Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong has often encountered moving plants in her life, but it was the first time she met a talking plant, and she was stunned for a while.

The cactus and the others stood a few meters away and did not come over. They shook the petals and said, "What's the matter? Honeysuckle let you come here, right?"

The cactus seemed to be afraid of their denial, so it raised its voice, "Honeysuckle has already described you to me, that's what you are. Don't tell me you are not!"

Xia Lunong's tone was a little dreamy, "Yes...we just didn't expect..."

The petals of the cactus trembled, making a "hahaha" laugh.

The laughter was rough, as if a middle-aged man was laughing out loud in front of them.

It feels very magical.

Xia Lunong quietly reached out and rubbed her arms, trying to get rid of the goosebumps all over her arms.

Cactus laughed and said proudly: "I didn't expect that I could talk, did you?"

"Yes." Xia Lunong said dryly, "You are superior."

Cactus: "I'm sorry, hahahahaha, I was just idle, thinking about your voice. Hey, don't stand there, come and sit!"

After the cactus said a few more words, Xia Lunong could clearly feel that its mandarin had a southern accent, its flat tongue was indistinguishable, and it was a bit soft.

Learn the local accent.

I just don't know how this cactus learned it, and who did it learn from.

While they were meditating, the long stems of the cactus poked out and greeted them: "You can move the stool yourself, I am too weak to move it."

"Okay." Xia Lunong came back to her senses, and introduced herself: "Honeysuckle should have told you, my name is Xia Lunong, and my partner Kong Zhi is next to me."

"I've said it before. I also said that you are a very nice person and that your place is very lively. If I go there, I will definitely like it."

Xia Lunong didn't expect Honeysuckle to say so many good things for them, rubbed the seam of her trousers, and said: "Honeysuckle is also very good, it helped us a lot."

The cactus agreed deeply, and several flowers on the top swayed at the same time, "Yes, yes, honeysuckle is famous, and everyone is convinced of it."

The two sides chatted about some common topics, and the atmosphere eased up. Xia Lunong said: "The purpose of our visit this time is to invite you to our base. We can help with watering and fertilizing, and you will provide us with flowers and fruits and other products. Mutual benefit and win-win."

The cactus shakes its petals, "I heard about it. But my flowers and fruits don't seem to be of much use to you, is that okay?"

"Yes, is it useful? We will judge for ourselves, as long as you are willing to provide it to us."

"That's no problem. Anyway, my flowers will wither every day, and if you keep them, you can keep them. If you want them, just take them and give me something in return."

The cactus is more refreshing than they imagined.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi looked at each other with surprise in each other's eyes.

Xia Lunong smiled, "So, happy cooperation?"

The cactus shook its flowers, "How about——let's talk about my treatment first?"

The smile on Xia Lunong's face got bigger.

He thought that this guy had no desires, but it seemed that this guy was much thicker and thinner than he imagined.

It seems that the plants have also become cunning.

Xia Lunong nodded, "No problem. Tell me your request first."

The cactus said: "I haven't cooperated with other humans before. I don't know what to ask for. You should talk about it first. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it again. If it can, I will go with you."

Xia Lunong said: "When we cooperate with plants, we generally adopt the principle of equivalent exchange. The treatment we can give depends on what the plants can provide us."

Xia Lunong gave it an example, "For example, we have a rose plant in our family, and the petals it gives us contain a lot of energy, and we infuse it with abilities every day. For example, we also have a pepper plant in our family, which can guard our house, and we also Often input abilities to it, and help it water and fertilize."

Cactus pondered: "If it counts these two things, I can do it too."

Xia Lu smiled thickly, "Yes, so we only have a basis for cooperation."

Cactus immediately said: "Then if I can provide you with flowers like Rose, my treatment will be the same as Rose."

Xia Lunong: "There are more flowers in the rose season..."

The cactus interrupted him unconvinced, "I also have a lot of flowers."

Xia Lunong paused, "Then let's try?"

"Try it." The cactus shook the flower and said, "If it doesn't work, can you send me back?"

Xia Lunong laughed, "Send it. As long as you say you are not satisfied and want to come back, we can send you back at any time."

Cactus said: "That's no problem, I'll go with you!"

The conversation between Xia Lunong and the cactus was unexpectedly smooth, and within half an hour, the two sides reached a cooperation.

Xia Lunong looked at the sky outside and said, "It's too late today, we need to rest here, and we'll go back to the base tomorrow."

The cactus promises, "You can rest assured, didn't you say that you have a Zanthoxylum bungeanum plant that will guard your house? I can help you watch today."

Xia Lunong didn't really trust this cactus she just met, but she still said kindly: "Then I will trouble you."

"You're welcome, we're all friends."

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi didn't need to find another place, they simply cleaned up the abandoned yard, took stones and built a simple stove in the middle of the yard, and they were done.

It gets a little cold after nightfall.

They lit a bonfire, and the flames flickered, casting a layer of warm light on the abandoned courtyard.

Xia Lunong sniffed, sat by the fire and took out the fish he caught in the afternoon.

The fish is very fresh and very elastic, and you can smell the fresh and sweet fish smell when you put it in front of your eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no way to eat yusheng in this era, Xia Lunong would have wanted to try a plate of yusheng.

Kong Zhi took out a cutting board beside him, and said to Xia Lunong, "Give me the fish."

"Okay. Shall we have boiled fish fillets?"

"Don't you like to eat pickled cabbage fish? There is a small jar of pickled cabbage in the bamboo tube in the space. I will make pickled cabbage fish for you tonight."

Xia Lunong gave her a thumbs up, "Then I'll cut the pepper."

They only brought out a pot, which was used for both cooking and cooking. Since they made pickled fish, there was no way to cook.

Xia Lunong simply took out a large handful of rice noodles and soaked them. After the fish fillets were almost eaten, put the rice down to cook, followed by the pickled fish soup, and a pot of hot pickled fish rice noodles would also be good.

The two often live in the wild, and they cooperate very tacitly. They don't need to talk, just pass them a look, and the other party knows what to do.

For the first time since the cactus learned to speak, it really talked to humans.

Unexpectedly, these two people were so close that they could not tolerate a third party at all.

Cactus wanted to intervene several times, but it didn't feel right, so she had to give up again.

It was very depressed, shrank in the corner, and didn't bother to care about the two humans.

Xia Lunong didn't notice the situation on the side of the cactus.

Plants do not need to eat.

The two cooked the meal, washed the dishes and came out, and tasted it directly.

This pot of sauerkraut fish is very delicious. As soon as the fish is in the mouth, Xia Lunong can feel the sour, fragrant, fresh, spicy, sweet, thick and many other tastes of the soup.

The processed fish is very tender, and when you sip it on the tip of your tongue, the whole piece of fish will melt.

There is no scum in the melted fish, only plump and tender.

Xia Lunong was even a little reluctant to swallow, and tasted it for a while before swallowing the fish in his mouth.

As soon as the fish was swallowed, his eyes lit up, and he picked up another piece of slightly curly snow-white fish, stared at the fish and said, "This fish is fresher than the river fish we usually eat!"

"It contains a lot of energy, so the taste is naturally better." Kong Zhi took a spoon and scooped up a bowl of fish meat for him, "Hurry up and eat it, or you will grow old if you don't eat it."

"Hurry up and eat too. I'll try sauerkraut."

Their sauerkraut uses mustard heart, which has been marinated for almost a year, and it is very tasty.

Xia Lunong sandwiched a piece of sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was golden and crisp, sour and delicious. When stimulated by the fish and spicy taste, it was invincible.

It has a completely different texture than fish, but it is just as perfect.

After tasting it carefully, Xia Lunong narrowed her eyes and said, "This sauerkraut is also perfectly pickled, as expected of us pickling it by ourselves."

Empty smile.

The two had a perfect meal of fish with pickled cabbage. Xia Lunong's mouth was still curled up before going to bed.

He grabbed the diary and carefully wrote down what happened today, especially emphasizing how perfect the fish and sauerkraut were tonight, and reminded himself to catch more fish and pickle more sauerkraut when he returned.

Kong Zhi poked his head aside to read his diary, and said, "If you like it, next time we will bring fishing nets to catch."

"Okay." Xia Lunong thought for a while, "Let's see if there is a chance to sail over here, or it will be too dangerous."

Kong Zhi said: "According to our current production capacity, it may be next year to produce ships."

Xia Lunong waved his hand, "It's okay, we'll just wait, this year we'll catch two more fish to satisfy our hunger."

The two took turns keeping vigil.

There is a night owl cactus next to them to chat with them, and they don't feel sleepy.

After a safe night, Kong Zhi gets up early and goes fishing with Xia Lunong.

There are folding fishing rods in the bamboo tubes in their space, and big fish cannot be caught. It should be no problem to catch medium-sized fish weighing dozens of kilograms.

The two also wanted to dig earthworms to make bait. Before doing it, Xia Lunong had an idea and simply divided the baits into two types, one was earthworms, and the other was the fish they got yesterday.

Fish bait is much more effective than earthworm bait, and no human beings have ever caught fish here. When the bait is cast down, and after feeling the energy in the fish meat, dense fish swim over, just like the goldfish raised in the park before the catastrophe. Come and grab some food.

They don't even use a fishing rod to catch, just take a water ladle to scoop it up.

Xia Lunong scooped the bucket several times, and more than ten fish came out.

The dark back of the fish was moving in the puddle, Xia Lunong looked down and said regretfully, "It would be nice if we brought fishing nets here."

"Come next time." Kong Zhi caught the mutated fish in the puddle and threw it back into the sea, "Next time we will bring a fishing net by boat."

The two spent the morning catching fish and tidying up the camp before returning with the cactus.

Kong Zhi changed back to the animal shape, Xia Lunong tied the cactus with a pot to Kong Jindiao's body with a rope, sat behind and supported them, and the Kong Jindiao flew back with them.

The Kong Jindiao progressed very quickly.

They arrived at the base around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The sentinel saw them, waved at them, let them in and at the same time shouted to the base, "Xiao Nong and Kong Zhi are back—"

Xia Lunong has been in and out of the base with Kong Zhi in the past year, and has never received this kind of treatment.

He was stunned when he heard someone shouting, and asked Kong Zhi under him, "What happened?"

The Golden Eagle didn't know, and couldn't answer him, so he flapped his wings and swooped down at a faster speed.

The cactus was on the back of the golden eagle, the stalks were almost blown off, and it was so frightened that it yelled, "Slow-slow down!"

Xia Lunong stretched out her clothes to block it from the wind, and comforted it, "Hold on, we'll be there soon."

"This - I can't hold on to it - my flowers will be torn by the wind -"

Before the trembling petals of the cactus stopped, Kong Zhi had already glided to the gate of the courtyard, stopped gently, and said to the cactus: "Here we are."

"Huh, it's really here." The cactus petals trembled wildly, "It scared me to death."

Xia Lunong was about to comfort it, when someone ran down from the mountain and yelled at him from a distance of more than ten meters, "Little brother Xia, you are back! Come with me to see the wheat seedlings in the field. Much faster than the wheat seedlings in the tinder base!"

Xia Lunong: "Huh?"
