Chapter 808: Feeding medicine

When Xia Qing walked to the entrance of the sheep shed, she heard a rustling sound inside. It should be that the two cubs running around had drilled into the nest to hide.

After there was no sound inside, Xia Qing called Boss Sheep, opened the door of the sheep shed, and closed it again when she approached.

Why bring Boss Sheep? Because squirrels and sheep are both four-legged animals, and Boss Sheep is a grass-eater, bringing it might reduce the fear of the red squirrel cubs a little.

After entering the sheep shed, Boss Sheep sniffed the water in the basin and the empty plate next to it. After confirming that there was no food here, it lay down next to it and started chewing the cud.

Xia Qing walked to the straw pile, placed a small bit of cucumber on the dry grass outside the squirrel nest she had set up herself, and waited quietly.

Red squirrels are animals with a very sensitive sense of smell. The fragrance of the green-light cucumber cubes was quickly captured by them. But about three minutes later, a squirrel cub poked its little head out, quickly grabbed the cucumber cube, and drilled back in. Xia Qing didn't hear the chewing sound, which meant that this little guy who didn't have flying hair on its ears swallowed the cucumber cube directly or hid it in its cheeks.

Xia Qing put on the second cucumber cube. It was still the bold one, the cub without flying hair on its ears, that ran out and grabbed the cucumber cube.

After the third and fourth cubes, Xia Qing placed the cucumber cubes in her palm and stretched her palm to the side of the squirrel nest.

These three little red squirrels were born and raised in the sheep shed and were very familiar with Xia Qing, who came in every day to put water and food, but this didn't mean they didn't fear the huge Xia Qing, otherwise they wouldn't have hidden.

Xia Qing stood by the straw pile with her palm raised, waiting quietly.

It was still the boldest cub that couldn't resist the temptation. After more than ten attempts, it ran out and grabbed the cucumber cube in Xia Qing's palm at lightning speed. Although the speed of this little guy was not as fast as its mother's, it was much faster than ordinary squirrels. It was also a speed evolver, and the possibility of surviving after leaving its mother was not small.

After this bold cub ate more than twenty tiny cucumber cubes and was no longer interested in cucumber cubes, another one also started snatching food from Xia Qing's palm. Little Xiao Feimao still hid in the nest and refused to come out. The shock plus physical weakness might have made it lose its appetite, or its speed was not as fast as the other two, so it couldn't snatch food.

In the evolutionary forest, cubs that cannot snatch food cannot grow up. Even the nests of hairless chicks under Xia Qing's eaves, after the big swallow brings back insects, will stretch their necks close to the food and flap their little meat wings to push away the little swallows in the same nest, striving to snatch priority for food.

Xia Qing was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Until the two healthy cubs had eaten more than twenty tiny cucumber cubes and were no longer interested in cucumber cubes, Little Xiao Feimao slowly crawled out of the straw pile, staring at the cucumber cubes in Xia Qing's palm with its black, shiny little eyes, its brown-red whiskers trembling a few times.

After a long time, it dragged its dull, messy, and sparse big tail, and walked onto Xia Qing's palm with its weak and powerless four little legs supporting its body, which had a few patches of fur shaved off.

Xia Qing didn't move and watched it in her palm with a calm mood. Changes in emotions and heart rate affect the strength of biological currents in the body, thereby triggering subtle changes in the biological magnetic field. Most wild animals are very sensitive, and her magnetic field changes might stimulate this weak Little Xiao Feimao.

This weak cub, which Xia Qing confirmed to be a brain-domain evolver and had tufts of flying hair on its two ears, didn't eat the cucumber cubes in Xia Qing's palm. It slowly crawled down Xia Qing's arm and climbed onto her shoulder.

At this moment, an irrepressible joy rose in Xia Qing's heart, changing her magnetic field, but the weak little squirrel still squatted on her shoulder.

Xia Qing raised her left hand wearing a glove and slowly and gently grasped Little Xiao Feimao in her palm.

After being grasped, Little Xiao Feimao was so frightened that it shivered, and its body became stiff, but it didn't struggle or call for help, because the feeling Xia Qing gave it was familiar and safe.

The corners of Xia Qing's mouth curled up slightly. Little Xiao Feimao didn't fully trust her. Then why did it crawl from the straw pile to her shoulder? Could it be because the Use Yishi she wore around her neck was larger than the one hanging on the wall?

"Little Xiao Feimao, don't be afraid. Let's go take medicine. You'll feel better soon after taking it."

Gently stroking Little Xiao Feimao's tiny head, Xia Qing brought it back to the house, took out the special medicine bottle from the refrigerator, used a dropper to extract two milliliters and fed it to drink, and then sucked one milliliter of freshly squeezed X nutrient solution and fed it to it. In addition to quickly replenishing physical strength, X nutrient solution also had the effect of repairing physical damage, which was just right for Little Xiao Feimao's current situation.

After feeding, Xia Qing applied anti-inflammatory and bactericidal medicine to the wounds on Little Xiao Feimao's body before putting it back on the straw pile.

After gaining freedom, the little guy stumbled and ran into the nest to hide. Xia Qing said happily, "Considering your attitude is not bad, I won't charge a service fee for feeding medicine this time. You still owe me 46,000 points."

Just as Xia Qing finished speaking, the mother red squirrel ran in with its cheeks bulging. Seeing Xia Qing standing by the straw pile, its fur exploded, and it drilled in like a flash of lightning.

Xia Qing...

This one who eats for free!

She saves wolves and raises pigs for wolves, all of which are exchanged for Use Yishi; when saving the cub in Little White Hair's belly, the one who plucked the hair knew to give her a toad head as a sign of gratitude; it's just this one who eats for free, from being injured last winter to now, eating her food and drinking her water, not only doesn't give supplies, doesn't know how to be grateful, doesn't send thank-you gifts, but also treats her like a ghost when seeing her. Who can she reason with about this!

However, she found green-light chestnuts and hidden valleys by stealing the home of the one who eats for free, so it wasn't a loss.

Xia Qing mixed the remaining cucumber cubes and the remaining spinach juice together and served them all to Boss Sheep. When it was in a good mood, she discussed, "Boss, shall we go to the reservoir to play with the waterwheel? We need to water the sweet potatoes planted in Shed 11. Don't you like eating sweet potato leaves? We'll plant more so you can pick and eat, how about that?"

Shed 11, which was the shed where winter rapeseed was planted before, and now the rapeseed had been harvested, and there were still a few green-light mung beans growing sparsely in the shed. Xia Qing had already spread fertilizer, and after watering it thoroughly and plowing it, she could cut and plant green-light sweet potato vines.

Last year, Xia Qing cut and planted sweet potato vines before the second Qi rain, but the newly planted sweet potato seedlings not only Qi-evolved by a quarter in the Qi rain, but the quality of the remaining plants also declined.

Drawing on last year's failure experience, Xia Qing decided to cut and propagate sweet potatoes after the second Qi rain this year, and protect them with Use Yishi during the third Qi rain. In this way, by late autumn, she would be able to harvest an acre of green-light sweet potatoes.

She eats sweet potatoes, and Boss Sheep eats sweet potato leaves, perfect!

"Mehh." The foodie Boss Sheep had no opinion and happily followed Xia Qing to play with the squeaky water-drawing bicycle.

Boss Sheep has a heavy body and great strength. This modified bicycle, which has been used for more than half a year, can no longer hold up. Xia Qing fixed the deformed frame with iron wire and iron plates, and it still made noise when used. The power-generating bicycle at home is even more so.

Xia Qing used the yellow-light wheat that would be harvested in a few days as a reward, and asked Jiang Ying to weld two sturdy sheep bicycles for her. Both materials and labor were provided by Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying also knew how to modify bicycles. Several of the water-drawing bicycles that Hu Zi exchanged with the territory owners were modified by Jiang Ying.

This little girl is steady, capable, diligent, and eager to learn. Mother Zhao likes Jiang Ying very much, saying she is a good seedling, but unfortunately, she was delayed by the disaster.

But then again, among the people who are still alive now, who hasn't been delayed by the disaster? Tang Huai also said that if it weren't for the disaster, he would be a well-known archaeologist now.

Stuffing a piece of ration to Boss to encourage it to work hard, Xia Qing carried a hoe to the sweet potato terrace to check the growth of the sweet potatoes, counting how many sweet potato vines could be cut and whether it was enough to plant an acre of land.

If it's not enough, Xia Qing can exchange some.

On the list of territory owner exchange supplies that Zheng Kui sent to Xia Qing a few days ago, there were 8 territories in the east and south that took out green-light and yellow-light sweet potato seedlings to exchange for supplies. Neatly, every territory owner who took out supplies wanted green-light rice or green-light corn seeds.

The reason why Zheng Kui sent it to Xia Qing instead of Zhong Tao was because Zhong Tao had already retired and became the warehouse manager of the Ninth Planting Center, and was receiving truckloads of building materials for building staff dormitories and canteens pulled from the safe zone.
