Doomsday Catastrophe

Shen Feng has also discovered that famine has already occurred across the country. If this year is the same as last year, everyone may be hungry, but it will not be particularly serious. But in this autumn, the mutation The number of birds has skyrocketed exponentially, not only the number of mutated birds in China has skyrocketed, but also many migratory birds in Siberia are also moving south. The number is tens of millions at least, and hundreds of millions at most. Mutant birds gather in China.

And mutated birds can also eat grain, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, sparrows were one of the four pests, because sparrows can eat grains.

The mutated bird is still an omnivore, it eats meat if it has meat, and seeds if it has seeds, and the Chinese harvest is in autumn, and a large amount of food is directly eaten by the mutated bird, and then famine broke out. The woman Shen Feng met on the road who was kicked out of the village was actually a victim of the famine. If there was no famine, she would still be able to continue living in the village with her children.

In the end, Shen Feng took the woman to a village by the water. The village here mainly grows water chestnut and lotus root, which can barely be counted as food after drying. After explaining the situation, the village chief agreed after thinking about it.

The village head's idea is very simple, "There are still a few bachelors in the village who don't have wives, and my nephew is still single. If this continues, I don't know when I will find a wife. It's better to leave this orphan and widow. It will also increase the population of the village in the future.”

So, the village head said directly: "Then stay here. Next year, you will follow the men in our village to plant water chestnuts and raise fish. As long as there is something to eat in the village, you two will not die of hunger."

After the village chief said these words, the woman immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and now it is great to find a group that is willing to accept her.

At this time, the village chief looked at Shen Feng instead, and said suspiciously: "It's strange, why do I feel that you look familiar?"

Shen Feng smiled and said: "There are too many people in the world who look alike, village chief, you may have misremembered, that's why you think I look familiar."

Shen Feng thinks this village is pretty good and can accept women from outside, but after all, there is still food in this village, so it can accept others. The village Shen Feng asked about before does not even have enough food for himself, let alone helping others ?

When Shen Feng said this, the village head had no doubts, and then he took the mother and son to live in an idle room in the village. Shen Feng then went to Yuzhou. Just after entering Yuzhou, Shen Feng saw the There are many people digging wild vegetables in the field. After seeing this scene, Shen Feng was shocked immediately and asked, "Is there also a famine in Yuzhou?"

In doubt, Shen Feng got out of the car and asked, "Is there a famine in Yuzhou now?"

When everyone saw Shen Feng appearing here, they knew that the city lord had returned. They were shocked immediately, and then replied: "Report to the city lord, there is no famine in Yuzhou. Besides, if there is a famine, there will be no wild vegetables on the mountain." , we don’t have the opportunity to dig wild vegetables like this now.”

After hearing this answer, Shen Feng also understood that if there really was a famine, there would be nothing left of the wild vegetables.

During the famines in the past dynasties, no matter in the mountains or in the water, as long as they were edible, they were all eaten, not to mention wild vegetables, even the bark and grass roots would be eaten, so the other way around, As long as wild vegetables can be found in the wild, it means that there is still food to eat, and there is no famine.

Then Shen Feng continued to ask: "Since there is no famine in Yuzhou, why do you still dig wild vegetables?"

After Shen Feng asked this question, the person in front of him then replied: "The city owner doesn't know, it's almost winter now, and those of us don't have any work to farm the fields. Not much, in order to reduce food consumption, we can only dig wild vegetables, at least we can save a little."

Shen Feng suddenly realized that it turned out to be like this. There was no work to do in winter, so he had nothing to do, so he had to choose to dig wild vegetables.

After learning the truth of the matter, Shen Feng also wanted to continue to understand the situation in Yuzhou, so he continued to ask: "Then can you still live? Will there be any difficulties in life?"

When asked this question, the villager who was asked immediately said: "Thanks to the care of the city lord, we can still live now. As long as we are strong, we can live with our hands and eat food every month." Order meat, there has been no famine in Yuzhou, not to mention the city lord, I will continue to dig wild vegetables."

After finishing speaking, the person who was questioned set off with a small hoe and a backpack. Fortunately, this is the south, and wild vegetables can be found even in winter. If it was in the north, the entire ground would be bare , Let alone wild vegetables, even weeds may not be able to be found.

Shen Feng then got into the car in a good mood. After learning that there was no threat of famine in Yuzhou, he was in a better mood, because as long as the people below can eat enough, there will be no major disturbances in Yuzhou.

However, when Shen Feng was in the car, Xu Xing suddenly asked: "City Lord, tell me, if there is no food anywhere else, are you going to run to Yuzhou?"

After hearing this, the smile on Shen Feng's face disappeared immediately, because he knew that it must be like this. When the areas around Yuzhou have no food, only Yuzhou still has food , and Yuzhou at that time, there will inevitably be a large influx of refugees, and the food in Yuzhou will still be in a hurry.

After being reminded by Xu Xing, Shen Feng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. At this moment, he can't be complacent, because there are more crises hidden in the future.

"Then let's go back to Yuzhou as soon as possible. Lu Xian, inform the City Lord's Mansion and say that there is no need to greet him. This time is not a triumph anyway, so there is no need to make a big fuss every time we come back." Shen Feng immediately said to Lu Xian said.

Lu Xian nodded, and immediately informed Yuzhou that the city lord's mansion did not need to welcome him. This time, it only took two months to set off, which is not a long time. After Shen Feng came back, the fields had already planted Winter wheat, as the name suggests, is wheat that grows in winter and is harvested in spring, and the greater the snow in winter, the better the harvest.

After returning to Yuzhou, everyone went back to their respective homes, and Chang Jianyi and Chu Chaoyan had also received the news, and specially greeted Shen Feng at home, and at this time Shen Xingzhi was already babbling, see After arriving at Shen Feng, he kept calling "Dad". After hearing this, Shen Feng immediately hugged the child happily and talked.

Chang Jianyi then said softly: "It should be fine recently, so you can live in Yuzhou with peace of mind, the family should be reunited, and sister Chaoyan's stomach has not moved at all."

Hearing this, Shen Feng quickly looked at Chu Chaoyan, and then saw Chu Chaoyan with resentful eyes at this time, and there was still a bit of resentment in her eyes.

Shen Feng then said helplessly: "Recently nothing has happened, but I am worried that there will be a steady stream of refugees in those places suffering from famine in the future, and there may be problems at that time."

When Shen Feng said this, Chu Chaoyan replied: "This matter has been discussed in the City Lord's Mansion for a month. In short, we also have a way to deal with it. You don't need to worry about this matter. You just need to worry about it." You just need to do things with peace of mind.”

At this time, Chang Haojie also appeared with Hua Jingran, but Hua Jingran was more restrained at this time, facing Shen Feng, he could only shout: "Hello, City Lord."

Shen Feng smiled and said: "Don't call me the city owner anymore, just call my brother-in-law like Xiaojie. You can appear here, which means that you won the first place in the orphanage exam?"

When Hua Jingran heard this, he immediately lowered his head in shame and said, "It's not the first place, it's the third place. I disappointed you, the city lord."

Chang Jianyi said lightly: "Let's not talk about it, anyway, Hua Jingran will live here in the future, and I need you to present awards to the male and female students who won the first place in the orphanage exam, you mean If you want to give the supernatural potion, don't forget."

After hearing what Chang Jianyi said, Shen Feng immediately understood. Under the current situation, it must be that Hua Jingran's grades were not good, but Chang Haojie couldn't stand Chang Haojie's begging, so in the end Chang Jianyi accepted it. Hua Jingran, from this incident, it can be seen that Chang Jianyi has changed a lot, and now he is able to accept people he doesn't like.

However, at this moment, Shen Feng thought of something, and quickly asked, "By the way, where is Zhang Xixi? Why didn't you see her?"

Shen Feng also knew that his return was not all good news, especially for Zhang Xixi, what he announced next was particularly bad news, but helplessly, Shen Feng could only tell Zhang Xixi about it, because , there are always some cruel things that need to be faced.

"Xixi, she should be helping in the kitchen now. Xiaolong has caught a cold recently, so Sister Du is taking care of her every step of the way. The things in the kitchen are just Xixi watching. I can see you later when I eat We're here." Chu Chaoyan said hastily.

Almost all the affairs in Fengshen Palace have been handed over to Du Xinshi for management. After all, such a key position must be held by a confidant, and Du Xinshi is a very good choice.

The most important thing in Fengshen Palace is nothing else, but food and drink. Ever since the poisoning incident, Chang Jianyi never handed over the food and drink to others. Before that, Du Xinshi was always watching. For the chef The censorship is also very strict, to ensure that the chefs who have entered Fengshen Palace are reliable, and now that Du Xinshi needs to take care of her son, Zhang Xixi can only take care of the food.

Shen Feng sighed helplessly, and said, "Chaoyan, go and exchange Xixi, I have something to tell her."

While talking, Shen Feng found a cloth bag from the car, no one knew what was inside, and seeing Shen Feng's serious appearance, Chu Chaoyan also realized the seriousness of the matter, and then went to relieve Zhang Xixi come over.

After seeing Shen Feng appearing, Zhang Xixi hurriedly asked: "Brother Shen Feng, did you give my letter to my big brother? Did he say anything?"

With a serious face, Shen Feng handed the cloth bag to Zhang Xixi, and said, "No! Your big brother is a hero. In order to protect the family members from escaping, your big brother sacrificed himself. My condolences."

When Zhang Xixi heard this, her eyes became dull immediately, and the light in her eyes disappeared. Then she snatched the cloth bag from Shen Feng's hand and opened it. It turned out to be a few broken bones and an undelivered letter.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Xixi couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart immediately, she just knelt on the ground and cried, seeing her very sad now, Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi also quickly comforted her.

The world is fickle, and no one knows whether we can see each other after parting, especially for a certain parting, maybe we think we can meet again in the future, but these careless farewells are often the last farewell, and only after the fact can we understand this truth .
