kind of application. Xiao Han accepted the task of designing waterwheels.
This is the importance of team and talent.
Zhang Yi has a deep understanding that as long as he makes a good start and creates a good living space for people, people's talents and potential can be stimulated and they can embark on a healthy development path.
But he is clear-headed and knows that it is not difficult to build a paradise, but it is difficult to transform a complex small society like Mopan City.
It was getting late, so we only focused on visiting and discussing until the afternoon.
People worked together to make a sumptuous lunch in the public canteen. Mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, pheasants and rabbits from the mountains, plus fresh vegetables from the vegetable field, were carefully cooked and placed on a stone table.
Zhang Yi told people that only this time, in the common people's homes, everyone would eat and drink the same.
He also joked that when he met a fat guy like Shi Gandang with a big appetite, as long as there was no shortage of food, he would be sure to have enough to eat. Although he could feed three people by himself, his contribution was more than just three people.
