Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 222 Countdown to the Rainy Season

A nest of frightened mutant little snakes suddenly jumped out of the rapeseed field, scaring the little kid so much that he jumped up.

Sheng Qingyang looked as if he was used to it. He picked up the retractable net he was carrying and quickly cast it over, catching a flying snake.

The remaining escaped little snakes were quickly slapped to death by Meng Er.

Sheng Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Meng Er shook his head, secretly proud.

He was highlighted again. The little girl pouted and complained in her heart.

As a result, the rapeseed in the field where the mutant snake lived grew short and rough and did not produce seeds.

Sheng Qingyang sighed lightly, a little worried about the harvest from this acre of rapeseed field.

"Kosode, are the flying chickens you raise useful?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded. "It's useful and well behaved. It hunts for insects to eat in the fields every day and protects the crops very well."

Sheng Qingyang was a little tempted. It seemed that he would have to raise two flying chickens to help catch small insects and snakes. Otherwise, next year, when the rapeseed fields were expanded on a large scale, it would be too much for manpower to catch the small snakes and insects hiding under the soil.

But then he thought that the harvest from the neighboring field No. 4 was even worse than his own, and Sheng Qingyang felt a little happy again.

She actually has a talent for farming!

Zhao Xiaoxiu understood his master's expression, spread his hands and smiled, "Master, as long as you are happy."

With someone's help, Sheng Qingyang finished the work that would have taken him two days to complete alone in just half a day.

As soon as Meng Er arrived at site No. 3, he seemed to have endless energy.

After helping to harvest the rapeseed, I immediately helped move it to an open space to dry it. Finally, I picked up a hoe, dug out all the rapeseed roots in an acre of land, dug them aside and burned them.

He kept an acre of land tidy.

Of course, he didn't get home until midnight. Zhao Xiaoxiu and Xiwa had already returned and were having sex in their dreams.

But this time his work was not in vain. Early the next morning, when Sheng Qingyang came to see his little apprentice, he brought two fat, low-level mutant eels. He gave one to the little apprentice and the other to him.

The two were young men and women in their early twenties. They smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Zhao Xiaoxiu tilted her head, looked at Uncle Meng who was smiling like a fool, then looked at her master who was smiling gently and looked like a fool, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Sheng Qingyang turned around and looked at him with a serious face, "Raise the knife higher, practice seriously, and stop slacking off!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly put away her smile and practiced the new moves seriously.

Although she now increasingly feels that the knife skills she has learned are more suitable for killing and skinning fish, and are not as useful for controlling plants as they are for dealing with mutants.

But inheritance is inheritance. Only when you learn and master it can it be passed down from her to the next generation.

The four-year-old girl practiced seriously and sweated profusely.

The patrol station truck passed by the territory with the radio on, and the weather forecaster issued a warning in advance:

[It is expected that starting from May 27, Taoyuan Base and Jiangcheng will enter a month of continuous heavy rain. All citizens are requested to prepare sufficient food, medicine, and ammunition reserves and stay at home during the rainstorm.]

[Special report from the planting area: Lords, please make preventive preparations for mutated crops before the rainy season arrives. Move your settlements away from all mutated crop groups, and prepare for protection against mutated animals invading crops! ]

"Hey!" Mo Shigui drove a military truck loaded with cargo and stopped at the entrance of Territory No. 13. He shouted to attract everyone's attention.

Zhao Gang, who was hammering rapeseed on the concrete ground, and his group looked over.

Mo Shigui picked up the microphone, and his voice came from the roof speaker: "Would you like some suppressant powder? The rainy season is coming soon, and the new suppressant powder can be sprinkled on the ground to control the frenzy!" In fact, before setting out for the city yesterday, Mo Shigui had notified all the lords through the radio, but no one paid attention to him at that time.

These inhibitory powders are the same as the powders sprinkled in the river at the Taoyuan base. They can kill some low-level mutated aquatic microorganisms and meet the villagers' daily irrigation needs.

Of course, it also has another important function - it can slightly suppress the frenzy of mutant plants during the rainy season.

When we were clearing the planting area before, we had spread this powder over a large area of ​​the open space, so that the mutated weeds in the territory did not grow wildly.

The item was good and the price was reasonable. At least Mo Shigui felt that the lords of Area B could afford it.

But the Taoyuan base is provided free of charge to farmers, but the lords who want the base have to pay for it.

Of course, if you don't mind the trouble, you can also secretly go to Taoyuan Base to carry back the river water sprinkled with medicine powder and pour it on the ground, which can save a lot of points.

There is a risk of being beaten to death.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father looked at each other, and Zhao Gang said, "Want some?"

Ever since seeing that the rapeseed in Sheng Qingyang's field and the crops grown by other lords had different yields, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that these crops still needed careful care in order to have a good harvest.

He nodded immediately, dropped the small hammer used to hit the rapeseed, stood up and ran back to the bedroom to get the points card.

"Let's go together." Zhao Gang took his daughter's hand, and the father and daughter pulled the hoverboard to the entrance together.

Seeing someone coming out, Mo Shigui was overjoyed and immediately jumped out of the car to ask, "I asked the experts at Taoyuan Base, and they said that the mutant crops sprinkled with drug powder can at least suppress the frenzy by 15%."

"But if it is used as a weed killer pesticide, it needs to be diluted with water. One box of powder is enough for one acre of land."

Then he asked Zhao Gang: "Do you plan to use it only for this rainy season or do you also store some for daily use?"

"First take one rainy season, which is about the amount required for one acre of land," said Zhao Gang.

Mo Shigui was familiar with the situation of his family's planting area. Zhao Gang's family also planted evolutionary crops that were not distributed by the base. While selecting the medicinal powder, he asked tentatively:

"Do you plan to sell some of your evolutionary crop seeds?"

Zhao Gang took the five boxes of powdered medicine, motioned for Zhao Xiaoxiu to swipe the card, and replied calmly: "We'll see after the rainy season."

Mo Shigui was delighted and felt very hopeful!
"One bottle is 200 points, so I'll charge you 1000 points in total."

After swiping the card, Mo Shigui returned it to Zhao Xiaoxiu and touched her little head. Before Zhao Gang could kill her, he quickly got into the car, closed the door, and drove away.

Zhao Gang: “Childish.”

Zhao Xiaoxiu: “.”

The little girl shook her messed up hair, dragged five boxes of medicine powder home, and shouted, "Sister Monkey!"

A child and a monkey took the initiative to take on the job of spreading the powder.

There are only three days left until the 27th, and the adults have to hurry to knock out all the harvested rapeseed, weigh it, register it, and store it.

This batch of rapeseed must be kept for seeds, which are very important materials.

And after dealing with Zhao Xiaoxiu's family, we have to deal with Sheng Qingyang's family.

We must hurry up and finish growing the rapeseed in the next two days, and also reserve some time to protect the planting sites.

Although the evolved sweet potato will not go crazy because of the rainy season, it is something that needs attention.

If we don't take proper precautions, the place will be trampled and destroyed by the crazy mutants during the rainy season, and all the hard work of the previous three months will be in vain.
