Chapter 633: Revenge of the Wolves
Xia Qing opened her eyes when the alarm rang for the first time at 1:30 a.m.
She dressed and washed quickly, went downstairs to have a simple but hearty breakfast - steamed eggs, and then drove the micro-tillage machine from the warehouse in the shelf building, and took her two companions with her to the hut beside the farmland, cutting the one-meter-high weeds all the way.
Hu Zifeng, Dajiang and Xiaojiang, who were on duty from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., went to the inner room to catch up on their sleep, while Xia Qing, Chen Cheng and Eryong watched the rest of the night together.
According to the weather forecast, there will be a long period of red-level weeds at around 7 a.m. tomorrow, so it is necessary to conserve energy in advance to deal with emergencies.
At this moment, it was drizzling with yellow-level weeds.
Xia Qing went to the breeding greenhouse first and saw that the sick wolf was already digging weeds with its claws. Xia Qing praised earnestly, "Old Two, you did a good job. If you are tired, take a rest. I will come back and we will pull together."
The sick wolf raised his rusty eyes and stood on the bumpy ground looking at Xia Qing happily.
Xia Qing smiled, his voice gentle, "Old Two's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, which means that your health is getting better and better. After the rain is over, we will go to the third brother for a physical examination. Maybe your stomach has recovered."
In two days, Xia Qing and the sick wolf will finish drinking the internal organ damage treatment potion, and it is time to have a physical examination. If the stomach of the sick wolf has recovered to the level where it can eat raw meat, it can return to the wolf pack.
Xia Qing rubbed its hairy neck reluctantly before checking the livestock, poultry and insects in the breeding greenhouse. With the protection of Yishi, these animals were not affected by the rain and were all resting.
When Xia Qing, wearing night vision goggles, checked the chickens, he found that a female Luhua chicken was not crowded with other chickens, but lying in the nest where it laid eggs.
Xia Qing was delighted and reached in to touch it. The chicken immediately made angry cackling sounds and pecked her hand with its mouth. The chickens all clucked and clucked.
Although the chicken's mouth was sharp, it could not peck through the protective gloves Xia Qing was wearing. After touching an egg under the chicken's belly, Xia Qing excitedly shouted, "Come quickly, Lao Er, there are hens brooding!"
The sick wolf, who was busy digging grass, immediately rushed to Xia Qing's side. It didn't understand what brooding meant, but it could see that Xia Qing was very happy, so it was happy too.
Xia Qing pointed to the basket of eggs on the shelf on the north wall, "Lao Er, go and get that basket."
The fresher the eggs for hatching chicks, the better. The basket that Xia Qing pointed to was filled with eggs that were laid two or three days ago.
The sick wolf carefully brought the basket over, and Xia Qing put the eggs in the basket one by one into the brooding hens. The hen immediately used her sharp beak to pull the egg under her body to protect it, fearing that Xia Qing would snatch it away again. Xia Qing felt relieved.
She put 19 eggs in total, plus the one the hen was protecting, a total of 20. If everything goes well, these 20 eggs should be able to hatch 10 green light chicks.
She needs to hatch and raise at least 50 green light chickens this year to supply the idol's chicken and egg needs. This was one of the conditions she and her idol agreed on for exchanging for anti-fungal agents before the snow fell last year.
Even if it wasn't for the purpose of reaching an exchange, Xia Qing wanted to raise more chickens. Because raising more chickens can not only eat more eggs and chicken, but also accumulate more green light chicken manure. With high-quality fertilizers, crops and vegetables in the fields can grow better.
After stuffing the eggs, Xia Qing went to the greenhouse and found that the sheep boss was quietly lying under the night light chewing the cud. She rubbed the sheep boss's head, told it the good news that the hen was brooding, and then began to inspect the green light vegetables in the shed.
Hu Zifeng and his team had just cleaned up the fields, so there were no large weeds or vegetables in the vegetable patch. The yellow-light wheat and rapeseed were guarded by someone, and the green-light wheat was guarded by Yishi, so they were all safe. Xia Qing said hello to Eryong, and with an iron umbrella on her head, she began to patrol the territory.
The second half of the night is the time when people are most likely to feel tired and sleepy. Xia Qing turned on the Lord's intercom, listened to the sound of rain hitting the iron umbrella, and chatted with everyone in the channel.
"Sister Yan, how is the situation over there? I just counted, and there are only 156 rapeseeds left in the field." Zhu Li asked her neighbor Yuan Yan. Before, when they were not familiar with each other, Zhu Li called Yuan Yan "sister-in-law", but now that they are familiar with each other, she directly changed her words to sister.
"I didn't count them, but they looked sparse. I wonder how many will be left after the rain." Like Zhu Li, Yuan Yan also asked Qi Fu to rest. She led people to watch in the second half of the night so that Qi Fu could have enough energy to deal with the red-level rain tomorrow morning.
Zhu Li complained, "We have been busy all winter, and we may not be able to make back the money we invested in seeds, labor and fertilizer. It's too unprofitable to grow rapeseed."
"It's really unprofitable." Yuan Yan also felt distressed, "If I can't get green-light rapeseed seeds, I plan to grow winter wheat and vegetables this winter instead of rapeseed."
Xia Qing nodded. At this stage, the loss of wintering yellow-light wheat is indeed smaller than that of yellow-light rapeseed. Her plan is the same as Yuan Yan's.
Wen Nengjie sighed, "It's only spring now, and everyone is already thinking about what to plant in winter. It's great."
"Yes, at this time last year, we didn't dare to think about such a long-term thing." Shi Zhong also spoke.
During natural disasters, people are always in danger, especially ordinary people, who can only live one day at a time. No one has the time or energy to think about what to do in half a year or a year. Farming is very hard work, and there is no guarantee of a harvest, but it gives people hope of survival, so they are full of energy.
Xia Qing, standing in the buffer forest, looked up at the No. 9 territory where beams of light kept flashing in the distance. If humans could fight less and cooperate more, they would have a greater chance of survival.
In this regard, humans are not as good as the animals in the evolutionary forest.
"Sister Qing." At about four o'clock in the morning, Er Yong's voice came from the headset intercom, "I just received news that the western wolves and leopards are driving a group of out-of-control large herbivores forward."
Rushing forward, isn't it heading towards the direction of human territory and safe zones?
Damn! Animals do not engage in internal wars within the same tribe, but they remember grudges and will take revenge!
Xia Qing asked calmly, "How many are there?"
"Twenty-three wolves, four leopards, and nearly a hundred herbivores. Because the specific direction of the wolf pack is not clear at present, no warning notice has been issued."
One hundred is already a certain scale. If they rush around, they will attract more animals to run wildly. In the red level of killing rain, it may form a medium or large-scale beast tide, directly attacking human territory and safe areas.
The western wolf pack took advantage of the killing rain to take revenge.
Send someone to stop it now? The combat effectiveness of humans decreases during the killing rain period. Using heavy firepower is likely to cause a killing explosion. How to stop it?
Xia Qing asked, "Have you received the picture?"
If the handsome giant wolf attacks with the western wolf pack, she must leave the territory immediately and go to stop it.
