Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 356 Little Orange is injured

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Uncle, please go and save Wang Ba. He...he got stuck while catching grasshoppers." Little Nuomi replied while tilting his little head back.

"No way?" Liu Qingsong was stunned and put down the empty wooden barrel on his shoulder and ran towards Tiger Mountain: "Where is Wang Ba now?"

"It's... right at the entrance of Tiger Mountain." Xiao Nuomi replied loudly, and then followed behind with his short legs.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the mountain path at the entrance of Tiger Mountain.

On the right side of the mountain path, Wang Ba was stuck in thorny vines and couldn't get in or out. He was crying loudly.

While comforting them, Li Fenfen and Li Bayi hurriedly took axes to cut down the thorny vines.

Xiao Taoqi, Yaomei, Ye Qubing and Pangdun also helped.

Seeing Xiao Nuomi and Liu Qingsong rushing over, Xiao Taoqi said, "Brother, brother... hurry up and save Wang Ba, his head is bleeding from the thorns."

"I saw it." Liu Qingsong shook his head as he looked at Wang Ba's miserable appearance, took the axe from Li Fenfen's hand and started chopping the thorny vines that were stuck on Wang Ba.

Because he was very strong, he quickly cut through several thorny vines that were as thick as his arms.

Seeing this, Li Bayi reached out and hugged Wang Ba out: "Okay, okay, stop crying, let's go home."

"Well, let's go home." Wang Balian nodded, and then asked Liu Qingsong to help hand him the sack of locusts.

After getting the sack, he saw that not many of the dried locusts in the sack had escaped, so he broke free from Li Bayi's hands and ran towards the foot of the Wild Boar Ridge, playing with Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi and other children.

"This kid." Li Bayi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lian carried half a sack of grasshoppers on his shoulders and followed behind with Li Fenfen and Liu Qingsong.

……

back home.

It was already dark.

But Liu Qingsong was not idle.

Instead, he took Li Fenfen and Li Bayi to the river to continue fishing.

Liu Chunhua was called back to kill the fish with Liu Lijuan. After all, it was a very hot day and many of the fish in the river would die if they were caught. It would not work if they were not dealt with in time.

Especially the croaker, which was still fine in the puddle, but turned upside down as soon as I brought it home.

However, Liu Qingsong has a large refrigerator at home, so he doesn't have to worry. After the fish are marinated, they will not go bad if kept in the refrigerator for ten days or half a month.

Unfortunately, other villagers discovered Liu Qingsong and his family fishing in Diaozi River, and they all joined in.

With this addition, all the fish, big or small, that could be caught in Diaozi River were quickly gone.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong immediately called Li Fenfen and Li Bayi to go back.

I went back to help my eldest and second sisters kill and marinate the fish.

Because there are too many fish.

In addition to giving some to my uncle and third uncle's families.

Liu Qingsong even lit a bonfire and took the children to roast some crucian carp in the threshing ground.

Fresh grilled tiaozi fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Sprinkle it with chili powder, pepper and other seasonings and it is a delicacy.

As a result, Wang Ba, Ye Qubing, Ye Xiaoxiao and others had to go to Grandpa Jiang to get food-digesting medicine after eating too much.

But no matter how much roasted fish Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei and Xiao Taoqi ate, they never felt full and could even play and fight in the threshing ground.

Time passed by unknowingly and it was soon past ten o'clock in the evening. After Liu Qingsong coaxed little Nuomi to sleep, he was about to go to the Wanjie garbage dump. Old Jiang and Nie Bingquan came over and said, "Qingsong, did you know that the purchase price of locusts in Dayu City has risen to more than one yuan per pound today?"

"I know. I took Xiao Nuomi and the others to the pharmacy in the city and sold a lot of them!" Liu Qingsong replied softly.

"Then didn't you notice that something was wrong?" asked Old Jiang.

Nie Bingquan also looked worried.

"We discovered it a long time ago." Liu Qingsong replied softly, "We also discovered that someone was deliberately raising the price of locusts."

Otherwise, the price of locusts in Dayu City, which was hit by a locust plague, would not have soared to more than one yuan per pound.

"Then do you know who is the person who raised the price?" asked Old Jiang in a low voice.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Liu Qingsong spread his hands: "All you need to know is that what they are doing is helping the people of Dayu City."

"You kid." Nie Bingquan shook his head. "Then let me tell you, according to reliable information from the Ye family, the person who raised the price is someone under the Zhao family. They are now buying up a large number of locusts in Dayu City, and they want as many as they can get."

"No...what do they want to do?" Liu Qingsong was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

His original plan was just to solve the locust plague in Dayu City, but now he actually lured the Zhao family out. This is really a pleasant surprise!

"What else can they do? They saw that the officials of Dayu City and a dozen of my students were buying up a large number of locusts, so they wanted to make trouble!" Nie Bingquan smiled bitterly and replied, "I'm not afraid of anything else now, but I'm afraid that the matter will be exposed and I won't be able to control the situation."

"After all, our current behavior is deceiving people."

"Don't worry, the situation is definitely under control." Liu Qingsong's eyes lit up after he understood what Nie Bingquan meant. "Even if the Zhao family finds out they were cheated, they will just swallow their anger and not spread the news."

"Are you sure?" Nie Bingquan asked.

Old Jiang also looked at Liu Qingsong.

"Of course I am sure." Liu Qingsong replied: "Please try to put yourself in their shoes. If you were cheated when purchasing locusts, would a big family publicize the embarrassing incident?"

"Besides, I've said before that this is a game of passing the parcel. One is willing to fight, and the other is willing to be beaten. If you get cheated in the end, you can't blame anyone."

"That's right." After hearing what Liu Qingsong said, Nie Bingquan and Old Jiang felt much better instantly.

"The game of passing the flower has officially begun. It is absolutely impossible to quit because of some external factors." Liu Qingsong looked at the starry sky and said softly: "So from now on, you just watch the show as bystanders, and don't interfere in other things."

Take care of it.

That's actually useless.

"Okay!" Old Jiang nodded.

"Then we'll go first." Nie Bingquan reached out and patted Liu Qingsong on the shoulder, then turned around and disappeared into the night with Old Jiang.

Liu Qingsong turned around and crawled into the temporary tent, then entered the Wanjie garbage dump.

Inside the glass chamber, a liquid robot was bandaging Little Orange's wound.

Liu Qingsong, who walked in, was shocked when he saw this scene: "What happened to Xiaojuzi?"

"He was ambushed by a monster. If Fat Tiger hadn't been there at the time, Little Orange would have been dead." The liquid robot answered while reaching out to open the tracking mirror.

Liu Qingsong looked over.

Seeing that the image from the tracking mirror flashed and then disappeared, he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster is this? Its speed is so fast that even the tracking mirror can't capture it?"

"I'm not sure. I only know that it's very small, probably only as big as a basketball, but its strength is incredible. Even Shi Hao and the guardian vine are afraid of it." The liquid robot replied.

"Really? Then where did they go?" Liu Qingsong looked around.

"Shi Hao went to the garbage dump in the southeast to check the situation. The guardian vines are sorting the garbage. Do you have something to do with them?" asked the liquid robot.

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Liu Qingsong squatted down and reached out to touch the little orange. Suddenly, he sniffed: "What's that smell on it?"

The smell is rotten and stinky, with a faint smell of kerosene. In short... it smells disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

"It was left by the monster on Little Orange's body. I have no way to remove it at the moment." The liquid robot replied.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong frowned, picked up Xiaojuzi and walked towards the nearest boundary marker.

There was no way. If the smell was poisonous and was brought out by Little Orange, then Little Nuomi, Little Taoqi and the others would be in trouble.

So just in case, we must find a boundary marker to remove the smell.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the Seven Realms Boat, a powerful aura enveloped him.

This powerful aura was feminine and overbearing, causing the little orange in his hand to tremble.

But Liu Qingsong did not feel that way. He could even tell where the source of the powerful aura was.

When I looked up, I realized that it came from a ball of meat floating in the air.

The meat ball was scarlet in color and an irregular round shape. Maggots were crawling on it and a rotten and smelly smell was wafting out.

The smell was exactly the same as the one that Xiaojuzi had had before, which meant that it was this ball of flesh that had hurt Xiaojuzi.

After Liu Qingsong found this, he couldn't help but frown. But he didn't take action at the first time, nor did he escape back to the Seven Realms Boat, but became alert.

The reason for this is that many of the maggots crawling on the meatball fell to the ground at this time, then burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

This scene seemed very ordinary, but Liu Qingsong could clearly sense that these maggots surrounded him in an instant after drilling into the ground.

The speed is so fast that it is astonishing.

In order to avoid being attacked by these maggots, Liu Qingsong jumped out of the encirclement and took out his invisibility cloak in mid-air.

Just as I was about to put it on, the meatball hit me.

The speed of the collision was quite fast.

Liu Qingsong only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he was knocked out and fell into a garbage dump.

When he got up, he found that he was fine and Little Orange was not injured either. They were all wrapped up by the water ball that appeared out of nowhere.

The water ball was released by the Imperial Water Beads. After Liu Qingsong crawled out of the garbage dump, it turned into water mist and dissipated.

When Rouqiu saw this scene, he did not attack Liu Qingsong again, but watched from a distance.

But the maggots that fell off its body became restless and all crawled towards the entrance of the Seven Realms Boat.

After Liu Qingsong noticed it, he was about to remind the liquid robot, Alcy, and the guardian vine in the Seven Realms Boat, but the Heaven and Earth Prison appeared out of thin air above the meat ball.

Unfortunately, before it could cover it, the meatball escaped.

The maggots from underground followed.

It disappeared in just a moment.

Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

While carefully looking around, Lian walked towards the nearest boundary marker holding Little Orange in his arms.

Walking closer, he placed his right hand on it: "Are you there? Do I need your help?"

Wow! A golden light emanated from the boundary monument, and then a mechanical, hollow voice sounded: "Here, may I ask if 0283 can help you?"

"Little Orange is injured, and there is a rotten and smelly smell on its body. Can you help remove it? If possible, treat its wound as well." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

"Okay." The boundary marker emitted a golden light that enveloped Little Orange. After a moment, the rotten and smelly smell was removed, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was.

The golden light disappeared.

The wound opened again and started bleeding.

The boundary monument had no choice but to release golden light into the wound again. After repeating this five times, the wound on Little Orange's body was finally healed completely.

Liu Qingsong was stunned as he watched this scene: "Is the wound left by this monster so difficult to heal?"

Boundary Monument: "The monster you are talking about is called Rot Heart. It is the most disgusting monster in the Ten Thousand Worlds Garbage Dump, and also one of the most powerful monsters. They are not suppressed by the rules of the Ten Thousand Worlds Garbage Dump, feed on rotten flesh, and can summon undead creatures within a kilometer. 0283 You must be extra careful when you encounter them in the future."

"Because they appear in groups, and they leave no living creatures behind wherever they go."

"Then why did I only encounter one just now?" Liu Qingsong asked.

Boundary Stone: "You are lucky, or maybe this Rot Heart is just exploring the way, and then all its kind will come over."

"No way?" Liu Qingsong's face changed. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Liu Qingsong turned around with Xiaojuzi in his arms and went to find the liquid robot and the guardian vine to discuss countermeasures.

……

Silent all night.

It was around 10:30 the next morning.

Liu Qingsong got up and went to the kitchen to wash up.

To his surprise, there was no one in the kitchen.

The eldest sister is not here, and the second sister is not here either.

Even the little ones were not seen in the threshing ground.

Liu Qingsong was about to go inside the tent to look for it when a note on the stove caught his attention.

There was a line of small words written on the note: Qingsong, Xiao Nuomi, Fenfen and I are going to catch grasshoppers, don't worry.

Liu Qingsong smiled bitterly as he looked at the line of small words.

The note was left by my eldest sister, as you can tell from the handwriting.

He couldn't understand why his elder sister changed her mind today when everything was fine yesterday.

But now that things had come to this, he didn't bother to care too much. Instead, he washed up, had breakfast, and then carried his hoe to the rice field to check the water.

At this time, among the rice fields of the entire Huaishu Production Brigade, only his family's rice seedlings were still green, while those of other families had already turned yellow and withered.

Some rice fields are even so dry and cracked that people can't even leave a footprint when they walk on them.

Liu Qingsong frowned when he saw this scene. In order to prevent such a situation from happening in his own rice fields, he thought about it and went home.

Half an hour later, he brought a small bag of Tree Elf super ripening fertilizer and sprinkled it evenly on his family's several acres of rice fields.

This time, the Tree Elf super ripening fertilizer has been improved by liquid robots. It will no longer ripen crops overnight as before, but will control them to mature within an ideal time.

Otherwise, Liu Qingsong would not dare to take it out and use it in broad daylight.

After spreading the ripening fertilizer, Liu Qingsong saw that there were no other villagers around as they had all gone to catch locusts. He then controlled the water storage ball to water the rice fields.

In the past, he watered the plants secretly at night, but this time, because he sprinkled ripening fertilizer, Liu Qingsong thought about it and decided to water them during the day.

If you don’t water them, the rice seedlings in the rice fields will probably be burned.

An hour later, several acres of rice fields were irrigated.

Liu Qingsong, who was sweating profusely, saw that there was nothing wrong, so he picked up his hoe and went home to cook lunch.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was that after lunch was ready, his eldest sister had not yet taken the children home.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Qingsong was worried that something had happened to his elder sister. After thinking about it, he entered the Wanjie Garbage Dump and used a tracking mirror to search for his elder sister.

In the tracking mirror's footage, Liu Chunhua, Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Xiao Taoqi, Li Fenfen, Li Bayi and others were heading back in a military jeep.

Judging from their smiling faces, they must have made a lot of money from selling locusts this time.

Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief, said something to the liquid robot, and walked out of the garbage dump of all worlds.

After serving the food on the eight-immortal table and cutting a watermelon to set the table, little Nuomi's excited voice came from outside: "Uncle, uncle...he's back home!"

"Hehe... We made a lot of money today." This is the voice of the naughty boy. After running into the temporary tent, he handed you the fried dough twist in a paper bag: "Brother, this is what I bought for you."

"Third brother, I bought you a can of soda too." The youngest sister said, "But I can't carry it, so hurry up and get it from the car."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Qingsong smiled, touched the little sister's head and walked out of the temporary tent.

In the threshing ground, Liu Chunhua, Li Fenfen and Li Bayi were standing next to the trunk of a military jeep carrying whole boxes of soda, as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other items.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong took a box of soda and couldn't help asking, "You bought so many things today, you must have made a lot of money from selling grasshoppers, right?"

"You guessed right, I made two hundred and seventy-one dollars today." Liu Chunhua replied with a smile.

This is so much money, which she couldn’t earn even after working hard for a year. Now she earns it in one day. For her, it is not only happiness but also surprise.

"I also earned 215 yuan, and my dad earned 198 yuan." Li Fenfen said happily.

"Earned so much?" Liu Qingsong was slightly surprised.

"It's because the purchase price of grasshoppers has increased again." Li Bayi replied.

"Otherwise we definitely wouldn't be able to sell it for so much money." Liu Chunhua agreed.

"Really?" Liu Qingsong smiled. This was really good news for him.

However, as the purchase price of locusts continued to rise, he knew that this game of passing the parcel would soon be over.

But he didn't plan to tell his elder sister, Li Fenfen, Li Bayi and the others. After chatting for a few words, he carried the soda to the temporary kitchen.
