Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Liao Cheng chatted with them for a while and then left.

Kong Zhi took Xia Lunong to the cafeteria for dinner.

Xia Lunong is a cat type, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when eating at the table in the cafeteria. They usually call back to eat.

Xia Lunong has no problem with where to eat, the only thing he is depressed about is that the food in the cafeteria tastes too mediocre.

Even if Kong Zhi ordered dried fried fish for him, it couldn't save his appetite.

Xia Maomao finished his meal without love, and collapsed into a cat strip on the sofa.

Kong Zhi touched his back, "Take a break first, don't you want to go to the fields this afternoon?"

Xia Maomao stretched out its soft cat claws to scratch his wrist, "Mi."

This means agreeing.

Kong Zhi carried him to Xia Huoqu's room, shook off the quilt and made him a bed, settled him down, and then went back to his own room to sleep.

It was hot outside in late spring.

But because there is only one floor in the house, the soil is under the floor tiles, the coolness rises from the feet, and the whole house is cool and cool.

Xia Maomao slept on the quilt and soon fell into a long summer dream.

In the afternoon, Xia Maomao was awakened by voices outside.

He stretched his four claws in four directions, stretched vigorously, then rolled over and got off the bed, and ran out the door lightly.

It was Liao Cheng again.

Seeing him come out, Liao Cheng raised his hand and said, "I brought back your chickens, remember to feed them, I think they are about to lay eggs."

Xia Lunong put her paws on the ground, ran to the door and stretched her neck to look at the side of the house. There were indeed two hens locked in the chicken coop on the side of the house.

These two chickens were bigger than when they left the house. It seemed that Liao Cheng had raised them very well, and it was estimated that they would lay eggs in a few days.

Xia Lunong nodded to Liao Cheng.

Seeing this sweet-looking cat make such a serious expression, Liao Cheng smiled, "I also took care of Tian for you. I picked a few red tomatoes when you were away, and I ate them all."

"Meow." Go ahead and eat.

Liao Chengdao: "There have been major earthquakes and heavy rains in the past few days. Everyone in the base has to take turns to go out of the base. Before I have time to take care of the ground, many peppers and tomatoes have fallen. When you go to see it, remember to chop some bamboo strips. Go ahead and prop them up just in time."

The bamboo forest on the mountain belongs to the base.

The bamboo shoots inside cannot be dug, but it is okay to chop one or two bamboos occasionally.

As long as there is no massive felling, no one will say anything.

Xia Lunong only remembered wandering around the base in the morning, completely forgetting to look at his fields.

Hearing what Liao Cheng said, he raised his head and let out a "Mi".

understood.

Liao Chengdao: "Okay, I'm here to deliver hens to you. By the way, I have to do base missions in the afternoon. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Let's go first."

"mum."

Xia Lunong watched Liao Cheng go out, walked to Kong Zhi's feet, and hooked his trouser legs.

He remembered that Kong Zhi was injured, looked up at him worriedly, and wrote on the ground with his paw: Do you want to go to the fields?

Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong looked at each other, and quickly understood what the cat meant, "No, go chop the bamboo first, I'll do it with my left hand."

Xia Maomao pawed at him, "Meow."

Neither does the left hand.

Kong Zhi said: "The injury is almost healed, it doesn't hurt."

Xia Lunong didn't believe it.

Kong Zhi didn't have any intention of explaining, bent down and picked him up, went to the kitchen to get a hatchet, and took a roll of hemp rope and put it in the basket, "Let's go."

Kong Zhi roughly knows where Xia Lunong's family's field is.

He hugged the cat, went out, locked the door, and walked along the path to the mountain behind the house.

After a while, they arrived at the bamboo forest.

The bamboo flutters with the wind, making a rustling sound, and the fragrance of bamboo floats out layer by layer.

It has rained several times recently, and the rainwater accumulated in the layers of fallen leaves in the bamboo forest. When Kong Zhi stepped on it, the edge of his shoe was wet with water.

Xia Lunong was about to walk up and down, but when she saw this scene, she withdrew her tentative cat's claws, with disgust written all over her cat's face, she shrank into Kong Zhi's arms again.

Kong Zhi looked down at him, but said nothing.

To cut bamboo, you should choose a denser place to cut, and do the work similar to thinning seedlings.

Kong Zhi walked around in this bamboo forest, and quickly picked a target. After placing the cat a little away from the bamboo to be chopped, he held a machete in his left hand and began to chop the bamboo with a bang.

Xia Maomao crawled on the ground, turned its head around, looking at the situation in the bamboo forest.

It has been raining for the past few days, bamboo shoots are emerging from the ground, and they grow very fast. At a glance, there are bamboo shoots everywhere, high and low, all over the bamboo forest, one or two are chubby, and people can think of the white bamboo shoots inside through the shell. Seeing the white and tender bamboo shoots, he was extremely moved.

He swallowed, unfortunately, only the cafeteria can dig bamboo shoots.

The cafeteria has the right to dig, but they don’t do much digging.

This bamboo forest is mainly used as economic wood. People cut bamboo to build shelves, weave utensils, make furniture, and sometimes even use it to build bamboo sheds.

Bamboo is so useful, it's a pity to dig it up and eat it before it grows.

Xia Lunong is well aware of the situation of the base, no matter how greedy he is, it is impossible to eat the bamboo shoots of the base, and there is no place to change them.

He sighed, and the cat's head rested on its front paws, its face full of gloom.

The bamboo is hollow, and Kong Zhi has great strength, he chopped down half of the bamboo with one knife, and he chopped down the bamboo as thick as the mouth of a bowl with only two knifes.

The bamboo fell to the ground with a bang, and the bamboo leaves touched other bamboo branches, making a rustling sound, which scared many birds in the bamboo forest.

After cutting the bamboo, Kong Zhi dragged it down, cut off the branches and leaves with a hatchet, and cut off the ends, leaving only a smooth bamboo tube.

Xia Lunong watched him from the side. It took him only 5 minutes to chop the bamboo and cut off the bamboo tube.

Kong Zhi handled the bamboo, put it on his shoulder, looked up at Xia Lunong who was turning his head not far away, "Let's go."

"Mi." Xia Lunong stood up, her four claws lightly pointed on the bamboo leaves, and after a few steps, she quickly ran to Kong Zhi's feet.

When he was approaching Kong Zhi's side, his emerald eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a brownish-yellow shadow, like a huge spot on a bamboo tube, or something else.

Xia Lunong was attracted, and subconsciously turned her head to look.

His eyesight is very good, and he can see the bugs with a big mouth very clearly.

The worm had a carapace on its back, and it was big and fat. Its long mouth pierced directly into the bamboo like a straw.

Xia Lunong knew that there was something lying on the bamboo, but she didn't expect it to be such a big bug.

From a cat's point of view, the worm was bigger than his head!

The moment Xia Maomao saw the bug, before his consciousness had time to react, the whole cat had arched its back and bounced up more than two meters high.

Like a cannonball, the cat exploded directly into Kong Zhi's arms, and before he reached out to catch it, it crawled directly onto his head along the clothes on his chest, with all four claws together.

The whole action took place at the instant of the fire and light stone, and with Kong Zhi's strength, it was too late to make any more reactions.

"Meow——" Xia Maomao felt lingering fear, squatting on Kong Zhi's head and looking down at the yellow shadow.

After watching it for a while, I realized that the place where he was squatting seemed to be a bit wrong.

Xia Maomao looked down, and Kong Zhi looked up at him expressionlessly.

"Mi." Xia Maomao moved her paw guiltily.

Kong Zhi stretched out his left hand and grabbed the cat off the top of his head.

Xia Maomao obediently stayed in his palm, didn't struggle, but let out a "mi" again.

Kong Zhi paused with his hand, and instead of taking it down, he put the cat on his shoulder with his backhand.

Kong Zhi is still a teenager, but tall, with broad shoulders.

Xia Maomao crouched on his shoulder, feeling just right.

Kong Zhi took two steps forward, and stood in front of the bamboo covered with bugs at a distance of several meters.

His eyesight is very good, even if it is a few meters away, the figure of the bug can be clearly seen.

Kong Zhi looked at it for a few seconds and said, "It's a bamboo shoot worm."

Xia Maomao tilted his head, he thought the name was very familiar.

Kong Zhi continued: "You can eat it, it's very fragrant when deep-fried."

Xia Maomao's eyes lit up with a "ding" and looked up at the bug.

Looking at it from a distance, the bug seems to be not bad?

Xia Maomao moved its paws and stepped on Kong Zhi's shoulders, feeling a little moved.

He took another look, and found that the degree of mutation of this insect was also very slight, and it only grew an extra wing all over its body.

"Meow." Xia Maomao hooked the clothes on Kong Zhi's shoulders, with a pure expression, or should we catch bugs?

Kong Zhi looked at him sideways, "Want to catch?"

"mum."

"If you want to catch bugs, you can get down and walk by yourself."

Xia Maomao looked at him, then at the ground, kicked his four feet lightly, and jumped down lightly by the reaction force.

After jumping down, the cat felt that it was getting closer to the bug, and quickly moved its paws back a few steps.

With a slight smile in his eyes, Kong Zhi stepped forward lightly, squeezed two fingers, and grabbed the bamboo shoot insect lying on the bamboo.

After the bamboo shoot worm was caught, the legs with metallic luster were still moving around. Seeing Xia Maomao felt chills, he couldn't help but take a few steps on his hind legs, his hind paws touched the ground, his front paws were raised, and he posed A posture ready to punch cats at any time.

Kong Zhi didn't scare him. After catching the bugs, he threw them into the back basket, and filled the mouth of the back basket with the bamboo branches he cut down before.

Xia Maomao watched, took a few steps closer, and looked up curiously at the pannier on his back.

Kong Zhi put the chopped bamboo on the spot, and asked: "I just saw a few bamboo shoot insects, catch them first and then go down the mountain?"

"Mi." Xia Maomao had no objection.

Kong Zhi knelt down and rubbed him, and said, "Follow closely."

Xia Maomao hurriedly followed him, and went to find bamboo shoots together with him.

The bamboo forest at the base is very large, and the surrounding mountains are full of bamboo forests from the halfway up to the top of the mountain.

Kong Zhi walked through the bamboo forest with the cat, and caught six shoot worms in a short time.

Xia Lunong thought it was scary when he first saw the bamboo shoot insect. After watching it a few times, he got used to it. Not only did he no longer find it scary, but he also thought it was cute.

The food was all lovely.

Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong have an eagle and a cat, and they have excellent eyesight.

As long as there are bamboo shoots where they walk, they can't escape their eyes.

"Meow!" After more than ten meters away, Xia Lunong saw another bamboo shoot insect.

This time he called out not to remind Kong Zhi, but to cheer himself up.

Kong Zhi followed the barking and looked over, the long-haired cat with a silver-gray back and a white belly had already landed on all fours, kicking the ground alternately with its front and rear legs, and jumped out directly.

The cat ran lightly and quickly. Before the bamboo shoot insect could react, the cat jumped and grabbed the shoot insect lying on the bamboo with its mouth.

"Woo--" Xia Maomao ran to the edge of Kong Zhi, raised his head to claim credit, Cui Se's eyes were full of joy.

Kong Zhi bent down, took the half-dead bamboo shoot insect from his mouth, and rubbed the cat's head, "Good job!"

"mum."

This is not an exaggeration, Xia Lunong caught the bamboo shoot insect really well this time, from jumping to bumping into it to pick up the bamboo shoot insect, he didn't hurt himself, didn't bite the bamboo shoot insect, and didn't scare the bamboo shoot insect away.

His movements are precise and neat, exactly like a wild cat.

Xia Lunong felt nothing in his heart, but he flicked his tail uncontrollably, and the flicking tail directly revealed the pride in his heart.

The two continued to walk through the bamboo forest, and not a single bamboo shoot insect, large or small, could escape their eyes.

In less than half an hour, the two caught half a basket of bamboo shoot worms.

Kong Zhi took a look and said, "It's almost enough to eat, let's go back first."

"mum."

Kong Zhi carried the bamboo shoot insects on his back and dragged the bamboo down the mountain.

Xia Maomao followed beside him.

The two went to the field first.

Xia Lunong saw the messy crops in the field at a glance - beans that fell from the shelf, tomatoes that were broken by the wind, eggplant peppers that were staggering, and peanut seedlings whose roots were turned up.

He let out an instant "Aw" in distress, and quickly rushed out to check.

Kong Zhi saw a silver-gray arc flashing before his eyes, and when he saw it again, the cat was already turning around under the tomato tree, purring, and his heart ached to death.

His big tomato!

It was obvious that they had begun to bear fruit, but seven of the ten plants were broken.

Tomato trees are too fragile, plump and full of water, and their branches are very tender. Unlike eggplant and pepper, the branches are stronger and more resilient. Therefore, the tomato is the most damaged in the entire land.

Kong Zhi came over to check and said: "It's okay, it's alive, use bamboo sticks to build a frame, maybe it can grow well."

"Ugh-"

"Get out of the way, I'll split the bamboo sticks."

Kong Zhi gently pushed the cat away, took the hatchet, and broke open the bamboo.

The hollow structure of the bamboo makes it particularly easy to break. When Kong Zhi cut it lightly, the bamboo split in two, and quickly changed from bamboo to a pile of bamboo strips.

The bamboo strips are then split into several sections, inserted on the side of the tomato, and tied with three bamboo strips to form a triangular frame to firmly support the tomato.

Kong Zhi worked very carefully and steadily, and gradually all ten tomato plants were lifted up by him.

After the tomato seedlings were done, it was almost dark.

Kong Zhi turned his head and took a look, "I will deal with the remaining plants tomorrow, and I will go back today."

"Meow."

Kong Zhi walked to the edge of the field, picked up the basket, and picked up the cat, "Let's go."

"Meow." The cat quickly poked its head out of his arms, pointed at the pepper seedlings, and meowed again.

Kong Zhi looked at the cat in his arms: "Do you want to pick some peppers and go home?"

Mao Mao nodded, "Meow."

Kong Zhi looked at him again, "Fried bamboo shoots?"

"Meow!"

Correct!
