Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 644 The situation is serious

Han Li walked towards the village committee while talking to Village Chief Zhao, but he kept thinking about this matter in his heart.

Combined with the crop problem that Village Chief Zhao just mentioned, and the fact that there are wild animals on the outskirts of the mountain that venture close to the two lynxes regardless of their territory markings, all these signs indicate that it is likely to be a disaster that people are not aware of, but what is the reason? What caused this situation to occur?

When Han Li was about to enter the village committee, he realized that the most likely cause of this situation was the weather and temperature.

People may not feel anything if the temperature differs by one or two degrees, but plants are different. If there happens to be temperature fluctuations during their flowering and pollination period, it is very likely that there will be a reduction in production or no harvest.

Then the plants in the deep mountains may be in the same situation. There is an old saying: The water in the spring river is warm and the ducks are prophets. Animals' perception and smell of danger are far beyond people's imagination.

Large carnivorous beasts will expand their hunting territories before a crisis comes, so as to ensure that they have more abundant food sources.

Whether it is large beasts that expand their territory, or the food in the mountains is reduced due to weather, either of the above two situations will cause those omnivorous and herbivorous animals to migrate.

Now they can be allowed to venture closer regardless of the two lynx's territory markings, because it will be difficult for them to survive this long winter if they don't grow enough fat on themselves before winter comes.

The beasts don't care whether the villagers' crops are growing well this year. After all, they don't eat all weeds. Even if the crops in front of them are not growing well, they still regard them as delicious food and life-saving food.

They have now appeared on the outskirts of the mountains, so they will probably visit the village's crop fields soon. This is probably the reason why Village Chief Zhao came to find him early in the morning. After all, he is not only good at skills, but also has a gun in his hand. Definitely a main force against beasts.

After Han Li thought about the situation, he told Village Chief Zhao his speculation. After listening, he frowned and fell into deep thought. He was probably thinking about the temperature this year. This situation remained until the two of them arrived. Village committee.

Han Li came in and saw that there were quite a lot of people here today. Except for Captain Liang, who went to the county to inquire about the situation, almost all the members of the Shanghe Village Committee were here.

After Village Chief Zhao waited for Han Li to greet everyone, he gently tapped the table with his pipe and pot and said.

"Han Li just said a very subtle thing about crops. Let's think about how this year's weather is different from previous years."

"What's the weather like?"

"It's just that I don't feel any difference in the weather."

"It's the same as in previous years. It was extremely hot when we were hoeing, and our backs hurt from the sun. The few new educated youths earned one work point a day and then ran away. However, they were unskilled in their hands and feet and worked slowly. After a few days, there were bruises on their arms. A layer of skin was lost in the sun.”

Village Chief Zhao glanced helplessly at the people in the room. None of them were delicate people. If he expected them to go find some older people to ask, he knocked on the table and said.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now let's talk about the traces of wild boars and blind bears found outside."

As soon as Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, people in the room began to discuss it.

The militia captain said: There have been no wild boars wandering around for two years. This time, we must set up some traps and kill a few more to make up for the gap in the previous two years.

The warehouse keeper said: This year's crops are probably in danger. It's best to organize people to go into the mountains for hunting immediately, and to go into the mountains before other villages react. In this way, our village can kill a few more wild boars, and then quickly pull them out. Go to the county to store grain instead. This way, even if this year's crop production is really reduced, combined with the grain stored in last year's granary, our village will at least be better off than other villages, and we will not be in the same situation as in those years.

The women's director said: Neither wild boars nor blind bears are chickens, and going into the mountains is no safer than digging traps in the fields, so you must be careful about this, because you can't explain it to the villagers if there are casualties.

Village Chief Zhao listened to everyone talking about his opinions, knocked on the table and said to Zhang Chaomei.

"Eldest niece, please hurry up and count the current food and money in the village. Based on last year's situation, estimate the approximate amount of food gap our village will have."

"Village Chief, I can't calculate this without this year's income."

After hearing this, Village Chief Zhao frowned and recalled the situation of the crop fields, and finally said through gritted teeth.

"Then let's calculate it as half of last autumn. In short, we have to prepare for the worst."

Village Chief Zhao's words silenced everyone in the house. They stayed in the crop fields every day and knew that what the Village Chief said was not an exaggeration at all. They just thought that this year was bound to be difficult, and their hearts ached with pain.

Village Chief Zhao also felt uncomfortable. It had been more than ten years, and he didn't expect to face such a situation again this year. But as the village chief, he couldn't show his cowardice now. He knocked on the table hard and continued to give instructions. "We will talk about hunting wild boars in the mountains just now. We will broadcast the autumn protection team after work at noon today, and start repairing the horse shacks on the ground in the afternoon. We are not yet sure how much the production will be reduced, so don't be too sure. It's very frustrating, but we must not let those beasts destroy our crops.

After everyone has repaired the horse frame shack, we will select from all the people in the autumn protection team who are willing to go into the mountains to hunt. Those who do not want to take risks in the mountains will stay in the village to lay traps and guard the crops.

"Village chief, what should we do with the educated youth? Will the autumn protection team allow them to participate this time?"

"It would be inappropriate for the educated youth not to allow them to participate, but the conditions for their participation are the same as in previous years. Those who are timid and do not participate will not participate in the distribution if they get something in the end. Of course, those who do not gain in the end will not get extra work points."

Now that the wild boar has appeared on the outskirts of the mountain, we all need to be faster and try to let the people who join the autumn protection team move in tonight. "

After Village Chief Zhao finished explaining, he asked everyone except Han Li to go out. After everyone left, he filled himself a bag of cigarettes and lit them before saying.

"Han Li, although you are now the deputy director of the county hospital, I shouldn't have said these words originally, but the situation in the village may be very bad this year, so I hope you can go hunting in the mountains later. Do your best.”

Han Li had already thought about Village Chief Zhao's request on the way. Whether it was the care he received when he came to Shanghe Village or what Mr. Liu said, he couldn't extrapolate this matter. So Village Chief Zhao just said Wan Han immediately continued.

"Uncle Zhao, you are out of touch when you say this. Since I came to our village, both you and other villagers have been very good to me. It can be said that Shanghe Village is my second home. Now there is something going on at home. Of course I can't just sit back and watch, but whatever your general arrangements are, I can make corresponding preparations in advance."

"Okay, I know you are a good boy. I know you are good at skills, have a gun, and a dog, so you often go into the mountains alone, but this time I hope you can bring a few people with you.

I don’t expect them to help you in hunting, but a person’s power is limited after all. If you catch prey in the mountains, they will be able to help you carry it back, so as not to waste every prey. . "

"Uncle Zhao, this is no problem, but you also know that you may encounter something after entering the mountain. The most taboo thing is disobedience and being ordered to go out too many times, so I think you can find some people for me when you send people. Nosy.”

"I don't care about this. You choose the people who will follow you. Whether they are young men from the village or educated youths, you can choose them as you like. If anyone doesn't want to go, just tell me later."

"Uncle Zhao, aren't you making things difficult for me? There are so many people in the village and it's not appropriate for me to choose or not choose anyone. If I can't catch the prey, I'll make people laugh at most for a while. But if I catch the prey, by then I still have to be talked about to death by those who were not chosen."

Village Chief Zhao laughed angrily when he heard Han Li's scoundrel words, which he didn't want to bear even the slightest complaint.

"Go away, there are many people in the village who can go hunting in the mountains. There are several who are no worse than Ren Liangshan in Zhonghe Village. Don't you think that you are the only one to be sent to pick up the team for such a big matter that affects the food and drink of all the villagers? Going into the mountains?

"what."

"Ah what? If you choose people a little slower, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find a strong boy by then. You should go back and think about who to choose now. If the team you lead hunts the least, then If you become a joke to everyone, I will go to the commune to call Liang Ziqiang and ask him to pick up some bullets when he comes back from the county. I don’t have time to grind my teeth with you here."

The two people walked out of the village committee together. Village Chief Zhao hurriedly went to the livestock shed to get the horse.

Han Li waited for Village Chief Zhao to go away, then came to He Mi's house unhurriedly and held her plump body in his arms.

While talking softly about what happened at the village committee just now, he gradually disarmed her.

Before the matter was finished, the two of them entered a stage where "desire" could not be seen for thousands of miles and "daylight" could not be seen beyond the mountains.

It wasn't until Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua were about to come back that they opened the window and sat on the kang seriously to chat.

At noon, as soon as everyone returned home from work, the loudspeaker in the village already announced the formation of an autumn protection team, and asked each team leader to repair the horse frame shack as the first thing after work in the afternoon. Educated youths must participate The conditions are also highlighted.

The villagers and old educated youths were relatively calm about the news, but the new educated youths, including Ma Runping's group, all began to ask what was going on.

Not long after Han Li returned to his home after having lunch at He Mi's house, Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu came over.

　Thanks: I owe Erden a reward: 188 points.
