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

Mu Xi didn't need to say anything, Zhao Yeqing had already run back the moment he saw the mountain move.

Below Mu Xi is an 'isolated island' separated by two earth fissures. Even if the entire mountain next door landslides, it will not affect him. At most, he can run a few steps to the gas station to avoid damaging the cliff on their side. The vibration there caused the rock to fall and get hit.

But Zhao Yeqing is different. She is up here. Maybe the landslide will be accompanied by vibrations. If she is still standing on the edge of the cliff, she will easily fall if she is not careful. In serious cases, the rock and soil on the edge of the cliff may be unstable. Collapse.

Zhao Yeqing's running skills were already perfect, and he stopped only when he reached the edge of the swamp.

The slight vibration under his feet continued, and Zhao Yeqing could no longer see the situation. He could only take out the walkie-talkie and ask Mu Xi: "How is it? Hasn't it stopped yet?"

Mu Xi saw that the originally 90-degree cliff not far away had slid down and turned into a 45-degree slope.

"It should stop soon."

What the two people were originally worried about did not happen. Except for a few small rocks falling on the cliff, there were no landslides or collapses.

When Zhao Yeqing returned to the cliff, he was also frightened by the scene in front of him, "This big slope...how could it suddenly slide?"

"Do you still remember the heavy rain that lasted for a long time a few years ago? There were landslides in the forest of birch trees."

"Remember, wasn't that caused by the continuous heavy rain?"

Mu Xi had already filled the tank with gasoline and walked back to the bottom of the cliff and said:

"Yes, but I suspect it has something to do with the previous ground fissures. In the winter after the ground fissures, there were several earthquakes after the snow melted. At that time, I suspected that there were still small gaps in the earth's crust..."

He looked up at the slope and cliff next to him: "Last year's rainy season continued. After a year of soaking in the sun, the soil dried into fine particles and was already loose. It started to rain again in the past few days. This is probably what caused the problem. It’s a landslide.”

Zhao Yeqing stomped lightly on the edge of the cliff a few times. Hearing Mu Xi say that the gasoline barrel had been tied up, he slowly pulled the barrel up.

When Mu Xi also returned to the cliff, he untied the rope from his body and said, "When the geological structure over there becomes more stable, we will go over there and have a look. We may be able to walk down the slope."

There is a mountain wall between the cliff where the gas station is located and the slope. To get there, you can only walk from the top.

It’s definitely not worth watching now, everything is unstable just after the landslide.

The two of them carried the gasoline back. Zhao Yeqing thought about the geographical location there and asked, "If we go down there, will we just cross the crack in the ground on the right side of the gas station?"

Mu Xi nodded and put the gasoline can in front of the electric car: "Do you remember the direction of the Yi village we talked about before? It's over there."

When Zhao Yeqing wanted to pick tea fruits and come back to squeeze tea oil and get tea leaves to wash his hair, he thought of the ethnic minorities there who are famous for their long hair. The rice water that has been fermented several times is also a recipe there.

But just like the birch forest where the landslide occurred, the two of them didn't go back to that forest for nearly a year. Now they don't dare to go there after the landslide for a while. They have to wait at least a few months before doing anything.

The two of them thought it was just an ordinary landslide, but when they drove home and saw a herd of elephants on the meadow, they realized something was wrong.

Mu Xi stepped on the accelerator, and the car arrived at the door of his house in just a few minutes.

I found that it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the dogs at home had already brought the cattle and sheep back to the yard gate to wait.

I don’t know why, but these cattle and sheep don’t dare to move around, and none of them runs into the grain fields.

After Zhao Yeqing got off the car, he quickly stepped forward and opened the courtyard door. Mu Xi parked the car directly outside the backyard fence. Now that the original parking space inside had become a manure fermentation greenhouse, the car could only park outside.

Both of them entered the yard and found that the clothes originally hung on the clothesline in the yard had fallen to the ground, and some things on the shelves had also fallen to the ground.

"Is it possible that the shaking just now was not just caused by a landslide?"

Zhao Yeqing picked up the clothes and handed them to Mu Xi to wash again: "It should be so. At that time, our attention was attracted by the falling rocks. We were afraid that the landslide started after the earthquake."

Mu Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, put the clothes in his hands into Zhao Yeqing's arms, ran out quickly, lifted the electric scooter from the back compartment, got on it and headed down the mountain path.

"I'll be back in a moment."

Zhao Yeqing was confused and took the clothes to be washed again. Before he finished washing, he saw Mu Xi coming back, holding a banana tree rhizome in his hand. There were many seedlings on the stem.

"I thought this monkey was very smart and would have hid when the earthquake hit. I ran to the banana tree and saw that there were no monkeys. This gave me a chance."

Zhao Yeqing was also convinced. How could he even think of digging banana tree roots at this time?

However, after all the digging was done, Mu Xi cut the rhizome into three small pieces. Zhao Yeqing quickly took out the previously stored plant ash and applied it on the incisions of the rhizome to disinfect it to prevent it from rotting, mold, or bugs.

Mu Xi took the rhizome to the citrus tree in the backyard, dug three holes and planted the rhizome.

The seedling eyes on the rhizome pieces were facing upward. After covering them with soil, they poured enough water. Zhao Yeqing took a handful of hay, trampled the soil on top, and then covered it with hay.

Although the weather is rainy now, bananas are not afraid of it. Covering it with hay can reduce the evaporation of water from the soil.

It has been more than a year since the citrus tree next to it was transplanted into the yard. The original bald citrus tree has now completely recovered, growing green leaves. The crown is also nearly 1.5 meters wide, and its height is almost over the yard. wall.

It seems that this year the two of them should be able to enjoy the fruit.

The citrus is edible, but the bananas, which are planted now, will probably take a year to grow, and they won’t start bearing fruit until this time next year.

The watermelon harvest last year was the best in recent years, and so were the strawberries.

There are still a lot of sweet potatoes planted last year this year, and the pasture is also growing vigorously. Zhao Yeqing thought about not planting sweet potatoes in the vegetable garden, and planned to plant fruits instead.

The stolons grown from the strawberry plants in the greenhouse in the courtyard were fixed into the soil and waited for them to take root and sprout. The watermelons planted last year died after eating the last one.

This year we have to re-plant seedlings.

Zhao Yeqing has not cultivated fruit and vegetable seedlings alone for a long time. Since the climate has improved, the fruits and vegetables grown at home have been sown directly into the ground, and then thinned out after they grow.

This planting method is more trouble-free, but the condition of the plants will not be as strong as that of individual seedlings. Usually, pepper tomatoes are not so particular, they can win by quantity, and they have rich planting experience.

This is not the case with watermelons. Strictly speaking, last year was the first real success in planting. Now we have to be more cautious when planting large quantities for the first time.

After the soybeans are harvested and the watermelons mature, a jar of Henan-specific watermelon and soybean paste can be made.
