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

Chapter 861: Harvesting Spinach Seeds
Xia Qing, who was happily picking spinach seeds, saw Lao Er go into shed No. 1, stand at the edge of the next terrace and look up at her unhappily. She immediately asked, "Lao Er, what's wrong?"

The second wolfhound turned around and looked back at Xia Qing.

"Is there something going on outside? Okay, let's go check it out." It was a little after five in the morning and it was already daybreak. There was no need to wear night vision goggles, so Xia Qing only put on a protective mask. He stuffed a small bag of spinach seeds he had picked up into his pocket, covered the unpicked spinach with a protective film, stood up, and followed the second brother downstairs.

The big sheep, lying with squinted eyes, looked at his little brother leaving the greenhouse, then immediately stood up and walked into the spinach terrace, quickly picked up two rotten spinach leaves sticking out of the protective film and ate them.

A man and a wolf walked out of Shed No. 1 and stood on the high slope. Xia Qing could see the lively scene in Shed No. 12 from afar.

Because the rainproof cloth of Shed No. 12 was blown away and the insect-proof net was smashed by hail, the wheat in the shed, which was already in the mature stage, attracted a family of red squirrels and birds of all sizes to peck at the wheat grains that had been confiscated.

There were so many freeloaders that the second wolf couldn't drive them all away, so it came to find Xia Qing.

"Old No. 2 did a great job. He found out that the red squirrels and the birds were stealing the wheat in our greenhouse, so he told me right away." Xia Qing praised his companions first, and then proposed a solution. "We can't let all the wheat we worked so hard to grow go to them. Let's go home and catch two cages of chickens and let them eat the wheat, okay?"

The second one likes Xia Qing to talk to it in a soft voice, and it is happy no matter what Xia Qing says.

The man and the wolf returned home, picked up three cages of chickens, and returned to shed No. 12.

Xia Qing put these chickens into the cages at about three o'clock, so that they could eat the wheat grains in Shed No. 12. But she was so happy working in Shed No. 1 that she didn't notice that time passed so quickly and it was already daybreak.

Of course, more than fifty chickens could not eat all the fallen wheat ears in an acre of land. Xia Qing signaled to the second brother not to worry about the birds and squirrels and just protect the chickens.

All the territories in the northern region suffered losses to varying degrees, attracting a large number of omnivorous birds. At Xia Qing's request, Territory No. 8 released Steller's Sea Eagles to circle in the sky. The inspection team also shot and drove away large birds, so there were no large predatory birds in the sky above the territories.

Territory No. 3 was protected by a wire mesh wall. Xia Qing brought the leaders of the flock, the advanced evolved black-feathered rooster and white-feathered hen, and a dozen of their children. These chickens were very fast and strong in combat, and were not afraid of small birds and squirrels. Therefore, Xia Qing was relieved to hand over the flock to the second one.

The second wolfhound understood Xia Qing's actions, gave up his daily morning activities of catching insects and feeding fish, and stayed beside shed No. 12 to protect the chickens.

"Old No. 2 is awesome." Xia Qing took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and gave it to it as a reward, then returned to continue working next to the spinach terrace in Shed No. 1.

The sheep boss, with green spinach juice hanging on the snow-white fur around his mouth, pretended to be calm and squinted his eyes without moving, interpreting what "there is no silver here" means with his powerful acting skills.

Xia Qing glanced at the sheep hoof prints on the mulch, pretended not to notice anything, and sat down to continue working. Because from the boss's posture, he knew that if he exposed it for stealing food, it would definitely jump up and fight with him. This was not the place for a fight, and Xia Qing didn't have the time to fight now.

She is busy.

When the eldest sheep saw that his younger brother hadn't noticed, he continued to chew the cud.

Xia Qing suppressed her laughter and picked up a spinach leaf that had been sieved by the spinach seeds. "Boss, do you want to eat it?"

"Mea~"

The big sheep immediately opened his big eyes, came over and took away the delicious spinach leaves from Xia Qing's hand.

While picking spinach seeds, Xia Qing chatted with the boss standing next to her, "You foodie, Tang Huai said a while ago that he would find a ewe of the same breed and send it over. I think even if they come, they may not like you."

"Mee~~" The big sheep didn't care about what Xia Qing was nagging at this moment. All it had eyes for were the fragrant spinach leaves. It motioned Xia Qing to give it another piece.

Xia Qing picked up another leaf and handed it to it, "Big Brother, eat less. We have already sold these leaves to Third Brother. They are 280 points per pound."

The sheep boss didn't care how valuable the spinach was and still kept calling for food.

Over at Shed No. 12, the second one found the right opportunity and used the elasticity of the greenhouse support to jump more than five meters high and bite the big magpie that dared to shit in the air and hit it. The birds and squirrels that were pecking at it were scared and flew away, and the chickens were also frightened and hid far away.

The mother red squirrel and her two children put the wheat seeds in their mouths into the tree hole, and then ran back to look for seeds under the wheat stalks farthest from the evolved wolf.

A skinny red squirrel with flying hairs on its ears poked its little head out of the tree hole tremblingly, using its sense of smell to capture the sweet scent in the air.

A few minutes later, the little guy finally couldn't resist the temptation. He risked his life to climb out of the tree hole and moved forward cautiously under the cover of bushes and stones. He finally came to the outside of Shed No. 1 in the northern buffer forest and hid in the weeds to look inside.

When Xia Qing turned around to get the bag to pack the spinach seedlings, she found the small red squirrel with a few patches of hair missing outside the shed. She was worried for it, "Little Feimao, why did you run out? Are you hungry? Wasn't your mother frying wheat grains in the nest? Why didn't she let you eat?"

This possibility exists.

The competition for survival in the evolutionary forest is very cruel, and many small animals have to risk their lives to get food. The red squirrels over two months old should rely on their own strength to find food. If they can't find food, they will become food for other animals.

In this regard, most humans are “kind” or more aware of the importance of the group than many evolved animals. Humans will take care of their relatives who cannot support themselves and the weak in the group, providing them with food and treating injuries.

When Xiao Feimao heard Xia Qing's voice, he immediately opened his mouth, bit a hole in the insect-proof net, and crawled into the greenhouse and came to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was speechless, "You idiot! I didn't tell you to come in!"

When Xia Qing got up to repair the insect net, Big Sheep quickly picked up a spinach leaf and Little Feimao picked up a spinach seed.

“Bang.”

Xia Qing, who was mending the net, heard the subtle sound and directly sealed the hole in the insect net with tape. He rushed back and grabbed Xiao Feimao, "You broke the insect net and ate two spinach seeds. The points you owe me have increased to 52760. What are you going to pay me back with, huh?"

Little Feimao, curled up in Xia Qing's hand, chewed quickly and swallowed the spinach seeds. While Xia Qing was not paying attention, Big Sheep picked up another spinach leaf and swallowed it.

Xia Qing had no choice but to deal with this squirrel baby that was so thin that only a handful of bones were left. He simply stuffed it into his pocket and continued picking spinach seeds. If he didn't pick them up, the weather would get hot and the boss would also need to be full.

"Big brother, go and watch over shed number 12 with the second brother. Don't let the flock of birds bully our chickens."

Boss Yang narrowed his eyes and pretended not to understand.

Xia Qing snorted coldly, "Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you later."

The big sheep narrowed his eyes and took away a small piece of spinach leaf at Xia Qing's feet.
