Chapter 11:
Lin Ling stared at the teeth that Xiaolu had not had time to withdraw, and asked it through gritted teeth: "Are you stealing my meat?"
Xiaolu shook the oil on the leaves: I accidentally fell into it.
"You actually stole my meat!" People who lived in the apocalypse were very protective of food, Lin Ling was so angry that she planned to save this meat for a few months, so don't let Xiaolu give it up!
Xiaolu took a few steps back: I'll help you look at the meat!
"I didn't expect you to be a carnivorous plant." Lin Ling took Xiaolu and threw it aside. It seemed that the meat in the pot was fortunately not passive, otherwise she would be **** off: "Aren't you afraid of diarrhea?"
Lin Ling put the meat in the cabinet and locked it up. After putting it away, she turned and looked at the two leaves above Xiaolu's head, "Your teeth grow on the leaves?"
Xiaolu shook her body and said no.
Lin Ling didn't believe its nonsense, "If you steal my meat again, I'll tear off your leaves."
The two leaves on the top of Xiaolu's head rolled up immediately. If the leaves had a face, it must be the appearance of a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Stop pretending to be pitiful to me!" Lin Ling poked Xiaolu, "If you stole my food, you have to work for me!"
Little Green shook the leaves: What kind of work are you doing?
"When we came back, there seemed to be some firewood in the place where we took the firewood. You go and bring back the remaining dry firewood!" Lin Ling explained to Xiaolu, and then went out to water the vegetable field with a bucket.
The unreasonable little green hopped and walked towards the other direction of the village with drooping leaves, humming as she walked: little green vine, yellow ground, two or three years old, motherless...
Lin Ling, who was carrying water to irrigate the ground, heard Xiaolu's heartfelt voice, and her feet slipped. It seemed that she had received too few beatings!
Lin Ling went to fetch water from the pond, and the **** fish was spraying water vigorously. Seeing her pass by, she wagged her tail happily: You are here, look, I sprayed a lot of water again.
"Da Hei is awesome." Lin Ling looked at the hard-working Big Black Fish, and immediately felt that it was much more reliable than Little Green. Meat, "Is today's meat delicious?"
The **** fish is delicious.
Lin Ling: "As long as you like delicious food, I will share some meat with you when I find meat later."
The **** fish circled happily: I want meat with more fat.
"Okay, big black, work hard! When you find it, I will give you fat and plentiful meat." Lin Ling drew a big and round pancake for **** fish, hoping it would enjoy eating it.
The **** fish happily replied: I will work hard!
Lin Ling fetched water and went to water the field. The potatoes and vegetables in the field looked weak due to the lack of water. After she poured the water, the potatoes and vegetable seedlings returned to green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After watering the vegetable field, Lin Ling fetched water again to irrigate the silk grass and saplings on the mountain. Now that there is more water in the pond, she is more generous in watering. A sapling can get two ladles of water, so you can drink enough water After that, the leaves on the branches turned green again.
There are not many places where the grass grows, and Lin Ling will finish watering it in a while. She looked down at the bare, scorched black mountain with only a little bit of green, and she was a little anxious. Watering is a big problem now, and it is too slow to carry water back and forth every day. If the ability is born, it will take a few years for the tree to grow at this rate.
We still have to quickly find generators and diesel to solve the watering problem.
Yesterday she walked more than 20 kilometers to the south, and the farther and farther she went, she still couldn't find what she wanted. After a few days, she went north to the urban area to have a look. She remembered that the country sent a car to take her here. A city may gain something.
At about five o'clock, Lin Ling returned to the yard with the bucket in hand. Just as she reached the gate of the yard, a pine cone rolled to her feet.
Lin Ling glanced down at the pine cones, and then looked at Xiaolu, the culprit who threw the pine cones. It was standing on top of a pile of dry firewood, playing with the pine cones on top of leaves, "Is it fun?"
Little Green trembled in fright, the pine cones on the leaves fell and hit its vines directly, it didn't care about crying out for pain, and pointed to the firewood to please Lin Ling: I brought all these firewood back.
"It's amazing." Lin Ling bent down to pick up two pine cones and was about to throw them into the woodpile. When he lifted them up, he heard a rustling sound inside the pine cones.
Lin Ling looked at the pine cone in surprise, opened its pine scales, and saw a few pine nuts sandwiched between the pine scales, bright in color, large and even, and looked very good.
Lin Ling broke apart the two pine nuts and inspected them carefully. He picked up five pine nuts, then picked out more than a dozen pine nuts from the woodpile, and took out about thirty pine nuts from it.
Xiaolu looked at Lin Ling's actions suspiciously: eat?
Pine nuts are edible, and they are said to be very nutritious, but Lin Ling thought of an excellent method just now, this kind of pine nuts have not been roasted, nor have they been bitten by insects, so she can use them all to grow!
"Where did you find these pine cones? Are there any more?"
Little Green said there was more.
"Take me to have a look." Lin Ling urged Xiaolu to take her there.
The place where Xiaolu moved the firewood was very close to where Lin Ling moved the firewood in the afternoon. It was on the hillside behind the dilapidated house. There were several big stones on the hillside.
This dent is a natural shelter that can shelter from wind and rain, surrounded by stones, so the fire cannot burn through, which should be the reason why these firewood can survive to this day.
Lin Ling couldn't find a lot of pine cones in the woodpile. Basically, there were pine nuts in the pine cones, and he picked up a large handful of pine nuts.
At this time, it was almost getting dark. After what happened last night, Lin Ling didn't want to slander her for walking at night, so she packed up her things and headed home: "It's getting dark, let's go back first."
Little green entangled: there are many pine cones below.
"Don't worry, come back tomorrow." Lin Ling took Xiaolu home first, and before it was completely dark, she sprinkled the seeds she brought back into the vegetable field that had been watered in the afternoon. The soil was still wet. Just right for sowing.
After Lin Ling buried the seeds in the soil, he activated his supernatural power, and the seeds soon germinated and saplings grew out, "Grow them in the ground first, and I will transplant you there in two days."
When she returned home after growing the pine nut seedlings, Xiaolu ran to ask her for credit: I helped you find the seeds.
Lin Ling looked at it with a half-smile: "What do you want to say?"
Little Green doesn't hide that she can also be a carnivorous plant: meat.
Lin Ling cast a sideways glance at Xiaolu, "Are you still offering meat to me?"
Little Green shook the leaves: I will help you find so many seeds.
"So what?" Lin Ling tapped her fingers on the table, "Don't you know why you went to carry firewood?"
The two leaves on the top of Xiaolu's head drooped: I have already made up for it when I brought firewood back. Isn't the pine cone seed another matter?
"It is indeed another matter, but I discovered the pine nuts." Lin Ling snorted softly: "Little green, you have to look like a plant when you are a plant. You can't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, you will be hated by others. You know don't know?"
Xiaolu shook the leaves, and curled up Lin Ling's fingers unhappily, which meant that Lin Ling wanted her to look good if she didn't agree.
Lin Ling pulled his fingers out of Xiaolu's body: "Pine nuts are impossible, but if you can help me find seeds from other trees, I can give you some."
Xiaolu tilted her head: Really?
Lin Ling hummed: "I mean what I say."
Xiaolu shook the leaves, thinking about where to find the tree seeds that could be planted.
Originally, it was just Lin Ling's excuse to send Xiaolu away, but he didn't expect it to pay attention. The next morning, when Lin Ling woke up, it disappeared.
Lin Ling wasn't worried about Xiaolu either, it was so small and it didn't smell like meat, so there was no need to worry about it being eaten by mutant beasts.
After Lin Ling woke up, she went to the place where she picked up pine nuts yesterday. She rummaged through all the firewood in the crevice, picked up a lot of seeds, and carried the firewood back for later use after picking up the pine nuts.
After working all morning, he finally brought all the firewood back home. Lin Ling straightened his hair that was covered with pine hair and weeds, and then went out with a **** on his shoulder.
When passing by the vegetable field, I saw the pine saplings that were seeded last night. They were green and the crown was like a small pyramid. It was 20 centimeters high and could be transplanted directly to the mountain outside.
"After the pits are dug, I will transplant you." Lin Ling carried a **** to a distant hill. Since the pine trees had few seeds, the distance between each pit was four or five meters.
It took three days to dig the tree pits in the surrounding hills, and the next step was to transplant the saplings. When digging the saplings, she squeezed the soil that was originally connected, and then removed them to the hills together.
In the past few days, I have finally gotten used to the surrounding environment in the soil, and suddenly I have to change the soil again. I am afraid it will not be easy for the pine seedlings to survive. In addition, she stimulates the ability to make the pine nuts germinate and grow, so it is best to let them slow down by themselves. Slow growth, unless she is going to help after death.
Lin Ling first dug out the pine saplings one by one. There were more than 1,500 pine saplings in total, and a hundred were sparsely planted in each hillock. These pine saplings just filled the dozen or so surrounding hillocks.
After planting the pine saplings, Lin Ling began to carry water to water the saplings again. One sapling can water 20 trees with one scoop of water. After more than 40 trips back and forth, the saplings were finally watered.
After watering the saplings, Lin Ling was already exhausted, but looking down at the bit by bit of emerald green on the hilltops, she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. Although she only planted a dozen nearby hillocks for now, sooner or later she would let Fangyuan The emerald green is restored within ten miles!
"Grow it quickly, I will have firewood when I grow up." Lin Ling has high hopes for these saplings, firstly to improve the environment, and secondly to provide firewood.
Lin Ling looked at the barren hillocks in the distance: "Xiaolu, come on and find seeds, look at those hillocks in the distance and they haven't been planted with saplings yet."
In the past few days, Xiaolu has been running outside, and after searching all over the place, she has not found any new firewood or seeds. If she does not find seeds, she will have no way to share the meat. Xiaolu lay on Lin Ling's shoulders in frustration: Fuji is hard!
