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

Chapter 526: Eating Relatives
"Sister Qing, this water tastes really good."

After Tan Qi boiled the bottle of water that Xia Qing brought over and took a sip, his eyes lit up again.

"This is spring water that has been filtered many times, and the content of harmful elements is very low." Xia Qing explained, "If you stay in the territory for a while, you can drink this water often."

The danger zone of Hill No. 50 has been burned. After the surveillance and "No Entry to Dangerous Area" signs are installed, Xia Qing can tell all the allies the location of the hidden valley of Hill No. 50 and the water quality of the hot spring, so that they can use the spring water and clean up the valley in preparation for breeding.

Territory No. 15 is also her ally. Because the Lord of Territory No. 15, Tan Qi, is too young, Xia Qing will not tell her such important information, but she can still enjoy the benefits of an alliance member.

"Are these the eggs laid by the chickens raised by Sister Qing?" Seeing Xia Qing preparing to cook, Tan Qi hurried over to add firewood and help, like a happy little chirping bird.

Xia Qing prepared steamed rice, fried eggs with chives and snake meatball soup for dinner today. Tan Qi brought a bag of green light barbecued meat jerky, "This is green light bamboo rat meat jerky, Sister Qing, try it, it's delicious."

"Okay." Xia Qing handed the rice to Tan Qi, "Eat more, I steamed more."

The white rice in the bowl was of the same quality as the green rice that her father had exchanged for. Tan Qi didn't expect Xia Qing to take out a large bowl full of precious food and share it with her.

The green lantern meat jerky she brought was too little to exchange for so many delicious foods. So Tan Qi decided to exchange her most precious food, "I planted two pots of green lantern strawberries. Next year, the strawberries should still be yellow lanterns. When the strawberries are ripe, I will send them to Sister Qing."

"Okay." Xia Qing understood what the little girl was struggling with and agreed readily.

Sure enough, after she agreed, Tan Qi picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She ate every bite slowly and seriously. Xia Qing had seen this kind of attitude of treating precious food with an almost pious attitude in many people, all of whom had experienced extreme hunger.

Tan Junjie’s salary is enough to support two people, so how could Tan Qi not have enough to eat?

Although Xia Qing felt strange, she did not ask any more questions. After the two of them finished all the food, she took out a handful of yellow chestnuts and placed them by the fireplace for Tan Qi to roast and eat.

Sitting by the warm fireplace and having eaten their fill, Tan Qi was full of curiosity about Xia Qing. "Sister Qing, I heard from Brother Su Ming that you worked in the construction team when you were in the safe zone and learned a lot of useful skills. This cabin and many things in the territory were made by you. You are amazing."

Xia Qing used an iron hook to pick up chestnuts and explained, "I am a power evolver, and I can only use my strengths in the construction team."

"Strength Evolvers are best suited for farming." Tan Qi confirmed this from Xia Qing, "I also want to power evolve."

Xia Qing smiled, "Speed ​​evolution is more powerful than strength evolution."

"Yeah. The evolution of speed is suitable for hunting, and the evolution of strength is suitable for farming." Tan Qi sat on the chair with his knees hugged, and suddenly talked about recent events.

"Sister Qing, have you heard? This month, more than 20 children with evolutionary abilities were eaten in the safe zone."

There has always been a rumor in the safe zone that eating evolvers can give birth to evolutionary abilities. Although the official rumor has been refuted many times, some people still believe it. When Xia Qing was in the safe zone, he was also hunted several times.

Children, especially evolved children, have always been the focus of protection in safe zones. Families that give birth to evolved children can get more benefits and move to safer areas.

With all the protections in place, how could so many children go missing?
Xia Qing asked, "Is there something wrong with the guards in the safe zone?"

Tan Qi hugged her knees tightly. "They were all killed by their own relatives, because drinking the blood and eating the flesh of related evolvers can better promote evolutionary abilities."

Seeing that Tan Qi looked strange, Xia Qing asked, "Someone is targeting you?" "Yes."

Tan Qi stared straight at the flames burning in the fireplace, his expression heavy, not like a nine-year-old child at all. "It was my aunt. When I was cooking in the kitchen, she deliberately chopped my arm with a knife, wanting to make me bleed. But she is an ordinary person, not as fast as me, so I dodged it, but my grandma and uncle didn't believe it."

Xia Qing continued to ask, "Does your uncle have any children?"

Tan Qi nodded, "I have a younger brother, but he has not been tested for evolutionary ability. My uncle and aunt are not evolvers either."

Xia Qing pulled out a roasted chestnut, broke it open and handed it to the little girl, who was terrified because she remembered the horrific experience. "Have you told your father about this?"

"Thank you, Sister Qing." Tan Qi took the chestnut and thanked him. "Not yet. My father has been too busy recently. I'm afraid he will be distracted. I want to wait until he comes back. Sister Qing, I don't want to go back. I want to stay in the territory and farm. I'm already nine years old and an Evolver. I have the strength to grow food and vegetables to feed myself. Do you think it's possible?"

It’s not up to Xia Qing to decide whether it’s possible or not. “You need to discuss this with your father and Aunt Yan.”

Tan Qi held the warm chestnuts and murmured, "I can't tell Aunt Yan. I can't cause trouble for her. She works harder than my father. She trains hard every day to get stronger. Sister Qing..."

Tan Qi looked at Xia Qing with tears in her eyes, revealing the most vulnerable side of a child, "Do you think my father will believe me, or his mother and brother?"

Xia Qing looked at Tan Qi calmly, "Your father is very capable, he will definitely be able to find out the truth."

"Yeah." Tan Qi sniffed, wiped her tears on her knees, and cheered herself up again. "Although my father is only a level 4 speed evolver, his shooting and fighting skills are very good. He didn't go on more dangerous missions, not because he didn't dare, but to stay and protect me. I followed my father until I was four years old. Later, my father took my grandmother and uncle to live with me, and then sent me to the safe zone to study..."

After listening to Tan Qi muttering for a while about how great her father was and making sure that she had calmed down, Xia Qing lit the fireplace, checked the chimney, and sprinkled insect repellent around the house. He then asked her to call Yanlong with her own cell phone before leaving the cabin and beginning to patrol the territory.

The weather is clear tonight. The sky is covered with twinkling stars, which push a crescent moon onto the western hilltop. The cold wind hits the rainproof cloth of the greenhouse, making a few slight creaking sounds.

This voice pulled Xia Qing back to the territory from the bloody memories in his head.

If this sound is made, it means that one or more supports of the greenhouse are not firm.

Xia Qing untied the wire that secured the wooden door of the greenhouse, entered the shed, turned on the flashlight, and walked slowly forward. After finding the source of the creaking sound, he marked it and would replace the bracket tomorrow.

After visiting three greenhouses, Xia Qing checked two more greenhouses. When she came out, she found the sick wolf standing in the cold wind waiting for her, grinning happily.

This smile was so healing and warm. Xia Qing rubbed its head, took it for a patrol along the weed wall, glanced at the small house beside the farmland where the lights had been turned off, and walked towards his home.

After entering the house, Xia Qing added some firewood to the fireplace, cleaned the pots and dishes in the backpack, came to the big sheep chewing the cud, leaned on it, and called to the sick wolf, "Second brother, come here and let me comb your hair."

The sick wolf immediately ran over and squatted on the straw mat.

Xia Qing quietly combed the hair of her two companions before going upstairs to sleep.

Tan Qi's words triggered Xia Qing's memory. She dreamed of the scene when she was in the safe zone and was hunted as food by her own kind.
