14. Deliver a grass turtle while various tasks are in progress
Open up wasteland, clean up fish ponds, and deliver babies to pregnant women with hundred-year-old grass turtles.
Yi Xiaoyang felt that he was very busy, and it took only two days to come to his grandmother's house, and things were piled up.
The follow-up bonus task of the quest [Attack on the Grass Turtle] is to deliver the hundred-year-old grass turtle.
The tip for the quest is to find a warm place for it to lay its eggs, and at the same time catch the loaches from the fish pond to feed it, preferably with some lean meat, and then wait for the eggs to hatch and put the baby grass turtles back into the fish pond to feed, there will be a surprise.
Asked Xiong Yuanyuan to go back to his grandmother's house to get the lean meat in the refrigerator, Yi Xiaoyang dug up some dry soil and weeds into the cave, made a beach by the puddle where the most sunlight could be blessed, and hugged the hundred-year-old female grass turtle, and then went to the fish pond with Shuwa to dig loaches.
There are still a lot of loaches in the fish pond, and they are all fat, and it seems that the grass turtle family was still restrained when they lived in it, as if they deliberately let the loaches multiply, and did not eat them all at once.
Yi Xiaoyang and Shuwa caught dozens of loaches of different sizes in one go, not only for the grass turtle to eat, but also to add dishes when they were taken back to their grandmother's house at night.
Xiong Yuanyuan brought a small half pot of minced lean meat, and added a few eggs to stir in it.
Yi Xiaoyang personally fed the hundred-year-old female grass turtle, and also made a pit in the muddy beach, which meant that the turtle eggs were laid in it, and he didn't know if the female turtle understood it.
After a few glances, the eggs of the grass turtle are greatly affected by the temperature, and it takes fifty days at the fastest and ninety days at the slowest to hatch.
This time seems to be a bit long for Yi Xiaoyang, he can't come to see it every day, his turtle father is not so responsible.
It's just that there's no rush now, just wait for the eggs to be laid.
Properly arranged, Yi Xiaoyang sorted out the things in his hand, and felt that the first task of the main line of the game system should be completed first, and several days had passed, and he always kept doing side quests, so the game plot could not be advanced.
Although the system doesn't give him a time limit now, the devil knows if he will be fun when his temper comes.
The first small quest of the main quest [Call of the Mountain] is to open up a wasteland.
Yi Xiaoyang has already done part of this matter, and the rocks in the wasteland designated by the system have been almost cleaned up, and at this time, the broken stones are piled up next to the broken wooden house, and they will be used to build walls at that time.
After the rocks are cleared, we will be weededed.
I have to say that the herbicides rewarded by the system are awesome, Yi Xiaoyang was still thinking, no matter how to use herbicides, he had to clean them up by himself for the first time, after all, the main role of herbicides is to stop weeds from growing.
But this herbicide is different, the description says that if the herbicide is diluted and sprinkled on the weeds, it will die quickly, and then it will be integrated into the soil and converted into fertilizer to increase the fertility of the land.
In this way, Yi Xiaoyang was relaxed, and the herbicide was sprinkled in less than ten minutes, don't look at the area of almost one acre of land that has been cleared, it seems that it is not difficult to get it.
After the rocks were cleared, the soil was not thick enough, Yi Xiaoyang and Shuwa dug some pond mud together and spread it on it, and it looked much fuller.
After finishing the pond mud, Yi Xiaoyang began to think again, what is good to plant in this land?
The system requirement is to grow grain, but with an area of one acre of land, it seems that there is no intention in growing staple food, but what about potatoes? Potatoes are crops that are considered both grain and vegetables.
Yi Xiaoyang made a decision in his heart, but remembered that he had to solve the problem of water source before planting potatoes.
The water from the mountain that Uncle Yi Jiangshan said was not close to the fish pond, and a canal had to be dug to bring the water over.
But digging such a long canal is by no means an easy task, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, there are only two people, myself and Shuwa, how many days do you have to dig it?
Digging this ditch is not simple, it does not mean that you can dig a ditch in the soil at will, the water flow down the mountain itself is not large, if you use the earth ditch to divert water, it is estimated that the water will be absorbed by the soil before you reach this side.
The canal that can lead the water must be equipped with stone slabs and cement to strengthen the waterproofing.
Yi Xiaoyang also thought of a solution, which was to dig a reservoir where the water flowed, and then buy a water pipe to connect it to this place and bring the water over.
But it feels like digging a canal and it takes about the same amount of energy.
Yi Xiaoyang was a little irritable for a while, squatting on the ground and grabbing the mud in his hands.
"Hey!"
"It hurts!"
In the middle of the lump of mud that he had just grasped in his hand, something sharp pierced his hand.
Carefully break the mud, and a small piece of bamboo appeared in Yi Xiaoyang's sight.
The bamboo piece was only as wide as a fingernail, and the length of half a finger looked like a very old bamboo piece, a little dry and yellow, and it was estimated that if it hadn't been buried in the soil, it would have weathered into slag long ago.
The sudden appearance of bamboo slices made Yi Xiaoyang's mind sober up a lot.
Bamboo tube to divert water!
Some images appeared in Yi Xiaoyang's mind, which was a primitive diagram of the aqueduct.
In a thatched hut in the mountains, the hermit master and his friends sat on the ground, in front of a delicate small stove, and the master was using a bamboo tube to draw water from the water tank beside him and pour it into the stove.
On the top of the water tank, there is a water pipe made of green bamboo, and a steady stream of mountain spring water flows into it.
The bamboo pipe on the top of the water tank is connected to the water, and the bamboo pipe at the bottom leads the water away, so that the water in the water tank does not overflow.
Don't hesitate anymore and just do it.
When Yi Xiaoyang was a child, his favorite thing in the countryside was to go to the bamboo forest to play, and he could find all the bamboo forests in the entire Jindou Village, including other villages.
Yi Xiaoyang was born with an unclear feeling about the plant bamboo, anyway, no matter what bad mood he had, once he got into the bamboo forest, his mood would soon calm down.
Next to my grandmother's house, there is a piece of bamboo, which is suitable for making aqueducts.
Nanzhu, also known as bamboo, is one of the bamboos with the highest economic value, mainly if its bamboo walls are thick enough and the diameter is also very wide, and this kind of bamboo can be seen everywhere. Compared to ornamental bamboo, it has the highest practicality.
Yi Xiaoyang planned the route of water diversion, measured the distance, estimated the amount of bamboo, and marked the piling on the route. Piling is to hold up the bamboo pipe and have a drop on the ground, so as to facilitate the smooth flow of water.
If the whole bamboo pipe is done, it will look like a viaduct on a road, with all the piers below from high to low.
After getting these things done, Yi Xiaoyang was ready to go back to his grandmother's house to cut bamboo, it was getting dark, and he had to go back to make dinner.
On the way home, Yi Xiaoyang always felt that something was missing around him today, and it wasn't until he saw the little black dog running over at his grandmother's house that he understood.
When Yi Xiaoyang saw the little black dog running over, he felt that something was wrong at first glance.
This little guy seems to have grown up a bit, I don't know if it's an illusion of the eyes.
