When the investigation team reached the northern isolation zone, Xia Qing walked out of the territory and handed Tan Junjie a folded note. There was only one sentence on the note: At 12:20, Qian Lin of the Sufeng team passed through the northern isolation zone of Territory 3 from west to east.

Tan Junjie put away the note and continued patrolling without asking any further questions.

Investigation team member Huzi stopped and discussed with Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, can I buy two pumpkins? I want to make the kind of dried pumpkins mentioned in No. 5 Territory."

Compared with other crops, the yield of pumpkin is quite gratifying. After the third rain, Xia Qing only had seven yellow pumpkins and five green pumpkins left, but each pumpkin could bear about ten melons. The big ones weighed more than twenty kilograms, and the small ones weighed five or six. catty.

Most of the grown pumpkins were put into the vegetable storage room by Xia Qing, while a small number of yellow lantern pumpkins were sold to Zhong Tao or the Beard Feng team. If Huzi wanted to buy it, Xia Qing would certainly not sell it. She immediately went back and picked two large pumpkins from the vegetable greenhouse south of the reservoir and gave them to Huzi.

Huzi took the pumpkin and asked casually, "Sister Qing wants to enclose the territory?"

Xia Qing mentioned the fence in the lord channel, and it aroused everyone's active discussion. This is no secret, "I earned some points by selling fish, and I plan to hire someone to cut down trees and build a fence after the autumn harvest. "

Huzi didn't dare to stare at Xia Qing's pale face, and turned to look at the trees around him, "It's much safer to be penned in, and it can also prevent your sheep from running out. But your territory is so big, you only cut down the trees in the buffer forest. Not enough?"

The circumference of the No. 3 territory is about nine kilometers. It is indeed impossible for Xia Qing to cut down the buffer forest in order to encircle the fence. "I plan to use thorny trees and shrubs as much as possible. I will use a few trees in the territory, and then use them from nearby Pick and chop some in the evolutionary forest.”

"There are many evolved thorny shrubs on Mount No. 51. When Sister Qing is free, I can take you there to take a look." Huzi was afraid that Xia Qing would refuse, so he added, "I haven't taken my vacation this year yet. , I’m free after the autumn harvest.”

Last time, he wanted to ask Xia Qing to collect green pine nuts, but due to urgent transfer orders, he didn't have time to make the trip. So Huzi seized this opportunity again and wanted to spend more time with Xia Qing.

Xia Qing had already seen Huzi's thoughts, and of course he would not go with him alone, "You are talking about the patch of trees on the hillside of No. 51 Mountain near the territory, right? I went to see it, and it can indeed be found. Use it. I will start chopping after the autumn harvest. If you are free then, come over with Brother Qi, Shi Du and Guan Tong to help. You will earn fifteen points a day regardless of food."

"Okay, Sister Qing will call me when the time comes." Huzi's heart was up and down with Xia Qing's words, and he hugged the two big pumpkins and chased his captain.

After Huzi left, Xia Qing picked a grown green pumpkin from the terraces and went home. She decided to eat pumpkin braised noodles for lunch today. The remaining pumpkin was sliced, dried and steamed according to Yuan Yan's method to make dried pumpkin.

When Xia Qing returned home, the sick wolf, which was lying under the eaves basking in the sun, raised its head and wagged its tail to express its joy. This action was getting more and more doggy.

The little swallows standing on the eaves of the corridor, which had not yet started their migration, were chattering. I wonder if they were discussing whether the guy lying below was a wolf or a dog.

"I'm back. Are you feeling better?" Xia Qing said hello and held up the big pumpkin to show the sick wolf, "Look, this is a pumpkin. I'm going to eat pumpkin noodles for lunch today, and you can cook pumpkin and noodles in noodle soup." Dried meat, how about it?”

The sick wolf stood up and stretched, came over, smelled the pumpkin in Xia Qing's hand, and stuck out his tongue, hahaha. Xia Qing rubbed its head, went to the chicken coop and found two eggs. He decided to add a poached egg at noon today, and asked Hu Feng to take the other one back to Territory No. 1 to replenish Luo Pei's health.

Now she can pick up two eggs a day, and she can save enough in five days by exchanging eggs for green light soybeans with Territory No. 9. There was no rush to save the eggs for the oil press in exchange with Tang Huai, because the corn and sunflower seeds had not been harvested yet, and there was no way to extract oil after the exchange.

Xia Qing has obtained an oil press today. One of these is enough. She plans to sell Tang Huai's one to her ally, Territory No. 5.

In the afternoon, after Xia Qing finished picking the blooming cotton in the cotton shed, she carried her bag and came to the cotton shed. Tang Huai told her to be careful. Xia Qing thought he might have discovered or sensed something, so he decided to check for hidden dangers in the territory.

Cotton that can release flammable gases is the first dangerous area to be dealt with.

Xia Qing first picked the black cotton that had bloomed, put it into a bag, drained the air and stored it in a sealed bag, and then sold the cotton when Zhong Tao came over.

The cotton produced from the evolved cotton plants can only be sold for four points per pound, which is one-fifteenth of the price of pure white cotton. The price really makes people less motivated. In addition, there is a risk of fire caused by cotton blooming. Xia Qing decided to directly dry the cotton plants next year and use them as firewood.

After picking cotton, Xia Qing contacted Territory No. 4 through the intercom, "Brother Zhao, are you there?"

It was Zhao's mother who responded to Xia Qing, "Xia Qing, Zhao Ze is working in the fields. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

Xia Qing asked, "Are you free now?"

Mother Zhao immediately replied, "Yes. Shall I wait for you by the river?"

"Okay." Xia Qing agreed.

From the meeting place chosen by Zhao's mother, we knew that Zhao's mother was much more observant than her son, and knew that communicating with Xia Qing should stay away from the No. 2 territory. Communicating by the river not only kept them away from Territory No. 2, but the sound of the water could also cover up their conversation.

Zhao's mother is not only more observant than Zhao Ze, but also sharper than him. When Xia Qing walked through the grass wall and arrived at the agreed place, she found that Zhao's mother was already standing by the water waiting for her.

Mother Zhao was not wearing a protective mask, and the scar left by a poisonous insect bite on her left face under her short hair was very obvious. Xia Qing also took off her protective mask and hung it around her waist, and quickly greeted her, "Aunt Zhao."

Mother Zhao was very surprised when she saw Xia Qing's face, "Qing, I see your face looks much better. Is this the poison that has been cured?"

Xia Qing nodded, "My third brother and I exchanged antidote medicine, and the effect is quite good. Auntie, you can ask third brother, there should be a way to remove the scar on your face."

"I'll ask after I harvest the crops and have points in my hand." Zhao's mother bent down, took out a bag of sealed and compressed dried wild vegetables from the basket beside her, and handed it to Xia Qing, "This is the green light horsetail." , it should last for several months. When eating, soak it in water, chop it into pieces, and make meat buns to eat.”

The price of dried green lantern wild vegetables is not cheap. Just as Xia Qing was about to refuse, Mother Zhao stuffed the wild vegetables into her hands. "We caught a lot of fish because of you a few days ago. This is just a little thought, and it's all my own." It's exposed. Don't push me. I can't push you with just one hand."

Zhao's mother was attacked by poisonous insects, which not only left a scar on her face, but also lost her left arm.
