The mountain fog is very thick in the morning. Standing on the second floor terrace and looking down, the visibility is no more than 20 meters. Meishan is surrounded by clouds and fog all year round. During the rainy season, the mountain is covered with evergreen broad-leaved forests and fir trees that look very vital.

This will be the quietest moment of the day in the mountains, probably because everyone is waiting for the favor of the morning sun, everything is quiet.

Zhao Yeqing was wearing a thick coat, munching fruit and holding a cup of freshly ground coffee, which was the American style engraved in the bones of Zao Baren.

As usual, she reported to Feng Chunyan that she was safe and greeted her best friend. She was relieved to learn that the community where he lived had been put under control and all the infected people had been cleared out.

Today's news seems to bring hope and despair to everyone. They found that after three violent days, the body functions of infected people will weaken independently, as if the body has been emptied by the virus, and finally become a mummy without blood. Currently, there is no drug. and means to control situations from occurring.

Countless people were saved safely, and countless people lost their loved ones.

There were various opinions on the cause of the virus, until someone counted the damage from the messy information and found that the most severely affected areas were similar to the most industrialized cities and the areas with the lowest forest coverage, and the floors were quickly flooded with replies.

Within half a day, officials took control of the industrial park, and citizens were prohibited from approaching the industrial zone within a five-kilometer radius of all cities.

Although there was no official announcement, netizens who had recovered their senses were still confused about this. In an instant, the forum was invaded by the anger of netizens from all over the world...

'Protect the environment, protect the environment! Things learned in kindergarten are really learned from the dog's belly! '

'Our community spontaneously convened to establish a small organization to protect the environment. We go to the streets to pick up garbage every day. We laugh to death because we can't finish it. '

'You guys who haven't shaken their brains, please go back to your golf course and eat mud! '

'The number of protected areas is decreasing every year. We move mountains to build factories, cut down forests to build cities, and seek development regardless of the consequences. Do we still have a life to spend the money we make? '

......

After exiting pyq's live broadcast, Zhao Yeqing looked at the mountain that his grandparents had protected for most of his life and sniffed.

How could there be so many natural disasters...

The time spent brushing up on my phone always flies by. Now the morning fog has half dissipated. I dug unfinished holes yesterday and have to continue today.

Zhao Yeqing went downstairs and pushed open the tool shed. He felt a sting in his hands. He looked up and saw a few soybean-sized blisters on his green-white hands. They must have been from cutting down trees yesterday.

I was afraid that it would break after digging a hole for a while, so I took out the Band-Aid, cut out a hole the size of the blister, and put medical cotton underneath so that the height is the same as the blister. After applying it, it will not be easy to break when working.

As usual, I put the ax on my back and carried the shovel. Today I plan to soak some organic fertilizer. I also brought a backpack with me to pick up some dead leaves before going out.

A deep pit was dug in the middle of the road, with a width of 40 centimeters left on the left and right sides to pass through. Some parasitic vines from the tree trunks were pulled over it and covered with some fallen leaves. It was still hidden unless you looked closely.

There are not many fallen leaves in this season. Most of the fallen leaves in autumn and winter turned into mud, which is also called humus soil. However, the temperature is low in winter and the surface layer has not yet completely decomposed. Zhao Yeqing found a few pine trees and dug out the brown soil on the surface. Black soil is exposed under six centimeters. Brown soil that is not mature is easy to burn the roots. Black rotten leaf soil means it is mature.

When I was young, my grandma said that soil with decomposed pine needles was better than other soil. Later, I grew vegetables on the balcony and dug in the woods on the outskirts of the city. I was curious and checked online, and I learned that pine needles are acidic and can improve soil quality.

There are no trees on the homestead, so there are not many fallen leaves, only a few that are blown by the mountain wind.

Carrying half a basket of rotten soil and dead leaves on his back, Zhao Yeqing took a detour to see if there were any fallen fruits under the wild loquat tree.

There are several old loquat trees that have grown for who knows how many years. The leaves are all large and dark green, and many of them are fresh green shoots that have just been taken out recently, showing their vigorous vitality. There are many fruits hanging on the branches. Zhao Yeqing picked two bunches of ripe ones, peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although the core of the fruit is larger than those bought in the city, the fruity aroma is rich and juicy, making it the best product you can't buy in a fruit shop.

Zhao Yeqing leaned under the tree and ate until he was half full. Then he lowered his head and threw the bad fruits that fell on the ground one by one into the basket on his back to take back as fertilizing material. When he had almost collected them, he didn't forget to pick another bunch before leaving.

Of course, fruits and vegetables should be eaten in season.

The kitchen waste generated in the past few days is collected nearby, including vegetable leaves, egg shells, fruit peels, and coffee grounds.

Zhao Yeqing took the largest pot and boiled a large pot of water and poured it on the rotten leaf soil to kill the insect eggs inside at high temperature. After rinsing, at noon, he spread a plastic sheet on the ground and sprinkled the soil on it to dry in the direct sunlight. Sunlighting allows the surviving adults to escape and kills eggs more effectively.

Take down the large cartons from upstairs that were packed for express delivery and make a simple compost bucket. Place the old plastic basin under the carton to catch the fertilizer liquid. Place the remaining hollow bricks between the carton and the plastic basin to prevent the carton from being damaged by the fertilizer liquid. Three wastes can be collected at the same time. Being used makes me feel inexplicably happy.

At this time, the sun was shining directly overhead, and there was no shade from the trees. The spread leaf mold soil was licked twice from time to time, and it dried quite quickly. Maybe it could be dried before the sun went down.

Zhao Yeqing moved a bench and sat down on the terrace on the second floor. Recently, she was used to staying on the second floor when she had nothing to do. The broad view upstairs gave her a sense of security. She was always worried that there would be a few missed infected people. As soon as she ran up the mountain, she saw it in advance from a distance, which always gave her an advantage.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yeqing took stock of the tools at home, including axes, sickles, hatchets, and rakes, and didn't know which one would be easier to hit someone with.

She went downstairs and took out the tools and tried them out a few times, but she still felt that nothing was right. The axe, hatchet, and sickle were too short. If she encountered an encounter, she could only attack at close range. If she was not careful, she would be in danger. The rake was a bit heavy, so she swung it a few more times. My hands feel sore.

It needs to be longer and light enough. I only have bamboo cut two days ago at home. The top section is not thick enough. I put it aside temporarily because I didn’t need it at the time. I originally planned to use it to build a shelf for fruits.

After waving it a few times, it brought out the sound of whistling wind, which seemed to be like that, but the post said that the infected person was not afraid of pain after losing his mind. I didn't know if she could knock him out with this bamboo pole just by knocking it.

I wandered around the house with my hands behind my back, looking here and there, and finally my eyes settled on the fruit knife I used at home. Other knives were too heavy, and the front part tied to a light bamboo pole was unbalanced. This fruit knife The size is just right and the weight is right. The front of the bamboo pole is slotted and glue is applied to insert the handle into it. The outer ring is wrapped with wire.

I tried poking the mud twice and it felt pretty good, but I don’t know if it’s useful in actual combat.

Zhao Yeqing turned the spear around in an idle manner. In fact, she didn't know how else to give herself a sense of security other than making something like this.

The message notification sound on her mobile phone brought her back to her thoughts. Feng Chunyan would send messages to Zhao Yeqing from morning to night every day. She would have to report that she was safe more than five times a day.

Clicking on the loudspeaker and listening to the old lady's nagging words, Zhao Yeqing's expression softened unconsciously, and he felt a little warm in his heart. He raised his camera and took a few photos of her new vegetable garden and freshly harvested loquats and sent them to Feng. Chunyan reluctantly felt relieved and sent a few voice messages.

'My dear, you have to be careful on your own, eat well, and make sure the door is locked when you sleep at night. Push a table over and hold it against the door. '

'Is the food you bought before enough to eat? '

'There are a lot fewer people infected now. If it's not enough, tell your aunt. I'll ask your eldest nephew to drive out to deliver food to you. Don't worry about your aunt...'

In the second half of the last voice, one could vaguely hear Feng Lixuan next to him questioning whether he was his biological grandson.

There should be no shortage of food for the time being. Zhao Yeqing looked at the refrigerator. She had not completely filled the 300L refrigerator. There were some leafy vegetables and drinks in the upper freezer, which was estimated to last for a week. There was quite a lot of meat in the lower freezer because it could be stored more easily. , she previously wanted to fill it up as much as possible to avoid having to go down the mountain to buy it, but now she accidentally hit it, and she didn't know when order would be restored.

Vegetables in the refrigerator cannot be stored for that long even if they are eaten sparingly. The same goes for cabbage in the cellar. The humidity in the south is too high. The temperature in the cellar is only lower than that on the ground. Even if dehumidifying charcoal is placed in it, the humidity It is still not conducive to storing vegetables for a long time, so she plans to make sour cabbage and spicy cabbage while the cabbage is fresh tomorrow morning.
