Chapter 753: Special Training Ends
On the way back from the third day of the special training, Yanlong drove Xia Qing's "broken" car into the No. 3 territory. Exhausted, Xia Qing asked the sheep boss to carry her back to the house, and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room without changing clothes or eating dinner.
When she opened her eyes the next morning, Xia Qing saw half a cucumber in front of her. No need to ask, this was left for her by the sheep boss because she couldn't get up to eat.
Now Xia Qing and the sheep boss are partners who trust each other, so she will not be awakened by the sheep boss walking around, and even when she hears the clattering sound of the boss's hooves, she will feel more at ease and sleep more soundly. This is also the reason why Xia Qing didn't wake up when the sheep boss picked cucumbers, ate half and left half for her.
Why half? Because every time Xia Qing was tired from working in the field, she would pick a cucumber to quench her thirst, half for her and half for the boss. So it was normal for the boss to leave half for her.
Xia Qing took the cucumber to the kitchen and washed it, then went upstairs to take off her protective suit and shower.
In these three days, she learned how to defeat crocodiles without weapons and how to survive in rapids. The purple bumps and sore muscles on her body were all proof of her growth.
Unfortunately, there were no pythons of the right size in the nearby evolution forest, so she didn't see how Yanlong fought with the python. In recent years, Xia Qing had no chance to see it.
Because Yanlong's bodyguard mission in Territory No. 7 will end at the end of the year, this is the last time she will take Xia Qing and Tan Qi for special training. At the end of the year, she will return to Huiyi Base to perform other tasks.
Although she didn't say it, Xia Qing believed that her next battlefield should be near the water, because Yanlong was obviously looking forward to the next mission when he mentioned it.
In the lake and in the rapids, Yanlong's eyes will burst with brilliance that she doesn't usually have. She likes water and likes fighting in water. The mission that makes her look forward to it should be near the water.
Xia Qing shook off the water on her short hair, stretched out her sore arm and grabbed a towel to wipe the water off her body.
Yanlong likes water, so this is not her home. But Xia Qing likes this place, this is her territory, her home, and the place she is desperately trying to protect.
After changing her clothes, Xia Qing started to wash rice again, adding pollution-free spring water and simmering rice porridge over a slow fire.
It's not that she loves to drink rice porridge, but because she has the most rice in her stock of green light food.
At the beginning of last winter, Xia Qing exchanged 400 kilograms of BS-6 green light rice with a content of 4.3‰ of 敕 elements with Yang Jin. In the past six months, in order to regulate her body, reduce the content of 敕elements in her body, and increase the content of elements, Xia Qing has eaten green light food as much as possible. The rice with the largest stock is of course her preferred staple food.
Because she is a high-level evolver, her appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people. She has eaten more than 310 kilograms of rice in more than five months, and now there are more than 80 kilograms left.
After the remaining rice is eaten, her green wheat, green mung beans, green corn, green soybeans, green sweet potatoes and other food crops will mature one after another, and the staple food options will become more abundant.
If you want to have a good harvest in farming, it mainly depends on the weather. In order to successfully harvest these crops, first of all, there should be no extreme natural disasters such as hail, hurricanes, and insect tides in the future, and secondly, the second rainstorm in half a month should not be too fierce.
Humans cannot prevent natural disasters from happening, but can only make full preparations to actively respond to natural disasters. In the next half month, Xia Qing’s main task is to manage farmland, reinforce greenhouses and greenhouses, and minimize losses as much as possible when natural disasters come.
After feeding the chickens, she just walked out of the deserted village and met the sheep boss holding a small basket to catch insects. She immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Boss, good morning, thank you for picking cucumbers for me last night."
The sheep boss saw that his younger brother became lively again, put the small basket with a few dead insects on the ground, and turned to eat grass.
"Okay, leave it to me, Boss, take a rest." Xia Qing picked up the small basket very naturally, catching insects while patrolling the territory.
Locusts, crickets, cabbage worms, caterpillars, centipedes, snakes... Xia Qing caught whatever she saw.
When patrolling the reservoir, Xia Qing poured a small part of the insects into the iron cages of the big fish in the reservoir to feed the ten green and yellow light big fish transferred from the water tank to the reservoir. A large part of the insects was opened to cover the fish pond and poured into the pond to feed the small fish fry.
The small fish fry grew very fast after hatching, and the big ones were already two centimeters long. After the insects were poured in, the small fish fry immediately gathered around and bit the insects. The water surface was covered with circles of ripples due to the movements of the small fish.
Because there were always water birds such as egrets, night herons, spot-billed ducks, and snakes such as water snakes and grass snakes, they always took advantage of Xia Qing's inattention to eat her precious fish fry in the fish pond, so Xia Qing could only cover the entire pond with a fishing net to prevent birds.
This fishing net was exchanged by Xia Qing from Territory No. 10. Territory No. 10 also dug a fish pond, and they also faced this problem. Xia Qing heard Shi's mother say that Shi Zhong wove a fishing net at the alliance meeting, so he asked him to weave another one.
If you can prevent water birds, the loss of fish fry can be reduced a lot.
In order to protect the fish fry in the rain, Xia Qing decided to use two methods.
One is the method of Territory No. 5, first raise the pond dam around the fish pond to prevent the water flow formed on the ground during the rain from flowing into the fish pond, and the second is to use a fishing net to drive the fish fry into the small fish pond one day before the rain, and then cover the small fish pond with a rainproof cloth. Doing so can prevent the rain from falling into or flowing into the fish pond, resulting in an increase in the content of rain elements in the pond water and a decrease in the quality of the fish fry.
The risk of doing so is that the wind is too strong during the rain and the rainproof cloth will be blown over, causing the rain to fall into the fish pond.
So, Xia Qing has a second way. When using a fishing net to drive fish, catch some fry and temporarily raise them in a water tank. After the rain, when the content of toxic elements in the atmosphere and water returns to normal, put the fry back into the pond and let them continue to grow.
The allies thought Xia Qing's method was good and decided to use two methods to spread the risk. Moreover, in order to further improve safety, they wanted to put the water tank in a hidden valley to directly shield the toxic elements during the rainy season.
Xia Qing followed suit and transferred some fry to the hidden valley like everyone else. In this way, she no longer had to use a small piece of Yi stone to protect the fry in the water tank.
After feeding the fish, Xia Qing continued to carry a small basket and patrol the hillside. When passing by the terraced fields where green light rice was planted, Xia Qing sighed as she looked at the five BS-6 green light rice seedlings in the rice field through the insect-proof net.
These five rice seedlings were planted from unhulled rice seeds she picked out from 400 kilograms of green light rice. Because the BS-6 green light rice from Baisan Base tastes good, Xia Qing is full of expectations for these five rice seedlings.
However, these five rice seedlings may not be acclimatized. Not only are they not growing as well as the J-2 rice seedlings cultivated in Territory No. 7, but their toxic element content has also increased by 0.3 points to 4.6‰.
According to this growth trend, even if these five BS-6 rice can bloom, set seeds, and mature smoothly, the quality will be reduced from green light to yellow light.
This is the effect of planting in high-yi element soil. If it is changed to ordinary soil, the effect will be worse.
This is really a big blow to the enthusiasm of farmers. (End of this chapter)
