Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

The two found two fir trees of moderate thickness and cut them off.

Kong Zhi neatly peeled off the thorns on the outer skin, and specially polished one of the sticks for Xia Lunong to use.

These two sticks were more than two meters long. Xia Lunong weighed them and felt that the weight was just right.

Kong Zhi looked at his expression and asked: "Do you still have it? Do you want to find another stick?"

"No, these two are enough, let's go back first."

"Okay." Kong Zhi said, "You sit on my back in human form."

Kong Zhi turned back into a golden eagle, Xia Lunong sat on his back, put a long stick across his belly, and stretched out his arms to hug his neck.

Kong Zhi took a few steps to run up and took off brazenly.

Xia Lunong squinted her eyes and looked down, feeling that the evening breeze was very comfortable.

When they returned to the lotus field, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian had already stopped digging lotus roots, but were facing the lotus field to process mussels.

They were chatting and dealing with it, and there was a large wooden basin containing mussel meat at their feet.

Looking down from a high altitude, Xia Lunong saw the pale yellow and thick clam meat in the wooden basin.

The golden eagle flapped its wings and landed.

Xia Lunong threw the wooden stick down first, and then climbed down from him.

Seeing them coming back, Yan Xiannian shouted: "Xiao Nong, Kong Zhi, come here quickly, I'll show you something good."

"What good stuff?" Xia Lunong picked up the stick, put it on the edge of the raft, and leaned over to have a look, "Clam meat?"

"Of course not, take a look at what this is?" Yan Xiannian said as he picked up the bowl next to him and handed it to Xia Lunong.

"Pearls?!" Xia Lunong was startled when she saw it, "How could there be such pearls in the mussels?!"

There are more than half of the bowl filled with pearls of different sizes and shapes, the most prominent ones are the pink pearls that are close to the perfect circle.

"Isn't this too beautiful?" Xia Lu's eyes were filled with amazement, and she picked up the pearl and put it in front of her eyes. "This pearl is the size of a longan, and there is a halo on it!"

"It should reflect the light of the sunset." Yan Xinian said with a smile, "You can play with it."

Xia Lunong took a second look, and put the pearl back, "I'm a big man, what's so interesting about this, I'd better keep it well, and see what it can be used for or exchanged for in the future."

After putting it back, he couldn't help but take a second look and muttered, "This is too beautiful! I didn't expect there to be such a thing in an ordinary mussel!"

Xia Huoqu looked at the open clam in his hand, touched the side of the shell, and instantly took out a small handful of pearls and handed it to him, "I have this one too."

Xia Lunong took it, and looked at it in the dim light of the sky.

The pearls in his hand are also of different sizes, about twenty or so, mainly the size of soybeans, with many flaws on them, and the shape is not round enough, obviously not as good as the pink pearl which is nearly perfect.

Xia Lunong put the pearls in her hand into the bowl and stared at the pink pearls, "This is really the most beautiful pearl I have ever seen, and I don't think I will see more beautiful ones in the future."

"Maybe." Yan Xiannian said, "I will take you to the beach in the future, maybe you will be able to find more beautiful pearls."

Xia Lunong shook her head, "'Once the sea was too difficult for water', I can see it."

Kong Zhi put on his clothes, picked up the pearl from behind him and put it in front of his eyes, "I like it so much, let me make you something to play with?"

"Huh?" Xia Lunong turned her head, "Pearl necklace?"

Kong Zhi raised his eyes, "You can wear it if you want."

"No, no, no," Xia Lunong thanked Bumin, "I was just joking."

Kong Zhi stroked the pearl with his fingertips, looked at his chest, "I'll make you a brooch."

Xia Lunong was curious, "You still make these things?"

"I learned a little bit before."

Yan Xi Nian asked: "What do you mean by learning a little? Sculpture? Jewelry design?"

"Almost." Kong Zhi said, "My grandfather's family opened a jewelry store, and I grew up under his knees when I was young, so I learned a little bit."

Xia Lunong knew that his family members had passed away, and now he was the only one left, so he changed the subject abruptly, "Let's continue cutting the lotus pods before it's dark."

Xia Huoqu looked up at the sky and said, "I can't see anything clearly, and I don't know what's hidden in the water. It's too dangerous. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Let's cook and eat first."

The rice has been cooked and enough firewood has been collected.

Xia Lunong glanced left and right, and there was nothing special to do, so she simply took out a sack of lotus pods from the car body, peeled the lotus pods together with Kong Zhi, and took the lotus seeds.

The dried lotus pods that were peeled off just happened to be thrown into the fire as firewood.

At this time, it was close to the mid-autumn festival in August, and the moon in the sky was close to full circle. The moonlight was particularly bright, and the clear light shone down, covering everything with a white veil. Even if there was no bonfire, they could still see clearly.

After a busy day, they sat by the fire, ate, drank tea and watched the moon, and smelled the fragrance of lotus, not to mention how pleasant it was, as if all the fatigue of the day had dissipated.

Xia Lunong was sitting on a low stool, with her head resting on Kong Zhi's thigh, listening to their chat, and she was drowsy.

His brother patted him on the shoulder, "Go to sleep if you are sleepy, we will keep watch here."

Xia Lunong yawned, "Last night, you guys stayed in the middle of the night, let's go to bed early today, and Kong Zhi and I will stay in the middle of the night."

"The biological clock has been fixed. Today we still keep watch for the first half of the night, and you continue to watch the second half of the night."

Xia Lunong didn't argue with his brother, "Then Kong Zhi and I went to sleep."

"Go to bed early and make sure you have a good rest."

Xia Lunong is still in the shape of a beast today, burrowing into the bed.

He was very tired today, and slept deeply, and fell asleep as soon as he turned into a cat shape and shrunk to Kong Zhi's chest.

After being woken up, he stretched painfully, turned back into a human form in the bed, and muttered softly, "I felt like I just closed my eyes one second, and I was woken up by you the next second."

"Let you sleep a little longer. I can stay on duty all night by myself. You have repeatedly asked me to wake you up."

"It's not that I'm the only one who is sleepy." Xia Lunong put on her T-shirt under the quilt, "Help me get my pants."

Kong Zhi handed him his pants.

He put on his pants under the quilt and muttered in a low voice, "When I go back tomorrow, I must sleep late and sleep until the sun is drying my buttocks before waking up."

Kong Zhi saw him wriggling under the blanket, stroked his hair, "Well, hold on for another night."

Xia Lunong whispered: "For the time being, that's the only way to go."

The two of them got out.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu were still talking by the fire.

Seeing them coming, Yan Xinian said: "Why did you wake up on your own initiative?"

"Maybe the biological clock is here." Xia Lunong yawned, "Brother, go to sleep."

Charlon was still sleepy when she sat down by the fire.

It was a bit cold at night, and people sat by the fire, feeling warm and comfortable.

Kong Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "Let's look at the stars next to each other."

"I guess I'm going to fall asleep after a while."

"Then sleep."

Xia Lunong exerted her perseverance and persevered desperately. No matter how sleepy she was, they did not fall asleep, and they passed the night safely until the morning.

Early the next morning, it was foggy outside, and the visibility did not exceed five meters.

When Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian got up, they could see the thick fog at a glance.

Yan Xiannian was quite surprised, "Why is there such a heavy fog today?"

Xia Huo channeled: "When the sun comes out, maybe the fog will clear up, let's have breakfast first."

Xia Lunong raised her head and said: "Breakfast is ready, brother, wash your hands and come over to eat. This morning, I will eat bamboo lotus seed rice with pan-fried bird meat."

"Okay." Xia Huo channeled, "The fog hasn't cleared yet, so you can eat breakfast slowly, don't worry."

Xia Lunong handed him the meal, "We already dug half a carload of lotus roots and lotus seeds yesterday, and we should be able to go back this afternoon. If we go back early, we might be able to return to the base before ten o'clock in the evening."

Yan Xiannian asked: "Want to go back to the base?"

"That's for sure! It's inconvenient to go everywhere outside, and it's more comfortable to go back to the base." Xia Lunong said, looking at the thick fog outside, and sighed, "I told Kong Zhi to get up early to work today in the early morning, Finish work early and go back early, I didn't expect the weather to be unfavorable, this plan can only be completely aborted."

Xia Huo's channel: "It's just fog, and it clears up after the sun comes out. After eating, we will clean up the car first, and then cook the lunch. We don't set aside time for cooking and rest at noon, and continue working directly after eating. Try to go back early in the afternoon."

"This is also fine." Xia Lunong said, "Then eat bamboo lotus seed rice at noon, topped with a layer of diced lotus root and bird meat, just brought the lard boiled last time, pour a spoonful of lard when you want to eat , then pour in soy sauce, mix well, and make sure it is delicious."

Yan Xinian smiled, "I haven't finished my breakfast yet, I'm getting hungry again when you say that."

Xia Lunong said: "Food, just describing it can make people drool. I'm full, so I'll wash the rice first. By the way, we don't have enough water in storage, or I'll use my ability to plant another Bamboo?"

Xia Huoqu stopped him, "No, save your powers, you have to work in the field all day today, and you can go back at night, pay attention to safety."

Xia Lunong felt that there was no use for keeping his ability, but his brother said that, so he didn't refute it, and honestly saved water.

After breakfast, several people performed their duties and went to work separately.

Xia Lunong was in charge of packing up the things. Except for the cooking pot and the small stool, he put everything into the truck.

The sun came out and the mist lifted a little bit.

Looking at He Tian in front of him, Xia Lunong always felt that there was something strange, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see anything.

His intuition has always been very good. After realizing that something was wrong, he said: "I don't feel that good today, everyone be careful."

Xia Huoqu turned his head to look around, and said: "Maybe something came out after the fog. In the past, you and Kongzhi turned back into animal shapes and walked around this place to see if you found anything. Xiao Nong and I are waiting for you in the camp."

Yan Xiannian and Kong Zhi nodded.

The giant tiger ran around on the ground, while the giant golden eagle circled in the sky.

Their vision and sense of smell are very developed, but after a lap, they still found nothing.

Yan Xi Nian said: "It still smells like yesterday, there are only snakes, rats and other small animals nearby, so it shouldn't be a serious problem, we just need to be careful later."

Xia Huoqu nodded.

Now it can only be like this, the wilderness is full of dangers everywhere, even with their strength, they can't guarantee that they will be safe.

Xia Huo's channel: "Then let's start working now. Today, I will dig lotus root with the previous year. Xiao Nong, you and Kong Zhi will go to cut the lotus pods. Don't go too far, just about the same."

Several people work together.

Kong Zhi asked Xia Lunong to follow behind him, while he supported the raft to move forward.

They had cut all the lotus pods near the shore yesterday, and now they are going to go deeper.

Changhe Marsh has a large area, and they still have a lot of lotus pods to harvest.

Xia Lunong's excitement of discovering the lotus root and lotus pod has passed away yesterday, and today there is only one kind of mechanical labor left to cut the lotus pod.

Today is still a sunny day, the sun is very hot overhead, and Xia Lu is sweating profusely from the sun.

He was wearing a bamboo hat, wiping sweat over and over again, his cheeks were hot and red, and his clothes were also wet.

After working for more than an hour, the bulging lotus pods quickly pushed the raft into the water.

Kong Zhi looked at it and said, "We can't cut it any more, we have to transport the lotus pods back first, and come back to cut them later."

Xia Lunong nodded.

This time it was he who supported the raft in front, and Kong Zhi was in the rear.

The raft broke through the calm swamp and dragged out long ripples, which disturbed the fish and other small animals in the swamp.

The fish jumped out of the water and made a "stab-pulling" sound.

Smelling the fragrance of lotus, Xia Lunong felt a little more relaxed.

They transported the lotus pods back. Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian dug hundreds of lotus pods and piled them up on the shore in a mess.

Xia Lunong glanced, "Brother, has your speed of digging lotus roots increased today?"

"Practice makes perfect, it's faster than yesterday. How about you? How do you feel? Nothing happened, right?"

As Xia Lunong and the others went to the depths of the lotus field to cut lotus pods, the distance between the two groups became farther and farther apart. They spoke in a normal volume and could no longer hear each other's voices.

Xia Huoqu was worried about his younger brother, so he couldn't help asking more questions.

Xia Lunong shook her head, "It's okay, our side is also going well."

Xia Huo channel: "Don't take it lightly, if you persist for another morning, we will go back in the afternoon."

Kong Zhi loaded the sack with the lotus pods into the back of the truck, brought the empty sack over, and said to Xia Huoqu, "Brother Huo Qu, let's continue cutting the lotus pods."

"Go, be careful." Xia Huoqu waved his hand, "Take a rest when you're tired, and we don't have to fill the truck before going back."

Kong Zhi supported the raft to explore the way ahead, and Xia Lunong followed behind.

They propped up to the depths of the lotus field.

Xia Lunong looked back at his brother and his old brother, and found that they had turned into two silhouettes, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Kong Zhi noticed that Xia Lunong behind him stopped, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xia Lunong turned her head back, "I feel like I'm not used to working separately from my brother and the others."

Kong Zhi hooked the corner of his mouth.

Xia Lunong said: "Let's go, let's finish cutting the lotus pods and go back early."

Kong Zhi continued to propel the raft forward.

Neither of them saw it, and then besides the ripples pulled out by the raft, there were a few tiny ripples.

The ripples soon approached Xia Lunong's log, and several slender figures jumped up from the water and climbed onto Xia Lunong's raft.

Xia Lunong felt that the weather was really hot, so she held the bamboo hat on her head and fanned it to the wind.

Just when he was feeling comfortable, something cold suddenly touched his pants.

The coolness spread directly to his legs through his thin pants.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so sensitive, but at this time, his intuition played an important role!

He didn't even think about it, let out a loud cry, and took two steps forward with an "Aww", turned into a cat in mid-air, and flew to the empty raft with all four limbs.

Kong Zhi's face changed drastically, and he turned around to catch him, only to find that Xia Lunong's raft had actually climbed several snakes.

The snake has patterns on its body and a flat and thick neck. It turned out to be several king cobras!

The fur on Xia Maomao's back was all blown up and turned into a big cat ball. His ears were turned back, his mouth was opened to breathe, and his mouth made a rough cry.

He had never been so frightened in his life. At this moment, his mind was blank, and he didn't remember anything, leaving only some simple animal reactions.

The scene in front of them was really terrible, and there were king cobras swimming around constantly, trying to climb onto their raft.

Their raft was floating on the water, surrounded by water, and no one could tell how many king cobras there were under the water.For a moment, they had no way to escape, feeling like there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian had already heard their cries, and without even thinking about it, they turned into animal shapes and ran wildly along the edge of the field.

However, the far water could not decompose the near fire, and it was too late for them to rescue.

The king cobra was entrenched on Xia Lunong's raft, and its upper body was erected, ready to attack.

Each of these king cobras is thicker than their forearms, at least one meter long, and has amazing jumping ability. If they are attacked by these king cobras, the consequences will be disastrous.

Kong Zhi tensed all his muscles, at this moment they had nowhere to go, and danger was imminent.

Of course he can turn back into a golden eagle, but it takes time for this transformation to take place. He can escape the danger, but there is nowhere to put the summer cat in his hand.

He was not sure that he would transform back into a golden eagle by holding the cat.

The cat in his hand was too small and soft, and he was afraid that during the transformation process, the sharp and hard claws would directly scratch Xia Maomao out of several bloody holes.

Putting a summer cat on a raft will not work either.

He knew in his heart that once the cat was put down, the king cobras would attack immediately.

It's too late to say it, and everything happens in a flash of lightning.

Kong Zhi fixedly stared at the King Cobra opposite him, with waves of sweat on his forehead.

Sweat flowed into his eyes, hurting the eyeballs, but he didn't blink.

The movement of the king cobra slowed down to the extreme in his eyes, the moment the first king cobra shrank its body and was ready to attack.

He finally made up his mind and tried his best to throw the Xia Mao Mao in his hand into the air, directly throwing it to a height of tens of meters.

Xia Maomao was caught off guard and thrown into the air, his heart almost stopped beating in fright.

A huge wind poured into his mouth, he couldn't even scream, he could only watch the sky hang and the earth turn.

After being thrown to the highest point, he began to fall under the influence of gravity.

He watched the king cobra getting closer and closer to him, but there was nothing he could do.

At the same time, Kong Zhi didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he tore his clothes and turned into a huge golden eagle.

When Xia Maomao was about to fall to the surface of the water, he caught Xia Maomao with his back dangerously, then flapped his wings, kicked the raft under his feet vigorously, and flew into the air.

Xia Maomao landed on his broad back, using both mouth and claws, directly biting his feathers, and the claws grabbed his back feathers.

This process was so exhausting that Xia Maomao even scratched blood.

After smelling the smell of blood, Xia Maomao calmed down a bit and began to think about their current situation.

He saw the giant wolf and the giant tiger rushing over, and roared when he saw them take off.

The golden eagle also barked in response.

Xia Maomao let out a "meow", nervous and anxious, he didn't know if Kong Zhi was injured, but he himself was fine, his body and flesh were intact.

This thing is so fucked up, he never expected to be besieged by a king cobra.

If it was a different kind of snake, they wouldn't be in such a mess, and they might be able to catch the snake and make snake soup.

But the king cobra is too poisonous, they dare not touch it at all.

"Meow—" Xia Maomao reminded Kong Zhi to go back.

Now there's the king cobra down there, and they'll have to go back to the shore and change back into human form to communicate about it.

Kong Zhi circled in the air and landed on the temporary base.

Giant tigers and giant wolves also came running.

The giant tiger was still holding something in its mouth. It was the king cobra that had besieged them just now, and now the snake had been bitten into two pieces to vent its anger.

Several people turned back into human form, put on clothes, and communicated what had just happened.

The king cobra bitten off by the giant tiger has no head, only the body of the snake is turned over on the ground.

Yan Xiannian went to two sacks and threw the snake body into them, "What happened just now, how could there be king cobras besieging you?"

"I don't know. In fact, nothing happened. I was recovering on the raft when suddenly I felt a chill on my leg. I subconsciously turned into a beast and ran out, only to realize that it was a king cobra." Xia Lunong was terrified, "I just Said why I have been feeling something wrong since the morning, it turned out to be because of the snake."

His legs were still weak now, he couldn't stand up at all, so he simply pulled over the low stool and sat down on the stool.

Xia Huoqu's legs were also weak. He drank a big sip of water and said, "It's actually quite understandable. There are lotus roots and lotus pods here. The food is plentiful. It should be able to attract some birds and other small animals. I guess the king of glasses Snakes usually lie in ambush here and wait for rabbits. I didn't expect that we would be unlucky, and we happened to bump into it today."

Yan Xi Nian said: "Fortunately nothing happened, it's a blessing among misfortunes. We were careless this time, we must be more careful next time."

Each of them summed up a sentence, leaving Kong Zhi speechless.

Xia Lunong looked at Kong Zhi, wanting him to say something, only then did he realize that Kong Zhi was not in the right state, his hands were shaking all the time, and his face was pale.

It was the first time Xia Lunong saw him in such a mess since she had known him for so long, and she was so frightened that she still hasn't recovered.

Xia Lunong became anxious for a moment. Regardless of her weak legs, she stood up abruptly, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay! I'm here, nothing happened just now!"

Kong Zhi trembled.

Xia Lunong hugged him tightly and patted his back with her hands.

Yan Xianian also reached out to pat him on the back, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, we'll go back now."
