055. Knowledge is power
Lan Sa doesn't seem to have anything to do with the official people now, but fortunately, the Rolling Bat used [telekinesis] to take him from the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So, when those people went to the location of Lan Sa's locked bicycle again, all that was left in front of them was the small tree, and the bicycle had already been taken away by Lan Sa. As for where it will be in that little time? Do you need to ask? It's just that he was thrown into the Little Dongjiang River by a rolling bat.
Because there was a guy who was suspected of being a scout down there, Lan Sa simply let the rolling bat take him around the sky like that. Anyway, the previous few people dug the blue orange fruit tree directly, and I don't think they would be so kind to bury the pit left by digging up the fruit tree.
Sure enough, after a little turn, Lan Sa found a few pits in a deserted rice field. The soil on this paddy field has become very flat, and it is not the kind of rice field that was still cultivated last year. There were several bushes growing on the paddy field, and there should have been several blue orange fruit trees, but now there are only a few potholes left. The soil that had been turned out of the pit was still relatively wet, and it was obvious that the plants that had grown there had just been dug up.
Glancing at the barren field, Lan Sa was surprised. What did he see? Nima saw a wild fruit growing near the hole where several blue orange trees had been dug up! On top of that, Nima is now in its flowering season!
It's really a beep dog, such a living tree fruit, those guys didn't even find it? Or do they not know the tree fruit at all?
Lan Sa motioned for the Rolling Bat to put himself down, hiding to the side and listening carefully to the nearby movements. The people who were sent out to search didn't come here, perhaps because they thought that no one could break through their eyeliner and get under their noses? Or are these guys actually hiding on the sidelines, and the remaining tree fruit is actually being used as bait?
Forget it, let's hide here for a while and see how it goes. So, Lan Sa sent the rolling bats out to scout the surrounding situation.
The remaining fruit is not as recognizable as the blue orange fruit, and the leaves of this tree are dark green with a hint of blue sheen, unlike the dark orange leaves of the blue orange tree. This kind of leaf color is not an unusual thing in this world. In addition, although this fruit tree is in its flowering season, the color of its flowers is very ordinary. The petals are pale lemon yellow near the stamens, while the periphery is white. The color of such flowers is really not special, at least in many communities in Guangdong Province and even in Youcheng, the frangipani trees used as greening trees are flowers of this color. If it hadn't been for noticing the blue sheen of this tree fruit Ye Ziyun, even Lan Sa would have almost not recognized this tree fruit.
This is a grapefruit fruit tree, this kind of pomelo fruit has similar effects as blue oranges, and it is used to replenish physical strength, referred to as for the elves to restore blood. It's just that compared to the blue orange fruit, the effect of the grapefruit fruit is better. As for the fact that this is obviously a small wild community of blue oranges, why is there a wild pomelo here? This question can be answered by Lan Sa's useless golden finger.
Because in the original material of the grapefruit fruit, that is, in the two-dimensional setting before the great changes in the world. Grapefruit fruit, this thing belongs to the mutant variety of blue orange in the canon. There is a clear text on it that shows that pomelo and blue orange originally belonged to the same type of fruit, and that pomelo was later separated.
It's not impossible for a growing fruit plant to mutate. In fact, in the orthodox game before the world changes, the mutation of the tree fruit is also one of the elements in the game. Players can completely use manual intervention to plant another variety of tree fruit next door, or apply a specific type of fertilizer to achieve the purpose of promoting the mutation of tree fruits. In today's world, there is no such thing as a human being who cultivates blue oranges into grapefruits. Then the answer is simple, this pomelo plant should be mutated from wild blue oranges. As a result, it naturally appears in the places where the blue tangerine fruit grows.
However, there are also downsides to the mutation of blue oranges into grapefruit. First, the appearance of the plant has become less recognizable, and secondly, the taste of the fruit has changed. On top of that, pomelo takes much longer to ripen than blue oranges. If blue oranges are the "daily change type" that can harvest fruits every day after entering the fruiting period, then the yuzu type is the "moon change type". From flowering to fruit ripening, it takes almost a month for the pomelo to ripen. This time is definitely relatively long, and among the tree fruit species that Lan Sa knows, there are really not many species with a longer fruit ripening cycle than grapefruit.
But even so, grapefruit is still a sought-after item on the market. No way, who makes the healing effect of grapefruit better than an ordinary bottle of wound medicine? And items like wound medicine, you have to be lucky enough to find them in the wild, and until humans develop similar formulas, they are non-renewable resources. As long as you have a place to plant it, as long as you don't forget to water it every day, then at least you can harvest a few fruits in the end. And these fruits can be used to continue to grow, and so on, a proper renewable resource!
So in the first year of great changes in the world, many people tried to buy grapefruit fruits. They didn't take it for their own elves to eat, but to take it back and grow it!
Blue orange and grapefruit, this is the most popular tree fruit in the world. The rest of the tree fruit is not comparable to these two at all, and the reputation of the blue orange comes from its large quantity and cheapness. The fame of pomelo comes from its effect and the phenomenon that the market is in short supply.
This grapefruit must find a way to get home!
Lan Sa's heart suddenly had such an idea, as long as he got a pomelo, then he could boldly use the wound medicine, and he didn't have to be afraid that the wound medicine in his hand would not be able to meet the combat needs of his elves. In this way, the speed of strength improvement will enter another level of rapid development! Instead of fighting cautiously like now, if the elf is not seriously injured, he will not dare to take out the wound medicine in his hand casually.
"Chirp~"
Staring at the grapefruit tree, Lan Sa's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Fortunately, at this time, the rolling bats that were sent out by Lan Sa to investigate before came back.
"Are those people still there?"
Lan Sa asked the question he was most concerned about now, if that group of people was still there, he wouldn't be able to make a move on the pomelo fruit tree outside. If you don't get it right, you have to leave immediately, lest your presence make the group of guys notice the existence of the grapefruit tree.
"Chirp~"
The Rolling Bat gave a surprise answer to Lan Sa, as it shook its head!
That group of people just left? I don't really know the grapefruit tree, right?! Gee... It's terrible to be uneducated, and sure enough, knowledge is power!
