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

Chapter 742 Second-hand Car

After handing the rabbit to Zhao Ze, Xia Qing returned to his own territory and continued to clear the weeds growing in the open space outside the greenhouse.

It has rained a lot these days, and the weeds are growing very fast. They must be cleared regularly, otherwise the tall weeds will not only block the sunlight, but the pests and microorganisms in the grass may spread into the greenhouse and threaten the growth of crops.

The weeds outside the greenhouse on the flat farmland are easy to clean. Xia Qing can mow them in a few turns with the tiller. The weeds grown on the terraced fields on the hillside and more than 20 meters away from the woods need to be cleaned manually by Xia Qing.

Manually clearing weeds outside the greenhouse after rain is a dangerous farm job.

Because there must be rudimentary species among these weeds. The rudimentary species may have hard stems, the juice may be highly toxic, and the edges of the leaves may have sharp teeth that can cut through the first-level protective clothing in the wild.

In addition, dense weeds may harbor insects and pathogenic microorganisms that are resistant to insect repellents. Being bitten by these insects or infected by pathogenic microorganisms may result in death.

The weather becomes hot and humid in this season, and it is very uncomfortable to work in protective clothing, so many people take chances and do not wear protective clothing, or only wear protective boots and protective pants, which makes working outside the greenhouse more dangerous.

Just yesterday, the investigation team used loudspeakers and intercoms to broadcast the latest danger announcements:
Four people in the northern region were not wearing protective masks when they were clearing weeds. They were bitten by evolved flying ants carrying deadly pathogens, which caused sepsis and death. The Territory Management Department issued a danger warning, reminding the lords to wear protective clothing and protective masks correctly when working outside the greenhouse.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Xia Qing was weeding with a hoe next to the greenhouse in the northern buffer forest of Territory No. 3.

Grasses don't all grow straight up, some spread along the soil, some vines entwine around other plants, and some only have a bunch of delicate leaves, but their roots are deeply rooted in the soil. If you only remove the leaves, a large patch will emerge in two days.

Therefore, Xia Qing does not use a sickle to weed, but uses a special wide-faced hoe to remove the weeds by the roots. This method is cleaner, but also more laborious.

There are many rocks on the hillside, and even though Xia Qing is a strength evolver, he will feel thirsty and tired after working for a long time.

After clearing the weeds and bushes in the isolation zone outside the low-slope planting greenhouse, she entered the greenhouse, took off her protective mask, wiped the sweat from her face and neck with a towel, drank boiled water in one gulp, and let out a long sigh.

Xia Qing is an advanced evolver with better resistance than ordinary people and general evolvers, but she works in an area of ​​the territory that is not covered by greenhouse insect-proof nets. No matter how hot it is, she will take adequate protection.

In the past few days, when she was active in the territory, she not only wore protective clothing, but also sprayed the insect repellent spray she had exchanged with her idol on her body.

Because of being bitten by a poisonous animal or infected with evolved bacteria, Xia Qing must take or apply medicine to detoxify, so he cannot take medicine now.

Next month, she will start soaking in body damage recovery potions again. If she takes or applies potions during this period, it will affect the effectiveness of the recovery potion, and Xia Qing may suffer in vain.

After drinking the water, Xia Qing came to the grape trellis beside the spring cave and rested in the shade formed by the vines and the cave. The sheep boss who had been grazing on the hillside also came over and lay down beside him.

Xia Qing stretched out her legs in light and breathable light purple trousers, shook off her new shoes, and stretched out her arms in a light and thin long shirt of the same color, and exclaimed, "Boss, you really get what you pay for. This dress is so comfortable."

The furry sheep boss narrowed his eyes and ignored Xia Qing.

What Xia Qing is wearing now is the summer outfit made of new material that she exchanged with Yang Jin last time.

The color and style of this suit are ordinary, but the price is comparable to the third-level field protective clothing, and it has reached the protection level of the second-level field protective clothing. Therefore, when Xia Qing works in the territory, he no longer needs to wear field protective clothing.

After Yang Jin asked Hu Zifeng to deliver the clothes, Xia Qing tried them on and confirmed that they were great value for money. She immediately contacted Yang Jin and exchanged them for another set from the same series.

There are many styles of summer clothes made of this new material, and the prices of different styles vary greatly. Xia Qing wanted the most practical, simple and low-priced style, but it was sold for 4500 points per set. Now she has three sets of summer long-sleeved shirts and trousers made of the new material in camouflage, light purple and aqua, enough for replacement.

Compared with the new material outerwear, Xia Qing felt that her original pure cotton underwear was not comfortable enough.

After searching for information online and discovering that this new fabric also makes underwear, Xia Qing used her good friend Xin Yu's purchasing channels to get three more sets of underwear made of the new material to wear alternately with her outerwear.

In addition to underwear, Xia Qing also bought two pairs of summer protective boots, two comfortable and breathable protective masks, and some hoods, gloves and socks on Xin Yu's recommendation.

These clothes and protective equipment cost a total of 56700 points. Xia Qing felt distressed when she heard the price, but she paid without any hesitation.

Xia Qing has always tried her best to eat the best food and use the best things within her ability. This was the case when she was in the safe zone before, let alone now when conditions are better.

Isn't the purpose of working hard to make yourself live a more comfortable life? Otherwise, what's the point of working hard?
After a short rest, Xia Qing put on the newly exchanged protective mask and walked out of the greenhouse. He cleared the weeds outside the high slope planting area in one breath, then shook off the soil on the roots of the weeds, tied them into bundles for the sheep to carry down and dry in the open space outside the yard. These grasses cannot be used to make mats or chicken nests, but they can be burned into ash for potash fertilizer.

Potassium fertilizer is an indispensable fertilizer for the growth of corn, tomatoes and potatoes.

After finishing the farm work this morning, the man and the sheep slowly returned home to make lunch and take a rest.

"Xia Qing, are you there?"

Yue Haiying's questioning voice was heard in the lord channel.

Xia Qing pressed the button, "Yes, Brother Yue, go ahead."

Yue Haiying asked, "The army has eliminated a batch of old cars. 30,000 points for each car. Are you interested?"

Xia Qing bought the car to drive out of the territory, and he couldn't hide it from others. That's why the two of them communicated on the intercom to make the car clear.

In the years of natural disasters when supplies were scarce, even a used car was very cheap at only 30,000 credits. Xia Qing knew that Yue Haiying must have gotten more cars than that, but she still pretended to be reluctant to part with them, "Brother Yue, why are used cars still so expensive?"

"Humph."

In the simple container house of Territory No. 14, Feng Wen sneered and mocked Xia Qing for being poor. "You think a 30,000 yuan junky car is too expensive. You really have never seen the world. Brother Meng, let's get a car too? The territory is too big. It's inconvenient to go anywhere without a car."

Sitting on a wooden stake beside the bed and looking at his phone, Yan Meng didn't even raise his head, and was too lazy to talk. Feng Wen pursed her lips, secretly moved her body and stretched her neck, trying to see what he was looking at.

Yan Meng turned around alertly and said, "Stop bothering me here, get up and go pull the weeds!"

Feng Wen, who was half lying on the bed, was aggrieved. "I just woke up, I'm not feeling well, and I haven't eaten yet, how can I have the energy to pull weeds..."

Seeing Yan Meng remained silent, Feng Wen immediately asked in a delicate voice, "Brother Meng, can you help me dry some filtered water? I want to take a bath."

Yan Meng frowned impatiently, but still stood up and walked out.

After he left, Feng Wen immediately turned around and opened the window on the other side, trying to get as close to the dirty screen as possible and breathe in the fresh air from outside. Then she heard Tang Huai's voice on the intercom, "Brother Yue, the off-road vehicles purchased in the ninth year of the natural disaster were of good quality. How could a used car only be sold for 30,000?"
