    Li: "I don't plan to sell it for now."

    Master Zhao had already guessed what she was thinking. It was hard to say what would happen to the locust in the end. He wanted to plan for the future at this pass. Who would sell food, so he didn't try to persuade her, and he moved sweet potato noodles from the car to her."Then we'll talk about it later."

    After talking about his affairs, he made up his baby face. Now the schedule of the patrol battalion has been adjusted. When operating at night, a few guards are left in the battalion during the day.to, so mint leaves are no longer needed during the day.

    Babyface came here this time to inform Li Xiaoxiao about it: "From now on, I will come every day and take away the apple salt and mint leaves at once, and the payment will be settled the next day."

    Li Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you charge more mint leaves?"

    The mint leaves can be picked twice a day. She picks them in the morning and stores them in a wooden box. It will not affect the state of the mint leaves, and they can still be used for twelve hours.

    Chen Mo: "Don't grow mint?"

    Li Xiaoxiao became uneasy instead: "What if what I said is wrong..."

    Chen Mo took her to the wooden box beside the farmland. Only Li Xiaoxiao could open this box, but he knew it was full of things, enough for them to eat for a long time.

    Li Xiaoxiao's uneasiness faded away, her expression became firm, yes, so what if they failed, they still hoarded so many sweet potato noodles, it's okay even if they failed, they have the capital to fail.

    The two did what they said. She changed the original corn field into a potato field, and Chen Mo brought a pile of iron branches, which were cut off before being burned in time. They crossed and inserted into the soil along the edge of the field to make a simple fence.The frogs and toads he caught were too big, so there was no need to worry about them escaping through the small gaps.

    The remaining group is used to grow fungus and onions.

    She searched around the farmland, but found only four frogs, toads and toads. They all ran away. She put the frogs in the potato field.The farmland on the left was transformed into a small pond, which was dug to a depth of 30 centimeters. It would not be afraid of drying out even in the sun for a day, and there was a sunshade net on it.

    In the new place, the frog has adapted well, jumping around in the potato seedlings, and also likes to soak in the pool of water.

    Seeing that they got used to it, Li Xiaoxiao ignored the frogs and planted soybeans in the last vacant field. Twenty soybean seedlings were not enough, so she added four mints to it.

    Chen Mo walked out: "I'll grab some more."

    She picked up the branches that Chen Mo was playing with, imitating his technique to surround the strawberry field and cabbages, and waited for Chen Mo to put the frogs he caught.

    Although Babyface is not a plague of locusts, there are a lot of locusts, and they keep jumping into her field, allowing her to experience the excitement of a traditional doomsday zombie siege.

    As soon as the grasshoppers came, the frogs started to eat the buffet, biting the grasshoppers and swallowing them. Li Xiao Xiao felt very comfortable, but the quantity was still small.

    Li Xiaoxiao: "No, I want to grow food, potatoes."

    Although mint can be sold for money and exchanged for food, it is equivalent to entrusting your life to others. What if you don’t need mint leaves? If you have money, you can’t buy food.It is Xingfu, she dare not do this, she must control the supply of food by herself.

    If it wasn't for this, why would she take huge risks to run the farm? Wouldn't it be better to stay in a safe city?

    Chen Mo immediately understood what she meant: "Indeed, potato seedlings are not as tall as corn, and when locusts appear, frogs can also prey on them."

    Potatoes are considered a staple food and have to be grown. Compared with corn, it is a better choice.

    "Yes," Li Xiaoxiao narrated her thoughts, "If the frogs are running around, I want to make a fence. It is too big to enclose this farmland. If only one group is enclosed, the amount of work will be much smaller and it will be easier to realize..”

    She scratched her head, and it was the first time she told others her thoughts like this. When she was at the base before, she was always on the side of obedience, and Chen Mo listened so seriously, which made her feel embarrassed, but because of Brother Mo's encouragementeyes, and continued.

    "I found that onions and fungus don't attract locusts, so you can grow more."

    Chen Mo nodded: "Just do as you say."

    Li Xiaoxiao joined the insect-catching brigade to stockpile food for her chickens.

    That night, Chen Mo ran back and forth to many places, rubbing mud all over his clothes, because he wanted to pick big, strong and low-radiation frogs, so he brought back twelve frogs and distributed them among the strawberry and raspberry fields, which was not enough at all., but only first.

    It was another night of fighting wits and courage with grasshoppers. Tonight she caught more grasshoppers than yesterday. She caught a total of six catties of grasshoppers. She didn't react at dawn, but was stopped by Chen Mo and told her to wash and sleep.

    Li Xiaoxiao went to feed the chickens with grasshoppers first, and came out to look at her farmland, worried that the crops would grow out, wondering whether the frogs would wait or not, did the grasshoppers really not eat soybeans?

    She went to sleep full of worries, woke up the next day and rushed out, saw Chen Mo standing by the edge of the farmland, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Mo Ge Mo, is the frog dead?"

    Chen Mo: "The frog didn't die, it got fatter."

    Chapter 29

    Gained weight?

    It's a lie, it's only one night, how much weight can you gain in such a short time?

    Li Xiaoxiao circled around the frog in disbelief, and looked at the round belly on the ground, which was jumping and unable to move, and she was silent.

    If the belly was bigger, she would be afraid that the frog would be strangled to death by the grasshopper.

    "It... can it turn over by itself if it falls over?"

    Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask how much she ate, but the frog was really curious, she stretched out her hand ready to move, but was held by Chen Mo.

    "Don't toss them."

    Li Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand regretfully. She scared a grasshopper. The latter jumped onto the frog's forehead and output on the face.

    "That won't work," she said, catching the grasshoppers. "The number of frogs is still a little low, and the grasshoppers can't be eaten up. Brother Mo, go and catch a few more."

    Babyface explained a few more words, and left some mint leaves for Qiang Zi's team to share with her.

    Yes, she can make a phone call, but remembering that the baby face said that it was used to call for help in times of danger, after thinking about it, she decided not to call, and she could still wait for one more night.

    When Babyface came the next day, she mentioned the incident, and Babyface replied, "Actually, it's okay if you call, but there is only one operator in the patrol battalion, so try to call in an emergency."

    Li Xiaoxiao understood what he meant, the line would be busy when she called, and if someone was in danger, they might not be able to rescue them in time, remembering this, she asked about the bullfrog.

    The baby face raised his spirits: "I was just about to say that the city next door really has farming and is willing to exchange it with us. Thanks to your salt, otherwise we might not be able to exchange it, but the price is a little bit expensive. Nine catties of sweet potato noodles are exchanged.A catty, an adult bullfrog weighs about half a catty, how many do you plan to replace?"

    Li Xiaoxiao asked, "I can change as many as I want?"

    Li Xiaoxiao was a little flustered.

    One hundred and fifty-six pieces of farmland, the materials needed were hoarded by her enduring the extreme heat and mosquitoes, and her toes hurt for several days because of this. If something went wrong, it would be a small matter if my mentality collapsed, and it would affect the food and hungerThat's the big deal.

    But she knew that the more it was like this, the more calm she had to be.

    Li Xiaoxiao carefully observed the problematic farmland. The location was closest to the container, and the number was ten. She had a flash of inspiration, and said that the original farmland was exactly ten, and it was these problematic farmlands.

    Why this ten yuan?

    The only difference between these farmlands is the construction time, but what will this affect? Farmland has a deadline?Or... not enough fat?

    The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was like this. She had never farmed before, but she still had common sense. It grows fast, consumes a lot of fertility, and doesn't replenish it all the time.

    Li Xiaoxiao stretched her eyebrows, took out the gray fertilizer from the wooden box next to the farmland, and poured it on the whitish farmland bit by bit. As she thought, it was indeed lack of fertilizer. When the color of the land returned to normal, sheJust don't pour it again, too much is too much, too much ash and fertilizer will easily burn the seedlings.

    At this time, there was a sound of brakes on the road outside the farm. She looked up and saw the large truck from yesterday. Brother Bing was jumping off it, and she couldn't help but asked in surprise, "So early?"

    Li Xiaoxiao quickly stood up: "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you to come so soon, and the mints haven't been picked yet."

    The patrol team came back late last night, and she thought she would take a rest in the morning, and planned to finish the work on the farm first, and then went to pick mint leaves.

    Qiang Zi reassured: "It's okay, it's okay, the thirty of us only need thirty pieces, and we can pick them ourselves."

    Thirty pieces were picked quickly, she relaxed, fortunately, he didn't delay the soldier's business, of course it was impossible for him to do it himself, so she picked thirty mint leaves.

    The captain of the patrol team took it, and after confirming with Li Xiaoxiao that it was correct, he recorded a number and distributed it to his team members.

    Qiang Zi looked at the extra rabbit house next to the container and said, "Have you raised rabbits? It just happened that I fed them before, so I'll chat with you about my experience."

    Li Xiaoxiao was worrying about this, when she heard this, she immediately cheered up: "How do you raise it?"

    Qiang Zi told her one by one: "Rabbits are delicate and easily frightened. Try not to disturb them except when they are feeding. Their stomachs are more delicate. The grass to be fed must be dried in the sun and water should not be taken, otherwise it will cause diarrhea.Keep dry and ventilated."

    She immediately began to recall that the dried grass fed to the rabbit yesterday would not be dry. The rabbit would be fine if it ate it.

    "Do you have lettuce on your farm? It's best for rabbits."

    lettuce?What do you look like?

    Qiang Zi understood her expression immediately: "The lettuce is prickly, the stems are thick, and the leaves are relatively narrow... Forget it, when I go back at night, I'll go to the Quartermaster Station and ask if I can replace some seeds."

    Li Xiaoxiao said happily: "That's kind, I can exchange it with mint seeds."

    Qiang Zi was taken aback, and said strangely: "Aren't you afraid that we will run away?"

    The captain who distributed the mint leaves all looked over.

    Li Xiaoxiao said casually: "Don't be afraid, if the country takes the lead, more people will definitely use Mint."

    What is the reason for the patrol to go out early and return late?It's not for their safety, if she wants to kill more mutant creatures quickly, why can't she help them, besides...

    She said cunningly: "Even if there are peppermint seeds, it will take time to grow them and expand them. There are so many people in the base, and they all want to use them. It's a big project, and even if the whole base is available, there is still the whole country. What am I worried about?"

    Appreciation flickered across the captain's eyes, this girl is big enough, she is not a short-sighted person.

    Qiang Zi boasted: "You are still smart."

    The captain shouted: "Form up, go—"

    Qiang Zi turned around: "I'll tell you about raising rabbits when I come back."

    Li Xiaoxiao felt that the other party's tone was more intimate, and she felt warm and happy in her heart. She rubbed her cheeks, turned around and picked off the ripe peppers. After picking the peppers, the pepper plants did not wither as before, but continued to stay bright green.After thinking about it, she didn't unplug it.

    Both strawberries and fungus are growing well. The leaves of strawberry seedlings are scattered, and the fungus slices have grown a lot.

    She took a rough look and started picking mint leaves. Since Qiang Zi and the others went into the mountain, the other patrol teams probably set off as well, so they had to get things ready first so as not to delay Brother Bing's business.

    The farmland is really a sharp weapon. The leaves that were just picked off yesterday will grow out today, but they are also heavily fertilized. They were only planted a few days later in the evening, but the soil has already turned white, and they need to be supplemented with fertilizer.

    Li Xiaoxiao hoarded two grids full of gray fertilizer and used half of it. Thinking of the bamboo branches cut down last night, she ran to the pit to see that it was almost sun-dried.

    The sky is gloomy, and it may rain today. The bamboo branch will not be burned, and it will probably be wet by the rain.She can put the iron belt and gray fertilizer into the backpack together, saving time and effort by not having to pull it hard.

    Even if there is no lettuce, Master Rabbit still needs to eat today. She is worried that there will be water on the grass yesterday, and her rabbit will have a stomachache after eating it.

    She took the water and walked quickly to the rabbit house. First, she looked around, but she didn't see the rabbit at first glance, which shocked her. She almost thought the rabbit was lost, and then found a hole in the ground near the container.

    The Rabbit Hole...and this is it?

    It doesn't matter if you put it on, it's cold in the ground, so just stay in the ground.

    Li Xiaoxiao has a deep understanding of this, she wants to lie down at the entrance of the rabbit hole and take a look, thinking of Qiang Zi saying that rabbits are timid, restrained her thoughts, picked up the trough, and poured out the water left over from yesterday.

    It is said to be a food trough, but it is actually a cement bucket made of beef tendon. This material is particularly tough and strong, so there is no need to be afraid of being bitten by rabbits.

    She added new water to the trough, if Qiang Zi hadn't said that the rabbit house should be kept dry, she would have wanted to pour water on the ground to cool down, but Qiang Zi told her this.

    When Li Xiaoxiao heard the calls from the rabbit hole, she was very angry, so she left at ease. She planned to hunt the rabbit grass, and when she left, she took out the grass that the rabbit didn't eat, and threw it into the leftover sparks.

    Qiang Zi said that the grass to be fed must be dry, and no water should be taken. It is going to rain, and she wants to stock up more rabbit grass before it rains.

    She looked at the grass that was thrown in yesterday, and the rabbits ate most of it was a kind of purple plant with long, tooth-like leaves. She saw a lot of them behind the container, so she raised them and kept cutting the leaves every day.

    When she passed by Chen Mo, she found that he had already made the prototype of the bathroom. The moso bamboos were neatly arranged together without any nails or glue. How did they stick together so smooth?

    She looked left and right, but she found out.

    It turned out that Chen Mo punched holes in the head and tail of the moso bamboo, and then aligned the holes, and then inserted them with long bamboo slices, but wouldn't they spread apart?

    Li Xiaoxiao walked to the end and found that at the first moso bamboo, the piece of paper passing through the hole was inserted and fixed by a bamboo board, no wonder the moso bamboo would not move.

    How did you come up with that? It's amazing.

    According to Brother Mo's progress, she should be able to use the bathroom at night. She has a separate space, and she can barely take a bath with a basin, which is much more comfortable than scrubbing.

    Li Xiaoxiao imagined that scene, and suddenly her body was so itchy that she wanted to soak it right away. She resisted to cut the grass that rabbits like to eat, and when it was exposed to the edge of the iron sheet, the fire had long been extinguished, but the iron sheet was still very hot.The temperature is also higher than elsewhere, and the grass dries faster.

    Originally, after these things were done, she was going to cut the reeds, but the stream was too far to go, so she changed to weeding. There were too many kinds of grasses, and she couldn't pull them all out.

    It wasn't until noon that Brother Mo called her to eat, and Li Xiaoxiao realized that after one morning, the area she had pulled out was only 30 square meters.

    With chili and cabbage, Chen Mo fried a spicy cabbage.

    She has tested the chili peppers a long time ago. If it is as she imagined, the radiation value will drop significantly, from 300 to 43, which is within the safe range and can be eaten with confidence.

    The taste of cabbage is crisp and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and a little bit of spicy taste. It is especially appetizing when the mouth is weak on a hot day, making people salivate.

    Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly stuffed a large chopsticks into her mouth, feeling vaguely: "This is life."

    Chen Mo heard her seven-year-old and eighty-year-old words, and then looked at that tender face.

    Li Xiaoxiao was young, even though she had suffered a lot, she came back after taking good care of her for a while, even if she was basking in the sun all day, she was still a little fairer, not white, it should be said that her complexion was no longer sallow, but healthyluster.

    Chen Mo said: "It will be better in the future."

    Li Xiaoxiao deeply agreed: "It will definitely."

    After eating, it is time to rest. She likes to lie under the big banyan tree most. This tree is more than 20 meters high and the canopy is 10 meters wide.The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and even under the cool shade of trees, she felt extremely hot and stuffy.

    "It's good to be able to soak in the water."

    That's what she said, and she knew it was impossible. Although it was not good in the water, it was not a problem underground. She had lived there for many years.
