Chapter 665: Changes in the Grass
The sheep boss angrily rushed over to teach his younger brother a lesson. He raised his nose and sniffed, and his eyes immediately widened, "Hey~~~"
"Yes! I found delicious green lettuce!" Xia Qing, who was about to be knocked off a few times, secretly rejoiced and immediately broke off a lettuce leaf and handed it over, "Boss, please try it quickly, it's fresh."
The sheep boss picked up the lettuce leaf and chewed it quickly, staring at the big lettuce in Xia Qing's hand.
"All the leaves on this big lettuce belong to you. I'll eat them all! Come on, let's go home and eat. I'm exhausted from working all day and night. Boss, have you fed the fish or chickens..." As he spoke, Xia Qing He also raised his hand to say hello to Guan Tong on the big tree in the distance.
No need to ask, Boss Yang must have lost his temper and started a fight with Guan Tong again.
Seeing Xia Qing coaxing the violent and angry sheep home with just a vegetable, Guan Tong, who was in pain all over, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Xia Qing went home and coaxed her eldest son, she said hello to the weasel family in the sheep shed, and then began to inspect her home and the deserted village to make sure there were no snakes killed. Then she took a quick shower, changed into cool clothes, and put on some cool clothes. Level 3 outdoor protective clothing to patrol your territory.
Seeing Xia Qing going out, the sheep boss who was nibbling vegetable leaves immediately followed.
"Chen Zheng and Chen Cheng patrolled around every two hours and found no dead snakes, and the water samples tested normal." Guan Tong reported the situation in the territory to Xia Qing. When he saw the sheep boss staring at him with squinted eyes, he didn't mention it. Regarding being chased and beaten by the sheep boss, "Sister Qing, how many snakes did you and our boss catch?"
Xia Qing replied, "Except for the nest we found on Hill 49, we caught five on Hill 50 and 26 on Hill 55. You later found the nest on Hill 49. Is there a snake?”
"No." Guan Tong shook his head, "Why did so many snakes suddenly appear? Isn't it going to cause another catastrophe? If it continues, humankind will really become extinct."
No one can answer this question.
Last year, there were no major natural disasters in Huisan, and the population dropped by 90,000. If the number of snake bites increases, it will definitely bring more casualties.
Because the number of snake bites has increased significantly, in addition to the number of people who died from being bitten or drinking contaminated water, there are also people who have been lost due to the chain reaction caused by snake bites. For example, animals that prey on snakes are poisoned and die in large numbers, and human activities are restricted and unable to obtain sufficient food from evolutionary forests.
Xia Qing handed the ribs for Luo Pei to Guan Tong, and after sending him away from Territory No. 3, he and Mr. Yang sat by the high-slope terraces, quietly overlooking the terraces. The seeds Xia Qing sown seven days ago have taken root, sprouted and sprouted from the ground. One look at it will make you feel full of energy.
If the blue star creatures stop their crazy evolution, it would be good to maintain the current balance.
But, this is not something she can say.
Therefore, Xia Qing can only adjust his physical and mental state and continue to become stronger in order to survive.
Although there are more snakes, she has evolved the ability to sense snakes, so this incident has no impact on her.
Xia Qing rubbed the head of the sheep boss, stood up and walked down, inspecting the terraces. The sheep boss also stood up and followed Xia Qing down.
Xia Qing didn't come back all night, and the sheep boss didn't have a good rest all night, but compared to sleeping, keeping up with his younger brother was more important to him.
It was afraid that if Xia Qing ran away for one night and didn't come back, it would be the only sheep left in the territory.
"Hey——" The sheep boss stopped at a terraced field and refused to leave.
Xia Qing, who was walking in front, also stopped. Following the gaze of the sheep boss, he guessed its purpose, "These are peas. Boss, do you want to try them?"
The peas were exchanged for her by Zhong Tao and Zheng Kui. They were a plant species that Boss Yang had never seen before.
"Mea~"
"Okay, I'll pinch some leaves for the boss to try." Xia Qing opened the thorn fence of the terraced field to guard against sheep, walked in and picked up the fast-growing plants, and pinched a few small leaves for the boss.
The sheep boss couldn't eat enough and continued to stare at the seedlings in the field. It seems that it thinks the yellow pea shoots taste pretty good.
"This little seedling has just grown, and it will go bald if I pinch it again. I will pinch it for the boss in half a month and eat it." Xia Qing rubbed the small curly hair on his companion's head.
Xia Qing stopped feeding it, and the sheep boss didn't make any fuss and continued to follow Xia Qing down.
When they reached the spinach terraces, Xia Qing began to pull out the grass growing out of the fields.
The small spinach seedlings have two slender green leaves on the light purple stems, which look similar to the grass in the field. Last year, Xia Qing didn't dare to pull weeds at this stage for fear of pulling the wrong one. But this year, Xia Qing can already chat with the sheep boss while pulling weeds.
"Boss, it's so dangerous outside, it's better to be in our territory."
"Hey." The sheep boss said casually, lying outside the thorn fence, squinting his eyes.
"I saw four giant pythons on Mountain No. 55. The largest one must have been fifteen meters long. But I still successfully completed the task and collected the herbs."
"Mea."
"The boss is also very powerful. He protected our territory very well when I was away, and also fed the fish and chickens."
"Hey..." The sheep boss responded in a low voice, his head sank, and he fell asleep.
Currently, only 150 ordinary spinach seeds and 150 Gaoyi element spinach seeds are planted in the spinach terraces. In order to maximize the use of the Yi stone here, Xia Qing also buried five green light purple potatoes and fifteen green light sweet potatoes on the four sides of the Gaoyi element spinach patch to raise seedlings.
Yesterday, when Xia Qing went to inspect the hidden valley, he found that the sweet potatoes growing in the valley had sprouted, but the sweet potatoes and purple potatoes in the terraces had not sprouted.
The soil here is very fertile, but the temperature is probably not up to standard.
"Meeh." The sheep boss, who had taken a nap, opened his eyes and found Xia Qing motionless. He stood up and bleated.
"It's okay." Xia Qing patted the dirt on her gloves and stood up. "I just saw that the sweet potatoes hadn't sprouted, and I was thinking about whether to dig them up and see."
She was anxious again.
One person and one sheep continued to walk down, passing through the old isolation belt and entering the low-slope terraces. Xia Qing listened carefully, looked at the sky again, and confirmed that there were no scout birds or people monitoring over or outside the territory. After that, she let the sheep boss rest assured and sleep here for a while. She went into the spring cave and turned on the flashlight to carefully check the growth of the scorpion grass.
The number of scorpion snakes increased, and scorpion grass became more important as the main medicinal material for the detoxification of scorpion snakes.
The scorpion grass whose leaves had not been cut grew flower stems last winter, and in January this year, fourteen small flowers bloomed and produced flower seeds.
It is early March now, the flower stems have not withered yet, and the flower seeds are still growing on them, not falling off.
The "Guide to Cultivating the Weeds" Zhang San gave her said that the seeds of the weeds are mature only when they fall off naturally, so Xia Qing did not touch the seeds, and looked at them twice a day, patiently waiting for them to fall off.
She turned the flashlight to the weeds next to her. This weed had seven leaves cut off, and no flower stems grew.
Wait!
Xia Qing closed her eyes for a few seconds, and then opened them as wide as possible.
Because this plant is colorless and transparent, even if Xia Qing has the ninth level of visual evolution ability, she still dared not believe her eyes.
The place where the leaves of this weed were cut off, which is called the "axil" in the "Cultivation Guide", seems to have sprouted a small bud?
She took out her mobile phone and took more than a dozen photos from various angles. After getting out of the cave, she enlarged the mobile phone picture and confirmed that the axils of this weed really had side buds.
And there was more than one!
The "Cultivation Guide" given to her by her third brother said that the sedge only has top buds and no side buds. What's wrong with the one in her territory? (End of this chapter)
