Chapter 491
“It’s true that a fierce dragon does not cross the river lightly p>
After hearing Qu Mengju’s words, Li Yuefeng couldn’t help but show a look of amazement.
He glanced at the torrential rain outside and said, “This Liang Yuan, he can actually fight Tu Long to a draw? I’m afraid Yangshan won’t be peaceful anymore p>
Qu Mengju looked at the heavy rain outside and frowned, “You mean this person might cause trouble p>
“Heh, when have you ever seen a newcomer establish themselves without being devoured p>
“Tian Wei from the mining area, Tu Long of Phoenix Temple, which of them is a good person p>
“Yangshan isn’t like those northern places with towering mountains. The highest point here is just over three hundred meters. Calling it a mountain is an overstatement; it’s just hills p>
“How many people can such a small place support p>
“If too many people come from outside, the resources here won’t be enough p>
“Just wait and see, Tian Wei and Tu Long will make their moves p>
“What about the Martial King Pavilion? Will they just watch?” Qu Mengju asked.
Li Yuefeng chuckled, “Wu Meng, despite his grand ambitions, is ultimately a proud person who looks down on ordinary superpower users p>
“He is absorbed in the development and excavation of superpowers and rarely gets involved in these outside intrigues p>
“But Zhuang Shuyuan is shrewd enough; she won’t sit idly by while these newcomers settle in p>
Qu Mengju was puzzled, “Why pay attention to these newcomers p>
Li Yuefeng smiled, “Because they have just climbed the mountain, they must have brought a lot of supplies p>
“Get ready for the sea tide. After this one passes, the Gouwu Pavilion trade fair should have a lot of good things p>
Qu Mengju seemed thoughtful and then smiled, “Fortunately, we have occupied Meihai Garden, and with Brother Feng’s foresight, we started breeding Fire Cloud Rabbits and Plum Blossom Pigs from the beginning p>
As she spoke, she moved closer, her legs already wrapped around Li Yuefeng’s waist.
Li Yuefeng chuckled softly and reached his hand into her clothes.
Qu Mengju’s breath quickened, and her eyes showed a seductive look.
Outside, Qin Xiaoyan witnessed everything and cursed, “Slut p>
As the sky darkened, households in the bamboo houses of the shelter by the fire reservoir were busy preparing dinner.
They couldn’t wait until it was completely dark to cook, because the bright firelight at night would attract flying insects.
Those who had the means did not use firewood but chose induction cookers instead.
Electricity was mainly supplied by batteries, and to charge the batteries, they turned to Xiaodongjie.
Xiaodongjie had now become quite popular in the shelter. Whenever someone’s battery ran out or their phone needed charging, they had to ask him for help.
Though Xiaodongjie didn’t charge much, the sheer number of people seeking his help every day made up for it.
Some paid with a fish, some with three bamboo shoots, and others with some wild vegetables.
By the end of the day, Dong Jie couldn’t eat everything he received and even stored a large amount of food to trade for snacks at Liang Yuan’s place.
Now, Dong Jie not only supported himself but also earned enough rations for his sister.
In the entire shelter, besides Liang Yuan, he was the wealthiest. Follow current nová´‡ls on
At Liang Yuan’s place, Song Wen, Granny Li, Ding Yan, Yang Shenmin, Zhao Kai, and others were present.
“You mean you plan to plant some of the mutated taro in the cave p>
Liang Yuan was a bit surprised. Could taro grow in a cave?
Song Wen said, “This mutated taro has strong life force and doesn’t require much light. It needs a dark, damp soil environment. We discussed it and thought that laying nutrient soil in the cave could meet its growth needs p>
“The key is that these taros grow quickly, maturing in one to two months, and each taro can produce four to five pounds, even the stems can be pickled into a good economic crop p>
“Another point is if they are planted in the cave, it can prevent them from being destroyed by mutant beasts or secretly stolen by people. And we won’t have to worry about the sea tide, with its many mutant beasts trampling our terrace fields p>
Liang Yuan laughed, “You heard about the feedback from the Martial King Pavilion’s terraced fields, right p>
Song Wen also laughed and nodded, “Yes, earlier we were too naive. We didn’t consider the problems with mutant beasts and seeds p>
“After the people from the Martial King Pavilion left, we conducted some experiments and made some surprising discoveries p>
“What discoveries?” Liang Yuan immediately asked.
“Granny Li, you tell him,” Song Wen looked at Granny Li.
Granny Li quickly said, “I transplanted some of the mutated taro into the cave, using the soil from the original taro field to recreate the environment as closely as possible p>
“For the light problem, I used Xiaosong’s mutated sunflowers as a light source p>
“Unexpectedly, by the afternoon, the transplanted taros not only survived but were thriving p>
“After discussing with Xiaosong, we believe the change was likely due to the mutated sunflowers p>
“The mutated sunflowers’ light seems to mimic sunlight, allowing these plants to photosynthesize p>
“We thought, if this solves the light problem, we could entirely grow them in the cave p>
“This way, we wouldn’t worry about mutant creatures trampling crops or theft p>
“And the unified management model means no exposure to weather, making management simpler p>
Liang Yuan, hearing this, couldn’t help but show excitement, “What? The mutated sunflowers have such a function p>
Song Wen also marveled, “Yes, the light from the mutated sunflowers can replace sunlight. I also found that the closer the plants were to the sunflowers, the better they grew p>
