Chapter 181: Listening to the Sounds of Plants

Shen Long obtained the ability of tree man and tree wife to communicate with plants and promote the reproduction of plants. As long as he wanted, he could have a dialogue with plants, so that plants could grow stronger at a faster speed.

This is a bit like a druid, but it is different. This ability can be said to be quite useful. Shen Long came out of the house, found a few empty flower pots, dug some soil from the garden, mixed it with flower fertilizer, and filled it with flowers. pot, and planted the Hobbit tobacco seeds that Bilbo Baggins had gifted him.

I poured water and recited the mantra according to the method taught by Treebeard. After a while, I saw a few small sprouts emerging from the flower pot. Make a piece of land in the garden and sow the seeds every day, it will be enough for my daily food and the store's use." Shen Long exclaimed.

"And it seems that these buds are growing very well, with full color and strong leaves, which seem to be much stronger than ordinary tobacco buds." Shen Long recited the spell a few more times, and waited for the buds to enter the small cross stage (two real tobacco buds) leaves and two cotyledons), divide these shoots into other flower pots according to their species, and continue to water and fertilize them.

After finishing this, Shen Long took the watering can to take care of other plants in the yard, and tried to communicate with the plants while watering, "Is this water enough? Do you want to apply some fertilizer?"

"The water is almost there, so there's no need to fertilize, but there are insects biting me, can you help me catch them?" The pine needles in front of him rustled, and from these sounds, Shen Long heard its request.

Shen Long was stunned for a moment before he realized, hey, he can really understand the words of plants. He circled the pine tree a few times, "Where are the bugs hiding? Why didn't I see it?"

"Where the second branch branched from the bottom up, there is a small hole. The larvae of the monochamus hide in that hole. You have to find something to hook it out." The needles of the pine tree trembled again .

"Oh, I see, just wait a moment, I'll go find tools." Shen Long went back to the room and found a wire to bend and insert it along the wormhole, and drew out a brown worm.

"Ah, it's much more comfortable now. This guy has been biting the bark in my body recently, making me itchy, and now I'm finally relieved." The pine tree let out a cheerful rustle.

"That's good, just tell me if you need help in the future." Shen Long was also very happy, perhaps because he had inherited the knowledge of tree people and tree wives, he felt more and more kind to these plants.

"Well, the neem tree next to it also has worms, and it still needs some watering, so go and help it!" The pine tree was still very friendly, and after solving its own problems, it began to care about the plants next to it.

"Okay, right away." Shen Long came to Lianshu's side,

After pouring the water, I asked where the bugs were hiding, and then used a wire to hook the bugs out and kill them.

I greeted the trees and flowers planted in the yard one by one, and helped them solve their problems as much as possible. These plants recovered their health one after another, and shook their branches and leaves to express their gratitude.

"You helped us, let us do something for you!" The pine tree shakes its needles again, the leaves of the neem tree undulate up and down, and other plants also gently shake their leaves according to different rhythms. The surrounding air is obviously a lot cleaner, and it feels much fresher than before when it is inhaled.

These plants helped him purify the air in the yard, so that he would not be disturbed by smog, and he could live and exercise here with confidence; he did not expect such benefits, and Shen Long was very happy. If there is space, I decided to buy some flowers and plants to plant.

"What kind of partners do you like?" Shen Long asked. He knows that plants also have a companion relationship. Some plants are beneficial to each other when they live together, while others will interfere with the growth of other plants, so ask in advance Just be clear; as for growing vegetables, he has already planned to give up, and cleaning up the smog is more important.

"You can get some shrubs and grass. The best way is to mix multi-layered plants." With the sound of leaves, these trees, flowers and plants discussed the results, and reported a series of names to Shen Long. Shen Long Quickly write down one by one.

On the way to the flower market, Shen Long checked the information and found that the mixed forest of various plants is more conducive to the growth of plants. The mixed growth of trees, shrubs and grasses can use resources as much as possible and provide mutual help. Although the tree standing there looks good, it is not conducive to the growth of plants.

Shrubs are easier to deal with. There are many merchants selling ornamental shrubs in the market. After a while, they can get enough of the types they need, but weeds are a bit troublesome. There are also shops selling morning glory and alfalfa with some flowers. But pure weeds like dogtail grass, the shopkeepers have always treated them as enemies to clean them up.

In the end, I followed a shopkeeper to his plantation, dug up some corners and took them home; according to the instructions of pine trees and neem trees, these shrubs and flowers were planted in different places, and then watered , read a spell to help them grow up healthily.

Going back to the room and taking a nap, when he woke up the next day, Shen Long's yard was completely different, all kinds of plants were well arranged, from the branches to the leaves all exuded a spirit, which was different from those outside. The lifeless street trees are completely different; the air in the yard is much fresher than yesterday.

Although it was not as good as the air in Fangorn Forest and Rivendell, it was much better than the horse farms in the outskirts. After exercising in the yard, Shen Long didn't feel any discomfort in his lungs, and felt extraordinarily refreshed.

Let’s look at the tobacco leaves in the flower pot again. These tender seedlings have grown a lot, and there are differences between species. The bottom pair of long bottom leaves are much larger than the other leaves. Old Toby The leaves are slightly wider, and there are a few small spots on the leaf stem of Nanxing, which look like stars.

It looks like it will be ripe for harvest in a week or so. I wonder what is the difference between the hobbit tobacco grown in the real world and the one grown in Shire?

After exercising, he started a new busy day. He found a few people in the plant-related industry on the shortlist and invited them to have a meal, and they readily accepted.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the guests came one after another. As soon as these people came in, they realized that something was wrong, and they all sniffed. It was not because they smelled the aroma of food, but because they felt the strangeness of the air.

"Master Shen, what kind of air purifier do you use here? The effect is so good? The smog is clean enough!" someone asked.
