When Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue arrived at Lingshui Village, they happened to see Grandpa Li carrying bones to feed several dogs in the flower garden.
Before the car stopped, Xiao Baiwan sniffed his nose and excitedly grabbed the car window to look in the direction of the backyard. As soon as Yan Yue opened the car door, Xiao Baiwan rushed out like an arrow, his figure as fast as a black lightning, and went straight to the bone in Uncle Li's hand.
Uncle Li was frightened by Xiao Baiwan, and hesitated as he held the basin, not knowing whether to put it down. Xiao Baiwan stared at Uncle Li eagerly, unable to move his eyes away, and drooled all over the floor.
Lu Lingxi ran over immediately, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He told Uncle Li to feed the basin of bones to Xiao Baiwan first. Xiao Baiwan had been eating vegetables every day during this period, and he must have been craving for meat. With Lu Lingxi's words, Xiao Baiwan ate three basins of bones in one breath, and ate up all the dinners of the dogs in the flower garden.
Uncle Li looked at it in amazement: "This Tibetan Mastiff is such a glutton, isn't it? You really can't afford to keep a Tibetan Mastiff like this without money."
Xiao Baiwan was full and lazily squatted at Lu Lingxi's feet, imitating Dahei's behavior and rubbing against Lu Lingxi's body affectionately. Lu Lingxi wanted to say that he ate too much, but Xiao Baiwan's furry face looked really cute, so Lu Lingxi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and touched Xiao Baiwan's head like he touched Dahei.
After dinner, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue discussed going to the river to dig some bitter grass. There was no wind tonight, so it was not cold outside. Yan Yue always indulged him. After helping Lu Lingxi put on his down jacket, Yan Yue held Lu Lingxi's hand with one hand and carried the prepared bucket with the other hand, and walked slowly to Lingshui River with Dahei and the others.
Xiao Baiwan had been feeling very depressed at home these days, so he started to have fun by himself at the river. Lu Lingxi hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that Xiao Baiwan ran really fast and disappeared in a moment. He called Xiao Baiwan from a distance, and Xiao Baiwan ran back after making a circle. Seeing Xiao Baiwan having fun, Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head and said, "Dahei, you should go too."
Dahei barked softly and squatted calmly beside Lu Lingxi. As long as he was outside, he would not leave Lu Lingxi easily.
"Great Dahei." Lu Lingxi understood what it meant and praised it with a smile. While he was talking to Dahei, Yan Yue had already packed up all the tools in the bucket. Lu Lingxi followed with a flashlight, shone it on the ice, and found a place where the ice looked relatively thin.
"How is it here?"
Yan Yue knocked it with a small hammer and nodded.
The ice was soon broken, and the water underneath had been purified, shining with silver light under the moonlight. As the water flowed, the branches and leaves of the bitter grass in the water stretched out, looking very graceful and affectionate. The two had prepared tools before they came, picked up the bitter grass near the river, and shoveled the mud and plants into the bucket with a small shovel. Yan Yue was now very familiar with this kind of work and did it very smoothly.
The two of them carried the bucket and did not return to the courtyard, but walked towards Songjiazhuang. Lu Lingxi wanted to test whether a Vallisneria ecological community could be formed upstream. If possible, then there would be no need to transplant too many evolved Vallisneria from the source of Songjiazhuang to the Lingshui River. As long as this section of waterway is included in the entire ecological community, the Vallisneria in it will naturally choose to evolve in the same way, which can also save the effort of cultivating Vallisneria.
As they went upstream, the water quality in Lingshui River became worse and worse. Although the plastic factory in Songjiazhuang had been demolished, the pollution had already been done. Starting from Songjiazhuang, the entire river surface was black. Even if the water from upstream kept washing, it was only the difference in the depth of the black color. Especially in winter, a layer of ice formed on the river surface, and all the black sewage was frozen. The bottom of the river could not be seen from the ice surface, which was a bit creepy.
Uncle Li said that since the last poisoning, the people of Songjiazhuang seemed to realize the importance of the environment overnight. Even if the city does not approve the money to manage the Lingshui River this time, the people of Songjiazhuang will raise money and find someone to manage it. They are really scared.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi stopped and said, "Let's do it here."
He and Yan Yue were now out of Lingshui Village, about a few hundred meters away from the first Vallisneria ecological community. Yan Yue quickly chiseled through the ice, and Lu Lingxi used a small shovel to clean up the stones and glass slag near the area to be transplanted, just like last time, and shoveled the nearby silt for a long time and dug a few suitable holes. One, two, three, four, five... The Vallisneria in the bucket was evenly distributed along the river bank, and a white panel floated out, with two lines of green words displayed below.
The Vallisneria ecological community is formed, water purification +50%, reward plant heart +500
Do homoplasmic plants select for homoplasmic evolution?
Without hesitation, Lu Lingxi quickly chose yes.
As the panel drifted out, Lu Lingxi was faintly scented with the fragrance of green grass. Yan Yue looked at him gently and asked, "Is it done?"
Lu Lingxi nodded, somewhat excited. His guess was right. This way, they could save a lot of trouble. The thought flashed through his mind, and Lu Lingxi was about to put away the panel, when he was suddenly slightly stunned. New changes appeared on the panel. Two Vallisneria ecological communities were displayed on the panel together. Just like the changes of the big willow tree last time, two green dots, one large and one small, represented different Vallisneria communities. A green line connected the two together. The newly formed Vallisneria ecological community expanded to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Lingxi opened his eyes wide in surprise, and a vague idea emerged in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue noticed something was wrong with Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi thought about it and decided to give it another try. "Brother Yan, let's go back and dig up a few more bitter grasses."
An hour later, Yan Yue parked the car by the river. This time, the two were a little far from Lingshui Village. If they walked, they would have to walk until the early morning. The two broke the ice like before, one, two, three, four, five... the last Vallisneria was planted, and a new Vallisneria ecological community was formed. After the reward prompt on the panel, the third green dot appeared in front of Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi vaguely grasped a clue and told Yan Yue his guess.
The two of them went back and forth to Lingshui Village again and again, from Lingshui Village all the way to Songjiazhuang, and formed seven Vallisneria ecological communities along the way. When the last Vallisneria ecological community appeared, seven green spots lit up on the panel, and the complete Lingshui River appeared on the panel.
The primary river ecological community is formed, rewarding Plant Heart +1000 and Natural Force +5.
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up, and his sight was quickly attracted by the 5 points of natural force. He still owed the panel 5 points of natural force, and finally had a chance to pay it back. Sure enough, the panel quickly deducted the 5 points of natural force reward, and at the bottom right of the panel, the natural force icon changed from red -5 to green 0.
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and his sight fell on the Lingshui River again. Previously, the color of the Lingshui River shown on the panel had always been black, but with the appearance of the green light spot, the black color of the river gradually faded, and a light blue background appeared faintly. Lu Lingxi guessed that this process was the purification process of the Lingshui River. When the color displayed on the panel turned back to blue, it meant that the purification of the Lingshui River was completed.
He heaved a sigh of relief and put away the panel. The purification of the Spiritual Water River and the reward of the power of nature solved two worries in one night. Lu Lingxi relaxed and fell asleep on the way back.
He slept until 8 o'clock in the morning. When Lu Lingxi got up, Yan Yue was no longer around. He faintly heard Yan Yue talking to Uncle Li in the yard, as if asking who owned the land across the Lingshui River.
After Lu Lingxi put on his clothes and washed up, he did not bother Yan Yue but went around to the backyard. He planned to go to the flower garden. After turning a corner, Lu Lingxi suddenly stopped. Not far ahead, Dahei swiftly bit towards Xiao Baiwan and easily bit off a mouthful of fur.
Xiao Baiwan roared angrily, but Dahei, relying on his agile body, did not confront Xiao Baiwan head-on, but just kept biting off strands of fur from his body.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
He seemed to understand why Xiao Baiwan was losing hair.
The first one to discover Lu Lingxi was Dahei. Dahei stopped halfway in his attempt to pounce and moved towards Lu Lingxi with a shamefaced look on his face, looking as guilty as someone who had been caught doing something bad.
Lu Lingxi flicked its head with his finger and waved at Xiao Baiwan.
Xiao Baiwan rushed over with grievance. Lu Lingxi took a look at Xiao Baiwan, and found that the condition of his body was exactly the same as when he lost his hair a few days ago. This discovery made Lu Lingxi speechless for a long time. Thinking that Xiao Baiwan had been forced to eat vegetables for more than a week, Lu Lingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood why he was surprised about the relationship between Dahei and Xiao Baiwan.
Dahei shook his ears and whimpered.
Lu Lingxi let go of Xiao Baiwan and patted Dahei's head in amusement. "Don't bully Xiao Baiwan anymore."
Dahei rubbed his head against Lu Lingxi's palm. Lu Lingxi felt soft in his heart and had no way to deal with Dahei. However, he soon thought of something, "Has Brother Yan known about this a long time ago?"
Dahei shook his head in a righteous manner and did not betray Yan Yue.
Lu Lingxi didn't believe it and scratched Dahei's chin, "Don't think I don't know. Dahei, just lie to me together with Brother Yan."
"What do you mean by lying?" Yan Yue walked over from a distance and asked with a smile.
Lu Lingxi glared at him and stretched out his hand. In his palm was a strand of hair that had been bitten off by Dahei.
Yan Yue was stunned, the smile on his face deepened, and he laughed out loud.
