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

Chapter 604 Survival of the Fittest

"Okay, whatever you think is suitable, Second Brother." This is the house that Xia Qing built for the eldest sheep. After it was built, an injured wolf, a sick wolf, and an injured squirrel had lived here. Now, a pair of weasels with their cubs will move in. Xia Qing thinks this house can be renamed a zoo.

After the weasel couple woke up, they might quickly leave her territory and return to the third peak of Hill 50.

Xia Qing opened the tin foil wrapped around the cardboard box, then carefully opened the lid of the box and found that not only the weasel parents were sleeping, but the five little weasels who were squeezed between the parents were also asleep.

Some of the little ones were lying on their mothers, some on their fathers, and some were huddled together with their brothers and sisters, sleeping soundly, which was in stark contrast to the three cubs that had died in the corner of the box.

The sick wolf stuck his head in and sniffed the little weasel, watching intently.

Xia Qing sat on the haystack and slowly told the sick wolf what happened. "Thank goodness the hair puller came to find us, otherwise more weasels might have died, and it would have been hard for the little white wolf to survive."

The flawless albino weasel lay quietly, with an otherworldly and tranquil beauty. It was so beautiful that Xia Qing couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Too bad, I can’t do it.

"Zhang He said that Little White Hair gave birth to its first cub, which means it might have been born last year. So the one who plucked the hair was an old wolf eating the tender grass. How could the wolf fall for this pretty little White Hair? Could it be that the one who plucked the hair is considered to be a powerful weasel?"

Xia Qing confirmed that the plucked weasel was not a cub born last spring, because when it was brought to Territory No. 3 by the alpha wolf to have its fur plucked in late July last year, it had already passed its growth period and had become an adult.

The newly born weasel cubs have long, pink bodies, which make people feel soft at the sight of them. This feeling is completely different from the feeling Xia Qing had when she saw the newly hatched mealworms.

Mealworms made her see chickens and fish growing into fat and juicy fish, and the weasel cubs made her absolutely happy and she wanted to watch them grow up little by little.

Even though he knew these little weasels might be smelly now, Xia Qing still wanted to pet them.

Unfortunately, I can’t do it.

The plucked weasel's eyes and claws moved, and it seemed that the effect of the anesthesia was about to wear off.

The sick wolf put its head in again and sniffed it gently, as if to calm it down. The sick wolf was an evolved wolf that was very good at taking care of its companions.

Xia Qing said softly, "Plucker, are you awake? Your wife gave birth to eight cubs, but three of them died. You can decide how to deal with them."

After Xia Qing finished speaking, he tied the two necklaces with Yi stones that he had prepared around the necks of the plucked weasel and the albino weasel. "You chose a bad day to give birth to your cubs. The first rainstorm of this year will arrive in a few days. These two Yi stones are my friendly donation to you. I wish your family can survive the rainstorm safely."

The albino weasel had undergone a caesarean section and is still in the breastfeeding period. The newborn weasels are also fragile and need the protection of Yishi.

The plucked weasel is an important fighting force that guards the hidden cave for Xia Qing and also needs protection.

Of course, if Xia Qing had not just made a fortune, she would not have been willing to put the precious Yi stone around the necks of the two weasels, even if it was just two small pieces that were cut out.

The plucked weasel raised its naturally smiling face tremblingly, its beard trembling, and looked at Xia Qing with tearful eyes, which made Xia Qing feel soft-hearted.

The reason why the plucked weasel was tearful was because Xia Qing had put eye drops in it. After taking the anesthetic, the weasel would not close its eyes on its own. Without eye drops, the eyes would lose water, causing ulcers and other symptoms. She raised her hand and touched the little guy's head, saying in a gentle voice, "It's okay. Fortunately, you are smart enough to come to me for help. Your wife and five children are all alive. It's okay."

The wild animals in the evolutionary forest have no protective masks or medicines, and can only rely on their bodies to resist various disasters and evolved microorganisms. If they cannot resist, they will die.

The creatures that can adapt to the natural environment of the evolved Blue Planet will multiply and grow stronger; those that cannot adapt to the environment will be eliminated and die. This is the survival of the fittest.

If the plucked weasel had not come to find Xia Qing, it would not only have no offspring this year, but might also have lost its mate.

The weasel evolved to be smarter. Its evolved brain was able to judge the level of danger and consciously choose who to ask for help. Therefore, its mate and children survived. This is also the survival of the fittest.

Xia Qing rubbed the weasel's clever little head again, took a small camera from the house, and installed it in the sheep shed. There were a few cameras left over from the installation of the No. 50 mountain some time ago, so Zhang San gave them to Xia Qing directly and asked her to play with them.

Now, it finally comes in handy.

After skillfully debugging the camera, Xia Qing no longer had time to take care of the weasel family. There were many things waiting for her to do in the territory.

The first thing Xia Qing did when she returned home was to check the sewers in the kitchen and bathroom. After finding that no insects were coming out of the pipes, she reapplied insect repellent, simply rinsed the mud off the protective suit, took out the air toxin detector, carefully tested the protective suit and protective gloves, and only dared to take off the protective mask after confirming that there was no residual ethyl mercaptan gas.

That’s great, I didn’t get covered in stench this time.

When Xia Qing went back to her bedroom to change her clothes, the freeloader red squirrel was already squatting on her windowsill, waiting for dinner.

Xia Qing opened the window and poured spring water into it, but didn't put any food in it. "Freeloader, winter is over, and you've become fat as a ball. It's time to move back to your own territory and rely on your own abilities to find food."

The red squirrel didn't understand, so after drinking the water, it rubbed its little paws and shook its big tail, staring at Xia Qing with its little black eyes, waiting for food.

Xia Qing closed the window without hesitation. She had been busy all night and was now tired and hungry. She had no time to waste with a little squirrel.

After the red squirrel confirmed that Xia Qing would not give it any more food, it jumped up and down for a while and walked away cursing.

Xia Qing went into the kitchen and steamed some green rice first, then she carried a sprayer and went to spray the weed wall with a drug to repel small reptiles. As the temperature warmed up, snakes, rats, centipedes and other animals would come out and move around. If she didn't spray the drug, all kinds of reptiles would soon appear in her territory.

After spraying the pesticide, Xia Qing walked on the muddy road to the greenhouse, cut some alfalfa to feed the mealworms and rabbits, and cut some basil to feed the green lantern chickens. Then she went home with four eggs and a basket of vegetables.

Seeing that the sick wolf was still watching the weasel in the sheep shed, Xia Qing did not disturb her and went back to the house to wash vegetables and cook.

Add three green lantern eggs and a handful of green lantern shallots to the steamed green lantern rice to make fried rice. Make meatballs with the snake meat paste and add a handful of green lantern spinach to make a pot of spinach meatball soup.

The sick wolf's breakfast is a boiled egg and half a pot of snake meatball soup, while the sheep boss's breakfast is green light alfalfa concentrate.

After finishing the meal, Xia Qing opened the rear window and called out to his companions on the high slope in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low, "Boss, it's time to go home for dinner..."
