"That's good! I'll take you to see the kind of bamboo that blooms and bears seeds but doesn't die. The rat king agreed, and instructed the other six little bamboo rat warriors: "Ma Zhu, you take Hei Sang to see the red bamboo first, and then go to see the purple bamboo." ”

"Okay." Ma Zhu replied.

Get out of the mine and split up.

The Rat King led the Bandun alone, walking down the mountain and shuttling through the vast bamboo forest.

"Banbu, last year, you said you were going to open up the Bamboo Sea, how much has it opened up now?"

"Very little, there is only one black bear warrior and one senior warrior of the Red Cockroach clan in my territory, and I can't keep busy."

Banbu's heart moved, and he asked, "You bamboo rat warriors, in addition to bamboo, also eat meat, right?" ”

The Rat King said: "Occasionally catch two bamboo leaf green snakes, but they are not delicious." ”

Madara said, "Doesn't it taste good? That is, it can be eaten? Right? ”

The Rat King was clever and roughly understood what Banbu meant, and said, "In addition to bamboo, we can also eat some grass roots, but we mainly eat bamboo." ”

Ban said: "Then it is better for you to move to Li Zhufeng this year and help me open up the bamboo sea." ”

"As long as you give the Force food, you can do anything." The Rat King asked, "Banbu, aren't you looking for bamboo?" ”

"There are nearly a hundred high-ranking warriors in the Yotei Mountains, and they are now in full swing in search of bamboo seeds, which is very dangerous for you. Of course, we must continue to look for cherished bamboo seeds, but we can't be in a hurry, and when the warriors of the Yotei Mountains are past the hot momentum, we will come again. ”

"You give us the Force food, you can do what you say, listen to you."

The Rat King is very labor-conscious, repeatedly emphasizing "Force food", and is also willing to follow his employer's arrangement.

Bamboo rat warriors are naturally good at digging soil, and they are responsible for digging ponds, and they must be fast.

Banbu was very satisfied with the attitude of the Rat King, spread his wings, fanned him, and urged: "Rat King, don't delay time, you run, I will fly above and follow." ”

"Okay." The Rat King landed with his two front paws and turned on the running mode.

Half a day later, I came to the bottom of a mountain.

There are snow-capped peaks in the mountains, and there are several mountain springs, which converge into two streams at the foot of the mountains.

In the bamboo forest, two meandering streams merge into one stream, converge at the location, and the water washes away, naturally forming a small pool.

The bamboo that the rat king spoke of grows right next to the pool.

The crimson bamboo pole is slightly purple, with two slender pale red stripes on the bamboo leaves, and a little reddish at the edge of the leaves.

The height of the bamboo pole is 0.6 to 1.2 meters, which is slightly shorter than the colorful red bamboo, which is about 0.9 to 1.5 meters high. Born by the water, there is no shortage of water, the soil fertility is not bad, but the growth is very poor, the bamboo poles are slender, a weak appearance of malnutrition, and the overall state is like a golden thread bamboo.

In terms of comprehensive characteristics, this bamboo species is very similar to the colorful red bamboo, and it should be a variant produced by genetic mutation.

"Zebrabu, what kind of bamboo is this? Do you know each other? The rat king asked and said casually: "I have eaten it, this kind of bamboo is particularly unpalatable, bitter taste, I suggest you don't plant too much." ”

"Do bamboo poles taste bitter?" Banbu said excitedly: "This is a new bamboo species, a variant of colorful red bamboo, so let's name it Colorful Bitter Bamboo!" ”

The Rat King asked suspiciously, "Banbu, why are you so happy?" What is the use of bamboo seeds, which are low and short, and the bamboo poles are particularly unpalatable? ”

It's not that the rat king is stupid, it has no inheritance memory, and it lacks knowledge, so it's hard to understand how important the existence of a bamboo seed that blooms and bears seeds every year is. It didn't even understand what a huge fortune this bamboo seed would produce if it fell into the hands of Banbu.

"Of course it works! Rat King, you should learn to grow bamboo, you are very smart, and you have some advanced knowledge, I will pass it on to you in the future. Banbu looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, pointed with his antennae, and asked:

"Rat King, have you looked for it on the mountain?"

"I found it." The Rat King said: "There are still several places on the mountain where colorful red bamboos and spotted cloth grow, do you still need this dwarf bamboo species?" ”

"Yes! Absolutely! Dig more and bring it back with you when you go. Banbu thought for a moment and muttered, "It's still early, just run a few more times and dig enough at once!" ”

……

Late at night, return to the mine.

Li Zhu jumped up and down happily when he heard that he had not only found the red bamboo and purple bamboo he was looking forward to, but also found a brand new bamboo species that seemed to be able to bloom and bear seeds every year.

"Banbu, quick, take me to see the colorful bitter bamboo you said!"

Banbu was much more rational and said, "Li Zhu, now, there is something important, we have to discuss it carefully." ”

Li Zhu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ban said: "The warriors of the Yotei Mountains are also looking for bamboo seeds, and the rat king is staying in the bamboo sea, and they can't easily go out to find bamboo seeds, so I plan to bring them back to the Jinping Mountains to help me dig a pond and open up the bamboo sea." ”

Li Zhu agreed without thinking about it: "They are good at digging, good idea!" ”

Banbu continued: "I plan to transplant more colorful red bamboos and colorful bitter bamboos, the number of Li Zhufeng Yunsi golden bamboos is too small, and I urgently need to transplant a batch. ”

Li Zhu asked, "What about the purple bamboo and the red bamboo?" These two bamboo species are equally precious! ”

"Yes, purple bamboo and red bamboo are both precious and rare bamboo species, and they should also be transplanted more to prevent accidents. ”

Li Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Banbu, we can't move so much at one time!" ”

"So, I need to make a few more trips." Banbu asked, "Iron Knife Peak Huhua is a high-level warrior, you can carry more every trip, can you ask it to help?" The development of the bamboo sea also requires a large number of bamboo stalks of hemp bamboo, water bamboo, pu bamboo and moso bamboo, and I plan to ask you for help to dig from the bamboo sea. Li Zhu, how about I pay each of you 100 rough stones as a reward? ”

Li Zhu said: "Of course I have no opinion, I can ask the gourd, in winter, everyone has nothing to do, it should be possible." ”

After careful deliberation, the next day, during the day, they inspected the location of the bamboo species, and at night, Banbu and Hei Sang set off with seven bamboo rat warriors such as the Rat King, walked along the Jinjiang River, and returned to Li Zhufeng by land.

Li Zhu excavated three colorful red bamboos, flew in the air, took the lead in returning, and then asked for the help of the gourd, and traveled back and forth between the two mountain ranges together, excavating and transporting bamboo seeds.

In order to ensure the survival rate and quickly realize cross-breeding, the low colorful red bamboo and colorful bitter bamboo are dug together with the soil, and the bamboo poles are retained. The bamboo pole is slightly higher, and half of the bamboo pole is retained.

Purple and red bamboo poles are tall and can only dig bamboo stalks and underground stems.

Five days later, Madara returned with a seven-headed bamboo rat warrior.

Act now and arrange for them to dig up the river and open up the planned river first.

Banbu stayed to be the on-site commander and no longer dispatched, and Li Zhu and Hu Zhu were responsible for transplanting bamboo seeds.

Colorful red bamboo and colorful bitter bamboo are planted next to the pond that has been carved out.

The golden bamboo is planted in the mountains.

In this way, the initial hybridization experiment can be carried out next year.

The seeds of the colorful bitter bamboo are planned to be sown after the beginning of spring, and the hybridization experiment will be successful next year, and large-scale mass production should be achieved the year after next.

The two bamboo species of red bamboo and purple bamboo are too rare, and I am afraid that they need to be developed for four or five years to grow to a certain scale before they dare to carry out the first breeding experiment.
