Chapter 314 The River Between Two Orchards
It's mid-October.
The aftermath of the Reggie Rock incident has finally been completed.
All the elves injured in the incident were rescued and restored to health, and even the injured angry parrots sent later also recovered.
This is due to the efforts of the doctors and nurses at the Elf Medical College, as well as the assistance of Green Grass Field and Elf Milk.
This morning.
Principal Lan, who came to pick up Zucao, extended an invitation to Chen Xizhou: "The scenery in the orchard is very beautiful recently. Are you interested in going to enjoy it, district chief?"
Chen Xizhou knew that Principal Lan was not an aimless person, and he obviously had something to discuss with him, so he accepted the other party's invitation.
Autumn is approaching on Langqi Island and with temperatures gradually dropping, residents can look forward to enjoying cooler weather at this time.
This autumn is as colorful as being rendered by magic.
Whether it is the fruit plantation of the production team or the fruit research garden of the Elf Plant Research Team, all kinds of fruits are dotted on the branches like gems, and the ripe fruits exude an alluring aroma.
The cherry fruits on the cherry tree are bright red, like the cheeks of a shy little girl, with a hint of maturity in her shyness. Blue orange fruits are hung all over the treetops, exuding a warm glow.
In the orchard, individual walking grasses sway in the breeze, as if saying hello to the passing fruit farmers.
They have been released on the grassy field, absorbing nutrients in the soil, stretching their green leaves, waiting to grow to the extreme and make a leap in life.
The whole family of flying mantises live in two tree orchards.
In addition to the environmental factors that make the tree orchard suitable for the habitat of the group, Flying Mantis is also employed by the tree fruit production team and the elf plant research team, responsible for ensuring the safety and picking work of the two orchards.
When the flying mantis stops and hides in the woods, it will not be seen due to its protective color. It is a very suitable guardian for tree orchards.
As for the picking work, the sharp sickle is repeatedly waved, which not only satisfies the daily training of the flying mantis, but also saves the fruit farmers a lot of time and energy.
Flying mantises are entrenched in the treetops. Even in their free time, they will flap their two pairs of strong wings, shuttle through the air, and nimbly catch flying insects.
For them, these insects are extremely delicious food.
Whenever the sun sets in the evening, the flying mantises, led by their leader, spread their wings and fly gracefully into the sky, becoming a unique scenery in the orchards in autumn.
Principal Lan took Chen Xizhou to visit two tree orchards.
Chen Xizhou unexpectedly discovered that the closer the fruit trees were to the Fruit Research Park, the higher the fruiting rate and the plumper fruits they produced.
He asked Principal Lan this question.
After expressing surprise at Chen Xizhou's observation ability, Principal Lan gave the answer:
"There are two factors involved in this. One factor is the long-term use of [green grass field], which makes the residual grass energy of this land more and more intense. The richer the land, the better the fruit growth. The other factor is the walking grass family. "Although they are living organisms, they still have some life characteristics of plants, such as falling leaves, which increases the fertility of the soil."
The knowledge of botany is vast, and fairy plants are an incredible and unfathomable knowledge.
These knowledges are like poppies, attracting all the researchers of the Elf Plant Research Team, making them unable to stop.
Principal Lan took Chen Xizhou forward.
Among the treetops, sunlight shines through the light canopy and onto the green grass.
One is pure gray and the other is dark green. The huge bodies of the two rock snakes look particularly abrupt in the orchard.
Their skin is as hard as rock, and under their huge heads, a pair of bright eyes seems to be able to see into every corner.
The long tail made of rocks swings gently with the movement and slaps the ground from time to time, seeming to remind the surrounding fruit farmers and elves that it is busy with an important task.
"Mountain bones, quarrying rocks? Why are you here?" Chen Xizhou shouted in surprise.
The big rock snakes were very happy to hear the familiar voice and rushed towards Chen Xizhou who was looking at them. Apart from their excitement, their strong inertia made it difficult for them to contain their fulfillment.
Fortunately, King Dadai took action in time.
He used his strong mental power to use the [Stabilization Technique] to freeze the two big rock snakes on the road.
【Standing method! 】
[Immobilization method: Make the target fall into the immobilization method state. During this period, the target cannot use the last skill used before falling into the immobilization method state. 】
In addition to restricting the opponent's skills, the immobilization method cast by the powerful elf can also restrict the target's movements.
This accident was passed without any danger.
When Chen Xizhou took the initiative to get close to the two big rock snakes, Principal Lan, who was still frightened, gave Chen Xizhou an answer.
As fruit research gardens and fruit plantations continue to expand, water sources have become a headache for everyone.
Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to artificially dig a river to introduce the water from Langqi Lake into the two tree orchards, providing sufficient water sources for the fruit trees, and also providing a convenient drinking road for the elves.
"went well?"
While stroking the rough rock skin of the mountain bone, Chen Xizhou said to Principal Lan: "If the digging speed is not fast enough, I can ask the huge rock snake in the fossil forest to help."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xizhou's words aroused the dissatisfaction of Shangu and Quishi.
Although the two big rock snakes didn't stay with Chen Xizhou all the time, they treated him as their parents. Chen Xizhou's words made them jealous.
Principal Lan patted Cai Shi's dark green rock skin and replied, "It's very efficient. Shan Gu and Cai Shi are great children."
Among all creatures, the digging speed of the big rock snake is definitely among the best.
Little elves like big rock snakes usually live in the ground. They will twist their long and strong bodies to dig in the ground. Because there are magnets in their brains, they will not get the wrong direction even if they dig holes in the ground.
The speed of digging underground can even reach 80 kilometers per hour.
Digging a river channel of about three meters is too easy for the two big rock snakes.
If this river channel was not designed by professionals with the goal of fully covering two orchards, it would have been completed long ago according to the original speed of Shan Gu and Cai Shi.
"Speaking of which, they have a very good appetite and eat a lot of fruit every day." Principal Lan said with some pampering.
Unlike Guangming Village, which needs to make money, the Elf Plant Research Team has its own research funds, so the fruits in the research garden are either eaten by themselves or used for research. Now it’s okay to give them to the Big Rock Snake as food.
“Shan Gu, Cai Shi, this section has been planned!” A rough voice came from not far away.
After the two big rock snakes greeted Chen Xizhou, they quickly twisted in the direction of the voice. They were going to work seriously.
Seeing this, Chen Xizhou and Principal Lan followed together.
Construction site.
The two big rock snakes were bending down their huge bodies at this time.
Shan Gu used the long rock horns on his head to plunge into the mud. The mud was overturned by its huge power. Every time it twisted, it would bring up a pile of mud, as if drawing beautiful arcs in the air.
Cai Shi was responsible for compacting the loose soil to ensure that it would not be washed away by water in the future.
Although its movements were clumsy, its efficiency was surprisingly high. It followed Shan Gu closely to complete its work.
After half an hour of hard work by the two big rock snakes, this flat mud land finally turned into two high mud piles, and in the middle of the mud pile was a waterless ditch that was three meters wide, two meters deep, and about one kilometer long.
This is the backup river channel.
"Prepare to break the ground!" The rough voice sounded again.
Shan Gu and Cai Shi quickly left the backup river channel after hearing the order, because the next step was to connect the river channel to release water. As rock-type elves, they did not like water.
As the workers shoveled the mud with a few shovels, the river water flowed slowly along the river channel.
The clear water waves reflected the blue sky, and together with the warm sunshine, brought endless vitality to the orchard.
The person in charge presented Shan Gu and Cai Shi with freshly picked fruits. The two big guys showed a satisfied look, and then plunged into the pile of fruit to enjoy the delicious food.
While eating, they did not forget to share a few with Chen Xizhou.
As the water continued to flow into this alternate river channel, the next section of the river channel was planned, and the mountain workers and stone miners, who had recovered their strength, continued to work... (End of this chapter)
