Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Once the bayberry soup has cooled down a bit, cover it and put it in the freezer.

In the freezer, it only takes half an hour for the still warm bayberry soup to be completely cold.

Zhao Yeqing picked two mint leaves from the vegetable garden, patted them lightly with his palms and put them into the iced bayberry soup.

She was patrolling the large vegetable garden with a bowl of iced bayberry soup. The chickens wandering outside were relatively obedient. After chasing them a few times, they did not insist on getting into her shed. She drove the chickens back later and opened the shed.

Recently, they need pollination. The peppers and eggplants are growing better and have a lot of flowers.

The tomato was still a little thin, so Zhao Yeqing paid special attention to it.

Maybe it was because the weather was getting hotter and she watered a little more frequently. The tomato seedlings were a little leggy and looked quite tall, but the main stem was thin and long.

After Zhao Yeqing removed two leaves from the bottom of the tomato seedling, he laid the branch down and buried the lower part with soil.

There are small white fluffs on the tomato stems, and some even have small white bulges. Roots can grow from these places, and they can take root as long as they are buried in the soil.

There were also many side branches of the peppers, and Zhao Yeqing pinched them off one by one.

Avoid direct sunlight and wait until it gets dark before watering them all.

Zhao Yeqing prepared to go out early the next morning when the sky was still gray to see how the rabbit trap was doing.

Rabbits like to be active at night. If they are caught and not taken away in time, if they encounter a fox or an eagle, they will become dinner.

Unfortunately, when we got there, we saw that some of the food at the entrance of the cave had been eaten and the trap was triggered, but there wasn't even a single rabbit hair on it.

Zhao Yeqing checked at the entrance of the cave and found that the traces at the entrance did not look like rabbits, but more like bamboo rats.

It was a rat that was thirty to forty centimeters long, about the same size as a rabbit. Its eyes were small mung bean eyes, and its mouth was not as long as that of ordinary mice. Its mouth was short and round. She felt that the bamboo rat had an upturned nose. It has a nose that looks like a pig, so when I was a kid, I always called the bamboo rat a pig rat.

Many people like to catch bamboo rats and eat them, saying they taste like duck meat.

But she thinks bamboo rats are quite cute and is reluctant to eat them.

Maybe because there is a large piece of Guanyin bamboo next to it, there are bamboo rats.

Zhao Yeqing didn't believe that he couldn't catch a rabbit yet, so he wandered around the grass looking for rabbit holes.

This is rabbit's favorite terrain.

At the junction with the forest on the other side, Zhao Yeqing finally discovered several holes connected together.

It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and she felt that this was definitely a rabbit hole that had not escaped.

After making several traps and placing them at each hole entrance, she finally caught three little rabbits on the third day.

One gray and two white.

The gray one is a female rabbit, and the two white ones are male.

Zhao Yeqing kept them in the bamboo cage where the chickens were packed when he bought them.

There is a circular hole on the bamboo cage with a lid that can be opened to feed food.

Zhao Yeqing got his wish and began to plan his own rabbit farm.

Because rabbits can burrow, they cannot be raised directly on the land.

Zhao Yeqing planned to mix the remaining cement and lay a cement floor to raise rabbits.

There are a few bags of cement left, which is more than enough to pave a small area.

Rabbits are not heat-resistant, so Zhao Yeqing marked a piece of land outside the outer wall behind the house, pulled out the grass on the ground, compacted the soil, and then covered it with cement.

It is surrounded by thick wooden boards, hoping it will last a long time and not be chewed up in a few days.

The surrounding wooden walls must be one meter high. She has seen rabbits before that can jump fifty or sixty centimeters high. The wooden board is one meter, so it should be impossible to jump out.

Zhao Yeqing also used the leftover scraps to make a food trough, and used an old stainless steel bowl as the sink.

The rabbits were obviously wary after being thrown in. They stayed motionless while Zhao Yeqing put food and water for them.

When Zhao Yeqing went to see it again the next morning, several rabbits were already jumping around.

In order to see the scene of rabbits and carrots, Zhao Yeqing found carrot seeds from the seed pile and sprinkled them in the potato and sweet potato area.

Then we officially changed the label from the potato and sweet potato section to the root section.

December 3033, 6

It has been two months since she returned to the mountains, and one and a half months since the earthquake began.

In addition to the sound on the radio that asked people to wait for rescue when the ground cracked at the beginning, it finally had a different sound today.

'Orange high temperature warning issued: Relevant departments and units, in accordance with their duties, take emergency measures to prevent heatstroke and cooling at rescue points, stop outdoor reconstruction and open-air operations, and take protective measures for the elderly, weak, sick and young. Relevant departments and units should pay special attention to fire prevention. '

Zhao Yeqing listened with his ears, sprinkled the chicken feed in his hand in the yard, and watched a group of silly chickens running over and pecking at the ground.

An orange high temperature warning means that the temperature will rise above 37 degrees within a day.

The temperature in the mountains is relatively low, nearly ten degrees lower on average, and now it's about 27 or 8 degrees.

Temperatures like this are indeed unusual in early June.

There have only been a few such abnormal high temperature situations in the past century, and they were all El Niño phenomena. I don’t know if it will be this year. Every time El Niño occurs, our country has not been affected by excessive high temperatures.

Because every time El Niño starts raining, flooding occurs everywhere.

If this is the case this year, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.

Zhao Yeqing was wondering if he should explore a way out. Even if he didn't go out for the time being, it would give him one more choice.

She climbed up the mountain and onto the observation tower, scanning the other side of the crack.

Stretching upward from the road, there is a clear shadow in that area, which should be caused by the collapse of the nearby land.

The further you go into the mountains, the less shadow there is.

In other words, it is not necessarily impossible to get out.

But as far as she could see, the place where the shadows diminished or disappeared was already an unknown number of kilometers away.

At least 30 kilometers away...

She didn't have the courage. Not to mention anything else, when she cut pine oil last time, the traces left by the black blind man stopped her from running into that forest again.

What's more, there are far more beasts in the mountains than this bear.

Zhao Yeqing turned his gaze towards the direction of the town, unable to see the details clearly. It seemed to be no different from when the disaster first struck, and it seemed to be even more deserted.

They are in a mountainous area. After the disaster, the officials will definitely move people to the county. Rescue in the mountains is too difficult, and material transportation is also a big problem.

Before Zhao Yeqing went home, he stopped by to see if there was anything unusual at the spring.

As soon as I walked nearby, I heard some unusual sounds coming from the grass...

"Meow..." The voice was soft and soft, and a little sticky.

Zhao Yeqing:? ? ? what? ?

Where did the little milk cat come from in the mountains?
