Chapter 361
"In short, the boat and the water are inseparable. I hope my people can live a better life. I can't just let myself drift on the sea. The most important thing is to work hard at the helm and sail in a better direction. My tribe is small but busy now, so no one can be idle."
After Yu Sui finished speaking, he saw that Hawke showed no sign of speaking, but instead seemed to be thinking about something, so he continued to bend over and plant flowers.
Hehe, what a good bowl of chicken soup, his video was not watched in vain! Yu Sui gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Hawke's way of speaking and temperament reminded him of Shuyu, but the two were only similar at first glance. Once they got along, he realized they were very different.
Shuyu is also afraid of getting dirty. After all, as a prince, he has always been pampered. But when he was in the Gray Iron Tribe, he helped the dwarves with their work without hesitation. He didn't get angry even if they got dirty. He also took good care of the little cubs and was soft-hearted and kind.
If it were Shuyu, he would never feed the cubs with potentially dangerous food to test the orcs.
However, as the son of the Duke, Hawke also faced a situation where his brothers looked down on him and his uncle also hunted him down, which was naturally different from Prince Shuyu.
Sigh, I don't know if Shuyu has returned to the tribe, if he has caught up with the elves like Freis who left earlier, and if there is any danger on the road...
Thinking of this, Yu Sui mechanically buried seeds and cast magic with his hands, but his mind was drifting away, complementing Hawke who was also in deep thought beside him.
In order to facilitate weeding and fertilizing, there are ridges separating the fields, which are just right for planting big-mouthed flowers. Given the hunting range of big-mouthed flowers, planting one plant every two or three meters is enough.
Before he knew it, Yu Sui had walked a long way. When he felt the pain in his back, the sky had darkened. Looking back, Hawke's figure had disappeared without a trace.
Wow, this guy didn’t even say goodbye when he left. Isn’t that very polite? Yu Sui thought to himself.
Blue and the other orcs walked back in small groups, greeting him with smiles.
"Xiao Yu Sui, you're out in the field like this. We just weeded the field you're standing on yesterday. We don't need your help."
"I just caught some bugs and sprinkled the insect repellent you brought back."
"Aren't you going back to eat?"
The snow wolves spoke enthusiastically to Yu Sui, one after another, talking at once.
Following them were small orcs and snow wolves who joined later. They were not that familiar with Yu Sui, so they did not speak, but just watched with kind eyes from the side.
Yu Sui pointed to the brightly blooming big-mouthed flower next to him and said, "I'm here to plant flowers. With them in the future, we won't have to spray insect repellent or catch bugs."
Blue and the others rushed over, and the orcs who were a little slower could only see the tops of others' heads.
"Open up, open up, let me take a look. Hey, isn't this a biting plant?"
Blue ignored the others. After seeing that the big-mouthed flower had indeed eaten an ant that had crawled onto its petals, he stood up excitedly, pushed away the orcs around him, crawled out, and walked to Yu Sui.
"There is no such flower around the Red Grass Tribe. It really eats insects! Doesn't it harm the crops?" He asked a little excitedly and worriedly.
Yu Sui shook his head and said with a smile, "If you plant it directly and let it grow on its own, it will definitely compete with crops and vegetables for nutrients in the soil. But as long as you plant it in a flowering state, it will absorb nutrients by hunting various insects. What it can't absorb will be fed back into the soil. It's a plant that kills two birds with one stone."
Since coming to the Heitu tribe, Blue has benefited a lot, whether it is the well or the big-mouthed flowers that now eat insects.
Rubbing his broad, rough palms together, a flattering smile appeared on Blue's face. "Little Chief, can you give me some of its seeds? I want to take some back to the tribe."
He felt a little uneasy. Such an important plant, he didn't know whether the young patriarch would agree...
"Okay, but it's best not to plant it this year. The Red Grass Tribe gets warmer earlier than here. Next year, you should plant the big-mouthed flowers first. By the time you sow the crops, the big-mouthed flowers will be almost blooming, and it won't affect the growth of the crops." Yu Sui reminded.
He only knew that the big-mouthed flower could repel insects, and he didn't know whether it could withstand the cold. It would be better if it could survive the winter, but if not, the seeds could start growing in the spring.
Blue nodded repeatedly, staring at the big-mouthed flower eagerly. When he was in the tribe, what he and his tribesmen hated most was catching insects. It was really difficult to catch such small creatures with the thick fingers of a minotaur.
In the Black Map Tribe, the work of catching insects is done by other orcs. Insect repellent cannot be sprayed too much, otherwise even the crops will be affected.
Seeing how hard Blue and Jerry were trying to catch the bugs, everyone tacitly agreed not to use them. Catching bugs wasn't difficult anyway, as long as they didn't damage the plants.
Now with Kooterka, all the Tauren of the Red Grass Tribe will be liberated!
The most important thing is that the bugs on the ground can be caught, but if the bugs underground don’t come out, the Minotaur really can’t do anything about them.
Every year, many vegetables are bitten by insects and have holes in them, but insect repellents cannot be used frequently, which is really a headache.
"What if it's the bugs underground? Will they chew up its roots?" Blue thought of this and asked hurriedly.
Yu Sui recalled the time he was collecting seeds, when all sorts of insects scrambled out of the ground to crawl onto the flowers. He slapped his lips and slapped the goose bumps that had risen again. He replied, "The big-mouthed flower secretes a scent that attracts insects, luring them to crawl onto the flower and then eat it. So don't worry, the insects underground will be attracted by the scent before they even get close to the roots."
It can be like this! Blue's eyes were so wide that they seemed to be shining. The look he gave to the big-mouthed flower was like Grandet staring at a gold coin.
It was getting late, and Yu Sui looked at the big-mouthed flowers he had planted. They were enough to eat up almost all the insects in the area of nearly a thousand acres. He had no choice but to continue planting tomorrow.
Bring a few helpers tomorrow to plant the big-mouthed flowers for him. He will only be responsible for casting magic, so the time required will be greatly shortened and it will be completed in about a month.
Especially the beet fields and cotton fields, these two are of top priority and must not be destroyed by insects.
The reason why modern agricultural products have high yields is not only because the seeds are optimized, but also because various pesticides are the main contributors.
Although people later pursued green, pollution-free and pesticide-free agricultural products, those who have personally farmed the land know that if you don’t use pesticides, you are simply giving insects extra food and you won’t harvest much at all.
We also resist chemical fertilizers. If it is pure organic fertilizer and no pesticides, it is not a green product, but a "three-no" product, with no leaves, no roots, and no fruits.
