Fairy Ocean Fireworks

In the early morning, the sun just emerged from the distant skyline, and the misty light instantly filled the earth.

In a quiet mountain village, in a unique little courtyard, people and elves walked out of their rooms sleepily, greeted the rising sun, and started a new day of life.

"Xiaoyi, come and eat this."

Xinyi walked up to the two little Eevees with a bowl of freshly made fruit puree, scooped up a full spoonful of the puree with a small spoon and put it to Xiao Yi's mouth.

"Bee?"

Xiao Yi did not open her mouth, but blinked her big eyes in confusion.

"This is sticky. If it gets on your fur, it's hard to wash off. Just let me feed you. Open your mouth, ah——"

"what--"

Xiaoyi opened her mouth obediently, took the spoon full of fruit puree into her mouth, sipped the fruit puree, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

"Easy!" (It's delicious!)

Xiao Yi looked at the fruit puree in the bowl, and his eyes instantly lit up. It was obvious that this fruit puree suited his taste very well, and he couldn't wait to open his mouth again.

"Just eat if you like, come here."

Xinyi smiled, scooped up another spoonful of puree and put it to Xiaoyi's mouth.

In this way, Xinyi fed Xiao Yi spoonful after spoonful of fruit puree.

"咘嘿~"

Xiaoyi happily ate the fruit puree and made happy sounds from time to time.

Not far away, Xiaosheng was also preparing food for his elves.

"Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one."

The elves surrounded Xiaosheng, holding their own food bowls, waiting for Xiaosheng to pour food for them, while the tear-eyed lizard stood on the outermost circle, looking towards Xinyi and Xiaoyi from time to time, with a little hope in their eyes.

"Okay, it's over."

Xinyi showed the empty bowl to Xiaoyi. Xiaoyi licked her lips, still savoring the delicious puree.

"When Xiaoye wakes up, you go to the grass with her to bask in the sun. I'll go and prepare everyone's breakfast with Chengxia first."

After saying that, Xinyi rubbed Xiaoyi's furry little head, then stood up and walked to the kitchen with the bowl in hand.

On the table, next to Xiaoyi, Xiaoye was still lying on his back on the table, holding a bottle and sucking milk while sleeping.

The two little guys were sleeping in Chengxia's room last night. I heard from her that Xiaoye had been watching a dance show on her bed until midnight before going to bed. Chengxia woke up in the middle of the night and found that it was still asleep. After confiscating the tablet, Xiaoye reluctantly returned to sleep in the bamboo basket nest.

It seems that Xiaoye likes dancing very much. When the doll practiced dancing two days ago, it kept staring at it.

……

Yesterday, when Xinyi and his party returned to the village with the Kodak Duck, the research team from the Morianshan Research Institute had already arrived at Pingye Village.

Afterwards, Xiaosheng immediately organized everyone to start the investigation. As novice researchers, Xinyi and Chengxia had been following two experienced researchers yesterday afternoon to record the current status of the regular food of the lazy people in the surrounding area.

However, the mission of the two people changed today. Xiao Sheng arranged for them to communicate with the villagers and ask them to cooperate in filling out the questionnaire.

This is mainly to find out whether the living and production activities in Pinye Village in recent years have affected the living conditions of this lazy group of people.

After breakfast, Shini took a thick stack of questionnaires from Xiao Sheng and read the questions above first.

"Xinyi, give me one."

Chengxia reached out to Xinyi for a questionnaire and read it carefully.

Memorizing the questions on the questionnaire in advance will make it easier to communicate with the villagers later. It can also test the villagers' sensitivity to some issues, otherwise they will get angry when they see some questions when they fill out the questionnaire. alright.

Xinyi had some bad experiences in this regard, both in his past life and in this life. For example, when he was in college in his previous life, he signed up for a mixed-credit research group during the summer vacation.

The leader of the group is a senior who wants to write a thesis based on the results of this research. He will lead everyone in conducting this research.

The result was that Xinyi had a very difficult time by cheating on his credits this time.

The main task of the group was to go to the countryside to find some passersby to fill out a questionnaire. When Shinyi received the questionnaire sent by his senior, he immediately discovered something was wrong.

The questions on the questionnaire are typical ones that can be thought up without leaving the door, just by searching on Baidu, and by tapping your head.

Many of the questions were very offensive to the privacy of the people who filled out the questionnaire. After that, Xinyi and another classmate embarked on the difficult road of being shamed with this questionnaire that was both unrealistic and offensive.

So this time, even if it was sent by Xiaosheng, Xinyi was very vigilant.

He read all the questions on the questionnaire carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Xiao Sheng and the others were professionals, and the questionnaire they produced was much more reliable than the questionnaire of the cheating senior student in his previous life.

In addition, when it comes to information about the village's overall economy, Xiao Sheng has already asked the village chief for the files of Pingye Village's economic data in previous years, so there are no relevant personal economic questions that are offensive (this survey requires to collect relevant information).

It is worth mentioning that some of the questions in the questionnaire are quite essential in Shini’s opinion, such as this——

(9. What do you think of the lazy man’s appearance?

A. Cute B. Silly C. Very friendly and not afraid of people D. Fill in your own words:

15. Do hyperactive apes like to cause trouble?

A. Yes B. No

There are details to tell:)

The above two questions, plus some other questions, all involve the villagers' impression of the lazy people. Some other questions involve whether the lazy people have an impact on the villagers' production and life, and if so, what impact does the lazy people have on the villagers' production and life? What kind of impact.

After the two read the questionnaire and kept some of the key questions in mind, they then asked Xiaosheng some questions and were ready to set off.

Before setting off, the captain of the research team of the Morianshan Research Institute specifically asked Xinyi and Chengxia to chat more with the villagers and ask the villagers if there was anything unusual about the elves in this area in the past few years. Behavior.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the research in the Pinye Village area was also over.

How to summarize the results of this survey?

There was only one sentence in Xinyi's mind - the fog remained.

At the beginning of the investigation, Xiaosheng obtained the files from the research unit that had conducted many inspections of this area, checked the various materials recorded in them, and compared them with the information obtained from this investigation. .

According to the information in the file, there is only one kind of psychic plant that is specially needed by the Lazy Man clan in this area, which is a psychic tree called Linden Heart Wood, and the Lazy Man eats its flowers.

The breeding season of the Lanrenweng clan plus the normal pregnancy time means that the baby Lazyweng is born when the linden heart flowers are in full bloom, and the flowering period of the linden heart flowers is very long, lasting three months.

Three months is enough time for a lazy baby to spend the early childhood years and accumulate the developmental nutrients needed for the next half year.

Moreover, the basswood and the apple tree have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. Some of the substances secreted by the two are beneficial to the growth of the other. Therefore, in the wild, the basswood and the apple tree often grow together.

There are many wild apple trees in this area, and naturally there are also many basswood trees.

According to records, the number of linden flowers here is several times more than the number of lazy people living here.

The above mentioned the survival situation of basswood trees in this area many years ago, but what is the situation now?

The answer is that the living conditions of bassheart trees are better today, and more than a little better.

The hillside next to the village where a large number of fruit trees were planted was not all originally planted with wild apple trees. There were also many native ordinary woods.

In order to develop rural tourism projects, the villagers of Pingye Village specially opened up a lot of land for planting fruit trees, and planted Pingye fruit trees on the hillside.

There have always been many wild linden tree saplings growing at the edges of orchards, forming a symbiotic relationship with nearby apple trees. The expansion of the area of ​​​​orchards has also resulted in linden saplings at the edges of orchards. Increase in wood quantity.

In addition, the ratio of dioecious and monoecious apple trees in wild apple trees is 2:1, female flowers: male flowers: male and female flowers = 1:1:1, while in artificially planted apple trees, in order to facilitate pollination, fruit farmers Monoecious apple trees will be planted.

The flowers of apple trees rely on wind pollination. The expansion of artificial apple trees has also increased the probability of pollination of female flowers of wild apple trees in this area, further increasing the number of wild apple trees and also increasing the number of linden trees. .

This is a very strange phenomenon. The number of apples, which are the regular food of the lazy people, and the linden flowers, which are special psychic plants, have increased. Why has the number of this lazy people never increased? It has remained the same for many years. What about within a certain range?

Yes, after comparing the number of members of this lazy man group recorded in the archives with the number of remains of lazy men and hyperactive apes found in the incident of the King of Leave, we found that——

Over the years, the food of the group has increased a lot, but the number of members of this lazy group has not increased.

Even when Xinyi and Chengxia were chatting with the villagers, they learned that the villagers gave away a large amount of excess apples to the Lanrenweng tribe every year because the villagers had a certain cooperative relationship with them.

Every year when the linden flowers bloom, the hyperactive apes of this group will take turns guarding the edges of the fruit trees. After the villagers see them, they will share some food with them, and they will also help the villagers guard the fruit trees.

In particular, the last month of the limewood's flowering period happens to be when the apples are ripe. The guards of the apes prevented some elves who were accustomed to stealing from eating the apples, and the villagers also reduced a lot of losses.

Because of this cooperative relationship, the villagers have a very friendly attitude towards this lazy group of people. Every year, they give away the excess apples and wild fruits that are too ripe to be transported and that cannot be sold in the end to this lazy group of people.

The amount of extra apples is quite large for this medium-sized group, enough for them to eat only apples for a month (they also eat many leaves and ordinary fruits).

After learning the news, Xiao Sheng and other researchers were even more surprised.

Originally, everyone speculated that the King of Leave did not kill all the tribesmen when he went crazy, and some hyperkinetic apes escaped.

However, according to the research team's comprehensive inspection of their habitat, and after comparing and examining their remaining hair, food residues, and excrement, they found that the numbers were correct, and no moving ape escaped at that time.

In order to further confirm this, Xinyi also asked Mengque to ask other elves living nearby, and the information obtained was the same.

Is it the influence of competitors or natural enemies?

This was everyone's initial guess, and then everyone conducted a series of verifications on it.

First of all, it must be affirmed that the lazy man clan has no real natural enemies.

The Lanrenweng clan is widely distributed in the Fangyuan area. Here, the predatory elves that are also widely distributed are the great wolfdogs, which are known as the most outstanding predators in Fangyuan.

The large wolfhounds that move in packs and are very united pose a great danger to many types of elves, but this does not include the lazy people.

For a medium-sized slut group, the presence of a leave king is enough to deter the big wolfdog.

Although the leave kings are lazy, they will not be polite when faced with threats to their own people. When they encounter a pack of wolves seeking death, they will directly kill the leader of the pack who is commanding his companions or the leader who takes the lead. Wolfdog.

Coupled with the assistance of many agile hyperactive apes, it is very easy for a group of medium-sized lazy people to deal with wolves. You must know that based on the average strength in the wild, the strength of hyperactive apes is slightly better than that of large wolf dogs. , the chances of winning when fighting alone are even greater.

So what about the small lazy population?

Let’s talk about the fact that the Lazy Man clan generally only lives in the forest, while the big wolfdogs generally move in small family units in the forest, and the number is usually three to five.

This number of large wolfdogs cannot threaten the small sluggard group at all. After all, they also have a similar number or even more hyperactive apes. In addition, the large wolfdogs' tree climbing ability is weak, so the sluts can only climb high. You don't have to worry about sneak attacks from big wolfhounds.

The only group that has the chance to come into contact with large-scale wolves is the large sluggish group. During the rising period, large groups spreading out of the forest will frequently come into contact with wolves, but the hyperactive apes, which are the main force in the spread, will not be afraid. Great wolfdog.

Hyperactive apes have excellent vision and sense of smell. Being alert around the clock, they will not give themselves a chance to be surrounded by large wolves, and small wolves cannot threaten them.

In addition, if there is a real sneak attack on the apes, the wolves will also suffer violent retaliation from the apes and the leave king. The wolves, especially the large wolf dogs with fixed dens, cannot bear this kind of revenge.

Therefore, the relationship between the big wolfdog clan and the lazy man clan has always been harmonious.

In addition to the giant wolfdog, Fangyuan's predators also have another notorious character, the rice spoon snake. It has a hard poisonous tail and sharp fangs. It is good at ambush and sneak attack hunting methods. It can be said to be the nightmare of other elves. .

But unfortunately, if hyperactive apes like to eat snake meat, then hyperactive apes are probably the natural enemies of spoon snakes.

When an agile and energetic hyperactive ape fights with a spoon snake, it will look like this——

The hyperkinetic ape kept teasing the rice spoon snake with its high mobility. The rice spoon snake kept resisting and responding, looking for opportunities to fight back, but could never find it. The fangs and tail could not touch a hair of the hyperkinetic ape. When its physical strength is almost exhausted, the hyperkinetic ape will give it a powerful blow.

Snake, pawn.

Therefore, the rice spoon snake will not be idle to offend the lazy people group.

Since the Lazy Man Clan has no natural enemies, what about its competitors?

Regarding the competitors of the Lanrenweng clan, it is actually similar to what Xinyi saw in Pingding Mountain.

Due to the easy-going nature of the lazy man clan and the natural enthusiasm of the hyperactive apes, their competitors are often their collaborators, helping each other to live together in the forest.

In this area, the same is true for the elves who have a competitive and cooperative relationship with the Lazy Man clan.

So what's the reason?

Fog still hangs over the heads of the investigation team.
