In the leather book, there are historical records.
53 years ago, 52 years ago, 51 years ago, the weather was good for three years.
The harvest in the camp was good, and the faces of the people in the outer city were no longer pale or sallow, but had more or less blood color.
Just when people thought that life would continue to be beautiful like this.
50 years ago, in May, it rained heavily and it didn't stop for a month.
The seedlings in the fields were all dead, and the stored grain sprouted and became moldy. Many people ate the spoiled grain and died from diarrhea.
Then the plague spread.
Outside the camp, nine out of ten rooms are empty.
In the inner city of the camp, the population is reduced by half.
The situation improved 49 years ago, and in the next five years, the camp gradually received many fleeing scavengers.
The population gradually recovered.
Then, there was a severe drought 44 years ago.
The fields were cracked and there was no rain for half a year until winter came.
People survived for a year by saving food.
The following year, the first season 43 years ago, the fields were still harvestless because they were not sown last year.
In early summer, rain returns to normal.
But when the corn seedlings had just grown to knee height, hail fell from the sky.
The harvest failed again, the simple houses in the outer city were smashed, and the inner city was also seriously damaged.
Many people died of hunger and disease.
The next three years were slightly better. Although it was not smooth sailing every year, there was always some harvest every season.
People can barely make ends meet by farming.
After all, farmland without breeding, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides will not produce much food.
39 years ago, there was a flood.
There were countless casualties. After the flood, the corpses in the outer city were not collected in time, and epidemics broke out.
...
This is not history, this is clearly a history of blood and tears, a history of disasters and famines!
Tang Wen frowned heavily.
Natural disasters are too frequent in this world.
This is not only true nearby, but also in other places.
According to the records in the cowhide notebook, there is a reincarnation every seven or eight years, and there are also many short-lived minor disasters during this period.
If you can survive it, live, if you can't survive it, die!
Tang Wen recalled that his parents in this body had also fled to the camp with their siblings.
Calculating the time, it is less than ten years.
Now, severe drought is showing its signs again.
No wonder the camp was so nervous and they started to control their food consumption early.
Tang Wen felt bitter in his heart and looked outside the city: No wonder so many people would rather be scavengers or wander than find a peaceful place to farm.
Farming makes a living in this unpredictable weather.
It's no different from gambling on life.
Not to mention, for ordinary people, farming in the wild may be killed by a sudden alien beast at any time.
But why is there such weird weather?
Is it because the natural ecology has also been severely damaged, or is it due to other reasons?
How long is this going to last?
Questions popped up one after another.
Tang Wen was filled with doubts.
Human beings are so fragile in front of nature.
His heart felt blocked, but Tang Wen forced himself to continue reading.
In the record book, natural disasters continue to happen.
But there is good news,
About 10 years ago, farming efficiency improved, and the yield per mu was higher.
At that time, many refugees fled from various places and became farmers in outer cities.
They brought some advanced experience, that is, composting manure and fertilizing, which increased the fertility of the land and raised the yield to a higher level.
Snap.
Tang Wen closed the book, looked at the crowd, and sighed silently: So, it has only been in the past few years that the Flame Camp has had enough food.
The drought is coming. I have to stock up on food and meat!
After becoming the commander, Tang Wen was assigned a residence in the inner city.
There are only a few rooms in the house, but the yard is very large.
There is only a wall separated from Zhou Bing's house.
Someone was originally living there, but the person in charge of dividing the courtyard quietly inquired about Tang Wen's situation.
So he decisively came to the door and offered a condition that he could be exempted from rent for half a year if he moved.
So the tenants happily moved out.
The courtyard was naturally assigned to Tang Wen.
Living comfortably in Zhou Bing's home, he has no intention of moving.
But for now, he plans to make use of the yard.
Let’s dig a cellar first!
Tang Wen came to a row of stone houses in the guard camp.
"Commander Tang," a familiar figure trotted over.
"Oh, Brother Li." He saw the person clearly.
"Oh, don't you dare, don't dare, but you can't do it. If you have anything to do, commander, just tell me to do it." Wang Li bent down slightly and stood respectfully beside Tang Wen.
Tang Wen thought for a while, then gestured and said, "I want to find someone to dig a big cellar."
Wang Li agreed: "No problem, Commander, the construction team is idle right now!"
"Okay, then please find them."
"It should, it should!"
After a while, Wang Li came back with a dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged man.
The other party looked nervous and didn't relax until he heard Tang Wen's request to dig a cellar.
"There are three floors in total. A cellar for storing things? No problem, we'll cover it!"
"How long will it take to build it?"
"A month."
Tang Wen frowned.
The middle-aged man immediately changed his mind: "It's okay to work overtime for twenty days, but you have to take care of the food, sir, and you have to give me some rice."
Wang Li turned his head sharply and glared at him.
Tang Wen stretched out his hand to stop: "Well, I'll give you coppers. In addition to taking care of the food, each person will receive three coppers a day. You give me three times as many people, and we'll finish it in seven days!"
"Okay, okay! No problem, no problem at all!" The middle-aged man bowed excitedly.
Immediately, Tang Wen led the two of them into the inner city and came to his yard.
He gave Wang Li a piece of silver and asked him to be responsible for the purchase of building materials.
Wang Li declined for a few times, then finally accepted it and said with a wry smile: "Recently, for some reason, the accounts in the camp have been strictly checked, otherwise there would be no need for the commander to pay."
After receiving the copper plate and having a good meal, the construction team started working on the same day.
There are many workers and there is not enough space in the yard to perform the work.
They worked in three shifts, working day and night.
The scene looked like a construction site during a boom in real estate.
The yard under construction was only separated from Tang Tang's bedroom by a wall.
The young lady couldn't stand the noise and temporarily moved to Zhou's Ice House.
Five days later.
Tang Wen was practicing Hunyuan Zhuang in the guard camp commander's lounge.
Over and over again, I didn’t go out until noon.
Zhou Bing looked at the door curiously and felt confused at first. It felt like a health-preserving exercise.
As Tang Wen began to practice his movements on the bed, she finally understood: "Xiao Wen, what kind of skills have you practiced, and why do you look so, so unseemly?"
Tang Wen didn't look at her and hummed: "Aren't you the one who will enjoy the happiness in the future?"
"Pooh!"
The ice beauty Xia Fei's cheeks fluttered, but her eyes did not move away even a little bit.
After a while, she hurried out and brought several bowls of food from the canteen.
[Hunyuan Stake, Getting Started → Mastering (1/3000)]
The Hunyuan pile broke through.
It can only be said that Tang Wen is indeed a genius that several middle-aged and elderly male doctors are unanimously optimistic about.
On weekdays, when he practices Hunyuan Zhuang, he always feels particularly comfortable and gains experience quickly.
If this continues, wouldn't it be possible to have one wife and thirty concubines just around the corner?
"The food is here! Come and eat."
Tang Wen didn't move and looked at the attribute panel.
【Body:8.05→8.65】
【Fine: 8.6→9.2】
"Um?"
Only increased by 0.6?
Is it because the stamina of the technique is insufficient, or is it for some other reason?
Hunyuan Zhuang, shouldn’t it be similar to Vajra Kung Fu?
For the second upgrade, the attributes should increase by about 1.0.
Could it be that my attributes are too strong, causing the effect of the technique to become weaker?
Gu Gu Gu Gu.
Being hungry, Tang Wen stopped thinking about this problem and started eating first.
When he came to the dinner table, the plates and chopsticks were already set.
There is also a large vat of tea next to it.
Tang Wen stretched out his hand to pick it up, blew in and took a sip. Well, the temperature was just right.
He drank half the teapot in one breath.
After a while of devouring, Tang Wen stretched and burped.
Zhou Bing, who had been full for a long time, bent down and skillfully cleaned up the mess of cups and plates on the table.
Appreciating the beautiful curves she inadvertently revealed, Tang Wen's face was filled with relief.
If in the previous life, the family did not have the strength to run four companies, three nannies, and two cleaners, and wanted to marry a beauty of this level, just dream!
It is conservatively estimated that Zhou Bing can become an international supermodel due to her figure.
If you add in skill, it would be incredible.
After being warm and full, Tang Wen couldn't help but stand behind the ice beauty and help her clean up.
After squeezing each other, Zhou Bing gave him a loving look: "Go back to the house and sleep, and stop making trouble."
"How can it be causing trouble?" Tang Wen refused to let go, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Go, go!" Zhou Bing pushed him into the bedroom to rest.
She concluded that Tang Wen's strength had greatly increased, and he not only needed to eat a big meal, but also had to have a good sleep.
In the evening, Tang Wen woke up.
There was no sign of Zhou Bing inside or outside the courtyard.
It was only after I caught the guard and asked him that something happened.
Recently, the guards have received repeated reports of scavengers.
Said they were a scavenger camp and someone was missing.
At first, the guards didn't take it seriously. It was normal for scavengers to disappear.
It’s as normal as cats eating fish and dogs eating meat.
But as the scavengers reported more times, a guard came over to take a look.
An abnormality was immediately discovered. The missing people were missing one by one, and they all lived in the westernmost part of the scavenger camp.
Now, more than a hundred mud houses and shacks there are empty.
There are no special marks on the ground.
The guards felt something was wrong and reported the news to their hunting camp in the afternoon.
Zhou Bing just took people out to check.
Missing?
Tang Wen was surprised. Doesn't this look like the alienated beast can be driven out?
"Prepare your horse and lead the way."
He was also going to take a look.
