Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

Dancheng's Radio and Television Center is built in the west of the city. It is a twin-tower-shaped building with more than ten floors, consisting of two buildings at the front and back. On the roof of the taller building, a steel antenna tower was erected.

By this time the water level had dropped, exposing part of the antenna tower. The two of them came out once in the middle of the night, thinking they would come out during the day to check on the situation.

Xu Ge controlled the motorboat and drove towards the TV tower. It stopped about ten meters away from the antenna tower.

"Just stop here..."

Looking at the turbid water, Xu Ge sighed.

Xiang Chi looked at the debris floating on the water, and there was even a humanoid object that looked like a corpse not far away with mixed emotions.

It was no longer raining, there was not even a cloud in the sky, and the big sun was not blocked by anything. The sunlight shone down, bringing a touch of warmth, warmth but not scorching heat.

This flood not only took away the lives of many people, but also seemed to take away the long-lasting high temperature.

Although the sun is shining brightly, it is not too hot. If you ignore the chaotic water surface, it gives people a sense of tranquility.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi looked around. Except for the two of them, there was no sign of any living people.

Just as the two were about to enter the space, there was a sound of flapping wings. Xiang Chi curiously turned his head to look for the source of the sound, only to find that a black and white bird had landed on the humanoid thing that seemed to be a corpse.

"Where did the birds come from? I didn't expect that there are still birds after it's been hot for so long..."

Xu Ge also saw it.

"Animals have always had keener senses than humans. Maybe they flew to a place with a lower temperature before, but now the temperature is normal and they have flown back."

"Oh, it's possible..."

Just as he was talking, a few more birds landed on the floating object. Before Xiang Chi could say anything else, several birds stretched out their heads and picked up a piece of flesh and swallowed it.

Xiang Chi closed his mouth instantly and looked at each other with Xu Ge.

Xiang Chi turned pale and covered his mouth. He couldn't hold it in for a long time and spit it out with a "Wow" sound.

Xu Ge quickly went over and patted Xiang Chi on the back several times.

After Xiang Chi recovered, Xu Ge started the motorboat and walked farther. Because it was calm today, the vomit that Xiang Chi had just vomited in the water was always next to their motorboat. It was really... a little disgusting.

Xiang Chi finally came to his senses and complained:

"This crow...is so disgusting...it even eats carrion!"

Xu Ge looked back again. said:

"Crows do eat carrion, but these are not crows, they should be magpies."

Xiang Chi was shocked.

"What!? That's a magpie???"

The sound was so loud that the magpies flew away in fright. It hovered in the air for a while and then landed on the "corpse".

"Yes, it's a magpie. Crows are all black. Look at those ones. They have a streak of white on their tails. They are a type of magpie."

Xiang Chi stared.

"But isn't the magpie a bird that announces good news? The sound of a magpie tut-tutting is like the folk saying of a good news..."

Looking at the magpie that was still pecking at carrion, Xiang Chi felt that the beautiful filter he had held about magpies was shattered on the floor.

Xu Ge looked at Xiang Chi, whose face was wrinkled and smiled, and continued to explain.

"Magpies not only eat carrion, but they are also harmful to birds. Although they also eat pests, they prefer to harm crops. On the contrary, crows do some harm to seedlings and grains when they prey on pests, but during the breeding period, they eat more Locusts and various moths are generally beneficial.”

After a pause, Xu Ge continued:

"Moreover, crows are birds that strictly observe lifelong monogamy, and the crows will not leave their parents when they reach adulthood, but will take care of their parents in turn, so there is a saying of 'crows feed back'."

Xiang Chi listened with great interest.

"That's it...I always thought crows were a bad symbol."

Xu Ge smiled slightly and said nothing more.

In fact, Xiang Chi's concept is also the concept of the public. Since ancient times, people have liked magpies rather than crows, simply because magpies have a pleasant call and their feathers are black and white. On the other hand, crows have a hoarse cry and are completely black. The most important thing is that crows have a high IQ and can observe human behavior, avoid some dangers and find food. This intelligence also makes people wary of and disgusted with crows.

Seeing that Xiangchi was no longer feeling uncomfortable, the two of them observed the changes in the water level for a while before returning to space.

This adventure of going out during the day was not fruitless. The appearance of magpies proved that some birds had flown back. The return of flying birds proves that the high temperature has completely passed. At least the recent temperature should be within a normal range.

In the next few days, the sun rises and sets again. The whole family lives a busy and fulfilling life every day.

After harvesting the grain, sowing began again. Now not only Xiang Chi couldn't bear to see the field empty, but also several old people and Han Dongdong and Xu Tao were addicted to farming.

After harvesting rice and corn, looking at the empty black land, Dad Xiang and Dad Xu were already thinking about what to plant.

Because there were not many medicinal materials grown before, and the growth cycle of medicinal materials is relatively long, Dad Xiang had already planned to plant more than half of the medicinal materials after harvesting this batch of grain.

Plague is most likely to occur after a flood. The Chinese and Western medicines they prepared are enough, but no one thinks it’s too much at this time.

So I made a list with my dad, planning in detail what to plant, how much of each medicinal material to plant, where to plant it, etc.

In order to prevent the plague, this time it is planned to plant isatis root, parsnip, astragalus, honeysuckle, licorice, platycodon and other Chinese medicinal materials that can improve the body's immunity, or clear away heat, detoxify, and fight viruses.

Among them, honeysuckle can be intercropped with other medicinal materials, but Platycodon, Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes macrocephala cannot be intercropped, so Dad Xiang put these three medicinal materials at the end.

Honeysuckle is placed between farmland and fruit trees. Honeysuckle is a medicinal material with strong vitality and strong adaptability. It can not only be interplanted with medicinal materials in the field, but also interplanted in the forest.

The whole family went into battle together, and within less than a day, the black soil in the space was filled with various medicinal materials.

Because of the high yield of vegetables, Xiang Chi only planted a few fields along the edge of the land in the small yard and farm near the wooden house.

While Xiang's father, Xu's father, and Xu Ge went to plant medicinal materials, Xiang Chi and Han Dongdong went to collect vegetables.

Han Dongdong pulled out a juicy cabbage and chewed the freshly pulled out carrot.

This time I am growing a kind of fruit radish. When I first bought it, the owner of the seed shop gave me a lot of extra seeds as a gift.

There are only about fifty seeds in a small packet.

When Xiang Chi was digging for seeds a few days ago, he dug out this packet of seeds and planted twenty trees.

It was ripe today. Xiang Chi took a bite and found it surprisingly delicious.
