Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 238 Cultivator

"The total is 190 points. I will pay you another 10 points." Zhao Xiaoxiu took out his father's points card and skillfully swiped the points.

She raised her little hand and waved, "Goodbye."

Sister Monkey also bared her teeth in a very serious manner and showed what she thought was a gentle smile.

Little did it know that the two hunters on the opposite side were so frightened by its smile that they took their things and turned and ran away.

The first order of the day was successfully completed, and Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou couldn't help but high-five happily.

Two low-level mutant owls were moved to the open space in front of the store. Monkey Sister ran home to fetch water. Zhao Xiaoxiu drew out her two swords and began to pack up. While she was busy, she waited for other hunters to enter the store.

However, the sun came out, and all the major hunting groups followed the army back to the city. Today, Zhao Xiaoxiu's store was only open this once.

No one came in the afternoon, but Zhao Xiaoxiu was not disappointed. She closed the shop, locked the doors and windows, and asked Sister Monkey to carry her to Territory No. 16 at the entrance of the territory to play with Sister Miaomiao.

Unfortunately, they came to nothing. Jiang Ning's entire family had gone into the city, and there was no one left in the territory.

So, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister could only stand at the entrance of the territory and watch the wanderers in the opposite camp move.

The rainy season has passed, and the authorities do not allow vagrants to continue to stay near the planting area. Early this morning, Mo Shigui brought people over to issue a notice.

The wanderers had been packing up for the whole morning and were just starting to move.

"No wonder no one comes to the store to sell things." Zhao Xiaoxiu sighed helplessly, with her hands on her hips, "It turns out that the wanderers are busy moving."

Sister Monkey squeaked twice to show that she was listening to her.

In fact, he was squatting on a big rock with his back to Zhao Xiaoxiu, bending over, holding a snack bag that Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Zhao Gang to make in his arms, and peeling melon seeds and eating them.

Of course, it did not forget the cub beside it. After peeling four or five melon seeds, it handed them to Zhao Xiaoxiu's mouth in one go to feed her.

Zhao Xiaoxiu watched others moving house very seriously and swallowed the food subconsciously. Then he found that he had eaten a mouthful of monkey hair and quickly spat it out.

Another monkey paw was stretched out in front of her. In the pink palm were four or five pitiful melon seeds mixed with a few monkey hairs. Zhao Xiaoxiu pushed them back and declined politely: "Sister Monkey, eat them yourself. Don't give them to me. I don't like melon seeds today."

Sister Monkey tilted her head to look at her in confusion, then responded with a "squeak", stuffed the food into her mouth, and ate it with relish.

The wind blew, Zhao Xiaoxiu lay on the rock with her little hands under her head, looking at a few pink clouds floating in the light blue sky. She felt that they looked like sheep, rabbits, and also like a lot of strange furniture.

The smell of evaporating water vapor mixed with the faint fragrance of green leaves penetrates into the tip of the nose. It is the scent of nature.

The wanderers left one after another. They looked at the planting area with longing and saw the little girl lying on her back on the stone. She looked so carefree and enviable.

"I really want to stay." Someone said regretfully.

Others said, "This is not our land. It cannot accommodate wandering people like us."

If possible, they also want to return to their original land, like the lords here, reclaim wasteland, grow crops, and have a stable home.

But their land has long since become a paradise for mutants, and they can never go back.

Zhao Xiaoxiu sat up and leaned on Monkey Sister's steaming body, watching the group of wanderers walk away unwillingly until they gradually disappeared.

"Sister Monkey, we are so lucky." Zhao Xiaoxiu hugged Sister Monkey tightly. As expected, she was sweating all over from the heat.

Why is the weather so hot? How can Sister Monkey sweat so much?

Zhao Xiaoxiu pulled Sister Hou's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go home and take a shower."

Sister Monkey nodded, put away the snack bag and hung it around her neck, picked up Zhao Xiaoxiu with one hand, and ran home shouting "Oh oh oh". The setting sun overlapped the shadows of the child and the monkey, stretching them very long.

Xiwa and his two companions who went out to look for the machinery factory did not return until late at night the next day.

In order not to disturb the sleeping people, the three of them drove the car quietly into the territory and slept in the car all night without getting out.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu woke up, the adults were already in the parking lot in front of the courtyard, having a heated discussion around a pile of huge steel objects.

Xiwa stood alone in the center, holding a scribbled drawing in his hand, explaining his design plan to Zhao Gang and others.

He plans to rebuild a tiller and a rapeseed planter himself.

The patrol station also prepared tillers for the lords, but there were only three of them.

A tiller can plow ten acres of land a day, and the lords take turns renting it, which is just enough.

But this is assuming driver proficiency and machine failure.

In fact, there are only two lords in Area B who can use tillers, one of them is Zhao Gang, and the other is Lord No. 5.

Mo Shigui just came to inform Zhao Gang, asking him to go to the patrol station with the No. 5 land lord tomorrow to train other lords and teach them how to drive tillage machines.

In the long run, it is more convenient to have your own tillage machine.

After listening to Xiwa's mumbling, Zhao Gang patted him on the shoulder:

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. How long will it take for the first tiller to be put into use?"

Xiwa was flattered. He quickly calculated in his mind and said excitedly, "Three days! I guarantee that I can make a tilling machine in three days."

Zhao Gang was very satisfied at this time, and patted Xiwa's shoulder again, this time with more force to show that he took it seriously, but he didn't expect that Xiwa staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Meng Er helped him up speechlessly, and Xiwa said awkwardly: "Thank you, thank you. Wait a minute!"

Xiwa suddenly looked at Meng Er enthusiastically and said to Zhao Gang, "Boss, if I let Brother Meng Er help me, I think I can make this tiller the day after tomorrow!"

Meng Er was stunned. Mechanical work requires high technical skills. How can a mere fish like him help?
Xiwa: "Brother, you can screw in the screws!"

It would be a shame if you had a pair of abnormally hard hands but didn't use them to tighten screws.

Meng Er gritted his teeth in anger, "Xiaowa, thank you!"

"You're welcome." Xiwa smiled humbly, making Meng Er too embarrassed to hit him with his clenched fists.

Zhao Gang patted Meng Er's shoulder with one hand and Xiwa's shoulder with the other, "Then you two should take responsibility together."

After giving the instructions, he called Grandma Meng and Meng Da to frame the land to be reclaimed and mark a location.

"Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu stood at the gate of the yard and opened his arms to his father, indicating that he wanted to go together.

As soon as Zhao Gang saw his daughter, his eyes softened instantly. He stepped forward, picked up the little girl, lifted her above his head, and let her ride on his shoulders.

The three adults and one child worked together to mark out the wasteland to be reclaimed.

Zhao Xiaoxiu rode on her father's shoulders the entire time without her feet touching the ground.

There are hillsides on the south and low terrain on the east, so the newly reclaimed wasteland is located in the flattest and most fertile areas on the west and north.

When the time comes and you drive a tillage machine, you only need to draw the frame according to the markings you have made now, and you can make neat square pieces of land.
