Chapter 17: Companions
After having a good time, Xia Qing sprayed the gaps between the doors and windows, the bathroom and the kitchen drains with disinfectant, and laid a sleeping bag on the other side of the fire to prepare for sleep.
The medicinal effect of the soothing capsule is 10 hours on ordinary people, and it is estimated that it will only be six hours at most when used on a weak evolutionary sheep, Xia Qing is afraid that it will knock his house into a few big holes after the medicinal strength, and he will not feel at ease if he does not keep it.
Xia Qing slept in a daze, and when the fire gradually turned from bright to dark, the sheep boss on the opposite side opened his eyes, his limbs twitched slightly, stood up and shook the fluffy and curly wool all over his body, and took two steps back away from the fire.
Xia Qing immediately opened his eyes, got out of his sleeping bag and stood up, staring at the sheep boss.
"Huh."
Although the sheep boss's cry was weak, it sounded like a normal sheep, Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Want to go out?" ”
The sheep boss squinted his eyes and raised his head, raised his nose and sniffed, and the sheep's hooves stepped on the floor tiles, and Da went to the kitchen to cook.
Yes, the dishes prepared by yourself are cheap sheep bosses. Xia Qing leaned against the door frame and yawned lazily, "I'll go back to your shed when I'm full." ”
The sheep boss finished eating the vegetables in the basket, and Da came back and chose a place a little far away from the fire to lie down, squinting and not moving.
Xia Qing saw that it didn't mean to fight, so he agreed, "It's okay to sleep tonight, but if you dare to poop and pee in the house, I will slaughter you and eat meat." ”
The sheep boss squinted and didn't move.
"I've gone crazy out of control once, and I guess I can't eat the meat, and I asked my sister to bathe you and drive back the worms, you are a blessing in disguise." Xia Qing yawned and slowly closed her eyes.
After lying on his side for a while, the sheep boss changed his position.
Xia Qing immediately opened his eyes when he heard the movement, and saw that its two front legs were stretched forward, its head and neck slowly sank, and it was pillowed on the two front legs. Not counting the weight of the head, just its two big horns will cost ten pounds, and it is not afraid of crushing the two slender legs. Xia Qing smiled silently, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Boss Yang stared at Xia Qing for a while, stared at the fire for a while, and closed his eyes for a long time.
One person and one sheep slept until dawn, and the first to wake up was the sheep boss. As soon as it stood up, Xia Qing immediately woke up when he heard the movement, got up and opened the door to let it out.
After the sheep boss was convenient in the yard, he turned around and went to eat the evolved perilla that Xia Qing put on the shelf of the sheep shed.
The weeds in the yard swelled wildly overnight, and they were taller than Xia Qing's calves at this time, but judging by the reaction of the sheep boss, there should be no danger in the yard.
Xia Qing baked herself two fragrant toon jade pastries for breakfast, which tasted quite good.
After nibbling on the cake, thinking about the sheep boss who seemed to be fat and strong, but in fact had no meat on the bone shelf, Xia Qing found the sheep raising book he had collected. According to the pictures and text introduction in the book, after Xia Qing confirmed that the sheep boss belonged to the small-tailed Han sheep, he carefully looked at the habits of the small-tailed Han sheep and couldn't help laughing.
A large part of the book introduces how delicious the small-tailed cold mutton is, how fast it reproduces, how good the quality of the fur is, etc., and finally talks about how adaptable this sheep environment is very strong.
It is indeed quite strong, otherwise the sheep boss would not be alive in the last ten years, and his height and weight exceed 1.5 times that of an adult ram in Shushan.
After evolution, many creatures have become larger, and so have humans.
During the Great Evolution of Blue Star Creatures, the evolutionary characteristics of human beings were marked at the age of 25. After the age of 25, there will be no significant changes in body shape after evolution; However, if you are under 25 years old, your body size will increase significantly. Xia Qing was only 1.61 meters tall when she evolved at the age of sixteen, and now that she is 25 years old, she has grown to 1.77 meters, and she inexplicably feels that she will grow taller.
Because it is said on the radio that after human evolution, not only has the height increased, but the lifespan has also been extended, of course, this is just research data, under the harsh conditions of natural disasters, how many people can live to the end of their lives?
"Concentrate?" Xia Qing flipped to the page of small-tailed Han sheep breeding and found that there were corn and salt in several concentrate recipes, "Sheep also need to eat salt?" ”
Xia Qing's gaze turned to her own grain box, she had cornmeal, but ......
…… Reluctant......
I'll talk about it when her life is better in the future.
Xia Qing turned to several kinds of pasture grasses with high nutritional value for sheep, and wrote down the names and appearances.
After eating, Xia Qing put on protective clothing and pulled out all the grass in the yard. The grass that grows crazy in the rain must be uprooted and fried, otherwise the root system will still grow and damage the environment.
After destroying another litter of highly destructive evolutionary ants, it began to rain again. Xia Qing used half a basin of purified water placed under the eaves of the corridor to wash the mud off the coverall, and just as he was about to open the door and enter the house, the sheep boss came over with a click.
Xia Qing didn't move, staring at its dirty hooves
When the sheep boss began to plow the ground with his front hooves impatiently, Xia Qing sighed and opened the door to let it in. What if you don't let it in, and then fight and get two bodies of mud?
She didn't want to spend that effort, and besides, the sheep boss didn't defecate in the open, and there was nothing strange on his body, and it was nothing to enter the house.
Seeing the sheep boss entering the house and lying by the extinguished fire, squinting and regurgitating, Xia Qing sprayed some insect repellent and closed the door tightly, took off his protective clothing and protective mask, and hung it on the homemade hanger by the door.
Turning around, he found the sheep boss chewing on the grass that ruminated from his stomach to his mouth, staring at his protective suit, as if he wanted to take two bites and taste it. Xia Qing immediately glared at it and frightened it, "Look at what, this must not be bitten, otherwise the old lady will stew you." ”
The sheep boss squinted, continued to star, and continued to regurgitate.
Xia Qing carried a broom to sweep away the ashes of the grass and trees on the stone slab, and then set up dry firewood and lit it. The main purpose of lighting a fire in a house is not to keep warm, but to smoke away the moisture in the house and to repel evolutionary insects.
After the fire was lit, Xia Qing found that the sheep boss was still staring at the protective suit and tinkering with the grass in its mouth, so he muttered while pulling the fire, "Don't look at this protective clothing with several patches, it is worth 1500 points, and it is the best protective clothing I can buy in the safe zone." Without this skin, I don't know how many times I've died. Boss, can you understand what I'm saying? ”
"I definitely don't understand, although your ancestors are domestic, but you are pure wild, no one has seen a few, how can you understand human words, how old are you?" Xia Qing roasted his hands by the flames that came up, and continued to chatter, "It's a pity that there are no sweet potatoes, chestnuts and peanuts, otherwise we can roast and eat." ”
After her father's death, Xia Qing rarely talked nonsense, and today listening to the rain outside, and guarding a fire with the sheep boss, she suddenly got angry and had a strong desire to talk, "Have you ever seen a sweet potato in the evolution forest?" It's delicious. ”
The sheep boss squinted at the dancing flames, and although he did not dare to approach, he did not seem to be very afraid of the fire.
After Xia Qing warmed up, he took out the half-made chair from the tool room and continued to work. Although the element content of this rain is not high, it did not make her as irritable as yesterday, but she is also idle.
After the chair was ready, Xia Qing sat down and tried it, it was very stable, very good, and she finally had her first decent piece of furniture.
Seeing that the sheep boss was staring at his chair again, Xia Qingle hehe, "How is it, not bad?" I learned from the carpenters in the construction team when I was in the safe zone that I didn't need a single nail. ”
Xia Qing got up, went to the window to check the yard, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "I just pulled it out, and it's growing again!" ”
