In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 276

When he returned from inspecting the territory the next day, he found that the evolved wheatgrass planted in the pot was wilting due to the sun, but Xia Qing, a farmer who was no longer a rookie, was not worried at all.

Evolved ice grass has a strong vitality. She uses the best cultivation soil and waters it with pollution-free spring water, which will definitely keep the grass alive until its seeds mature.

Xia Qing will not leave the territory today. Her mission is to get rid of insects.

After two days of crazy growth, the first batch of evolved stinging insects that were not killed by pesticides have grown to nearly two centimeters in length. They will burrow into the soil and pupate after one more day of gnawing leaves.

The surviving evolved stinging insects are resistant to antibiotics if they are allowed to pupate successfully and turn into stinging moths. Now next year, there will be a more severe insect plague in the territory.

Xia Qing's territory is very large, and she can't do it alone. The Bearded Feng team arrived early. In the afternoon, after catching the bugs in their own territories, Territory No. 5 and Territory No. 4 sent people to help Xia Qing catch the bugs. Xia Qing paid the two lords three points per person. The workers were paid for their work.

The price for hiring ordinary people to farm in the territory is four points per day. Zhao Ze and Qi Fu sent people over to help. Of course, Xia Qing couldn't let others pay the workers' wages for him.

Four points may not sound like much, but when Xia Qing was working as the deputy captain of the construction team in the safe zone, he could only earn five points after a hard day's work. Many jobs that ordinary people can do only require one or two points a day.

One point can buy a piece of compressed rations. If the food intake is based on the standard of not dying of hunger during a natural disaster, a piece of compressed rations soaked in water and cooked into porridge can be enough for an ordinary adult to eat for a day.

So, although farming in the territory is more dangerous than working in a safe zone, some people are still willing to take risks for high wages.

In the evening, after Xia Qing sent the two lords out of the territory, Tang Huai greeted Xia Qing enthusiastically under the road sign of Territory No. 2, "Xia Qing, have you finished catching the insects? It's good to have more people, it's pretty fast."

"Um."

After exchanging the protective clothing for Yishi, Xia Qing was in a very good mood, and was pleased with Tang Huai who provided the protective clothing.

Unexpectedly receiving Xia Qing's response, Tang Huai took two steps forward excitedly, "How about I help you catch insects tomorrow? I can work from morning to night, no points, no need to worry about food. You know, while catching insects There is no one in our territory who is more professional than me in the field of worms.”

“No need.” Xia Qing turned around and walked inside.

“Sooner or later, we'll kill this ugly woman!” Zhou Xun came over and cursed in a low voice, then asked for instructions, “Boss, it's getting dark soon, shall we go back?”

“What the hell! Who told you that you don't have to work after dark? Do you understand why there was so much movement in Territory No. 1 today? Why don't you just keep an eye on it!”

After venting his anger on Zhou Xun, Tang Huai looked eagerly at Territory No. 3.

The grass wall in Territory No. 3 has been bitten by evolution bugs and its leaves cannot be completely blocked. Tang Huai peeked through the vague gap.

Even if you can't see the wolf, you can still see the crazy sheep. No matter what happens, just seeing a chicken is fine. He was really curious about Territory Three.

If Xia Qing is willing to hire him to work in the territory, he will immediately leave the Sufeng team and join the No. 3 territory. He can do it without being paid, as long as he is allowed to walk and evolve into a wolf.

The grass wall will grow quickly if water is poured on it. Xia Qing ignored Tang Huai who was looking for him, went to the buffer forest to get a bucket of non-polluted spring water, and went home to discuss important matters with Sick Wolf and Broken Waist Wolf.

Although the pesticide added with the advanced evolved black gardenia killed 95% of the evolved thorn moth larvae, the remaining 5% is not a small number because of the large number of these insects.

The bugs in the 49th and 50th mountains can make birds, snakes, frogs, lizards and other insectivores well fed. Few of them will rush to the territory where humans gather to eliminate the bugs. Therefore, these evolved bugs must be eliminated. , but also rely on the strength within the territory.

Because Xia Qing and his animal companions were diligent enough, all the snakes, frogs and lizards in the territory were almost eliminated.

bird? Ever since Xia Qing stole the eggs and the two egrets moved away, Xia Qing's thousands of acres of territory had no resident birds, let alone hope for them. Since wild ones could not be relied upon, Xia Qing used domestic ones.

Xia Qing asked the sheep boss to take the insect-eating chickens to eliminate insects in the village. After being taught a lesson several times, the black-feathered rooster did not dare to provoke the sheep boss anymore. It would go wherever the sheep boss told him to go.

Today, Xia Qing was busy catching insects outside. The sheep boss drove the chickens to catch insects in the village.

One thing is better than another. No matter how powerful the evolved stinging insect is, it is only more than two centimeters long. In the eyes of evolutionary chickens, it is just a vegetable. Even some evolved insects that moved quickly and had burrowed into the soil to pupate were dug out by the chickens and eaten.

But this is only in the village. Within Xia Qing's 7,000 acres of territory, there are still many evolved bugs that have escaped human sight and are eating day and night.

Eliminating a bug now will result in one less moth next year. A female moth can lay at least five hundred eggs. So if you can eliminate one more insect now, you have to eliminate one more insect.

Humans cannot continue working at night, but wolves can after resting at home for the day.

The sick wolf was very obedient. After drinking the meat porridge given to it by Xia Qingsheng and reading Xia Qing's object lesson, and understanding how to get rid of the insects, it put on protective clothing and set off, but the broken-waisted wolf lay still on the tatami.

The sheep will work if he praises him, and the sick wolf will work if he is given food. The remaining brain-evolved wolf is not that easy to control.

Xia Qing rolled her eyes and went upstairs to get a few strings of pearl necklaces that were polished, round and shiny. "Look, you broke waist, this is a pearl necklace, isn't it beautiful?"

The Broken Waist Wolf couldn't speak, but wherever Xia Qing's hand holding the necklace moved, its eyes would turn.

Xia Qing quickly found out which necklace it liked best, then handed it to it and negotiated the terms, "Go and exterminate the insects, and this necklace will be yours tomorrow morning."

The Broken Waist Wolf stared at the necklace quietly without moving. Xia Qing understood and hung the pearl necklace directly around the Broken Waist Wolf's neck. "Okay, I'll pay the reward first and go get rid of the pests."

Xia Qing couldn't help but complain after seeing the broken-backed wolf standing up, stretching, opening the door and going out.

The evolved Blue Star animals are really not the craziest, only crazier. Who would have thought that a brain-evolved male wolf could be so beautiful and like necklaces made of pink and white pearls.

Put it in protective clothing?

Need not! As soon as Xia Qing got up this morning, someone asked Xia Qing to put it on. It had been a pretty day.

Xia Qing put a necklace with a black pearl on it around her neck. Among all the pearls, Xia Qing likes this black one.

There were not many black pearls in the bag Yang Jin gave her, not enough to string a necklace. Xia Qing exchanged with Chang Li and the others in Territory No. 1. Although they all had pearls of various colors, none were the same size as Xia Qing's black pearls, so Xia Qing simply got a necklace with a single pearl.

This thing is very comfortable to wear and looks good, but it can only be worn indoors. When performing tasks in the evolutionary forest, anything that has no practical use is considered cumbersome.

Xia Qing combed the sheep boss who had worked hard all day for a while, then put on night vision goggles and went up to the attic. He soon discovered two wolves that were patrolling the territory to kill insects.

After getting rid of the parasite, the sick wolf's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. He is now very energetic and can jump up and swat insects with his shoe-covered claws.

The Broken Waist Wolf was still taking his time, looking around for the two evolutionary bugs in Xia Qing's picture, and then slapped them to death with one claw. The action was actually a bit cool.

　　There were two evolved wolves guarding the territory at night. Xia Qing felt relieved, yawned and drew the curtains. (End of chapter)
