In the last days, I saved the earth by planting

Chapter 6
Yan Xiaomi didn't expect that it was only one day since the last time he called his brother, and he would no longer be able to contact him.

It's not that no one answered the phone, but that no matter whether it's a mobile phone, a computer or a TV, there's no internet.

Although I was alone in the past, I could call and send text messages to my brother from time to time. After all, I still have a support in my heart. Now I can't get in touch at all. Yan Xiaomi is a little flustered and feels so lonely, as if he is the only one left in the world of.

It was too quiet around, except for the occasional clucking chicken, there was no other sound.

Although she was a little scared, Yan Xiaomi stayed at home obediently and resolutely stayed at home.

After another week like this, Yan Xiaomi's worry about his brother overcame his fear, and decided to climb to the top of the mountain with his mobile phone to see if there was a signal.

In summer, wear long-sleeved trousers, hats and masks to cover tightly, and try to expose the skin as little as possible, in case of being bitten by a mosquito infected with the virus, it will be miserable.

Carefully put the mobile phone in his pocket and carried an ax for self-defense, Yan Xiaomi stepped out of the house for the first time in a month, his heart was pounding, he looked around and there seemed to be no danger, carefully locked the courtyard door, and walked quickly along the path Running to the top of the mountain, I was as anxious as if a ghost was chasing after me.

Dog days are very hot, but this year seems to be extraordinarily hot. After running for a long time, Yan Xiaomi was already sweating profusely, his long sleeves and trousers were completely soaked, and he was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke, like a dehydrated fish with only his mouth to breathe.

The mountain itself is not high, and Yan Xiaomi's house is two-thirds of the height of the mountain, and he climbed to the top of the mountain in a short time.

Yan Xiaomi held up the phone and walked around trying to connect to the signal, even if it was a bar.

But in vain, the signal grid from low to high is always gray, and I understand that this will happen sooner or later, and I am still a little frustrated.

I can still live in a corner, and I don’t know what the outside world has become. Without the signal, human beings have returned to the life without remote communication in the early days.

Yan Xiaomi walks home with a sleepy expression, her gaze flicks around inadvertently, huh? !No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I went up the mountain just now.

In summer, when the vegetation is flourishing, the weeds on the roadside and in the field are all withered and yellow. Most of the summer orange trees planted in the field are yellow and withered, and only a few of them are more tall and straight. The yellowed fruit is bigger.

This is wrong!Rong Province has always had a lot of rain, and it rains for more than half of the year. Shuiba Village is surrounded by a large lake. The land is humid, and waterlogging is common. It is extremely rare for this large area of ​​vegetation to die of drought.

Take a closer look along the way, not only fruit trees, but also many pines and cypresses have become bare commanders.

Yan Xiaomi decided to go to the river to see if there was any change in the reservoir.

The aquatic plants on the riverside were basically dead, and the water was no longer as clear as the light blue it used to be. The color was a bit dark green. In the shallow water along the river, densely packed river prawns paddled feebly.

At first sight of so many river prawns, Yan Xiaomi was startled.

In the past, if you wanted to fry Panhe shrimp, you had to fish in the river for a long time, and what you caught were only small shrimps. It was rare to see river shrimps as big as a thumb, and there were so many.

It seems that these shrimps are dying, and there is never too much food. Based on the principle of not wasting, Yan Xiaomi went home and took a long-handled fine net bag and a bucket, and ran back and forth several times to collect the shrimps that could be caught nearby. They were all taken home.

With so many prawns, I can’t keep them in hot weather, so I simply make them into dried shrimps, which are durable.

It is not an easy job to remove the heads and threads of several large buckets of shrimp. It took one person a whole day to clean them from morning till night.

Throw the shrimp heads and shrimp skins to the chickens and ducks at home. The shrimps are boiled in salt water, drained and dried in Shau Kei, and taken out to dry tomorrow.

After busy work, I decided to make a sumptuous dinner as a reward. Of course, delicious shrimps are indispensable. One person, one cat and one dog sat under the eaves and ate deliciously.

The next day, Yan Xiaomi suspected that the world was a fantasy.

Have you ever seen eggs and duck eggs the size of an adult's fist?Have you ever seen a chicken or duck that is smaller than an ostrich?
The chicken coop couldn't hold it anymore, so they all went to stay in the pigsty, which was spacious.

Maybe this is the variation that my brother said. It seems that my strength is much stronger than before. I carried a bucket of [-]-jin shrimp from the river yesterday, and ran home from the river at a brisk pace. Have you changed yourself? ?Yan Xiaomi thought optimistically.

If Yan Xiaomi can receive the information from the outside, she will know that she has indeed mutated into a power-type ability user, but the mutation time is short, and the ability needs time to be further strengthened.

Yan Xiaomi, who has improved in strength, decided to go to the river to catch some fish and shrimp for storage in the morning and evening when it was not so hot.

Seeing that these shrimps can still be eaten now, if they can't eat them in the future, it will be difficult to eat them again.

The concept of having food at home and not panic is firmly rooted in the hearts of rural people. Yan Xiaomi obviously also has this attribute. When he sees something good, he wants to move back home.

Yan Xiaomi, who went out again, found that the air outside was still turbid and unpleasant, but the air in her yard was very fresh, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

I didn’t feel much when I stayed at home before, but when I came out, I found that there was a big difference. Could it be that the scent of the seven sisters blooming more and more brilliantly by the courtyard wall has the effect of purifying the air?

Everything is my own random guess, it's useless to think too much.

Yan Xiaomi carried a net bag and a bucket in the morning and evening, and diligently fished shrimp from the river bank to his home. After fishing, he rowed the small wooden boat at home and caught many fish struggling to breathe on the river.

Taking advantage of the hot weather, the shrimps were processed and dried in the sun to make salted shrimps, and the fish were dried to make salted fish. Yan Xiaomi weighed them, and the salted fish and shrimps together weighed nearly [-] catties, which was a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at the warehouse with a smile, although it has been consumed during this period of time, a lot of new inventory has been added, and the one subtracted and one added are still much more than before. I like it for myself, it is too capable.

The weather is getting hotter. There is no room temperature gauge at home. It is estimated to be close to [-] degrees. After [-]:[-] in the morning and before [-]:[-] in the afternoon, you will never dare to go out. The sun feels like it can roast people into jerky.

Being alone is too lonely and boring, Yan Xiaomi has always been a person with goals and full of action.

Finding fun from stockpiling grain, and thinking that I have the ability to protect myself, I started a trip to explore the surrounding area.

It was just dawn in the early morning, and Yan Xiaomi filled a large plastic bottle of water and put it on his back in a pannier. He picked up his ax and set off. It took him two days to search all over the mountain where his house was located.

There is a small hill, and there are paddy fields under the mountain, but the paddy fields have dried up and cracked due to continuous high temperature weather.

There are fruit trees planted in the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is Chaishan, where common trees such as pine and cypress are planted.

Now there are only six fruit trees left in the large fruit forest, and the trees on the top of the mountain are even worse. There is only one pine tree left, and the others are all dry and dead.

In line with his usual thrifty living habits, Yan Xiaomi dragged all the dead fruit trees and trees home, cut them into firewood of suitable size, and stacked them neatly under the eaves of the back wall of the kitchen.

Yan Xiaomi didn't stop until the back walls of the three kitchens were all covered up, and now there was no need to worry about running out of firewood.

After exploring the top of his own hill, Yan Xiaomi took the courage to take an axe and went around the hills where several nearby families lived. The doors of all the houses were closed, and no one was heard or people came out to move around.

During the sensitive period, Yan Xiaomi didn't even knock on the door, and after a stroll around, he went home and huddled up again.

The only thing to do every day is to carry water to water those trees in the morning. For those with power variation, it is so easy to carry water a few times!

Another week passed, and the weather was so hot that I didn't even dare to go in the yard, and the ground burned my feet even if I stepped on it through the soles of my shoes.

In the past years, power outages were common in rural areas during the peak period of electricity consumption. Thanks to my brother for his thoughtfulness, he installed solar power, and the air conditioner can only be turned on 24 hours a day. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do with the weather.

Huzi and Mimi didn't stay in the yard anymore, and they were blowing the air conditioner in the house with her all day long.

Yan Xiaomi put a big fan in the livestock house. When his parents were there, he would blow it in the yard when the weather was hot, and the wind was quite strong.

Add a little more water to the chickens, ducks and rabbits a day, and the fruits and vegetables in the yard also have to be watered frequently, and they are all dried out.

In the past, the livestock pond on the top of the building could be used for two or three days once it was fully pumped, but now it is enough to pump it twice a day. When will it rain and cool down on this day?
