In the last days, I saved the earth by planting

Chapter 13 Planting Flowers
Knowing that as more and more cities are occupied by zombies, hunger will surely make the survivors flock to the countryside in search of food.

Yan Xiaomi had a strong sense of crisis.

With the arrival of Uncle Chen's family, there will inevitably be more and more people in the village in the future. The particularity of the house and the things in the house are all coveted treasures in the last days. Powerful, with my current ability, I definitely can't hold it.

After thinking about it over and over all night, it really made her think of a way.

The Seven Sisters plants at the bottom of the wall have grown so thick and strong that their branches have climbed far to the ground outside the wall.

The seven sisters themselves are wild roses dug back from the mountain by Yan's mother. They have extremely strong vitality and grow at an amazing speed after mutation. After Yan Xiaomi watered them with polluted river water and fertilized them with virus-infected animal flesh, the seven sisters absorbed sufficient energy. It seems that with a little spirituality, he no longer attacks people and animals indiscriminately at home.

So Yan Xiaomi came up with his idea.

I dug out the scissors used by my father for pruning fruit trees from the utility room. Yan Xiaomi was holding the sharp scissors, and with a smile of grandma wolf, he dragged the branches and cut them down mercilessly, saying, "Sister, be good, your branches There are too many, messy and no shape, I will trim it for you to look better."

Faced with the scissors millet who is as powerful as an ox and does not let go of the branches, the seven sisters feel bad for the whole plant. With such a cruel master, they can only let her cut off their branches tremblingly.

Wielding the scissors, I trimmed according to my own aesthetics, and cut off a few large bundles of branches suitable for cuttings. The inside and outside of the courtyard wall suddenly became much cleaner.

"Well, it really looks better if you trim it." Yan Xiaomi admired her masterpiece.

There are only a few arms-thick main branches left on the thigh-thick main root, climbing on the gray and white courtyard wall. The tender green branches on the main branches have clusters of deep pink flowers, which are set off by black, white and gray tones. , What a beautiful Chinese feng shui painting!

As if they understood Yan Xiaomi's praise, the Seven Sisters shook the remaining branches viciously, eh, no more knots? !
Mimi lay lazily on the second-floor terrace, looking at the branches of the Seven Sisters piled up like hills in the open space of the yard, and staring at Yan Xiaomi with cat eyes, you almost cut the Seven Sisters bald, and you said against your conscience Beautiful, won't your conscience hurt?

Yan Xiaomi put the cut branches along the foot of the hill where she lived, dug a hole with a hoe every two meters, and then watered the cuttings. She worked quickly when she was strong. A circle was planted around the foot of the hill.

If you want the branches to grow fast, you have to fertilize very diligently!
What do the seven mutant sisters like?It's too easy for something with a virus.

The next day, Yan Xiaomi ruthlessly drove Huzi and Mimi out of the house, and was not allowed to go home until they caught prey.

She herself was not idle, carrying a fishing net bag and a big bucket, rowed a small wooden boat to the river to catch dead fish and shrimp, and buried the newly planted flowers in the soil as good fertilizer.

After three days of diligent watering and fertilization, the newly planted branches of the Seven Sisters absorbed enough energy, visible to the naked eye, became thicker, taller, branched, and grew green leaves. Yan Xiaomi weaved the slender and flexible rattans together The rhombus-shaped net looks like a green protective net with the height of a person around the foot of the hill from a distance.

Considering that strangers will come into the village, the surviving people in the village cannot stay at home all the time, and will gradually come out for activities. There are so many people and messy people, the chickens, ducks and rabbits at home can no longer be released to wander around.

Now the entire hill where my family is located is surrounded, and there is enough space for activities when it is released, killing two birds with one stone.

Maybe it's because these branches are all cut from the Seven Sisters mother plant at home. Although they are also aggressive, they will not attack people or animals in the house.

Today, on the whole hill, except for the newly planted flowers at the foot of the hill, there are only six summer oranges and one pine tree that are still green and lush, and the black and gray land in other places is barren.

The flower growers love farming in their bones, which makes Yan Xiaomi feel very uncomfortable watching this fertile land full of fruits and vegetables turn into a gloomy wasteland.

Since the mutated plants can grow on this land, is it possible for other plants to grow alive? The melons, fruits and vegetables grown in the yard are all growing well. I don’t know if it’s okay to move them outside?
She decided to try it.

In the corner of the backyard, some shallots and garlic seedlings were planted in a small plot. Yan Xiaomi dug up a dozen of them with a hoe, and transplanted the soil and seedlings to a plowed field outside the gate, and poured clean water from the house.

At present, there is no shortage of clean water at home. The water in Yan Xiaomi’s house comes from the well that was drilled next to the gate. Several Seven Sisters plants in the yard have well-developed root systems and are deeply planted in the ground. The groundwater deposited in the well passes through. The purification of the root system of Seven Sisters is completely drinkable.

The next day, looking at the shriveled plants lying in the soil, Yan Xiaomi was disappointed.

Afterwards, she tried other unmutated but still growing fruits and vegetables at home by sowing seeds or seedlings, but unfortunately, they still couldn't grow.

Yan Xiaomi cheered up and decided stubbornly, if ordinary plants can't do it, then I'll plant mutated ones, anyway, I can't leave the ground empty.

After carefully recalling the places she had been to and the mutated plants she had seen during this period, she instantly had a goal to strive for again.

Autumn is coming soon, and you can also collect some mutated seeds to sow. As for whether it is suitable for this season, Yan Xiaomi said that they are all mutated, so it doesn't matter what season it is!

……

Throwing the baskets on the basket, the ax and the hoe into the bucket of the motorized tricycle, Yan Xiaomi drove the car from the yard to the gate, turned back and locked the gate, told Lazy Mimi to take care of the house, got in the car, twisted the handle and rushed out .

Huzi still ran forward and back as usual, with a tall and strong body and a majestic look, with wolf-like eyes, and erect ears occasionally swaying to listen to the movement around her, like her most loyal guard.

Yan Xiaomi's goal is on the highest mountain in the village.

It is said to be a high mountain, but it is actually the tallest one among the rolling hills.

Before the end of the world, this mountain was the firewood mountain in the village. The mountain was full of trees such as pine, eucalyptus, poplar, and chestnut. Some time ago, she came here to cut down many dead trees and store them as firewood at home. A mutated sweet potato (scientific name is jicama, and in the south it is called Shage or jicama).

Sweet potatoes are resistant to drought, waterlogging and barrenness, and are particularly easy to grow.

That day when I was cutting trees on the mountain, I accidentally cut down this mutated sweet potato vine, and the beans shot out from the pods of this mutated sweet potato smashed it. I didn't expect the beans to be poisonous. The skin that came into contact with it was red, swollen and itchy. I went home. After applying medicine for skin diseases for several days, and taking antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicine, it slowly faded away.

Today she came prepared, her whole body was wrapped tightly, her head and face was wrapped with a scarf, and she also wore rubber gloves.

Park the tricycle on the side of the small road at the foot of the mountain, carry the basket on your back, pick up the hoe, and carry the ax in your hand for self-defense, and find the mutated sweet potato in the forest.
