The pigs were raised, but the pigsty was still borrowed from someone else.

Xia Lunong suggested building a pigsty.

Yan Xinian said, "We must build a pigsty, it depends on what kind of pigsty you want to build."

Xia Lunong: "Since you have decided to build it, why not build a sturdy one? I think a brick house is better than a bamboo shed."

Yan Xinian looked at Xia Huoqu.

Xia Huo said, "I agree with Xiao Nong's point of view. Let's build a brick house."

Kong Zhi also said, "The bamboo shed is too easy to break down, and it's troublesome to renovate it every year."

Yan Xinian said, "Okay, let's build a brick house. There are no bricks in the base. Let's go to the property management committee tomorrow to make a commission and see if there is a collection team willing to bring us some bricks and tiles."

There are ruins everywhere outside now. It is not difficult to get bricks and tiles, but it is difficult to carry them back.

Several people went to the property management committee to make a commission, and only got good news from the collection team.

The peanuts still need to be exposed for a few days. After lunch, Xia Lunong looked at the sky and planned to turn the soil in the field.

The peanuts have just been harvested, and the bean seedlings have been pulled out. Now we have to turn the soil and plant some other vegetables.

Kong Zhi wanted to go to the fields with him, Xia Lunong asked, "Don't you need to go to the rice fields?"

"I'll go tomorrow, and I'll go plow the soil with you first."

Xia Lunong said, "Then I'll go to the rice fields with you tomorrow."

In the middle of summer, some families in the fields were picking tobacco leaves, and some were harvesting rice.

The sound of the thresher was heard from far away in the wilderness, and people's sweat flowed down in the various sounds, mixed with various smells to form the smell of summer.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi were busy in the fields, and the busier they were, the hotter they felt.

Xia Lunong took off the hat on his head, straightened up, fanned himself with the hat, and beat his lower back.

Most people would roll up a cigarette and smoke it during breaks from work to relax.

Neither of them smoked, they just sat there, fanning themselves and taking a breath.

Xia Lunong looked up at the blue sky and the large cotton candy-like white clouds above, and said, "While the weather is good, let's quickly pick the peppers and dry them."

"We'll pick them later."

"And tomatoes. The tomato and pepper cakes in the base are all ripe, let's dry some dried tomatoes."

"We need to dry some dried winter melons, too."

"Well, let's dry some winter melon peels to make winter melon tea."

The two chatted casually, and after chatting for a long time, they turned the soil again.

They had already pulled the peanuts very carefully before, and now when they turned the soil again, they found many peanuts left on the ground.

Xia Lunong picked them out one by one, threw them into a pile, and took them back when they returned later.

Turning the soil is a delicate job. The two worked for an entire afternoon and managed to turn over the bean patch and the two acres of peanut patch.

When they were done, it was already dark.

Xia Lunong straightened up and patted his lower back, "Forget it, let's come back tomorrow. We can't finish it today."

"Sow the seeds first. It won't take much time." Kong Zhi pushed him gently, "You go to the side and rest. I'll sow the seeds."

Xia Lunong stretched his back and his waist clicked. He sighed, "Forget it, let's do it together. It will be faster if we do it together. I'll sow the seeds and you cultivate the soil."

Kong Zhi nodded and used a hoe to flatten the vegetable patch.

Xia Lunong sprinkled the seeds evenly on the vegetable patch, scattering them sparsely.

After sowing the seeds, Kong Zhi went to the ditch below to fetch water and brought it back to wet the seeds, and then covered them with a layer of dry soil.

This is to prevent the sun from being too strong tomorrow and directly burning the seeds.

By the time all the seeds were sown, water was poured and the soil was covered, it was already dark and even the moon had risen.

The moonlight was bright tonight, and the earth was illuminated, which did not hinder them from seeing things clearly.

Xia Lunong straightened up, wiped the sweat off his face, stood in the middle of the field, and used his supernatural powers.

Every time he used his supernatural powers, he felt that something was actually emanating from his body, as if some chemical substance was seeping out of his pores directly and falling directly onto the nearby crops.

So every time after using his supernatural power, he felt particularly tired. He

was tired this time too, so tired that he put his hands on his waist and didn't want to talk.

Kong Zhi stuffed the hoe used by the two into the bucket, hit the peanuts picked in the afternoon, and then carried the bucket, and said to Xia Lunong, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Xia Lunong wiped the sweat off her face, faced the evening breeze, and followed him back slowly.

Most of the people working in the nearby fields have gone back, and the fields are empty.

Only a few people who need to watch the fields and release water, and some people who have transformed into beasts to go out hunting at night are still moving in the wilderness.

When Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi dragged their feet back home, they unexpectedly found that their house was dark, and no one was at Yan Xinian's house next door.

"They haven't come back yet?" Xia Lunong was surprised. "Did something happen at the base?"

"We were at the base this afternoon. If something really happened, we would have heard something." "

Then why haven't they come back yet?" Xia Lunong couldn't think of anything that would require his brother and his friends to stay out until the moon came out and not come home.

Kong Zhi said, "Let's make dinner first. Maybe they will come back soon."

"I'll take a shower first. I stink."

Kong Zhi lit a fire and boiled water, and let him take a shower first.

Xia Lunong came out of the shower and made eggplant fried eggs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, tomato and winter melon soup, and steamed a big pot of rice.

He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and his brother and his former brother had not come back yet.

"What's going on?" Xia Lunong, who had been waiting for a long time, could no longer remain calm. "I'll go out and look for them."

Kong Zhi took the flashlight and said, "I'll go with you."

Xia Lunong said, "Let's go to the small square first and see if anyone has seen them. It's really strange. If they encountered anything, my brother should have left me a note to explain."

The two of them went to the small square with flashlights.

Most of the people who were enjoying the cool air in the small square had left.

Xia Lunong caught up with the few remaining people and asked them.

Some of them actually knew the truth and told him that today a few young people wanted to go out to look for honey, but they actually found it. It was just that the group of bees was too big and chased them to death.

Now two of the young people have escaped and sold the news to the property management committee. Another family took out two thousand kilograms of rice and entrusted the property management committee to go out and look for people urgently.

Several people were full of disgust and commented:

"They are all idiots with high expectations but poor skills. They went there secretly even though they were told that bees are dangerous. Now they have caused the family to spend a lot of food, and they don't know if they can come back safely."

"Yeah, I also said that young people don't know their place. Everyone knows that there are a lot of good things out there, and you have to get them back if you are lucky."

"Yes, it's pitiful for several families. Once the food is out, it will be wasted for a long time."

Xia Lunong frowned, "Didn't you say you would entrust it to the property management company? Why are my brother and the others out too?"

"Captain Yan and the others are interested and took the initiative to say that they want to go and take a look."

"Yes, don't worry, Xiao Nong. Your brother and Captain Yan are masters among masters. If they think there is no problem, then there must be no problem."

"Captain Yan is leading the team. Old Liu and the others are also there. They also brought Doctor Ou with them. Everything will be fine."

"Yes, yes, yes. I estimate that it won't be long before your brother and the others come back."

Xia Lunong thanked everyone and went home with Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi said, "Brother Huo Qu and the others know what's going on. Nothing should happen."

"I know. If they run faster, the bees can't catch up with them." Xia Lunong said, "I'm just a little depressed. Why isn't my beast form a fierce beast form?"

Kong Zhi said, "If you were a fierce beast form, you probably wouldn't have superpowers. Your superpower is more useful. Many people in the base envy you."

"It seems so."

They didn't have to wait long. At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xia Lunong heard the noise, opened the door and ran out to see.

From a distance, they saw a group of beastmen running out from the bottom of the mountain, led by two white shadows, a tiger and a wolf.

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, and he made a trumpet shape with his hand and shouted, "Brother--!!!"

The white wolf obviously heard it, and suddenly changed direction and ran towards them, while the white tiger continued to lead the team to the small square.

Xia Lunong ran out to greet him, and saw his brother running to the door of the house in a few seconds. Xia Lunong

then saw that his brother was holding a large cloth package in his mouth, which was stuffed full and looked very heavy.

He rushed over, "Brother! Are you okay?!"

Xia Huoqu put down the package, rolled on the ground and turned back into human form, took out clothes from the package and put them on, panting lightly, "It's okay, I'm not injured, Yan Xinian is also fine. I was in a hurry this afternoon and didn't have time to tell you, and I didn't expect it to be delayed so late."

"I'm glad you're okay. What about those young people?"

"It's nothing serious, just a little bit of injury, with Doctor Ou here, it's no big deal."

Xia Lunong breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had time to look at the package.

When he opened it, he found that it was full of peaches.

These peaches were as big as grapefruits, with pink and white skin and a touch of red on the peach mouth, exuding a strong peach fragrance.

Xia Lunong was surprised and put it under her nose to sniff carefully: "Why are there so many peaches?"

"The place where they found the bees is a peach forest. It was probably an orchard before the disaster. We went there to rescue people and picked some peaches from the outskirts."

"Is the peach orchard far from the base?"

"Not close, at least 60 or 70 kilometers away."

Xia Lunong took a breath and carried the peaches home with Kong Zhi, asking: "It's so far away, how did they find it?"

"They said they followed the bees all the way and found the beehive." Xia Huoqu said this, "Our luck was okay, but our strength was a little lacking."

Xia Huoqu said, "We didn't dare touch the bees. They didn't fumigate the beehive properly and angered the bees. It will probably take some time before we can pick the hive."

Xia Lunong brought a cup of honey water to his brother and said, "It's better to be safe."

As he was talking, Yan Xinian came back and sat down on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing that his lips were dry, Xia Lunong quickly brought out another cup of honey water, "Brother Xinian, drink some water first."

Yan Xinian gulped down the water, then came back to Xia Lunong and said, "Thank you."

Xia Lunong shook his head and said, "I'll bring out the food."

"Okay." Yan Xinian stretched his waist, "It's so comfortable to have food to eat when I go home. If all the young people in the base are like Xiao Nong and Kong Zhi, we won't have to worry."

Back to the topic, Xia Lunong said, "The families of those who got into danger today really gave out 2,000 kilograms of rice?"

Yan Xinian: "Yes, there is always a price to pay for getting into trouble."

"So can they all give out 2,000 kilograms of rice?"

"Maybe they can't pay it right away, so they'll have to owe it first." Yan Xinian said, "Those who went out are beastmen, so they can only go out and collect supplies for a while. By the way, there's an acquaintance here."

"Who?"

"Yan Ningwang." Yan Xinian said, "The guy who exchanged soft Chinese cigarettes for half a catty of honey."
