Neighbors in forbidden land

Chapter 90 Fire and Black

The first problem is that our land is not enough.

The only land we can use is the caves in the test area and the soil on the bottom floor of the cabin that we paved by ourselves. The other places are basically mud without light, light without protection, and extreme winds and rainstorms are easy. The land can destroy the field we conceived.

Therefore, Yimi and Wu Shao began to study various methods.

On the experimental field side, we set aside half of the field in the cave to plant a plant called Chinese cabbage, although both Yimi and Wu Shao were very disturbed by this.

"I remember that potatoes and cabbage can be mixed..." Wu Shao scratched his head lightly, and replied with twitching corners of his mouth, "After all, my family has never grown it like this..."

"So you want to use my field as an experiment..."

"No, this is absolutely nothing?" Wu Shao just turned his face to the side, and said with a guilty conscience, "You know, I don't know much... It should be normal if something goes wrong... ..."

"So it's still an experiment after all?"

"No... I remember that I have indeed seen someone do it..." Wu Shao said cautiously, "Better than this, I should tell Your Highness Yimi some different methods first?"

"It's suspicious..."

"It's not suspicious at all..."

According to Wu Shao, Chinese cabbage is relatively easy to grow. If you control the appropriate temperature, you will not fail.

So all we have to do is to sow the tiny seeds in the divided soil, and then water it on time.

"It's surprisingly simple..." Even I couldn't help expressing emotion.

"If you think it's simple even for Xiao Hei, then it's really simple." Yimi smiled lightly.

"Although it is also possible to plant seedlings, it may be faster... But for convenience, I only brought seeds here..." Wu Shao pinched the bridge of his nose slightly, and said with a wry smile, "But generally Large-scale planting does not use this method...Although it seems very simple, I don't know what will happen in the future..."

Later we returned to the bottom of the ship in the stronghold, looking at the paved soil.

After all, it is impossible to cover the entire bottom layer with soil, and the light coming in from outside the hole is not so sufficient, so there are not many places that can actually be used for planting.

"Next is strawberry... This is a little more 'delicate' than cabbage, and it is a relatively simple fruit..." Wu Shao said while taking those tender white and green seedlings out of the bag, "We will first What you do is to keep the soil moist... Watering is a matter of time, and the next thing to do is to dig some small holes and bury these seedlings, but be careful not to bury them too deep or too shallow... Also, the distance between each plant should not be too close..."

"It's up to you and me to do this. I always feel that the three of them may not be able to control the standard you mentioned." Yimi stretched out her hand and motioned for Wu Shao to hand her the strawberry seedlings.

"I always feel underestimated by you, human being." Lan Xue questioned Yimi's words as always, but Yimi looked completely used to it.

"I just don't want to be underestimated by you, give it to me."

"Your Highness Yimi, can you..." Wu Shao looked at Yimi's closed eyes with some hesitation, and Yimi's reaction was as if he had completely seen Wu Shao's movements and demeanor:

"How long do you think I've been like this, such trivial things can be done even with eyes closed."

"yes……"

So, the three of us watched Yimi, who pulled the skirt to the base of her snow-white thighs, and Wu Shao, who looked worried, began to plant strawberry seedlings in the pile of soil.

"Your Highness Yimi...your seedling is too shallow..."

"Your Highness Yimi...don't bury the seedlings..."

"His Royal Highness Yimi... these two plants are too close..."

"Yimi Palace—"

"Ah, I see, why is there such a difference?"

During the whole process, Lan Xue kept covering her mouth and laughing. Yimi who heard Lan Xue's sneer could do nothing but stare fiercely in this direction.

"Phew...it's finally finished." Yimi wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead with her hands, but in the end she wiped the dirt from her hands onto her face.

"Yimi don't move." I walked to Yimi's side, stood on tiptoe and brought my face closer, then stuck out my tongue and licked off the dirt on Yimi's face.

"Ah!" Yimi suddenly jumped to the side covering the place touched by the tip of my tongue, her face flushed again and again, "Xiao Hei, what are you doing!"

"I just want to help Yimi clean up the dirt on your face..."

"You, you, how did you clean it up!"

"Use your tongue..." I feel that the tongue is a little more convenient. When I kissed Yimi last time, I felt that the tongue seemed to be more flexible. "After all, I can't use my hands..."

"Well, why does this conversation sound a little crooked?" Wu Shao wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand that wasn't soiled, and showed a little smirk at Yimi and me.

"It's your fault!" As a result, Yimi's face turned even redder.

"I'll come too, I'll come too!" Xiao Gu said and rushed towards Yimi.

"Little Gu, don't make trouble!"

"What are you guys doing..." Lan Xue kept her hips akimbo as usual, and sighed while looking at us.

After Xiaogu controlled the water flow to keep the soil moist, we started other arrangements.

"Then there are some small things... as long as they are planted in some relatively small containers and placed in a sunny place, and they can be moved at any time, it is also very convenient to shelter from wind and rain, which is the so-called potted plants. type of planting."

"Container? What does that refer to?" It seems that I have heard of this before, but it seems that I have never heard of it.

"It's just some pots, bowls and so on. Although I brought some here, it seems that the quantity is not enough..." Wu Shao scratched his head in confusion, "That's why we still need more soil."

"Let's split up and look for it. Since Xiao Hei can't carry the things, he will move the soil again. For the rest, we will look in this boat to see if there are any containers that can grow these things." After that, we started to split up , when I went back and forth to bring a lot of soil from the experimental area, Yimi and the others seemed to have found a lot of pots and bowls of different shapes and sizes, although they were all covered with dust and there were still a lot of soil. The hole, but Wu Shao said that the impact is not great.

"First of all, it's chili...but in fact, it doesn't need to be planted directly for the time being." Wu Shao chuckled, "We need to soak these seeds in water first, so that it will be easier to germinate when planted - you can't use sea water Ah little sister Gu!"

"Chili...I don't like chili very much..." I seemed to hear Yimi muttering.

After we soaked the chili seeds in the water, Wu Shao took out a handful of green and white thin and long strip plants with a little soil.

"Next is the green onion! We just need to cut off the root...that is, the white part, and then bury it in the same way as when growing strawberries, dig a small hole and bury it down."

"Scallions are really good for seasoning..."

The next step was to stuff the soil into the container, and stuff the green onions into the soil, although Lan Xue just crushed a container halfway because of her bravado.

"The planting of this is relatively simple, but...Your Highness Yimi, don't plant the root upside down and the other way around..."

After planting several green onions in each container, the next step is——

"This is garlic!" Wu Shao held a large lump of irregular white plants in his hand, "We just need to break the garlic lumps into individual garlic heads, and then follow the same steps as growing onions."

"I always feel that these plants are all similar?" Although the appearance is different, it seems that the planting method is not much different?

"It's wrong to think so, little black sister." Wu Shao raised a hand and pointed at me, "I deliberately chose vegetables that even you can grow, these are just 'can be grown in a simple way' It’s just vegetables, if you really want to pursue high-quality and high-yield, little black sister, do you think it’s easier to consider thinning seedlings, changing pots for planting, fixing stems, and grafting these things?”

"I was wrong..." I couldn't understand any of the words that came out of Wu Shao's mouth, so I realized that I had said the wrong thing again.

What I didn't expect was that the lump of garlic could really turn into little garlic after another, but——

"Your Highness Yimi, although the head of garlic looks like an irregular ellipse, please be sure to plant the head of garlic upward..."

"Say it earlier!" Yimi hurriedly buried garlic bulbs one after another into the container.

By the end, the room was piled up with large and small containers full of shallots and garlic.

"The rest is to put these in a place where the sun can shine. Even if it is going to be windy and rainy, it is very convenient to move these things."

"I know how to let go." Yimi smiled and clapped her hands.

Yimi's suggestion is to put all these on the deck, so that not only the sunlight will be sufficient, but also the recycling will be quick.

So we moved these things back and forth from the cabin to the deck, watching the sun overhead slowly change position, casting our shadows in different directions.

"I always feel... there are so many things today..." Sitting on the box in the lounge, Yimi sighed softly.

"I asked Your Highness Yimi before...you agreed, if we plant these things at the same time, we will be very busy every day. The most important thing is...I am not here all the time." Wu Shao on the wooden floor pulled his collar, "I will tell His Royal Highness Yimi what you do every day. These plants are relatively more survivable, but it is only relative. Don't forget, Your Highness Yimi." gone."

"I will never forget, isn't it easy to memorize these things?" Yimi also took the opportunity to straighten her dress, smooth out the wrinkles on her body, and sighed softly, "If these plants can be in harmony with The few trees by the lake are just the same...you don't need to worry about yourself and they can grow up in the wind and sun..."

After Yimi's words fell, Wu Shao didn't answer her immediately, but after thinking for a while, he slowly raised his upper body and knocked on the wooden floor with his hand: "Speaking of those trees...His Highness Yimi, those Was the seed of the tree taken from this ship?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It's all right... It's just that I seem to have heard about this ship at the camp..." Wu Shao continued with a blank expression, "It seems that the original purpose of this ship was to go to an uninhabited island and improve the Afterwards, the environment on the island was transformed into a transfer station, so the seeds you took from this ship, Your Highness Yimi, may all be experimental products that were once planted on that island...will have such a strong ability to survive It's not a coincidence either."

"Is that so..." Yimi asked softly, "So what kind of tree is that?"

"I don't know either..." Wu Shao replied helplessly, "I just want to remind His Royal Highness Yimi that if those trees have such a strong ability to survive, they must have other defects, such as not being edible by humans at all." The part of it is only used for expanding greening..."

"Those words... To be honest, it doesn't matter anymore..." Yimi looked at the blue sky outside through the ventilation hole left in the bulkhead, "Now I'm just a little curious... how far they can grow. "

————————————————————————————————————————

After that, we started the life of running back and forth from the stronghold to the experimental area.

Some plants need to ensure the water source, but some plants do not need to be watered until they grow true leaves, some plants cannot be fertilized, but some need sufficient fertilizer... Although Wu Shao has said what these are Things to keep in mind when growing plants, but I haven't remembered any of them.

The only thing I remember is, just run around with Yimi.

As long as Yimi remembers it, there will be no problem.

When it’s windy and rainy, push those boulders to the ship, block the open holes with wooden boards, and then bring in the plants on the deck, and restore them one by one in the reverse order when the weather is sunny. .The growth speed of these plants is much faster than I imagined. The buds are getting longer and longer, and the green color is becoming more and more obvious. They grow much faster than those proudly standing branches by the lake.

In such a life, I almost forgot that human beings are still on this land, although because of Yimi's deterrence, they hardly come near here.

until one day.

Xiaogu went to the deep sea to look for fish, and I followed Yimi's request to find vines and dead branches and come back to make a fire.

My hands can't pick up things directly like Yimi and Lan Xue did, but fortunately, even if these fire-making things are chopped up, it's okay. With the cooperation of my tail, I skillfully collected the vines on the ground and prepared to They pulled it together and took it home.

until--

"Are you collecting these things?"

"Yes—" Because the conversation was too natural, and I was no stranger to this voice, so I almost answered along the way.

Until I realized whose voice it was, I jumped in the opposite direction of the source of the sound in an instant, but fell because of the sudden movement.

Sitting on the ground, I hurriedly raised my head and looked at the shadow with its back to the sun.

The black hair is longer than the last time we met, it has grown enough to be draped over my shoulders at will, and one of the dark eyes looking down at me is covered by a white bandage, and at the same time, I can vaguely see the slightly exposed black burns under the bandage. mark.

Her body is no longer the neat black armor, but a red dress, but there is still a sword used as a weapon hanging on her waist, the white bandage is exposed from the sleeve, and the black long The socks completely covered her thighs under the skirt.

Rather, except for part of her face, all her bare skin was tied up with white bandages.

But even so, the calm face still looked down at me indifferently, and his eyes slowly swept over the single wing and spiked tail behind me, and finally fell back on my face:

"Princess Yimi...where is she now?"

The strong tone and sharp eyes that used to be on the pier disappeared, leaving only a faint expression, just like the sea breeze that used to swirl on the pier, passed through this vast ocean, and landed on this beach, but No refuge.
