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

Chapter 441 The red squirrel living in the sheep shed

  It will be a cold winter this year, and the lords are actively preparing cold-proof materials - cold-proof materials for crops to survive the winter.

Everyone followed the measures introduced on the radio, such as winter irrigation, spreading plant ash, covering with dead leaves or crushed straw, and what Qi Fu and Shi Quan said on the radio. Now they dig cold trenches to separate the greenhouses and farmland where wheat and rapeseed grow. Encircling it is the last step everyone can take.

If this can't keep wheat through the cold winter, then everyone has no choice but to accept their fate.

 So, for this last measure, each territory has taken it very seriously. If they encounter something they don’t understand, they can communicate with each other in the lord channel to find solutions.

Yue Haiying provided new ideas, "Brother Qi, is there any antifreeze for plants?"

The lowest temperature in winter before the natural disaster at Huisan Base was minus 5 degrees. Even Qi Fu and Shi Quan, who had farming experience, did not know much about cold resistance in farmland. Qi Fu really doesn't know about Yue Haiying's problem, "I don't know either. Logically speaking, there should be something before the natural disaster, right?"

Kuang Qingwei immediately went online, "I asked someone to find out, but even if this thing is available, the price is probably not cheap."

Hearing that the supplies were not cheap and might be scarce, Xia Qing, who was driving a tiller to dig trenches, began to count silently: 1, 2...

 “There is antifreeze for plants.”

Sure enough, a big boss came online, but it was not Li Si but Zhang San. Zhang San was in a good mood and his voice had a little more energy. "But the best temperature for using plant antifreeze is 5-15℃, and at -5 Disabled below ℃.”

 Everyone…

Zhao Ze couldn't help but mutter, "Third brother, it won't freeze between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, so why do you need antifreeze?"

 Zhang San was in a good mood and talked a lot, "Plants that are not cold-tolerant will be frozen and lose their activity at this temperature."

 After waiting for a while, no Li Si or assistant Xiao Liu came online to promote the specialties of Territory No. 9. Xia Qing knew why Zhang San was in a good mood today.

Sure enough, Zhang San's phone call came quickly, "Xia Qing, after the green light soybeans are delivered, do you want to store them in my storage room or put them in your own territory?"

Xia Qing immediately replied, "I'll leave it with you first, and I'll get it from you when it's time to plant. Third brother, did the people from Liehuo agree so easily?"

 Zhang San snorted, "The evidence is conclusive, she dare not agree."

No need to ask, this "she" must refer to Liehuo's vice-captain Shan Ying. Xia Qing felt so happy that when she went home to rest at noon, she took a bag of green light pecans from the underground storage room and gave three kilograms to her idol in exchange for a potion that could drive away small reptiles. Eat a pound by yourself to replenish your brain.

　　When Xia Qing returned after exchanging potions with Ji Li, Xia Qing cut another bag of chun lings from the big chun tree and took it home. After pruning this time, only the tops of the trees are left with fruits hanging on them, which cannot be reached with long branch pruners. If you want to get it off, you have to tie a sickle to a long bamboo pole and use the sickle to cut down.

 This matter is not urgent. You can do it when you come over tomorrow.

At this time, the wolves and the Bearded Front Team have left, and only Xia Qing, the sheep boss, and Sick Wolf are left in the territory. Although the territory is lonely, Xia Qing feels warm and fulfilled.

 After chatting with the boss, I returned home and said hello to the sick wolf who was looking after the house. I took the Chun Lingzi back to the house and put them on the large balcony on the second floor to dry, when I heard the sound of hay being plowed.

Xia Qing turned around and found a red squirrel with a white bandage around its waist crawling out of the haystack, holding on to the cage with its little paws, looking at Chun Lingzi eagerly, its big fluffy tail wagging. I want to eat it.

Xia Qing raised her eyebrows, picked up a bunch of tuna bells and walked over. The red squirrel immediately shrank into the haystack. After Xia Qing put the food he wanted into the cage, the red squirrel immediately hugged a string of chun bells as tall as itself and dragged it into the haystack.

After finding that he couldn't drag it in, the little guy started to break the small bells one by one, skillfully peeled off the hard outer skin, and ate the toona seeds inside.

 Seeing this scene, Xia Qing's confidence in using toon to cultivate toon buds increased.

She was still thinking before that, if the seeds of the green toon tree could germinate, why it produced so many toon seeds every year but not many toon seedlings. Even if the sheep boss likes to eat, it is impossible to eat all the toona seedlings all over the mountain.

Now she understood: Most of the seeds produced by this toon tree were eaten by this red squirrel.

Xia Qing was pulling the toon seeds drying on the balcony while chatting with the red squirrel in the cage eating toon seeds, "You are just a rat with no home and no job. Do you store so much food every year, or have you noticed it?" It will be very cold this winter, so why store so much?”

The red squirrel was sitting on the hay, deftly peeling toon seeds with its little paws and stuffing them into its mouth. It had no time to pay attention to Xia Qing. To be more precise, it couldn't understand what Xia Qing was saying at all. It could only feel that this human being had no ill intentions towards it, so it dared to sit in the cage and eat as much as possible to replenish the energy it had lost in the past two days after being injured. and energy.

After Xia Qing finished drying, he turned around and asked, "How old are you this year? The sheep boss is only over a year old, so you're probably not that old either, right?"

The red squirrel noticed Xia Qing staring at it, its big tail immediately became furry, and it hid in the hay holding two tuna bells.

Xia Qing was happy. He opened the door of the cage and took out the red squirrel hiding in the hay. Ignoring its squeaking, he held it down with one hand and untied the bandage on its abdomen with the other to check the wound on its abdomen. .

When the sheep boss and the sick wolf heard the noise, they all ran to the second floor to watch. Xia Qing no longer emphasized that they were not allowed to go upstairs. He said hello and continued to check the red squirrel's wounds.

As expected of an evolutionary animal native to the evolutionary forest, red squirrels have very good recovery capabilities. Xia Qing applied topical medicine to sterilize and reduce swelling, put a bandage on it, and opened the window on the second floor.

“Go ahead, your wound is not infected with severe evolutionary bacteria, and it will be completely healed in three or two days.”

The moment Xia Qing opened his hand, the red squirrel jumped out of Xia Qing's palm almost instantly and ran away quickly. But what surprised Xia Qing was that the red squirrel did not escape to the squirrel hole in the third area of ​​No. 49 Mountain, but plunged into the sheep shed and got into the haystack.

Xia Qing watched for a while and then asked the sick wolf who was standing next to him, "Second brother, the grass in the sheep shed is prepared for the winter for you two. The red squirrel won't urinate in it, right?"

Sick Wolf raised his head and looked at Xia Qing, with a simple look on his face.

The sheep boss is squinting to study how to open the refrigerator. He is more interested in the food in the refrigerator than what is happening in the sheep shed.

Xia Qing closed the window and turned around to see the sheep boss studying the refrigerator. He told him, "Don't look at it, boss. It's full of python meat. You don't like to eat it."

Of the more than 500 kilograms of python meat left by Xia Qing, only a small amount was made into dried meat, and most of it was frozen and stored in the storage room and refrigerator. Zhang San said that one hundred kilograms of meat would be enough for her, and Xia Qing began to think about how to maximize the value of the extra hundred kilograms of meat.
