Chapter 777: Extraordinary Bean Sprouts and Brave Cubs
Further ahead, Xia Qing accurately captured a plant with abnormal magnetic sense - a green soybean seedling that seemed to have no changes.
But the violent magnetic sense of more than a dozen needles at the center of her eyebrows told Xia Qing that this soybean seedling was not in the stage of brewing aggressive evolution, but was already in the stage of aggressive evolution.
What is its attack method?
Xia Qing first glanced at the air toxin detector on her arm, which showed a green light. There was no toxin in the air, and the poison gas attack was ruled out.
She took a long wooden stick and poked the bean seedling: it shook normally, did not dance or spit, and did not shoot poison needles or grow poisonous thorns. The roots of the soybean did not jump out of the soil to make a fuss, and physical attack methods were ruled out.
Xia Qing put on antibacterial gloves, picked off a leaf and squeezed out the juice. The test confirmed that the bean seedling had a content of 8.5‰ of harmful elements, and the quality was downgraded from green light to yellow light.
"Sister Qing, what's wrong?" Peng Jian, who was pulling out the evolutionary wheat, came here and saw Xia Qing standing still, and asked.
Xia Qing pointed at several soybeans in front of her, "Do you think the color of their leaves has changed?"
Peng Jian, the visual evolver, stared at them for a few seconds and laughed embarrassedly, "I forgot what color these bean seedlings were originally... Sister Qing thinks the color has changed? It's normal that it has changed. It should be that the quality has decreased due to the inhalation of too many toxic elements."
It has been more than 8 hours since the rainy season. The content of toxic elements in the atmosphere exceeds the standard. The excessive toxic elements in the leaves of plants have broken the balance of toxic elements in the body, resulting in a decrease in plant quality. At this time, the content and proportion of various pigments contained in the leaves will also change, causing the leaves to change color.
This is the main reason why the evolution forest is different from the green forest before the natural disaster and has become colorful.
"The quality has decreased. I just tested and found that it has dropped to a yellow light. Pay attention to these bean seedlings. If you find any toxic evolution symptoms, pull them out immediately." After Xia Qing instructed Peng Jian, she pinched a few bean leaves and took them home to test them with the toxic element detector.
The toxic element detector is more precise and takes at least twenty minutes to produce the test results.
Taking advantage of this time, Xia Qing prepared concentrated feed for the sheep boss and the chickens, and then inspected the house. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she fed the remaining dozen mealworms, a small half of a green light cucumber and a bottle of pollution-free spring water to the red squirrel family.
Although she always called her red squirrel neighbor "freeloaders", in fact, Xia Qing was very tolerant of it.
Because the red squirrel led her to find green light peanuts and green light chestnut trees, filling her storage room. Therefore, the red squirrel's winter food last winter and the confinement package this spring were all provided by Xia Qing for free. Now the red squirrel returned to the sheep shed with its cubs to avoid the rain. Xia Qing prepared nutritious green light food and spring water for it because it needed to feed its cubs.
When she walked to the door of the sheep shed, she heard the sound of running and small animals drilling into the haystacks. When she opened the door and walked in, there was no mouse in the sheep shed, but the spring water in the basin was less. Xia Qing filled the water and put mealworms and cucumbers next to the basin.
After squatting down, Xia Qing felt her legs were sore and swollen, so she simply leaned back on the hay, stretched her legs and closed her eyes to rest.
This was only the first day of the second heavy rain, and she still had to fight for two days and nights, and she had to seize every opportunity to restore her strength and energy.
After finishing her meal, the sheep boss found that Xia Qing had entered the sheep shed and would not come out, so he came in. Seeing Xia Qing lying on the haystack with her eyes closed and motionless, the sheep boss immediately came over and nudged her with his big head with spiral horns.
Xia Qing did not open her eyes, raised her hand and skillfully touched the curly hair on the top of her companion's head, her voice was tired, "Don't be afraid, boss, I'm fine, I'm just tired and want to rest for a while."
After the sheep boss confirmed that Xia Qing was fine, he lay beside her and started chewing. This rhythmic and familiar sound was very hypnotic. Xia Qing relaxed her body and went to sleep peacefully.
A few minutes later, she caught the sound in the haystack with her hearing. After determining that it was a family of red squirrels, Xia Qing did not open her eyes and continued to sleep.
On the haystack more than one meter high against the wall, the little head of the red squirrel with two small ears first emerged, and then three smaller heads, and the family of four looked down in unison. After judging the distance, the red squirrel jumped to the ground, picked up the cucumber, and quickly jumped back to the haystack.
The rectangular pupils of the sheep boss raised up and returned to their original position, and continued to chew.
Although the two-month-old red squirrel cubs have not been weaned, they can already eat some solid food. Seeing their mother chewing cucumbers, the cubs also came around to chew.
Unlike the red squirrel mother who has eaten cucumbers many times, the cubs' eyes instantly widened and their fur exploded after chewing a little cucumber. After a pause of 0.1 seconds, the three cubs started the food-grabbing mode.
The sound of chewing and biting reached Xia Qing's ears, and she curled up her lips slightly and went back to sleep.
After half of the cucumber was chewed to the point of no residue left, the red squirrel mother began to pick up the green mealworms and feed them to her children.
After feeding, the red squirrel mother squatted on the haystack and began to comb her fluffy tail. The two cubs climbed up and down on their mother and played. One cub clung to the haystack and looked down with a pair of small black eyes.
After looking for a while, the cub finally plucked up the courage to climb down. The red squirrel mother glanced at it and continued to comb its big tail.
The red squirrel cub carefully crawled to the side of the food bowl, quickly ate the food residue inside, fled to the other side and stared at the two huge animals in front of it for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to crawl forward a few steps, and poked its little head over the edge of the water basin to drink a few sips of water.
Then, it hid behind the water basin with its two little ears erect, looking at the two huge animals with its black eyes.
The sheep boss was not interested in the weak red squirrel cub and continued to chew. Xia Qing didn't even open her eyes and relaxed.
After a long observation, the red squirrel cub finally took a brave step.
It fluffed up its fur, making itself look very big and powerful, and then tried several times before carefully coming to Xia Qing and eating a small cucumber seed stuck on her gloves.
After eating, the cub, who was about to escape, sniffed and changed his mind. After several more attempts, he began to carefully climb up Xia Qing's arm.
The moment this little guy touched her, Xia Qing was completely awake. If she hadn't worn a protective mask, she would have driven the speed-evolved cub away immediately to prevent it from scratching her facial skin. But Xia Qing, who was wearing a protective mask, wanted to see what the little guy was going to do, so she still lay back and relaxed.
The brave cub climbed onto Xia Qing's shoulder and squatted down. Xia Qing opened her eyes and slowly turned her eyeballs to look at the little guy squatting on her right shoulder.
If it weren't for the long, fluffy tail, the first reaction of the farmers when they saw it would definitely be to slap it to death.
But with this big tail, it feels different.
The fur of this cub is reddish-brown, and the fur on its belly should be white. One thing that is different from its mother is that there is a small tuft of hair longer than the ears on the tips of the two little ears of this little guy. These hairs can't be seen from a distance, but when you get close, you feel that these two small tufts of hair echo its big tail, which is quite beautiful.
Is this what every red squirrel has when they are young? What is the use of this long hair?
Before Xia Qing could figure it out, she heard the Yi element detector in the living room on the second floor make a "ding" sound, and the test results of soybean leaves came out.
She slowly moved her shoulders, and the alert little guy on her shoulder immediately used all four legs and climbed back to the haystack with his big tail. Xia Qing stretched her limbs and stood up, stretching her waist. The big sheep also stood up and shook his big head.
Xia Qing took out the Yi stone protective shell from her pocket, took out a soybean-sized Yi stone chain strung with a strong rope, and hung it on the haystack. This chain is prepared for the offspring of black-feathered roosters and white-feathered hens. Now the chickens are in cages, so it can be used temporarily for red squirrels.
The little guy in the haystack with two tufts of fur on his ears is the first cub in the territory to actively approach her except for the chicks.
It stayed on Xia Qing's shoulder near the Yishi. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xia Qing was willing to take out a small piece of Yishi to help it survive the rainy season.
Shortly after Xia Qing left the sheep shed with the sheep boss, the brave red squirrel cub was the first to get out of the haystack and sniff, then climbed to the Yishi chain and began to comb its fur, which was not dense enough.
