Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

After eating the honey, a very obvious warmth surged up, and Xia Lunong could almost feel the warmth flowing along the chest and abdomen.

That feeling was very strange, like drinking cold water in the winter, he swallowed a sip of water, and he could clearly feel where it flowed.

"Mi." Xia Lunong stretched out his claws to hook his brother's trousers, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He felt as if he was finally "full" and had the strength to do something else, like transform back into human form.

Others didn't feel it as clearly as he did, but they also faintly felt the energy brought by the honey.

Yan Xiannian's eyes on this honey changed, and he squinted and sighed, "Good stuff!"

"It's indeed a good thing." Xia Huo channeled, "Let's take the honey back early, so as not to change things later."

Yan Xiannian also had the same idea.

Three people and one cat quickly cut down the huge hive.

The four barrels they brought were not nearly enough.

Xia Huoqu looked at the bucket at his feet, and said to Kong Zhi: "Kong Zhi, take Xiao Nong back first, and bring a few more buckets or bottles over later."

Kong Zhi nodded.

Xia Lunong didn't say anything else this time, he ran under the tree and onto the open space, waiting for Kong Zhi to turn back into a golden eagle.

Kong Zhi moved very quickly, he took off his clothes in a few seconds, turned into a golden eagle with his clothes and cat in his mouth, and flew back to the base with his wings flapping.

When he got outside the house, Kong Zhi first put down Xia Lunong, and then changed back into human form.

"Meow!" Xia Lunong urged him to open the door.

Kong Zhi didn't talk nonsense, he just put on his underpants and took out his key to open the door.

Xia Maomao jumped into her room and quickly changed back to human form. While putting on her clothes, she shouted to Kong Zhi outside: "Don't look for it, we don't have any at home. We have to go to the cafeteria to borrow some barrels or bottles."

Their barrels and bottles are limited, and there is so much honey outside the base. It takes a lot of trips to rely on the barrels and bottles of his house. It is better to go to the cafeteria to borrow them all at once.

"I can transform back into a human being." Kong Zhi glanced at Xia Lunong, his eyes were a little deep.

He wasn't that familiar with the base, so he didn't intend to make his own claim on this point, so he just said, "Get more ropes, I'll fly directly from the cafeteria later."

"Okay." Xia Lunong ran out with bare feet and put on her slippers, "Hurry up, let's go to the cafeteria first."

It's only past three o'clock, and the cafeteria is busy making dinner. When they passed, the cafeteria couldn't spare any manpower to entertain them.

Hearing Xia Lunong's gesticulations about his demands, the person in the cafeteria asked, "Is that white plastic bottle for bulk wine okay?"

"What kind?" Xia Lunong asked, and quickly realized, "Is it the big plastic bottle of 25 kg or [-] kg?"

"Yes, the cafeteria saved a batch and cleaned them all. If you want, I can get you a few."

"All right, all right, no problem at all." Xia Lunong asked, "How many canteens are there in total? The more the better!"

The staff from the cafeteria took them to look for them. There were thirteen large plastic bottles for wine, four of which were 25 kg, four of which were [-] kg, three of which were [-] kg, and two of which were [-] kg.

The people in the cafeteria uncapped the bottle and asked them to smell it. "It's all clean. Using this to store honey won't taint any odor."

"That's fine, let's borrow these first. Do you have a clean funnel here? Give us a few more."

"Look at what you said, where there is no funnel, we will have one here."

The people in the cafeteria went to find some funnels for him, and when he came back, he saw that he had strung all the plastic bottles together with ropes, so he hurried over to help.

Kong Zhi quickly turned back into a golden eagle, and flew away with the pile of plastic bottles in his mouth.

Xia Lunong thought that waiting there would not be of much help, so she simply went home.

He wished his brother and the others all the best, and they must not be blocked by bees on the way.

He had a vague premonition in his heart that this time it would really go well.

Xia Huoqu and the others didn't come back until it was nearly dark. Everyone was in the shape of a beast, holding several plastic bottles on their backs or in their mouths.

Xia Lunong went out to meet them and helped them put their plastic bottles on the ground.

After putting down the plastic bottle on his body, no matter whether it was the giant tiger, the giant wolf, or the golden eagle, they were all gasping for air, looking exhausted.

After a short rest, the giant tiger first changed back to human form.

Yan Xiannian picked up the clothes on the ground, picked up a bucket they brought back, and said: "I'll send some bee pupae and honey to Bailou first. I think these bees are not simple, so we have to study how they come back." thing."

"Go." Xia Huoqu, who had turned back into a human form, waved his hand wearily.

He is also very tired today, and his lips are white.

Xia Lunong hurriedly moved the plastic bottle back little by little, and poured water out for his brother and Kong Zhi to drink.

Xia Huoqu drank the water in one go, glanced up and down at his younger brother, and asked, "How is your health? Are you okay?"

"No more." Xia Lunong quickly raised her hand to assure, and smiled obediently, "There is no problem at all, and I have fully recovered."

His brother let out a soft "chi", his eyes were full of distrust.

Like the little daughter-in-law, Xia Lunong followed behind with her head shrunk, not daring to say more.

After Xia Huoqu drank the water, he tilted his head and asked Kong Zhi, "I didn't have time to ask, did the bee sting you?"

"No." Kong Zhi turned around to show Xia Huoqu, his body was clean without any redness or swelling.

"That's fine."

Xia Lunong refilled their glass of water, came back and sat in front of them, listening to their chat about the bees they just caught.

Yan Xiannian moved very quickly, and came back in more than ten minutes.

Xia Huoqu asked, "What did Bailou say?"

"I'm so surprised!" Yan Xinian laughed, "Especially after I told them that this honey has special effects, they still didn't quite believe it, and they only half believed it after drinking some honey water."

Xia Huoqu: "This is the first time we have collected something with special effects, and it is really worth studying."

After a pause, Xia Huoqu said in a low voice: "It's a pity that we don't have enough scientific research equipment, otherwise it would be more convenient to study."

Yan Xinian was quite open-minded, and put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Let's take it slowly step by step. The catastrophe has only passed less than two years ago, and we have already established a base, and the life of the base is initially on the right track. Now that we even have electricity, other problems can be solved one by one.”

"That's right."

Seeing that they had finally rested, Xia Lunong couldn't help but asked, "Are we here to sort out the honey?"

"Hahaha come on!" Yan Xinian laughed, "I collected these honeys in a hurry before, and we haven't looked carefully at them yet."

A group of people walked into the kitchen, and thirteen plastic bottles were laid out in a row on the floor.

Yan Xiannian picked up one of them, unscrewed the lid, opened the seal again, looked inside carefully with one eye closed, and said, "There are a lot of sundries inside, and we have to filter it again."

When they harvest honey, they get it in a hurry. They basically put it in a bucket and squeeze it with a hatchet. No matter what kind of debris is squeezed out, they put it directly into a plastic bottle through a funnel.

Looking at it now, there are blades of grass, hive slag, bee wings, and some finger-sized bee pupae in the honey.

Xia Lunong immediately said: "Then I'll go find fine gauze."

There is fine gauze at home, which Xia Huoqu collected when he went out to collect supplies. It was originally used to isolate and filter bean dregs when making tofu, but now it is just right for filtering honey.

Xia Lunong also brought over the big wooden basin that usually washes vegetables, washed it clean, dried it, and wiped it again to make sure there was no water in it, and then moved it over to filter.

The color of the honey is darker than Xia Lunong imagined, a single drop of honey is yellowish brown, but now a bottle of honey is placed here, it is dark brown and close to dark brown in color.

After the honey was poured out, it was also more fragrant than Xia Lunong expected. He licked the finger that was stained with honey, and felt an indescribable sweetness spreading in his mouth. Unclear scent, probably a mixture of floral scents.

Xia Huoqu watched the honey slowly flow into the tub through the gauze, and said, "I'll go to Chen Laocai to exchange some pottery jars, which just happened to be washed to hold the honey."

Xia Lunong: "Brother, you can change a few more, just for us to use for oil."

Xia Huoqu nodded and went out.

Chen Laocai is a person who specializes in pottery in the base, and now he runs a pottery vat shop.

People in the base go out to collect all kinds of things all the year round, and the things they bring back are either packed in various wooden boxes or in various pottery jars.

Chen Laocai's business has always been good, and his family keeps a large number of ceramic vats all year round.

Now is the season for pulling peanuts. Many families in the base have to buy pottery tanks to fill oil, and Chen Laocai's family has a lot of them.

Hearing Xia Huoqu's request, Chen Laocai counted his inventory and said, "Now there are eight pottery jars with a capacity of fifty catties, and ten pottery jars with a capacity of one hundred catties. Are these enough? If not, I still have a kiln, and I will open it the day after tomorrow."

"That's enough, first I need six pottery jars of fifty catties, and help them deliver them to my house."

"Okay, one thirty catties of rice, Chenghui 180 catties of rice." Chen Laocai pulled out the cart from the warehouse, "I'll send it to you right now."

Xia Huoqu nodded, "I'll weigh the rice for you when I get home."

"Okay." Chen Laocai quickly brought out the pot, checked it again, and smiled, "Now the base has spread all over the place, saying that you collected a lot of honey this afternoon, where did you collect it?"

"By the river." Xia Huo channeled, "The bees we met this time are only as big as ping pong balls. If they are not strong enough, it is best not to mess with them, so as not to cause any accidents."

"Isn't it a big table tennis ball?" Chen Laocai trembled, "Isn't that much stronger than a hornet?"

Xia Huoqu nodded, "Yes."

"Hey, only people with your skills can do it. If we were to meet this kind of bees, let alone get honey, it would be fine if we didn't end up with dead bodies."

Xia Huoqu didn't answer.

Chen Laocai lifted the vat to the cart in twos and twos, tied it with a rope, and transported the vat to Xia's house with Xia Huoqu.

Before they arrived, they saw a group of people standing and chatting outside Xia's house from a distance, and Chen Laocai vaguely heard keywords such as "bees" and "honey" through a few words.

Among these people, many of them were holding things more or less in their hands. Among them, a man named Shi Jiacheng in the base was the most exaggerated. He also carried two pig cages, and there were two pink and tender pigs in each of the two pig cages. little piggy.

Chen Laocai was dumbfounded, he pushed the cart close to the crowd, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xia Huoqu stood beside him, with similar doubts in his eyes.

Everyone greeted them one after another, especially when they faced Xia Huoqu.

Shi Jiacheng spoke loudly, and channeled to Xia Huo: "Deputy Xia, I heard that you have picked honey that has a great tonic effect. Let's ask if we can exchange some with you."
