Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 155 155 Pool, Mineral Salt,
Ye Fu looked at the seeping water, although it was very small and muddy, but she finally grasped the life-saving rope again.

The puddle was dug seven meters deep and five meters wide. After shoveling out the excess soil, everyone climbed out of the puddle.

"When we go back, find some wire and make a barbed wire fence to cover the pool so that no animals can fall in and drown." Officer Song looked at the water with excited eyes.

It's one thing for animals to fall in and foul the water than it is to fear another parasite crisis.

"Let's go back. I think the water will be clear after two days of sedimentation. Although it's a bit far away, it's very convenient to use a tricycle to fetch water. The road up the mountain needs to be repaired." After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he followed Liu Zhang immediately took over the conversation.

"Tomorrow, everyone will come to repair the road and make the road smoother. Now it's all over, there's water, and there's a way to live."

"It's still Ye Fu who is amazing. He knows how to detect groundwater. He is indeed Doctor Ye, a hero among women."

"Jiang Rong is the most powerful. People can hear the sound of underground water flowing. Those ears are better than dog ears."

"Brother Song is the most powerful. He can make explosives. With a bang, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, creating a big hole."

"I think Uncle Liu is still very powerful, with a high vision and a pattern."

……

The news of the water being dug out was sent back to the safe area, and everyone started to tell each other. Some people couldn't wait to fetch water with buckets, while others pushed the battered carts, digging soil everywhere, planning to replant vegetables.

Ye Fu directly planted a vegetable garden in the open space behind the building, and the others followed suit. Each house was ten square meters, and the boundaries were drawn up with rags.

As long as there is open space in the safe zone, everyone has opened up vegetable fields, and some people go to the mountains to dig soil and carry it back to grow wheat.

The most tenacious living beings in the world are human beings. As long as there is one breath left, they will have an indomitable will.

Three days later, the water in the pool had settled completely, and one person from each family went to fetch a bucket of water.

After many people left before, some rooms were vacated. Ye Fu and Jiang Rong moved to a ward on the top floor. Ye Fu looked at this familiar VIP ward and thought of the people who lived here when the parasites broke out. When He Jingwen thought of the He family and the Hu family, a trace of disgust flashed across Ye Fu's eyes.

Ye Fu sprinkled some bamboo seeds and tree seeds beside the pool. The growth cycle of bamboo is very slow, otherwise it can be used to divert water from the mountains back to the safe area, so that people don't need to carry water.

After the water problem is solved, the biggest difficulty right now is the lack of salt.

If people do not consume salt for a long time, not only will they lose their hair and teeth, their hair will be yellow and thin, they will be tired and weak, and they may also die suddenly.

Liu Zhang wandered around the mountains all day recently, looking for mineral salt or soil salt. He borrowed Dou Miao, saying that he wanted Dou Miao to help him find the mineral salt. Ye Fu didn't know if he could find it.

After the rainstorm, the growth speed of plants seems to be faster again. Ye Fu found that the seeds scattered in the vegetable field will sprout green shoots in a day or two, and in about four days, they can grow to seven or eight centimeters.

Ye Fu sprinkled a lot of tree seeds and bamboo seeds in some corners of the safe area.

"Sister Xiaoye, sister Xiaoye, my father and the others brought back two snakes, and he said that he would have an extra meal tonight, and he asked you and brother Jiang Rong to come over for dinner."

Ye Fu was a little surprised, it's only [-] or [-] degrees, did a snake come out?
"They caught it by the pool. The snake wanted to go in to drink water and take a bath. My dad beat it to death with a stick."

"We know, we will pass later."

"Then come quickly, the meat will be gone if you come late."

Ye Fu stroked Wenwen's croissant braid, "Understood, my sister will be there right away."

After Wenwen left, Ye Fu began to struggle. In the past, he couldn't eat empty-handed, so what should he bring?
"You can bring a smoked chicken. When we made it before, they all saw it."

After Jiang Rong's reminder, Ye Fu remembered that there were still many smoked chickens in the space, took out one, and the two went to the house where Officer Song and the others lived.

In fact, it is an operating room downstairs. After the family who lived here before left, they moved in.

When the two arrived, Qi Yuan was chopping snake meat. There was a lot of snake blood in an iron basin next to it. The animal blood contained salt, which was a good thing.

"Do you still have such good things?" Qi Yuan's eyes widened when he saw the smoked chicken in Ye Fu's hand.

"I still have more than a dozen fertilized eggs in my place. After a while, I will incubate chicks and give each of you two after hatching."

Qi Yuan was moved, "Ye Fu, there is nothing I can do for you, I can only carry you a bucket of water to express my gratitude."

Ye Fu smiled, "Yes."

The snake meat was stewed in a large pot, and the smoked chicken was fried in a plate. This is the first time that everyone has dinner together after more than a year.

Jiang Rong didn't seem to like eating snake meat very much, so he put down his chopsticks after eating a little.

"I now feel that this torrential rain is not necessarily a bad thing."

Everyone looked at Qi Yuan, he smiled and continued, "I found a lot of seedlings growing by the pool, I guess everything will recover soon, and some green shoots appeared in some corners of the safe zone. "

Wenwen was very excited, "I saw it too, and I wanted to touch it, but my father wouldn't let me touch it. My father said that it was a small grass or a flower, and I could only pick it when they grew up."

Ye Fu felt a little guilty, she only sprinkled a small packet, and hoped they wouldn't be too disappointed.

"Dad, when they grow up, can we go home?"

Officer Song didn't react for a while, "This is our home."

"No, our family is in Lancheng. When they grow up, can we go back to Lancheng, dad, I miss my mother."

As she said that, Wenwen's tears fell, and she threw herself into Officer Song's arms and cried loudly.

"Dad, when can we go home? I want to go home. I don't like it here."

"When you grow up, we can go home. At that time, will you take me back?"

Wenwen cried until she hiccupped, "But I don't know the way, Dad, I can't find my way home."

"It's okay, Dad remembers the way."

Other people's eyes are also red, who doesn't want to go home?But is it still possible to go back?

After eating, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong went back, and the smell of food came from other rooms.

The next day, Liu Zhang returned with the bean sprouts and some stones on his back. He told everyone that he had found mineral salt on a mountain ten kilometers away.

The so-called mineral salt is the salt extracted from a certain ore. Like other salts, it cannot be eaten directly and needs to be filtered.

Ye Fu took a look, it was indeed mineral salt, but the amount of salt was not large.

"Tomorrow I will take everyone to carry the mineral salt. With the salt, everyone will have strength."
