Chapter 59 p1
When she got home, Ji Yang immediately placed two blocks of ice in both the living room and the bedroom. She also turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom. Then, she went into her space. Was the first thing to take a bath?
No, the first thing was to prepare milk powder for the piglets!
She had bought a lot of milk and goat milk. She had searched for relevant tutorials. The piglets she had bought before could all eat feed. This kind, which looked too small and was still drinking milk, needed to be treated with caution.
Discovering that there might be lactose intolerance, Ji Yang prepared goat milk powder.
The water she had poured for the piglets was basically finished. They were much more energetic than when they had just come in. The climate, temperature, and humidity in the space were all very suitable. And next to them was a pigsty. Although the group of their own kind was unfamiliar, they still grunted and squealed, which made the piglets feel at ease.
So, when she poured the goat milk powder over, this group of little piglets, one by one, smelled the smell and also came over to eat.
Raising cubs was actually very simple. The space didn’t need to be shoveled. Normally, she just had to take care of their food and drink.
It was like she was looking for something to do when she was bored, and it was quite interesting.
The baby birds were ugly and cute. As they grew up, they became a little more pleasing to the eye. But the piglets were super cute, and they were getting uglier… And at this moment, it was probably the cutest time for the piglets.
Even that slightly ugly nose was also unbearably cute.
Afraid that they would fall into the milk and choke while drinking, Ji Yang stared for a while. Sure enough, one of them was eating too fiercely and fell headfirst into the milk. She picked it out, squeezed it, and it was soft. Besides the smell of the pigsty, there was nothing else wrong.
However, it was so small, and it was not good to take a bath, so she could only make do with playing with it.
Just as she had played for a while, the little guy in her hand hadn’t had any milk and immediately struggled and called out twice. Ji Yang quickly let go. It plunged in again, and she quickly took it out again, controlled it for a while, and when she saw that it had calmed down, she let go.
After watching for a while, she saw that there was only a little milk left at the bottom, and they had all eaten about the same. Their bellies were round and full. She also got up and was about to go and take a bath. When she turned her head, she saw Xixi had run in at some point.
It was just sitting not far away, staring at her.
A pair of dog eyes were staring straight at her.
Ji Yang: …
Why do I feel inexplicably guilty?!
She quickly coughed lightly and went over to rub Xixi. “Oh my, Xixi is so cute. Are you hungry?”
Xixi let out an “awoo,” nodded obediently, and when it heard that there was something to eat, its tail even wagged unconsciously.
Ji Yang prepared a basin of meat for it. Seeing it start to eat, she quickly flashed away to take a bath.
At this time, she had to talk about the benefits of short hair. She didn’t have to clean it so seriously at all. She would just rub the shampoo on her head a couple of times, rinse it off, and wipe it with a towel, and she was done.
After she had finished her bath, she just blew it with a hairdryer a couple of times and it was almost dry.
When she came out of her space, the indoor temperature had already dropped.
Ji Yang’s house did not have a central air conditioner. This was too power-consuming. At that time, she did not know that the living space was a bug-level existence that could be charged. She had specially asked the renovators to change it to an ordinary air conditioner.
However, as she was free to use electricity, the living room also used a high-power vertical air conditioner. Now, these things were basically a fool-proof installation, very simple.
However, the temperature outside was still too high. The high temperature of forty-five degrees made the air conditioner work hard. Even with two ice buckets, the living room still felt hot. Fortunately, it was completely cool when she entered the bedroom.
The bedroom area was relatively small, and the air conditioner and two ice buckets were more than enough.
Ji Yang was refreshed and comfortably lay on the bed. Her stomach was a little hungry, but she didn’t want to move.
She had gone out in the morning and had come back in the afternoon. After all this tossing and turning, she hadn’t even had lunch.
Ji Yang closed her eyes and looked for something to eat in her space. She was thinking about what she could eat while lying down. As she was looking, she saw a portion of boboji. She suddenly sat up. It wasn’t that she couldn’t go to the living room to eat.
She hadn’t had boboji in a long time!
It had been forgotten in a corner of the shelf, and it was only now that she had turned it over again.
Back then, she had booked a boboji shop for three consecutive days. All the ingredients were according to her requirements. They were good, and the whole process could be monitored at any time, so she was at ease. After it was done, it was packed and delivered in categories. Even the various soup bases were packed in better plastic seals.
When they were placed in her static space, at this sight, they were all still fresh and tender, and had only been simply cooked.
Ji Yang picked some of her favorites: cauliflower, broccoli, baby cabbage, cabbage hearts, boneless chicken feet…
With one or two skewers of each, she had a large handful of skewers.
Ji Yang also came out of her room, placed a relatively deep bowl on the tea table, and put the ingredients in the bowl. With a thought, a bag of vacuum-sealed red oil version of boboji soup base appeared in her hand. She carefully cut an opening, poured the soup base into the bowl, and poured it on the ingredients. The fragrance instantly filled the air.
Even though it was cold, the fragrance of boboji was still overbearing.
Ji Yang’s appetite also reached its peak.
She picked up a skewer of baby cabbage and ate it. The first thing she tasted was the numbing and spicy salty fragrance of the red oil soup, but inside was the sweet and delicious taste of the baby cabbage.
She took out another portion of iced coke. This was something she had slightly iced during the extreme cold. It was a cool temperature to the touch. At this time, she took a small sip, and the cold sparkling water directly made her shiver a little.
Life is perfect!

After eating and drinking her fill, Ji Yang let Xixi out.
The comfortable environment made Xixi happily pounce on its owner. Just as it was about to have a good cuddle with its owner, whom it hadn’t seen for two or three hours, as soon as it got close, it smelled the smell of food.
Xixi asked, “Awoo?”
Ji Yang said righteously, “I just had a meal.”
“Woof!” Xixi accepted this and licked its owner enthusiastically.
The little dog was well-groomed, did not eat things randomly, and was also regularly cleaned, so there was no strange smell. However, Ji Yang still refused this kind of enthusiasm. She raised her head and just vigorously petted Xixi, touching its long fur. “Huh, is it time to shave again?”
Xixi keenly sensed that something was wrong and twisted its body to run.
However, it was already too late. She had just eaten and drunk her fill, and Ji Yang was full of energy. She simply pulled it to her space to groom it, and trimmed the long fur again, leaving only a one-centimeter length close to the skin. This way, she could guarantee that it would not get sunburned, and it would also be cool.
When she was taking a bath and cutting its fur, Xixi was a little reluctant, but after the whole dog was washed, it seemed very happy. It hadn’t been to its own dog bed for several days. Now, when it came out of its space, it wandered around for a while and then consciously ran to its dog bed.
As early as after the temperature had risen, Ji Yang had added a summer cooling pad to its dog bed. But she was also afraid that if it slept directly on the cooling pad, Xixi’s joints would be uncomfortable in the future. So, she had not put away the original dog bed, but had placed it at the very bottom to separate it from the ground.
Who would have thought that when it was really hot, even if the cooling pad was placed alone, it would not sleep at all, but would lie on the floor or press against the cold wall to be comfortable.
In the end, she just let it be.
The human and the dog played for a while, and it was almost time to sleep. Before she went to bed, Ji Yang went to see the piglets again. It had been more than three hours since the last feeding. She observed the bellies of these little guys one by one and found that they were no longer deflated, so she made some more milk powder for them to eat.
After the piglets had finished eating, she went to see the baby birds. The largest bird was now almost a month old and was relatively lively. It would occasionally climb out of its nest, and she could already tell what it was.
It was a sparrow!
The other bird’s eggs had also hatched one after another, but in the end, there was still a small portion that had not hatched and had not grown smoothly. Now, there were a total of eleven birds in her space, and their types also looked different.
The bird’s nest was still in the fruit tree area, but because there were no natural enemies, Ji Yang had directly placed the nest on the ground. Even if it climbed out, nothing would happen. Now, her movements were more and more skilled. She didn’t even need to enter her space. Her consciousness could directly handle everything in a few minutes.
After everything was done, just as Ji Yang was about to go to sleep, she suddenly noticed that most of the flowers of the trees planted in the fruit tree area had bloomed!
As early as in Hu City, she had noticed that some of the fruit trees had already grown flower buds, but at that time, they had just sprouted, and the flower buds were still small and green.
As time passed, they had started to bloom one after another half a month ago. A little would bloom today, and a little more tomorrow. At first, Ji Yang had been curious, but there were too few blooms, and she didn’t dare to hold them. Now, it was different. At a glance, this area of fruit trees with lush green leaves was dotted with many flowers.
Most of them were small, some pink, some white, and of various shapes. They were surrounded by green leaves, making them look exceptionally small and exquisite. But the bees did not miss a single one and flew over to collect honey with precision.
This was simply great!
It was estimated that in another one or two months, she would be able to eat the fruit she had planted with her own hands!
Ji Yang withdrew from her space. She was full of anticipation even when she was sleeping. The ones she had planted with her own hands were different from the ones she had bought. And the space could almost be said to have a suitable climate and favorable weather. The fruit would definitely be sweeter!
With this kind of anticipation, Ji Yang fell asleep in a short while.
But Jiang Jing and the others did not sleep.
It should be said that in order to save time, they had taken turns to rest for one or two hours. There was no time to sleep. The weather was hot, and the meat was too easy to go bad. They did not have a refrigerator and could only process all the meat at the fastest speed. Staying up all night was inevitable.
They ate in turns and rested in turns.
Besides the people who were smoking the meat, the more important thing was actually to collect combustibles. The stock in one building was limited. The few of them had been coming and going all the time, searching every building in the community, and had barely been able to keep up with the firewood for smoking the meat.
They had been busy like this until two in the morning. Only then did everyone exhaustedly finish the last portion of smoked meat, extinguish the firewood, and go back to sleep.
Jiang Jing was on the fifteenth floor, on the Li family’s side. The Zhu Yun siblings and the Zhao Ming couple were living on the sixteenth floor. Soon, the last bit of light in the room disappeared. The group of people who had been guarding all night finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and let out a sigh of admiration. “So fragrant! There’s so much meat!”
The others immediately nodded frantically. They had long since secretly come to a community next to Jiafu Community, but they didn’t dare to get close, for fear of being discovered.
At such a close distance, they had been smelling the smell of meat wafting from Building 9. They had long since been so greedy that they had almost gnawed on their own meat.
They wanted to eat meat so much!
They wanted to have a full meal before they died even more.
The group of people looked at their leader. “Boss, can we go now?”
The person who was called the boss, whose face was covered in festering, also showed a look of expectant and sinister smile. “Of course. They are fast asleep at this time.”
After being tired, whether it was Ji Yang or the newly arrived group of people, they would not be easily awakened.
This was simply the best time to make a move.
Not to mention so much wild boar meat!
It was simply as if God was helping him!
The boss was the first to set off. Their boats were not enough. Most of the rubber boats were monopolized by the government. The ones in their hands were all gotten from killing people and robbing.
The rest were all kinds of bamboo rafts, wooden boats, and the like.
However, the distance was not far, and they could make do.
Basically, a group of five or six people would get on a boat, and the oars would be paddled. They would go towards Building 9. They were all very quiet. With the temptation of thousands of jin of pork in front of them, they were all very cooperative, trying their best not to make a sound. After a batch of people had arrived, they would go back to pick up another batch.
Coming and going, until the bottom two floors were filled with survivors.
And when the others were asleep, Jiang Jing couldn’t sleep. She had eaten a big meal of meat today. She felt sorry for her daughter for not having eaten anything good since she was born, and had fed her a lot of meat. But she had temporarily ignored the fact that the little girl’s stomach couldn’t handle so much oil, and in the evening, she had started to have vomiting and diarrhea.
