Chapter 140 Chen Qiong Wakes Up
Maggots are easy to find, and now that it is June, flies have already appeared, and maggots are naturally indispensable.The bacon that Shi Jian and the others brought over took too long, and everyone stopped eating it a long time ago. They just put it aside and never threw it away.

Feng Kuang quickly found several pieces of maggot-ridden bacon, each four or five millimeters long.Feng Kuang carefully picked out all the maggots on the plate with tweezers, and put them on Chen Qiong's wound when he was going to deal with them.

Although they are not maggots in feces, they still have a lot of bacteria on them. If they are directly placed on the wound, it will cause cross-infection, which will make Chen Qiong's condition worse.

To eliminate the germs on the maggots, Fengkuang chose alcohol and hypochlorous acid.Hypochlorous acid is produced in Fengkuang, which is not difficult for high-achieving students majoring in chemical engineering, it just needs to carry out a few more chemical reactions.

The disinfected maggots were soaked in physiological saline and allowed to swim in it to wash off the residual disinfectant.Then Feng Kuang asked Shi Jian to put these white-washed maggots into Chen Qiong's wound, and the maggots immediately burrowed in when they saw the carrion, which made Feng Kuang feel a toothache, secretly glad that he did not do it himself.

"How much?" Shi Jian turned his head and asked Feng Kuang.

Feng Kuang didn't know how much to put in, but looking at such a big maggot, it was obvious that the speed of eating the carrion would not be fast, so he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Put more in, put all of these in." After finishing speaking, He pointed to the maggots on the plate.

Shi Jian grinned and said, "There must be forty or fifty of them."

Feng Kuang closed his eyes, nodded fiercely, and said, "Let go."

"Okay, at worst, I'll pick them out when the time comes, and put more rotten meat to go!" Shi Jian also went all out, and put all the maggots on the plate, counting the number carefully in his mouth, so as not to get maggots. It's not fun to take out one or two from time to time.

"There are 47 in total, remember all of them." Shi Jian said to several people standing around after releasing the maggots.

The others nodded repeatedly, and Xia Rou even found a piece of paper and wrote down seriously on it: "Brother Jian put in a total of 47 maggots at nine o'clock in the evening on June [-]rd."

Shi Jian touched Xia Rou's head happily and said, "Look, Xiao Rou is still smart. Feng Chen, you all should learn a little bit."

Feng Chen and Mei Zi claimed yes, followed by Shi Jian and laughed and praised Xia Rou.

Xia Rou was so happy that her pigtails were raised to the sky, and she said stinkingly: "Did you hear that, brother Jian asked you all to learn from me, and I will teach you how to read tomorrow."

This sentence froze the smiles of Feng Chen and the others. Although they wanted to learn how to read and write, they were really upset to learn from a child who was much younger than themselves.

Shi Jian glanced at them a few times, as if he didn't know what they were thinking, and said, "This matter, I think it's okay, the master is the teacher, Xiaorou, you will be everyone's teacher tomorrow."

Hearing Shi Jian's final decision, Feng Chen and the others all heaved a sigh, secretly thinking that they could only accept their fate.

Shi Jian looked at Chen Qiong's wound again, but he didn't see the maggot crawling out, so he carefully bandaged him with gauze.Seeing this, Xia Qing hurriedly took the gauze and replaced Shi Jian.

Shi Jian looked at his watch and found that it was already late, so he asked everyone to go back to rest.Especially the three of him, Xiao Wu, and Andre, who rushed back all night yesterday, are now extremely sleepy.

Lying on the long-lost bed, Shi Jian gently held Xia Qing in his arms, listening to Xia Qing whispering in his ear, and also understood the situation of the tribe after he left.

In the first few days, Chen Qiong's injury has not deteriorated, and Feng Kuang is more concerned about the affairs of the tribe.In line with the principle of keeping everything safe, Feng Kuang also organized those women to sew two more hot air balloons, and conducted a lift-off test respectively.

The launch of the hot air balloon shocked all the newcomers present, calling it a miracle, and even a few women worshiped it.But this way, they have a stronger sense of belonging to the tribe. In private, they say that the tribe is protected by gods, otherwise how could four people defeat more than 50 people?How can it send people to heaven?In a tribe like this, is there anything to worry about?

Feng Kuang did not expect these people's reactions.But after I know it, I understand it after thinking about it, and I am very happy to hear about it.He even mentioned to Xia Qing that when Shi Jian came back, he would create a religion to further strengthen the cohesion of the tribe.

It's a pity that something happened to Chen Qiong before Feng Kuang's plan started, and he didn't have the heart to manage the tribe anymore, so he left all the big and small matters to Xia Qing and let her take full responsibility.Fortunately, all the people in the tribe were women and children, and they usually had a good relationship with Xia Qing, so there was no trouble.Moreover, those newcomers regard this place as a place of God's blessing, so naturally they will not cause trouble.The main work during this period is agriculture. The corn and sweet potatoes have been sown, and most of the vegetables have also been planted.

Listening to Xia Qing's narration of these trivial matters, Shi Jian hugged her tightly, and kissed her face twice in distress.Although Xia Qing said it was easy, but Shi Jian knew that things were definitely not as easy as Xia Qing said.On the one hand, she has to manage the tribe well, and on the other hand, she also has to take care of Chen Qiong. The hardships can be imagined.

"It's been hard for you these few days." Shi Jian said softly, stroking Xia Qing's smooth back.

"It's not hard, it's just," Xia Qing paused, and murmured, "I miss you a little." After speaking, he buried his head in Shi Jian's arms.

It's not enough for outsiders to understand how tender and affectionate the newlyweds of Xiao Biesheng are.

The next day, Shi Jian woke up early, and gently pulled out the arm that was under Xia Qing's pillow, trying not to wake up his lover who was still sleeping in Haitangchun.

Shi Jian tiptoed out of the room, saw Xia Rou push the quilt aside, he stepped forward to help her tuck the quilt again, and then came to Chen Qiong's room.

Feng Kuang woke up early, on the one hand because he was getting older and sleep less, on the other hand he was worried about Chen Qiong, so he couldn't sleep well at all.

Seeing Shi Jian coming in, Feng Kuang squeezed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Last night, you had a hard time, why don't you sleep more?"

Shi Jian was also very helpless when he regarded this old man who was not good at repairing. He gave him a blank look and said, "You still go to listen to the wall at such an old age?"

"Tch, who likes to listen? It's so loud that my old man can't sleep." Feng Kuang said jokingly.

"Uh," Shi Jian blushed, and hurriedly changed the subject, "How is Lao Chen? Is he feeling better?"

Sure enough, Feng Kuang's attention was diverted, and he said with a smile: "I just took my temperature, and the fever has subsided. It seems that I can wake up this morning."

Only then did Shi Jian feel relieved, and said a few words to Feng Kuang to go to the morning exercise that he must do every day.

Coming to the outdoor training ground, Shi Jian saw that Feng Chen and several grown men had already started exercising.Shi Jian greeted them one by one, and then asked: "Why is it so early today? Xiao Wu and Andre don't take a break, are they exhausted these two days?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I'm not used to it." What he said was the truth, during these days, he had already formed the habit of getting up early.

"I'm not tired, chief." Andre said, still with a flattering smile on his face.

Feng Chen greeted him and asked, "How is Elder Chen?"

"It's okay, the fever has subsided, and I think I can wake up today." Shi Jian said with a smile, looking very relaxed.

After the chatter, the few people stopped talking and carried out their own training programs, and they didn't stop until they were all sweating.

A few people went to have breakfast together, the canteen was located in the production area, and the cooks were all new hairy women, but to be honest, the meal really didn't suit Shi Jian's taste.But in this apocalyptic world, no one cares about the taste. It's good to have something to eat. What kind of bicycle do you need?

Just halfway through eating, Xia Rou hurried over, shouting as she ran, "Brother Jian, Grandpa Chen has woken up! Come here quickly!"

When Shi Jian heard this, he threw away the bowl, didn't even eat the rice, and immediately ran back, Feng Chen and others followed behind him.

When they arrived, Chen Qiong was half lying on the kang, and Xia Qing fed him water.Seeing Shi Jian coming in, Chen Qiong smiled and nodded, but said nothing.

Shi Jian knew that Chen Qiong was too weak now, he might not even have the strength to speak, so he didn't care.He asked Feng Kuang, "When did Lao Chen wake up and how did he feel?"

Feng Kuang sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang, held a cigarette pipe in his hand but did not light it, and replied with a smile: "The old cripple just woke up, so I asked Xiao Rou to call you. I just asked him, and he felt okay, just A little hungry."

"Hungry? Xiao Wu, hurry up and get some food." When Shi Jian heard that Chen Qiong was hungry, he immediately turned around and told Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu immediately turned around and was about to go out, Feng Kuang hurriedly called him, and said: "No need, he hasn't eaten for several days, he can't eat now, drink some water first, and get some porridge for the old disabled later That's it."

Xiao Wu is very clever, when she heard what Feng Kuang said, she immediately said to Shi Jian: "Boss, I'll let them cook some porridge, do you want to add some meat?"

Shi Jian didn't understand this, and turned to look at Feng Kuang.Feng Kuang shook his head and said, "No, just cook some corn noodle porridge, let his stomach get used to it first."

Xiao Wu nodded, turned around and ran out to arrange the cooking for Chen Qiong.

Shi Jian stepped forward and touched Chen Qiong's forehead, feeling that it was no different from his own body temperature, patted his chest, and said, "Old Chen, you finally woke up, but you scared me to death."

The corner of Chen Qiong's mouth moved slightly, wanting to say something.Shi Jian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, you must not talk. It is your job to rest now. You don't need to worry about anything, and you don't need to say thank you to me."

After hearing Shi Jian's words, Chen Qiong rolled her eyes and lay back.
