Chapter 1551 Who Tamed Whom?
In front of Zhuang Buyuan's eyes, the scene he had seen from his own Mifei'er could not help but flash across his eyes.
It was like a world made of plants, and in the world of plants, the petite three queens of Mephi'er.
Withered in a sea of blood and fire.
From the day the manor owners were born, they have conquered countless enemies and destroyed many civilizations.
The three Queens of Mife'er were not the first enemies they eliminated, nor would they be the last.
"That little girl in my family, I don't know how sad she would be if she saw you like this..." Zhuang Buyuan stretched out his hand and gently touched the trunk of the huge and ugly tree in front of him.
An extraordinarily complex emotion passed through him, and a series of chaotic thoughts flashed before Zhuang Buyuan's eyes. He couldn't grasp it for a moment, and he didn't know what this big tree wanted to say to him.
He raised his head and glanced again at the huge silver fruit sealed by heavy chains, then turned and left.
"Teacher?" Bo Zhuan looked at Zhuang Buyuan's back.
"I will find a way to find the ultimate weapon of the Industrial Party, and I will come back when the time comes." Zhuang Buyuan looked back at Bai Zhuan, then strode away, never looking back.
Zhuang Buyuan returned to the manor.
Instead of returning to the Qiaotou Manor, which he temporarily used as a base, he returned to the Almighty Manor.
During the recent period, Zhuang Buyuan has been away fighting everywhere, and has not returned to the manor for more than ten days.
Seeing Zhuang Buyuan, the servants in the manor happily greeted Zhuang Buyuan.
"The owner of the village is back?"
"I heard that you went to see Zhuan Zhuan? What kind of person is the leader of the manor owner?"
Zhuang Buyuan twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.
The anger in his heart gradually subsided.
All of this happened 200 million years ago, and what should have happened has already happened.
What he has to do next is to stop the tragedy from spreading.
but……
"Has any of you seen Mife'er?"
"Miffel? I think I saw one of them over there in the farmland."
There are ten Mephi'ers in the manor, and it's hard to tell which one is which.
Zhuang Buyuan originally didn't know whether the ten Mephi'er's were indistinguishable from each other, but now he knew that creatures like Mephi'er also had a body and a separate body.
In the farmland of the manor, groups of farmers are busy.
They sang songs, shouted slogans, and looked very happy. It was completely impossible to tell that they had lost their home.
Originally, the farmer's residence, Breakfast Town, was located within the blue stone leaf.
Unfortunately, Zhuang Buyuan could not bring the blue stone Ye Neixing back together. They had to leave the home they had just settled in. With Zhuang Buyuan coming to this strange 200 million years ago, everything started again.
Some people are busy in the manor, while most of the farmers have to go to Qiaotou Manor to cultivate the farmland of Qiaotou Manor.
But the farmers did not complain and were happy with the huge workload.
They are like weeds, always adapting to the circumstances. No matter where they are, they can cultivate a field and then feed themselves and others.
Like countless people in the state.
They seem to have a natural affinity with the land.
Seeing Zhuang Buyuan, they all saluted Zhuang Buyuan. When they heard Zhuang Buyuan's inquiry, they all pointed to the river in the distance.
Zhuang was not far away by the river, and he saw a figure.
Green braids waved in the air like rattan.
Beside her, squatting were several little tigers, who were very well-behaved. When they heard Zhuang's voice not far away, the little tigers turned around and immediately whined, shouting indistinctly: "Master of the village, Master of the village." host!"
Come and bite Zhuang Buyuan's trousers.
Zhuang Buyuan came to Mife'er's side: "What are you looking at?"
Mife'er doesn't like to talk, or in other words, can't talk.
She raised her head and pointed a braid in front of her.
Zhao Min, the "Arch Druid" of the manor, was squatting in a field, tending a yard of vegetables.
This is a very ordinary farmland.
Without using the blood of time, it was just ordinary, and its growth was not very satisfactory. Zhao Min did not use any special skills, just like an ordinary old farmer, using simple farm tools to loosen the soil and water.
This kind of simple action does not seem to go well with the identity of the Archdruid.
Many times, Zhao Min still likes to work in the fields simply like this. Whenever he has a problem that he cannot solve, or when he has something on his mind, he will come over.
It's like his own unique way of relaxing.
Zhuang Buyuan watched him tending the farmland, and his heart gradually relaxed.
It felt like watching Zhuang's father make wine and Zhuang's mother doing sewing work. It had a particularly relaxing feeling.
Zhao Min waited very seriously. After a long time, he straightened up and tapped his waist. It seemed that his waist couldn't bear it after leaning for a long time.
Only then did he see Zhuang Buyuan.
"Master? Are you back?" Zhao Min asked in surprise, "How long have you been watching? Why didn't you call me? What orders do you have from me?"
"No...what are you planting?"
"This is wheat." Zhao Min couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, "You are really indifferent to the four parts of the body and the five grains. How can you be a manor owner like this!"
Zhuang Buyuan touched his mouth embarrassedly. He had just looked over from a distance and thought they were stubbles of leeks. He planned to cut some leeks and let people make dumplings when he went back.
Speaking of which, I, as the owner of the manor, seem to be really incompetent... I have never farmed since I took over the manor.
"Is farming interesting? Why don't you let me try it?" Zhuang Buyuan asked, and then took a few steps forward.
"No, no, no, don't come here, I'm afraid you'll step on my wheat!" Zhao Min made no secret of his disgust.
"I'll just stand by and water the water." Zhuang Buyuan grabbed the kettle next to him.
Zhao Min felt that his beloved piece of land might really be destroyed in Zhuang Buyuan's hands.
He sighed and acquiesced to Zhuang Buyuan's approach. Watching Zhuang Buyuan water the water back and forth indiscriminately, he felt funny and helpless at the same time.
Zhuang Buyuan could probably kill dozens of factories with a wave of his hand, but when it came to watering... he was really impatient and unskilled.
But what can Zhao Min say?
Even the village owner started working in the fields.
But seeing this scene made him even more emotional.
"Actually, I was thinking just now..." Zhao Mindao said, "Did we domesticate wheat, or did wheat domesticate us?"
"Huh?" Zhuang Buyuan was confused.
"Human beings used to be hunters and gatherers who lived freely in forests and grasslands. Until one day, we discovered a plant whose seeds will not fall off after it is ripe."
"wheat?"
"Well... since then, wheat has become the most successful plant on the earth." Zhao Mindao, "They can enjoy the most fertile land. Some people deworm them, some people fertilize them, some people water them, and some people They store and transfer seeds, helping them to reproduce anywhere on the planet where they can be planted, and even places that are unsuitable for planting have been transformed into an environment suitable for them."
"But... what about people? What do people gain in this process?" The way Zhao Min was thinking about it made Zhuang Buyuan unable to remember what he looked like when he first met Zhao Min.
At that time, Zhao Min was just an ordinary frustrated passerby, struggling for food, rice, oil and salt, and living a very hard life.
At this time, Zhao Min was actually thinking about such a profound issue.
"Human beings originally moved freely, ran freely, and hunted freely. When they were hungry, there were wild beasts. When they were thirsty, there were mountain springs. If they wanted to improve their taste, there were all kinds of wild fruits. Countless surprises were waiting for them every day... "
"But wheat couldn't be taken away, so humans had to settle down since then."
"Human beings have finally evolved to be able to walk upright, but they stoop down and humbly sow, weed, and fertilize until their waists are tired and sick, and their whole bodies are sore."
"Human diets are becoming increasingly monotonous, and people's physical fitness is also declining, but wheat is multiplying one crop after another. Their plants are getting stronger, more productive, and more and more able to adapt to various environments... …”
"Just because it can provide humans with enough carbohydrates, allow humans to consume excessive amounts of sugar, and give humans a pleasant feeling of pleasure..." Zhao Min smiled, "Master, do you think it's like those people who get sugar from us?" And the guy who was spoiled by Fat Man’s Happy Water?”
Zhuang Buyuan wanted to say that this was different, but he felt that it was exactly the same.
The people in the manor laughed at those guys who were bribed with a piece of candy or a cup of Coke all day long, but they never thought that there was actually no difference between themselves and these guys?
"In this process, humans distort themselves and serve wheat. What is the difference between this and being domesticated?"
Zhuang Buyuan was speechless. Zhao Min's words were from an angle that he had never considered before.
"So...did we tame the wheat, or did the wheat tame us? What did we gain in the process?"
Zhuang Buyuan didn't know how to answer. He thought for a long time before saying: "But we are at the higher level of the food chain after all. Wheat is just our food."
"And we are just food for bacteria. If we die, we will be decomposed and eaten by various organisms. If we are buried in a wheat field and nourish the wheat field, do we count as food for the wheat?"
"So, the food chain doesn't represent anything... What's important is, who domesticated whom?"
Zhuang Buyuan was even more speechless.
"The manor owner has domesticated the entire universe, but they also have to worry about the balance in the universe and the reproduction and distribution of various creatures. So, who tamed whom? It was the manor owner who found a slave for himself. , or have you become a slave to various creatures?"
Zhao Min's words touched Zhuang Buyuan and made him think a lot.
He has a deeper understanding of domestication.
"Look at me, what are I nagging you about, the owner of the village? You have something to do with Miss Mifei'er, so I won't bother you." Zhao Min snatched the kettle from Zhuang Buyuan's hand and hurried away.
Zhuang Buyuan felt that Zhao Min might have been worried for a long time, and Zhuang Buyuan had watered all his wheat to death.
After Zhao Min left, Zhuang Buyuan looked at Mifei'er, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "I... met your sister."
Is this statement accurate?
Zhuang Buyuan doesn't know either.
But Zhuang Buyuan knew that the Mifei'er he saw was definitely not his own Mifei'er.
Since the two parties are not the same individual, but are of the same race, then they are...sisters.
Mifei'er tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Buyuan, then suddenly stretched out a tentacle and touched Zhuang Buyuan.
In an instant, Zhuang Buyuan felt a complex emotion being pulled out of his body.
Is this... the thought that Mife'er sent into her body?
Zhuang Buyuan couldn't understand this message. He didn't expect that Miffy'er could actually use other creatures to convey messages.
At the same time as he received that message, tears suddenly welled up in Mife'er's eyes.
She seemed to feel the pain coming from the big tree.
She stood there, the tentacles on her head drooped, her mouth pursed, as if she was desperately holding back something.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Zhuang Buyuan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what, and your sister... I will also find a way to rescue her."
Mifei'er hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly, slowly, she leaned her head on Zhuang Buyuan's chest.
"Cry if you want." Zhuang Buyuan said helplessly. Mifei'er's tears poured out of his eyes desperately, instantly making Zhuang Buyuan's chest wet.
Zhuang Buyuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the vine on Mife'er's head.
Each of her vines has its own unique effect. If you reach out and touch it, some will sting, and some will bring all kinds of extreme negative emotions.
But Zhuang Buyuan only felt one emotion at this moment.
pity.
Slowly, a wave of resentment towards the big tree arose again.
Why do you want to convey your emotions to my Mife'er!
She is still a child! A child who had just been born two years ago, her world was only as big as the manor, and she only had so many friends. Her world was originally so simple!
Now Zhuang Buyuan regretted that he came to Mifei'er and told her the news.
Because loneliness is better than pain!
"I will rescue her, I will rescue her." Zhuang Buyuan assured Mifei'er over and over again.
Mifei'er's emotions finally calmed down, and then she showed a slightly stiff smile to Zhuang Buyuan, and then with a whoosh, got into Zhuang Buyuan's backpack.
Is this... shy?
This was the first time Zhuang Buyuan saw Mifei'er who was shy.
Time passes day by day.
More than ten days later, Zhuang Buyuan, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up from the bed.
On the far side of the universe, his clones disguised as factory owners finally found the factory owner's ultimate weapon.
The time has come for the final showdown.
Zhuang Buyuan stood up, put on his backpack, buckled on his whip, and went out shouting: "Pippi Shrimp! Let's go!"
Eight big dogs ran over, barking and screaming.
The shadow chariot soared into the sky.
