Chapter 080: Wheat and Brown Dogs

The environment in the Great Wilderness is very similar to that of the earth, whether it is a hill or a plain, whether it is a forest or a swamp, it can be found in the Great Wilderness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 However, unlike the earth, there are many species of plants in the wilderness that are not available on the earth. For example, arrow wood, and then purple bamboo.

Since coming to the Great Wilderness, Wang Hao has identified countless kinds of strange plants. However, no crops have been identified that are suitable for large-scale cultivation.

Fish are getting harder and harder to catch. In the past, large groups of fish rushed to eat bamboo chips smeared with animal blood when they were thrown into the water, but now it is possible to catch fish with bamboo chips, but it takes several times longer than at the beginning.

Wang Hao believes that in another year or two, when the fish in this river are all caught, I am afraid that no stupid fish will be fooled into eating bamboo chips.

Although when he left, Wang Hao had already sent someone to cut a batch of hemp rods for rotting, and when he returned, he would almost be able to weave fishing nets, but it was foreseeable that the manpower who would come to the village to work would definitely not be low.

In the short term, you can make a living by fishing, but in the long term, this will definitely not work.

And now, Wang Hao actually accidentally discovered wheat, and it was domesticated wheat, how could this not make him excited.

In nature, all kinds of plants have their own way of reproduction. For example, the thorn ball, the ripe thorn ball, sticks to the fur of passing animals, which are then allowed to carry their seeds to distant places.

Wheat, on the other hand, reproduces automatically when it is ripe, automatically falls off the ears of wheat and falls into the soil so that it can continue to grow in the next year.

From a scientific point of view, this is a vicious mutation, because wheat that will not fall off will rot if hung on the ears of wheat for too long, which is not suitable for the reproduction of wheat.

The domestication of wheat is to find this mutated wheat from the wheat from generation to generation, use it as seeds, sow it, and until they are ripe, all of them will grow firmly on the ears of wheat, waiting for human harvest. Otherwise, the wild wheat cannot be harvested, and once it is ripe, it will fall into the soil, and no one can pick it up one by one.

Asked Liu Xiong to put down the two bundles of grass he had cut, and Wang Hao selected a few green wheat seedlings from them with excitement.

Wang Hao, who grew up in the countryside, is more familiar with wheat than anyone present. Although the yield of this crop is not as high as that of corn, it can be seen in the north and south of the earth because of its drought and flood resistance.

Rubbing off a few ears of wheat, Wang Hao threw them into his mouth, and the slightly sweet taste of the unripe wheat made Wang Hao close his eyes intoxicated. What he tasted was not the sweetness of starch, but the future of the Great Wilderness.

Only by hunting, no matter how it develops, it can only be in a corner of peace, and only farming can allow human footprints to cover any corner of the Great Wilderness, and even get out of the Great Wilderness. There is a saying that the great wilderness is so big, I want to take people to see it.

After being drunk alone for a while, Wang Hao was woken up by Wang Ba.

Returning to the camp with everyone, Wang Hao arranged for Shi Li and them to dispose of the fresh grass. Asking the tribe that cooked the meat, Wang Long surrounded him in the middle, but at this time, Wang Hao had no time to take care of these trivial matters.

After taking a pottery bowl for Qian Yu and Qian Duo, he hurriedly fed the giant clawed dragon and the white sheep with food, and Wang Hao asked Wang Ba to take him to the place where the grass was cut today.

Outside the city, there is a wide plain, Wang Hao did not pay attention when he came, and when he walked out through the gap in the middle of the city wall, Wang Hao found that there is really no place more suitable for growing wheat than this plain.

Wang Hao could already imagine that thousands of years ago, when this city was not decaying, the plain outside the city must have been planted with wheat.

The breeze blows, standing on the city wall, looking at the boundless wheat outside the city, and smelling the fragrance of wheat in the wind, that scene makes people feel intoxicated when they think about it.

Hundreds of meters out of the city, Wang Hao finally found dozens of wheat growing together from the weeds. Wheat that has been domesticated has lost human cultivation and is really not competitive in the wilderness.

This tuft of wheat is sparse and sparse, and the middle is overgrown with weeds, and half of the ears are deflated, which is the result of malnutrition.

For thousands of years, this wheat has been left untended, competing with vigorous weeds for survival resources, and enduring the gnawing of herbivores in the wilderness.

However, Wang Hao believes that since he can find this cluster, there will definitely be more wheat hidden among the weeds.

Squatting down, Wang Hao cleared the weeds near the wheat one by one with his hands.

Wang Ba watched his actions and planned to come over to help, but was stopped by Wang Hao. He was afraid that Wang Ba couldn't tell the difference between weeds and wheat, and if he hurt these wheat, then he wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.

After cleaning up the weeds, Wang Hao sat on the ground, staring at the cluster of wheat seedlings with deep eyes. He felt that if there was a cigarette to set off the atmosphere at this time, it would definitely be perfect.

A small snake that didn't have long eyes swam over from the side, but before it could get to Wang Hao's side, it was cut in two by Wang Ba with an iron sword.

Putting the iron sword back into its scabbard, Wang Ba pushed Wang Hao and asked strangely, "Hao, what's so nice about this grass?" ā€

Wang Hao looked at Wang Ba and said seriously: "You remember, they are not called grass, they are called wheat, and in the future, these wheates will be our main source of food." Moreover, it will be passed down from generation to generation. Okay, it's not too early, let's go back to dinner. ā€œ

Wang Ba scratched his head as if he didn't understand, glanced at the cluster of wheat seedlings suspiciously, and then followed Wang Hao to walk back. It's just a few pieces of grass, can you eat it, even if you can eat it, I'm afraid it's not enough to stuff your teeth, how can it become the main source of food.

Just as Wang Hao and the others got up and walked back, not far away, several brown dogs were quietly lurking.

Wang Hao followed the brown dog's gaze and found a thin woman in front of him.

"Lots of money? Why is she running so far alone? Wang Hao frowned and thought strangely.

At this moment, Qian Duo didn't know that he had been targeted by several murderous brown dogs. The food prepared in the tribe did not have her share. Fortunately, the weather is warm now, and many edible plants have taken root and sprouted, and she will not worry about not eating if she is alone.

raised his head, swept the surroundings vigilantly, and by the way, stuffed the grass roots he had just dug into his mouth, and did not find the brown dog hiding in the grass quietly approaching, but saw Wang Hao who was staring at her not far away.

Her heart tightened, and she lowered her head helplessly, she felt that her embarrassment in finding food must have been seen by Hao just now.

But then, she raised her head again and showed a big smile at Wang Hao. She can't speak, she can only use a smile to express her kindness.

However, she saw Wang Hao remove the kind of wood that bent like a crescent moon on his back.

When Wang Hao pulled his bow and arrow into a full moon and aimed it at her, a feeling of danger arose, which was exactly the same as the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake last time.

Qian Duo's face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't understand why this kind-faced Wang Hao would make her feel like this.

Just when Qian Duo was shocked, Wang Hao released the bowstring in his hand.

The straight feather arrow, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, flew towards Qian Duo.

In just an instant, she passed by Qian Duo and picked up a strand of hair in her ear.

At the same time, behind Qian Duo, a terrible dog barked loudly. Qian Duo turned his head to take a look, only to find that less than three meters behind him, there was a dying brown dog.

And the brown dog's neck is sticking in the feather arrow that Wang Hao just pulled out.

The feeling of being targeted by the poisonous snake did not disappear because of the fall of the brown dog, but became more and more intense.

Qian Duoduo suddenly realized that brown dogs are all social creatures, and it is rare to say that they are alone, and besides, such a sinister, cunning and timid creature that is afraid of death, if there is only one, they will not dare to attack themselves.

In an instant, Qian Duo figured this out, then stood up and ran desperately towards Wang Hao. The timid brown dog would never dare to attack two strong men.

Wang Hao secretly praised his cleverness, and then pulled out another feather arrow.

Wang Ba did not draw his bow, but drew his iron sword. Not only because his archery skills are not good, for fear of accidental injury, but also because Wang Hao said that when encountering enemies in the field, we must pay attention to long-distance attacks, if there are only two people, then the person with accurate archery will be responsible for long-range attack, and the person with poor archery will be responsible for protecting the safety of the archer.

The brown dogs did not understand how their companions were injured, but when they saw that their prey was about to flee, they could not hide their bodies, and they came out of the grass and chased after them.

Wang Hao's shooting speed was not fast, because of the angle, it was difficult for him to have a chance to shoot the brown dog behind Qian Duo.

The distance between the three parties was getting closer, Qian Duo ran towards Wang Hao, and the brown dog chased Qian Duo behind.

Just when Qian Duo was less than 100 meters away from Wang Hao, the fastest brown dog finally caught up with Qian Duo.

A lunge, and Chando was thrown to the ground from behind.

The brown dog's sharp claws pierced through the animal skin that Qian Duo was wearing behind her back, leaving several bloody streaks on her back.

And its stinking salivating mouth bit hard at Qian Duo's neck.
