Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 245: A Good Guardian

"No need, just wear one of mine!" Ji Kangyong stopped Shen Yanming and said.

Shen Yanming rolled his eyes at Ji Kangyong, "The jacket is ok, but do you want me to wear your pants?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Kangyong chuckled, "I don't mind, but you?"

"I mind!" Shen Yanming smiled and pushed Ji Kangyong away, then went home to change clothes.

After Shen Yanming left, Ji Kangyong went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

The moment Shen Yanming opened the door, Bi Qiaoan threw off the quilt and got out of bed, ran over to hug Shen Yanming and asked, "Have you found out?"

"Yes, but I have to go to the field to move the chicken coop back. I'll tell you in detail when I come back." Shen Yanming said with a smile.

"Oh, it's quite cold outside, but where should we put the chicken coop after we move it back?"

"There's a tray under the chicken coop at Ji Kangyong's house, so it's quite convenient to clean up the excrement. If you keep the air ventilated, there shouldn't be any problem."

Bi Qiaoan nodded after hearing this, "Well, then can you bring those two geese back?"

"Um?"

"Anyway, we have cages at home, so we can keep the two geese separately. After the winter, we can let the older geese out for some fresh air."

Shen Yanming thought about it and felt that it was feasible, "Okay, I'll bring the two geese back when I come back."

"Okay, then I'll go assemble a cage!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.

Shen Yanming nodded, “If you don’t want to move, just wait until I come back and pretend.”

"No, it's not a strenuous job."

After Bi Qiaoan finished speaking, he went to the storage room, dragged out an unassembled chicken coop, thought about it, and put it in the room where the mushrooms were originally grown.

After Bi Qiaoan left, Shen Yanming took out thermal clothes and thermal pants from the closet and put them on, then put on his coat and trousers, and finally put on his raincoat and gloves, and took the elevator down to the ninth floor.

Ji Kangyong was already waiting for him in the building. When he saw the elevator door open, he walked in with a smile.

The two of them went to Qingning Mountain on foot because it was raining outside and the ice on the ground was a little thick, so it would be easy to slip if they drove, so it would be safer to walk.

It took Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong one or two times longer than usual to reach their own fields.

Shen Yanming's eyes fell on the small seedlings in the field. He frowned slightly and said, "I wonder if these wheat and vegetable seedlings can survive."

Ji Kangyong was also worried about these wilted seedlings. After thinking for a while, he said, "Cover them with a blanket!"

"Huh?" Shen Yanming looked towards Ji Kangyong, but missed his figure and saw the pile of corn stalks in the corner.

“Yes, just cover them lightly. It will keep them warm without damaging them.” Shen Yanming said.

Ji Kangyong nodded, and the two of them moved the corn stalks from the corner and laid them on the vegetable and wheat seedlings one by one.

It took two hours to finish paving the whole thing.

The two looked at the fields that were no longer green and couldn't help but chuckle, "Luckily Zhang Heping was lazy and didn't want to drag the corn stalks out and throw them away, otherwise we would have been in a mess today."

"That guy is quite useful sometimes. What did he say at that time? He wanted to donate it to the Qinghe Alliance for composting, right?"

"Yeah, he's obviously just being lazy and making excuses for himself, otherwise he wouldn't have let them pile up here for so long."

"Haha, that kid did a good thing! It's getting late, let's move the chicken coop and go home."

"become!"

The two of them didn't say anything more. They each moved one side and walked home.

By the time I got home and put the chicken coop in place, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

Ji Kangyong patted Shen Yanming's shoulder through his raincoat, "Okay, I'll take care of the rest, you can go home and rest!"

"That won't work. My Qiao An asked me to take the two geese back to entertain her." Shen Yanming said with a smile.

"Qiao An raises geese?" Ji Kangyong asked in disbelief, "Doesn't she dislike raising these things?"

"No, she's just too lazy to deal with the feces. I'll just change the tray more often in the future."

Seeing this, Ji Kangyong said no more, opened the skylight of the chicken coop, and let Shen Yanming reach in to catch the goose.

The geese were so fierce. Even though Shen Yanming had fed them so many times, they still had no respect for their owner and stretched their necks to peck at Shen Yanming's hands.

Luckily he dodged quickly, otherwise...

Shen Yanming finally caught one of the geese by the neck, then he tied its wings behind its back and handed it to Ji Kangyong.

"Please help me, I can't catch it by myself."

Ji Kangyong nodded and reached out to take the screaming goose from Shen Yanming.

Seeing that Ji Kangyong had held it firmly, Shen Yanming reached out and caught the second one.

"Oh my, this guy is really strong!" Ji Kangyong had to be careful even when he was catching the goose with both hands. The guy struggled so hard that it would easily slip out of his hands if he wasn't careful.

Chen Yanming held the goose with one hand and quickly closed the chicken coop with the other hand, "Of course not. Isn't there a saying that goes 'I'd rather be bitten by a dog than twisted by a goose'? When a goose gets angry, even a dog can't beat it!"

"Oh, if they understand human nature, they can be good at guarding the house!"

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Yes, it was because she heard about this that Qiao An insisted on feeding these two geese."

Ji Kangyong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Then I wish Qiao An success!"

Obviously Ji Kangyong didn't believe Bi Qiaoan could do it, but Shen Yanming didn't care and took Ji Kangyong home.

When he opened the door, he found the house was dark. It seemed that it was too late and Qiao An had already fallen asleep.

The two turned on the lights and walked lightly. After putting the goose into the cage, Ji Kangyong gestured with his mouth, "I'm going home first."

Shen Yanming nodded and sent Ji Kangyong to the door. After he left, he went to the bathroom to change his raincoat, washed up and changed into pajamas before entering the bedroom.

The dim wall lamp in the bedroom was on, shining on Bi Qiaoan's sleeping face, adding a touch of hazy beauty to her.

Shen Yanming climbed onto the bed quietly, then reached out and held Bi Qiaoan in his arms.

"You're back?" Bi Qiaoan muttered the moment he was hugged.

"Well, go to sleep!" Shen Yanming patted Bi Qiaoan's back gently.

He knew that Bi Qiaoan was not awake at all, she was just used to Shen Yanming's embrace, so she said that reflexively.

However, after nestling in Shen Yanming's arms, Bi Qiaoan slept more soundly. She seemed to have had a beautiful dream, with a faint smile on her face.

When Ji Kangyong returned home, he felt uncomfortable facing the deserted room and messy footprints.

Maybe Shen Yanming is right, it's time to find a partner.

He changed his raincoat, washed up, and then cleaned up the footprints from the living room to the bedroom. It was already past midnight when he finished cleaning up.

It should have been time for a deep sleep, but the disturbed heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Then, he lost sleep...
