Something's wrong with my sword spirit

At night, I cooked another bowl of cabbage to satisfy my hunger. When I woke up in the morning, I saw another leaf on the tree turned into green silk. I quickly planted it and watered it. This time, Yanjin moved to another place and planted it next to the previous one. beside.

Then he walked back to the tree and asked Qing to count the leaves. Today there are 41 leaves, and there is no new growth. That is to say, he may run out of food again in 41 days.

"What do these leaves look like?" He wanted to know more.

Qing Heng flew up and took a closer look: "Oval green leaves with clear meridians, all grow horizontally, one side is dark green and the other side is green, most of them are green side up... No, all of them are green side up, huh... "

"how?"

"This is the only piece with the dark green side up."

Yanjin had a flash of inspiration: "Remember the location of this area."

"Okay." Qing Heng touched the branch next to him with the tip of his sword, drawing a thin mark.

An hour later, the green silk sprouted in the field, and at night, it grew into a Chinese cabbage.

After eating unsalted and oil-free cabbage for three consecutive days, Yanjin could no longer feel the deliciousness. He didn't do much activity every day and didn't consume much, so he might as well keep half of it. He wanted to try something else tomorrow, just in case something happened. Woolen cloth.

The next day, he got up together and went to explore the leaves on the tree. There was a green silk, and there were 40 leaves left.

Qing Heng caught a glimpse of the mark left yesterday, and told him that the one that turned into green silk was the dark green upward piece, so he also followed his reminder, and found another leaf that turned over, which should be changed tomorrow. It is not tall, Yanjin can reach out and touch it.

He put his hands on it, and the leaves felt the same as usual, but there were some fine fluffs on the dark green side, and he could feel the difference between the two sides.

After studying the leaves, he took the green silk to plant cabbage. This must be planted every morning, otherwise it will not grow at night.

He changed the position of the green silk today and planted it in another row, separated from the position of the previous two days by a thin ditch.

However, this time, two hours had passed, and the sprouts hadn't sprouted yet. He poured another bowl of water, but it still didn't help. After six hours, there was still no movement. He planned to dig out the green silk, but nothing happened. Can't find it.

The earth swallowed the seeds, but no cabbage grew.

So, only the first row can grow things?

Or, Chinese cabbage can only grow in the first row?

Qing Heng said that according to the water canals, this field has many rows. Perhaps, different plants have fixed positions to grow?

But where would he find other plants?

There was no harvest tonight. Fortunately, he left half of the cabbage yesterday, boiled it and ate it, and couldn’t wait for the next day. There was no accident with the green silk. It was the piece he touched yesterday. He planted it first and watered it. There are 39 leaves.

The leaves have been decreasing and there is no new growth. Fortunately, despite the strong mountain wind, they did not fall or wither.

There was a chair in the room. He moved it under the tree and stepped on it with crutches. He touched several leaves. Through yesterday's observation, he could basically distinguish whether the leaves were turned over or not. One of the leaves was turned over. This is tomorrow. The ration, he caressed carefully.

Then I turned the unturned leaf next to it with my hand, so that its dark green color was upward.

When I checked again after a while, the leaves were still dark green and upward, and they did not turn back.

Will two pieces of green silk grow tomorrow and become two cabbages?

If this is the case, he has a bold idea to turn over more leaves and harvest more cabbages, sell them down the mountain, and buy other things for some money.

But when it was dawn, two pieces of green silk did not grow on the tree as he wished, and he said clearly: "There is only one."

"Then how many leaves are left now?"

"37 pieces."

"The one I flipped yesterday is gone." He was annoyed, "Didn't this swallow a leaf of mine?"

But think about it, he forcibly turned over the leaf, as if he was the one who was wronged.

He didn't want to get angry, and he heard a puzzled voice: "But the color of this satin is a little different from yesterday's."

"What color is it?"

"This one is cyan."

"Where did you grow up?"

"In..." Qing Heng remembered the position of the leaf he flipped over yesterday, flew up and gestured a few times, "It should be between the two leaves, hanging on the branch."

"So, could it be that the two leaves can become other seeds?" The colors are different, and the things that are planted may be different.

He quickly took the blue silk and was about to put it in the field, but after thinking for a while, he stopped: "If we say that different plants have different positions, then shouldn't I be planted in the first row?"

He couldn't be sure, so he could only try desperately and bury the green silk in the second row. If there was nothing, the problem would not be too big. He left half of the cabbage yesterday.

Plant it, water it, wait.

An hour later, nothing happened.

Two hours later, still nothing happened.

He was a little sleepy waiting: "Is the deduction wrong?"

At the third hour, there was finally movement in the soil, Qing Heng said: "There are small green sprouts emerging."

"Great." He regained his energy and watched carefully.

This small bud grows very slowly, and it is not until evening that some vine leaves grow. The vine leaves grow strangely and can stand up on their own without the need for a frame to support them.

At night, he felt small flowers blooming on the vines, and felt that the ground was a little dry, so he poured a bowl of water.

Then he ate half a cabbage, and sat by the vine until midnight, when the small flowers gradually grew into long strips, and he already knew: "This is a cucumber."

It's a pity that they haven't grown up yet, and cucumbers grow slower than cabbages. He reckoned that he wouldn't be able to wait until tonight, so he asked Qing Heng to go to bed, and he kept watch by himself.

Wait until dawn, the cucumbers will grow, and three cucumbers will grow on one vine. Calculate the time, it should be 24 hours, twice as long as Chinese cabbage.

That is to say, two leaves can produce blue satin. It needs to be planted in the second row of the field, watered with two bowls of water, and then it will take twelve hours to grow cucumbers.

Cucumbers can be eaten raw, which is relatively easy. He walked under the tree and wanted to try what three or four leaves could grow.

Qing Heng had woken up and told him that there was a piece of green silk on the tree.

He paused for his hand that was stepping on the stool to turn over the leaves: "Yes, I forgot to turn over yesterday."

Green silk is automatically generated every day. If you don't move other leaves, one leaf will turn into green silk every day, and then grow into cabbage.

And if you turn over one more leaf manually the day before, the two leaves will merge together and turn into a blue satin the next day.

But today it has become green silk, and there is no chance to change it again.

There were 36 leaves left, and he was a little reluctant for a while, so he planted the cabbage first, touched the other leaves, and only turned over one.

Let’s plant cucumbers for two days first.

But today I can only grow cabbage.

He has been used to eating only one meal a day for the past few days, so he doesn't feel hungry at this time, so let's save these cucumbers for dinner at night, and he has to save some.

Cucumbers need a day and a night, 24 hours to grow, and if you decide to grow cucumbers, you will not be able to grow cabbage in a short while, until tomorrow two leaves turn into green silk, plant them, and he will be able to harvest cucumbers the morning after tomorrow, and tomorrow is No cabbage.

In this way, eating is still very nervous, and today this cabbage is still eaten every time.

After figuring out the law of time, there is no need to keep watch. The sun was high at noon, so he withdrew and sat in the shade in front of the bamboo house with his eyes closed to rest.

After taking a short nap in the afternoon, I woke up refreshed. I heard birdsong in the distance, and I was distracted for a while, but I felt that if I woke up every day, all I cared about was whether the cabbage and cucumber had grown, and that was fine.

When he moved lightly, a pleasant voice sounded beside him: "Wake up."

"Well, Qing Heng, have you been by my side?"

"I'm not by your side, and I don't know where to go or what to do."

Yan Jin actually heard some hint of dependence from this clear tone, and after a few days of getting along, he was also happy that the sword spirit clings to him.

In the open mountains and plains, when you open your mouth, there is always a response around you, which feels good.

Qing Heng was silent for a while, seemingly hesitating: "Actually, there is a question I've been wanting to ask."

"Speak." He sat upright, listening to the other party's cautious tone, a little nervous for no reason.

"That's...why is cabbage green and cucumber green?"

"Ah?" Yanjin relaxed, leaning against the wall outside the bamboo house again, "Most vegetables are green."

"But why aren't they called green vegetables and green melons?"

"This one……"

You are really embarrassing me about this. Where do you go to check the science at this time, he racked his brains and made it up: "Look, Qingheng, the stem of the cabbage is white, and there are cucumbers... the flowers of cucumbers It's yellow."

"Oh, I understand." Qing Heng answered seriously, but it made Yan Jin feel like he was misleading his younger brother.

In the evening, when the Chinese cabbage was ripe, he ate a little and left most of it. After eating the cucumbers, the next day, green silk appeared on the tree, and two leaves were missing, and now there are only 34 leaves left.

The green silk was planted in the second row, poured two bowls of water, and he did not forget to turn over the leaves, this time after thinking about it, he turned over two leaves ruthlessly.

See what color silk will be produced by the three leaves.

There was no need to guard today, but according to Qing Heng, this time the green silk did not grow vines, but tall branches.

"Isn't it growing cucumbers this time?" He questioned, "Is the growth of green silk not fixed?"

If this is the case, it would be interesting. Wouldn’t it be fun to unpack the blind box every time you plant it?

But the premise is that the things grown must be edible.

Qing Heng volunteered to stay by his side, and told him after he grew up that he hadn't slept well the past two days, and he was indeed a little tired, so he agreed, took out the quilt and wrapped it up for Qing Heng, and went back to the house to rest for a while.

Who knew that after falling asleep until the next morning, when he opened his eyes, he could hear the words whispered in his ear: "It has grown."

"It's still 24 hours." He thought, even if the things that grow are different, the basic conditions such as watering and other basic conditions are often the same for green silk. "What is it growing?"

"Eh..." Qing Heng tried hard to think, "Maybe it's... purple melon, seaweed?"

"Purple melon?" Yan Jin was taken aback. He had never heard of what it was, "As for seaweed, it probably won't grow in the soil."

But not necessarily here.

He got up and got out of bed, went to the field with a cane, bent over to touch: "Oh, these are eggplants, there are three eggplants in total."

"Is it a vegetable too?"

"correct."

"Then why not green?"

"This... there are always exceptions."

"Then why isn't it called a vegetable or a melon?"

"..." Yan Jin wiped the sweat off his forehead, "It's as if they are all human, but everyone looks different and has a different name."

"Oh." Jian Ling sighed, "It's so troublesome to remember the names of these vegetables."

"Is it troublesome?" These are common things, and they are conditioned reflexes engraved in the memory, so there is no need to memorize them at all?

The author has something to say: Well, I want to say something first, the protagonist is mainly to build a warm home together, get what you want, do what you want, and you don’t have to do what you don’t want to do. No shortage, no worries.

They will not develop into an explosive business model in the end, and they will not become popular. The mountain is their paradise, and there will never be too many people coming and going.

If you don't meet your expectations, just... feel free.

Of course, I still hope to be recognized, and I will work hard!
