Chapter 1933: The Old Wolf with Changed Fur Color

When Xia Qing washed herself clean and changed into clothes and went downstairs, Sheep Boss, the Blue-Face little monkey, and Guapi little pig had already left the living room. The wet notched-ear wolf was lying on the grass mat in the living room, and the old wolf was squatting beside it, licking the fur on its hind neck unhurriedly.

The notched-ear wolf squinted its eyes, its expression very enjoyable.

The illnesses of these two wolves were both cured by Xia Qing. It was precisely because she had seen the listless appearance of these two wolves when they were at their weakest that she found this scene particularly precious. However, she didn't take out her mobile phone to record it, because the old wolf didn't like being recorded or photographed.

Xia Qing went downstairs first to the first-floor bathroom, took a large dry towel from the cabinet, "Fourth Old, I'll wipe the fur for Notched-ear, you go wash too, I'll comb your fur later."

Spring is the season for wolves to change their fur. Bathing and combing will make them feel comfortable.

The old wolf made way for Xia Qing to wipe the fur for the notched-ear wolf. It took out its mobile phone from its wolf-belly bag, found the photo of the black giant wolf in the album, and looked up at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing took a look and asked, "What's wrong with the Black Wolf King? Did it also join your wolf pack?"

The old wolf with gray fur looked at the snow-white Saki monkey hiding in the tree nest and looked at Xia Qing again.

Xia Qing understood, "You want to dye your fur black like the Black Wolf King?"

The old wolf with a calm face nodded.

The old wolf's sclera was pure white, and its fur was close to gray-white. This fur color had an excellent hiding effect in winter, but it was more conspicuous in the evolved forest in spring, summer, and autumn. The old wolf wanted to change its fur color after finding that Dai Gua and the Blue-Face little monkey had changed their fur colors, which was reasonable and understandable.

However, black is not the best color.

Wolves have dichromatic vision, and humans have trichromatic vision. Colors that look very hidden in the eyes of wolves are not so in the eyes of humans.

Xia Qing, a conscientious middleman, asked about the client's true needs, "The purpose of your dyeing your fur is that you don't want humans to find you easily, right? If you are active on mountains without many trees, brown-yellow fur is more hidden than black fur..."

The old wolf looked at Xia Qing calmly.

Xia Qing understood, "You just want to dye it this color? Sure. When do you want to dye it?... Now? I don't have black hair dye here. You wait for me to ask Third Brother to see if he can have Brother Song prepare it immediately..."

"Yi..." Does Ergua, hearing about dyeing, immediately poked its head out of the tree nest, looking at Xia Qing eagerly.

Xia Qing asked, "Does Does Ergua want to dye it what color?"

"Yi." Does Ergua responded, jumped out of the tree nest, climbed onto Xia Qing, and grabbed a strand of her hair with its little claws.

Xia Qing...

"Does Does Ergua also want to dye it black?"

"Yi!"

"Black absorbs heat in summer, is Does Ergua sure?"

"Yi!"

"Okay, you and Fourth Old can just use the same bottle of dyeing agent... Fourth Old, what's wrong? Notched-ear also wants to dye it? Okay, I'll ask."

Xia Qing coughed, cleared her throat, dialed her idol's phone, and made a request to exchange for black hair dye and cloth dye.

After Zhang San heard her talk about the purpose of the hair dye, he stared at the old wolf squeezed into the same screen as her for two seconds, and ended the call without saying anything.

Xia Qing put down her mobile phone and turned around with a brilliant smile, "Fourth Old, you go open the shower head and put water in the wooden bucket to take a bath, the hair dye will be delivered in a while."

The old wolf then turned and went to the bathroom, putting water to prepare for a bath.

After Xia Qing wiped the fur of the notched-ear wolf dry, she skillfully combed its fur, then let it watch TV with Does Ergua, and seized the time to eat.

If she didn't eat, the green-light deer meat she stewed would be cold.

An hour and a half later, Xia Qing squatted in her living room, checking the protective clothing brought by the two white-eyed wolves whose fur was dyed pitch-black.

After confirming that there was no problem with the protective clothing, Xia Qing put the points card for the protective clothing into the wolf-belly bag dyed black, and put it on the notched-ear wolf.

Then, she transferred the bounty points of Qu Qu Fangzhou and the rewards issued by the Hui 3 base to the old wolf's card, and looked at this old wolf who looked unusually mysterious after changing its color, Xia Qing felt uneasy, "Fourth Old, you dyed your fur black, what do you want to do? You must not take risks, you are the backbone of the Southern wolf pack, and you are a backbone member of our Blue Star Alliance. If something happens to you, can the Green-Eyed Wolf King and the notched-ear wolf support the Southern wolf pack?"

The notched-ear wolf, who had changed its fur color, was unhappy and roared fiercely, revealing its fangs. After the gray-black fur was dyed pitch-black, this fellow looked even more fierce.

The old wolf knew that Xia Qing was worried about it, leaned over and rubbed her head, and the notched-ear wolf also leaned over, rubbing Xia Qing's head full of fur, and then the two wolves brushed their faces and left Xia Qing's home, disappearing into the vast night.

Black wolves have excellent concealment in the night. Xia Qing sent a message to Er Yong, so as not to call her to report abnormalities after seeing the two black wolves.

Then, Xia Qing didn't consider what the old wolf was going to do after dyeing its fur, put on night vision goggles, changed into protective clothing, and started night training.

Whether it was combat power, brain power, or experience, the old wolf was better than her in every way. Instead of worrying about the strong, it was better to settle down and improve her combat power.

After completing the night training, she still had to read papers and write inspection reports...

On the sixth day after the rain, Xia Qing transplanted the vegetable seedlings raised in the artificial climate culture room into the terraced fields and planting greenhouses, and the empty farmland was also planted full.

In addition to 5 acres of winter wheat, 4.5 acres of substitute grain vegetables (pasture), and 2 acres of green-light rice, she planted 1 acre of green-light mung beans, half an acre of green-light black-skinned peanuts, half an acre of green-light oil sunflower, half an acre of green-light cotton, half an acre of green-light corn, and half an acre of yellow-light potatoes.

The places where seedlings were missing in the winter wheat shed were planted full of green-light sweet potato seedlings by Xia Qing.

In the terraced fields, Xia Qing planted vegetables such as spinach, eggplant, cucumber, chili, beans, pumpkin, peas, green onion, and chives.

It is very difficult to improve the quality of potatoes, but the yield is very high. Xia Qing planted potatoes not for consumption, but to sell them for points.

Besides the yellow-light potatoes, Xia Qing also planted another crop of yellow-light quality in her territory: the large melon seeds she exchanged with Tang Huai for green-light oil sunflower seeds, which had a Qi element content of 6.7‰. These large melon seeds weren't for pressing oil, but were edible sunflower seeds—the kind specifically for stir-frying and eating.

Xia Qing is not short of high-quality food now, but she is very interested in breeding, and planting big sunflower seeds is to try to see if she can improve its quality.

The soybeans brought back from the bird valley of the 45th Mountain by Xia Qing last year were confirmed by Zhang Tao in the laboratory to have a symbiotic relationship with the blood-red vines in the bird valley: if you only plant soybeans without planting blood-red vines, the quality of the soybeans will drop very quickly.

Therefore, Xia Qing took the remaining 2,240 green-light soybeans and 1,981 yellow-light soybeans back to the 45th Mountain and scattered them in the bird valley; half were sent to the 7th Territory for breeding research.

The 24 optimized seeds selected by Little Xiao Feimao were all scattered back to the bird valley by Xia Qing. The seeds would sprout soon, and her 001 employee hadn't returned to the territory yet.

This year, the key crops Xia Qing cultivated, besides spinach, large melon seeds, and potatoes, included one more: the seed she brought back from the cave where Pian Hu lived on Mount Thirty-One, which looked like a small landmine and emitted a Yi element magnetic field.
