Chapter 142: Visit
She was skeptical about many of the things Xie Zhenchuan said, especially the seed, but when she thought of the old man's sudden disappearance, she had to believe it.
Ji Yanmo put down the bamboo and reached out to hug Lu Xingtang. "No matter what the situation is with Xie Zhenchuan and that old man, I think we can plant it! What if this seed really affects the future of Blue Planet and can end the apocalyptic disaster sooner? Of course, we don't have to plant it. Let's study this seed. Aren't there a lot of medical equipment stored in the space? Let's take an X-ray and check the internal situation."
Lu Xingtang smiled upon hearing this. "I've already taken a picture of it. It's just the core of an ordinary seed, nothing special!" He paused. "Do you believe what Xie Zhenchuan said?"
Ji Yanmo shook his head and nodded again, and spoke after a long while: "It is better to believe it than not. We should take precautions in advance. What if it is true?" After all, Lu Xingtang only lived in the apocalypse for seven years in his previous life, and they didn't know what happened 35 years after the apocalypse.
Lu Xingtang thought for a long time: "I've decided to plant this seed in the black soil! I will open up a piece of land specifically for planting this seed. As for whether it will germinate or what it will look like in the future, I can't guarantee it!"
Ji Yanmo kissed her on the head: "No matter what happens in the future, I will be with you and never separate!"
Lu Xingtang pulled Ji Yanmo into the space and chose a place near the water source in the black soil to plant the seeds.
Looking at the endless expanse of black soil, and the fruits, vegetables, and grains planted there—many fruits ready for picking, and some ripe vegetables and grains already—Lu Xingtang's consciousness was constantly harvesting. But even with the help of consciousness, a person couldn't harvest quickly. "Starting tomorrow, I'll help you harvest the grain, fruits, and vegetables in your space. While my speed can't match your consciousness, it'll make things easier for you."
"Okay!" Lu Xingtang did not refuse. She could spare some time to harvest the herbs she had grown.
For the next 20 days, Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang basically stayed in the space, only having three meals a day outside. They harvested the fruits and grains in the space, turned the soil, and planted a new crop of vegetables and grains.
After planting, Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang cut bamboo and vines in the mountains, especially bamboo. Lu Xingtang transplanted a lot of bamboo into the space and let it grow in the mountains in their space.
There are bamboos in the space, but not many! There aren't many bamboos in the mountains either, so I'll move any that can be raised in the space.
Bamboo reproduces very quickly, so she is not worried about not having enough bamboo.
Ten days later, Lu Xingtang and his friends stopped going out to cut vines and bamboos and stayed at home to weave wicker baskets and bamboo baskets. Lu Xingtang also learned from them. Although his baskets were not as exquisite and beautiful as Ji Yanmo's, they could still hold eggs. Chicken and duck eggs were not very good, but goose eggs were fine, so there was no waste.
On December 7, Su Cheng came with a bag of rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments, as well as five heads of Chinese cabbage, five pounds of bean sprouts, a pork thigh, two fish, a box of toilet paper and five packs of sanitary napkins.
Looking at Su Cheng carrying a huge backpack with rice in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, his face was scratched by wild branches, but his clothes were not scratched, but were stained with a lot of wild tree leaves.
Seeing Su Cheng coming, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo hurried forward to greet him: "You are here, why did you bring so many supplies? We are not short of supplies!"
In case Su Cheng came to their house, they left a lot of supplies outside.
Su Cheng asked Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang to quickly take over the supplies: "Why do you want to live on the top of the mountain? The weather is getting cold now. How can you survive the winter?" It was too cold.
Lu Xingtang said, "There's firewood everywhere on the mountain, so how could it be hard to endure? Besides, how great is the top of the mountain? Aren't you jealous of this geographical location?"
Su Cheng didn't feel the weight of the supplies, so he looked at the top of the mountain carefully and saw that there was a platform on the top of the mountain. Even though the house took up a lot of area, there was still a lot of area in front of the door.
"You actually raise pigs, cattle and sheep!" Su Cheng was shocked: "They are raised so well, fat and strong. What do you feed them? You actually raise them so well." Su Cheng didn't think about trying to find out other people's secrets. He just felt that the pigs, cattle and sheep raised by Lu Xingtang and others were fatter and stronger than those raised in the base.
Lu Xingtang was extremely calm. "Qing'an Peak is so big, and the mountain has abundant supplies. We've lived there for a year, and we harvested some food before going to the base, so they're growing well for now! By the New Year, we'll have meat to eat!"
"Then I'll definitely come and eat for free!" Su Cheng came to the other end of the platform. When he saw the prototype of the base, he was shocked: "Can I get a telescope so that I can clearly see what's going on in the base?"
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo had no intention of deceiving Su Cheng about this. If Su Cheng had brought a telescope, he would have been able to see it.
"When we were at Shuanglong Base, we would observe the base every day. After the base became ours, we stopped looking!" Ji Yanmo went back and got the telescope. "Take a look?"
Su Cheng took the telescope and observed the base. When he saw the buildings and the survivors working there clearly, he exclaimed, "!!!!" It was amazing. "I can stay a few more days! And by the way, I can see if those people in management are pretending to obey!"
"Is the base unstable again?" Ji Yanmo asked.
Su Cheng shook his head: "The base is very good, and everyone works hard to earn enough to live. The management is very united, and no problems have been found so far." Because after they took drastic measures and reorganized the base without any discrimination, everyone, whether they were poor, rich, or the management, became very honest.
"You want to test the management? And you want to see who in the base is dishonest?"
Su Cheng nodded. "Everyone has behaved so well, especially the group of rich people. They didn't show any dissatisfaction with me at all. I know they have always been dissatisfied with me, so I want to see if they will take advantage of my absence to incite the base management to revolt and kick me out as the base leader! If they dare, these people will not be allowed to stay!"
At the same time, it is also a test for the management to see whether they will deal with the troublemakers according to the rules and regulations when faced with such situations.
Lu Xingtang smiled and said, "In that case, then don't leave. Help me weave rattan and bamboo baskets, or help me herd cattle, sheep, and pigs!"
In short, you can't be idle.
Su Cheng was more than happy to do so. It was better to take a break here than to be busy to death at the base.
The three of them sat on the platform. Lu Xingtang boiled a pot of water and set it aside. The wind was indeed strong on the top of the mountain. He found a piece of Ji Yanmo's clothes for Su Cheng. After the three of them sat down, they asked, "How are the Sheng brothers?"
Su Cheng said calmly, "Their brothers are not dead. At this moment, life is worse than death!"
