Chapter 808 Feeding Medicine
When Xia Qing walked to the door of the sheep shed, she heard a rustling sound coming from inside. It should be that the two cubs running around had gone into the nest and hid.
When there was no sound inside, Xia Qing called the sheep boss, opened the door of the sheep shed and closed it when approaching.
Why bring the sheep boss? Because squirrels and sheep are both four-legged animals, and the sheep boss eats grass, bringing it may reduce the fear of the red squirrel cubs.
After entering the sheep shed, the sheep boss sniffed the water in the basin and the empty plate next to it. After confirming that there was no food here, he lay down next to it and started chewing.
Xia Qing walked to the haystack, put a small cucumber on the hay outside the squirrel nest she had arranged by herself in the haystack, and waited quietly.
Red squirrels are animals with a very sensitive sense of smell, and the scent of the green light cucumber cubes was quickly captured by them. But about three minutes later, a squirrel cub poked its head out and quickly took the cucumber cubes in. Xia Qing didn't hear any chewing sounds, which meant that the little guy with no hair on his ears swallowed the cucumber cubes directly or hid them in his cheeks.
Xia Qing put the second piece of cucumber cubes on the ground, and the brave cub with no hair on his ears ran out and took the cucumber cubes away.
After the third and fourth pieces, Xia Qing put the cucumber cubes in the palm of his hand and stretched his palm to the red squirrel's nest.
These three little red squirrels were born and raised in the sheep shed. They were familiar with Xia Qing who came in every day to put water and food, but this did not mean that they were not afraid of Xia Qing's huge body, otherwise they would not hide.
Xia Qing stood by the haystack with his palm raised, waiting quietly.
It was still the bravest cub who couldn't resist the temptation. After more than a dozen attempts, he ran out and quickly took the cucumber cubes in Xia Qing's hand. Although the speed of this little guy is not as fast as its mother, it is much faster than ordinary squirrels. It is also a speed evolutionist, and it is likely to survive after leaving its mother.
After this bold cub ate six cucumber cubes, the other one also began to snatch food from Xia Qing's hand, and Xiao Feimao still hid in the nest and refused to come out. The fright and physical weakness may have made it lose its appetite, or it may not be as fast as the other two and could not grab food.
In the evolutionary forest, cubs that cannot compete for food will not grow up. Even the nest of hairless chicks under the eaves of Xia Qing's corridor will stretch their necks to get closer to the food after the big swallow brings the insect back, and at the same time flap their small fleshy wings to try to push away the little swallows in the same nest, so as to compete for the opportunity to eat first.
Xia Qing was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Until the two healthy cubs ate more than 20 small cucumber cubes and were no longer interested in the cucumber cubes, Xiao Feimao slowly crawled out of the haystack, staring at the cucumber cubes in Xia Qing's palm with his black little eyes, and his brown-red beard trembled a few times.
After a long time, it dragged its dull, messy and sparse tail, supported its shaved body with its weak legs, and staggered on the hay to Xia Qing's palm.
Xia Qing did not move, and watched it calmly. Changes in emotions and heartbeats will affect the strength of the bioelectric current in the body, thereby causing subtle changes in the biomagnetic field. Most wild animals are very sensitive, and her magnetic field changes may stimulate this weak little flying hair.
This weak cub with flying hair on its ears, which Xia Qing confirmed as brain evolution, did not eat the cucumber cubes in Xia Qing's palm. It slowly climbed down Xia Qing's arm and climbed onto her shoulder.
At this moment, an irrepressible joy rose in Xia Qing's heart, changing her magnetic field, but the weak little squirrel still squatted on her shoulder.
Xia Qing raised her gloved left hand and slowly held the little flying hair in her palm.
After being held, Xiao Feimao shivered with fear and his body became stiff, but he did not struggle or call for help, because Xia Qing gave him a familiar and non-dangerous feeling.
Xia Qing's mouth curled up slightly. Xiao Feimao did not completely trust her, so why did it climb from the haystack to her shoulders? Is it because the Yi stone on her neck is larger than the one hanging on the wall?
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Feimao, let's take medicine, and we will get better soon after taking the medicine."
Gently touching Xiao Feimao's little head, Xia Qing took it back to the house, took out the special medicine bottle from the refrigerator, used a dropper to extract two milliliters and fed it to it, and then sucked another milliliter of freshly squeezed X nutrient solution to feed it. In addition to quickly replenishing physical strength, X nutrient solution also has the effect of repairing physical injuries, which is suitable for Xiao Feimao's current situation. After feeding, Xia Qing applied anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agents to the wounds on Xiao Feimao's body before putting it back on the haystack.
After the little fellow was freed, he staggered into the den and hid. Xia Qing said cheerfully, "Since your attitude is still decent, I won't charge you for feeding the medicine this time. You still owe me 46,000 points."
As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, the red squirrel mother ran in with puffy cheeks. Seeing Xia Qing standing next to the haystack, her hair exploded and she went in like a flash of lightning.
Xia Qing...
This freeloader!
She saved the wolf and raised pigs for the wolf, all for the Yishi; she saved the cubs in the belly of the little white hair, and plucked her hair and gave her a toad head to express her gratitude; but this freeloader, from being injured last winter until now, has been eating and drinking from her, not only does he not give her supplies, gratitude, or thank-you gifts, but he also acts like he has seen a ghost when he sees her. Who the hell can he reason with!
However, she found the green chestnut and the hidden valley by stealing the freeloaders, so it was not a loss.
Xia Qing mixed the remaining cucumber cubes and the remaining spinach juice and served them all to the sheep boss. When it finished eating and was in a good mood, they discussed, "Boss, let's go to the reservoir to play with the water wheel? We should water the No. 11 shed to plant sweet potatoes. Don't you like to eat sweet potato leaves? How about we plant more so that you can pick and eat?"
Shed No. 11 was the shed where the winter rapeseed was planted before. Now the rapeseed has been harvested, and there are still a few green mung beans growing sparsely in the shed. Xia Qing has spread the fertilizer, watered it thoroughly, and then plowed it, and then the green sweet potato vines can be cut.
Last year, Xia Qing cut sweet potato vines before the second rain. As a result, the sweet potato seedlings that had just been cut not only died a quarter of the time in the rain, but the quality of the remaining plants also declined.
Learning from last year's failure, Xia Qing decided to propagate sweet potatoes after the second rain and protect them with Yishi during the third rain. In this way, she can harvest one acre of green light sweet potatoes by the end of autumn.
She eats the sweet potatoes and gives the sweet potato vines to the sheep boss. Perfect!
"Meh." The foodie sheep boss had no objection and happily followed Xia Qing to play with the squeaking water-drawing bicycle.
The sheep boss was heavy and strong, and this modified bicycle that had been used for more than half a year could no longer hold up. Xia Qing fixed the deformed frame with iron wire and iron plate. There was still noise when using it, especially the power-generating bicycle at home.
Xia Qing used the yellow light wheat to be harvested in a few days as a reward and asked Jiang Ying to weld two sturdy sheep bicycles for her. Jiang Ying provided all the materials and labor.
Jiang Ying also modified bicycles. Some of the water-drawing bicycles that Hu Zi exchanged with the lords before were modified by Jiang Ying.
This little girl is practical, capable, diligent and studious. Zhao's mother likes Jiang Ying very much, saying that she is a good seedling, but it's a pity that she was delayed by natural disasters.
But then again, who is still alive now who has not been delayed by natural disasters? Tang Huai also said that if it weren't for the natural disaster, he would be a well-known archaeologist now.
After giving the eldest a piece of ration to let him work hard, Xia Qing carried a hoe to the sweet potato terrace to check the growth of sweet potatoes, count how many sweet potato vines can be cut, and whether it is enough to plant an acre of land.
If not enough, Xia Qing can exchange some.
On the list of lords to exchange materials that Zheng Kui sent to Xia Qing a few days ago, there were a total of 8 territories in the east and south, and green and yellow light sweet potato seedlings were exchanged for materials. Uniformly, every lord who took out materials wanted green light rice or green light corn seeds.
The reason why Zheng Kui sent it to Xia Qing instead of Zhong Tao was because Zhong Tao had retired and became the warehouse manager of the Ninth Planting Center. He was receiving truckloads of building materials from the safe zone to build employee dormitories and canteens. (End of this chapter)
