Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Plants have many natural enemies, even if they have legs.

After Xia Lunong returned to human form, she watered the pepper tree with infinite sympathy.

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum lightly touched his arm with a branch, and the branch wrapped around him softly.

Seeing its cute appearance, Xia Lunong gave him a little power, then turned to ask Yan Xinian, "Can't the sheep that gnawed on its leaves catch it?"

"Heideng is blind, the forest is too dangerous, so I didn't think about catching him." Yan Xiannian said, "I guess we can catch it now."

Xia Lunong made a proposal with sparkling eyes, "Then let's catch that sheep to avenge the prickly ash tree?"

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum "rubbed" next to it, raised its crown, and shook its branches. The whole tree agreed.

Yan Xiannian looked at him, then at the pepper tree next to him with the same expression as his, nodded, "You can try."

Xia Lunong immediately said: "Then I'll go find Kong Zhi. Kong Zhi flies high and can see far, so it's easier to catch sheep. Was it a sheep or a group of sheep that gnawed on the pepper tree leaves last night?"

Yan Xi Nian said: "One, but that sheep is mixed in the flock, so it's not easy to find. You will call Kong Zhi later, he knows which one it is."

Xia Lunong nodded, turned around to look for Kong Zhi, and just took two steps when a muffled "dong" sounded from behind.

He turned his head and saw that the pepper tree had pulled itself up again, shaking its leaves and following behind him.

Seeing him turn around, the pepper tree shakes its crown, which seems to hold its head up high.

Xia Lunong smiled, and took it to the side of the carriage.

Kong Zhi was getting out of the car, his hair was slightly messed up, and his face was expressionless.

Seeing Xia Lunong, Kong Zhi raised his eyelids, "I see, I'll go after brushing my teeth."

"okay."

After Kong Zhi finished brushing his teeth, he came back and stood by the side of the truck, taking off his shirt.

Xia Lunong said, "I'll go too!"

The pepper tree behind jumped up without making a sound, but it seemed to have the same purpose.

Kong Zhi paused, and said: "Find the rope, and sit on my back later."

Xia Lunong hurried back to the bucket to get the rope.

He often sits on Kong Zhi's back and is very familiar with tying the rope. With Kong Zhi's cooperation, he can tie it up in 2 minutes.

Xia Lunong looked into Kong Zhi's yellow eyes and asked, "I use human form?"

The golden eagle glanced at him, nodded, and crouched down.

Xia Lunong climbed onto his back with both hands and feet. Just halfway through the climb, there was a pulling force from behind.

He turned his head to look, but it was the pepper tree sticking out his clothes.

Xia Lu was confused, "Why, you want to go too?"

The pepper tree shook its branches slightly, and the crown of the tree nodded.

Xia Lunong was even more confused, "But Kong Zhi can't afford the two of us."

The pepper tree tugged at his clothes and refused to move.

Xia Huoqu heard the movement and stepped down from the cab, his eyelids were wrinkled due to exhaustion, "What's wrong?"

"Pepper tree wants to go with us." Xia Lunong pointed at the pepper tree that was pulling his clothes, feeling a little headache.

He has now discovered that the prickly ash tree has special bark, and the more ripe it gets, the more bark it becomes.

Kong Zhi followed Xia Lunong and looked back at the pepper tree, writing on the ground with his paws: Take it, hold it, retract the thorn

Xia Lunong looked at the pepper tree, "Kong Zhi promised to take you, and retract the thorns."

The pepper tree reacted on the spot for a while, then retracted the thorns, and then let go of Xia Lunong.

Xia Lunong looked at the pepper tree. The pepper tree's IQ was really high, which was disturbingly strong.

The pepper tree didn't feel that the atmosphere was wrong, it jumped back, and the crown of the tree lifted up, as if it was looking up at Xia Lunong.

Xia Lunong climbed onto Kong Zhi's back to finish, fixed herself with a rope, and shouted: "It's done!"

Kong Zhi took a few steps to run up, flapped his wings and flew up, circled in mid-air, and then swooped down again, directly grabbing the pepper tree horizontally.

The branches of the pepper tree trembled, and the leaves were blown by the wind, like the silent scream of the pepper tree.

Kong Zhi ignored it, grabbed it and flew up the mountain.

Xia Lunong sat on Kong Zhi's back, squinting her eyes and trying to find the goat.

Kong Zhi circled in circles on the mountain, and soon flew in a certain direction.

He flew for a long time before Xia Lunong belatedly saw a few beige patches in the forest, which were the figures of goats.

Kong Zhi flew extremely fast, and flew over the goat in just a few breaths.

The goats found the danger in the sky, let go of their feet and fled in all directions.

Kong Zhi spotted one of them and followed closely behind.

Xia Lunong hugged Kong Zhi's neck and looked down, and soon found the abnormality of the goat - there was an extra horn on the top of the goat's head.

It is indeed very easy to recognize.

The prickly ash tree held by Kong Zhi seemed to have seen it too, its branches were shaking excitedly.

Xia Lunong immediately understood that this was the goat gnawing on the leaves of the pepper tree.

"Wait—" Xia Lunong thought of another question, "Kong Zhi, you are holding the pepper tree, how are you going to catch the sheep?!"

Kong Zhi answered Xia Lunong's question with actions.

He swooped down, and when he was more than one meter above the ground, he spread his claws and threw the pepper tree directly.

The Zanthoxylum bungeanum gathered its crown, rolled on the ground, and then immediately stretched out its branches to fix it, and its roots, like water, penetrated into the soil and pulled it up.

In the blink of an eye, the pepper tree on the ground stood up, struggled up again, jumped up and down, and chased after the fleeing goat.

Kong Zhi flapped his wings and chased the goat in mid-air.

The goat ran very fast, but was chased by Kong Zhi and fled in panic. It almost couldn't stop several times and hit a tree.

Zanthoxylum seems to understand, "Dongdong" hopped and tried to overtake the goat from the bend.

It jumped and stretched out its root system, trying to catch the goat.

The goat was disturbed by it, and became more and more panicked, dazed and bumping around.

Seeing the right opportunity, Kong Zhi swooped down, stretched out his claws, grabbed the hair on the goat's back, grabbed the goat, and flew directly into the sky with the goat.

The goat struggled desperately, bleating under Kong Zhi's claws.

Kong Zhi was staggered by it, flying unsteadily.

Xia Lunong sat on Kong Zhi's back, tightly hugging Kong Zhi's neck, her heart was pounding in her chest, feeling like it was about to jump out of her throat.

This goat is so tough.

I knew that he should use the animal form, the animal form is not so heavy, and the burden on Kong Zhi is not so great.

It's too late now, Xia Lunong can only hold Kong Zhi's neck steady and take care of herself, lest Kong Zhi get distracted from dealing with him.

Compared to Xia Lunong's nervousness, Kong Zhi seems much calmer.

He flew staggeringly, but kept flying upwards, at a very even speed, and the rhythm was not interrupted by the goat at all.

When he flew to a height of more than 20 meters, Kong Zhi aimed at a relatively empty place, and suddenly let go of his claws.

The goat under his claws fell freely, and fell to the ground with a "bang", its four legs twitched, and it couldn't move.

Xia Lunong widened her eyes.

The small pepper tree that was rushed to the side of the goat raised its canopy, and the whole tree stood there in a daze, looking a little silly.

Kong Zhi fell to the ground.

Xia Lunong quickly untied the rope and climbed down from his back, "I will change back to the animal shape later, right?"

Kong Zhi nodded, "Jie!"

Xia Lunong climbed down from Kong Zhi's back, and discussed with the pepper tree, "Will you be tied to Kong Zhi's back later?"

The pepper tree shook its crown, obediently put away all the thorns, and tightly gathered the crown into a ball.

Xia Lunong didn't waste time, directly tied the pepper tree to Kong Zhi's back horizontally, and then firmly tied the goat that had fallen so badly to Kong Zhi's back, and specifically told the pepper tree, "You will see later Be careful, don't let the sheep fall."

The crown of the pepper tree shook slightly, and the dense roots suddenly stretched out, forming a large net in the blink of an eye, trapping the goat firmly inside.

Xia Lunong touched its crown lightly, "Good job!"

Xia Lunong took off her clothes and stuffed them on Kong Zhi's back, and turned back into a cat shape, being held in Kong Zhi's mouth.

Kong Zhi took a few steps to run up and flapped his wings to fly back to the temporary camp.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian had already cooked the rice, packed up the eels they caught last night, and waited for Xia Lunong to come back to cook.

"Really caught this sheep." Seeing them coming back, Yan Xiannian stood up to respond, "I'll deal with the sheep first."

Xia Lunong changed back into a human form, and quickly put on his underwear, "Brother Xi Nian, you will release the sheep's blood later, we will eat rice field eel stewed with sheep's blood in the morning. Ignore the rest, and deal with it when we return to the base. "

"That's fine." Yan Xi Nian was carrying the sheep, "Just ask them to get some sheepskins, and see if they can make some more sheepskins to make some sheepskin coats."

Xia Lunong hasn't encountered winter since she woke up, so she was taken aback when she heard this, "Is winter very cold now?"

"It's 'very' cold, ten to twenty degrees Celsius below zero?" Yan Xinian squinted his eyes, "It was probably this temperature when it was the coldest last year. I don't know how it will be this year."

Xia Lunong pondered for a while, "The down jacket should be about the same?"

"Depending on the situation, wearing a down jacket is not as convenient as wearing a leather jacket when you go out for activities." Yan Xinian said, "Down jackets are not breathable, and they tend to sweat easily. gone."

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu had prepared the dishes, Xia Lunong had nothing to do, so she squatted aside to help them, and chatted by the way.

Seeing Kong Zhi approaching, Yan Xiannian said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's almost autumn, will birds and beastmen like you, Kong Zhi, shed their wool when they moult?"

Xia Lunong turned her head and looked at him curiously.

Kong Zhi paused, "Yes."

Yan Xiannian laughed loudly, "It's hard to imagine how you change your fleece. Can your fluff be collected to make a down jacket?"

Kong Zhi said lightly: "If the hair you shed can be used to weave sweaters, mine can be used to make down jackets."

"I can't, my hair is too hard." Yan Xi Nian said, "Your brother Huo Qu can do it, but his hair is soft. Small thick ones are also fine, even if the body is too small, even if you are bald, you may not be able to knit a collar hahaha."

Xia Huoqu looked up at Yan Xiannian, "As long as you're willing to shave it off, we won't dislike your hair if it's a little bit stiff."

"That won't work, I despise myself." Yan Xiannian looked up, saw the pepper tree also approaching, seemed to concentrate on listening to them, and said with a smile, "Little pepper has no hair to pluck, but I can donate some branches to make sweater needles for us."

Zanthoxylum bungeanum didn't understand what a sweater needle was at all, and nodded in a serious manner, making everyone laugh.

Seeing the little guy's appearance, Xia Lunong laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out, and reached out to touch it.

Yan Xiannian killed a good goat, and the goat's blood flowed out into a large basin filled with salt water.

Xia Lunong stirred it, and when it solidified slightly, she carried it to the pot to cook.

The pepper tree followed him step by step. I don't know when it started, it was not afraid of fire at all.

Xia Lunong poured cold water into the pot, gently scratched the coagulated sheep blood with a knife a few times, and began to cook the sheep blood tofu.

To cook blood tofu, you need to cook it on low heat and keep the water half boiled, so that you can cook fresh and tender blood tofu.

Xia Lunong took advantage of the bloody tofu being boiled in the pot, let Kong Zhi watch the fire, and went to the cart by herself to break a few prickly ash branches with fruits.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, the little pepper tree stood in front of him at some point, the crown of the tree lowered slightly, facing the pepper branch in his hand, looking a little aggrieved.

Xia Lunong looked at the crown of the tree and at the pepper branch in her hand, wondering if she had read it wrong.

A tree, no matter how humane it is, cannot reveal its grievances.

However, he somehow felt that the pepper tree was wronged.

One person and one tree looked at each other for a moment, and the little pepper tree suddenly bent down its side branch, and bent it in front of Xia Lunong. The end of the branch snapped and broke, leaving only a little bark still attached to the paper.

Xia Lunong pointed to herself uncertainly, and asked, "For me?"

The tree crown actually nodded, agreeing.

Xia Lunong smiled, "Thank you."

Standing in front of him, the little pepper tree didn't know if it sensed his smile, or knew that he was in a good mood. Its branches stretched forward, swept away the pepper branch that Xia Lunong was holding, and threw it on the ground.

This is—competition for favor?

The smile on Xia Lunong's face deepened, and she reached out and gently touched the trunk of the pepper tree.

That morning, Xia Lunong made a special stew of eel blood tofu, which added small peppercorns specially supplied by the pepper tree.

The whole dish was numbing, spicy, fragrant and fresh, and the tips of their noses were sweating after eating it.

After breakfast, they packed up their things and left the temporary camp, Yan Xiannian drove to the depths of the valley.

When they entered the peach forest, there were already buzzing bees flying around.

These bees were smaller than the group of bees that built their nests on the big banyan tree, but each one was still the size of a longan, and the needles on the tail even had a bit of metallic luster, which looked very scary.

For safety, the four of them were squeezed into the cab, and the windows on both sides were tightly closed to prevent them from being surrounded by bee swarms.

Xia Lu's thick face was pressed against the glass, watching bees fly by one after another through the glass, and suddenly said: "I have a bold idea."
