Chapter 171 Air Raid Shelter Farm
Xia Xiaoman checked the several traps hidden in the yard again, and only the mousetrap under the wall next to the door was missing.
In other words, someone tried to climb over the wall to get into her house, but ended up stepping on the trap she had set, got caught by the mousetrap, and then escaped.
These mousetraps were bought from the Logistics Department. In order to kill the sharp-mouthed rats, the Logistics Department made the teeth on the mousetraps long and sharp, which was guaranteed to pierce the sharp-mouthed rats in one go.
A person caught in a mousetrap will inevitably suffer broken bones even if he is covered with thick clothes.
Xia Xiaoman hid the trap she had uncovered, and then buried some sharp spikes in the snow near the ice wall. In order to fix the spikes, she poured some water under the nails. When the water solidified into ice, the nails could stand firmly in place.
In addition to nails, she also took out some inferior knives and forks and placed them in rows in the yard. If someone climbed over the fence without saying hello, they would definitely be stabbed like a hedgehog by these nails and knives and forks.
After setting the trap, Xia Xiaoman went back to the house, boiled a pot of water and soaked his feet. When his body was warm, he curled up in bed and went to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Xia Xiaoman practiced the Plum Blossom Double Swords five times before cooking breakfast. She was a carb lover and liked all kinds of carb foods, so she cooked a pot of mushroom and minced meat noodles.
Put the alkaline noodles into boiling water and cook until done. Take them out and pour in canned mushrooms and minced meat. Then pour in a little boiling water, add a spoonful of chili and mix well. Eat the noodles in one bite. It is appetizing and delicious.
The noodles alone were too dry, so Xia Xiaoman also cooked a pot of frozen dumplings, and poured a little vinegar and chili into the dumplings, which had a sour and spicy taste and was particularly refreshing.
After eating and drinking, I went to the basement to check on the rabbits and chickens. Meat rabbits reproduce quickly. So far, I have bred 28 rabbits, plus the 4 I bought at the beginning, a total of 32 rabbits.
However, only 6 of them were edible, and the rest were just rabbits, with less than 2 taels of meat left even after skinning them.
Xia Xiaoman picked up a relatively large rabbit, weighed it, and decided to kill the rabbit today and make spicy rabbit meat.
On the other side, four hens laid an egg every day very regularly. Xia Xiaoman took out the four eggs and threw them into the space, and poured some locusts as a snack for the hens.
After feeding the animals, Xia Xiaoman went to the yard to sweep the snow and check if the traps set yesterday were damaged. After sweeping the snow, Xia Xiaoman returned to the living room to practice boxing and shooting until dinner time.
It has been nearly half a month since Xia Xiaoman returned to Li Yu'e's home, and his daily routine has remained basically the same.
I get up early and practice sword skills after waking up, have breakfast after practice, sweep the snow to digest the food, and then go back to the living room to practice after sweeping the snow. After lunch, I rest for two hours, wake up and continue practicing, and only after dinner in the evening do I sit on the kang and entertain myself with jigsaw puzzles.
Sometimes Xia Xiaoman felt lonely and didn't speak to anyone for half a month. She wondered if she would become aphasic after such a long time.
But most of the time, she enjoyed the quietness of being alone. No one urged her to work, no financial pressure, no need to force herself to learn knowledge that she didn't like, and no one scolded her and mocked her for being poor. She just needed to stay at home and do what she wanted to do.
However, this tranquility only lasted for half a month before it was broken by a knock on the door.
Xia Xiaoman was immersed in doing a puzzle on the heated kang. When she heard a sudden knock on the door, she was so scared that she almost knocked over the table.
She frowned in confusion. Who would have the time to knock on her door so late at night?
As I thought about it, I quickly put on my clothes and shoes and went out. When I opened the door, I saw two familiar people, one tall and one short.
"Why are you here so late at night?"
Fu Baiwei was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "Is it night time now? Sorry, I didn't notice. It's equally dark outside whether it's night or day. I can't tell the difference between day and night."
In the sewers, there are no clocks to tell time, and the area for movement is small, so everyone lives in a daze, and it is impossible to tell the difference between day and night. When they are tired, they sleep, and when they wake up, they eat, and when they are full, they sit in a daze, and people become stupid.
"It's past 9 o'clock in the evening, come in!" Xia Xiaoman stepped aside to let Fu Baiwei and Wang Shijin in.
Entering the living room and seeing the unfinished puzzle on the table, Wang Shijin said, "You are living a very comfortable life. You are still in the mood to play a jigsaw puzzle."
"I was bored at home alone, so I found some small toys to pass the time. Why did you two come here together? Were you bored in the sewer, so you came to play with me?" Xia Xiaoman said as he went to the stove to get two cups of boiling water and placed them in front of them.
Fu Baiwei picked up the water cup to warm her hands, "Come here to get some fresh air, and I have some good news for you."
"The government has built an indoor farm in the air-raid shelter. Now that the farm is complete, they are planning to recruit people to work in the shelter. Do you want to go?"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. "Building a farm in an air-raid shelter? When did they start building it? Why hasn't any news been released?"
It would take more than a month to build a farm in extreme weather. Even if the government had sufficient supplies and manpower, it would take at least one or two months to build it. In the past one or two months, she had not heard any news about building a farm in the air-raid shelter. She thought the air-raid shelter in the floating city would become the stationing place for the high-ranking officials and the army.
Fu Baiwei explained: "The air-raid shelter farm started to be built before the Eternal Night. I heard that it was not completed because of insufficient materials and the inability to control the temperature inside the air-raid shelter."
"Before it was completed, the higher-ups didn't release this information. I learned about it from Ayun."
"Ayun went back to work at the power station a few days ago. He came back yesterday and told me that the authorities had seized a set of heating equipment half a month ago, which contained more than 100,000 meters of heating pipes."
"The authorities used this set of heating equipment and heating pipes, which was just enough for the air-raid shelter. The authorities installed the heating equipment two days ago and adjusted the temperature. When they felt there was no problem, they released the news to recruit people."
"A set of heating equipment was seized half a month ago?" Xia Xiaoman murmured.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up and asked, "Where did the authorities seize this heating equipment?"
"Have you heard of the Crazy Dragon Society?" Without waiting for Xia Xiaoman to answer, Wang Shijin continued, "The Crazy Dragon Society is very low-key in the underworld, but its strength is stronger than any other gang. Once you provoke the Crazy Dragon Society, you must be prepared to destroy the gang."
"I used to admire the president of the Crazy Dragon Society for being able to manage the gang so well and for being so powerful."
"Half a month ago, the Crazy Dragon Society was destroyed by an unknown person, who also set off several flares to attract nearby patrol police and the military to the Crazy Dragon Society."
"When the troops and patrolmen arrived at the Crazy Dragon Society, they found many familiar high-ranking leaders running out of it, as well as many... disheveled young people..."
"The army found something wrong and mobilized other troops to support and forcibly searched the Crazy Dragon Society. The Crazy Dragon Society still wanted to resist, but they were all captured by the army in one fell swoop. When the army entered the Crazy Dragon Society, they found that the so-called Crazy Dragon Society was just some minions in the hands of a group of hypocritical high-ranking officials..."
