On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 1071 Changing Doors
Through the camera, Xia Qing watched as the old wolf placed the body of its companion in a crevice in its ruined territory, then used its claws to dig out the rubble and bricks under the weeds and buried its companion bit by bit.

Then, the disheveled old wolf stood on the ruins, looked up at the night sky and howled silently.

Xia Qing stood up and opened a corner of the blackout curtains in the living room, looking toward the ruins on the south side of the yard.

From this angle, Xia Qing couldn't see the old wolf. He could only see a large area of ​​dead grass swaying in the wind above the ruins, dotted with stars.

This scene reminded Xia Qing of the time when she was tasked with clearing the weeds outside the safety zone wall after the first rain in the sixth year of the natural disaster.

That night was the same as today, there was no moon in the sky, only a few stars flickering in the dark clouds. Xia Qing stood under the high wall with a backpack and a hatchet in hand. No matter which angle she looked up from, she could not see the wall stained red by her father's blood. The overwhelming grass, which was much taller than her, made her breathless and unable to make any sound.

Xia Qing lowered the curtains and entered the kitchen, filled the large iron pot with filtered water, and struck a match to light the firewood.

The clean and fluffy Lao Er came over and lay on the firewood looking at her. Xia Qing gently stroked Lao Er's forehead which had no scars.

When the sound of small bubbles rising and breaking could be heard from the pot, Xia Qing lifted the lid and scooped out the boiling water, poured it into a clean bathtub, added cold water and medicine, and took Lao Er to push open the deformed and creaking security door, pointing to the direction of the ruins outside the window, "Lao Er, go call Lao Lang in to take a bath and kill the insects."

This old wolf was brought here by the second brother. In order to let Xia Qing treat the old wolf, the second brother also paid a pebble. The relationship between the two is very good.

Although the second brother was not a brain evolutionist, he was smarter than the wolfhounds before the disaster and could understand Xia Qing's meaning. He climbed up the ruins and quickly brought the old wolf over.

Xia Qing had just given the old wolf a bath the night before after it was caught in the rain and applied insect repellent powder, so its fur and skin were in much better condition than the second one.

When Xia Qing checked and applied insecticide to it, the old wolf was very calm and obedient, as if it had handed its body to Xia Qing, but its soul had gone somewhere else.

For the first time, Xia Qing felt complete trust from the old wolf.

After washing the dirt off the old wolf's fur and letting it soak in the bathtub, Xia Qing took a shovel to the ruins, added soil to the place where the wolf's body was buried, and then sterilized and disinfected the old wolf's shack, replaced it with the thickest dry straw mat, and pulled out the weeds around it before returning to the house to get the old wolf out of the water.

After dealing with the two wolves and Xia Qing finished taking a shower, it was already past three in the morning.

She felt that she had just closed her eyes while lying on the bed when she heard the sound of a rooster crowing. She closed her eyes and listened quietly for a few seconds to the sounds of roosters crowing, birds singing and flowing water in the territory. Xia Qing slowly stretched her limbs, then picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table to check the latest battle situation between Liehuo and Mieshi.

Yang Jin hadn't contacted her yet, proving that the two sides were still in a fierce confrontation. Xin Yu, Tang Huai, and Xu Juan all sent her messages, with different details, but telling the same story:

The Fiery Team stole the Holy Stone of the World-Destroying Cult, which triggered a fierce conflict between the two factions. The Fiery Fire Mountain was blown up, and more than 200 people were killed or injured, causing heavy losses. Because the two sides made too much noise, the authorities were alerted.

Xin Yu's message also included another piece of information: the pollution-free spring of Liehuo Mountain might have been destroyed. That spring was the main reason why the Liehuo Team moved into Liehuo Mountain, which was more than ten miles away from the Huiyi Safe Zone. It was also the source of Liehuo's fortune. If the spring was really destroyed, it would be much more difficult for Liehuo to improve the quality of their crops and medicines.

Xia Qing's raised mouth corners slowly fell when she saw the last message. The North Gate of Territory No. 3 and the North Gate of Northern District 1 indicated that the old wolf passed through these two gates at five in the morning and left the territory.

Maybe it was because she witnessed it burying its companion last night, Xia Qing now felt a sense of desolation and resoluteness when looking at Lao Si's back.

Although she didn't know what it was going to do, Xia Qing believed it would come back in the evening. Because its stomach had not been properly adjusted, it could not eat raw meat yet and had to take medicine every morning and evening.

Xia Qing looked through the cameras and found that the eldest was eating grass in shed No. 15, and the second was holding a small basket and catching insects, with a smile on his face again.

The second one should have completed the task of guarding the cubs and can now live in the territory permanently!
Xia Qing got up and went downstairs, and found that Xiao Feimao was not in the room either. The red squirrel mother and Qiang cub who were eating free food in the cage were jumping up and down. Morning is the active period of red squirrels, and these two guys also want to go out to find food. But they have not defecated after eating aggressive grass, and they are now on a diet and taking medicine, so they must be locked in the cage.

Not only these two, but also the free-range eagle in Territory No. 8 was locked in a cage by Xin Yu.

Xia Qing put on protective clothing and went out. He first walked around the greenhouse and checked the red-leaf bamboo forest that had quieted down. Then he came to the fish pond and asked the wolfhound who was feeding the fish, "Second brother, what are you doing out at night?"

The second wolfhound raised his head and gave Xia Qing a happy smile.

Seeing it so happy, Xia Qing didn't ask any questions. He wiped the grass leaves from the corners of its mouth and let it continue to feed the fish. He went home to clean up the weeds in the chicken coop and released all the chickens in the cages.

At the beginning of this spring, there were 1 chickens, 15 male and 16 females, in Territory No. 12. After the weather warmed up, from early February to the end of May, 120 hens laid eggs and hatched 56 chicks. Minus the chickens that died for various reasons and were killed by Xia Qing for meat, there are now 18 left, of which belong to the idol.

That is to say, the part of the fifty chickens that Xia Qing agreed with his idol to raise for him when he exchanged for the killing agent last year, which has not yet been sent to Territory No. 7.

There were not many chickens left belonging to Xia Qing, but the eggs they laid were enough for Xia Qing to eat.

After Xia Qing cleaned the chicken coop and finished her breakfast, she drove the tiller to harvest the north-south boundary of the territory, because the people from Territory No. 15 and Territory No. 17 who were helping her clear the weeds in the territory were coming soon.

It was just a coincidence that when Xia Qing arrived at the north gate of the territory, in addition to helping her clear out the people from Qingcaodi, the people who came to deliver goods to her also arrived.

This morning, Xia Qing took a screenshot of the surveillance footage of East Zone 1, circled the area where the laboratory was built, and sent it directly to his idol, asking if he could exchange it for an entrance door with a facial recognition smart door lock like the one in the food storage room of Territory No. 7.

Because the anti-theft door she was using was hit twice last night and was in a terrible state even after it was repaired, Xia Qing decided to replace it with a door that could be opened by scanning the face instead of kicking it.

After installing this door, no one except Xia Qing and her animal friends can enter her home through this door, and the safety factor is improved.
