Chapter 402: Picky Eater
Shao Xuan transcribed all the cloud patterns that could be cracked on a scroll of animal skins, and wrote down the other part that could not be cracked at this stage on another sheet, and then cleaned it up and slept for two days in a row.
After resting, Shao Xuan's previous state of being tossed by the cloud pattern was gone, and he got up energetically, noticed that there was a sound of talking in the backyard, and thought of those seedlings, so he went to the backyard.
During this time, the five people led by Quan Bai of the Taihe tribe almost lived directly in the Yanjiao tribe, followed Qiqi and them up the mountain every day, and went to Shao Xuan's backyard to take care of those thousand golden seedlings.
When Shao Xuan opened the back door and looked at the backyard, he found that there were more than a dozen old men and old ladies squatting in his backyard, and there were people standing outside the backyard who stretched their necks and looked in.
Look at the seedlings in the ground, look at the height, they are already past Shao Xuan's knees, green, and in good condition.
Seeing Shao Xuan, Qi Qi, Quan Bai and others, who were squatting around the field, hurriedly stood up.
"What's wrong?" asked Shao Xuan.
With confusion and excitement on his face, Qi Qi replied, "There are still sixty-two plants left." ”
Some time ago, there was also a situation of seedlings dying here, seeing the seedlings that began to wilt, Qi Qi and Quan Bai and others were powerless for a while, and they even planned to give up, but soon, they found that not all seedlings that grew to such a height appeared in this kind of malaise, and most of them were still fine!
It was suggested that the seedlings that were beginning to wither should be pulled out, and he felt that the seedlings were infected with a disease if they were left in the ground, and they would definitely spread to other seedlings. At that time, when they planted in the Taihe tribe, they were a little reluctant at first. Later, when I saw that more and more seedlings appeared like this, I directly uprooted them, but unfortunately, in the end, they were all wiped out.
However, after thinking about it, Qi Qi did not pull it out directly, and they also used the method of directly pulling out the sick seedlings in the ten fields. But in the end, it didn't work, it was the same whether it was pulled out or not. So I didn't care about it, and I still stayed in the field.
Fortunately, the other 60 or so plants have been growing healthily, and day by day, there is no sick situation, and Qi Qi's worries are gradually put down, which makes her happy.
Shao Xuan looked at a few dead seedlings in the field and didn't pay much attention to it. More than 60 plants can live, which is beyond expectations. Shao Xuan originally thought that he would eat the remaining grains if he couldn't grow a job, but now it seems that he would have to wait.
Several people in Taihe were very concerned about Shao Xuan's attitude, for fear that Shao Xuan would drive them away, and they would be very peaceful, even if they were teased and joked by Duokang several times. There was no quarrel either. Seeing that Shao Xuan didn't say anything to drive people away, Quan Bai was slightly relieved. At the same time, he was also thinking about why these thousand golden seedlings in Shao Xuan's backyard could survive that "hurdle"? Could it be that the seeds given are different?
Thinking of this, Quan Bai denied it again, and all the people they planted were wiped out, so Shao Xuan would not use inferior seeds to fool Qi Qi and the others.
Why, exactly?
Shao Xuan didn't know either, but he wasn't so persistent.
Go back to the house. Shao Xuan thought of something and opened the storage room where the food was stored. The storage room is at the back door, next to the kitchen, and Shao Xuan sometimes takes food directly from the storage room and goes directly to the next door to eat.
Shao Xuan remembered that he was busy with cloud patterns during this time. I didn't even use a pot, I didn't cook soup, I didn't roast meat, I kept eating prepared jerky, so it was convenient, when I was hungry, I ate a piece of jerky and drank some water, and then continued to crack those moires.
Thinking back again, Shao Xuan still remembered that after preparing the jerky at that time, in addition to the pickled animal meat, he also left a fresh animal leg, planning to roast and eat, because at that time, he had just come back from hunting, and he brought more loot, and the animal leg had no place to put it, so he temporarily threw it on the ground with the skin, and when he packed up other things in the storage room and planned to barbecue the meat, he suddenly had an inspiration, threw down the work at hand and ran to crack the moire, and he didn't enter the storage room again after being busy.
It stands to reason that the animal leg that has not undergone any pickling and air-drying treatment will rot in the storage room, but Shao Xuan did not smell a strong smell of rot.
Opening the door of the storage room, Shao Xuan looked inside. Light came in from the window, and the inside was clear.
Shao Xuan's gaze stayed on the ground, where there was a piece of animal skin, the raised part was similar to the shape of the bone, but the other parts had sunk down and stuck to the ground.
In addition to this, there is something else on the hide.
Shao Xuan took a closer look and found that it was something similar to the root system of a plant, very thin, slightly white, as if it could be torn off with a random pull, however, it was these seemingly weak things that went up from the ground to the whole animal skin, and then from another place, through the animal skin again, and pierced into the ground.
It's the skin of a ferocious beast! A stone knife with a slightly worse stone quality can't cut through it!
But now, this animal skin seemed to be sewn on the ground, Shao Xuan pulled it slightly, but he couldn't pull it, he had to use force. It's just that Shao Xuan didn't plan to forcibly tear it off for the time being, he used his black short knife to cut through the animal skin, and under the animal skin, there was almost no flesh and blood, only bones.
The beast leg that Shao Xuan threw here was about a meter long, however, now only skin and bones remained!
Where do those white roots come from?
Shao Xuan got up and looked out the window.
On the other side of the window, there is the backyard, and now there are only those thousand grains of gold, and even the weeds have become weak! Now because of the care of Qiqi, they pull out the weeds when they see them, but what about before? Before Qiqi came, there were still no weeds in the yard!
Shao Xuan gently kicked the white thin roots that had passed through the animal skin with his foot, and went out to take a closer look around the house, but he didn't find that this kind of white fine roots still appeared in other places.
Using the special ability vision, Shao Xuan saw that under the ground, the thin root did extend from the place where the thousand grains of gold were planted in the backyard, but the ground behind it was too deep, and Shao Xuan couldn't see what the ground looked like clearly.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan didn't tell Qi Qi about this for the time being, and he wasn't sure if it was the root of a thousand grains of gold, and he didn't throw beast meat to the ground in the house anymore.
Another ten days passed.
The seedlings in the yard are in condition.
Qi Qi and Quan Bai were very anxious, and a few of them began to look sluggish, they were worried, and some people speculated whether they had encountered a second "hurdle".
Quanbai also went back to the Taihe tribe and brought some special fertilizers, from animal processing fertilizers to plant residue fertilizers, all of which made the malaise a little alleviated, and the sick plants did not increase again, but the already sick ones ran directly to the direction of death, no matter how they saved Quanbai, they couldn't save it.
Sixty-two plants, seven plants went at once, and they were so distressed that Qi Qi and Quan Bai beat their chests, and they called it a pity.
However, after a few days, the alleviated situation changed again, and another plant became sick, and everyone really panicked. How can this be?!
Shao Xuan went to someone and asked for a piece of fresh animal meat, but he didn't clean it up, but he went to the storage room and put it on the piece of animal skin that was sewn in the ground by the roots, just above those roots.
The next day, when Shao Xuan went over to look, he found that on the white root that was exposed to the ground, another thin root appeared, and the thin root was rooted in the piece of animal meat.
The change in the flesh was obvious, shrinking every day, until at last only a piece of skin remained, and a thin white root sticking out of it. Similar to the previous situation.
After that, the thousand-grain golden plants in the backyard, except for the three that already had a tendency to wither, the remaining fifty-two plants did not appear sick again. This made Qi Qi and Quan Bai greatly relieved, but also wondered what it was and why. Shao Xuan didn't explain it to them.
Shao Xuan stared at the two pieces of animal skins on the ground, was silent for a long time, and patted the thin root that penetrated the animal skin with his knife.
"A thousand grains of gold, what a picky eater!"
As the days passed, the elongated and lanceolate leaves on the thousand golden plants gradually increased and lengthened, and swayed very mentally in the wind.
And after discovering those white fine roots in the storage room, every time Shao Xuan came back from hunting, he would also cut off some beast meat and put it on the ground of the storage room.
The mountain is a big place, and there is still a little distance between each family, and other people's families will not throw fresh animal meat on the ground for a long time, and it is only here that Shao Xuan forgot to clean up because he was busy, so this situation will occur.
As soon as Shao Xuan stopped supplying animal meat, there would be problems in the field in the backyard, and the people who took care of the land would panic again.
Later, Shao Xuan told Qi Qi about his discovery, and took her inside to see the "eating" leftovers in the storage room, as well as the white roots.
"There may be other fertilizers that can help it grow, but for now, this is the only way to find it. Shao Xuan pointed to the animal skins on the ground and said.
Qi Qi was surprised, when Shao Xuan was still feeling that it was a waste to plant this thing, she was already excited, and said excitedly: "It's good to know the reason!"
As for the animal meat that needs to be consumed by this method, it is not a big deal, and it is not winter, and you can bring back a lot of food every time you hunt, just save it, you can eat less, but you can't save a thousand grains of gold! Now there are less than forty plants left in the field, and Qiqi does not want to see any more plants wither and die.
Beast meat? give! give! give!
After Quan Bai and the others found out, they were more active than the people in Yanjiao, shouting that if Yanjiao couldn't afford to supply it, their people from Taihe would come to provide it!
Shao Xuan didn't promise to let Quan Bai and them bring meat, he could still deal with this thing himself. However, Shao Xuan also thought that he would not plant it after planting it this time, this thing was too picky eater. (To be continued......)
