Chapter 34: Survival of the fittest
"Brother, get up, run."
"Oh, yes." Qiubai opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the time of his mobile phone, it was six o'clock, this time was not early, usually he had already gotten up and run, but he slept late yesterday, and these high stools were not comfortable to sleep, and his body hurt, so that the quality of sleep was not good.
Qiubai was lying in his clothes, so he quickly got up, twisted his body, and felt a little painful, and before he could complain, he was pulled out of Repulse Bay by Orange Orange.
"The air is so good." Facing the cool breeze in the morning, Orange Orange ran in the front, flicking the tied ponytail, very youthful and energetic.
Qiubai didn't speak, and after running for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Oh, where are you going?" How did you get to town? ”
"Breakfast, brother, don't you eat breakfast?" Orange Orange is strange.
He really didn't know how to eat it before, because he didn't have that time, but since Orange wanted to eat it, he didn't mind eating it.
Although Longtan Town is a small town, there are a lot of people, and it initially has the conditions for prosperity, although it is only six o'clock, and those who sell breakfast have already begun to work.
Soybean milk, rice porridge, rice noodles, noodles are the breakfast recipes of Nanchuan people, Qiubai likes to eat rice porridge and steamed buns, the amount of orange and orange is not small, she has eaten eight steamed buns, and her stomach is bulging.
When he came back, Orange Orange asked, "Brother, are we going to do anything today?" ”
Qiubai thought for a while: "No, I don't farm now." Then I remembered that Orange Orange said that he was not leaving today: "You are not going home yet?" Is it interesting to stay here all the time? ”
Orange Cheng said resentfully: "Brother, you want to drive me away so much?" ”
"You don't know how inconvenient it is to stay with me?" Qiubai ignores the girl's cuteness.
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow, because this morning I found out that the plants here are very strange, and I am very curious to study."
Qiu Bai's heart froze: "What strange method?" ”
"Grow fast, haven't you noticed?"
"You mean mosquito traps?"
"No, if the mosquito trap grass has the genes of the Yagleman dragon grass, the growth rate is not very fast, after all, the lost plants can grow three or four meters tall almost every day, and some faster ones are more than ten meters a day, so I'm not talking about mosquito trapping grass, but creepers, brother, didn't you see it when you got up just now? Those creepers grow so fast, they have grown more than a meter in one night, and at this rate, it will be able to cover the entire Repulse Bay in less than ten days, which is a miracle. ”
"Have you figured out why?" Qiu Bai asked weakly.
"First there is the mosquito trap grass that is suspected to be the Yagleman dragon grass, and now there is the creeper, I suspect that the water and soil in Repulse Bay are different from other places, so we must study and understand."
"Well, then you can get some dirt and go back to study, I don't object to it." Qiubai really wanted to send this girl away, after all, there was a very curious person who followed her ass all the time, and that taste was quite uncomfortable.
"How can there be field research properly, so I decided, stay here for a few days first, brother, shouldn't you welcome me?" The orange fox glanced at Qiubai suspiciously.
"How can I be?" Qiu Baiqiang smiled: "With such a cute girl as you, it's too late for me to be happy, haha, I'm not afraid that your family will worry." ”
"I'm an adult."
Anyway, Orange Orange's stay has been decided, Qiubai is very helpless, thinking of Tai Sui at home, he decided to hide Tai Sui as soon as possible, so as not to attract the attention of this curious baby.
When he returned to Repulse Bay, Qiubai first looked at the condition of the creeper, and then felt that this matter was really no wonder Orange Orange, because as long as he was not blind, he could see the difference between the creeper, because these eighteen creepers did grow too fast.
Yesterday, when the wire was wound, it was less than fifteen centimeters, after one night, the creeper suddenly jumped up a lot, and the height of the bamboo has reached one and a half meters, just looking at the surface, it is impossible to see that two days ago it was just a branch, this is already a finished plant.
In addition to the difference in height, the leaves of each of the eighteen creepers are palm-wide, and the veins are far thicker than those of ordinary creepers, and the color is verdant.
"It's growing up so fast." Qiubai's brain hurts.
In fact, if you want to talk about Qiubai's true thoughts, then I really want the creeper to grow dozens of hundreds of meters a day, but this is obviously unlikely, too attention-grabbing, if there is no orange orange, it doesn't matter how many meters the creeper grows a day, anyway, his house is relatively remote, and the people of Repulse Bay usually don't come to take a look, and now with Orange Orange here and keep staring, Qiubai really hopes that they will grow slower, so that Orange Orange will lose interest sooner, but the idea is not transferred to reality.
Seeing Orange Cheng squatting under the creeper and touching the east and west, and still reciting words in his mouth, Qiubai felt a pain in the egg, sighed and entered the house, the house was baating, and he had to be driven out and released.
Seven catties and eight catties have also grown up, the wool on the body is longer, neatly hanging on the ground, like a battle armor, Qiubai weighed it with a scale, seven catties grew to twenty-four catties, eight catties grew to twenty-five catties, and it grew three times in two days, and the magical effect of Tai Sui became more and more obvious.
When Qiubai drove the sheep out, Orange Orange glanced at it and didn't look over, yesterday she asked what kind of sheep this was, why it was so strange, Qiubai told the soil sheep this surname, Orange Orange also believed it anyway, it was obvious that Orange Orange was more interested in plants than in animals.
Rural life is sometimes very monotonous, just like Qiubai, the family does not farm then it is even more monotonous, plus the orange orange is also there, Qiubai is not good to go to the Tai Sui water, so back and forth, the morning is difficult to pass, and after lunch, the mosquito trap grass begins to wake up, exuding a strong aroma to prey on insects, but today Qiubai found that there are too few insects, even the ants are almost gone, hundreds of small insects are attracted in the afternoon, as for the sparrows or something.
Qiubai sensed the mood of mosquito trapping grass, and the plants were half dead, as if they were not full, and even the growth rate slowed down, and it barely grew in an afternoon.
"There's no food, and the mosquito trap doesn't grow anymore." Orange Cheng is a little dignified, she cares more about these mosquito traps than Qiu Bai.
"Yes, no way, these guys are too greedy, and they have eaten all the mosquitoes and flies around them in four days."
At six o'clock in the evening, the mosquito trap grass was obviously not full, and even the plug of the teeth was not enough, the nineteen mosquito trap grass ate the most insects or the two largest, and the remaining seventeen plants were already bad, Qiubai sensed it again, and actually sensed that these mosquito trap grass was about to die, which surprised Qiubai, and he didn't care about the orange orange here, so he went back to the house and poured out the soaked Tai Sui water, and poured it all into the ground.
After eating worriedly, when Qiubai and Orange Orange stood on the edge of the ground again, seventeen mosquito trapping grasses had died, and the leaves lay on the ground, even Tai Sui Shui could not save their fate, only two were left alive, it seemed that this was the survival of the fittest in nature.
Seeing that only a few of Liao Liao's mosquitoes were attracted by the scent of mosquito grass liquid from a distance, Orange Cheng couldn't care about the seventeen dead plants, and said in a deep voice: "If there is no food, these two Agraman Dragon Grass will not survive, I still think too simply, now is not the Lost Century, there is not enough food to make the Yagleiman Dragon Grass grow to eighty meters tall." ”
Qiubai used the lower sensing ability again.
"I'm so hungry, so hungry."
"Eat meat, eat meat."
Retreating, Qiubai asked, "Is there anything you can do about this situation?" ”
"No, nature is the fairest, if they want to live, they can only adapt to their surroundings, either to attract more food, or not to be so vulnerable, but these take a long time to adjust, just like the cactus, which was originally a subtropical plant, but after tens of millions of years of evolution, it can survive in the desert, which is too long." Orange Orange was a little sentimental, she finally saw the lost century plant, and she was going to die before she could study it, which was uncomfortable for her.
"Maybe something you didn't expect." Qiubai said noncommittally, the survival of the fittest has passed, and the remaining two are the tallest mosquito traps, Qiubai faintly feels that they will definitely not die, especially when they have just absorbed Tai Sui water.
