Chapter 206 Maple Forest and Moat
On the outskirts of the manor, at the edge of the newly dug artificial river, drops of blood of time poured down from Zhao Min's hands.
Every drop of blood of time creates a string of silver ripples in the artificial river. The silver light spreads and oscillates in the river like electric waves, gradually spreading to the entire river and melting into the water.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred drops of blood of time were completely poured out. There was no wind, but there were waves on the artificial river. In the river water, silver light shone like a flowing river of mercury.
Zhuang Buyuan looked down at the rushing river, and felt like he was looking down at the long river of time.
The power of the blood of time penetrated to both sides of the river, and the two banks seemed to begin to glow with silver light.
The big cow lay down by the river, stretched out the cane of its roots into the river, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly spurted it out again. Its cane changed several colors in an instant, as if it had experienced a sudden change. After spring, summer, autumn and winter, they withered.
Da Niu whined, ran to Zhuang Buyuan, and licked his face for comfort.
After licking it for a few times, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I lifted up the withered cane and looked at it. A touch of green appeared on the cane. It immediately licked Zhuang Buyuan happily a few more times. The cane seemed to have come back to life, and the whole body was full of energy. It turns green, and then changes from green to grayish yellow. This is the normal color of root rattan.
Great, the root system has returned to normal, I want to lick the owner's face a few more times to calm the shock!
Another round of licking without shame or shame.
"I'll go, you're so domineering! Just soak the little bit in the river for a few minutes, fish it out and you can get married!" Zhuang Buyuan exclaimed.
A hundred drops of time blood are actually less than ten milliliters. When diluted in such a large river, the effect is so overbearing.
Even though he is a die-hard loyalist, Liu Jinge next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhuang Buyuan, "Do you have any bad intentions towards my little one?" Why are you so eager to let her grow up?
But this reminded Liu Jinge that he must be careful about Xiaodian and not let her play in the water.
Zhao Min originally planned to reach out and touch the river water, but when he saw Daniel's miserable state, he quickly withdrew his hand.
"Wait..." Zhuang Buyuan suddenly felt a little strange, "If this is the case, why is my face okay?"
Zhuang Buyuan was very puzzled. The blood of time sprayed on his face was far more than ten milliliters, it was probably several liters, but he was okay?
Moreover, that is pure juice with 100% purity... No, pure time blood!
"Is it really because I'm too thick-skinned?" Zhao Min muttered beside him.
Zhuang Buyuan:...
Although I am a kind owner, if I hear you telling the truth like this next time, I will punish you, believe it or not?
"Perhaps we are all protected by manor ID cards, so we are immune to a certain extent?" Liu Jinge speculated.
Nong Lixin was very experimental. He carefully took a little bit with a dropper. He looked around and saw Gangbao hiding in the shadows holding an ice cube in the distance. He waved and called Gangbao. Come over: "Gabao, reach out."
Gangbao stretched out his chubby hand in confusion, and Nong Lixin tapped the straw on Gangbao's arm.
Gangbao saw that his skin turned ice blue, then turned blue-gray, and finally turned into dead gray, as if he had been burned by cigarettes.
"Shhhhhhh..." Gangbao felt the pain and quickly put his arm on the ice, blowing loudly and glaring at Nong Lixin while blowing back.
"It's not because of the manor identity card..." Nong Lixin said, "This concentration of blood of time already has great side effects on living things. If it weren't for the manor card of the manor owner having other effects, it would be because of the manor owner. …”
Too thick-skinned?
Is it really because I am too thick-skinned?
Zhuang Buyuan pretended not to know what these people were thinking. Now that the manor is employing people, you can't kick them all into the river.
And he has a deeper understanding of the power of the river in front of him. No wonder the mixed woods are used as defense facilities outside the manor. In fact, there are no plants that sound scary. This river alone has terrifying defenses. ability.
After seeing its power, everyone subconsciously took several steps back and stayed away from the river.
Fortunately, the manor has its own laws, and the power of the blood of time has not spread to other places along the river, but is limited to this forest.
At present, it seems that a trace amount of time blood with extremely low concentration is harmless to living things and even has certain benefits. As the saying goes, time is the best medicine and time can heal everything.
But beyond a certain concentration, it becomes very scary.
No wonder all kinds of magical creatures have evolved in the jungle. Under the influence of this concentration of time blood, time is extremely accelerated, and only some plants with extremely long lifespans can survive in such a place.
Zhao Min and Nong Lixin carefully inserted the two sugar maple saplings into the ground.
Sugar maple trees are dioecious plants. The two sugar maple trees, male and female, are about forty meters apart.
There was no need for them to water at all. The river water gradually penetrated into the soil. The branches of the sugar maples immediately began to grow, taking root and sprouting, and sprouting branches and leaves. After a few minutes, their leaves turned red like a flame, and then The red leaves fall and the branches become empty.
After a few more minutes, it was another reincarnation, and the tender buds stretched out again, and the buds turned into leaves, like palms stretching out against the wind, and then the palms turned red...
At this time, the two sugar maple trees have grown to seven or eight meters high, becoming two big trees.
When the third cycle begins, two trees bloom.
The small, tender yellow-green flowers bear samaras that look like butterflies. Each samara has a pair of wings. At first, the small wings are pink, which is particularly cute. After a few seconds, it hardens, turns yellow, and finally completely hardens, taking on a slightly spiral shape.
A gust of wind blew, and the samaras rotated and danced in the air, scattering in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it was another reincarnation, and several tender new shoots grew on the ground.
The buds grow up after several reincarnations, some slowly wither, some survive tenaciously, grow up again and become adult maple trees, then bloom, bear fruit, and multiply...
A gust of wind is like a reincarnation, and in the blink of an eye, a year is like spring and autumn.
Gradually, the two sugar maple trees have multiplied into a whole forest. The forest continues to spread along the river, one hundred meters, two hundred meters...
The first two maple trees planted have always been the tallest. They stand out like a flock of chickens and grow in the forest of mixed trees, facing the sun. The maple trees around them do not grow well because they are blocked from the sun, and the maple trees further away do not grow well. , because the space is wider, a few maple trees suddenly emerged and became the overlords nearby, competing for more sunshine.
However, sometimes being too conspicuous is not a good thing. Zhuang Buyuan selected one and commanded the bull: "Chop that one back!"
Da Niu untied the blade on his head, gently passed over the big maple tree that was as thick as an arm, and then stretched out a few vines to pull the big maple tree out of the woods.
Zhuang Buyuan directed Da Niu to cut off the bark and sapwood, take out the heartwood, and then split it vertically.
On the cross section, the texture pattern is clear and even, as if painted on it, which is particularly beautiful.
