Chapter 141 Returning Home
Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang felt that what Su Cheng said made sense, so they seemed to have left, but in fact they hid in the dark and observed the internal situation of the base.
They stayed in hiding for another month and discovered that some people were indeed restless. They told Su Cheng, and Su Cheng dealt with them overnight, leaving them no chance to escape.
Lu Xingtang was worried that there were still people who were not honest, so they secretly waited for another half a month. This time, they were all minor incidents, so they wrote down the list and gave it to Su Cheng. Su Cheng would have someone keep an eye on them to prevent them from doing anything that would harm the base.
This time, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo were really going to leave the base. Su Cheng drove them there and gave them a lot of supplies.
Lu Xingtang had already told Su Cheng that they lived in Qing'an Peak, and asked him to keep it a secret. If anything happened, he asked them to set off fireworks and three trigrams at the base, and they would rush to the base as soon as possible.
After sending Su Cheng to the foot of Qing'an Peak, Lu Xingtang did not allow Su Cheng to continue sending him and asked him to go home. Su Cheng remembered the route and did not force him.
"Su Cheng, I've placed your sister's ashes in your office! You..." Before Lu Xingtang could finish her words, Su Cheng knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo: "Thank you..."
She helped him to take revenge, hid his sister's ashes, and gave him the Shuanglong base to help him reorganize and take control.
Even if I kowtow countless times, it cannot offset their kindness.
"Su Cheng!" Lu Xingtang said coldly, "We all know you're grateful. There's no need to be like this. We don't want to see you like this! We're allies. If you're well, we're all well! So, you have to live with your share of Grandpa Su and Sister Su!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I will be fine, and you should be fine too."
After watching Su Cheng leave and losing sight of the car, the two took out binoculars to observe the surroundings, making sure there was no one around. They put the supplies into the space and returned to Qing'an Peak.
After two months of absence, wild grass and trees had grown on the mountain of Qing'an Peak. After the two climbed to the middle of the mountain with difficulty, they took out sickles and axes to clear the mountain road. The cut wild trees and weeds were stored in the space to be used for burning fire and cooking.
When they returned to their home after more than two months away, the vegetables had all dried up and turned yellow, and wild trees and weeds had grown near the house. Seeing the lush weeds and wild trees, Lu Xingtang and his friends had a busy day for the next few days.
Instead of cleaning the house immediately, the two took out insecticide or insect repellent powder and sprayed or sprinkled it around the wooden house. They were worried that the house would be occupied and nested by snakes, insects, rats and ants after they had been away for more than two months.
After a while, Ji Yanmo pushed open the door and saw spider webs everywhere. The wooden floor and walls were covered with dust. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo put on masks and gloves, took out a new broom to sweep away the cobwebs on the wall, and took out a rag and water to start wiping the furniture and floor.
Two people work faster than one, and before dark, they cleaned the house.
Then, they took out all the furniture that had been put away and put them in order. They returned to their respective rooms, took out the beds and bedding, put them in order, and took out the wardrobes and other items in the rooms.
After cleaning up, Lu Xingtang took out a chair and went to the balcony. Looking at the starry night sky, he felt much more at ease, especially when he saw Ji Yanmo busy in front of the barbecue grill, he felt even more at ease and warmed.
"Tangtang, the garlic grilled fish you ordered is ready, come and eat it!" Ji Yanmo raised his head and shouted at her.
"Here it comes!" Lu Xingtang came to Ji Yanmo's side, picked up a piece of grilled fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, "Chef Ji's cooking skills are really good, the color, aroma and taste are so delicious, it smells so good that it makes my heart ache."
Ji Yanmo said lovingly, "If you like it, eat more."
Lu Xingtang said, "Amo, please move aside. I want to grill oysters for you, as well as squid, lamb skewers, and beef skewers."
Ji Yanmo shifted his body: "Let's eat together after it's grilled."
The next day, the two of them started to get busy after breakfast. They took out the electric saw and cut down the weeds and wild trees around the house, especially the weeds and wild trees in the pigpen, cowpen and sheeppen, which had to be cleaned up.
After clearing the weeds and wild trees, Lu Xingtang took the excavator out of the space. Ji Yanmo drove the excavator and dug out all the tree roots, then filled the ground. Then he released the cattle and sheep that had been raised outside and kept them temporarily in the cowshed and sheep pen.
There are also pigs and two grown-up dogs. The kittens are in the wooden house. They are used to living in the space and they tremble with fear when they come out. They dare not go out at all. It will be fine once they get familiar with the environment.
Thinking of the kittens, Lu Xingtang felt depressed. When he first got the kittens from the pet hospital, there were only five of them. Now the cat family has grown to 23. There is no cat food to feed them, so he lets them eat fish in the pond. Every kitten has grown up to be plump and they are really carefree.
Compared to the dogs, both of them are boys and cannot form a group, but they spend every day around pigs or running on the grassland, so their limbs are very strong and developed.
He is not shy when he is out of the space and runs and plays freely outside.
The number of pigs, cows, sheep and horses in the space is increasing. They have never been sick since entering the space, and their reproduction speed has also increased. Now cows, sheep and horses are running all over the grassland. Fortunately, the cows, sheep and horses do not need to be taken care of by themselves, but the pigs are more tired. Even if they are controlled by consciousness, they are still very tired.
What made Lu Xingtang even more tired were the chickens, ducks and geese. They laid eggs every day, and the number of eggs was increasing. There was no place to put the eggs, so they were thrown directly on the floor of the warehouse.
"Amo, can you weave a bamboo or rattan basket? Chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs can't be thrown on the ground. Although they won't turn into empty eggs if they're kept in the warehouse, they'll roll everywhere, which is really annoying."
Ji Yanmo had seen bamboo baskets and rattan baskets, but didn't know how to weave them. Since he had nothing else to do anyway, Ji Yanmo cut a lot of bamboo and vines in the mountains and started to study.
Lu Xingtang was also looking for relevant videos. He had downloaded a lot of videos, including videos about making bamboo baskets and rattan baskets.
As a result, before Lu Xingtang found the answer, Ji Yanmo had already figured out the weaving method and gradually learned how to weave. After confirming that Ji Yanmo had mastered it, Lu Xingtang recorded a few videos and saved them.
It was already the end of October, and the weather was getting colder. Lu Xingtang hadn't planned to plant vegetables, worried that Su Cheng would come over one day and see they had pigs but no vegetables and become suspicious. So while Ji Yanmo was weaving rattan and bamboo baskets, she planted cabbage, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. She also planted a crop of wheat, but she wasn't sure if it would survive the winter. Hangzhou's winters were much warmer than those in the imperial capital, so it should be possible, but growth would be slow.
After planting the vegetables, Lu Xingtang came to Ji Yanmo and said, "Mo, that seed, the one that Xie Zhenchuan mentioned that was made from the heart of a blue star, shall we plant it?"
