Chapter 472, Darkness Chen Cang

He stood at the door and sent everyone away.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked up at the sky, the weather was a bit repetitive these days.

It will be cloudy and sunny, but it will not rain.

It was still sunny in the morning, but the sky was already overcast at this time, as if it might rain at any time.

It seemed to confirm his idea.

"boom……"

There was a burst of thunder in the sky.

At this moment, when she heard the sound of thunder, Grandma Miao came out of the house.

A look of worry.

Seeing the other party's expression, Zhou Xiaochuan realized that Xiaocao had not come back.

But the people who think of the sheep can also hear the thunder.

Then he comforted: "Grandma Miao, don't worry too much, they heard the thunder, they should be back soon."

Grandma Miao nodded when she heard the words, and then said, "There are thieves everywhere."

Hearing Grandma Miao's words, Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.

He has also heard this statement.

August in the Gregorian calendar is the rainy season, but in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, there are still thunderstorms and heavy rain, which will affect the autumn harvest.

What it means is that after the reduction of food production, there is not enough food to eat.

There will be people who starve to death, or people who go out and steal.

However, he thought that the temperature here is lower than that in the south, and the autumn harvest is from the end of September to the middle of October.

The harvest season of millet is a little later.

But these are all determined according to the annual climate. The earlier the spring is warmer, the earlier the harvest will be.

Otherwise, it will be late.

In his opinion, this is a good thing, isn't it good when there is rain?

I don't know what they were thinking.

between thoughts.

Another blast of thunder sounded, and at the same time, soybean-like raindrops began to fall.

As the rain got heavier and heavier, Grandma Miao seemed a little restless.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Grandma Miao and asked, "Grandma Miao, if it rained before, did they often not come back?"

"Occasionally I don't come back when I get older. Very rarely."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Although this has happened before, Grandma Miao is definitely still worried.

In his thoughts, his eyes turned to the distance.

I saw two figures walking down the mountain.

It was Captain Zhao and Zhao Sanxi.

I didn't see Feng Accounting's figure inside.

Zhou Xiaochuan thought for a while, then went back to the house and put on a raincoat and rubber shoes.

"Grandma Miao, don't worry, I'll take a look."

After Zhou Xiaochuan came out, he said to Grandma Miao, and then walked towards the rain.

"Hey, come back, it's alright, it's not that you haven't met before."

Grandma Miao behind her shouted anxiously.

But at this time, Zhou Xiaochuan had already rushed into the rain curtain.

The few people in front of Captain Zhao walked slowly, likewise, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't walk too fast.

When he came to the river channel at the foot of the mountain, several people had already crossed the river channel and walked towards the opposite mountain.

The opposite hill is relatively small, and there are not many shrubs on it.

I guess it was cut down.

It didn't look very far, and it was already an hour later when he climbed the hill.

It was almost dusk now.

When I came to the top of the mountain, I didn't see the existence of Captain Zhao and the others.

But through his thoughts, he saw a surprising scene.

Captain Zhao was in a cave, talking to a few sheep herders.

Zhao Laoliu, Xiaocao, and another teenage child.

The two children were sitting on the kang in the cave at this time.

"Liu Liu, is the sheep okay?"

"Don't worry, I didn't see it right. I was afraid that it would be too late, so I rushed the sheep in."

Next to this clean cave, there are four or five caves.

It's just that there is no kang inside, it's just a simple cave.

A flock of sheep in their thirties and the big ox were honestly staying inside.

Zhao Baoshan was relieved when he heard the words.

This scene is not what surprised Zhou Xiaochuan.

To his surprise, there were a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes growing on the **** at the entrance of the cave.

It is estimated that there are five or six acres of land together.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he saw this, it seems that Captain Zhao is not a fool.

Darkness Chencang.

Just doing so is risky.

I don't know how they avoided it.

Captain Zhao looked at the heavy rain outside and asked Zhao Laoliu, "How do those potatoes look like?"

Zhao Laoliu smiled happily when he heard the words: "It has rained a few times this year, so it shouldn't be too bad."

After finishing speaking, he said a little worriedly: "I'm afraid that it will rain during the autumn harvest later, and the food there will be troublesome."

Captain Zhao waved his hand when he heard the words.

"It's one step at a time, there's still a month left. You'll be fine. Then we'll go back first. Xiaocao, Erdan, you two come with us."

What he said later was to Xiaocao and the two of them.

Xiaocao hesitated after hearing the words, "What about the cow?"

"It's okay, put it here and put it away tomorrow. Your second grandfather is watching."

After Captain Zhao finished speaking, he smiled again: "If your brother Xiaochuan asks, he will tell you that it is with your second grandfather."

Xiaocao tangled for a while after hearing the words, and finally could only let out a soft sigh.

Hearing the words, the two little guys took out two mini versions of Minoyi from the kang.

These are all prepared to prevent accidents.

Although there is still some floating ash on the kang, the half near the edge is relatively clean. It means that there are usually people here to rest here.

Zhou Xiaochuan outside saw that these people were ready to come out, he originally wanted to hide.

But after thinking about it, in the end, he didn't enter the space, and instead walked slowly towards the bottom.

no need.

I just saw it, so what?

But looking at this piece of land, he got some spatial spring water out and watered the roots of these potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Here, Captain Zhao and the others were about to go back, when they saw Zhou Xiaochuan in the dojo at the door.

Zhao Sanxi asked in surprise, "It's raining so hard, why are you here, Xiaochuan?"

"Brother Xiaochuan." Xiaocao was also surprised when she saw Zhou Xiaochuan.

Zhou Xiaochuan entered the cave and wiped the rain off his face.

He said with a smile: "Grandma Miao is a little worried about Xiaocao. I will follow you when you come over. How could I know that you ran so fast and didn't catch up."

Zhao Sanxi smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words, but only made a soft sound.

Captain Zhao was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, everyone is safe, let's take the child back. There is the sixth child here, it's fine."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, and waved to Xiaocao.

Seeing this, Xiaocao came over.

The other child was pulled by Sanxi.

Several people went out in the rain.

However, the rain outside was much lighter at this time, and only the light rain was falling.

Zhou Xiaochuan pulled Xiaocao and smiled at Captain Zhao, who was silent next to him: "Captain Zhao, those potatoes and sweet potatoes look good."

Captain Zhao did not speak when he heard the words~lightnovelpub.net~ but was silent for a while.

Then he smiled: "Not much, I was going to tell you next year, anyway, everyone will be the same in the future."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words. He felt that if he hadn't discovered this place himself, he probably wouldn't have known it.

After all, these people are not trustworthy for the time being.

He also finally knew why there was such a shortage of food here, why no one went out and ran away.

In winter, we eat thin grains in slack, and in summer, we add fruits and vegetables to the top.

In addition to the peanuts and soybeans in the middle of the cornfield here and before, it can barely support the autumn harvest.

People are soft when farming is slack.

No way, if the staple food is too little, there will be no carbohydrates, and the blood sugar is easy to be low.

This is also the reason why Zhao Sanxi had to change people when he was stir-frying peanut noodles.
