Chapter 239 Building a Fence

Seeing the seedlings coming out of the soil means good news - the seed potatoes are alive.

Xia Tian couldn't wait to check the germination rate, that is, to see how many had successfully sprouted and which had not. This is a comprehensive reference factor for judging various planting conditions.

After sorting and calculation, the current germination rate is about 80%.

This is very high in this wild environment, and some artificially cultivated seeds cannot reach this height.

"Xia Xia, what are you doing?" It was Si Ye who came back from outside.

Orcs who own territories have the habit of patrolling their territories regularly, and Si Ye is no exception. This is very important for them to maintain the security of their territories.

On days when he doesn't have to go out hunting, he will get up early and go out for a patrol. After confirming that there are no problems, he will come back to arrange other things.

"I'm watching the germination." Xia Tian stood up from the ground and pointed at the blue-purple seedlings on the ground. "They are really tenacious. It's incredible that they can survive in this environment."

Si Ye also came over to take a look. "Hmm, it looks good. But why are they so close? What are you planning to do with the rest of the place?"

"It's the seedling raising stage now, and we'll transplant them later. Then it'll be spacious. But we have to wait until they grow a little bigger." Xia Tian shook her head, "Just wait until they've all sprouted to the third section. Also, in the corner over there, I'm planning to plant some vegetables and small fruits."

Si Ye had no objection. "I'll do as you say. If you need any help, just tell me."

"Okay, I'll be busy once we get the goods." Xia Tian turned around and went back with Si Ye. "By the way, how's Xiaoxue doing today? Is she recovering well? Why didn't I see her?"

Si Ye walked beside the girl and explained, "I let it out for a run. Cubs can't be kept indoors all the time. They need to be allowed to run around so they can recover faster."

"That makes sense." Xia Tian also agreed with this point of view.

Although she had never raised a cub in this world, on Earth, the elderly would often say that children should not be raised too delicately.

The reason is that children are born with no antibodies. If they are raised too carefully, they will not be able to build up complete immunity during the process of growing up, and their health will be worse than other children in the future.

Of course, you can't be too rough. As long as you eat normally and pay attention to hygiene, there will basically be no problem.

Since Si Ye said so, perhaps this world treats exotic beast cubs the same way.

As long as you build up your own resistance, you will not be afraid of anything.

"Let's go back quickly. We still have to build a fence for the chickens."

After returning to the camp, the two began to prepare materials for building a fence.

Although they are called chicks, they are all real pheasant chicks. When they grow up, they can fly several meters high. Even if Xia Tian plans to clip their wings later, their jumping will be very exaggerated.

So first of all, when choosing materials, you must choose wood that is long enough.

But if it is long enough, its thickness will be limited and it will not be firmly embedded in the soil.

Xia Tian’s method is to first lay the foundation with short and thick wooden stakes at the bottom, and then fix thin branches on top, taking into account both height and stability.

"Something this long is safer." Xia Tian found a two-meter-long thin branch and showed it to Si Ye. "How about we stick some branches of the same length into the ground and then tie them together one by one?"
