Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 68: The invasion of a 600-jin level mutant black-maned white-fanged beast!

Jiang Caier sang these two songs very well, they are ethereal, melodious, playful and cute. Li Xiang decided to use these two songs as the BGM of his videos in the future. He believed that the effect would be definitely good.

The snow fell heavily again, and a thick layer of snow formed overnight. Early the next morning, after Li Xiang shoveled snow for his own home, he went to help the villagers shovel snow.

The house of the third mother-in-law collapsed completely and there was no way to repair it for the time being.

This snowstorm was beyond everyone's expectations. Weather forecasters and experts have also begun to warn that the bad weather may continue for a relatively long period of time, so everyone should be prepared for a long battle.

At the beginning, many people were very happy, having snowball fights, making snowmen, and having a great time, because such heavy snow rarely occurs in the south, and this is a rare opportunity to play in the snow for free at home without having to travel.

However, after a while, everyone started to feel something was wrong.

Even in big cities, prices have skyrocketed. Cabbage has risen to more than ten yuan per pound, and pork has soared to fifty yuan.

Fans who had bought the product after listening to Li Xiang were relieved and admired him deeply. Those who had not taken it seriously before were filled with regret.

As for transportation, let alone highway closures, airplanes grounded, and many urban and rural buses stopped running. Electricity is even more scarce. Because it's cold, everyone has to turn on the air conditioner to keep warm.

Many people once again envy the north, because it is good to have heating there.

What surprised people was that the snow covered a wide area. Except for a few places with light snow, almost the whole world was hit by this wave of snow. Even Singapore, which is near the equator, had heavy snow!
In order not to block the road, the snow was swept to both sides. Some locals posted photos showing that the piled up snow was as high as the walls of the Indian temple on the roadside!

The steps of the Merlion were covered with thick snow, and the steps could not be seen at all. The sea was also frozen, and the waves were fixed in the air.

Someone joked: "The penguins' wish to go on vacation to a tropical destination has come true!"

"It's unimaginable that Singapore can have such heavy snow!"

This snowfall event broke Singapore's normal climate pattern and gave people a new understanding of the weather in this tropical country.

Some people predict that a small ice age is coming.
Someone said: "Aren't you worried about excessive carbon emissions and global warming? Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

Some people are optimistic: "This is good news. The icebergs in the Arctic and Antarctic started to melt, but now they are frozen back again."

Some northern residents were dismissive: "What a bunch of unworldly fellows! It's just a heavy snowfall. This kind of snow used to be just a daily snowfall in our northern region. It's not worth mentioning."

"We in the Northeast are all staying indoors during the winter, and the dumplings we make can last us ten days to half a month."

In fact, although the snow was heavy, the northern provinces did not feel much because they prepared for the cold every year and had sufficient heating and supplies. On the contrary, some southern provinces were not prepared at all. In addition, they had no experience in dealing with it and could not even handle the highways. It was a mess.

A province: "It's not our fault, it's God's fault. This is the heaviest snow and freezing rain we've ever seen."

"Emergency? Do we need emergency? In the past, we just waited for the ice and snow to melt automatically. After a few days, the temperature rose and the snow melted. It was like this every year. There was no point in shoveling it. Besides, it was impossible to shovel it. There was too much snow and it was too hard. We didn't prepare those high-powered snow shoveling and snow removal equipment."

"Let's just wait and see. The ice and snow will naturally melt in a few days. Wouldn't it be a waste of time and money to deal with it now?"

"But the weather forecast says it will last a long time!"

It directly silenced a certain province’s emergency office.

But they really have no choice. It is too late to urgently order high-powered snowplows. Everywhere is buying them. Not only are the stocks sold out, but the orders are also scheduled after January.

Although the snowstorm affected most people, there were always factories that benefited from it and made a lot of money. For the profiteers, the bigger and longer the snow lasted, the better!
Li Xiang's fans look back and admire him even more. They think he is a trustworthy person and will buy more from him next time he sells something.

Then some people gave Li Xiang rewards in his video.

He Zhixiang and Bangdajie gave a lot of tips.

The top sister is as aloof as ever. In the fan group, she ignored anyone who tried to chat with her. Her profile picture is very tough, showing a picture of a fat and rude female man. Some people speculated that this should be her? She is so ugly!
Then some female fans were jealous, wondering how could such an ugly old woman be so rich? It was so unfair.

Li Xiang was at home, brewing tea by the stove, feeling relaxed and content.

Although the end of the world will come, isn’t that still more than nine years away?
It was an unavoidable and irresistible "super catastrophe", the kind that truly "fell like the sky". Even if Li Xiang had the system, he could only ensure that he lived a better life, but could not "turn the tide" or "save the earth". Besides, he was a person who had experienced it once, and after his rebirth, his mentality had become calmer.

The main thing is that this kind of thing really can't be rushed. Even if you are nervous and anxious all day long, struggle every day, work yourself to death, eat poorly, and sleep poorly, the end of the world will still come, and the situation will not be much better.

He has no ambitions. He is content to remind the country at the right time, and then build a shelter for tens of thousands of people. He can't do anything bigger.

Just like a bunch of bananas now, some are good and some are rotten, of course you should eat the good ones first. Why do you have to pick the rotten ones? After you finish eating the rotten ones, the rotten ones will come again. As long as you choose to suffer, there will be endless suffering.

So, you should enjoy yourself. Whether it is finding joy in adversity or being optimistic, in short, Li Xiang does not want to make his life miserable.

……

The snow is white and the place is covered in silver. There is food and drink at home. The snow scene is really beautiful.

But it's not pure white either.

In the backyard of Li Xiang's house, dozens of "red lanterns" are hung on the top of the tall persimmon tree. A touch of red in the white snow is a beautiful scenery.

The persimmons were also very firm. It was so cold, but they refused to fall. A few unknown birds came over to the branches and chirped, pecking at the persimmon flesh. The surface of the persimmons seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, frozen, but the birds' beaks were very sharp and hard, and they could actually peck it open.

At the corner of the corridor, Li Xiang moved out the table for boiling tea around the stove, lit a charcoal fire, boiled a pot of black tea on the grid, and placed many snacks, fruits, nuts, and cakes on it to roast.

Red dates, peanuts, oranges, bananas, longans, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, beef jerky, plums, biscuits, homemade persimmon cakes, and the big pot cakes he tried to make himself, which were cut into small triangular strips and roasted over the fire and also made delicious snacks.

The big pot cake he learned to make this time is a bit like the big dun cake in Shaanxi Province, the kind that can be used as a shield.

It won't go bad in a heavy snowy day, and can be kept for at least 600 days. Of course, it may be eaten before days, because he only made five, each about grams, and after heating up, it is eaten with chili sauce. It's delicious. Isn't it better than those Western breads?
You know, Chinese steamed buns have won major awards in foreign pasta competitions, and Li Xiang believes that pot cakes are even more delicious than steamed buns.

Li Xiang, Jiang Caier, grandma and the third grandma sat around the charcoal fire, having a great time.

During the holidays, Jiang Caier came here almost every day and often ate and drank here. Of course, she also brought homework with her. Basically, she did three or four test papers every day under the guidance of Li Xiang and was very hardworking.

Due to the continued bad weather, transportation was suspended and it was unknown when school would start. But Jiang Caier estimated that it was likely that they would have to start taking online classes.

Several of Sanpo's daughters and sons-in-law also called to inquire, but due to heavy snow, they were unable to help Sanpo repair the house. Her eldest daughter even brought some cigarettes and alcohol to thank Li Xiang, and the other two daughters offered money, but Li Xiang refused to take it.

Originally they wanted to take Grandma San to their own home, but the journey was a bit far and inconvenient, and they were also worried that Grandma San’s body could not withstand it.

It’s pretty nice to live in Li Xiang’s house. It’s just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, and with Third Grandma to keep her company, grandma won’t be so bored.

The villagers now really believe in Li Xiang. Fortunately, they live in the countryside and have enough rice and vegetables at home. If they really don't have meat to eat, they just kill a chicken. But most people are reluctant to do so.

If we talk about the richest food and drinks, it has to be Li Xiang's house, with a wide variety of meat and vegetable ingredients, fruit snacks, and so on.

The two big yellow dogs and the little kittens also came over because it was warm next to the stove.

Li Xiang was afraid that they would be cold, so he built a big brazier. The cat and the dog lay beside it, enjoying the delicious food thrown to them by their owner from time to time, feeling very comfortable.

The calico cat was the closest to Jiang Caier. Maybe Jiang Caier liked it the most. After stroking it a few more times, the little guy climbed onto Jiang Caier's thighs this time.

The cats are now grown up and can be basically distinguished between male and female.

Xiaobai, Lihua and Cow cat are male, while Sanhua and Xiaoju are female.

Three of them have extraordinary potential, Xiaobai, Lihua and Sanhua, and must be kept, but there are still male and female ones.

This put Li Xiang in a difficult position, because cats have no ethics, they will mess around, and the offspring born from inbreeding may have problems.

If it's a pet, it doesn't matter if it's stupid or mentally retarded, as long as it looks cute.

However, if it affects the extraordinary physique, the gain will be counterproductive.

Li Xiang felt that he could only keep an eye on them more in the future, or wait until spring comes and buy more kittens. With more choices, the possibility of inbreeding would be lower.

He had already planned to go shopping, not limited to kittens, but also other animals such as puppies, chicks, ducklings, and geese.

Last time, there were three first-grade spiritual herb bamboo bird's nests, and Li Xiang took them out this time as well, added white fungus, lotus seeds, red dates, and rock sugar, stewed them in an earthenware pot, and served them in four small bowls. Now they are also being warmed next to the charcoal fire, bubbling with steam and a fragrant aroma. Each person has a bowl.

By the way, I also taught Jiang Caier some breathing techniques, but Jiang Caier found it troublesome and was not interested in learning.

"I hate sports the most. I'd be willing to do it if it was just dancing, but I'm not interested in serious exercise."

Li Xiang lied to her: "This is a beauty method. Look at me, my rosy face on a snowy day is because of this."

After hearing this, Jiang Caier was moved, and could not help but glance at Li Xiang. She thought to herself, brother, your rosy face is even prettier than many girls' skin. So this is how you practiced. Then I must learn it. So, she studied very hard.

She was actually quite talented, and she got started quickly and practiced well. When she had some difficulty, Li Xiang taught her some tips, and when she had some problems with the rhythm, Li Xiang corrected them one by one.

Li Xiang did not avoid his grandmother and the third grandmother. His grandmother had tried it before, but it was too difficult and she gave up soon. She was already old, so that was it.

Grandma San felt it was so complicated just by listening to it, her mind was confused, so she was too lazy to learn it.

This really depends on talent and character.

It’s like, now the college entrance examination textbooks and exercises can be bought, and many people’s test papers are the same as those of the top students, and some even have better educational conditions than the top students, but how many of them get into Tsinghua University or Peking University?
Li Xiang never had the idea of keeping something to himself. If he built an underground city in the future and opened a school in the underground city to pass on civilization, he planned to teach some simple breathing methods publicly so that everyone could practice them. He would then use this to select outstanding people and teach them more advanced methods.

In the last days, the human race is weak and even if it cherishes its own things, can the race still have a chance to turn things around?
Sometimes the pattern can't be too small.

Li Xiang's system allows him to exchange for various breathing methods. What surprised him was that the breathing method he obtained in his previous life was actually ranked very high in the system's scoring system. If he practiced to a high level, he could also cultivate and absorb some breathing methods of other attributes, thus achieving "evolution". It can be said that his potential is unlimited.

That is, progress will be very slow.

Precisely because of this shortcoming, not many people practiced this breathing method in previous lives, and it is relatively easy to acquire.

In this life, Li Xiang has the assistance of the system, and he believes that stepping into the holy level should not be a problem.

Li Xiang and his friends were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, when suddenly, Li Xiang stopped and looked towards a corner of the backyard. At the same time, the two dogs jumped up, barked loudly, and ran out into the snow.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"There's a wild boar!"

Li Xiang stood up and rushed into the utility room to get the steel fork and the high-density knife. At the same time, Jiang Caier escorted grandma and the third grandma to hide in the kitchen.

As for the stove outside, there is a big table of food, so why should I care about it?

The kittens were also panicking, meowing and running to their mother cat for shelter. The old tabby cat wooed and followed Jiang Caier and the others into the kitchen with the kittens.

At the same time, several birds that were pecking at frozen persimmons on the persimmon tree were also frightened and flew away.

Li Xiang had just taken the three-pronged steel fork and the Gaomi knife in his hands when he heard a scream.
