Chapter Seventy-Four: The Crab
They walked past the edge of the pond, but they didn't see two dragon carp, Frost Leaf and Frost Flower should be patrolling the exits of several lotus ponds now, Chen Jing had instructed them to guard there when it rained, so as not to let the fish and shrimp in the lotus pond escape along the water that overflowed out of the canal.
The two dragon carp should not be far from here, but the heavy rain has affected the vision, and they are not visible now.
Chen Jing walked around the planting area, the ridges of the terraced fields are caused by the magic power of pineal cone into stone to bond the boulders, the heavy rain has no effect on the ridges, the ridges are fine, and the impact of heavy rain on various plants in the fields is relatively limited.
The fruits and vegetables in the field were knocked off some branches and leaves and fruits in the torrential rain, but the loss was not large, and now the fruits and vegetables in the field cannot be eaten at all, and Chen Jing turned a blind eye to these losses.
The spirit grass and the spirit tree are fine, Chen Jing returned to the cave with the three little beasts, this rain should be next morning, and today the pine cone and the cocoon white will rest for a day.
In the courtyard, Liu Fei'er is training mangoes in the rain, saying that it is training, it is more like frolic, it is rare to have a rain on the mountain, and Songguo and Zhubai also ran into the rain to join in.
Chen Jing looked at the chick that followed him closely and was like a chicken in soup, waved his hand to drive away the rain on its body, and let it go back to the small building to stay, and he looked at all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants in the courtyard.
The spirit plants are not short of water, and it has rained so heavily, most of them are a little unhappy in their mood at this time, but the heavy rain will only fall for half a day, Chen Jing didn't care much, he walked back to the living room of the small building, and sat down at the stone table.
The chick Xiaolei did not go back to his nest to sleep, but jumped on a stone pier next to the stone table, lying quietly on it, watching Liu Fei'er and the three little beasts play happily in the rain, it is rare for it to be so honest.
Chen Jing made a pot of tea, and took out some walnuts as refreshments, these walnuts were picked on the way to Lingyan Mountain, when sleeping in a barren mountain, they had been baked in the oven in the kitchen, the shell was very hard, but the roasted nuts had a peculiar aroma of oil, and they tasted good.
Remembering that Xiao Lei hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he gave it a plate of walnuts, the chick had never seen walnuts, but it also ate nuts, it pecked the hard walnuts to crush, and then picked out the walnuts to eat, and it was seen that Xiao Lei also liked the taste of roasted walnuts, and it forgot about the unhappiness in the rain after eating a walnut, and began to "chirp" again.
Chen Jing drank tea and ate walnuts with Xiao Lei, he liked the heavy rain, but he preferred to stay in the house on rainy days.
After a while, Liu Fei'er had enough of playing with the three little beasts, and walked into the small building, and the junior sister's face was radiant, and it seemed that she had a lot of fun.
"Senior brother!"
She walked over and sat down beside her brother.
"Take a sip of tea! This walnut is well roasted. ”
Chen Jing reached out and poured her a cup of tea.
Walking under the eaves, the yellow light on the little Qinglin beast flashed, shaking off the rain, the mango and the white mango were full of water, and they were about to enter the house.
Mango didn't care about the water on his body at all, walked directly to Xiao Lei, picked up a walnut, and bit the walnut with a "click", and the unique aroma of oil of walnut kernels wafted out.
The little ones were all attracted by this aroma, and Chen Jing took out a bunch of walnuts and distributed them to everyone to eat.
The pine cone peels the walnut shell most easily, it stretches out its hooves and gently steps on it, the walnut shell breaks and falls off, and the walnut kernel is intact, it lowers its nostrils and blows the shell fragments away, and then eats the clean walnut kernel.
Smelling the aroma of walnut kernels, he also had some interest in this dried fruit, so he picked up a walnut and put it in front of the pine cone, and screamed.
The little cyan beast stretched out its hooves and stepped on it, helping the little white fox peel off the husk. Zhu Bai carefully ate a piece of walnut kernel, although it was not meat, but it was very fragrant, and the little fox squinted slightly.
The mango is eaten by biting the walnuts, and the walnut kernels are mixed with the fragments of the shell, and the food is a mess.
"With your claws!"
Liu Fei'er couldn't stand it anymore, picked up a walnut and showed it to the kitten, she stretched out her fingers and popped out the sword qi, and delicately peeled off the walnut shell.
"Meow."
The mango knew it, and a pale golden edge appeared on its paws, cutting through the shell of the walnut, and it quickly learned to look like it.
"When it comes to eating, mango can learn quickly." Liu Fei'er said to Chen Jing.
"Well, when Little Orange comes, I can let it train Mango."
Chen Jing responded, thinking to himself, junior sister, this is a compliment to mango?
Immediately after the rainstorm, the sun came out again.
The mountain was washed clean by the rain and dried quickly in the sun, which is why Lingyan Mountain is so barren: only the rain was so heavy and rapid, washing away all the floating soil, and there was no water left.
Chen Jing went to the lotus pond to take a look, and now the water in the pond was a little muddy, and after throwing some rice, the fish and shrimp quickly surfaced and rushed to eat, and it seemed that they didn't run away much in the heavy rain.
The two waterlines in the pond quickly approached, and the frost flowers and frost leaves jumped out of the water and showed their merits to Chen Jing.
"Well done!"
Chen Jing rewarded the dragon carp with two purple-red spirit fruits.
He walked across the small bridge across the lotus pond, two dragon carp churning and splashing beside him, on the edge of the pond, the huge green lotus leaves have grown into a piece, and there are already some tall and short flower bones have grown, and after a while you can see the lotus flowers.
The lotus flowers here grow well, and the water chestnut planted with the lotus is now gone, Chen Jing knows that the water chestnut is eaten by crabs, these crabs native to Xingji Lake have grown up now, one weighs two or three catties, they like to crush the water chestnut to eat, and eat all the water chestnut.
Water chestnut is nothing, Chen Jing is just planted casually, these crabs will also eat small fish and shrimp, and when these crabs multiply, they will definitely become a pest in the lotus pond.
But these crabs are very delicious, for foodies, this scourge is more and better, there is a crab on the small bridge in front of it spitting bubbles, I don't know when I climbed up, I saw Chen Jing walk in, this crab opened its teeth and claws, and showed two big crab claws at him.
That's a bit excessive! Chen Jing thought to himself, an invisible mana rolled up the crab and threw it into the water, the crab was originally ignorant and fearless, but when it was rolled up by the mana, it was suddenly frightened and frozen, curled up on eight legs, and sank to the bottom of the water with a grunt.
Now there are three lotus ponds, Chen Jing feels that it is still a bit less, and he decided to open a few more lotus ponds, so that when this batch of crabs gives birth to small crabs, there will be a place to raise them.
As for the food of the crabs, Songguo likes to come to the lotus pond to feed the fish and shrimp, let the little Qinglin beast get more fruits and vegetables from the terraces, Chen Jing has planted a lot of various fruits and vegetables, and some fruits and vegetables have not been eaten a few times, and they can't be eaten at all.
