After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

Chapter 68 "Meihe Linggong Settlement"

The two crucian carp at home are still as listless as yesterday. Now that the food has not been harvested, Jiang Yan has no choice but to go fishing in the Xinglong River in the south if he wants to have sufficient food reserves.

Xinglong River is not too close to Jiang Yan's home, but it is not too far either. Compared to Nanshan, Xinglong River is more like a stream at the forefront of Nanshan.

For the primeval forests in the south, the Xinglong River is located on the edge of the primeval forest, with the Xinglong River as the boundary. The north of the Xinglong River is just some relatively prosperous woods, but the south of the Xinglong River has become the most primitive forest. of dense forest.

The last time Jiang Yan was able to find the big snake by the river, part of the reason may be because the Xinglong River is the nearest freshwater river on the north side of Nanshan. Animals within ten kilometers can only come here if they want to drink water.

But this is not the only river around Nanshan. Farther to the west, about 50 kilometers away, there is another river called Meihe. Meihe is more turbulent than Xinglong River and has more water. For the surrounding animals, , Meihe is their main source of drinking water.

However, Meihe is located on the edge of Linggong City, which is where Gao Chou said the Linggong settlement is located.

The last time he met the big python, it only meant that Jiang Yan was really unlucky. He caught the python coming out to drink water while fishing.

But what's even more unfortunate is that the big python just came out to drink water and was killed by Jiang Yan.

For the edge of the forest, wild animals as big as boas rarely appear. The edges of the forest are mostly small wild animals, such as rabbits and wild dogs.

As for the gorilla that Jiang Yan met last time, which was Kaka's parents, Jiang Yan only met him when he ran south deep into the forest.

If the forest is a city to animals, then these large animals want to live in city centers, too.

So for Jiang Yan now, he may have to rely on fish in the Xinglong River for a lot of time in the next few days.

The disappearance of humans has made these wild animals the eldest sons of nature. Without human capture, these animals have reproduced faster than Jiang Yan expected.

When Jiang Yan was alive, there would not be so many wild animals in the forest. But with the awakening of his abilities, Jiang Yan suddenly discovered that there were animals active around him all the time, but Jiang Yan didn't see them. That’s all.

Holding a pickaxe, Jiang Yan kept digging in the backyard. There was a vegetable cellar in this yard before, which her parents dug out to store vegetables during the winter.

However, due to time, the vegetable cellar was filled with all kinds of dirt and debris. Jiang Yan was afraid that there would be bugs in it, so she didn't consider it at all when choosing the fish pond.

The excavation of the fish pond is relatively simple. Jiang Yan plans to dig a large pit one meter deep, three meters long and five meters wide.

Jiang Yan doesn't want the fish pond to be too deep. Firstly, it will be more laborious and secondly, it will be difficult to take care of. If it is too deep, cleaning will become more difficult. What's more, if Kaka accidentally falls, the water depth of two meters will be difficult. Could drown her.

Use a pickaxe to draw a rough shape on the ground. Jiang Yan swung the pickaxe and kept digging. Jiang Yan's backyard was full of precious black soil. The soft soil made digging relatively easy.

But even so, after working all morning, Jiang Yan was able to dig out a shallow area.

"what time is it?"

Standing in the small pit, Jiang Yan raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky. Jiang Yan, who had no specific time, had already been trained to easily judge the approximate time through the trajectory of the sun.

Realizing that it was noon, Jiang Yan jumped out of the pit while holding on to the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and looked at the pit he dug in front of him.

"This, I estimate it will take a day and a half to dig."

A morning's work gave the fish pond a clear outline, but Jiang Yan estimated that it would take at least two days to dig out a real fish pond.

After all, even after digging the soil, Jiang Yan still needs to lay a layer of waterproofing, which will take about half a day. "Forget it, mark the sundial first."

Putting down the pickaxe in his hand, Jiang Yan walked towards the storage room. There were two crucian carp that were not eaten by the well, but Jiang Yan did not want to touch them at the moment.

Cooking fish is such a waste of time.

He took out the dried bacon from the storage room, and Jiang Yan took out ten ears of corn from the roof. Zhao Dabai and Kaka, who were still having fun, saw Jiang Yan appear with food, and hurriedly put down the football in their paws and ran In front of Jiang Yan, her face was full of flattery.

"Let's go play, it's not time to eat yet."

After waving his hands and scattering the two Zhao Dabais, Jiang Yan brought firewood and prepared to light the stove. Jiang Yan had already used most of the trees he had cut down before, and now he only had a few pieces of wood left in his hand.

Fortunately, when Jiang Yan was tidying up the yard, he prepared a lot of corn stalks. These corn stalks were enough for Jiang Yan to burn for a while.

Turn out the lighter and light the stove. Jiang Yan poured clear well water into the pot, threw the corn into the pot, and covered it with a steamer. The purpose of the steamer is to steam bacon. Yes, the bacon in Jiang Yan's hand was too hard. Except for Zhao Dabai, Jiang Yan and Kaka had a hard time chewing it.

After doing all this, Jiang Yan filled up the firewood and turned around. The millstone lying beside him was lying quietly on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Jiang Yan decided to start making the sundial now.

A sundial needs to be made at the time of day when the shadow is the shortest, which is noon, and this is the best time to make a sundial.

"Towards, south."

Thinking about the direction, Jiang Yan judged the direction of the sundial, and then called Zhao Dabai beside him, signaling the latter to help him.

After moving the wooden pier used for chopping firewood to the stone mill, Jiang Yan took out the rope and, with the help of Zhao Dabai, pushed the upper stone mill aside.

"No, it's exhausting to do this!"

Holding the rope, Jiang Yan sat on the ground tiredly. Jiang Yan didn't know the weight of the stone mill at all. If it weren't for Zhao Dabai's help, Jiang Yan wouldn't have been able to lift the stone mill completely. After all the effort, Jiang Yan couldn't lift the stone mill. Yan gritted his teeth and finally assisted Zhao Dabai, pushing the upper layer of the stone mill firmly to the ground.

Feeling the rapid loss of physical strength, Jiang Yan gave up the idea of ​​using a rope to pull the stone mill. Now the stone mill on the ground needed to be moved to the wooden pier. After thinking about it while looking at the stone mill, Jiang Yan decided to use a pry bar. .

Just as the physicist said, give him a fulcrum and he can tilt the entire earth. Now Jiang Yan is like, give me a fulcrum and I can tilt the entire stone mill.

After searching for a long time, Jiang Yan finally found a stone that could be used as a fulcrum, and pushed it to the stone mill. Jiang Yan took out the triangular iron from the storage room, inserted it under the stone mill, and crossed the fulcrum. Jiang Yan supported Gao Yan. The high raised edge starts to exert force!
"Hey!"

Jiang Yan pressed down his arms suddenly, and the heavy stone mill was instantly tilted up. Zhao Dabai on the side immediately stepped forward and stretched out his front paws to firmly fix the stone mill on the wooden pier.

"Wow! Why didn't I realize you were so smart before?"

Seeing Zhao Dabai's sudden intelligence, Jiang Yan couldn't help but admire him, but when Jiang Yan's eyes fell on Zhao Dabai's eyes, Jiang Yan suddenly reacted.

Zhao Dabai seemed to be showing off to Kaka.

Looking at the short Kaka on the side, Zhao Dabai raised his head in a showy manner and waved his arms randomly in the air to show his strength, while Kaka on the side looked at Zhao Dabai excitedly, his eyes full of admiration.

"Has Zhao Dabai been lazy before co-writing?"
