Chapter 35 The Departure and Retention of Bamboo Seeds
Large-sized predators tend to have a fixed predatory territory when they reach adulthood, and will only move when there is a shortage of food, or when they encounter natural disasters such as drought and flash floods.
Killing all the threatening beasts around Li Zhufeng, under normal circumstances, the probability of encountering danger after Banbu moves in will be greatly reduced.
The hunting of fierce beasts is not in line with the spotted cloth ginseng, so he simply ignores it, stays in the territory of the taro every day, eats and drinks with peace of mind, and strengthens his body through body exercises.
The taro returns to the nest every night to rest, passing on hunting skills and farming knowledge to Zebrabu.
Before you know it, it's early winter, and the beast hunting operation that lasted for nearly a month is terminated.
Ma Taro led Banbu to Li Zhufeng to familiarize himself with the environment.
The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain decided to command the people by the way, and everyone worked together to cut down all the dead bamboo forests on the mountain peak, cut them off, mash them, and bury them in the ground.
Rain and fungi slowly decompose these dead trees and turn them into nutrients that enrich the soil.
Primitive civilization, primitive social structure, agriculture as the core industry, which led to the "simple folk customs", and it became an unwritten rule to help younger generations build territories free of charge.
All the fighters came to help, acting as free labor.
The stingy and mean wind chimes are busy in the mountains. Hei Sang, who had just been promoted to an 8-year-old junior warrior, also rushed to join in the fun.
In agricultural production, diligence is a necessary quality.
This is already the last job, and Banbu, who is the future owner of Li Zhushan, naturally can't be idle, and is arranged to work with Kuro-sang to clear the weeds around the cave where he lives.
After weeding, go to the top of the hill and comb the ditch.
There is a dark reservoir inside the top of the mountain, designed with a ditch to divert water, and in the rainy season, the water flow is channeled through the ditch to the storage reservoir, and in the dry season, the water stored in the reservoir will penetrate down the mountain to ensure the soil moisture on the mountainside. In the event of severe drought, reservoir sluices can also be opened to direct water flow through ditches for irrigation.
This is another benefit of Banbu's takeover of Li Zhufeng, all kinds of basic agricultural projects are ready-made, and they have been tried and tested for a long time, and there are no mistakes.
……
After a busy whole day, he finally completed all the tasks assigned by the Lord of Iron Knife Mountain, and Hei Sang couldn't wait to urge:
"Banbu, Li Zhu!"
Kuro-san's ability to communicate with his mental power is limited, and this day, intermittently, repeatedly expressing a certain meaning to Banbu.
Roughly: Li bamboo is a very good plant, let's go to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to find Li bamboo seeds. I'm going to breed a Li Zhu life.
After all, Kuro-san was born less than a year ago, and although he is a Force creature, his intelligence is still not high, about the same as a two- or three-year-old child. It's really smart, a little scheming, and it can't be ruled out that there is an excuse to find seeds, and it's a careful idea to lazy and run down the mountain to wander and play.
Banbu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in flapping his wings and flying down the mountain.
"Wait."
Kuro-san's flying ability is much worse than that of Banbu, and he has to stop and rest every time he flies a distance.
……
"Li Zhu" has had a long period of glory in the red cockroach tribe, and it can be said to be a specialty of Li Zhufeng.
The owner of Jinzhu Mountain has cultivated a new variety that can bloom and bear fruit once every three years, and will not wither and die after flowering and fruiting, and named it "Li Zhu".
The news spread, including the county lord of Chijian and the lord of the Iron Knife Mountain, many mountain lords and county lords spent a lot of money to exchange Li Zhu seeds, and even many mountain lords of the black and white cockroach tribe also came to ask for a trade, and the heat lasted for more than 20 years before it subsided. The owner of Jinzhu Mountain has made a lot of money by virtue of the new variety of Li bamboo, and Li Zhufeng is named after this.
The plant planted the most in Li Zhufeng is Li Zhu, this year's drought, a large number of deaths, at this time, responsible for cutting down and cleaning up the dead Li Zhu is the iron blade senior soldier Li Zhu.
Li Zhu found Kuro-sang and Banbu wandering in the bamboo forest, and shouted from afar: "Hei-sang, Banbu, what are you two little guys doing?" ”
Hei Sang jumped up and down close to Li Zhu and shouted, "Seed." Find seeds. ”
At this time, the Iron Knife Mountain Lord and Ma Yao were also here in Li Zhu, and they seemed to be discussing something.
The Iron Knife Mountain Lord asked, "Do you also plan to choose Li Zhu as your life seed?" ”
Kuro-sang twitched his tentacles and said, "Yes." ”
The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain looked at Zebra.
Banbu then twitched his tentacles and said, "Yes." ”
There are many disadvantages of bamboo, the bamboo pole is hollow, fragile, can't stand the storm, it is easy to break, and there are fatal shortcomings, the cycle of flowering and fruiting is too long. Li Zhu blooms and bears fruit once in 3 years, which is barely acceptable.
Bamboo also has advantages, a seed is sown, developed well, can grow a large canopy of bamboo poles, and even form a small bamboo forest, in terms of coverage area, with other plants can not match.
Li Zhu Seeds also have the special effect of strengthening the carapace and muscle toughness, and on the whole, it is only slightly inferior to the Iron Knife Tree, but the difference is in the number of seeds and the interval between periods.
"Wise choice, two clever little ones." After Li Zhu praised it, he then said regretfully:
"The bamboo forest has withered due to drought, and there aren't many seeds left. You go over there and look for it. ”
"The fruit ripens in late summer and early autumn, so you should pay more attention to the ground. Rotten fruits, which must have dormant seeds in them, wait for spring to come, and then take root and sprout. ”
"Understood." Kuro-san turned around and beckoned, "Banbu, over there, okay?" ”
"Whatever."
Zebu's wings were the first to take off.
Li Zhu suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Banbu, wait, there is one thing, I think it should be up to you to decide." ”
Zebu's quirking tentacles in confusion.
The Iron Knife Mountain Lord raised his tentacles and said, "That's right, Li Zhufeng is about to become Banbu's territory, and its opinion should be consulted on this matter." ”
All the matters of Li Zhufeng have always been discussed and handled by the Lord of Iron Knife Mountain and Ma Yao, and they can be regarded as thinking of Banbu, the future lord.
Banbu asked with mental power, "What's the matter?" ”
Ma Yu said: "I have traveled to the mainland, and I have never seen a powerful tribe planting bamboo on a large scale and cultivating bamboo seeds. Bamboo, as a lifeflower, has a limited future for development, so I suggest that all the bamboos in Li Zhufeng be cut down. Ironwood is an excellent choice, and you can grow it on a large scale, and once you have cultivated a good variety, you can reap a huge fortune just by planting it. ”
Ma taro is planning the future of Banbu, and he seems very stubborn and resolute.
The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain shook his tentacles helplessly.
Li Zhu explained: "Ma Taro advocates cutting down all the bamboos in Li Zhufeng and sowing other tree species. The owner of Tiedao Mountain believes that some useful varieties should be retained, at least a few varieties such as Li bamboo, hemp bamboo, golden bamboo and so on. ”
"That...... I think every type of bamboo is a good choice and should not be cut down...... Now everyone has their own opinions, and the conclusion is still undecided, Banbu, you should have your own opinions on this matter. ”
The situation is obvious, and Ma Taro hopes that Banbu will develop step by step, follow the example of the owner of Iron Knife Mountain, and plant the Iron Knife Tree. The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain and Li Zhu hope that Banbu can inherit the legacy of the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain and continue to develop and cultivate bamboo.
The shortcomings of the bamboo are too fatal, however, the lord of the Iron Knife Mountain should not be offended, Banbu thought for a while, and said with some effortless spiritual energy: "Leave a little each, and cut off the excess." ”
"Okay, wise choice." Li Zhu sighed: "The owner of Jinzhu Mountain has been looking for and collecting all kinds of bamboo species all his life, and the bamboo on the mountain is his life's brainchild, and it should not be destroyed so easily." ”
The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain said with satisfaction: "Then we will follow the wishes of Banbu, keep some of each kind of bamboo, and cut down the excess." ”
Li Zhu said: "For some rare bamboo species, I will transplant the Iron Knife Peak and cultivate it myself, so as to prevent disasters and stop the inheritance." ”
Ma Yu said: "Iron Knife Mountain Lord, I hope you can provide Banbu with a batch of Iron Knife Wood seeds in the spring of next year." ”
"No problem." The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain replied quickly, waving his tentacles, and said, "Kuro-san, Banbu, go play, be careful, don't run around, don't leave the mountain." ”
"Uh-huh."
"Understood."
Kuro-san and Banbu replied and flapped their wings away.
