Chapter 645 The Situation Is Serious

Han Li walked towards the village committee while talking to Village Chief Zhao, but he was still thinking about this matter.

Combined with the crop problem Village Chief Zhao just mentioned, and the fact that wild animals outside the mountain had ventured close to the territory marked by the two lynxes, all these signs indicate that it is very likely a disaster that people have not noticed, but what causes this situation?

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

If the temperature is one or two degrees different, people may not feel anything, but plants are different. If the temperature fluctuates by chance during their flowering and pollination period, it is very likely that there will be a reduction in production or a total crop failure.

Then the plants in the deep mountains may be in the same situation. There is an old saying: ducks know first when the river water warms in spring. Animals' perception and sense of smell of danger far exceed people's imagination.

Large carnivorous beasts will expand their hunting territory before the crisis comes, so that they can ensure that they have a more sufficient source of food.

Whether it is the expansion of the territory of large beasts or the reduction of food in the deep mountains due to weather reasons, either of the above two situations will cause the omnivorous and herbivorous animals to migrate.

Now they can ignore the territory marks of the two lynxes and venture close because if they do not grow enough fat before winter comes, it will be difficult for them to survive this long winter.

The beasts don't care whether the villagers' crops grow well this year. After all, they don't eat all kinds of weeds. Even if the crops in front of them grow poorly, they are delicious food and life-saving food in their eyes.

They have now appeared on the outskirts of the mountains, so it won't be long before they will visit the village's crops. This is probably why Village Chief Zhao came to find him early in the morning. After all, he is not only good at fighting, but also has a gun in his hand. He is definitely a main force when facing wild beasts.

After Han Li thought about the situation, he told Village Chief Zhao about his speculation. After listening, he frowned and fell into deep thought. It is estimated that he recalled the temperature this year. This situation has been maintained until the two people came to the 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 Han Li greeted everyone, Village Chief Zhao tapped the table with his pipe and said.

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

"What's wrong with the weather?"

"That's right, I don't feel any difference in the weather."

"It's the same as in previous years. It's so hot when hoeing the land, and my back hurts from the sun. Those new educated youths run away after getting one work point every day, but they are not skilled and work slowly. After a few days, their arms are sunburned."

Village Chief Zhao looked at the people in the room helplessly. None of them were delicate people. It would be better to ask a few older people than to rely on them, so he tapped the table and said.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now let's talk about the wild boars and bears we found in the outskirts."

As soon as Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, the people in the room started talking.

The militia captain said: There have been no wild boars wandering around the outskirts for two whole 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 a bit hanging. It's best to organize people to go into the mountains to hunt immediately, and 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 to the county to exchange for grain and store them. In this way, even if the crops really decrease this year, combined with the grain stored in the granary last year, at least our village can be better than other villages, and the situation in those years will not happen again.

The women's director said: Neither wild boars nor bears are chicks, and going into the mountains is not safer than digging traps in the fields, so this matter must be handled with caution, in case there is casualties, we can't explain to the villagers.

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

"Niece, you should quickly count the existing grain and money in the village, and estimate the approximate grain gap in our village based on last year's situation."

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

After listening, Village Chief Zhao frowned and recalled the situation of the farmland, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Then let's calculate it based on half of last autumn. In short, we must prepare for the worst."

Village Chief Zhao's words made everyone in the room silent. They stayed in the farmland every day and knew that what the village chief said was not exaggerated at all. It was just that they felt a pang of pain when they thought that this year was destined to be difficult.

Village Chief Zhao felt bad too. After more than ten years, he didn't expect to face such a situation again this year, but as the village chief, he couldn't show his fear. He knocked on the table hard and continued to give instructions.

"We will talk about going into the mountains to hunt wild boars later. After we get off work at noon today, we will broadcast the news to the autumn protection team, and then start repairing the horse sheds on the fields in the afternoon. We are still uncertain about the reduction in production, so don't be too depressed. But we must not let those animals 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 not be appropriate 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. Make an effort.”

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 I can make preparations in advance for whatever arrangements you have."

"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 what you might encounter 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 who are not so bad when you send someone. Nosy."

"I don't care about this. You can 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 suitable for me to choose or not choose anyone. If I can't catch the prey, I will at most make people laugh 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 selected.”

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?

"ah."

"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 I've become a joke to everyone. I'm going to call Liang Ziqiang over at the commune and ask him to pick up some bullets when he comes back from the county. I don't have time to grind my teeth here with you."

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 only be seen from a thousand miles away 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, when everyone had just 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 youth were relatively calm about the news, but the new educated youth, including Ma Runping's group, all began to inquire about 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 looking for him.

Thanks: I owe Erden a reward: 188 points.
