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

The three leopards would not panic for no reason. It must be the darkness outside that scared them too.

Mu Xi also turned on the lights in the courtyard, but the light bulbs that usually seemed very bright seemed to be swallowed up by the light. The courtyard was still bright, but once the light passed through the courtyard wall, it could no longer get out. .

It was like turning on a flashlight in the dark depths of the sea, with extremely low visibility.

Zhao Yeqing murmured: "How dark is this..."

Mu Xi took the feed to the basement to feed, but the animals below were not affected at all. They were eating and sleeping when they should, and were completely unaware of everything outside.

This made Mu Xi breathe a sigh of relief. It is said that animals have the ability to predict danger. The strange behavior of the leopard at home today frightened both of them.

Now it seems that there must be some reason why the sky does not light up.

After feeding the livestock, he went out to take the food into the house and turned off the lights in the yard.

It was dark again outside the window.

There are now four dogs, three leopards and two people in the house looking at each other.

Fortunately, dogs are easier to feed and can eat meat. Clouded leopards are also small leopards and don’t eat much. After thawing ten pounds of raw meat, after cutting it up and feeding one piece, it can survive the day.

The two of them ate breakfast absentmindedly, not daring to leave the house, so they waited in the house.

From morning until night, there was no light at all.

"Are there too many dark clouds in the sky?"

Zhao Yeqing couldn't figure out the reason. It couldn't be Ji Ye, right?

Where does the geographical location of their place come from?

Polar night and polar day generally appear in the Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle, the highest latitude places. Generally, when the Antarctic is polar night, the polar nights at both ends will be polar day, and vice versa.

I have never heard of extreme day and night occurring anywhere else.

Mu Xi glanced at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. He held Zhao Yeqing's hand and rubbed it a few times, then comforted him: "Don't worry, maybe if you sleep now, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yeqing nodded, barely suppressed his random thoughts, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

But the situation was not as optimistic as Mu Xi said. The dark night outside the window was like a big invisible hand, pinching the emotions of the two of them, making them feel breathless for no reason.

Zhao Yeqing watched Mu Xizheng chopping the air-dried chicken, the thick wooden cutting board being chopping loudly. He put his chin on his hand and said, "I'm afraid it won't be bright again in a short time." .”

This darkness has lasted for ten days. It is now twelve o'clock at noon, but there is no light in the sky outside.

Regardless of the reason for the arrival of the polar night, judging from the current situation, this phenomenon should continue for a long time.

The two of them are now extremely lucky to have found the generator before, otherwise the polar night has arrived and there is no light at all. They can't even turn on the lights at home and have to light candles.

In recent days, not only has there been no light, the wind has stopped blowing outside, and the snow has stopped falling.

The whole world seemed to have been put on pause that night, motionless and eerily quiet.

Zhao Yeqing closed the curtains and chose not to look at the darkness outside. It couldn't be changed anyway, so it was better to just eat and drink at home and stay alive.

Mu Xi chopped the dried chicken into pieces and soaked it in water.

This air-dried chicken is marinated in salt water and then hung to air-dry. It will be very salty when eaten without soaking.

After soaking the chicken, Mu Xi began to prepare rations for the four dogs.

The three leopards at home went out to hunt. Cats have night vision, and their eyesight at night is not weak. They may have been frightened that day, but after two days of adapting, they continued to hunt.

Judging from the fact that the three leopards were well fed when they came back, it should not be as bad as imagined. At least there are still animals moving around, otherwise the leopards would not be able to eat.

It was a good thing that this was the case, otherwise the meat at home would not be enough to sustain a few leopards through the winter, unless all the livestock at home were slaughtered.

Mu Xi prepared the dog food and turned over the soaked air-dried chicken pieces to continue soaking. Tonight, he would use the air-dried chicken to make soup and blanch some vegetables in it.

Zhao Yeqing put on his coat: "I'll pick it off."

She opened the door and walked out, turning on the flashlight on her phone, which only illuminated a small area under her feet.

Ahead was boundless darkness, with no sound of wind or insects, a silence as if one had been deafened.

Zhao Yeqing rubbed his arms. He still couldn't fully adapt to it during this period of time. He was so nervous when he went out.

She walked to the planting basement and opened the door. The light inside made her mood relax a little.

During this time, Mu Xi came to the basement to get the vegetables she wanted to eat. She hadn't come down for almost a week.

Several vegetables that were sown later were already mature. Zhao Yeqing planted a row of rapeseed flowers in the corner. This time, they were not used to save rapeseeds, but to be grown for eating.

There are already flower buds on them, and they can be picked and eaten as soon as the flowers bloom.

She patiently walked to the side and cut off the leeks that had bloomed. She happened to be free recently and was able to make leek flower sauce.

Even if there is an exhaust fan in the basement, it can still be a bit stuffy. In addition, there are no natural conditions, so the fruit and vegetable plants that grow are generally thin.

The two also moved in a fan, which is not very powerful. It is turned on for a period of time every day. The fan hanging on the top shakes its head and blows all over the basement, simulating the effect of outdoor wind and making the stems of plants stronger. .

If there is no fan, shaking the plant stems by hand can have the same effect, but it is too tiring. In contrast, Zhao Yeqing still chooses to waste a little bit of electricity.

Doing this can trick the plant into thinking that it is experiencing wind and rain, so it will concentrate its nutrients on the stem first, making itself stronger and preventing it from being blown over or broken.

However, it is still not as good as fruits and vegetables grown outdoors. Millets, peppers and the like have no effect, but tomatoes, eggplants and the like will have smaller fruits.

The current conditions are like this. It would be great to have something to eat.

Zhao Yeqing had previously pulled out the watermelon vines and planted winter melons. Now long vines had grown with flowers blooming on them. After Zhao Yeqing picked the male flowers to pollinate the female flowers, he continued to pollinate the strawberries with a brush.

As long as the temperature is right, the strawberries will continue to bear fruit.

It takes a long time for strawberries to grow from seeds. It is best to keep the seedlings alive for many years. If you want to multiply several plants, you can also use old seedlings to propagate new seedlings.

Generally speaking, when a strawberry seedling blooms on one side, a long stem will grow on the other side, which is the stolon of strawberry.

Choose a strawberry seedling with broad branches and leaves and many fruits as the mother plant. Press the stolons it grows into the soil, and new roots will grow from the stolons.
