234. Air pollution survival mode (3)
"Miller, don't you think the air outside is a little pungent?"
The next day, after drinking a nutrient solution shared by Mi Le with a bitter face, Tang Qinqin said to Mi Le, who was washing up and preparing to go out.
"It's okay, get used to it." Millet replied.
After speaking, she turned around and admonished: "Qinqin, try not to talk to other people outside, at least don't reveal that you are from other places." ”
Feeling Miller's worry and kindness, Tang Qinqin smiled and nodded.
She didn't plan to go out today, yesterday Miller found her a few books that she had been collecting for a long time, and she planned to stay at home today to read the books and learn as much as possible about the situation here.
Miller needs to go to the same place yesterday to continue to share the greenery in order to maintain her physical condition and not pull her hips.
"You stay at home, I'll come back at noon to eat with you." After Miller finished speaking, he took the door and walked out.
Tang Qinqin came to the sofa with a book and sat down, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa.
Through the window, you can see that the sky outside is already bright, but it is still gray and gloomy.
"Little coward," Tang Qinqin held the little hedgehog in the palm of his hand and nodded his little head, "Can you sense the breath of your little friend here?" ”
The little hedgehog's small black eyes were wide open, and he shook his pointed nose and sniffed hard.
"Squeak!" A soft voice rang out.
Perhaps the small animals living in nature have a keen sense of smell, whether it is a wolf or a brown bear, and even the nose of a little hedgehog is comparable to a "smell detector".
It's just saying, "No. ”
Also, the land here is almost barren except for man-made buildings, there are no plants, no food, how can small animals survive here.
Stuffed it with two strawberries, Tang Qinqin signaled that it could enjoy the fruit after the meal freely.
The little hedgehog happily tied the strawberry to the backthorn, happily circled around Tang Qinqin's side, and then chose a place to start eating.
"It's easy to survive for a week. Is this what to do to break the vicious circle and wake up the sleeping city? Tang Qinqin chattered while watching the little bag chirping and chewing food.
"The vicious circle should be about the sparse vegetation and serious air pollution. As for the sleeping city, why is it said to be a sleeping city? ”
"I've heard of the Sleeping Charm."
"Could it be something important in the city that has been sealed?"
Tang Qinqin leaned on the sofa and brainstormed.
Not far away, a conflict over scarce greenery is breaking out.
Although the plants that have survived to the present day have some ability to purify the air, not everyone who takes care of them knows how to care for the plants, how to water and maintain them, and no matter how tenacious their vitality is, they can't stand the unreliable pig teammates.
Nowadays, whoever has green plants in their hands is equivalent to having treasures, and they can "respond to a hundred calls", which is quite majestic, making many people red-eyed and envious.
From time to time, some people take risks because of this, and snatch other people's green plants for their own.
A smart person is like the old man yesterday, he is an old gardener, he has been tending to flowers and plants all his life, and he is very familiar with how to maintain and cultivate green plants.
It's a pity that no matter how capable he is, the too harsh living environment and air quality can't keep them, and in the end he only has a few pots of pothos left.
He also knew that he couldn't protect it with his own ability, so he took the initiative to organize the people around him to share it together, and also gave them the protection of everyone in disguise.
Unable to stay idle and love flowers and plants, he tried to cultivate new pothos seedlings when he had nothing to do.
Pothos is mainly propagated by cuttings, which can be hydroponic or soil cultured.
However, the environment has deteriorated severely, and there is a lack of suitable soil and water, so it takes a lot of effort to grow new plants.
Because of his rich planting experience, he is sometimes invited to participate in crop cultivation experiments at the city management center.
……
"Qinqin, it's too dangerous outside now, don't go out, if you need to tell me, I'll figure it out." Mi Le returned home at noon and shared with Tang Qinqin the fresh gossip she learned in the morning.
As he spoke, he was probably afraid that his expression was not clear enough, and he took out his mobile phone to show her the video: "Look at it, oops, it scared me to death." ”
"Miller, do you have to go every day?" Tang Qinqin is also sincerely worried about the new friend in front of him who "hates to see each other late" and is very warm and thoughtful to him.
"Hey, Qin, if I don't go, I'll start to get sick the next day and become very weak." Mile was sullen.
She actually didn't want to go, wouldn't it smell good at home.
"But I won't go out the day after tomorrow, the weather forecast says that there will be haze the day after tomorrow, and we can only stay in the house and not go anywhere in the hazy weather." Miller said.
Tang Qinqin didn't take it seriously, she also experienced the weather phenomenon of haze.
What she was thinking about now was whether she should take out a pot of greenery and give it to Miller.
There are many plants in her companion space, a small "botanical garden" with rich vegetation, to be exact.
She also roughly knows that owning a pot of greenery is no less important to people here than owning a scarce treasure that makes people blush and grab their heads.
Miller is a sincere and kind person, and she really treats her as a friend, and she trusts her.
It's just that she knows the truth of "harboring her guilt", and she is worried that she will cause trouble to Miller.
……
The fourth day was fast approaching.
Tang Qinqin, who woke up with the biological clock, looked at the dark and oppressive sky outside the window suspiciously, and almost turned his head and continued to sleep.
Miller's voice sounded outside the door at the right time, accompanied by a knock on the door: "Qinqin, do you want to get up and eat some nutrient solution?" ”
She got out of bed and went down to open the door.
"Miller, why is it so early?"
"It's not early, it's seven o'clock, do you wake up and feel a little confused? You forget, the weather forecast says there will be haze today. Miller patiently explained, and handed over the nutrient solution.
"Is this haze?" Tang Qinqin's face was shocked.
She knew that the air was cloudy in hazy weather, the horizontal visibility was reduced to less than 10 kilometers, and it was generally milky white, but she had never seen such a black and oppressive "haze" as in front of her.
"No, you can't go out today, and you have to close the doors and windows, it is said that this haze will cause great harm to your health when it reaches a certain concentration." Miller said that he remembered the scare and instructions of his parents, and couldn't help but shudder.
The two of them finished washing up while talking, and went to the window to look out.
"Does this happen often?" Tang Qinqin almost had to stick his eyes to the windowpane, and he couldn't see the outside scene clearly.
This "haze" is very powerful, and she can't see through it with her open eyesight!
"Well, it's been getting more frequent and longer lately." Miller nodded.
A cell phone rings. Miller picked up the phone and said in an intimate and lively tone: "Dad, Mom, are you missing me......"
Tang Qinqin, who was still standing in front of the window, hadn't heard Mi Le's voice for a long time, and was a little puzzled, but when he turned around, he saw Mi Le, sitting on the sofa with a solemn and blank face.
"What's going on?"
