Chapter 446: Vitality
Pet the wolf?
Haha. Do you think that anyone can pet the carnivorous evolved wolf that grew up in the Evolution Forest?
Not to mention Tang Huai, even the Huzifeng team that wanders around her territory every day has not gained the trust of the wolf pack and cannot get close to the wolf pack at all.
"Squeak--"
The wooden door of the hut connected to the greenhouse rang. After a while, the sick wolf came in with a basket in its mouth, pushed open the door curtain on the earthen wall of the greenhouse, and happily wagged its tail at Xia Qing and ran over.
"Old Two is so happy, did you get something today?" Xia Qing greeted the sick wolf, took the basket and stroked its forehead.
The height of the sick wolf is about the same as that of the alpha wolf, and its shoulder height reaches 1.2 meters. It is taller when sitting than when standing. It has sharp vision, five sharp toes on its forelimbs, four hooked toes on its hind limbs, and sharp fangs. It is a well-deserved evolved beast in the Evolution Forest.
At this time, this strong and ferocious evolved wolf squatted in front of Xia Qing and raised its head, asking Xia Qing to scratch its neck.
Xia Qing naturally reached out and stroked the wolf.
She could get along well with the wolf pack mainly because she lived in the same territory and the same house as the sheep boss, and was a companion recognized by the sheep boss. The wolf pack was also the companion of the sheep boss.
The brain-evolved wolf knew that humans could treat very serious injuries, so after the broken waist wolf and the broken leg wolf were injured, the leader wolf, who did not want to give up important companions, took the risk to lead them out of the evolution forest and into the sheep boss’s territory, and used Yi stone and herbs to ask for help from the sheep boss’ companion, the human Xia Qing.
At first, Xia Qing did not trust the wolf pack. After more than four months of frequent contact, the two sides slowly established a trusting relationship.
The wolf pack that had the best relationship with Xia Qing was the one in front of him.
When it was about to be tortured to death by parasites and evolution grass seeds, it was brought to Xia Qing by the leader wolf. It was Xia Qing who exchanged medicine, asked someone to perform eye surgery on it, and patiently took care of it, which pulled it back from the brink of death.
Through the various behaviors of the sick wolf, Xia Qing confirmed that the sick wolf had regarded himself as a companion who was second only to the alpha wolf and the broken waist wolf, and was as important as the sheep boss.
After petting the wolf for a while, Xia Qing, who was so happy that she was bubbling, was surprised to see the insects it caught.
In the cold weather, most insects burrowed into the soil or dead leaves, and it was not as easy to catch insects as when the weather was warm. Therefore, Xia Qing had told his companions not to catch insects.
The sheep boss happily accepted Xia Qing's suggestion, but the sick wolf would still catch insects with a basket in his mouth when patrolling the territory every morning.
It had not harvested anything in the past two days, but it didn't expect that the harvest was - evolved cockroaches.
No matter how Blue Star evolves, cockroaches are surviving well.
The body of the evolved cockroach is longer than the middle finger raised by humans to express anger. Not only that, the sharp incisor and molar leaves on its upper and lower jaws after evolution can bite off human fingers.
In the early years of the natural disaster, many humans died under the mouth of evolved cockroaches.
During the ten years of the natural disaster, there were a large number of evolved cockroaches in every insect tide.
Before the natural disaster, Xia Qing would jump and scream when she saw a big cockroach, but now she smiled and admired the evolved cockroaches that were longer and fatter than ordinary cockroaches.
"Not bad, not bad, Lao Er can actually find such a big cockroach, our fish can eat half full."
The sick wolf shook his tail, picked up the basket skillfully and ran to the water tank, hung the basket on the water tank, and then used his claws to pull a big cockroach into the water tank.
The spring water fish that had been waiting for a long time competed for food, and the water in the water tank was churning violently. The sick wolf watched this scene with relish, and waited until they finished eating the first cockroach before putting the second one in.
Raising fish is the hobby of the sick wolf.
Xia Qing did not disturb it. After feeding the chickens and rabbits, he went to the greenhouse to check the temperature and humidity and the germination of the seeds.
There are 25 vegetable plots in the greenhouse. Xia Qing currently grows six types of green light vegetables, including alfalfa, perilla, spinach, onion, leek and pumpkin, occupying 13 vegetable plots in total. There are two types of yellow light vegetables, 100 celery and 100 lettuce, which she exchanged from the Lord Management Department not long ago, each occupying one vegetable plot.
In another vegetable plot, there are 15 strawberries, two of which she exchanged with Yang Jin, and 13 were propagated from the runners of two large strawberries. These strawberries are Xia Qing's treasures.
In addition to strawberries, there are two green light mints here.
Although the strawberries and mints are placed in the greenhouse, they are still planted in pots and watered with unpolluted spring water.
The seeds and leek roots were planted yesterday, and no changes can be seen yet. But with the 63 green light onions, mints and strawberries transplanted by Xia Qing from the terraced fields, the greenhouse is full of vitality, forming a sharp contrast with the desolate outside the greenhouse.
The ground temperature in the greenhouse is high, so the pests that have been hibernating in the soil have awakened.
The soil insecticide exchanged with Territory No. 7 can kill most insect eggs, but it cannot guarantee the killing of all pests. Territory No. 9 has chemical insecticides that can quickly kill adult insects, but Xia Qing dare not use them.
She is afraid that using this insecticide will have an adverse effect on the plants in the field.
Xia Qing squatted on the ridge of the field, using her keen hearing to find pests in the soil that may bite the seeds.
"Gulu, gurgle..."
Although she is not as good as Tang Huai, a professional insect digger, Xia Qing, who has been planting for a year, can also judge the type of insect by the sound.
This gurgling sound is made by the friction between the long earthworm's muscles and the moist body wall when moving.
The sound was so slight that Xia Qing, a level 7 auditory evolutionist, could barely catch it. Earthworms are saprophagous animals and will not eat plant roots, so there is no need to catch them.
"Crunch-Crunch-"
This is the sound of cutworms or grubs eating plant roots, which must be removed.
After locking the position, Xia Qing picked up a small hoe and accurately dug out an evolved cutworm from under the leek root, threw it into the small basket next to it, and continued to listen carefully.
After digging for half an hour and confirming that there were no pests such as mole crickets in the soil, Xia Qing clapped his hands and stood up, carrying a small basket to the greenhouse next door, and fed the few small insects he dug out to the green light chickens in the cage.
The chicken coops in the greenhouse have nets on the four sides and the top, which can not only prevent the chickens from damaging the plastic film of the greenhouse, but also allow them to contact the ground and dig insects and grass seeds from the soil.
The fastest white-feathered hen and black-feathered rooster did not swallow the food directly after grabbing it. Instead, they held the worm with their beaks with great interest and ran quickly in the big cage, which attracted other chickens to stop digging for worms and chase after them to grab food. The scene was very lively.
"Old Two, let's go find the old man and go home to eat together." Xia Qing called the sick wolf who was still watching the fish and left the greenhouse to find the sheep old man.
The sheep old man was easy to find, first because its color was too conspicuous, and second because it only liked to go to those few places where it could nibble grass.
Sure enough, Xia Qing found it under the big cypress tree, enjoying the fallen leaves.
