Chapter 86

The cornfield is located right next to the villa area and high-rise buildings.

This was originally a green area in the community, planted with bamboos, making it very elegant.

The bamboos are long gone now, and the places where they were originally grown are now used to grow corn.

After all, the original design of the community was not farmland, and this place used to be a villa, so naturally it had to pay attention to some aesthetics, so the land was not square.

Because the community leaders remembered Chen Cong's previous suggestion to plant on a small scale, there was no deliberate expansion of the area. (It was not possible to expand it, as there were two adjacent villas not far away.)

Instead, it is divided into five small pieces along the original terrain, and the area of ​​each piece is different, some are big and some are small.

But if you add them all together, you have more than two acres of land.

This piece of land is the largest arable land in the entire community.

When Chen Cong and his friends went there, they saw a row of fences that had been erected near the outside of the cornfield. The fences were made of the bamboo that was originally planted there.

It can be said that this fence has been woven with great care. The gap in the middle is very small, and from a distance it looks almost like a layer of bamboo mat.

But in reality, she knew this was far from enough.

Because the fences were not high enough to cover the top of the cornfield.

And because of the formation, the corn here is growing very well. Many of them have already earred and it won’t be long before they mature.

Such fruits are fatally attractive to insects.

Of course, Lao Cao and the others knew that just building a fence like this would not be of much use when the insect swarm came, but what else could they do?

They have done their best.

So after bringing the Shen family here, neither of the two captains asked a question like "What do you think?" Instead, they repeatedly asked how the people in the city dealt with this situation?

"I can't buy a net anywhere! Now I can't even buy one in the city, let alone in town! People around me are so worried."

Shi Lei sighed: "Our community is fine. Most of our residents grow vegetables in wooden boxes or pottery pots in the yard or on the walkways. Some people even vacate houses facing the sun to grow food at home.

In this case, our community does not need to be unified in how to avoid insects, the residents will find ways themselves.

We have discussed this with the comrades in the working group. If it really doesn’t work, we should just grit our teeth and give up this corn field. What else can we do?”

At this point, Shi Lei and Cao Hongmin couldn't help but sigh.

It’s so difficult to grow crops now!

Even with the support of the formation, where is the water?

Isn’t every drop of water used to irrigate the fields saved from everyone’s mouths?

If they really have to give up, no one will be willing.

Chen Cong walked along the cornfield, calculated in his mind, and asked: "How much unused metal is there in our community now?"

Shi Lei and Lao Cao were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes lit up at the same time!

They all knew that Chen Cong had also awakened his superpowers, and they were gold-related superpowers!

Although I haven't seen it before, since you asked here, there must be a solution!

"Yes! We have as many as you want. If it's not enough, we can just dismantle the windows and doors to make up the gap!" Shi Lei said firmly.

Shen Chong burst out laughing.

"That's not necessary. Please help me move everything you can find now, and I'll try to put a net on it." She said, pointing above the cornfield.

Shi Lei, Lao Cao: “……!!!”

The two of them didn't even say a word, and didn't even bother to be polite to the Shen family. They just nodded at the same time and turned around and left.

I even forgot to say hello.

Watching the two men leave, Shen's mother Cheng Ru couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Cong Chong, are you serious? You want to put a net on such a large area?

That would tire people to death!"

Chen Xi was also shocked: "Don't be so stubborn. Even if the corn on this field can't be saved, it won't hurt the foundation of our community. Don't joke with your body!"

Mr. Gu and Shi Chen knew Chen Cong's ability, and they also knew that even if they built a roof over the land, Chen Cong would not be hurt with his current ability.

But it will definitely take a lot of time.

"Auntie Shen, why don't you come after dinner? The afternoon is long, if you can't make it, let's stay up all night together." Shi Chen suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's eat. Let's go home and eat first." Cheng Ru immediately agreed.

Father Shen also nodded in agreement.

Then he did not forget to pull his son-in-law to form a united front: "Xiao Kai, persuade her and don't let her be stubborn."

What Mr. Shen didn't expect was that his son-in-law, who always listened to him, did not do as he wished this time, but walked around the land like his daughter.

Unlike Shen Cong, he turned more seriously.

And after taking only two steps, he waved his hand and called Cancan over.

No one knew what the big and small were talking about, but from a distance he could see Cancan nodding at him sensibly.

Gu Kai turned quickly and came back with the little girl a few minutes later.

Then he said to everyone, "Mom, Dad, sister, don't stay here in the sun, go back first.

I will finish this job with Congcong and go back. It won’t take too long, don’t worry. It won’t delay us from going back for dinner.”

He said it lightly, but who would believe it? !

This boss has a piece of land!

Even Chen Cong looked at him with a bit of surprise.

"No need, the food is almost ready. We are not afraid of the heat, we will watch here." Shen Jianyi expressed his attitude at the first time.

The others naturally all nodded heavily.

Seeing that everyone insisted, Gu Kai stopped persuading them and just said, "Go stand in the shade by the wall, don't get a heat stroke."

Then he pulled Chen Cong aside to discuss cooperation with her.

"I just checked. You can pull the wire from these locations and then pull a grid on the top. The grid doesn't need to be too small. Keep this distance."

As he spoke, he picked up a branch from the ground and started drawing on the ground.

"Isn't this too wide? What's the point of being so wide?" Chen Cong shook his head disapprovingly.

"Have you forgotten the seeds that Meng Chao sent me? The castor seeds?" Gu Kai reminded.

"Are you going to plant castor beans nearby?" Chen Cong suddenly realized.

“Yes, Cancan and I will bury the seeds first, and when you have put up the net, we will start raising the seedlings.

The seeds Meng Chao sent this time were the ones they had cultivated again. They had more thorns and a strange smell. He said they had tested it and found that many insects avoided it after planting it.

At this point, Gu Kai sighed: "The main reason is that there are too few seeds, and there has been no experiment before.

It is impossible for me to stay in one place and wait for the insects to come and stimulate them, so I cannot plant in advance.

Otherwise, if you plant them early, they might be of some use.”

When he said that, Chen Cong understood.

After all, no one knows when the bugs will come.

I wrapped up the experimental fields early, what if the insects don’t come in the near future?

Not only is it laborious and time-consuming, it also delays the growth of plants and is a thankless task.

So it really can’t be done in advance.

"Then let's try it in the community! It's a good time while we're all at home. Even if the insects don't come, at worst you can promote growth before you leave and let them produce seeds directly. We can just save them for seeds." Chen Cong made a prompt decision.

Shi Lei and Lao Cao worked quickly and soon brought over two or three wheeled carts of steel.

Chen Cong took a look and saw that they were all fitness equipment dismantled from the community.

Lao Cao looked at her and rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "Xiao Shen, are these things okay? Iron wire and the like are too hard to find."

Chen Cong waved his hand: "Okay, don't bother, these are good enough."

After hearing this, Lao Cao was very excited: "Is that enough? If not, there's more!"

How could Chen Cong possibly let him actually remove the windows and doors?

He nodded quickly: "That's enough, that's enough."

If we were to weave a dense net like Fulin's, it would definitely not be enough. But if we did it the way my husband did, it would not be a big deal at all. These metals would be enough.

And the speed is not too slow. With her level of proficiency, she won't be late for going home for lunch.

Thinking of this, Shen Cong looked at her husband with amusement.

Lao Cao and Shi Lei didn't know whether people could watch when Chen Cong used his supernatural powers, but they were really too curious. It was a rare opportunity like this, so how could they bear to leave?

The two of them took a few steps back, trying to stand where they would not be in the way, then held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Chen Cong.

But in fact, Chen Cong didn't feel anything. It was just that she had spent too much time weaving webs recently and had already gotten used to other people's attention.

Lao Cao and Shi Lei were standing aside when they saw Chen Cong casually pick up a ring of a fitness equipment and pull it apart.

Then he casually rubbed it with both hands, and the ring turned into a hollow iron rod.

The two people were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.

The iron ring that Chen Cong had been playing with like plasticine was more than three fingers wide, and it had not been broken even by the earthquake. But now she was pulling it longer and longer like noodles, and it became thinner and thinner...

Soon it rolled up into a roll and became like a thick wire.

Even though they knew Chen Cong had superpowers, seeing it with their own eyes still shocked them so much that their worldviews were shattered. They were completely unable to describe their astonishment in words.

Of course, they were not the only ones who felt shocked.

Not to mention the people from the Shen family, several residents of the community who had come with the two team leaders to deliver the scrap metal were also standing nearby, and were also too shocked to speak.

The sinking speed is very fast.

She was very skilled in this, and in less than half an hour she had turned all the scrap iron on a tricycle into thick iron wires.

Then she didn't even ask for help from others. She walked to the edge of the cornfield with the wire in her hand, and then used the fence and wall as fulcrums to weave a net above the land.

When she was pulling the wire before, she at least used both hands to help, but in order to save time, Chen Cong did not weave the wire into a net below and then fix it on, but did it directly in the air in a tic-tac-toe cross pattern.

Everyone standing on the side thought they were dreaming.

Because they did not see any gurgling movement at all, they only saw the iron wires that had just been pulled out, as if they had their own consciousness, and they moved quickly to weave themselves into a web.

That’s not all, they can even fix themselves to the wall!

Such a scene had definitely never been seen by adults or children alike, and the scene was extremely quiet.

No matter whether it was people who were there before or people who rushed over after hearing the news, they were all dazzled and looked at this rare spectacle in a trance.

It just felt like I was watching a science fiction movie.

Tongtong didn't know when he had run to his aunt's side.

Maybe he was too shocked, the little fellow looked at Chenchong with admiration in his eyes.

He quietly reached out his hand and held one of Chen Cong's fingers.

Although this kind of work is already done well, the area of ​​this land is not small after all.

After all the operations, a little bit of sweat appeared on Chencong's forehead.

She had one hand in her pocket, but her fingers were actually placed on the array disk. By the end of the weaving, she needed to absorb mental power on the spot in order to maintain continuous output.

His fingers were suddenly held by his little nephew, and Shen Cong looked down at him.

Looking at Tongtong's big eyes, which were clearly black and white, shining and full of excitement, Shen Cong's heart moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he reached out and touched his head.

Said, "Go, bring that iron rod here."

The iron rod she was pointing at was actually a pedal on the fitness machine, which seven-year-old Tongtong could not lift at all.

But after hearing Chen Cong's words, the little guy nodded without hesitation, said "hmm", and ran to the tricycle and dragged it out.

There were two smaller iron blocks on the pedals, and Tongtong was not tall enough to remove the iron blocks on the car and take out the things he wanted.

Seeing such a small person moving things, Lao Cao immediately wanted to help, but was stopped by Shi Lei, who pointed to the side.

Only then did Lao Cao see that Gu Kai, Cancan and Shi Chen were standing next to the tricycle. However, when they saw the fat boy Tongtong struggling to pull the pedals, no one came forward to help.

He also stopped moving.

Tongtong didn't know what the adults were thinking. His aunt gave him a task, which made him very proud and have a sense of mission.

He tried very hard to pull the pedal out, but finally stopped when he couldn't move it any further.

He turned his head to look at his aunt. Shen Cong had already continued to work and didn't even glance at the work his nephew was doing.

Tongtong looked at his uncle standing aside and found that his uncle just gave him an encouraging look but had no intention of coming forward to help.

The little guy stood there and thought about it.

His expression turned serious.

Tongtong stopped trying to drag it out. He put both hands on the pedal at the same time and pulled it to both sides like his aunt.

Naturally, he couldn't be as casual and indifferent as Chen Cong.

The young man's face soon turned red, and his entire expression and attitude made it clear that he had used a lot of force to pull it out.

But even so, people still watched the iron thing getting longer and longer as he moved, and slowly it really turned into a long and thin iron rod.

In the end, even the pedal that was stuck by other iron blocks was pulled into a thin iron rod by Tongtong's hands. The pedal, which was originally only more than one meter long, was pulled by him to two or three meters long!

After pulling the last bit of the iron rod out of the tricycle, Tongtong couldn't help but cheered "Oh".

He wiped the sweat off his face and raised his eyes happily.

Gu Kai and Shi Chen gave him a thumbs up without hesitation, and Cancan also clapped his hands happily.

The little guy raised his neck proudly and turned to look at his aunt.

Chen Cong nodded at him approvingly, then pointed to his side. Tongtong ran over with an iron rod that was much taller than him.

After he got there, he didn't need Chen Cong's instructions, and just imitated her previous movements, continuing to stretch and thin that thing...

Although his movements were still a little clumsy, everyone could see that his supernatural powers had been activated!

Chen Xi stood far away, and because she was afraid that her loud movements would disturb the child, she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

But he couldn't hide the smile on his face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

She had been looking forward to this day for too long.

Tongtong was very excited to be able to help his aunt.

But he didn't help for long, Chen Cong had already finished the work.

"Okay, let your uncle and the others do the rest. Let's go take a break."

Chen Cong fixed the last wire, bent down and picked up his little nephew.

While no one was paying attention, he stuffed a piece of chocolate that he had taken out earlier into his mouth.

Tongtong felt tired only after being picked up by his aunt. He then discovered that his arms were sore and his fingers seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.

But the little guy was very strong. He said nothing and just hugged his aunt's neck tightly.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xi hurried over, took his son over, and kissed his little face hard!

"Tongtong, you're awesome! You're amazing!"

Chen Xi no longer knew how to express her excitement, so she could only hug her son tighter.

"I will be even better!" Tongtong said seriously in her mother's arms.

Shanshan looked at her brother and put her fingers into her mouth again, her eyes full of envy and desire.

Shen Cong walked back to her husband.

Gu Kai reached out and touched her hand, feeling it was warm, and he felt relieved.

"You go and rest for a while, we'll come over here." He said softly.

Shen Cong nodded, but did not leave. Instead, he stood beside him.

Just now, while waiting for Lao Cao and the others, Gu Kai and Cancan had already scattered some seeds outside the fence.

But because Shen Chong pulled the net and set up some supports, they needed to add some more.

So he and Cancan walked back to the field.

The two of them work very well together.

First, Cancan sprayed water on the place where the seeds had been sown before, and then she and Gu Kai walked along the edge of the field again, one sowing seeds and the other sprinkling water.

This process didn't take much time and was much faster than Chen Cong pulling the wire, and her movements were not as shocking.

But none of the onlookers left, their eyes looking at Cancan were all filled with envy!

The truth is - there is such a shortage of water right now!

Being able to water the plants with just one finger is something that no one dares to dream of.

Shanshan ran over from her mother's side and followed behind Cancan.

The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity, and she watched Cancan's every move carefully.

But she also knew that her uncle and sister Cancan were doing something important and she couldn't disturb them, so she just followed them quietly and didn't dare to get too close.

Shi Chen held her hand.

Shanshan looked up, then obediently let Shichen hold her, but her eyes never left Cancan's hand for a minute.

After all the seeds were buried, the four of them returned to where Chen Chong was standing.

Shi Chen has experienced a lot and has long been accustomed to it.

He held Cancan with one hand and Shanshan with the other, and stood two or three meters away from Gu Kai.

Gu Kai, on the other hand, stood there calmly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and he stood there without moving.

Except for him, no one around him moved, and no one even showed any expression.

Time seemed to have stopped for them.

The people around were a little unsteady on their feet, and some began to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on.

Some people also began to whisper, discussing what Gu Kai and other members of the Shen family were doing.

Enter into meditation?

Of course, because everyone knew that the people in front were all people with special abilities, they were just curious and no one questioned it.

I don’t know how long it was, maybe a minute or two, or maybe a little longer.

Suddenly, someone who was nearby screamed, and then immediately covered his mouth subconsciously.

The people behind were curious and wanted to take a closer look, but were stopped by Shi Lei and Lao Cao who came over hurriedly with stern eyes.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, regretting that their parents didn't let them grow a few centimeters taller.

People can't wait to see what changes are happening ahead?

Fortunately, this anxious wait was not long.

With one exclamation after another that could no longer be suppressed, even the people standing in the back row were shocked to see a row of climbing plants growing rapidly outside the fence.

The speed was as if the video had pressed the accelerator key. In the blink of an eye, the green leaves had climbed over the fence and climbed onto the net above the cornfield along the support that Chenxi had set up earlier.

"OMG!"

"Is this true? What kind of grass is this? How can it grow so fast?"

"They're going to fill up the net!"

"You see, there are thorns on the vine! If it's full of thorns, how can we go in and work?"

"What are you afraid of? If Xiao Gu can make them grow, then he can definitely let us go in and work. Is there anything to worry about?"

"That's right! Oh my god, is this true? I would believe it if it was a cartoon. How can plants grow so fast in real life? If it were true, why would we worry about food? We can just let Xiao Gu grow it for us."

"What are you thinking about? Why are you just daydreaming? According to you, how many little Gus do we need in the whole country to ensure that there is enough food to eat?"

…

Because people have complicated feelings about planting. On the one hand, they feel it is too difficult and too tiring, but on the other hand, they hope to change their lives by working hard to grow more food.

Therefore, Gu Kai's performance brought shock and excitement to everyone even more than Chen Cong.

When the vines covered the iron net and wrapped the entire land in a row of green shade, everyone looked at Gu Kai as if they were looking at a god, full of admiration.

And this admiration soon reached a higher peak!

Gu Kai finally finished his action and waved to Cancan.

Cancan walked forward, Gu Kai bent down, picked her up, and walked to a place not far from the vines.

Everyone watched Cancan casually raise her hand, and a fine mist of water followed her hand and sprinkled onto the newly grown vines.

The mist was fine, like the morning mist in early autumn, bringing coolness and sweetness.

This is something we haven't seen in a long time.

Almost everyone subconsciously took a deep breath, raised their face and closed their eyes, as if welcoming a gentle rain, hoping to be closer to the mist.

Someone suddenly shouted, "There's a rainbow!"

People suddenly opened their eyes and saw a gorgeous rainbow, appearing very clearly in the not-so-distant sky.

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I had a guest at home today. He stayed from nine in the morning to five in the evening and had a meal of dumplings at my house...
