Xia Chujian tried hard to digest Sanrong's meaning and asked with a frown, "You mean, because it has no smell, even if you have seen it once now, you can't find it by smell?"
Three Manes nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! That's it!"
He stared at the plant for a moment longer, his eyes filled with even greater surprise. "...This plant takes a very long time to grow, perhaps tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years! It must be very rare, but why doesn't it have any taste?"
Xia Chujian thought to himself, maybe he didn't want to be smelled by an "alien" like Sanzong...
Otherwise, how come in the Beichen Empire's million-year history, there is only one record of humans finding Kongsang!
But she found it!
Is she lucky or is her aunt lucky?
Xia Chujian couldn't help but let his mind wander.
After a while, she withdrew her thoughts, stared at the empty mulberry tree, and asked in a low voice: "San Zong, if I asked you to plant this plant, would you have the confidence to grow it well?"
After a pause, Xia Chujian added, "This plant was raised by Xiao Sixi. He planted it there before..."
Xia Chujian pointed the barrel of the gun at the place where the small grass nest she had just uncovered was.
Sanzong hurried over and pulled away the floating grass on the ground with his hands. Under the light of Xia Chujian's helmet headlamp, he took a closer look.
There is a small pit in that place, which was dug out by the puppy, and you can see a faint plum blossom mark.
San Zong pinched the soil there with his hands, feeling it for a long time, and then said in disbelief, "...No wonder Xiao Sixi can keep this grass alive...because it's very easy to grow! All it needs is light, water, and a little bit of fertilizer!"
After saying that, he added, "...it's a hundred times easier to raise than a blood unicorn!"
"Are you sure?!" Xia Chujian's eyes lit up, and his voice almost trembled with excitement.
Three Manes nodded heavily, a serious expression on his face like an expert: "Three Manes is not as good as the old man when it comes to shooting; and the old man is not as good as Three Manes when it comes to farming!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched and she could hardly speak.
Since Kongsang is so easy to raise and is not a delicate blood unicorn, Xia Chujian will not be polite.
She knelt on one leg, holding one of the puppy's front paws, and said seriously, "Xiao Sixi, come back to Mulan City with me, and this plant will go back with us, okay?"
Xiaogouzi tilted his head to look at her, not knowing what she was talking about.
Xia Chujian pulled its front paw and shook it gently, saying, "If you don't say anything, it means you agree. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. Your precious plant will still be alive, and I will often make you... fried rice with eggs."
She can't afford to make scrambled egg beef, but she can still make fried rice with egg once a week.
But Xiaogouzi seemed to understand the three words "fried rice with egg" and almost jumped up to lick Xia Chujian's mask.
Xia Chujian was also happy and gently touched its furry head with his forehead.
She picked up the puppy and let it sit on the barrel of her submachine gun.
He then picked up Ping Qiong's helmet from the ground and put it on his head, saying, "San Zong, take care of this plant. By the way, how about that blood qilin over there? Is it ripe?"
San Zong carefully held the ball of mulberry leaves with roots and soil, nodding repeatedly and saying, "It's ripe, just ripe! San Zong wants to ask the old lady if she wants to try growing a blood qilin too?"
"Didn't you say it was difficult to grow?"
"San Zong didn't have the conditions before, but this time, San Zong wants to take the humus back with him!" San Zong's eyes lit up as he spoke. "San Zong thinks that perhaps the Blood Qilin should grow on this special humus that only exists in the Exotic Beast Forest!"
"Well, that's a good idea. But how do you get the humus back?"
"...Mrs. San Zong was thinking, could we use those round meat cans on flying machines?"
"Why?"
"The round jar containing the meat has a temperature regulating device, which can ensure that the blood qilin grows in an icy environment."
…
Sanzong kept nagging all the way, and when he, Xia Chujian and Xiaogouzi returned to Feng Qianzhan's civilian aircraft, Xia Chujian had already approved his plan.
"Okay, then we'll start filling the soil tomorrow."
"Why wait until tomorrow?—Can't we do it today?!"
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Three Manes is not sleepy!"
Xia Chujian looked at the time on the smart bracelet. It was only around ten o'clock in the evening, so it was indeed still early.
And she was in a very excited state, so she couldn't sleep.
More importantly, she wanted to hide this Kongsang tree secretly from everyone in the team.
So it's best to prepare now.
She nodded: "Then I'll help you."
"No need for a lady boss! Three Manes can do it all by himself!"
Xia Chujian thought of the two strange beasts that had just flown away and was worried that they would appear again. She insisted, "The Blood Qilin is too important to me. I must watch you deal with them."
Sanzong couldn't object to this.
…
In the storage room of the aircraft, Xia Chujian emptied the round can containing the unicorn beef. There was not much beef left, so he divided half of it and put it directly together with the goat meat from Luoxuzhou.
Leave the other half outside to thaw and make it delicious tomorrow.
This round metal can specially used for storing food is very smart and has an automatic cleaning system.
Xia Chujian let it clean itself for twenty minutes, and it was clean from inside to outside.
Sanzong moved the cleaned metal round can out of the aircraft and carried it to the place where the nest of blood unicorns was found.
