In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

When she went to No. 50 Mountain to collect pine nuts, the bear roar she heard was loud, but there was not much anger in the roar. But this time, the bear roar clearly screamed anger, so the sheep boss was afraid.

Don't ask Xia Qing how she heard it. She had no rigorous theoretical basis and no systematic auditory training. She just felt the emotional difference contained in the roar. Perhaps this is a difference that only those with evolved hearing abilities can hear?

Because the bear's roar made the sheep boss uneasy, Xia Qing canceled her afternoon trip to Valley No. 1 to test the ginger, and asked Chen Zheng to return to Territory No. 1 while she led the sheep boss home.

 She had to prepare the pine nuts and chestnuts promised to Xin Yu as soon as possible. The chestnuts are ready, but the pine nuts are still in the pine cones, and the pine cones are still drying on the roof.

Pine cone is inherently hard, and it has become even harder after its hardness has evolved. The cut pine cones had been left in the sun on the roof for half a month, and they only started to dry out yesterday. Xia Qing originally planned to collect pine nuts tomorrow, but the plan could not keep up with the change, so he harvested pine cones this afternoon instead.

After returning home, Xia Qing first took a look at the chicken coop through the window of the chicken coop. No new eggs were found, so he poured some non-polluted spring water into the sheep boss's basin. After his mood stabilized, he went to the warehouse. On the top, first gather up the green light pine tower, put it into a bag, and carry it to the yard for beating.

Because the hardness of edible pine trees has evolved, Xia Qing did not dare to knock directly on the roof for fear of damaging the roof.

 After beating for a few minutes, most of the pine nuts have fallen off, and a few are still hidden in the pine cone. They need to be picked out with a thin screwdriver.

 This is a delicate job, but fortunately Xia Qing has a lot of patience.

Listening to the roar of the bear and the faint barking of dogs, Xia Qing, who was picking pine nuts, chatted with the sheep boss, "The wolves must have heard such a loud noise. As long as the queen and the broken waist are not stupid, they will lead the wolves to avoid the evolutionary forest." Deep. Boss, do you know where the wolves’ territory is?”

 The sheep boss lying next to Xia Qing squinted his eyes and chewed the cud without saying a word.

“It would be great if we also had a talking bird companion.” Xia Qing picked out a pine nut and looked at the row of swallows standing on the top of the chicken coop.

These little guys are cuter than ravens, but they are not brain evolvers and cannot speak human language. Most omnivorous migratory birds fly in the evening and night. The swallows line up and look north, probably waiting for the migratory birds to come, and then take off to follow them.

Xia Qing put the empty pine tower in his hand into the bamboo basket and picked up another one for inspection when he heard the sound of little swallows taking off at the same time.

She thought the swallow was about to set off, but when she looked up, she found that the swallow circled twice in the yard and landed on the bamboo pole where she used to dry vegetables.

Where the swallow used to stand on the roof of the chicken coop, a small head similar in color to the synthetic resin tiles was exposed. Behind the small head was a big fluffy tail that was wagging.

Isn't this the one who likes freeloading? Did it hear the sound of hitting the pine cone and come over to get free food?

Xia Qing was speechless, lowered her head and continued to pick pine nuts.

When the red squirrel saw that Xia Qing ignored it, it jumped from the chicken coop to the roof of the sheep shed, and then jumped from the roof of the sheep shed into the yard. It rubbed its two little paws and stared longingly at Songta Mountain.

Xia Qing grabbed a pine cone and checked that there were no pine nuts left, so she threw it to the red squirrel and said, "Let's play with it."

The red squirrel jumped up to catch it, and fiddled with it with its little paws like a treasure for a while. When it found that there was no pine nut left, it threw it aside and continued to shake its big tail and rub its little paws, trying to sell **** in exchange for food.

Its small appearance is indeed very eye-catching, but Xia Qing doesn't like this. She picked out a pine nut and ate it herself. He picked out another one and gave it to the sheep boss next to him.

The sheep boss squinted at the red squirrel and chewed pine nuts with relish.

"Want to eat?" Xia Qing picked out another pine nut and pinched it in his left hand, then took out a peanut from the pocket of the protective suit. His movements and words combined with his words, "If you want to eat pine nuts, use peanuts in exchange for me. If you don't have peanuts, just No pine nuts.”

The red squirrel watched Xia Qing put the pine nuts into the bag and jumped up and down, vividly expressing its dissatisfaction.

Xia Qing didn't care whether the red squirrel was satisfied or not. There were pine trees everywhere in the evolutionary forest, and she didn't believe that the red squirrel couldn't find anything edible on its own. Not to mention other places, Xia Qing left enough pine cones for the red squirrel to spend the winter on the yellow pine trees in the third area of ​​No. 49 Mountain. If you want to eat it, pick it yourself!

The red squirrel was tossing and looking cute for a while. After finally realizing that Xia Qing would not give it to him for free, he hugged the pine cone and left cursingly.

Xia Qing worked unhurriedly until around five o'clock in the afternoon, when Xia Qing finished gathering the pine nuts.

The pine cones harvested from the four green light pine trees in the third area of ​​No. 49 Mountain yielded 43 kilograms of pine nuts, the Huang Dingtao produced 66 kilograms, and the harvest from No. 50 Mountain was 24 kilograms.

This year, Xia Qing harvested a total of 133 kilograms of edible pine nuts, which is enough for Xia Qing to stir-fry, cook porridge and stir-fry vegetables.

 She happily weighed two kilograms of pine nuts harvested from No. 50 Mountain and put them into sealed bags.

The pine nuts from No. 50 Mountain have lower terrestrial element content than those from No. 49 Mountain, and the taste is better. In order to express his gratitude to Xin Yu, of course Xia Qing had to give him a good gift.

Xia Qing then stored three bags of pine nuts in the food storage room underground in the tool room, and then went to the vegetable storage room underground in the garage to bring up ten kilograms of yellow light chestnuts.

Xia Qing does not put chestnuts and pine nuts in the same storage room because the two foods have different storage temperature and humidity requirements.

The storage temperature and humidity requirements of pine nuts are similar to those of wheat, so they are placed in grain storage rooms; the storage requirements of chestnuts are similar to those of vegetables such as potatoes, so they are placed in vegetable storage rooms.

After sealing the nuts, the bears on No. 50 Mountain no longer roared or barked, so Xia Qing rushed to the northern isolation zone with the exchange materials. When the sheep boss saw Xia Qing going out, he immediately followed him.

Before one person and one sheep reached the northern isolation zone, they heard the barking of dogs not far away. Xia Qing's subconscious action was to stop the aggressive sheep boss, but the sheep boss's action was to push Xia Qing into the territory and urge him. She quickly ran after him.

Through the actions of the sheep boss, Xia Qing judged that the two barking evolved dogs were not low in combat effectiveness. She immediately sent the sheep boss to the hut next to the farmland and let him stay in the house. She returned to the high-slope buffer forest and climbed up the big chun tree to check the situation.

The wolf-hunting team with two evolved dogs was stopped by the dangerous investigation team led by Tan Junjie at the northern isolation zone where Territory 3 and Territory 4 intersected. From that location, walk north along the stream and you can enter the abandoned wild boar breeding center. The cave there is now a wolf den.

Amidst the barking of dogs, Blind Jiang, who is blind in one eye, was negotiating with Tan Junjie, "Captain Tan, our scent-evolved dog smelled the scent of a wolf nearby, so we issued a warning."

Tan Junjie warned sternly, "This is a territorial isolation zone. Please immediately stop your domesticated animals from making noises that may attract evolved bears."

 Jiang Xiazi did not order the evolutionary dog ​​to stop, but spread his hands and explained, "There is the smell of wolf here, that's why the evolutionary dog ​​reacted so strongly, I can't stop it."

“Now is the second warning: Jiangxiong Team, please immediately stop your domesticated beasts from causing serious safety hazards to the territory, otherwise the danger investigation team will immediately kill the domesticated beasts.”

 After the second warning was issued, the danger investigation team members raised their guns and aimed at the two evolved dogs of the Jiang Xiong team.

 Before Tan Junjie could issue the third warning, Jiang Xiazi immediately ordered the two evolved dogs to shut up.

Xia Qing, the ninth-level visual evolver on the big chun tree, clearly saw the annoyance in Jiang Xiazi's one eye.
