Chapter 1934: The Little Seed That Looks Like a Landmine
After getting familiar with the tiger, Xia Qing specifically took this seed that looked like a small landmine, and while the old wolf went to the 50th Mountain to deliver prey to the tiger, she ran over to ask the tiger if it knew what kind of plant this seed was, and where such plants grew in its territory.
The old wolf also had no way to accurately translate Xia Qing's questions to the tiger.
Because tigers and wolves are carnivorous animals, plants are not within the scope of their attention, so there is no word for "seed" in wolf language and tiger language.
Finally, Xia Qing decided to turn over a 4-square-meter plot of land in the terraced fields of the 1st shed to plant this precious seed.
Once it sprouts and grows up, she will be able to know what kind of plant it is and why it can emit a Yi element magnetic field.
To create a good growth environment for this seed, Xia Qing used the high-Yi element formula manure specifically for cultivating X-3 spinach.
After planting the landmine seed, Xia Qing erected a sign in the center of this plot and surrounded it with thorns on all four sides.
Then, she called the one sheep, three monkeys, and one pig in the territory, and warned them not to enter this plot, otherwise they would be severely punished, "If Boss enters this plot, or lets the little yellow cow enter this plot, I will cut all your pasture and sell it, do you understand?"
The stubborn Sheep Boss squinted and stared at Xia Qing with an unhappy face.
"Very good, Boss remembered, I believe Boss can definitely do it, because this is an important crop in our territory. Dai Gua, Does Ergua, Blue-Face, if you enter this plot and destroy the plants here, I will deduct your two months' salary, do you remember?"
"Yi!" The three little monkeys answered in unison, loudly.
"Yi." The Guapi little pig, which was getting stronger day by day, followed with a monkey-like sound.
Xia Qing exhorted the Blue-Face little monkey, "Blue-Face, watch Guapi, don't let it root around the fence on the edge of the vegetable field, the spikes on it will hurt its skin."
Although Guapi is a wild boar, it is still young, and its skin is still very fragile and easy to get hurt.
"Yi." The Blue-Face little monkey responded loudly and hugged its companion with its little arms.
Xia Qing turned her head and warned the two red squirrels wagging their tails outside the insect-proof net with murderous intent, "And you two! Free-loaders, Qiang Zai, if you dare to come in and dig for food for my precious plants, I will dig out all your food and catch your cubs to work for me to pay off the debt!"
The two squirrels weren't smart enough to understand Xia Qing's warning. The white-haired Dai Gua and black-haired Does Ergua squatting beside Xia Qing hugged each other, the green-haired Blue-Face little monkey hugged its companion Guapi tightly, and Sheep Boss continued to chew the cud with its eyes squinted.
Finally, Xia Qing looked at the red Big Mao who was wandering around in the bushes looking for prey, "Big Mao, help me watch, don't let any creatures destroy my big shed."
"Ying ying~~"
Red Big Mao's brain-domain evolution degree wasn't high enough, and it didn't quite understand Xia Qing's words, only knowing that Xia Qing was talking to it, so it drilled out and responded to her twice. After finding that Xia Qing didn't come out to apply medicine to it, it drilled into the woods and continued to look for prey.
"Very good, I believe everyone will follow the rules and not intentionally destroy the high-quality crops in our territory."
After warning all the animals, Xia Qing began to assign tasks to everyone this morning, "Dai Gua, you take samples of the soil in each shed to detect microbial activity, and then fill in the detection data and send it to me; Does Ergua, you go to the 7th shed to catch insects in the soil, be careful not to destroy the roots of wheat and sweet potatoes; Blue-Face, you take Guapi to catch insects to feed the fish and chickens; Boss, you go home and lead the little yellow cow out, and let it eat grass at the entrance of the village."
After the companions left,
After two years of growth, the two green-light grapevines Xia Qing planted had already covered the trellis. But it was only early March, and the grapevines had just sprouted, so they couldn't completely block Xia Qing's figure. Therefore, she needed to pull open the shade net first to block the view from the air.
After crawling to the entrance of the unpolluted spring cave, Xia Qing moved the stones blocking the entrance, leaned inside, and turned on her flashlight to check the five Qi-Wither Grass plants transplanted from Mount Fifty-Five.
At this sight, Xia Qing's heart ached: the leaves of all five Qi-Wither Grass plants had turned to water and disappeared.
Qi-Wither Grass has extremely high requirements for water quality. Although they were only soaked by the rising water from the Python Pool for less than half an hour, it was enough to make them lose their vitality. These precious medicinal herbs, with each leaf worth 50,000 points, had just disappeared like that...
What to do if they're gone? Replant them!
Xia Qing packed the gravel and soil from the depression in the stone into a bag, cleaned the stone with the slowly flowing unpolluted spring water, replaced it with high-quality formula soil, and then buried all 22 Qi-Wither Grass seeds she had saved last year into the soil.
Based on the planting experience Xia Qing accumulated last year, the germination rate of Qi-Wither Grass seeds is around 35%; these seeds should be able to grow 7-8 Qi-Wither Grass plants. If all goes well, she can harvest the leaves to trade for points next year.
After planting the Qi-Wither Grass, Xia Qing sealed the cave, sprayed scent-isolating agent around it, and after eliminating the traces of activity on the ground, she opened the shade net to check the vegetable seedlings she had planted.
Although the artificial climate culture room simulates an environment most suitable for plant growth, it is significantly different from natural light, wind speed, temperature, and humidity.
The cucumber seedlings transplanted in the morning had already wilted under the scorching sun.
Xia Qing is now a very experienced farmer and wouldn't worry because the newly transplanted seedlings were wilted, nor would she do the silly thing of using small wooden sticks to prop up wilted vegetable seedlings again.
She listened carefully, and after confirming there were no insects gnawing on the plant roots in the terrace soil, she turned on the terrace's automatic irrigation system.
After confirming that the drip irrigation pipes were dispensing water normally, Xia Qing carried her hoe and walked down to check on the green-light bee colony.
Before she even reached the entrance of the beekeeping greenhouse, Yang Jin called her, "Are you busy today, Sister Qing?"
Xia Qing asked calmly, "Not busy, what's the mission?"
When necessary, Xia Qing must participate in missions with the Azure Dragon Team as a top-tier sniper; this is one of the two conditions for her to purchase sniper rounds from the Azure Dragon Team at a discounted price. The other condition is that she and Yang Jin pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
This time, it was the first time Yang Jin had asked Xia Qing to go on a mission since they reached their agreement.
Luo Pei was away and hadn't returned, and Yang Jin was injured. Since he had spoken, Xia Qing wouldn't refuse.
Yang Jin smiled and introduced the mission content, "Huo Zhun and Wang Man brought back 40 tons of ore with a whale, and they will arrive at the coastal area of the Hui Three Base at five o'clock this afternoon. Can Sister Qing go with the Azure Dragon Third Team, Di Ming, and Wu Wu Lianmin to meet them and transport the ore back to Mount Forty-Nine?"
Xia Qing suspected she had auditory hallucinations, "Brother Jin, are you saying: the two of them teamed up with a whale and dragged 40 tons of ore back from the Ruins Continent?"
Is this even possible? Has the Blue Star gone crazy to this extent?
