Chapter 74: The Tree of Life
Standing next to the bottle tree, Canghai reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, took out a small machete from the space, and gently cut a hole in the trunk.
When the blade slashed through the trunk of the tree, a clear stream of water immediately flowed down the trunk, because the sea was not deep, so the current was not large.
The water of the bottle tree can be drunk, some people call it the desert water tower, but Canghai still has no interest in drinking this water, but after observing for a while, he saw that almost the amount of water flowing out of a mineral water bottle, and the water flow at the cut mouth slowly became smaller, and then disappeared.
"How much water have you sucked up this year?" Canghai said, touching the trunk of the bottle tree.
Looking around, Canghai saw that the boundary composed of a bottle tree stretched to the end of his vision along with the undulation of the terrain, and the bottle tree enclosed the land he rented, according to the contract, as long as he did not mine, he was left to his own use.
Chirp!
There was a crisp birdsong in his ears, Canghai followed the sound and looked over, only to see a colorful finch standing not far from his left hand, stretching out two small thin legs and not stopping on the yellow earth to plan, planing for a while, spit out something from his mouth, and after spitting out the small pit that was dug out, he quickly walked his calves and buried the small pit again.
With this done, the little finch flapped its wings and flew away.
With curiosity, Canghai squatted down and looked at the place where the little bird planed the pit, stretched out his fingers and gently dug out the small pit again, the pit was not deep, and gently plucked it twice with his fingers, and the things in the pit were exposed, Canghai took the thing in his hand and looked at it, and found that it was a seed, what was the seed of the specific thing Canghai didn't know, the only thing that was certain was that this thing was a seed.
After planting the seed again, Canghai stood on the top of the slope and looked around, and found that there were still six or seven finches around, doing the same thing as the little finch just now.
With curiosity, after digging two small realms in a row, Canghai found that there was a seed in each pit, but these seeds were not the same.
Birds can grow things?
Canghai pondered for a while, drove the herd of cattle to the place where he planted the seed of life, and when he arrived at the place, Canghai found that in front of him was no longer a few small trees when he left, but developed into a small forest, the forest is not high, that is, about one meter five, originally planted on a small slope, and now the forest has extended to the bottom of the ditch, and at the bottom of the ditch there is a swamp about a few hundred meters long, five or six meters wide, the water is not deep, according to Canghai's estimation, the deepest place is about thirty centimeters.
Seeing that the seed of life had become like this, Canghai scratched the back of his head and muttered, "I have a banyan tree like this?"
He said so, but Canghai knew that it was not a banyan tree, because the banyan tree was a branch that hung from a branch and had a root in the ground, while the seed of life was a new trunk from the root system underground.
Putting his hand on the trunk of a tree, Canghai immediately felt the vigorous vitality of the Seed of Life, and the geographical scope it could convey was much larger than when Canghai left, not only covering the Phoenix Tour and Jiaozituo, but also connecting to the north of the village to the north, to the west to the place where Wenyi planted trees, and to the southeast to the broken slope.
Unconsciously, the Seed of Life also pulled out a small sapling next to Canghai's new kiln, and if it wasn't for the reminder of the Tree of Life, Canghai wouldn't have noticed.
From the information from the seed of life, Canghai learned that the trees on Wenyi's side were not bad, and through a year's hard work, this kid actually planted more than 200 acres of miscellaneous woods, and the growth was okay.
Speaking of returning to the seed of life, now the seed of life wants to green the scope is a bit large, so big that it is beyond the expectations of Canghai, Canghai doesn't mind that the progress over there is faster, but Canghai near the village is not ready to become an oasis in a few years, this thing is a little too scary, a village has turned a barren area into an oasis in a few years, and the country's greening projects do not have this speed, Canghai suspects that he may be pulled to slice.
Sometimes it's better to keep a low profile.
With the seed of life, no, it should be renamed the tree of life now, and after communicating with it, Canghai concentrated the afforestation point on the side of Wenyi, as for the Phoenix ditch and the clamp mound, now it is mainly long grass.
The bird is naturally summoned by the Tree of Life, because it can't tolerate the speed of planting trees in the sea, for the Tree of Life, the more forests it can provide, the more life essence it can provide, and the more it can promote its growth, so the birds summoned by the Tree of Life plant trees, vines and grasses in the places they can control now.
Canghai put his hand on the Tree of Life, feeling the creatures within the territory under its control, many unnamed birds jumped into Canghai's mind one by one, in addition to birds, there were some small animals, such as hares and small hedgehogs.
All of a sudden, the small ecosystem of this land in Canghai seems to have been established.
"Not bad, not bad!" Canghai was very satisfied.
Canghai doesn't know much about the role of the Tree of Life, because the shadow didn't appear again after saying it once, and now it seems to have figured it out a little, for example, the Tree of Life is like a brain, it controls the vegetation of the place, and it can also attract animals that affect the life of this area.
This reminded Canghai of the movie "Avatar" he had seen before, but Canghai didn't have the kind of braid that could be inserted back and forth on his head.
"Take care of all my cattle and sheep," Canghai conveyed the news to the Tree of Life.
Soon the tree of life returned to the sea, which means two words: rest assured.
Originally, he was going to find a good place, but now Canghai directly unloaded the salt on the back of the cow and put it on a higher slope, and then drove the cattle to squat near the salt for a while, and then stopped caring about the livestock group, as long as they knew where there was salt and where there was water, these animals would definitely come over as long as their brains were not caught by the door panel.
After communicating with the tree of life, Canghai took a look at the terrain on the slope, since he decided to make some quick money this year, Canghai has to choose a place to plant watermelons, since he wants the villagers to see the benefits, this watermelon can not be planted less, the harvest of four or five hundred catties is definitely not good, how to say that there must be dozens of acres, so that there can be an explosive effect.
When Canghai was in a daze, Tietou hugged the trunk of the Tree of Life, and the look of the hug was very obscene, and he looked like he was in love with the tree, as if he wanted to use every part of his body to rub the trunk of the Tree of Life.
"Gone!"
Canghai thought of the place, the south slope directly opposite is the watermelon field selected by Canghai, after choosing the watermelon field, Canghai naturally wants to go back, there are still a lot of things to do at home, planting watermelons has not yet started, and the land at home has not completely sown seeds, and now Canghai thinks that his hands are all things.
Iron Head was a little reluctant to the Tree of Life, and a little reluctant to leave it. However, when it saw Canghai turn around, it had to honestly carry its own bamboo pole and follow behind Canghai.
It was a busy time to return to the village, and now it is agricultural time, and the villagers have no time to rest at all, and there is no Sunday saying, and planting seeds in the field a day earlier means that there is a harvest a day earlier.
Back in the village, Canghai decided to hire someone, and it was an impossible task for him to sow the land in a few days.
Fortunately, Canghai was rich, and when he arrived in the town, he hired three people, and planted more than ten acres of his own land in a few days.
Watermelon seeds, Canghai Tuo Hu Shijie's grandfather bought them, and when the ground was finished, he was ready to sow the watermelon seeds, of course, before sowing, Canghai had to cheat and put the watermelon seeds he originally bought into the furnace of life to urge it.
With the experience of the last time, Canghai is not ready to make a big change here, and the experience of changing the kiwi vine to a tree makes Canghai a little afraid, so this time when the watermelon seeds are put in the furnace, Canghai only changes the size and sweetness of the melon, and then randomly improves the piece that bears the seeds.
Even so, a bag of watermelon seeds still consumed more than half of the life essence in the furnace, which made Canghai feel distressed, you must know that this is what Canghai saved by squatting in the bird for a few months.
For the convenience of eating, Canghai ordered a few in the corner of his vegetable garden, and then took the watermelon seeds to Fenghuanggou. The iron head naturally followed, and the tiger head continued to watch the chicks at home. After communicating with the Tree of Life, Canghai knew that there were not one or two weasels in the vicinity, although they usually ate rats, but who could guarantee that these things would not catch better chicks?
Leaving the dog-faced depressed tiger head, Canghai rode an ugly donkey with an iron head to the Phoenix Ditch, and when he arrived at the place, Canghai directly used a branch to insert a hole in the slope, inserted a small hole and threw a watermelon seed into it, and then buried it with his feet, and continued to plant another one after burying it.
After working for an hour, Canghai couldn't stand it a little, this job bent over for a while and straightened for a while, which made Canghai's whole back ache.
Sitting down to rest and drink some water, Canghai looked up and saw a small finch not far from him and began to bury seeds again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
With the remaining watermelon seeds, he came to the side of the tree of life, pressed his hand on the trunk, and Canghai sent a message to the tree of life: Can you let the birds help plant the watermelon seeds?
The Tree of Life quickly replied: Yes.
Hearing this, Canghai looked up at the sky, and after a while, he saw a small black cloud appear in the sky, and when the black cloud approached, Canghai realized that it was a group of small birds.
The birds flew to Canghai's side, picked up the watermelon seeds, and then spread their wings and flew up the slope. In less than a minute, the small bag containing watermelon seeds in front of Canghai was empty, and the little bird without watermelon seeds was still jumping around next to the bag for a while, making sure that there were really no seeds, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
"There is still this kind of operation!" Canghai flocked to the south slope with the birds, and suddenly murmured: "I'm a pig, I knew why I had to ask someone, wouldn't it be enough to ask the birds for help?"
Thinking about it, if a few acres of land are planted like this, the villagers will be suspicious of themselves.
I was busy for more than an hour and planted a little, and it only took ten minutes for the birds to plant the remaining watermelon seeds in the ground, and Canghai couldn't go back the rest of the time. In the afternoon, I slept in the space, and returned to the village in the evening.
For more than ten days in a row, Canghai pretended to be very busy, and finally 'planted' all the watermelon seeds into the ground.
