After the disaster

This time the movement of these people is really too big, "the first line of life" really became famous this time, whether Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang are going out or staying at home, they can hear many people whispering Goo, say something about "the silver lining".

I heard that there are still many medical research organizations sending expert teams to China to try to obtain first-hand research materials.

They really have to fight for it, because Qiu Cheng only has five "elimination of one hundred poisons" left now, which is definitely not enough for these experts to have one.

Researchers need samples, and Qiu Cheng is of course willing to provide them, but how to provide them and to whom is a problem. If one is not done well, he will expose himself and Ah Chang, and there will be no peace from now on. .

Because of the "line of life", the once lifeless city has regained its vitality, and the night market in front of the Xinnan City Railway Station has become lively again these days.

At 06:30 in the evening, when the night fell and the lights came on, the citizens of Xinnan City washed up after dinner, walked out of their homes refreshingly, and gathered in the crowd of people shopping at the night market.

Pedestrians on the street are constantly flowing and bustling. There are various stalls on both sides of the street, but there are often more people looking at it and fewer people buying it.

"Look!" Suddenly someone pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

"What's the matter?" Pedestrians stopped and looked up to the sky.

I saw a red balloon floating in the dim yellow sky, and a small bottle and a piece of paper were hung under the balloon. The small bottle and the paper underneath were blown left and right by the evening wind, and kept spinning...

"Ah! It's a 'silver line of life'!" Finally, a sharp-eyed person saw clearly the four big scrawled characters written on the note.

"It's a 'line of life'!!!" The whole night market was blown up, everyone ran in the direction where the balloon was flying, some vendors didn't even want their stalls, they just ran after the balloon.

That's a 'line of life'!Do you know how many people in the world are waiting for this medicine to save their lives?Do you know how many rich people there are?

As long as you get one, the wealth it can exchange for is definitely enough for anyone in the night market to have a good life, and no longer need to worry about making a living for the rest of your life.

"!!!" The red-eared alarm sounded, and all the police officers in Xinnan City quickly gathered here, and even the police cars that were rarely seen in normal times were all dispatched.

"All citizens, please step back! All citizens, please step back..." The horns of the police cars kept asking the citizens to back off, but it didn't have much effect.

"Bang bang!" Finally, someone fired a warning shot into the air.

"!" Hearing the gunshots, the citizens who hadn't cared about it suddenly died down.

Anyone who has stayed in the temporary base knows that this gunshot is a warning before those people use force, and it is definitely not just used to scare people. If anyone among them dares to be the first bird, they will definitely eat gun.

"Da da da..." At this time, a helicopter flew over not far away, and everyone was looking forward to it. The plan to get a "line of life" to go back and exchange money for food has been ruined, but this does not affect them. Stay to watch the excitement and witness this historic moment.

The balloon had already floated out of the city center at this time, and floated over the Xinnan River in the urban-rural fringe. Standing on the river bank not far away, everyone saw the door of the back seat of the helicopter being opened under the light of the sky that had not yet completely darkened. Now, a soldier in camouflage uniform leaned most of his body outside. He took an unknown object in his hand, flicked it lightly, and then entangled the rope under the hydrogen balloon, and then carefully pulled it out. inside the helicopter...

"Mission accomplished! All police officers return to their respective positions..."

And Qiu Cheng and the others are currently watching two installers install the air conditioner for 1402.

Air conditioners are really good things, especially those that can be used for heating and cooling. With just one air conditioner and a few humidifiers, they can simply simulate various climatic conditions and grow various herbs. Although it is not a complete simulation, it can also Eighty-nine is close to ten.

Just now after Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang found a hidden place in the night market and put hydrogen balloons, they went to buy air conditioners. After buying the air conditioners, they sent someone to send them over. I pulled a power strip from upstairs, tried it out, and paid cornmeal to send the two masters away.

On the surface, it seemed that they had an extremely ordinary night. Who would have thought that they were the ones who released the hydrogen balloon that touched countless hearts just now?

After sending the samples out, Qiu Cheng didn't care about those things, because the government department had thoroughly checked the grain and seeds flowing to Xinnan City from the south a while ago, and there was no news of any new infected people appearing in the past few days.

Apart from the usual daily farm work, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang spent a lot of time in 1402 these days.What they want to simulate in 1402 this time is the cool and humid southwest climate.

The air conditioner for heating and cooling has been installed, and the outside of the balcony has been sealed with transparent glass. In front of the transparent glass, a frame as wide as the house is placed. It can reflect the sunlight that comes in every afternoon to the ceiling and walls of the house.

There are still two metal halide lamps installed on the high part of the wall, but Qiu Cheng thinks that there should not be many opportunities to use them. Unless it encounters the kind of rainy weather that lasts for more than ten or twenty days, this room needs to turn on the metal halide lamps to supplement the light. .

They waterproofed the floor and the base of the walls, and filled the ceiling and walls with mirrors.Different from other rooms, this time, Qiu Cheng took Ah Chang and installed a lot of iron frames on the wall. These iron frames are strong enough to put wooden baskets for planting medicinal herbs directly on them.

Because the climate in different places needs to be simulated, the air conditioner is turned on all day in this room, and the cost of planting Chinese herbal medicines is relatively high. Qiu Cheng did this to maximize the utilization of space.

Another reason that prompted him to do this is that many Chinese herbal medicines are perennial, and it is relatively easy to plant. Even if they are planted in the Juling Array, the growth rate will be greatly improved, and they will not be tossed every few days like potatoes and cabbage. once.

In addition to the wooden frame on the ground and the wooden basket on the wall, Qiu Cheng also designed a glyph-shaped gutter inside. This gutter can not only replenish water vapor for the whole house, Qiu Cheng also stocked crayfish in it.

A few days passed, and the first medicine garden of their family basically took shape. The batch of medicine seedlings ordered before had also arrived. Other medicine seedlings are also planted in wooden baskets and temporarily placed in this room.

Because they only have one medicine garden now, and with the temperature and humidity in this room, there are very few plants that cannot survive. In the other rooms on the fourth floor, they can build more medicine gardens, simulate more climates, and transplant these medicine seedlings there.

After planting the last medicinal seedling and watering it with fixed root water, Qiu Cheng saw that it was getting late, so he closed the door of 1402 with Ah Chang and retreated.A few days ago, they had replaced the door of 1402 with a strong anti-theft door. Although it was still not as good as the steel door on the fifteenth floor, it couldn't be opened easily.

Walking out of the air-conditioned room, they felt the heat wave outside. They first returned to 1406, and then climbed from 1406 to 1506.The weather has been hot recently, in order to let the [-]th floor be ventilated as much as possible, except for the few steel doors, all the other doors can be opened, because the floor is relatively high, sometimes there is a draft, but it doesn't seem very stuffy.

Qiu Cheng and the others first went to the roof to cut some sweet potato vines, then went down to the 1501th floor, used the guillotine in the [-] restaurant, chopped these sweet potato vines, carried them to the kitchen, put them in a large pot, and added water , put bean dregs, fine bran, add a little salt, add some wood to the stove, and cook slowly.

Taking advantage of the time between cooking pig food, the two of them walked around upstairs and downstairs again, doing all the work that should be done.Now the flock of chickens on the roof has been moved to 1512, the two rooms have been connected, wooden frames have been nailed to the ground, and grass has been planted.

The fighting power of these chickens is really strong, and the green grass with such vigorous vitality in the spirit gathering array is also pecked to pieces by them. Fortunately, after one night, the grass can grow green leaves again.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went in to feed them. Seeing these half a dozen chickens flapping their wings and vying for each other, they couldn't help but feel a little worried. The window sills of these two rooms are not high, in case any chickens fly out foolishly That's the end, it's hard to raise them so big, it's too heavy to carry in your hands, and it's time to grow meat, Qiu Cheng is not willing to let them fall to their deaths.

Just in case, Qiu Cheng found a tape measure and measured the size of the window frames of these two rooms, planning to ask Boss Wang to make a protective net someday.

There are a lot of waste collectors in the village where the Wang family lives. Qiu Cheng sometimes buys things from Boss Wang and the others. Much better, a few young people are in the city, and there are only two old people left at home, who have to rely on the help of people from the same village to take care of them.

The girls and boys of the Wang family are also in the city now, and they go out in gangs to catch bugs every day, and take them to Laohu's stall to exchange for corn buns. Each of them can earn at least one corn bun every day.

After the pig food was cooked and let it cool down a bit, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang carried the large stainless steel soup pot one after the other, and divided the pigs from one pigsty to another. Pull up the water pipe, turn on the tap, rinse the pigpen, and then pour pig food into the trough.

These piglets have a very good appetite now. Qiu Cheng and the others were pouring pig food into the trough, and they were about to dig into it. Fortunately, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang have quick eyes and hands, so at least they didn't pour them all over. .

After feeding the pigs, the day's farm work is basically over. The two of them drilled back from 1506 to 1406, took a shower in the bathroom one after another, and after a short rest, Qiu Cheng was thinking about the protective net, so he called Ah Chang together Went to the gate of New South University.

He reckoned that at this time, the girls and boys of the Wang family were about to go to Lao Hu's to exchange cornmeal buns.

"Uncle Qiu, are you going to play at our house tonight?"

When they got to the gate of Xinnan University, Qiu Chengcheng saw the children of Wang's family gathered in front of Lao Hu's booth. Wang Xiaoyan had already changed the cornbread, so at this time, he ran towards Qiu Cheng's side.

"Don't go tonight, tell your uncle that Uncle Qiu is going to make protective nets for the two windows. This is the size, please take it." Qiu Cheng said and handed it a note.

"Protective net?" Wang Xiaoyan tilted her head and asked.

"You tell him that I raise chickens in the house, and I'm afraid they will fly out, and he will know." Qiu Cheng explained.

"Oh, then just let him watch and do it?" Wang Xiaoyan also understood a little bit.

"That's right." Qiu Cheng smiled.

"Achang, are you going to our house to play tonight?" At this time, Ajie also came over.

"No." Ah Chang had heard what Qiu Cheng and Wang Xiaoyan said just now.He doesn't really want to go either, the cards skills of the Wang family kids are too superb, every time he plays with them, he only loses the cards, it's nothing to lose, the problem is that every time he loses the snacks that Qiu Cheng prepared for him To them, this made Ah Chang feel very uncomfortable.

"Yesterday my second uncle went back to the village and brought back a basket of cucumbers. Ah Chang, have you eaten cucumbers?" Ah Lei also came over at this time.

"No." Qiu Cheng had never planted this before. A few days ago they planted a few pear melons and a few watermelons on the terrace of 1506, and now they have begun to bear fruit. Qiu Cheng said that there will be some in a few days. eat.

"We'll bet on that today, won't you come?" Wang Xiaoyan also chimed in at this time.

"Woo..." Ah Chang was a little shaken.

"Go." Qiu Cheng smiled.Just have him at home.

"That's great, when are you coming over?" Ajie didn't know that Qiu Cheng didn't intend to go there.

"Go after dinner." Qiu Cheng said.

Not long after, the other children over there also exchanged the worms for cornmeal cornbread. The worms that each of them caught were not a whole three catties or six catties, and Lao Hu had to break the cornmeal cornbread for the remaining odds. In order to weigh them, in this way, the speed of collecting bugs will not be so fast.

When these children came over, Qiu Cheng saw that besides the girls and boys of the Wang family, there were also several face-borns, which should be from the old street. Because there are so many children in the Wang family, they naturally absorbed some scattered children. with them.

It's safe if there are too many people. There are so many children together, and there are not many strong men. Don't even think about knocking them down easily. If you are caught, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat, and the sentencing will be severe.

In order to deter those who have evil intentions, the news network will broadcast every now and then. A certain city in a certain province has recently cracked a case. How many criminals have been captured in total, including how many people have been sentenced to death and how many people have been sentenced to life imprisonment...

Those who are a little bit timid will naturally be scared back after watching such news a few times. Few people dare to stand up to the wind and commit crimes.

In the evening, Ah Chang went to Wang's house to play cards with those children. Qiu Cheng was at home alone, sitting under the cowpea shelf outside the terrace, holding a handful of broken jade in his hand and refining it bit by bit.

After this period of practice, he has become a lot more proficient in using spiritual power, and refining such a handful of broken jade is not as strenuous as before, but he knows that on the road of cultivation, he is still just In the toddler stage, if you want to go further, it will inevitably require more effort.

At 09:30 in the evening, Ah Chang came back from Wang's house. This time, he changed his usual state of slumping his head after playing cards, and came back with a smile on his face. Cucumbers were placed on the coffee table, showing Qiu Cheng the fruits of his victory that night.

When Qiu Cheng saw it, he knew that this kid had been duped by the Wang family, so he didn't say anything, and asked him with a smile: "You won it back?"

"En!" Ah Chang's voice should be full of anger.

"Keep working hard." Qiu Cheng encouraged him.

"Eat cucumbers." Ah Chang was very happy, picked up two cucumbers and went to the kitchen to wash them, handed one to Qiu Cheng, picked up the other one himself, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Peel and eat." Qiu Cheng found a planer and came out. Their family has five pigs, three sheep, a group of chickens, a group of voles, and a pool of fish. Usually, they can pick up the good ones and eat them, and there will be no waste of the leftovers.

So the two sat on the sofa like this, watching TV while peeling cucumbers and eating them. After eating, they felt a bit bland. Qiu Cheng took out the sugar again and taught Ah Chang to dip it in the sugar.

Based on Ah Chang's short life experience in human society, he still doesn't know that there is such a thing as releasing water in this world, let alone what it means to cast a long line to catch big fish.

Of course he didn't know that most of the basket of cucumbers was originally intended to be delivered to him and Qiu Cheng by the Wang family.

That night, Ah Chang, who has always been sleeping well, had a rare dream. He dreamed that he was killing all directions at the poker table, killing the girls and boys of the Wang family, and the chips he won were piled up in front of him. up the hill...

"hey-hey……"
