Chapter 86 Homecoming
She thought about the names of the puppies and decided to follow the naming logic of the original owner, naming them Xiaohuang, Xiaohua and Xiaohei.
The injured one was Xiaohua, who was the most timid when facing Zhao Yeqing.
After a period of feeding, he no longer rejected her touch.
The puppies have gained some weight, and Dahuang has also gained some meat and no longer looks skinny.
Zhao Yeqing took all the puppies outside to play, and Dahuang did not stop them. He just squatted aside and watched.
She made a small ball out of rattan and threw it to the puppies. This simple rattan ball became their first toy.
She stared at the happily playing puppy for a while. She didn't know how long she was in a daze before she came to her senses and looked back to find that the room was empty.
She seemed a little sad.
Before she could figure out why she felt sad watching the cheerful scene, her thoughts were interrupted by the rattan ball that fell at her feet.
Zhao Yeqing smiled, picked up the ball and threw it out. Several puppies rushed over to chase it happily.
The puppy played on the meadow outside the house while she continued to deal with the annoying wool.
After being busy for several days, Master Zhao finally found some tricks and completed the wool cleaning of five sheep on the third day.
Removing the residue from the wool is only the first step in processing. After cleaning, it still needs to be soaked and rinsed.
Wool needs to be soaked in running water, otherwise it will easily become smelly.
Zhao Yeqing carried the oversized wooden basin in the warehouse and went out, walked to the water source that had not yet dried up, put the coarse woven sack filled with wool in the basin, and then placed the basin under the water source.
After soaking it underwater for a day, the smelly stuff on the wool inside was soaked out. I opened it and washed it with water, then put it back into the bag and continued to soak.
Take out the wool that has been soaked for two days and then scrub it.
Don't scrub too hard, otherwise the wool will become fluffy.
There was a special cleaning agent in the tool room. Zhao Yeqing took it out and carefully washed the wool that still had a slight odor, then spread it out to dry.
Wool cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, so she placed it under the windowsill of the hay room. The window faced south and could receive sunlight for most of the day, but the sunlight would not be too strong through the window.
-
When the wool was almost done drying, Mu Xi, who had been out for seven days, returned to the cabin under the moonlight.
Zhao Yeqing was about to go to bed after taking a shower when he vaguely heard the sounds of Huhu and Xuebing.
When she got out of bed and opened the door, two little leopards came to her feet and rubbed around her ankles.
She raised her eyes and saw Mu Xi closing the gate and walking towards her with his back to the moonlight. Her heart beat suddenly, and the sound of her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent night.
Seeing that she was a little dazed, Mu Xi wanted to rub her head, but felt that his hands were dirty, so he just held the door and said to her,
"Go in quickly and close the door. Don't let the mosquitoes in. You'll get bitten again soon."
Mu Xi locked Zhao Yeqing into the house, put his things away, cleaned them up, and then carried his backpack into the house.
Zhao Yeqing was sitting in the house, rewarding the two little guys with dried meat. When he saw Mu Xi coming in, he stood up and
"How is it? Did you encounter any danger?"
She looked Mu Xi up and down and didn't find anything wrong, except that he looked a little tired.
Mu Xi ruffled her hair, "Worried about me?"
For the first time, Zhao Yeqing felt two little leopards wandering around under her feet. It was very annoying and made her feel itchy...
She pushed Mu Xi, who had just entered the room, out the door and threw toiletries to him, "Go take a shower, you stink."
When Mu Xi finished her shower, she saw Zhao Yeqing lying on the bed, using the power bank he took out of his backpack to power his cell phone, and watching the TV series she had been dreaming about without blinking.
I thought my phone would last a week, but it ran out of battery on the fourth day when Mu Xi was out.
I'm used to having people around me, and I always want some sounds in my ears. Watching videos consumes too much power, so I can only listen to crosstalk every day, but I still only lasted four days.
Zhao Yeqing heard the noise and saw Mu Xi coming in. He remembered that he had seen him carrying a lot of bags before, so he put down his phone and asked, "What did you bring back?"
Mu Xi looked at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. He blew out the light and said, "Go and see it yourself tomorrow."
-
As soon as Zhao Yeqing got up, he ran to see what Mu Xi brought back.
In addition to the large and small bags, I saw that there was also a cage of chickens.
Mu Xi was brushing his teeth, spitting out the foam in his mouth and said, "When I went back, they were in good condition. When the feed was finished, they ate their own eggs and survived."
Zhao Yeqing was very surprised and immediately let them out for a spin.
After holding it in for so long, she was afraid that the child would get sick, so she still hoped that the chicken would lay eggs.
Most of the bags were daily necessities and clothes that she didn't bring with her, and the only food she brought was some sweet potato vermicelli and potato starch.
Zhao Yeqing was packing his things and asked about the journey, "Did it go smoothly?"
Mu Xi did not hide it from her, "It was OK. When I was almost home, I met a hyena. I had some meat left in the freezer with me, so I threw it to it. It didn't pounce on me, but took the meat and left. Don't go there alone next time."
Then he explained the situation at home one by one, "The wooden fence was knocked down, but there is no problem with the brick fence inside. The solar panels have been taken back, and the water supply at home has been completely cut off."
If they had not chosen to go out to find water at that time and were still living at home, they would probably only have the choice of fetching water from the lake behind the mountain in the north.
The lake behind the mountain is the territory of the black bear.
Although they encountered some dangers on this trip, they found the wooden house on the meadow, solved the problem of drinking water, and also got a flock of sheep and a few dogs. It was a win no matter how you look at it.
Convinced that his choice was correct, Zhao Yeqing was in a good mood and was not sad about the lack of water at home.
Being alive is the greatest asset.
Maybe after a while, the weather won't be so hot anymore?
When there is water, they can go home.
Zhao Yeqing collected the dried wool, put it in a sack, and placed it in a ventilated and well-lit place, reminding himself to check whether the wool was infested by insects at any time.
After solving the problem of the sheep, Zhao Yeqing finally put his mind at ease.
Seeing some fertilizer among the things Mu Xi brought, she remembered that she hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time.
This is very unfavorable to umm.
Vegetables still have to be planted.
She marked out an area behind the house and "built a shed here to plant vegetables inside. Don't nail the shed cloth down, and paint it black to make it removable. Only give it sunlight for half a day a day, and keep it closed the rest of the time, so the vegetables won't be killed by the sun."
For vegetables, choose the most heat-resistant ones, such as water spinach, red amaranth, wood ear vegetable and cowpea.
As long as they are not exposed to severe sunlight, these vegetables can thrive in temperatures as high as 40 degrees.
If the sun wasn't so strong right now and the water wasn't evaporating so quickly, there would be no need to build this shed.
The two people divided the work, one worked on the greenhouse and the other plowed the soil.
In the middle of the process, he even found time to rescue the screaming hen from Dahuang's mouth.
The poor hen survived by eating eggs with tears, but almost died at the hands of a dog.
