Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 73 Watering the Ground
When they carried the seriously injured people back to the village, the slightly injured people said to Wu Dongwei, "I didn't expect what happened today to be such a big deal, and it will delay your fetching water. It happens that there is no one at this time, so you fetch the water quickly." Let's go, we can't say when we will fight again."

Wu Dongwei thanked with a smile, and beckoned his own people to come forward to fetch water. When they returned, the people in the two villages were revealing each other. In this fight, they made a fuss about who, who sided, and who they attacked.

The fight must not be hidden. After returning home, those who still had physical strength went to the village chief's house together and told the village chief what happened today. The village head is still very satisfied with the hostility, as for the grievances between other villages, it is none of their business.

When the people of the two villages went to fetch water the next day, they heard that at six or seven o'clock the night before, the head of Shuanghe Village led the whole village to Chenjia Village and Dingziqiao Village to seek justice. Later, it seemed that the discussion didn't work out, and finally they fought again, but I heard that half of Dingziqiao Village was occupied by outside hooligans, and those hooligans knew nothing else, and all the fights were desperadoes, so Shuanghe Village did not end up in the end. What's the best thing to fish for? Later, those hooligans seemed to want to take the opportunity to take down Shuanghe Village, but they failed in the end.

After the gang fight happened, very few people came to fetch water from the Nanlu River the next day, and Qiao Miwei and the others went back without queuing up.

For several days in a row, Qiao Miwei didn't have to wait in line to fetch water, and Qiao Miwei also saved a lot of time and was able to help the family with some chores.

She has been observing the pot of lettuce for the past few days, and to her delight, she did not see any mutations in the lettuce after being poured with virus-containing water. At least there was basically no difference in appearance, which made her half relieved.

One day, she ran outside and caught two caterpillars, put them in a glass bottle, and put a leaf of lettuce in it. Originally, she planned to experiment with chickens, but when she saw those caterpillars in the chicken coop, she saw that they were growing The big chick couldn't bear it, the little chicken couldn't bear it, and the others were even more reluctant. They went round and round in the yard trying to find a way, but it made her think of a caterpillar.

The first thing Qiao Miwei did when he got up early the next day was to see if the caterpillar was still alive. A corner of the lettuce leaf in the glass bottle was eaten, and the caterpillar lay motionless. Qiao Miwei couldn’t tell whether it was dead or alive. He casually took a twig and stuck it into the bottle and poked it. The caterpillar felt attacked, its body twisted suddenly, its head and tail swayed back and forth, Qiao Mi saw his whole body trembling slightly, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his body, he quickly backed away He threw away the twig in his hand in one step, then pinched the mouth of the bottle with his fingers and walked to the gate, throwing the bottle far away.

When I turned around, I still felt hairy all over my body. How did these little bugs grow so scary!However, she felt relieved when she thought that there was nothing wrong with the worms eating the lettuce, but experimenting with such a small worm would not prove anything. I didn't need a cutting board for the new knife, so I chopped it on the ground, and then went to the backyard to grab a chicken and put it on the chopped lettuce, "Eat, eat."

Xiaoji just changed his environment and felt a little unfamiliar. He straightened his neck and looked around and found that Dahei was lying on the side, and he did not see any danger here. There was a vegetable leaf on the ground, and I went up to bite it, probably because I didn’t use a cutting board, the concrete floor was a little uneven, and the lettuce was cut with a knife. The chicken picked up a vegetable leaf and shook it back and forth. Qiao Miwei was anxious to see the effect, thinking Without thinking about getting started, he went to pull the half lettuce leaf that had fallen down, and the chick was startled. He flapped his wings and backed away in alarm. She ran to Dahei's side in one swift motion, chirping and chirping.

Qiao Mi felt annoyed that she had done something stupid, so she had to call out to Chick, "Chi Chi Chi, Gu Gu Gu Gu, come and eat, I won't scare you anymore."

It's a pity that the little chicken just stood next to Dahei and kept calling. Qiao Miwei had no choice but to continue to greet, "Cuckoo, breakfast, come here quickly, it will be gone in a while."

Obviously, there is a huge difference between chicken star language and human language. After talking about chicken with people for a while, Qiao Miwei gave up, "Okay, if you don't eat it, I'll change it." Then he got up and walked back, two steps away Not reconciled, he turned back to greet the chick, but he didn't get a response from it.

At this moment, Dahei raised his ears, opened his eyelids and whined twice at the little chicken. The little chicken flapped its wings and flew to the side in fright, screaming even more horribly. Qiao Miwei said quickly, "Dahei, Don't scare it."

Dahei was very obedient and put down his ears, closed his eyes and went to sleep. Qiao Miwei knew that Xiaoji's disobedience might be frightened by him, so she went back to the room and closed the door, and peeked at the window. The little chicken yelled around Dahei's yard, and after a while, feeling safe, it spread its wings and jumped on the lettuce leaves happily to eat.

Seeing its excitement, Qiao Mi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, complaining silently in his heart, you are a chicken, why don't you have such a personality!
After a while, most of the lettuce leaves on the ground were eaten by it, and it was probably full. It started to attack with its claws. A chick whose life was in danger at any time, Qiao Miwei didn't care about such an annoying behavior.

"Wei Wei, why did you get up so early?" There was the sound of the door opening behind him, and then Mother Qiao came out yawning.

Qiao Miwei turned around and said, "Mom, I caught a chicken and tried lettuce."

Mother Qiao went to the window to see the frisky chicks in the yard, "Are you finished eating?"

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "I just finished eating,"

"It's quite lively, why do I feel all right?" Mother Qiao said, holding her chin.

Qiao Miwei said, "I also feel like I'm fine, but I just ate it for a while, so let's wait and see."

At this moment, another door opened, and Tian Xiuniang came out rubbing her eyes. She saw the two girls by the window lying on the glass and looking out. She walked up to them and asked, "What are you looking at?"

When Qiao's mother told about the experiment, Tian Xiuniang couldn't help but lie on the glass and observe the frisky chick, "I wish I could always be this lively."

Jomi nodded slightly, "Yes."

After observing the chicken for a while, they didn't see any difference in it, so the three of them put it aside and went to work on their own. Those who should make breakfast make breakfast, those who should clean up the garden clean up the garden, and those who should clean up the house clean up the house.

After breakfast, when Qiao Miwei went out to fetch water with the kettle, the chick was still alive and kicking.

When she came back from fetching water, the little chicken that the whole family had given high hopes was still alive, and Qiao Miwei felt relieved a lot. She pulled out a woolen rope and tied it to the little chicken's paws, and put it back in the chicken coop. I only catch it when feeding, and put it back when it is full. After feeding for two days, the chick is still alive and well. The whole family is basically relieved. It seems that although the water containing the virus cannot be drunk, it can be poured. The land and the crops that grow are not affected.

Qiao Miwei told the village head about this discovery. In fact, the village head knew about it a long time ago, because the fields have been too dry recently, and some people directly pumped virus-containing water to irrigate the fields, not only watering the fields but also watering the gardens. , those vegetables in the garden were cooked and ate them without thinking too much. They didn’t see any problems, and they ate them. These people realized that their carelessness almost killed them. Fortunately, It was all right, so they came to the village head and told the village head about it. The village head only got the news, and Qiao Miwei came here before it was announced.

The virus-contaminated water can irrigate the land. This is exciting news. The village head couldn’t wait to turn on the loudspeaker in the village and start broadcasting. If he can say it ten times or eight times in the usual broadcast, this time he will double it. The village People who heard the news couldn't help running to the yard to cheer. People gathered in twos and threes and chatted, and some people just went to the ground with their tools.

When Qiao Miwei came home, she saw that the family members were also connected to the water pipes to pump water to irrigate the ground. She turned around and looked at it for a while, and then went home when she saw that a few people were busy. With her grandson here, she went directly to the backyard to tidy up the garden. While chatting at the village head's house, she heard that the crops in the field were growing too fast, and they might have to be harvested soon, but it's only July, and this time I know that the water in the village can irrigate the fields, just in time for the last watering before the harvest. If the water is replenished this time, there will be a small bumper harvest when the harvest comes. It's really good news, and because it's still early and the temperature is high enough, maybe they can follow the example of the south and plant the second season of crops.

Qiao Miwei thought to himself, after the watering is over this time, ask Aunt Tian to watch the crops in the field carefully. As soon as the harvest comes, they will quickly harvest the crops. The memory in the dream is getting more and more blurred. It is impossible to judge when the next nightmare will start, but she has a faint uneasiness in her heart, and she always feels that disaster is not far away. As long as the crops this time can be harvested as soon as possible, she is no longer extravagant in the second season.

After watering the vegetables in the garden enough, she sat on the wall of the chicken coop to rest, and the chickens behind her kept clucking and clucking. She looked back and found nothing unusual, so she didn't take it seriously. The people from the ground came back, and while chatting, she casually told about the chickens' quarrel, Tian Xiuniang got up immediately after hearing this, "I'm afraid they are going to lay eggs, it's only been a few months, I'll go and have a look."

It was because the chicks were about to lay eggs, and the rest of the people were also curious, and they all followed to the backyard. At this time, the chicks were quiet. Qiao Miwei and the others leaned on the courtyard wall and looked inside. Tian Xiuniang stepped in directly. .

When building the chicken coop, Qiao’s mother made the chicken coop out of tree branches and the like because there were not enough bricks. Tian Xiuniang lay on the side of the chicken coop and groped one by one, and she found a red-skinned egg. Pick it out and show it to everyone, "Sure enough, it's laid eggs."
