Rebirth in the End Times Bringing the Whole Village to Farm

Chapter 170 168. Gao Zhuang
In the end, they followed the little boy to the direction he pointed, and Yun Qi was chatting with him along the way, while also inquiring about the situation here.

It turns out that they are a poor county here. Before the highway was built, every time their village went to the county town, they had to walk for half a day. Even though the traffic improved a little later, they still supported themselves in the village every day. self-sufficient.

Yunqi and the others were the first to arrive at their village since the catastrophe.

They are called Gaozhuang here, and there are only seven or eight families in total. Since the catastrophe, they also went to the county to ask for help, but found that it was the same everywhere, and the county was not very peaceful, so they simply returned to the village. Figure out your own way.

It may be because they are poor and well-known in this neighborhood, so no one came to their door. Coupled with the subsequent freezing weather, they gradually gave up the idea of ​​going out.

The little boy's name is Gao Baiyun. He should be in junior high school now, but because of this damn disaster, he can only help the family manage a few cattle every day.

Yes, they have been farming cattle for generations in Gaozhuang, but later because of the popularization of mechanization, people gradually no longer need cattle. Although they have reduced farming in the village now, every household still has to raise cattle. Go up a few heads.It is also because of their special affection for cattle that they can continue to feed them under difficult circumstances.

Especially when Yun Qi found out that there were dozens of cows in the village, his whole heart was beating faster. This kind of cattle will be a necessity in the future. In addition to farming, it can also pull cattle. Heavy things, but it is more cost-effective than raising horses.

She wanted to ask Gao Baiyun if the cattle in his village were sold?But he didn't know how much he would have to pay to get back a cow. It's better to discuss these things with his parents.

"Master, there are guests here." Gao Baiyun shouted to the ground, and soon a person stood up straight and looked this way.

"Yun, who's here?" Grandpa Gao came over one day from the field.

Si Cheng and the others hurried forward a few steps, "Hello! We are passing by and want to come to the village to find some water."

"Didn't the county send someone here?" The old man was obviously disappointed.

When Si Cheng and Yun Qi heard this, they didn't know how to tell the old man in front of them that they would have to survive on their own for a long time to come.

"No one has been here before, and I don't know if we have been forgotten." Grandpa Gao was a little helpless and disappointed, he had nothing to do with staying here all his life.But the younger generation will always go out, or with Gaozhuang's current situation, it is unknown whether he can survive in the future.

Although a little disappointed, Grandpa Gao politely took them home.

Knowing that they were looking for water, they pointed to the canal not far away on the road, "That's the drinking water in our village, but I don't know why, the water has been getting less and less during this time."

The simple old man also asked his grandson to prepare meals for the guests, "It is fate to find this place, and let my daughter-in-law come back later to cook some special dishes for you."

Yun Qi quickly pulled Gao Baiyun back: "Uncle, don't bother, we have to continue on our way, besides, there are people from our village waiting at the highway, so we can't delay for too long."

"Then call all the people from your village over. Seeing that it's getting late, why don't you rest here for the night and continue on your way tomorrow."

It's been a long time since Si Cheng and the others saw such a straightforward person.

"Uncle, there are a lot of people here, more than 1000 people. It's because we didn't find a water source on the road, so we came here to look for it. Wait a minute, we can go back and bring some people to fetch water, okay? Dare to trouble you again."

"There are so many people! So where are you going this way? The current road is not easy."

Yun Qi told the old man in front of him the purpose of his group.

"That place is not far from here. If it used to take two or three hours to get there." Grandpa Gao's opening made Yunqi and the others foolish. According to the marks on the previous map, it would take more time. How many days will we go?
"Uncle, we are mainly going to S Province to exchange salt this time, and their famous Yancheng is still a few days away."

"It's not wrong. When I was young, I also went there to work. The salt well is in the county next door. As for the Yancheng you mentioned, it is a city under their jurisdiction. The trade is over there, but the salt production is next door. For example, the salt we use here basically goes directly to the salt well for wholesale.”

Si Cheng and the others wanted to hit themselves at this moment, why didn't they think of it?The salt well will definitely not be built in the city, and I was almost misled by the name in the book. If it hadn't been for Gaozhuang, the group of people might have missed their destination directly, and they would have to take a lot of wrong roads. Thank you Grandpa Gao.

"Brother Cheng, let's go tell them to come and fetch water first, and then continue on our way tomorrow."

Yun Qi originally wanted to stay here, looking for an opportunity to fill the space with some water, but Si Cheng was not at ease leaving him alone.

When they brought people to fetch water, they found that there were more than 20 people in the village waiting for them. It may be that no strangers have arrived here for too long, so they always seem to have endless questions.Sicheng and the others also told them about the situation outside, and even vaguely reminded that there is a drought everywhere now, and told them to prepare in advance.

When I came to the water intake point in their village, I realized that the original stream was like a small ditch.

While everyone was washing and fetching water, Yun Qi found Grandpa Gao again, and their son and daughter-in-law were also at home.

After an introduction, it turned out that the couple also worked in the south before the catastrophe.Later, he returned to his hometown because of the disaster warning, and now the family relies on the harvest in the fields to survive.

"Uncle, I see that there are so many farm cattle in our village. I wonder if we can exchange a few of them with you? Don't worry, as long as you bring it up, if we can do it, we will definitely exchange it with you."

Grandfather Gao's son, Gao Shitou, glanced at his family, and then faltered and said his plan.

"We still have five cattle in our family, and one of them is still pregnant with a calf. I don't know if we can trade the cattle for a piece of land with you." Speaking of this, Yun Qi looked at him with puzzled eyes. Looking at myself, I realized that I didn't understand what I said, "We thought about keeping two cattle, and the other cattle will be treated the same as your village, because our side is getting more and more difficult now. The crops are exhausted, and the crops cannot be grown. We have to find another way. Now that there are so many people here, the most important thing is that the atmosphere you get along with is very comfortable, so we want to see if we can move to your place. .”
