Stop-and-go.

The sultry wind blowing on his face brought Zheng Wenlou a strange sense of comfort.

That's why he chose the desert over the deep mountains and forests.

The damp and gloomy primeval jungle is very unsuitable for Xiao Tong to live, and the endless bacteria and poisonous insects make people feel tricky, and the empty desert greatly eliminates this factor, because the ultraviolet rays carried by the scorching sun can destroy most of the harmful bacteria, and the remaining poisonous insects that can survive in the desert are pitiful, at least he doesn't have to check Xiao Tong's body every moment in the forest, he is afraid that poisonous insects will crawl on Xiao Tong when he is not careful.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and even there are few insects, for example, now, he has walked a long way without seeing a few poisonous insects, if he changes to the jungle, he doesn't know what spiders, centipedes, beetles, caterpillars and other little guys crawl on his body.

Although the desert is an extremely harsh environment in the eyes of ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a scenic spot for him and Xiaotong.

"Photosynthesis?" Zheng Wenlou clenched his fist, the abundant sunlight made him feel a gentle force flowing in his body all the time, and his body grew slowly like a tree.

This is a good thing, and he is happy to do so, at this time his huge body is moving towards three and a half meters.

Getting stronger and stronger makes him more confident to take care of and protect Xiaotong.

"If only I could command these guys too. Zheng Wenlou set his sights on the goalkeeper and the newcomer.

At this time, the two big ants were strolling around, the sun-scorched gravel made them dare not stop for too long, and the thick limbs and legs of a dozen billiard cues were replaced in turn like ghost animals, which made him laugh.

Although the action is somewhat ridiculous, the body size of more than one meter is terrifying to the animals living in the wasteland.

A few marmots saw the goalkeeper from a distance and immediately panicked into the hole, not even the food that had just arrived, if Zheng Wenlou, who was a tree man, made the animals feel strange, then the goalkeeper and the black eight These beasts are clearly looking like I don't want to mess with.

Zheng Wenlou looked at it interestingly, and for the first time glanced at these strange beasts.

It seems that it is not bad to let them stay by Xiaotong's side, it can deter animals and beasts, and when Xiaotong grows up and understands, he doesn't have to stay by his side all the time like a watcher.

Walking and walking, Zheng Wenlou soon came to his destination.

In a small patch of shrubs, there are several small saplings.

.........

.........

"It's poplar. ”

Zheng Wenlou looked at it for a while and recognized the varieties of these saplings.

There are many plants in the desert, each of which adapts to the arid and harsh wind-blown sand environment in its own unique way, among which the rhizome of the poplar tree can penetrate into the stratum below 20 meters to absorb water, which is one of the rarer tree species in nature, and is also known as the backbone of the desert.

However, what he was looking for was a tree with straight branches, such as red willow and aspen, which could be used to make furniture, and it might be troublesome to replace it with poplar trees, because the poplar trees he saw during this time in the desert were all crooked and crooked, which did not meet his requirements.

"It's all poplars, so they won't be too crooked when they grow up. ”

Zheng Wenlou said to himself, the neighborhood is too desolate, if you want to find other trees, you have to go farther, but for the sake of the characteristics of Populus euphratica that are resistant to cold and high temperatures, he didn't think about it anymore, and immediately decided to use these saplings.

Although he doesn't like it, the poplar tree is really powerful, with the reputation of "being born for a thousand years without dying, not falling down for a thousand years after death, and being immortal after a thousand years of falling", it is indeed enough to make furniture, but he has too high requirements for Xiaotong's bed.

He has taken refuge in the desert, and if he doesn't even pursue this, then he has nothing to do with salted fish.

After deciding, Zheng Wenlou immediately dealt ruthlessly to these "compatriots".

Under the saplings was a layer of dry shrubs, which were very sloping, and it was very messy, and it took great difficulty for him to clear a clearing, and then to observe the situation.

It's a habit he's been getting started at the train station, and looking around before doing things will keep him safe.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, after finding that there is nothing unusual, Zheng Wenlou continued to work.

"By the way, what kind of tree am I?" With such a strange thought, Zheng Wenlou dug and dug and dug when suddenly a snake came out from under the root of the tree, which immediately startled him.

"Shhhh The two-meter-long snake spat out its scarlet tongue, the head of the snake was raised high, and the cold snake eyes demonstrated towards him in a kingly manner.

"Scare me, I'm too long, right? I'll leave it to you. ”

Zheng Wenlou was immediately happy, there was such a fool who was not afraid of death, he was quick with his hands, he grabbed the head of the snake directly, and then no matter what kind of black snake it was, he threw his arm towards the goalkeeper who was wandering around.

The beasts were startled by the snake that suddenly flew over, but after being surprised, they couldn't wait to surround them one by one.

More than a dozen bigwigs appeared around, and immediately scared the black snake to tremble, and it no longer had the domineering spirit just now.

When did the ants and mosquitoes get mixed up? And it's so big? The black snake said that he had never seen it, and his little heart couldn't stand such an irritating thing.

Zheng Wenlou didn't need to see the ending of the black snake to know, but Xiao Tong, who was sleeping in her stomach, was awakened, but she just sniffed her nose, and then fell asleep in a daze, which surprised Zheng Wenlou and hurriedly slowed down her movements.

.........

.........

The rhizomes of poplar seedlings are not deep, and after digging up the sand below, Zheng Wenlou pulled them out one by one with brute force.

At this time, the black snake had been broken by the goalkeeper and the newcomer, and was lying on the ground half-dead without moving.

Seeing that they didn't eat, Zheng Wenlou walked over and stepped on the snake's head, ending Xiao Hei's life.

The snakeskin is also good, he is very short of resources now, as long as there is something valuable for him to use, he will not miss it.

Collect it, and even if you don't use it now, it will always come in handy later.

Zheng Wenlou felt like he was in a survival and evolution game, but this game was real.

"God, you really understand me, you know that I like to play survival games, and I got this out. ”

With a self-deprecating smile, Zheng Wenlou sorted out the harvest of this trip, and the goalkeeper and newcomers naturally became coolies.

When he went back, he plucked a few clusters of red Luobuma and sand jujube in a bush, and he was bored anyway, so it would be good to get a few potted plants and decorate them in his bare home.

In the future, I will make a small garden with desert characteristics to cultivate my sentiments, so as not to live an ascetic-like life.

"I knew I would bring a radio when I came out, and it would be nice to listen to the news every day. ”

With all kinds of strange thoughts, Zheng Wenlou returned to "home" with a large army.

In the days that followed, Zheng Wenlou took his daughter to settle in this desert far from the world.

In the prosperous 21st century, there are new things happening every day, the rich enjoy it, the poor struggle it, and there are happiness and loss in living in a colorful world, but people are always in the embrace of the big environment, no one knows, and no one knows, in the remote desert lives a tree man, and his daughter.

Zheng Wenlou repaired the house every day, made furniture, looked for materials, listened to the wolf howl at night, and gave the goalkeeper a few whips when he was free.
