Chapter 134 Humans Need Plants for Healing
After Qiu Zhiyi finished sowing a batch of corn seeds, he drove the planter back and looked at the shimmering water, feeling that something was not right.
"Don't you guys think the pond has shrunk? Or is it just my imagination?"
The others also looked up and found that the water surface area was indeed much smaller than before.
Tao Yarong frowned. "It's not an illusion, it really has shrunk, and it's definitely not as spacious as it was before."
Lei Zhe glanced at the figure standing by the river, "It must have been my sister who did it. How can my sister's domain change size? What's the underlying principle?"
Anjiewen found it amusing. "As a superhuman in the apocalypse, you actually talk about principles?"
After their initial surprise, they continued with their work.
Meng Shiwan took out her phone, put it in her spatial storage, and then leaped perfectly into the pond.
In the crystal-clear water, it swims nimbly, parting the emerald green water plants, and diving to the bottom.
Below the water's surface was a layer of beautiful, colorful pebbles. Meng Shiwan pushed aside the stones, revealing a black, muddy bottom underneath.
Meng Shiwan's arm plunged into the mud, not even burying her forearm, and she felt the hard bottom below.
It must have been in water deeper than three meters, touching the edge of the farm space below.
Meng Shiwan turned around and surfaced, took a couple of breaths, and said to the system, "Fold the pond again, fold it into a depth of four meters, three meters of water depth, and one meter of mud bottom."
"Received, already folded."
The pond, which originally covered fifty acres, has been reduced to only twelve and a half acres after being folded down to a depth of four meters.
The pond shrank, which was clearly visible to the people who were farming with their tractors.
Jiang Yuan exclaimed, "You saw it right just now, the pond has shrunk, it's shrunk a lot."
They looked up and saw that the pond was much, much smaller than before.
Ma Jiandong glanced at the water's surface and said, "The area is smaller, but the water is much deeper. The manager must be adjusting it."
The group drove to the end of the pond and made a special trip to check it out. The water was much deeper, but the water quality was still clear.
Meng Shiwan took a breath, then submerged back to the bottom of the water to feel the depth of the mud, which was about right for growing aquatic products such as lotus root and water chestnuts.
She took out a pile of lotus seeds from her spatial storage and, with a graceful movement, scattered them evenly on the bottom of the water.
Then, take out the seeds of calla lilies, water chestnuts, and water spinach, and scatter each type of seed in a patch of water at intervals.
Such a large pond shouldn't be wasted; we should plant everything that can be grown there.
After finishing all that, Meng Shiwan swam ashore. She walked to a relatively central spot on the edge of the pond, took out a shovel, and began digging holes to prepare for planting fruit trees.
She had no saplings, only fruit kernels and seeds collected from the germplasm bank.
However, this was not a problem for Meng Shiwan, who possessed wood-type superpowers.
Plant a row of orange trees along the edge of the pond.
Five trees in a row, each five meters apart.
The second row is planted with apple trees, five trees per row.
Meng Shiwan dug a hole, took out a small seed, threw it into the hole and buried it, then walked five meters and dug another hole.
There are also pomegranates, mangoes, kiwis, pears, persimmons, and so on...
Plant every available fruit variety in a row.
Maintain a five-meter distance in all directions to give the fruit trees enough space to grow.
As for the climate issues of various fruit trees, there's no need to worry about it because of the wood-type ability.
With the powerful life force of the wood-type ability, there is no plant that cannot grow.
Meng Shiwan was busy digging holes to plant fruit trees, while several team members were busy planting crops. Seven or eight people were working hard on this farmland.
What used to be a tedious and tiring farm job has now become a source of hope and enjoyment.
Around noon, Lu Yu came to find Meng Shiwan, who was still digging a hole, and asked, "Sis, what are we having for lunch?"
"Whatever." Meng Shiwan took out the pile of kitchen utensils from her spatial storage, and then took out some vegetables and placed them on the ground, telling Lu Yu to take care of them.
Qiu Zhiyi just told Lu Yu that the power is out in the building.
Lu Yu stopped carrying the kitchen utensils to the hall and instead carried a large pot to the pond, where he set up a makeshift stove using an iron frame.
There was a water source in the pond next door. He had fire-type abilities and could get whatever he wanted. He was busy making lunch for everyone.
The fields, the pond, the smoke from the chimneys—it all evoked a sense of tranquility and peace.
Meng Shiwan planted a circle of fruit tree seeds, and in the middle of the orchard, there was a vacant lot of two or three acres.
She walked to the open space in the middle, bent over, and continued working.
Lu Yu steamed a big pot of rice and made a big stew in an iron pot. He called everyone in the group chat to come and eat.
Meng Shiwan has done enough digging and planting on this land.
She placed one hand on the ground, her slender fingers sinking slightly into the soft soil, releasing her wood-type ability.
A powerful life force swept outwards, spreading rapidly in concentric circles of green.
The seeds underground sprouted quickly, grew tall, and made a rustling sound.
The fruit trees grew very quickly. The trunks became thicker and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, branches sprouted, and the leaves increased rapidly, becoming denser.
In a short time, the fruit tree seeds planted in the soil have grown into a lush forest and are blooming with flowers of all colors.
In the pond next to it, the tips of lotus flowers quickly emerged from the water, stretched out, and floated on the surface, forming a round, emerald-green lotus leaf.
More and more lotus leaves spread across the water's surface, and in the distance, the leaves of water chestnuts, calla lilies, and ferns also spread rapidly across the water.
In a short while, the pond was covered with a vibrant green, and flowers bloomed to adorn it, giving it a unique charm.
The group of people who came to eat were pleasantly surprised by the view.
Looking at the green of the pond, Tao Yarong exclaimed, "It's so beautiful! I haven't seen such a large area of green plants in more than a month. Seeing it now is simply breathtaking."
Jiang Yuan took two deep breaths. "It smells like green plants, so refreshing."
That's how people are. After living in concrete cities for a long time, when they go out to see the mountains and rivers, they are always amazed by the scenery of nature.
Humans need plants to heal.
The group forgot about eating and walked through the orchard, discovering a hidden paradise inside.
Passing through the orchard in full bloom, we saw a large expanse of land inside.
One corner is planted with a large patch of lush shrubs, blooming with various small flowers.
There are winding paths through the bushes, and lush, dense lawns growing there.
Anjavin strolled around the path, carefully examining the plants, and then explained to the others, "They are berries, all kinds of berries."
This corner is a berry orchard, with a complete range of fruits and vegetables, including blueberries, currants, mulberries, snow berries, blackcurrants, and goji berries.
Along the edge of the path, there are also low-growing strawberry and physalis plants.
When the fruit ripens in this corner, the colorful berries will surely look beautiful.
