Chapter 300: Hiding at home may not be safe
The man grabbed the little girl's arm and dragged her away.
The little girl struggled hard and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! Let me go, don't pull me!"
The man didn't listen at all. "Come back with me. Haven't you heard that someone is doing human experiments? How dare you run around? Stay at home and don't come out!"
"Uncle, I'm not running around. I'm here to study. Let me go!"
"What do you want to learn? I'm your uncle, a college graduate, so I'm more than capable of teaching you. Come back with me. Your mother entrusted you to me. If anything happens to you, how will I explain to your mother after I die? Come with me!"
The man grabbed the girl and dragged her away without saying a word.
The other parents who were watching looked at each other in bewilderment. “Is this human experiment true or false? It’s been going on for several days, and there’s still no explanation from the higher-ups.”
"Tsk, you're a brainless person. In this environment, the people who can afford human experiments must be the people in the upper echelons. How can you ask them to explain to you that they conducted human experiments themselves and exposed the scandal?"
"Oh, what should I do? This incident has caused panic among the people. Fortunately, it is eternal day now. If it were eternal night, I would not dare to go out."
"What are you afraid of? When you go out, try to walk on the main roads and go to crowded places. I don't believe those people dare to arrest people openly."
"Those people have nothing to do, so why do they do human experiments? Instead of spending their time on this, they should think about how to rebuild their homeland."
"I doubt it. The human experiment is fake. It's probably because some important person has organ problems and needs to have an organ replacement, so... you know. Otherwise, why would those people conduct human experiments for no reason? It must be to replace organs!"
“…”
The leaf made by Li Yu'e, except for telling everyone that Fucheng was conducting human experiments, did not write any other causes and consequences. As a result, some people did not believe this news, while others relied on their rich imagination to derive 800 episodes of plot from this short sentence.
Regardless of whether these people believe it or not, based on their years of experience with natural disasters and turbulent times, they all choose to travel in groups as much as possible. They will never take the small roads if they can take the main roads, so as to eliminate the possibility of accidents.
…
It was time to pick up the saplings. After Xia Xiaoman settled Maodan down, she went out to pick up the saplings.
There were still many people picking up saplings today. She walked to the back of the team and found that the person standing a few meters away from her in the next team was Fu Baiwei. This time, Fu Baiwei had no injuries on her face, and standing behind her was Sun Haiyun.
Having not seen Sun Haiyun for more than half a year, she almost didn't recognize him.
Sun Haiyun used to be thin, but at least he had some flesh on his face. Now his eye sockets and cheeks are sunken, and his eyes are lifeless, staring at the front like a pool of dead water. His medium-length hair is not taken care of, just left hanging down, like a homeless person on the street.
When Fu Baiwei saw her, she felt a little embarrassed and anxious. She wanted to take Sun Haiyun away, but she didn't want to queue up again. She could only pretend not to see Xia Xiaoman and stared at the front of the line.
Seeing that the other party pretended not to see him, Xia Xiaoman didn't bother to make himself look bad and waited in line quietly.
"Hey, where's Brother Zhang? Why didn't he come to get the saplings?"
"Who knows where he went? Yesterday I saw a beautiful woman looking for him, and he went out with her not long after. He hasn't come back yet. I guess he's in his ecstasy den and can't get out."
"My next-door neighbor had the same problem. A beautiful woman came to see him suddenly, and he left with her without even locking the door. He hasn't come back in two days. Do you think something happened?"
"Well, what could possibly happen? He must have had too much fun and didn't want to come back."
"I'm not kidding you. I suspect something really happened to them. Have you forgotten the human experiments I mentioned a while ago? Someone must have tricked them out and arrested them."
“…”
Xia Xiaoman lowered his head and kicked the stones under his feet out of boredom, but he was listening very attentively to the conversation between the two people in front of him.
There were many people in the station who were like her, with only one person at home and no need to repair the road. Most of these people chose to stay at home. If the laboratory could not catch the lone person, they might really focus on these single men and women.
After getting the saplings back home, Xia Xiaoman checked the traps at home to make sure they were all working before planting the saplings.
After finishing the farm work and completing his daily training with Maodan, Xia Xiaoman cooked a pot of potato and braised rabbit rice, which the man and the wolf ate with great satisfaction.
After a full meal, Xia Xiaoman took out her eye mask and put it on at about 11pm, ready to sleep. She heard Maodan growling in a daze, and then there was a noise in the yard.
Xia Xiaoman immediately sat up, took off her blindfold, put on her slippers and ran out. As soon as she ran to the yard, she saw a figure climbing over the wall.
Xia Xiaoman immediately chased after him, but by the time she opened the gate, the person outside had already run away.
She went back to the yard and saw a pool of blood where a trap was placed, but the trap on the ground was gone, which meant that someone broke into her house and stepped into the trap.
Xia Xiaoman's eyes darkened. It seemed that even hiding at home might not be safe.
After that day, she would be careful every time before going to bed, and set traps behind the gate and under the wall. But perhaps those people had suffered losses in her house, and they never came to disturb Xia Xiaoman since that day.
In the blink of an eye, half a month later, the pumpkins in the field bloomed. This time, perhaps because the weather was not so hot, some small insects flew around the seedlings, but there were not many.
Xia Xiaoman was worried about uneven pollination, so she still chose artificial pollination. While she was pollinating with wolf hair, Maodan suddenly ran around excitedly.
Xia Xiaoman was afraid that it would crush the pumpkin seedlings, so she said unhappily, "Maodan, you are not allowed to run in the field. Get up!"
"Ah, awooo~" Maodan not only did not go up, but also yelled at Xia Xiaoman.
Before Xia Xiaoman could figure out what it wanted to say, a clear gong sounded suddenly outside, followed by the sound of a horn.
"Locusts are about to appear! Locusts are about to appear! All residents, please light a fire and break off pine branches and throw them into the fire! The smell of burning pine branches can drive away locusts!"
Xia Xiaoman heard what was in the speaker's mind and immediately took out seven or eight iron basins, put dry firewood in them and burned them, and threw them in different corners of the field. When the braziers were burning, she quickly ran to the back of the house to pick pine greens.
After picking the pine branches, she did not rush to throw them into the fire, but kept observing the horizon. When she saw a black line appear on the horizon, she threw the pine branches into the fire.
