Chapter 526 Eating relatives
“Sister Qing, this water tastes really good.”
Tan Qi boiled the bottled water that Xia Qing sent and took a sip, her eyes brightened again.
“This is spring water that has been filtered many times, and the content of chlorine elements is very low.” Xia Qing explained, “If you stay in the territory during this period, you can drink this water often.”
The dangerous area of No. 50 Mountain has been burned. After the surveillance and "no entry to dangerous areas" signs are installed, Xia Qing can tell the allies about the location of the hidden valley on No. 50 Mountain and the water quality of the hot springs, so that they can take it. Use spring water and clean up the valley to prepare for breeding.
Territory No. 15 is also her ally. Because Tan Qi, the leader of No. 15, is too young, Xia Qing will not tell her such important information, but she can still enjoy the benefits of being an alliance member.
“Are these eggs from the chickens raised by Sister Qing?” Seeing Xia Qing preparing to stir-fry, Tan Qi hurried over to add firewood, chirping like a happy bird.
The dinner Xia Qing prepared today was steamed rice, scrambled eggs with leeks and snake meatball soup. Tan Qi brought a pack of Green Lantern BBQ jerky, "This is Green Lantern bamboo rat jerky. Sister Qing, try it. It's delicious."
"Okay." Xia Qing handed the rice to Tan Qi, "Eat more, I'll steam more."
The white rice in the bowl is of the same quality as the green rice that Dad received in exchange. Tan Qi didn't expect that Xia Qing would take out a big bowl full of precious food and share it with her.
The green lamp jerky she brought over was too little to exchange for so much delicious food. So, Tan Qi decided to exchange her most precious food, "I planted two pots of green strawberries. The strawberries should still be yellow when they grow next year. When the strawberries mature, I will deliver them to Sister Qing."
"Okay." Xia Qing understood what the little girl was struggling with and readily agreed.
Sure enough, after she agreed, Tan Qi picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She ate every bite very slowly and carefully. Xia Qing has seen this kind of attitude towards precious food that is almost pious in many people, and without exception they are all people who have experienced extreme hunger.
Tan Junjie's salary can support two people, how can Tan Qi not have enough to eat?
Although Xia Qing felt strange, she didn't ask any questions. After the two of them finished eating all the food, she took out a handful of yellow chestnuts and placed them by the fireplace for Tan Qi to roast.
Guarding the warm fireplace and having a full meal, Tan Qi was full of curiosity about Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, I heard from Brother Su Ming that you worked in the construction team when you were in the safe zone and learned many useful skills. This hut and territory You did a lot of things yourself, you are so awesome.”
Xia Qing used an iron hook to pull the chestnut and explained, "I am a power evolver, and I can only use my strengths in the construction team."
"Power evolvers are best suited for farming." Tan Qi further confirmed this from Xia Qing, "I also want to power evolve."
Xia Qing smiled, "Speed evolution is more powerful than power evolution."
"Hmm. Speed evolution is suitable for hunting, and strength evolution is suitable for farming." Tan Qi hugged her knees on the chair and suddenly talked about recent events.
“Sister Qing, have you heard? This month, more than twenty children with evolutionary abilities were eaten in the safe zone.”
There have been rumors circulating in the safe zone that eating evolved people can give rise to evolutionary abilities. Although the official has refuted the rumors many times, some people still believe it. Xia Qing was hunted several times when he was in the safe zone.
Children, especially evolvers among children, have always been the focus of protection in safety zones. Families that give birth to evolved children can receive more benefits and move to safer areas.
With all the protection measures in place, how come so many children are missing?
Xia Qing asked, "Is there something wrong with the guards in the safe zone?"
Tan Qi hugged her knees tightly, "They were all killed by their relatives, because drinking the blood of blood-related evolvers and eating their meat has a better effect on stimulating evolutionary abilities."
Seeing that Tan Qi looked strange, Xia Qing asked, "Someone is following you?" "Yes."
Tan Qi looked straight at the burning flames in the fireplace, with a heavy expression that didn't look like a nine-year-old child at all, "It's my aunt. When she was cooking in the kitchen, she deliberately cut my arm with a knife, trying to draw my blood." . But she is an ordinary person and not as fast as me. I avoided it, but my grandma and uncle didn't believe it.”
Xia Qing continued to ask, "Does your uncle have children?"
Tan Qi nodded, "I have a younger brother who has not detected the ability to evolve. My uncle and aunt are not evolvers either."
Xia Qing pulled out a roasted chestnut, broke it open and handed it to the little girl who showed a panic expression because she remembered the terrifying experience, "Have you told your dad about this?"
"Thank you, Sister Qing." Tan Qi took the chestnuts and said thank you, "Not yet. My father has been too busy recently. I'm afraid that he will be distracted, so I want to wait until he comes back. Sister Qing, I don't want to go back. I want to "Stay in the territory and farm. I'm nine years old and I'm still an evolved person. I have the strength to grow food and vegetables to support myself. Do you think it's possible?"
Xia Qing doesn't have the final say whether it's okay or not, "You have to discuss this with your dad and Aunt Yan."
Tan Qi held the warm chestnuts and murmured, "You can't tell Aunt Yan, and you can't cause her trouble. She works harder than dad. She trains hard every day and gets stronger. Sister Qing..."
Tan Qi looked at Xia Qing with tears in her eyes, revealing the most vulnerable side of a child, "Do you think my father will believe my words, or his mother and brother?"
Xia Qing looked at Tan Qi calmly, "Your father is very capable, he will definitely be able to find out the truth."
"Yeah." Tan Qi sniffed, wiped her tears on her knees, and cheered up again, "Although my dad is only a fourth-level speed evolver, his marksmanship and fighting skills are very good. He doesn't perform updates It's not that he didn't dare to take on dangerous tasks, it was because he stayed to protect me. I followed my father until I was four years old. Later, my father took my grandma and uncle over and sent me to study in a safe zone..."
After listening to Tan Qi talk about how powerful her father was for a while, and after confirming that her mood had calmed down, Xia Qing burned the fireplace, checked the chimney, and sprinkled insect repellent around the house, and asked her to call Yanlong on her mobile phone. , just left the hut and began to patrol the territory.
The weather is clear tonight, and the sky is covered with twinkling stars, pushing a crescent moon to the top of the mountain in the west. The cold wind slaps the tarpaulin of the greenhouse, making a few slight creaking sounds.
This voice brought Xia Qing back to the territory from the **** memories in her mind.
If this kind of sound can be made, it means that one or several supports of the greenhouse are not strong.
Xia Qing untied the iron wire that fixed the wooden door of the greenhouse, entered the shed, turned on the flashlight and walked forward slowly. After finding the source of the creaking sound, he marked it and will replace the bracket tomorrow.
After going around three greenhouses, Xia Qing checked two more greenhouses. When she came out, she found the sick wolf standing in the cold wind waiting for her, grinning very happily.
This smile was so healing and warm. Xia Qing rubbed its head and took it to patrol along the grass wall. Then it looked at the hut on the side of the farmland with the lights out, and walked towards his home.
After entering the house, Xia Qing added some firewood to the fireplace, washed the pots and dishes in his backpack, came to the cud-chewing boss sheep, leaned on him, and called to the sick wolf, "Second brother, come here. Groom you."
The sick wolf immediately ran over and squatted on the straw mat.
Xia Qing quietly combed the hair of her two companions before going upstairs to sleep.
Tan Qi's words touched Xia Qing's memory. She dreamed of being hunted as food by her own kind in the safe zone.
