After the disaster

Although with the help of the Spirit Gathering Formation, Qiu Cheng still had no advantage in breeding, so from the very beginning, he didn't expect that these two eggs could really hatch chicks, let alone that they would be able to hatch in the future the next generation.

The reason why he bought these two eggs was to make Ah Chang happy. Without Ah Chang's help, Qiu Cheng would not have bought Room 1501 in such a short period of time.

Back in Jiayuan Community, Qiu Cheng parked his tricycle in the garage, carried his backpack, and climbed up to the fourteenth floor with Ah Chang. When they got home, the little food they ate before going out in the evening had basically been digested. exhausted.

"Gulululu..." Ah Chang's stomach let out a long growl.

"Let's get something to eat." As Qiu Cheng said, he lit the stove, added half a pot of water to the pot, and asked Ah Chang to burn it. He went to the fifteenth floor by himself, and poured fertilizer and water on the potatoes first. I went to see the goats and added some fodder to them.

When he went downstairs, the water in the pot was already boiling. Qiu Cheng first filled a pot of water with a kettle, then pulled a few cabbage leaves from the balcony, broke them into small pieces and threw them into the pot. He broke up another corn tortilla and put it in to cook together, sprinkled some spices for roasting sparrows, and added some chopped green onions after it was cooked.

The boiled cake soup smells good, but it doesn't taste very good. There is no trace of oil, so how delicious is it.

After he was full, Qiu Cheng washed the pots and bowls, and poured fertilizer and water on the crops on the terrace, then washed his hands and face, and began to meditate for the day.

Qiu Cheng has not practiced for a long time, and his body has not changed much. Compared with before, the most obvious thing is that he is more energetic, his physical strength is better, and his reaction is much more sensitive.

According to "Muxiu's Notes", he is still in the stage of Qi and body training, and he is still a mortal body. If he wants to gain more life span, at least he has to wait until he enters the foundation building stage.

From Qi training to foundation building, it takes a few months or a few years. If the aptitude is too poor or the method is wrong, you will not be able to see the way in your lifetime. When you die, all the previous efforts will be turned into nothing. Nothing.

Qiu Cheng sat cross-legged in meditation, with his heart turned to the sky, and Ah Chang nestled next to him and dozed off. He squinted his eyes like a cat, put his chin on the quilt, and looked like he was deeply asleep.

After Qiu Cheng fell into meditation, Ah Chang slowly opened his eyes. He has now figured out the pattern. Every time Qiu Cheng fell into meditation, his aura would change slightly. This kind of change is difficult for ordinary people. found, Ah Chang can.

Ah Chang first moved a place for himself, and then moved the two eggs, still placed under his belly, he was next to Qiu Cheng, smelling his body, he felt satisfied and tired Slowly came up...

"!" I don't know how long it took, Ah Chang opened his eyes dusk. He looked at Qiu Cheng with his sleepy eyes. Seeing that he was still meditating, he yawned reassuringly. The two eggs below turned over and continued to doze.

When Qiu Cheng came out of samadhi, he saw Ah Chang sleeping soundly next to him, so he didn't push him, just lay down and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, there was another nest of little mice in the mouse cage in the living room, and the clothes Ah Chang threw on the floor were also stained with mud. It seemed that he had dug out the mouse holes this time. .

It was just dawn, and Qiu Cheng still went to the river to carry water. When he finished carrying four loads of water from the river, the sound of water trucks coming outside their community also sounded.

Because their area has not been connected to tap water yet, a water truck will come by every other day to deliver some daily water to them. When the water truck arrives, the residents will pick it up with buckets and washbasins.Hearing the sound, Qiu Cheng picked up the empty bucket again and went downstairs to line up to pick up the water. The time the water truck stayed in their community was not fixed, and they would leave when no one came to pick up the water.

When Qiu Cheng got there, there were already seven or eight people lined up in front, and he lined up behind with two buckets and a shoulder pole.

There was the sound of rushing water in front of the team, and the team was quiet. Although they lived in the same community, they didn't talk much to each other.

"You live on the fourteenth floor, right?" At this time, another old man came behind Qiu Cheng. He looked about 60 years old, a little thin, looked good, and was neatly dressed. As soon as he came, he stretched out his hand. He patted Qiu Cheng on the shoulder.

"It's me." Qiu Cheng nodded.

"A while ago I met a woman in the elevator, with big eyes and a pointed face, who looked 27 or [-]. She was looking for you, right?" the old man asked again.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Cheng frowned slightly.

"It's nothing, I've met her many times in this month alone." The old man said very dissatisfied: "It's still half a month away, and the elevator in our building has stopped, and now it's restricted everywhere. Dian, the floor you live in is inherently high, not only do you go in and out by yourself, but you also search for this and that all day long..."

"I'll pay more attention next month." Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic, Qiu Cheng interrupted him loudly, thinking that it was really not easy for him to go upstairs and downstairs with his old bones, so Qiu Cheng decided to make the next move Please use the elevator less.

"Tsk, it's still half a month away, and now everyone doesn't have to use it. This public thing has to rely on self-consciousness. It doesn't mean that whoever uses it more will take advantage of it. It is at this time that there is no quality. Realized, I heard that I have to buy a house, and with that money, why do you still live on the fourteenth floor, why don't you move..." The old man really got more and more excited.

"Which floor do you live on?" Qiu Cheng interrupted him again. Sometimes he really hates this kind of old man. He always feels that he is right and others are wrong. Every little thing needs to be put on the line, and he only cares about himself. The mouth is happy and the heart is happy, without any regard for other people's feelings.

"The third floor." The old man raised his chin, as if he was saying that he lived on the third floor, and there were not many elevators to go around.

"Then do you know that there is a building in Biye New City, with a total of more than ten floors, and no one lives above the sixth floor. As a result, they haven't opened the elevator now." Qiu Cheng said with a twitch of his mouth.

"Not activated?" The old man responded slowly, as if he still didn't understand.

"It's just that there is no quota, and the elevator will not be used from the beginning to the end of a month, understand?" Qiu Cheng explained to him again.

The old man thinks that Qiu Cheng and the others use elevators too much, and now he has trouble climbing the stairs every day, and he doesn't even think about it. He only lives on the third floor, while Qiu Cheng and the others still live on the fourteenth floor. I have to complain to the residents of the lower floors, so that they don't have to take the elevator if their floors are so low. Originally, the city opened elevators for them to facilitate the residents of the upper floors.

Of course, such a request is a bit unreasonable. Qiu Cheng and the others can't blame others for climbing up and down every day. If they want to blame, they can only blame the bad morals of the world, and the monthly quota given by the city is too small.

Hearing what Qiu Cheng said, the old man calmed down. In fact, he was still dissatisfied. According to this, shouldn't the residents of their lower floors not take the elevator?This elevator is a public facility in their building, they can take it whenever they want, who can stop it?

But seeing the obviously impatient expression on the young man's face, the old man felt a little guilty, and thought, don't be a two hundred and five, he will be upset by a few words, and then he will rush over to beat and kill, tsk , it looks like he has no quality at first glance, so he should avoid it.

Qiu Cheng didn't bother to care about what the old man was muttering in his heart, and it was almost his turn to speak. When the water bottle of the person in front was full, Qiu Cheng put his two buckets over.

He picked up a load of water and climbed up to the fifteenth floor. Qiu Cheng looked out the window and saw that the water truck below hadn’t left yet, so he planned to go down to pick another load. The residents of the house will come in the evening, when Qiu Cheng and the others have already gone to set up a stall, so they can't make it in time.

When going downstairs, Qiu Cheng also met some neighbors climbing the stairs with buckets and water bottles. It was at this time that he understood the number of residents in their building.

Most of the young people in the daytime have gone out to work. At this time, most of the people who appeared on the stairs were old people, and there were also children in their teens. These people were not physically strong, and it seemed very strenuous to climb the stairs with a bucket. , Qiu Cheng walked and watched all the way, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He has good physical strength, so he should take fewer elevators next month.

Walking to the corner between the third floor and the second floor, Qiu Cheng saw a six or seven-year-old boy struggling to climb upstairs with a large white square plastic kettle, step by step, step by step. Drag that kettle upstairs.

"Which floor do you live on?" Qiu Cheng stopped in his tracks.

"Ninth floor." The boy pursed his lips and glanced at him, then lowered his head to drag the kettle.

"Why didn't your parents lock you in the house today?" Qiu Cheng asked with a smile. He remembered that Lao Li had told him last time that someone in their building locked children in the room and couldn't open the door. He also couldn't go in and check the circuit.

"There's no water in the house." After the child finished speaking, he suddenly realized, his eyes widened: "How do you know I'm locked in the house?"

"I was an electrician before, so I was in charge of our area." Qiu Cheng didn't scare him either.

"Oh." The child nodded, accepting the explanation.

"May I lift it up for you?" After all, this child is too young, and his small body weighs only thirty or forty kilograms. The water in this plastic pot must be at least ten or twenty kilograms. How can he lift it up? have to go up?

"No need." The boy lowered his head without looking at Qiu Cheng.

"That's fine, then take your time." Qiu Cheng didn't want to delay any longer at this time, and the water truck downstairs left without knowing when.

Here Qiu Cheng thumped downstairs, and rushed to pick up another load of water before the water truck left. When he climbed to the third floor with the bucket, he saw the child squatting there guarding the kettle.The boy's eyes lit up when he saw him carrying the water up, but he still didn't speak in the end. He watched him walk up one step at a time, and when he reached the stairs on the third floor, he was about to go to the fourth floor.

"Do you want me to lift it up for you?" Qiu Cheng stopped before the first step, turned around and asked him again.

"Yes!" This time he nodded quickly in agreement.

"Oh, I'll help you to the stairs." Qiu Cheng couldn't help but also smiled, walked over to lift his plastic water bottle, and walked upstairs briskly.

"Just mention the stairs." The boy followed happily.

"Next time, if you meet someone you don't know, don't ask for help." Qiu Cheng worried that he would lose his vigilance after saving energy this time.

"I know." The boy agreed well.

"I live in 1406. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me." Qiu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Don't go if you have nothing to do."

"Cut, who's going?" The boy's eyes lit up first, and when he heard the latter sentence, he immediately became unhappy.

They walked to the stairs on the ninth floor together, Qiu Cheng put the kettle down, the child awkwardly said thank you uncle, and then dragged the kettle away.

Qiu Cheng smiled and returned home with water. After filling the water, he went to the fifteenth floor to clean the room where the goats lived. The three goats lived in a small room in room 1501. In 1501, room [-] was unrenovated, and it was still a rough room. Except for an entrance door, there were no other doors and windows in the room. In order to prevent these goats from running around in the room, Qiu Cheng blocked a door at the door of this room. A sofa with its back facing inwards.

Qiu Cheng stepped on the sofa and climbed in, took a broom and swept the sheep manure in the house into a pile, put it in a dustpan, and took it to compost and ferment later. Now the three sheep are the most powerful manure making machine in their house, the vole After all, his fighting power is limited.

This small room faces south, and the light is very good, and the sun shines in every afternoon. These sheep live here comfortably, and because they are in the spirit-gathering array, the environment full of spiritual energy makes them feel comfortable. I am in a good mood and energetic, I can eat and sleep, my body looks good, and I gain weight quickly.

Ah Chang woke up and had lunch, and handed over the task of hatching eggs to Qiu Cheng, and then he took his tools and went out to catch sparrows.

Qiu Cheng spent a lot of time catching bugs this afternoon. As soon as the weather got warmer, there were more bugs. Fortunately, their crops were not many, and the bugs were not too many.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!" At this time their doorbell rang.

Qiu Cheng came in from the balcony and closed the curtain. He thought he could come here to look for him, except for Shen Xing, who was the owner of the houses upstairs. He didn't expect that when he went to the cat's eye, he found someone standing outside. It turned out to be a strange woman.
