Fat Cat smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, it's normal if you haven't seen it before. This strange tree is called a bottle tree. Does it look like a big bottle? Let me tell you, the center of this tree is empty.
It can store water. As long as it rains, he can absorb water into his stomach and store it. When there is a drought and there is no water, he can live on the water in his stomach. The young master is using mutated seeds now. These trees absorb water.
After it is full of water, turn it into a mutated seed and store it. When you reach a place without water, you can turn the seed into a tree. There will be water in the tree and people will have water to drink."
"Ah, is there such a good thing? Then if we plant more trees here in the desert, will these trees be able to store a lot of water when it rains? Then no matter where we go from now on, we won't have to worry about water.
?”
"No, what have you been doing in the tent these past three days, young master? You are getting the seeds of the bottle tree. Now the young master must have a lot of bottle tree seeds in his hands. What the young master means is to plant some in the village first.
, and then plant it in the desert. When the rain comes, the bottle tree can absorb more water."
"Great, this is great. I didn't expect the leader of the village to have such a skill. That's great."
"Mr. Chen, don't be so excited. What is this? Do you know that the last time we went to the grassland to rob, the army on the grassland was attacking Huangfeng City in the Blade Soul Kingdom. The food in Huangfeng City was burned.
Wan Dajun ran out of food, so the young master single-handedly broke through the Wolf Soul Kingdom's army, rushed into Huangfeng City, and then released a large number of baobab trees. Everyone in the city ate them, and they all fought bravely. In the end
We repelled the attack of the Wolf Soul Kingdom, and now that the Wolf Soul Kingdom has become so chaotic, at least half of the credit is due to the young master."
"Seriously? How can bread be made on a baobab tree?"
"Hahaha, almost the same. The fruit from the baobab tree can be eaten raw or roasted. If eaten raw, it is like dried fruit, but if it is roasted, it tastes very good. There is a
It feels like toasted bread and it’s delicious.”
"Oh, this is great. If we all grow that kind of fruit here, wouldn't we have to worry about food in the future?"
"Old man, if it is really possible, do you think the young master will not plant here? If the young master does not plant, then there must be a reason for not planting. Come on, the young master is leaving the village. I have to follow, I said, old man, I am asking
Again, is it really going to rain today? The young master has been preparing for today for several days. But if it doesn’t rain, it will be troublesome."
"Don't worry, Fat Cat. How can I joke about something like this, old man? Don't you know? Every year when it rains, it's like a festival for people in the desert. Don't worry.
, it’s guaranteed to rain today, but it should rain in the afternoon or evening.”
"Just get off, no matter when it is, okay, old man, I'm leaving." Having said that, Fat Cat walked forward quickly and soon arrived at Zhao Hai's side. Zhou Qianqian followed Zhao Hai all the time.
The man left the village on horseback.
But the news about the bottle tree has already spread here in the village. For people in the desert, water is definitely the most precious thing. Now they heard that this kind of tree can actually store water, and they are all very happy.
I was so happy that I surrounded the bottle tree, as if I had seen a rare treasure.
Fat Cat also told Zhao Hai what Mr. Chen just said. Zhao Hai looked at the sky, calculated the time, nodded and said: "Okay, not bad, let's go, let's go all the way to Shahu Village, all the way
Plant as many as we can along the way, and after the rain stops, we will take back the bottle trees along the way." Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian naturally would not object, and the three of them ran all the way towards Shahu Village.
In fact, Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian couldn't help much. They just accompanied Zhao Hai and left all the tree planting to Zhao Hai. So the three of them ran forward, and trees suddenly popped up behind them.
The bottle tree looks very spectacular.
Of course, Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian didn’t do anything. They would place big flags around the bottle trees. There was a tiger on the big flag. This was the flag of Shahu Village, representing these trees.
It belongs to Shahu Village, so don't move around. If anyone moves around, it is equivalent to robbing Shahu Village. If the people in Shahu Village know, they will not be polite.
The three of them were walking forward, and unknowingly it turned dark, and at the same time a cool breeze started blowing. As soon as Zhao Hai looked up, he found that the sky was filled with dark clouds at some point, and the dark clouds were so heavy.
It's very low, as if you can reach out and touch it.
At the same time, the wind in the desert slowly picked up, and then huge raindrops fell from the sky. Fortunately, Zhao Hai and the others were prepared. The three of them all wore rainproof clothes, which were actually said to be rainproof.
The clothes are nothing more than specially treated cow-head clothes.
Although it was raining in the sky, Zhao Hai and the others never stopped and kept moving forward, but their speed slowed down a lot.
In such weather, going all the way without stopping is a huge test for Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian's physical strength. Zhao Hai originally didn't want the two of them to follow, but he didn't expect that they said
He didn't agree with anything, so he finally followed. Zhao Hai also prepared thick clothes, raincoats, and dried meat for the two of them.
Zhao Hai was busy running around the bottle tree along the way. The two of them followed Zhao Hai all the time. When they were hungry, they ate quickly, and when they drank, they took a water bag and drank two ounces of milk wine, in order to keep their bodies only
Hold heat.
The rain had been falling for who knows how long. When it stopped, Zhao Hai discovered that they were almost arriving at Shahu Village. Zhao Hai turned to take a look at Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian. Their situation was not good now.
Well, their faces were pale, but they had dark circles under their eyes, and both of them tied themselves to the horses with ropes to prevent them from falling off the horses.
Seeing the situation of the two of them, Zhao Hai also knew that it was not suitable for the two of them to go back immediately. He took them directly to Shahu Village. On the way, if Zhao Hai hadn't gone there
If the natural energy was transported into the bodies of the two horses, they would probably be exhausted. Fortunately, they are holding on now.
When the three of them arrived at Shahu Village, they shocked the people in Shahu Village, because it was very clear that judging from the time it took for the three of them to arrive at Shahu Village, the three of them came in spite of the rain.
, this surprised the people of Shahu Village. They didn't know that the three of them had something urgent, so they actually ran to Shahu Village despite the heavy rain.
After Zhao Hai had Fat Mao and Zhou Qianqian settled down, he arrived at the big tent in Shahu Village. Huo Fenghuang and the others were all in the big tent. As soon as he saw Zhao Hai coming in, Huo Fenghuang immediately said: "Hecao,
What's going on? Did something happen at Laorou Village? Why are you here at this time?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, don't worry, Laorou Village is very safe, and it has been prepared for rain. You don't have to worry about anything. The reason why I came here this time is because I want to take advantage of it."
After a period of time, plant some plants and collect some water for experiments."
When Fire Phoenix heard what Zhao Hai said, she couldn't help but be stunned. Then she was relieved, but she still looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion and said: "What kind of plant do you plant? Can it grow?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It certainly can. What I planted are mutant seeds and bottle trees."
"Bottle tree? Can the bottle tree also make mutant seeds?" Fire Phoenix really knew about the bottle tree. After all, she was born in Shiwanda Mountain, which is known as the paradise of plants. Almost all kinds of plants are found there, so she
Naturally, we also know the bottle tree.
However, in Huo Fenghuang's impression, it seemed that no one had ever used the seeds of the bottle tree to make mutant seeds, which really made him very curious.
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I did this myself. You may have heard that I rescued the siege of Huangfeng City. The reason why I was able to rescue the siege of Huangfeng City was because I made a mutant baobab tree seed.
Seeds, when needed, turn this mutant seed into a baobab tree, and baobabs can grow on it, which can provide food for people. The same is true for bottle trees. Bottle trees can store water and put bottles
After the tree seeds turn into mutated seeds, when it rains, plant the mutated seeds to grow bottle trees, collect the rainwater, and release the bottle trees when necessary, while the water inside will still be there.
We can provide people with drinking water.”
Upon hearing what Zhao Hai said, Huo Fenghuang and the others were all surprised. After a while, Huo Fenghuang suddenly stood up, looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Hecao, is what you said true? There is really something on your body.
With these two kinds of seeds, can you provide food and water to the army?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fire Phoenix and knew something was wrong, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, I just ran all the way from Laorou Village because I wanted to use the bottle tree to collect water for experiments.
I came here, but I don’t have a lot of baobab and bottle tree seeds now. It’s okay to supply an army of 10,000 people without force, but it can’t be provided for a long time. At most, it can only be enough for them to eat for a few days.
.”
Huo Fenghuang looked at Zhao Hai and said with excitement: "What if it is in a place with abundant natural energy? For example, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains? If it is in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, how long can you provide energy to the Ten Thousand Army?
food?"
As soon as Zhao Hai heard what Huo Fenghuang said, he knew what she wanted to do. It seemed that she was preparing to launch troops against Tiger Soul Country. Although Zhao Hai thought that now was not the best time to launch troops against Tiger Soul Country, he did not say
He came out and said in a deep voice: "If it were in Shiwanda Mountain, it could be provided for a few more days, but every time I release baobab trees and bottle trees, it will destroy the growth of other plants, so this method is also
It won’t take long, so if we really go into Shiwanda Mountain, I think we can find food on the spot. There are so many things to eat in Shiwandashan, as long as we bring some dry food with us.
If you bring some salt with you, you will almost never be hungry in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If we really attack the Hundred Thousand Mountains, we can still rob some small villages, and we don’t have to worry about food at all."
