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

Just after spring, the fish eggs laid will hatch, and the fish pond is now full of swarms of small fry, just in time to feed the little swan geese that are only a few days old.

Zhao Yeqing didn't stop him. Whether it was due to the good water quality or the grape vines covering his head, the fish pond at home couldn't eat it without any management.

All you need to do every year is to clean up some duck droppings from time to time to avoid excessive bacteria when the temperature rises.

After reducing the time for ducks to go into the water every day, the frequency of cleaning the fish pond has also slowed down a lot. Cleaning the fish pond once a month is completely enough. Mu Xi also smiled and said: "What if we didn't find any livestock at the beginning?" , now just raising fish is enough for us to eat.”

The only pity is that the farmed fish is not as delicious as the fish caught from the lake.

Mu Xi went out to graze herds today, while Zhao Yeqing sat under the small thatched shed next to the grain field, watching over the ducks, with his legs crossed and his feet dangling in the air.

Last time I saw no signs of wolf activity on the meadow, and even the cameras placed around the wooden fence did not see any wolves, so I tried to drive the cattle and sheep outside to graze, otherwise the family would not be able to do this. If you continue to eat the place, you will be eaten naked.

But I didn't dare to go too far, so I just wandered outside the wall. I would try to go outside after a few days to make sure there was no danger.

During the time when it rained in the spring, the grassland gradually became denser. Only half a month later, it became visibly bald. This was actually because there were too many livestock and too much food.

Especially cattle. One cow eats as much as several sheep.

Zhao Yeqing is planning to kill a cow this year. Last year, the cow did not give birth to calves. Now there are still four cows at home. Killing one and keeping three will save a lot of silage at home.

I haven’t eaten beef for a long time. The pork from the pigs killed during the Chinese New Year is still in the freezer area. I don’t know when it will be freed up for beef. Even if it is all freed up, it probably won’t be enough.

You have to go to the tourist area to move a freezer specifically for freezing.

When the two of them came back from making tiles and other things, they moved back many things that might be useful, as well as things that were difficult to move and place, and they were all concentrated in one house, including the freezer.

Zhao Yeqing also brought a freezer back. Zhao Yeqing had already planned it, so he didn’t need to make any more preparations. After driving all the ducks and swan geese in the pond back to the yard, he drove out and said something to Mu Xi outside. Just prepare to go directly to the tourist area.

Mu Xi was worried that she was alone, "There were no wolves nearby. Maybe they went to the tourist area like the previous group of jackals? The high altitude there is more suitable for them to survive. It's not safe for you to go alone. You have to take two dogs with you no matter what.”

Mu Xi forced Dahuang and Xiaohei, who had the strongest combat capabilities, into the back seat.

All the way to the tourist area, there is less grass here than near home.

The forest not far from the tourist area is the forest where the two often go to carry gasoline. The grass nearby is not as sparse as here.

When they were approaching the tourist area, Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Mu Xi's guess was only half correct. The people coming here were not wolves but deer.

Compared to wolves, many species of deer in meadows prefer the natural environment at high altitudes.

The current climate that is very inconsistent with the previous one has probably tortured them for a long time. This year's overly obvious rainforest climate has slowed down a lot. Near the tourist area, you can clearly feel the temperature changes that are somewhat similar to those in the two years after the earthquake. Low.

A light mist flows over the tourist area and into the forest beyond.

Is it going to rain again?

The last time I went to refill gasoline, I had never seen such thick fog, and I had not seen cumulus clouds in the sky for the past two days.

You have to be careful, otherwise the golden wheat may rot in the rain, so you can rest assured that it will all be cut tomorrow.

The biological succession in the past two years has been rapid, and the growth rate of plants has increased significantly. When Zhao Yeqing saw this tourist area that he had not visited for a long time, he felt as if he had seen ancient ruins.

The wooden buildings that were originally collapsed and moldy due to earthquakes and rainwater are now covered with moss. The thickness of the moss is more than two fingers thick. Under the cover of the mist, it looks hazy, like an abandoned building. Centennial relics.

Some of the wildly growing weeds have reached as high as the yard walls, covering most of the original gray-white mottled walls. Grasses that are not that tall are also densely covering the ground of the tourist area, and even the cement floors are covered with powerful tree species. Struggling to break through.

When Zhao Yeqing drove in, he had an illusory feeling of not being in another dimension.

In addition to looking the sturdiest, the room the two chose to put their things in also had a higher foundation and would not be so damp, and the floors and walls were not made of ceramic tiles.

Unused electrical appliances are most afraid of moisture. If you don't choose a better house, otherwise if there are some cracks in the wall, the electrical appliances placed inside may be damaged by moisture when you return to Nantian.

The freezer was only used to store meat and needed to save electricity. Zhao Yeqing had already picked it and put it in the house. He used the small trolley used by the small supermarket in the tourist area to pull it to the side of the car and moved it with all his strength. Just go up there.

After the freezer was moved home, it was placed next to the washing machine in the brick wall space. It was just outside the kitchen for easy access to meat. There was also a power strip for the washing machine next to it. But now that the freezer is not in use, it must be turned off.

The earliest solar panels used for power supply at home were still placed in the yard. The electricity converted every day was enough to cover most of the electricity expenses, including lights, refrigerators, washing machines, and small kitchen appliances. If they were also turned on, it would not be enough, and a generator would have to be used. .

Zhao Yeqing calculated at the beginning that according to the current climate conditions, this solar energy could save his family dozens of liters of gasoline a year.

The wind blew a bit of coolness in the evening. It seemed that the southeasterly wind of the past few days had gradually turned into an easterly wind today. Zhao Yeqing recalled the mist he saw today——

Early the next morning, Zhao Yeqing picked up the harvester and went to the fields to clean up, cutting down all the golden wheat.

It's faster if you have a machine, but it takes half a day to finish harvesting, and the rest of the work is threshing. There's no way to be lazy and you have to do it manually.

After threshing, it had to be dried in the sun. Zhao Yeqing called Mu Xi to thresh the wheat quickly and took advantage of the good weather to dry it quickly. The corn had to wait until it was threshed before it could be broken.

But unexpectedly, in just one day, something happened in the cornfield.
