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

Especially exposed hands and soles are the focus of attention. Xiang Chi felt uneasy and poured alcohol into the basin. Everyone washed their hands before it was over.

The whole yard smelled of alcohol disinfectant. Both Xiang Chi and Xu Xiaobao were so smoked that they sneezed.

For safety reasons, everyone took off their shoes when entering the house, and Xiang Chi sprayed them all with alcohol spray.

One year before the high temperature started, everyone had just experienced the new crown virus, so they were all familiar with various disinfection procedures and preventive measures.

Just as a precaution, the whole family didn't eat anything and took action again, disinfecting the inside and outside of the bungalow.

In the end, the whole room was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol. Xiang Chi sent Han Dongdong and Xu Xiaobao into the space long ago, fearing that the children wouldn't be able to bear it.

Xiang Chi covered his nose, thinking that no one would be able to stay in this room for a while anyway, so he led everyone into the space.

Smelling the fresh air in the space, not only Xiang Chi but also Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

We can just have dinner in the space, and Xu Ma will cook, and Xiang Ma will help.

Dad Xiang and Xu couldn't sit still at this moment and hurriedly went to see the medicinal materials.

Xu Ge suddenly remembered that Xu Tao had been driving outside, and quickly asked him if he had seen the suspected patient.

Xu Tao thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"Those of us who drive usually drive alone. According to my observation, I haven't found any. If there is, it is more likely to be in the team of manual shovels..."

Xu Tao is now responsible for transporting the collected silt to the crop fields in the south of the city. The troops built a temporary silt dam there to solidify and separate the silt.

Every day when Xu Tao and the others go to work, they just get the car keys and then drive, drive, drive. Lunch was two pieces of cornmeal pancakes given out when I got my keys in the morning. After the meal, I continued driving...

I would drive the car to the south of the city when I got off work in the evening, and then I would be done as soon as I handed over the car keys.

When I work every day, except for chatting with my colleagues about daily life in the morning and evening, I don't have contact with other people at all. Only on the way to the site can we see people shoveling mud from a distance.

At this moment, Xu Tao carefully thought about his experiences in the past few days, and suddenly thought of something.

"I didn't pay attention before, but I often heard coughing on the way to the car. I thought it was because the weather was getting colder and those people had caught a cold. Could it be..."

Xu Ge nodded solemnly.

"Almost the same..."

Xu Tao stood up in horror and covered his mouth.

"Then...what if, I am infected..."

Xu Ge smiled when he saw Xu Tao's face turning pale with fright.

"Don't scare yourself. You haven't driven for two days. You have been working on the greenhouse for the past two days. If you were infected, you would already have symptoms. Look at you. Do you have any cough or chest tightness?"

Xu Tao's fearful mind was in a mess, mainly because he was afraid of infecting Han Dongdong and his children, and if Xiang Chi and the others were infected, he would really have no way to atone for his sins even if he died.

Upon hearing Xu Ge's analysis, his rationality finally returned. He breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest exaggeratedly.

"It scared me to death, the hair on my hair stood on end!"

Xu Tao rubbed his arms and quickly poured himself a glass of hot water to calm his shock.

Putting down the cup, Xu Tao said seriously:

"From what the soldier said, it seems that this pneumonia is very scary. We should not go out during the next period of time and self-isolate at home."

Xu Ge tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Since the greenhouse has already promised, we can't let things slip at the critical moment. If we don't go, Xiao Wei will definitely be too busy by himself."

Xu Tao also thought of this and clicked his tongue.

"This is troublesome..."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ge said:

"Someone has to go to the greenhouse, but we don't have to go all of us. Four people are enough. From tomorrow on, I will take Xiao Chi, my father and my mother to the greenhouse. At this end of the house, we have to rely on is you."

Xu Tao wanted to say that he would go out too, but then he thought about it, the old and the young at home would not be at ease without him. He swallowed his words again.

Xiang Chi definitely had to go out. If there was any emergency outside, they could quickly enter the space to escape.

Since Xiang Ma fell into the water, her body has not recovered. Although the work in the greenhouse is not particularly tiring, it requires concentration. After a whole day, the mental fatigue is also very draining.

It’s also good to take advantage of this time to take a good rest and regain your strength.

Dad Xiang is proficient in pharmacology, and he is a man, which is also a guarantee.

Xu Tao thought about it and felt that this allocation was really just right.

Considering that hanging around outside a few times would increase the risk, Xu Ge decided that they would not come back easily in the following days until the one-month period expired.

As soon as Xu Ge and Xu Tao discussed the matter, Xu's mother asked everyone to have dinner.

Use the walkie-talkie to call everyone back, and everyone started to eat. When they were almost done eating, Xu Ge told him what he had discussed with Xu Tao.

Xiang Dad, who was eating, paused and said:

"Let Lao Xu stay and I will follow you out."

Xu Ge was a little confused. Before he could say anything, he continued to his father:

"Just do as I say. Your dad's tenosynovitis has relapsed in the past few days, so he just takes this opportunity to take a good rest."

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi didn't even know.

"Dad, do you have tenosynovitis? Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiang Chi asked with concern.

Father Xu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Oh, this is an old problem of mine. Just take some anti-inflammatory medicine and it will be fine. It's not a big deal, so I didn't tell you. I'm fine here, so I'd better go."

As a doctor, Dad Xiang hates it when his patients don't take their illness seriously. Hearing this, he glared at Father Xu.

"It's okay, it's okay. I see that sometimes you can't straighten your thumb. Let me tell you, Chinese medicine is most taboo about a minor illness turning into a serious illness if it is not treated! You have to use your hands all the time to work in the greenhouse, don't you? If you recover well, you’ll be fine in no time!”

In the end, Dad Xu was jointly suppressed by Dad Xiang and Xu Ge Xiangchi, and he stayed at home. Dad Xiang followed him out instead.

Considering that they might not come back for ten days and a half this time, Xiang Chi thought that he had to leave enough supplies for his family, especially disinfectant and protective clothing.

After eating, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge went to the storage room and started ordering goods.

After taking down a box of disinfectant, Xiang Chi suddenly said something.

"Husband, do you think the virus this time is an ancient virus released by melting glaciers?"

Xu Ge, who was bending down to work, paused, clapped his hands twice and stood up straight.

"I think what you said makes sense."
