After the disaster

At night, when Qiu Cheng came out of samadhi, he felt that his samadhi this time was more beneficial than usual, and the purer aura was very helpful to his practice.

"Woo..." Ah Chang was waiting beside him, but he had already fallen asleep. At this moment, he heard Qiu Cheng get up, and then he woke up again.

Qiu Cheng didn't go downstairs to sleep directly, but walked towards 1506. Outside the south-facing balcony of 1506, several baskets of ginseng were neatly placed there. Taking advantage of the moonlight to carefully observe the growth of these ginsengs, Qiu Cheng quickly I found that they didn't grow well, and they still didn't seem to adapt to the climate here.

The summer in Xinnan City is humid and hot, which is not suitable for the growth of ginseng. It is only June now, and it is already like this. If this continues, these ginsengs will hardly survive this year's summer.

In fact, the temperature and humidity are not difficult to control. You only need to build a closed glass room, install an air conditioner, control the temperature and light, and adjust the humidity according to your needs.

It's just that there is no such vacant room on the fifteenth floor. The available rooms have already been used. Many of the rooms are planted with crops. If you want to find workers to come over to build glass houses, these crops will definitely be exposed. He can only wait for the harvest, or he can ask Shen Xing, maybe she has already made progress.

Before that, these ginsengs had to be boiled first. Qiu Cheng planned to move the meditation place to the 1406th floor, because the [-]th and [-]th floors were not on the same plane. The spirit-gathering formations on the building are not connected.

The next day, Qiu Cheng and A Chang worked hard all day, and finally prepared the paddy fields of 1501 and 1512. The rice seedlings that had started raising seedlings before were only more than ten centimeters deep, which was less than enough When transplanting rice seedlings, Qiu reckoned that it should be almost done tomorrow morning.

The rice seedlings over there in 1507 had been sown in time after the last crop of rice was harvested, and now they have grown luxuriantly. Qiu Cheng is now fertilizing and watering every day and dare not be negligent. If there is any fertilizer at home, he will stick to this paddy field first. use.

In the evening, Qiu Cheng and A Chang took back the bean dregs that had been drying for a day from the roof of the building, wrapped them in several layers of plastic bags to keep them dry, and then went to 1505. It was time to feed those earthworms again today.

There was a plastic bucket in the corner of the bathroom. The lid of the bucket was always tightly closed. Qiu Cheng lifted the lid and used a spoon to turn over the contents of the bucket. These were food for earthworms.

Over the past few days, these earthworms have now adapted to the new environment, and they rarely climb up and down when they are free. These can be seen from the traces left on the inner wall of the earthworm bucket. The traces left in the past are basically gone. Dries and new marks are rarely seen.

This bucket used to ferment food for earthworms is mixed with dry and wet. When fermenting cabbage clappers and cabbage roots before, there was a lot of water. Qiu Cheng added things to it in the future, just soaked in these liquids, and always fermented. Very fast.

Since these earthworms decided to set up camp here, their food intake has skyrocketed. A few days ago, Qiu Cheng saw that there was nothing to feed them, so he cut a few handfuls of grass from the house in 1505, chopped them up and put them in this place. In the bucket, after simple fermentation, it was fed into the earthworm bucket. I didn't expect it to be quite popular with these earthworms.

One by one, he untied the pieces of cloth on the worm barrels, stepped on an upside-down wooden basket, and poured two spoonfuls of fermented weeds into each barrel starting from the first floor, while Ah Chang added the good things to him. Afterwards, these cloth pieces were covered one by one and tied with tape. Although these earthworms have not shown any willingness to escape recently, some accidents cannot be ruled out.

After feeding the earthworms, Qiu Cheng took an empty bucket from the aisle outside, and started to receive the worm tea. He turned on the faucet under the worm bucket, and the worm tea accumulated at the bottom of the bucket flowed down. It's gone in a few seconds.

After collecting all the earthworm buckets, a total of hundreds of milliliters of worm tea was collected, and watered to water the crops. This day's work was finally over.

The next morning, Qiu Cheng came out of the corridor on the [-]th floor and found that the rice seedlings had grown to a size that could be transplanted. There was no need to waste any more time, otherwise, when the sun came out, the rice seedlings would grow even faster. If you miss the best time for transplanting rice seedlings, it will easily affect the yield in the end.

I didn't have time to eat breakfast, and A Chang and I hurriedly started transplanting rice seedlings, inserting the prepared rice seedlings into the paddy fields of 1501 and 1512.

Two large living rooms plus three rooms, the area is not small, but they prepared enough seedlings this time, the rice fields were filled, and there was a little more in the end. Some soil was added to the baskets, and they were planted in wooden baskets, and placed in the pool in 1505, allowing the water to seep into the wooden baskets and overflow the soil in the baskets.Considering that rice needs more light during its growth, Qiu Cheng placed these wooden baskets in a place with sufficient light.

After finishing these tasks, both of their stomachs were already growling with hunger. They returned to the fourteenth floor, washed off the dirt on their bodies, and Qiu Cheng started cooking.

First wash the beans soaked last night, put them in the soymilk machine to make soymilk, then take out the kimchi box from the refrigerator, take a piece of spicy cabbage out of it, cut it, add water and put it in the rice cooker After cooking, I saw that the color was still a little lighter, so I poured some soup from the kimchi box.

Then I cut up two more potatoes and a piece of old tofu, and put them all in the pot to cook for a while, until it was almost done, then I added a large bowl of rice left over from yesterday's meal, and sprinkled a handful of garlic leaves before leaving the pot.

"Is it delicious?" Qiu Cheng scooped up a spoonful of rice with a spoon, turned around and saw that Ah Chang ate so much that he wanted to bury his face in the bowl, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hmm." Ah Chang took another two mouthfuls of rice, chewed it twice, took a sip of the soy milk on the coffee table, and swallowed it with a grunt. He was really hungry today.

After breakfast, the two went out together. They were going to the tofu shop to get the bean dregs. They stopped by Shen Xing and asked her how the purchase of the house on the fourteenth floor was going.

On the Wang's side, this is the busiest time of the day. Wang Lao Er and his wife are selling tofu in the morning market, and the house cannot be guarded by anyone, just in case someone will spot them and they still have a lot of beans. , take advantage of this time to start.

When Qiu Cheng passed by, Mrs. Wang's wife and his nephew were pushing a tricycle to go out to replenish goods for Mr. and Mrs. Wang at the morning market. Their family only had one tricycle, and they couldn't pull much in one trip. We have to make another trip or two.

"Be careful on the way, both of you." Boss Wang sent the two of them out. He had to stay at home and watch over him, and he couldn't go with him. Otherwise, there would be two girls left in the house, and any gangster who came in could leave them alone. up.

"Don't worry, I don't know how many patrols there are on this road." His wife said, let his nephew sit down first, followed by himself on the tricycle and set off.

Boss Wang still felt a little uneasy. After watching them leave, he turned around and saw Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang riding a tricycle from the other side of the small road.

"Come here to get the bean dregs? I thought you two weren't coming today." Boss Wang laughed.

"Some things are delayed at home today." Qiu Cheng pressed the brake handle of the tricycle.

"Uncle Qiu, your bean dregs." At this time, Xiaoyan and Xiaoling in the yard heard the movement, and ran out with a bag of bean dregs.

Xiaoyan is the only daughter of Wang Chengliang's third sister, a child of a single-parent family, and Xiaoling is the youngest daughter of Wang's second child. These two girls are very cheerful and generous. It can be seen that the Wang family protects them very well. , It is usually difficult for children with rough and difficult childhoods to develop such a cheerful personality.

"Is Ah Chang coming to play cards at night?" Xiaoling invited.

"Okay, I just have nothing to do tonight." Qiu Chengbang Ah Chang agreed.

"Ah Chang, remember to bring Peanut here at night." Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Ah Chang reluctantly responded.

"These two ghost girls." Boss Wang laughed and cursed. Children don't play very well, and they don't play for a long time every day. As long as they are not fascinated, adults basically don't care.

"Then you are busy, I have something to do." Qiu Cheng said goodbye to Boss Wang and the others, and rode to Shen Xing's house by bicycle.

It was also a coincidence that when Qiu Cheng and the others passed by that day, Shen Xing just came back from the outside. Seeing Qiu Cheng bringing Ah Chang over, he invited them to sit in his yard.

Qiu Cheng didn't refuse this time, and entered Shen Xing's courtyard with Ah Chang, and even pushed the tricycle in together.

The courtyard of Shen Xing's house is not big, and on the left hand side of the entrance, there is a tree that Qiu Cheng can't name. Shen Xing moved a stool out from the house, and asked Qiu Cheng and the others to sit there and talk. It's high. Fortunately, it hasn't rained these days, so it won't be very stuffy. It's relatively refreshing under the tree.

Not long after they sat down, their child named Shancheng brought out two glasses of cold mint water for Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang, while Shen Xing's younger sister, the third girl from the Shen family, just secretly looked around in the room.

Ah Chang drank a glass of mint water and couldn't help smacking his lips. He had never tasted this flavor before, and it felt very cool.

"Does Ah Chang like mint water? I still have a lot of mint leaves at home, you two will take some back later." After finishing speaking, Shen Xing told her nephew: "Go, pour a cup for auntie too."

Shancheng went back into the house again, and after a while, he came out again, this time he brought them the whole jug of mint water from the refrigerator.

Several people were sitting in the yard, drinking mint water and talking about things, mainly Qiu Cheng and Shen Xing were talking, and Ah Chang was listening.

"I've been busy looking for a house in the city for the past few days. If you're in a hurry, I'll contact the owners on the fourteenth floor in the afternoon. I've contacted them once before, and none of them readily agreed." Said that Qiu Cheng asked about the acquisition of those houses on the fourteenth floor, Shen Xing said so.

"I want a room that can be exposed to the sun right now. It would be even better if it could be one of the two next door to my house." Qiu Cheng is not particularly anxious about the other houses.

"I'll contact them first. When I get news, I'll go find you." Shen Xing replied.

After discussing this matter, Qiu Cheng asked Shen Xing about their family.

"My mother is currently in contact with my grandfather's old subordinates. Although these years have passed, there is not much friendship left, but anyway, walking around, it should not help that old guy to bully us." Shen Xing finished drinking the bottom of the cup Taking the last sip of mint water, he said indifferently.

After leaving Shen Xing's house, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang rode a tricycle back. It was almost eleven o'clock, and they could start cooking lunch when they got home.

When passing by the Xinnan River, Qiu Cheng saw a lot of lampposts erected in the land that was pulled up with barbed wire, and the pillars were installed with black light bulbs. Qiu Cheng knew this kind of light bulbs. It is called a black light, and bugs are very sensitive to this kind of light and have a strong phototaxis.

It seems that they are planning to use black light to attract insects to feed ducks. Originally, this should be regarded as a very good breeding mode, but...

Qiu Cheng looked at the green hills on the other side of the Xinnan River. He and Ah Chang had been going there a lot in the past few days, knowing that the density of insects on that mountain was not small, and there was not only such a wasteland around Xinnan City. There are also many wastelands over there, but because Qiu Cheng was attacked in a village upstream before, he rarely took Ah Chang to that direction to so many wastelands and so many bugs, and let these black lights attract the bugs. If so, what kind of event will it be then?Large-scale bugs come towards the light, will the situation really get out of control by then?

As one of the residents of Jiayuan Community, Qiu Cheng only hopes that the situation is not as bad as he imagined.
