On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 617 Symbiosis
Looking at this fist-sized bird with plucked feathers, of unknown species, and the weasel holding an unplucked bird in its mouth and looking at her with its black eyes, Xia Qing's first feeling was:
No wonder you almost lost your plucking job, you're really not very good at it.

The second feeling was: What should I do to make this weasel understand that the reason I agreed to let the broken-waisted wolf and the broken-legged wolf stay in the territory to recuperate was not because the alpha wolf sent me prey, but because I received the Yi stone as "medical fee" in advance.

At that time, the weasel brought by the wolf pack only saw the wolf pack delivering prey to Xia Qing, but did not see the wolf pack delivering Yishi. So, was it wrong for it to stay in Xia Qing's territory to raise its cubs and give Xia Qing the prey it caught according to the wolf pack's practice?
No.

An evolved wolf weighing two or three hundred pounds gave Xia Qing a pheasant weighing several pounds but not plucked; a small weasel weighing less than three pounds gave Xia Qing a bird weighing several ounces but plucked. Is there a problem?

No. It must think it is doing better than the wolves.

Xia Qing smiled, bent down and picked up the plucked bird on the ground, and thanked the plucked weasel softly and sincerely, "Thank you for giving me the bird, you are really a very particular wolf. If you can find the two herbs I showed you, you will definitely stand at the top of the pyramid and become the most outstanding weasel on Blue Star."

The plucked weasel saw Xia Qing collect its prey, listened to Xia Qing's words seriously, and without any expression, it took the bird in its mouth and dived into the weeds, disappearing.

Xia Qing took out the poisonous element detector and found that it was a red light bird. He put it in a small basket and handed it to the sick wolf, "Second brother, this bird is a red light. Neither of us can eat it. Feed it to the fish."

The sick wolf happily carried the basket and ran to the breeding greenhouse.

After clearing the weeds and rocks from the five acres of wasteland before noon, Xia Qing looked at the large toon trees on the high slope from afar. The sprayed pesticide was still effective, and no borers were attracted by the smell. The toon buds covered in bags were almost the same as in the morning, and were not growing as wildly as yesterday.

Xia Qing estimated that the big chun tree had passed the most dangerous period and the amount of synthetic elements released was much less than yesterday.

Together with the sick wolf, she drove the chickens back to the greenhouse, picked some green light vegetables, collected three eggs, and went home to cook. The sheep refused to go home and ran to the big tung tree to guard it. Xia Qing let it do that because she had sprayed the tree with pesticides and was not afraid of it releasing gas.

Moreover, in order to protect the tender buds that might emerge from under the big tree, Xia Qing had surrounded the tree with thorns to prevent Yang Lao Da from approaching. After a year of violent communication, Yang Lao Da had understood that plants surrounded by thorns could not be eaten directly, and Xia Qing had to pick them for him before he could eat them.

Big Sheep had no objection to Xia Qing's behavior, because even if it jumped, the toon buds it could reach would be less than one-fifth of the entire tree, and Xia Qing was supposed to pick the toon buds on the top for it to eat.

After a man, a sheep and a wolf left the newly cleared wasteland, many birds landed on the ground to dig for food. The plucked weasel took the opportunity to catch two birds, fed its partner and also had a full meal.

Xia Qing made a sumptuous lunch before opening the rear window and calling Boss Yang back to eat.

After dinner, she took out the sheep plow from the warehouse in the shed, carried it to the edge of the newly cleared field, put the plow cover on the sheep, and hung a bunch of freshly picked Chinese toon buds in a bag in front of it. Then, the sheep started working enthusiastically, so fast that Xia Qing, who was holding the plow, had to trot.

The purpose of this tillage is to dry the soil, pick up stones and grass roots, and remove insects. After the greenhouse is built and the rain has passed, she will sprinkle fertilizer and till the soil once more before sowing. This is a new method introduced in the agricultural knowledge broadcast.

Before the sun set, the five acres of land had been plowed. However, Boss Sheep felt unsatisfied and insisted on continuing plowing.

Xia Qing had no choice but to carry the leveling hoe from home and let the sheep boss pull the hoe and lead him to level the newly plowed land twice and to rake out the grass roots, which saved Xia Qing a lot of work. After venting his excess energy, the sheep boss calmed down, drank water under the shade of the tree, and squinted his eyes to listen to Xia Qing's praise for his ability.

After coaxing the sheep boss to be happy, Xia Qing picked up the backpack and went to pick up the stones in the field. There are many stones in the cultivated land at the foot of the mountain, so picking up stones is an indispensable part of the farming process. Picking up stones can improve soil conditions and allow the seeds to take root and sprout better.

The agricultural knowledge broadcast introduced a land reclamation machine that uses high-strength steel blades to crush gravel and vegetation into stone powder and wood chips. However, that machine is fueled by oil, and the energy consumption is very high, which is far less cost-effective than manual labor.

In Xia Qing's land reclamation, even manual labor was auxiliary, and the main force was sheep workers. Five acres of land consumed the energy of a basin of water and a cluster of Chinese toon buds, which was much lower than the energy consumption of all machines and manual labor.

After it was completely dark, when Yanlong sent Zhang He into Territory No. 3, Xia Qing saw that although she was not wearing an airtight protective suit, she was wearing a breathing mask connected to an oxygen cylinder, and she knew that this gas would also affect her.

Xia Qing really wanted to ask Yanlong and Zhang He if they had any dreams last night, but she didn't dare.

One reason was that she was wearing an airtight protective suit and it was inconvenient for her to speak. The more important reason was that Xia Qing was afraid that Yanlong would be in a state of irritability, so she dragged her to practice. Xia Qing had been busy clearing land and building a greenhouse these days, and being severely beaten would affect her work efficiency.

Zhang He, wearing an airtight protective suit, carefully broke off a bunch of bagged toon buds, tightened the opening and put them into a large bag. Then he took out an air toxin detector and tested it for a while near the branch where the toon buds were broken off. After confirming that the broken opening did not release any synthetic elements to the outside, he began to collect other bags.

The Chinese toon buds were placed a little higher up, and could only be reached by stepping on a ladder. Xia Qing didn't let Zhang He go up, and climbed up the ladder herself.

With Xia Qing's help, 150 bunches of Chinese toon buds in bags were quickly broken off and properly stored. Zhang He handed Xia Qing a new detector, then took out his phone and showed Xia Qing a line of words on the screen:

This is the Yi synthetic element detector. Brother San said he would use it to exchange for your toon buds.

Xia Qing nodded immediately and took it. She was planning to go to the Evolution Forest to look for Yi Evolutionary Plants, and she needed this kind of instrument.

After Yanlong and Zhang He left, Xia Qing received a call from her idol right after finishing her night run. "When this gas reaches a certain concentration, it has a significant impact on power evolvers. It can be said that the toon tree and power evolvers have a symbiotic relationship."

The tree relies on the collision of the power evolutionary animals to drive away the evolutionary borer and prevent it from laying eggs on its branches. The power evolutionary animals obtain energy by gnawing on the high-quality green light toon buds. However, this symbiotic relationship is more harmful than beneficial to both parties.

Xia Qing, standing in the evening breeze, asked in a low voice, "Third brother, why doesn't it attract birds?"

Zhang San responded calmly, "Just like humans cannot control the direction of their own evolution, plants cannot control it either. It is a miracle that it survived. Your stupid sheep attacked you during the first rainstorm last year, not because of excessive amounts of killing elements attacking its brain, causing it to lose control, but because it ingested too much toona sinensis gas and was in a state of irritability, and the excessive killing elements in the rainstorm exacerbated this state."

Xia Qing understood, "So, Big Sheep should have been born after the first killing rain two years ago."
