"Do you see the pile of sand bags in front of you?" Cheng Liang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the slightly arched sand bag not far from Su Wanwan's left, and said, "That, it's hay!"

What? Sand bales are hay?

Su Wanwan was interrupted from her thoughts, and turned her head suspiciously, not understanding how that pile of sand could be hay?

Looking at it again, Su Wanwan saw that there were two or three slender withered leaves hanging above the sand bag, this leaf looked shriveled and shriveled, hanging on top of the sand, and even the color of the withered yellow was very similar to the sand, if it wasn't for Cheng Liang pointing it out, Su Wanwan wouldn't have found it at all!

Looking at the lifeless appearance of the hay, Su Wanwan felt a little incredible, and said with emotion: "It turns out that the hay looks like this?"

"Hay grass looks like this during the day, and when the sun goes down, it will be different!" Seeing that Su Wanwan was very curious, Cheng Liang explained, "Don't look at the withered appearance of hay, in fact, its root system is very developed, it can survive anywhere, in order to absorb enough nutrients, its roots are very deep! After nightfall, it will not take long for new branches and leaves and flowers to grow again, and when the flowers are in full bloom, the pungent smell will be emitted, attracting small animals and small insects around."

"Although this snail vein is rich in minerals, but due to long-term mining, the surrounding vegetation has long been destroyed, and after a long time, it will cause the soil to be barren, and those animals can still run to other areas, but the plants can't!" Cheng Liang looked into the distance, with a serious face, and continued, "As the saying goes, the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated!

According to what Cheng Liang just said, Su Wanwan's mind was so quick that she rearranged and sorted the existing clues......

First, when the hay blooms at night, it emits a pungent smell that attracts small animals and insects.

Second, the yellow-spotted scorpion is nocturnal and will come out to feed after the sun goes down.

Thirdly, the soil in the open space is darker, and if the speculation is correct, it is the dead branches and leaves that fall from the hay itself that become nutrients, which fertilizes the soil and allows it to reabsorb itself.

Although there are many clues, there are also more problems......

First of all, why does hay emit a pungent smell to attract small animals and insects? Is it for pollination?

But when I think about it, when the hay reaches the daytime, when the sun shines, the stems, leaves, and flowers will wither, and even if the pollination is successful, it will not be able to bloom and bear fruit!

Secondly, Cheng Liang said that because of the mining of the Luolei vein, the land is barren and the animals around the vein have left, so why does the yellow-spotted scorpion stay alone?

Regardless of the reason for the stay, this macular scorpion is a carnivore, and it is large, and it has a magic weapon - venom! Even if it survives elsewhere, it should be the overlord at the top of the predator, but it just stays in this snail vein where food is scarce.

Finally, hay and yellow-spotted scorpions seem to be unrelated to each other, but they live together in the same area, what is the connection between them?

Su Wanwan thought about it, but she didn't understand the reason, but she felt that it must have something to do with the pungent smell of hay!

Su Wanwan thought as she walked behind Cheng Liang, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the miner's accommodation area.

"The accommodation area has arrived!" Cheng Liang put the wooden stick on the ground, supported it with both hands, and stepped up the high steps with his right foot, and said, "There are a few old people and children who are still having a fever, I don't worry, I have to go and see them, you wait here for a while, and when I come back, I will take you around!"

"No, no!" Su Wanwan still wanted to find some other useful clues by herself, time was limited, if Cheng Liang followed, he would not be able to walk fast if his leg was injured, and he would definitely slow down the progress of the task, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "If you have something to do, go and get busy first! I'll just look around by myself, don't worry! I can protect myself!"

"This ......" Cheng Liang hesitated for a while, seeing that Su Wanwan's attitude was firm, and it was not easy to be reluctant, so he had to tell again and again, "The accommodation area is complicated now, you can just stroll around in the aisle, don't have a conflict with them! Also, the sun is about to set, remember to stay away from the open space, pay attention to safety!"

Seeing Su Wanwan nodding in response, Cheng Liang turned around and left with confidence.

Standing in front of the miners' accommodation, Su Wanwan's eyes swept around, only to find that the miners' accommodation area was facing the mine, backed by the southeast-trending mountains, and the west side was the entrance of the Luolei Mine, with the open space where the yellow-spotted scorpion lived in the middle.

The east side of the accommodation area was cut in half by the southeast-trending mountain range, leaving only a length of 100 meters wide.

"I'd better take a look around first!"

There is no clue about the task, Su Wanwan plans to walk around first, the accommodation area is mixed, although it is not safe, but the more people there are, the more gossip, which means that the more news, maybe there will be useful information for the task!

Su Wanwan's eyes swept towards the accommodation area, and she just saw candlelight in the room by the corridor on the left.

There are people there!

The corners of Su Wanwan's mouth curled, and she walked lightly to the side of the corridor, and when she got closer, she heard the voices of the three of them in this room......

Miner A, who had a male duck's voice, pressed the joints of his arm, sighed, and sighed: "Alas, my arm is sore and painful, and it seems that the sky is about to change!"

"It's not just about changing the sky!" Miner Yi, who had a young voice, snorted coldly and said alarmistly, "In my opinion, such a big thing has happened to this snail vein, I'm afraid it won't be able to open!"

"What? Then aren't we all going to be unemployed!" When the honest miner C heard this, he was worried and said with a sad face, "I am old and young, and my family is still waiting for me to support me!

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Miner A glanced at Miner B, turned his head and comforted, "The ore production of the Luolei vein is so high, and there is the personal support of Lord Hu Qing, how can you say that it will be closed!"

The absentee general asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"I never tell nonsense!" miner A nodded.

Miner B snorted coldly again, don't look over.

In fact, Miner A was also beating a drum in his heart, but he was still very calm on his face, he saw that Miner C rekindled his hope, and he was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would show his feet, so he immediately changed the topic, "By the way, do you still have anything to eat? It's night, I'm a little hungry!"

Miner C stretched out his hand and groped behind his back, took out two multigrain steamed buns, and put them in front of him: "There are only two steamed buns left!"

Miner B quickly grabbed one of the multigrain steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth, and after two bites, there was only half left, and his mouth was still broken: "What kind of steamed bun is this! It's so hard, it makes my teeth hurt!"

Miner A rolled his eyes, opened his mouth, but still endured not swearing, he broke the remaining multigrain steamed buns in half, and handed half to miner C: "Eat quickly!

"Go to the kitchen to find something to eat?" Miner B swallowed the last bite of steamed buns and struck, "It's an extraordinary time, what do you think is left of that little thing in the kitchen?"

Miner C made a bitter face, took small bites of multigrain steamed buns, and suddenly proposed: "Or, I'll dig the rhizome of hay, I heard that the rhizome grows like a potato, and it can be eaten!"

"What do you want!" Miner A replied with his eyes kicking his eyes and refusing to think about it, "Is that something you can think about? Not to mention that it's almost night, and the yellow-spotted scorpion is about to come out to move! Even if it's broad daylight, aren't you afraid of alarming the yellow-spotted scorpion when digging rhizomes?"

When Miner C heard this, he was immediately discouraged: "It's me who didn't think about it, I forgot that the nest of the yellow-spotted scorpion is under the rhizome of the hay......"

Miner A patted him on the shoulder and reassured: "Don't think about it, there will always be a way!"

Su Wanwan stood outside the window, secretly happy in her heart, and sure enough, she got useful information.
