After the disaster

There is also a night market near the train station here, where Qiu Cheng bought two foldable electric scooters.

If he and Ah Chang come out again in the future, they can use the scooter to travel after getting off the train.Although with their physical fitness, running at full strength may be faster than this scooter, but human physical strength is limited after all, and they have to reserve enough energy to deal with some sudden situations.

It was still Xinnan City, where the train was returning. When the two of them jumped off a train, it was already past twelve o'clock at noon.

At home, everything is normal except for the few pigs whimpering with hunger, and the group of chickens pecking the grass in the two rooms of 1512 until only the sod is left.

When he was outside, Qiu Cheng used his "eyes of heaven and earth" to observe his own situation twice, but he didn't look at it for too long, because the distance was too far, and it took too much energy to observe. It still consumes a lot of spiritual power on Qiu Cheng.

After returning this time, Qiu Chengcheng began to plant herbs in the rooms facing south on the [-]th floor. As for the seedlings, they mainly sent them to the night market in Xinnan City to collect them this time.

That night, Qiu Cheng, Ah Chang and Zhou Quan rode a tricycle to the night market to set up a stall.After arriving at the place and setting up the stall, Qiu Cheng asked Ah Chang and Zhou Quan to guard the stall together, and went shopping in the night market by himself.

These days, Ah Chang and Zhou Quan get along pretty well. Although they are not familiar with each other, they live in peace and harmony. They can cooperate when they are working, and they often go out to catch bugs together.

Qiu Cheng walked in the night market alone. Although the night market in Xinnan City was not as lively as the night markets in the southern city, with so many people and so many products, the atmosphere was obviously more relaxed.

Since the first batch of infected people in Xinnan City were cured by the "silver line of life", there have been no other infected people in this city, freed from the shadow of death, and the atmosphere of the whole city is naturally completely different.

On the side of the road in front of the railway station square, many people were selling medicine seedlings there. Qiu Cheng went over to look and found some he needed at a stall.

"How do you sell this seedling?" Qiu Cheng raised his head and found that the owner of the stall turned out to be the owner of the [-]th floor who sold his house to him a while ago.

"You want this shixiangru? One five catties of cornmeal." The man obviously recognized Qiu Cheng, but he didn't make friends with him.

This Shixiang is one of the raw materials of the recently announced "line of life". It can be found in the mountains near Xinnan City. It is a relatively common Chinese herbal medicine in the local area. However, since it is on the drug list, the price will naturally rise. .

"How many do you have here in total?" Qiu Cheng looked at the medicinal plants they placed on the ground, and felt that there were only a dozen or so at most.

"Eleven plants, if you buy them all, we will count them as ten plants." Before the man could speak, another person behind him eagerly interjected.

The three of them have been going up the mountain together to dig herbs and set up a stall every day recently, and they have agreed to share the food sold equally.

It's just that the prices pressed by those drug dealers from other places are too low, and they have too few medicinal materials on hand, so they don't have the capital to bargain with others. Luckily, it is best if someone buys it. If no one wants it, then we will consider whether to sell it to a drug dealer or go to the provincial capital to see the situation.

Recently, they have to go to the mountains to collect herbs every day. Not to mention the hard work, they walk in the mountains all day, and their physical strength is also great. The rations of the three of them alone are quite a lot. Fortunately, the three of them had some real estate before. After selling the house, it can last for a while, otherwise not only them, but even the wife and children at home will drink the northwest wind.

"These chrysanthemums, together with these holly plants, fifty catties of cornmeal." Qiu Cheng pointed to the handful of chrysanthemums on the ground, then pointed to the pile of hollies beside him, and said.

The three looked at each other, one of the men nodded first, and then the other two quickly reached an agreement.

The man who once sold the house to Qiu Cheng packed the wooly holly in a sack, and the other man next to him carefully packed the fenugreek in a box. This is fifty catties of cornmeal. What a broken box is. , in their eyes, in this transaction, these Shi Xiangrui are the protagonists, and the pile of Mao holly is purely a trick.

It is true that Mao Dongqing was not used in the refining process of "Jiebaidu", but among the other kinds of elixirs recorded in "Muxiu Notes", Mao Dongqing was used in some of them, since Qiu Cheng saw it today , I bought it back and planted it by the way, so as not to catch it when I want to use it in the future.

Qiu Cheng didn't have so much cornmeal on him at this time, so he asked these people to go to the stall with him to get them. There were not many kinds of medicinal materials in these people's stalls. Now that the two big heads have been bought by Qiu Cheng, they can almost close the stall. Well, I simply collected the remaining herbs and followed Qiu Cheng to get the cornmeal.

Ah Chang and Zhou Quan's business was booming at this time, and Qiu Cheng found that since Zhou Quan came, there were obviously more female customers visiting their stall than before.

In terms of appearance alone, Ah Chang is not bad, but this guy has not been immersed in human society long enough, and he still doesn't know how to radiate masculinity.

Qiu Cheng weighed fifty catties out of the cornmeal they had just harvested, but the three men said that they wanted to sell some remaining herbs to Qiu Cheng cheaply and asked him if he wanted it.

The rest of the Chinese herbal medicines they sold were not listed on the medicine list, but some of them were quite valuable. Qiu Cheng's favorite was the clump of Dendrobium officinale.After some bargaining, Qiu Cheng bought all the remaining medicines and seedlings together.

These three people had no experience in collecting herbs before, so they managed to recognize a few Chinese herbal medicines in the past few days, so they went to the mountains to look for them. Once they found something that looked like it, they dug it back.Basically, most herbal collectors in Xinnan City are doing this now. If this continues, the Chinese herbal medicines on the mountain will probably be dug up and extinct in a short time.

It's just that in this way, it is much more convenient for Qiu Cheng to buy medicine seedlings directly from the night market and go back to plant them. The spirit gathering array is full of spiritual energy, as long as they have roots and are not dead, they can basically be planted alive.

Now, Qiu Cheng didn't need to spend any effort to find some local Chinese herbal medicines, and he could get something by just strolling around in the night market.

Chinese herbal medicines such as Dendrobium candidum and Shixiangzi always grow well in the crevices of stones. Qiu Chengcheng planted these Chinese herbal medicines that like stones, and specially piled up a few low stone walls in the room next door in 1505.

Considering the load-bearing problem of the floor, these low walls were not piled up very high and thick, but a few stone walls with a height of more than one meter were piled up slightly near the wall, and some soil was stuffed into the gaps of the stone walls, and these medicinal materials were planted. It took a lot of effort to go in and go back and forth. After the Chinese herbal medicines grow in the crevices of the stones, the green medicinal plants and the natural stones complement each other, which looks pretty good.

Since Qiu Cheng included several rooms on the [-]th floor into the large gathering of spirits upstairs, he no longer asked Zhou Quan to work in those rooms where Chinese herbal medicines were planted.

Fortunately, Zhou Quan still has those voles to take care of. If he doesn't go to those houses, he won't have other things to do.Sometimes, if I don't go out after dinner at night, I will help Qiu Cheng and the others grind chili noodles.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang would move the stone mill in front of the sofa and let him sit there and watch TV while working. The air conditioner in the room was fully turned on, and it was not easy to sweat when doing some work.

Usually at this time, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang would stay outside the terrace. Zhou Quan probably knew that they had to blow on the air conditioner outside every dusk to enjoy the cool. A glass house was built outside the terrace, and a shelf of cowpeas was planted. There are also some wooden baskets, and the ones in the wooden baskets seem to be ginseng.

Zhou Quan knew that Qiu Cheng and the others must have some secrets, such as the ginseng outside the terrace, or the "sliver of life" that Qiu Cheng gave him back then.But he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Since Qiu Cheng didn't want him to know, there must be his reasons.

This time he came to Xinnan City, he was very lucky to be able to save his life.

Although I am only 19 years old this year, life has been too difficult these years, and young people tend to mature prematurely.Zhou Quan knew that Qiu Cheng actually took a big risk when he offered a "silver lifeline" to himself when he met him for the first time. As a beneficiary of this matter, he would never let Qiu Cheng They are thus in crisis.

For Qiu Cheng, with the help of Zhou Quan at home, he can free up his hands to do other things.

Now some of the daily farm work of watering, fertilizing and catching insects on the fifteenth floor is basically covered by Ah Chang, and Qiu Cheng is only busy when he is planting and harvesting.The more troublesome field mouse breeding was handed over to Zhou Quan. Recently, gradually, he is almost able to start making all kinds of chili sauce at home.

Qiu Cheng's extra time and energy are basically spent on cultivation and alchemy. Every time he makes alchemy, his spiritual power is almost exhausted. Usually whenever he has free time, he would take the time to adjust his breath and meditate. These days he Jade is rarely refined anymore.

Just in the past few days, the news that a large number of patients infected with Y virus have been cured in a hospital in the south has spread around the country as if they had grown wings.

This incident was also broadcast on the news, only saying that a cured case appeared, but did not say what method was used to cure it.All of a sudden, people infected with Y virus from all over the country rushed to the south one after another, and even those who lived in temples in the suburbs of Xinnan City left as soon as they got the news.

At the beginning, Qiu Cheng only put three "jiebaidu" pills into the well of that temple. Although these infected people drank the well water every day, none of them recovered. At most, they did not continue to deteriorate.

Several infected people seem to be slightly better than before, and everyone just thinks that living in a temple is more quiet and good for the spirit.

I have to say that once these people left, Qiu Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he has been paying attention to the situation of these people. They are right under his nose. No matter what, they can't just die like this. Well, he probably wants to make a move, but at this moment, it is really not good for them to make a hasty move to attract attention.

There is a raging undercurrent in the south, but Xinnan City has been quiet recently. Qiu Cheng has accumulated some "remedies" on hand, and he wonders if he should not go back to that city next time, so as not to be discovered.

Shen Xing recently helped him buy a lot of six houses in Jiayuan Community. According to Qiu Cheng, they would accept it no matter what floor, even the garage. As long as they were willing to sell, they would accept it. What are these rooms used for? It would be a waste to leave them empty.

"Do you want to plant something in the downstairs house?" Zhou Quan asked Qiu Chengdao during lunch that day.

When Qiu Cheng led him to work in those rooms on the [-]th floor, although he didn't say what those rooms were used for, he could see that they must be used for growing things. Now there are also plants downstairs. Can several sunny rooms be used?

"You prepare first, and I will get some pepper seedlings in a few days."

After much deliberation, Qiu Cheng decided to try growing a batch of peppers in those houses first. He could plant the pepper seedlings in the Juling Array on the fifteenth floor, and then move them downstairs when they started to bear fruit. Let Zhou Quan take care of it for the time being, and take as much as he can.
