Xia Huajiao naturally didn't want to stay and watch the house.

This guy was wilder than a monkey. He didn't want to watch the house, he just wanted to go out and play.

Xia Lunong tried to appease him by laying out facts and reasoning with him, promising to take him out to play when he came back, especially to the mountain where he was dug.

Xia Lunong went back to the house and sat down on the sofa, leaning back against it, rubbing his face with his hands.

After talking to Xia Huajiao, he was so tired that his cheeks were sore.

Kong Zhi handed him a cup of tea.

Xia Lunong took it, drank it in one gulp, and said with a long sigh: "I feel that Xia Huajiao's education should be put on the agenda, otherwise it will get bigger and bigger and harder to teach in the future."

Xia Lunong had just joked that Xia Huajiao was a son before, but now he really felt the feeling of raising a child.

Even though Xia Huajiao can communicate with Xia Lunong now, the "animal nature" in him is still far higher than human nature.

This is not a good thing.

Kong Zhi: "You can't get fat in one bite, take it slowly."

Xia Lunong nodded, "I'll keep this in mind for now."

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian went out to exchange the porcelain pot, leaving only the two of them at home.

Xia Lunong sat for a while, stood up and stretched, "Let's make dinner, and fry some meat to eat on the way."

Kong Zhi: "Don't you want to bring hot pot base? Are

you going to eat hot pot this time?" "It's okay to eat hot pot. Let's see if we can find enough ingredients on the way."

Xia Lunong was cautious. Even if he decided to eat hot pot on the way, he still prepared some fried meat to take with him.

Anyway, it's better to be prepared.

They went out very early the next day. The sun hadn't come out outside yet, and the weeds on both sides of the road were condensed with morning dew.

When the truck drove to the foot of the mountain, they took a detour to see the honeysuckle planted there.

The honeysuckle was crawling in the grass and had already grown tender leaves.

Xia Lunong looked up at Kong Zhi beside him, "It's grown."

"Why should I doubt whether you can grow it?" Kong Zhi reached out and pulled him, "We've seen it, let's go."

"Wait, I'll water it again."

Kong Zhi nodded, Xia Lunong smiled at him, went to the car to get the water prepared in advance, and poured it directly on the roots of the honeysuckle.

After the two of them finished watering, they climbed onto the truck shoulder to shoulder with buckets in their hands and fought.

Yan Xinian poked his head out of the driver's seat, "Then let's go directly?"

"Okay." Xia Lunong shouted, "Brother Xinian, you drive."

Yan Xinian stepped on the accelerator and slowly started the truck.

As the speed increased, the autumn wind poured into the car, blowing up the tarpaulin covering both sides.

Kong Zhi took out his coat and handed it to Xia Lunong, "Put on one more piece of clothing."

"Okay." Xia Lunong wrapped the clothes around himself, lay down, and rested his head on Kong Zhi's thighs, mumbling, "I'll sleep for a while. I didn't get enough sleep last night."

Kong Zhi touched his head, "Change into beast form and sleep."

Xia Lunong thought about it, agreed, and changed into beast form on the spot, wagging his big furry tail and crawling out of the pile of clothes and into Kong Zhi's arms.

Kong Zhi reached out to hug him and wrapped him in clothes.

The cat form is smaller than the human form and easier to move.

Xia Maomao soon fell asleep with his legs spread out, and his long cat fur spread on Kong Zhi's legs, soft and smooth.

Kong Zhi held the cat, with a smile in his eyes.

Their car bumped along the almost abandoned road and drove to Changhe Marsh.

Changhe Marsh was a scenic spot before the disaster, and it was a famous scenic spot. Before

the disaster, this scenic spot was famous for reeds and swans, and now it has become a paradise for mutated animals and plants.

It was already dark when the truck entered the scenic spot.

Yan Xinian followed the notice at the entrance of the scenic spot, drove the car into the abandoned parking lot, and shouted, "Let's stay here for

one night?" Xia Maomao was half asleep and "meowed" in the car in response.

Yan Xinian had sharp ears, and after hearing this, he smiled and said, "If Xiao Nong has no objection, then no one else should have any objection either. Let's do this."

Yan Xinian locked the car and got out. Xia Huoqu also got out of the car, and the two stretched their limbs in the open space.

Xia Maomao turned his emerald eyes to Kong Zhi, urging him to get out of the car with his eyes.

Kong Zhi stroked his soft back, "Then I'll get out of the car."

Kong Zhi jumped out of the car and covered the tarpaulin.

In the dim car, Xia Maomao put his front paws on the ground and stretched forward, his buttocks arched, his mouth wide open, and yawned in the shape of a cat. He felt comfortable all over, and then he changed back to human form, lazily put on his clothes and socks, picked up two bamboo seeds from the sack beside him, and ran out of the car.

The parking lot of Changhe Swamp was very large. Now there was only one empty car left, which looked very spacious.

Xia Lunong pulled up the grass in the fertile soil on the side, dug two shallow pits, and buried the bamboo seeds. While burying, he said, "I'm planting bamboos, so there's no need to get water separately."

Xia Huoqutou didn't reply, "Then I'll go collect firewood with your old brother."

Xia Lunong nodded, "Be careful."

Xia Lunong input all his superpowers into the bamboo seeds.

Superpowers cannot be stored, and they will slowly recover within a day after use. Based on this feature, Xia Lunong didn't hesitate at all and stuffed all his superpowers into them.

This was also the first time he used all his superpowers on only two plants.

He used them sparingly before, usually one to many.

After inputting the supernatural power, he did not leave, but squatted beside and watched.

Two bamboos soon sprouted tender shoots, drilled out of the soil, and then grew taller and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning from light green to emerald green.

After more than a minute, the bamboo grew to the height of Xia Lunong's knees, and continued to grow slowly upwards.

Kong Zhi cleared the middle of the camp and came over to watch the growth of the bamboo with him, "No matter how many times you watch it, it still feels magical."

"It's magical in the first place." Xia Lunong leaned lazily on his legs, "We just need to wait here for my brother and the others to come back."

The campsite was cleaned up, and the two had nothing to do.

Kong Zhi simply took two small stools and sat in front of the bamboo with Xia Lunong to wait.

The bamboo grew upwards.

Twenty minutes later, the bamboo was already two or three meters high, and the bamboo leaves stretched out, rustling in the wind.

When the bamboo grew to about three meters, it stopped growing, the stem began to thicken, and the bamboo bark changed from emerald green to dark green.

At the same time, the bamboo began to bloom small, beige bamboo flowers, and bamboo shoots began to emerge from the bottom.

Xia Lunong was the creator of all this, but he still did not expect this scene.

He originally just wanted to promote the growth of two bamboos and absorb some water as their drinking water for tonight.

He had experimented in the base before, and the plants themselves are the best filters, so there is no problem using bamboo to absorb water.

After bamboo absorbs water, it will store it in the hollow bamboo nodes. When the time comes, they can cut down the bamboo and directly take the water from the nodes.

It was the first time for him to know that when a large amount of supernatural power was used to promote the growth of bamboo, bamboo would actually bloom and grow small bamboo shoots!

This was completely beyond his expectations!

Xia Lunong was no longer sleepy. He stood up, looked up at the bamboo, and continued to observe the next scene without blinking.

The beige flowers of the bamboo quickly withered, and slowly grew purple-red fruits.

Those fruits swelled a little bit, and the leaves of the bamboo began to dry up.

Kong Zhi came over with a hoe, looked up, and said, "We will harvest the bamboo fruits and try it later."

Xia Lunong nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Kong Zhi first dug out the bamboo shoots growing on the side of the bamboo.

These bamboo shoots have been growing taller visibly. If they are not dug up, they will probably get old soon.

There are a total of eleven bamboo shoots from the two bamboos.

The bamboo shoots are of different sizes and weigh about seven or eight pounds.

Kong Zhi picked three and peeled them, and put the rest in the cart to preserve them with their shells.

After the bamboo shoots were peeled, the flesh inside was as green as jade, tender and very cute.

Xia Lunong picked up the bamboo shoots and sniffed them gently. The bamboo shoots smelled very good, exactly the same as the bamboo shoots dug out from the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain and in the wild. There should be no problem.

Kong Zhi took out a chopping board from the cart and sliced ​​the bamboo shoots.

Xia Lunong had used up all her powers. She sat beside him, looking at the bamboos and him, listening to the rhythmic sounds of cutting bamboo shoots, yawning and feeling sleepy.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian came back almost an hour later, both carrying things in their hands.

Before Yan Xinian even walked into the base, he called out from afar: "Xiao Nong, your powers are amazing! The bamboos have grown so tall in just one hour?"

After being shocked, Xia Lunong felt a little exhausted, lazy, and unable to muster up the energy. "This is beyond my expectation. These bamboos are not only tall, but also bear bamboo fruits and bamboo shoots."

"I was wondering why the bamboo leaves turned yellow. It turns out they are bamboo nuts!" Yan Xinian said, "I heard that it takes decades for bamboo to bear fruit?"

Xia Lunong shook her head, "I don't know. Maybe when I use my supernatural powers, I just need the bamboo to grow quickly and provide us with enough water. Do they feel a sense of crisis?"

Yan Xinian looked up, "That's really spectacular."

The bamboo bark has slowly turned yellow, and the bamboo nuts in the crown have turned purple-red.

The bamboo nuts are very large, almost every one is as big as a soybean, heavy, and bends the branches. It looks very tempting, and it also emits a unique fragrance of bamboo.

It took these two bamboos more than an hour from budding to withering.

Xia Lunong experienced the complete birth-inducing process for the first time. At this time, she stared at the bamboo in a daze, with a lot of words in her heart, but no words could express it.

He looked down at his hands. It was these hands that took more than an hour to make the bamboo complete a life cycle.

It was incredible.

Xia Huoqu patted his shoulder and said, "Your superpowers have become stronger."

"It seems so." Xia Lunong murmured, "I became stronger without realizing it."

Yan Xinian said, "That's a good thing."
