Chapter 117: Pastoral Dog
Seemingly, the food is slowly starting to plentiful.
No matter what this cataclysm is, with this food, it is enough to face it calmly.
Because of the invention of money and the purchase of this lot of honey at a low price, Xiao Ran was given the title of "financial expert" by the ants. Sweaters also became popular, and the god of power of the Artemisia Empire wanted a decent sweater very much.
A good-looking sweater can not only keep you warm in the spring, but also make ants more fashionable.
But the price of a sweater for 20 yuan is very expensive for the Artemisia Empire, and they need to use 100 grass seeds in exchange for a sweater.
Li Shen happily took out 100 grass seeds and changed into a sweater.
And other high-level ants of the Artemisia Empire have also followed suit. For a while, if anyone doesn't have a sweater, it's as if they are out of touch with the ant clan society.
The most arrogant is the captain of the Artemisia Empire, a little old man who usually doesn't look very good, who actually bought three sweaters at once. Red, yellow, green, one for each of the three colors.
This is also the result of the opening of trade. At present, the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations can trade with the Hive Collection, and it can also trade with the Wind Village and the Shi Family Brothers, but between the Artemisia Empire and the Hive Cluster, it cannot be traded.
The Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations became the center of trade for a while.
After learning that the Sea Buckthorn Zerg had honey, Lishen very much wanted to exchange grass seeds for kerosene coins, and then exchange kerosene coins for honey.
However, Xiaoran adjusted the purchase price of 0.5 yuan per barrel of honey to 5 yuan per barrel.
This is because the Artemisia Empire can only buy honey from the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations. Monopolizing the market is so arrogant. It is also because of this that Xiao Ran obtained almost half of the grass seeds of the Artemisia Empire.
In his spare time, Xiao Ran took Kudo to the anti-sperm cave where the grandmaster once stayed. He wanted to know where the Grandmaster had gone.
There were some patterns carved into the anti-sperm cave, and Xiao Ran only felt that these patterns were messy, more abstract than any other artist in human history.
The patterns are just simple lines that the ant people have been working on since they woke up from hibernation.
Some ants said that this is the martial arts secret book left by the grandmaster, which contains dragon spear and dragon fist. These lines are the method of exercising gong.
There are also ants who say that this is a biography written by the grandmaster. Because the Zerg do not have words, they can only be expressed in the imprecise language of patterns. This kind of imprecise language is different from whiskers, although it is abstract, but it can better express the soul of an ant.
There are also ants who say that maybe it was when the grandmaster was in retreat, sleepwalking and unable to see the road, and using a sickle to depict it blindly.
......
Xiao Ran has looked at these unordered lines many times, and for the Zerg, being able to use patterns is already a very great art.
The appearance of patterns often signifies the beginning of a civilization.
Kudo looked at it carefully for a long time before he said slowly: "I'm not sure, but looking at some of the lines in this line, it seems to be a cloud drawn." ”
Cloud?
It's better to say that the yarn ball is more appropriate.
"By the way, it seems that there is still a fish ......," Kudo added again.
Fish...... Sure enough, Xiao Ran only felt that he couldn't understand the art of the Zerg, maybe, he hadn't even understood the art of humans, where could he understand the art of the Zerg.
In human art, there are also some people who are realistic, they are famous for their realism, and the paintings they paint are even very clear about the hair.
But this grandmaster's painting, a few simple lines, plus a few simple lines, except for the woolen ball, Xiao Ran couldn't think of any other reference in his mind.
"Are you sure? Are there any other elements?" asked Xiao Ran.
"Uh...... I'm not sure about that, but if it's Fish and Cloud, it can explain why the Grandmaster left the Sperm Cave. "Kudo Road.
"Oh?"
"When a fish swims in the clouds, it means to swim. The Grandmaster is trying to tell us that he has wandered. Kudo explained.
If it is said in the sense of Kudo, it is also said in the past. It's just that Tengjiao came over every once in a while to take a look, and he insisted that this was the martial arts secret book left by the grandmaster.
If you tell rattan pepper that this is just the meaning of Yunyou, I don't know what will happen to him.
The matter of raising cows has also come to an end for the time being, because the news of the cataclysm has spread throughout the ant countries, so many ant colonies have begun to get anxious, spring is not the harvest season, but they are harvesting regardless of the season.
Ripe, unripe, and slightly preserved food is harvested.
As a result, there is also some damage to the surrounding area, for example, some artemisia grass has not yet grown, and the shoots have been plucked. And the surrounding ant tribes don't eat grass anymore, but there is no other food, so they go crazy.
Only the Sea Buckthorn Zerg Clan is a little more relaxed, because of the trading relationship with the Golden Wing Clan, and the Golden Wing Clan is very prolific in this season.
But the replacement of the bees of the Golden Wing Clan is very fast, their lifespan is not long, and now, the people who communicate with the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations are already the fifth generation of the Golden Axis.
The Flying Eagle Squad has also changed several groups of bees.
Cloud Palace.
Under the careful care of worker ants. The eggs hatched new larvae, the larvae had formed a pupa, and in another week, they would be able to become the new ant people of the Cloud Palace.
This time, there were a lot of ant people, and when they grew up, the ant people in the sea buckthorn wasteland directly increased to more than 4,000 ants.
According to Xiao Ran's needs, these ants can be turned into worker ants, soldier ants, or female ants and male ants by injecting different agents.
The number of ant people has directly increased by 20 times, and it is also because of this explosive growth that the modules of the cloud palace are about to be completely insufficient.
Xiao Ran plans to let these new ant people build their own homes when they are fully grown. After all, it is almost impossible to build hundreds of cloud palace components at once, which is an almost impossible task for the current ant people.
It's been a month since the Chinese New Year, and the artemisia jungle has changed from withered yellow to tender green, and from spotted tender green to green covering the ground. However, the third grandfather and his wife still did not come back.
Xiao Ran took rattan pepper, Kudo, Jiulixiang, and 30 spear ants and decided to go to the third grandfather's house to explore.
Following the road of oil and salt, I soon arrived at the third grandfather's house.
The third grandfather left in a hurry and didn't pack anything. The firecracker residues in the yard didn't have time to sweep up.
By the way, they seem to have left on the first day of junior high school, and the custom of this village is that the first year of junior high school cannot sweep the floor.
When you sweep the floor at the beginning of the year, you will sweep away your fortune.
Xiao Ran came to the third grandfather's kitchen, which was no different from before, except for a layer of dust.
It's a very familiar place, all kinds of spices are screwed tightly, and because of this, the road of oil and salt has completely become a decoration.
At this time, the third grandfather's pastoral dog ran in.
Poor little skinny man......
The pastoral dog became thin and weak because it was not raised by the third grandfather.
Perhaps, the third grandfather never thought that he would not come home for so long.
In the corner of the kitchen, Xiaoran's rice bowl for the idyllic dog developed by Xiao Ran, next to the rice bowl, there is a bag of intact dog food and an empty bag of dog food.
Xiao Ran had already understood that before the third grandfather left, he must have put two bags of dog food here and opened one of them.
After the pastoral dog had eaten one of the bags, the other bag would not be opened, so he was hungry as he is now.
Poor pastoral dog......
However, a pastoral dog that can eat dog food must be a very luxurious pastoral dog.
