Neighbors in forbidden land

"Why is it so troublesome to grow things..." Yimi complained to Wu Shao while sitting on a barely strong wooden box.

"That's the way it is. Why do you think planting things is a simple matter, Your Highness Yimi?" Although Wu Shao was talking to Yimi, his eyes were indeed on me, Xiao Gu and Lan Xue. body.

"Potatoes don't look too difficult." Yimi said while swinging her legs up and down, with a somewhat unhappy expression on her face.

"This is the advantage of potatoes, but other plants are different." Wu Shao put his left hand on his hip, with the word "helpless" written all over his face, "otherwise, farmers wouldn't have worked so hard, would they?"

"So it's useless to buy what I want?" Yimi asked unwillingly.

"Yes, and even if you buy it back, as far as I know, the planting environment you can provide, Your Highness Yimi, is very limited, right?"

"Uh..." Yimi was discouraged as if Wu Shao had hit the point, she drooped her head, and her long light orange hair fell loosely on her body.

"We will help." I hurriedly encouraged Yimi, after all, there are only so many things I can do.

"Yes, yes! Didn't we succeed?" Xiao Gu grabbed Yimi's arm and kept shaking it, but Yimi seemed to be frozen and let Xiao Gu shake her back and forth.

"I don't think you guys can help with these technical issues, little black sister." Wu Shao's words made me and Xiao Gu feel relieved.

"I also don't know where the two of you are so confident that you can help." Lan Xue added this sentence, which completely froze the smiles on our faces.

Next, Wu Shao began to confirm one by one with his fingers: "For now, we need land, stable climate conditions, and suitable light. These are the most basic. If we want to plant other Things need to be cultivated differently for different crops and provide a different environment..."

Wu Shao looked at Yimi, then at us, and continued, "Your Highness Yimi, are you planting them in caves and using other methods to provide light and heat?"

"yes……"

"That means you have to consider the issue of mixed planting... Oh, then a large number of crops will be excluded... Not everything can be planted in the same field as potatoes."

"Well……"

"All in all... if the conditions here are still so cloudy and uncertain, and we don't have a good countermeasure..." Wu Shao slowed down his speech, and his eyes turned around our faces, "His Royal Highness Yimi Most of the crops you need can’t be grown, and that has little to do with money.”

"..."

"And there is one more important thing."

"Is there anything else..." Yimi didn't seem to know what expression to put on to face Wu Shao, but she still tried her best to answer her words. "Well, that means I'm not a professional, even if there are special crops and special methods..." Wu Shao rubbed his short brown hair with his hands, "I don't know so much..."

After Wu Shao finished speaking, there was an indescribable atmosphere in the lounge.

Yimi clenched her hands slightly on her lap, lowered her head and said nothing.

The four of us looked at each other in blank dismay, all thinking about various things.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Yimi slowly raised her head, her tone full of unwillingness and firmness:

"I have to do anything."

We all looked at Yimi, although her eyes were closed, but I always felt that if she opened them, there must be a resolute light in those blue pupils.

"I said I wanted to make this place better than that one, because I found out."

Neither of us spoke, just listening to Yimi continue to talk.

"The environment here is indeed harsh, but in fact it's not insurmountable, it's just because no one dares to come here."

I lowered my head, although I have heard this sentence many times, but there is always a feeling that I cannot get used to.

After all, human beings dare not approach here, and the big reason is because of me.

"But it's different now. We're already here, so the disaster won't come here, right? So what we can do, I can't do it alone, we can do it together."

After a brief silence.

"I understand, as long as it is Yimi's request, I will carry it out."

The past can't be changed, but if I can follow Yimi's request and help Yimi survive and help change this land...

"Me too!" Xiao Gu raised his hand high, spitting out a small bubble.

"If I'm free, I'll help you." Lan Xue just folded her arms and said these words softly.

"Well... Anyway, I feel that from the moment I ate your highness Yimi's potato, I have nothing to do with these things... Transformation of forbidden places or something... Why did I participate in such an exaggerated event for no reason? It's in the plan..."

Wu Shao just smiled and shook his head, but he didn't refuse, "I'll do my best."

"Then let's work hard together." Yimi clenched her fist and put her other hand on my shoulder.

I just tilted my head, rested my head on the back of Yimi's hand, and smiled softly.

After all, this thing has been going on since the day we met.

————————————————————————————————————————

After that, according to Yimi's request, Wu Shao boarded the ship used by humans for material transportation and returned to the south to collect some "required" things, while we came to the test area to conduct various experiments. Prepare.

"It would be great if we could get two more little elves like this." Yimi sighed softly, with a sad expression on his face, "Sure enough, there won't be such a convenient thing in the world..." "Just do it Can't you just light it up?" Lan Xue, who was leaning against the cave wall, made this suggestion disdainfully, but was quickly dismissed by Yimi:

"No, we can't control the fire at all."

This is indeed the case. After all, besides the stable goblin, the only one who can make a fire here is Goo. The flame of Goo will only burn the planted things to ashes. On the other hand, according to Yimi, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's really troublesome enough... After Lan Xue said this, she just stared at the blue sky in the cave and didn't say anything more.

"Can it be planted on a boat?"

Depending on the living conditions required by these plants and the living conditions required by Yimi, Yimi has no way to survive directly on this land, and neither can these plants. Yimi can survive in caves, and these plants can also survive in caves , so Yimi can survive on that ship, and these plants should be able to do the same, right?

Ah... It seems that these plants need light to survive, and Yimi seems to be able to avoid the sun without being exposed to the sun...

Maybe this is the difference between humans and plants?

"On the boat, how do you plant it on the boat..." At first, Yimi still had a questioning tone, but the next moment her expression became serious, and she began to mutter, "on the boat...on the boat...wait, maybe You can give it a try..."

"What are you trying?" Guo asked curiously as he approached Yimi.

Yimi touched her head with her hand, and smiled softly: "Try to move the land here... back."

So, we started a relatively large action.

Because the land on the other side of the stronghold is a saline-alkali land, it cannot be used as a matter of course. We only need to move the soil back and forth back and forth to the boat on the other side of the stronghold.

According to Yimi's plan, the first thing is to ensure the water source, so Yimi directed Xiaogu and I to divide an area at the bottom of the cabin, put all the soil brought in there, and spread a thick layer back and forth. Layer, and then let Xiao Gu divert the source of fresh water to the surrounding of this piece of soil.

No matter whether it can be successful or not, you have to try it before you know. Yimi said so, so the next step is to ensure the light.

Then, according to Yimi's request, I cut several places on the wooden wall around the lowest floor of the cabin to ensure that at least the outside sunlight can shine in if there is light.

At the beginning, even though a hole was made in the wall, not much light came in. It was only later that Yimi realized that it was blocked by the huge stone used to fix the hull outside.

Therefore, these boulders should be moved away on sunny days. After all, as long as it is not raining, these boulders are not used to block the wind and rain and prevent shaking.

And that's all we can do.

After Spoon Dance came back, we also got some novelties.

"What is this?" I asked, pointing to the pile of tender white and green seedlings.

"Strawberry... seedlings." Wu Shao replied softly.

"Strawberry...can this work?" Yimi asked suspiciously. "I've thought a lot about the difficulty of planting... Sister Xiaogu, don't eat that!" Wu Shao immediately rushed towards Xiaogu after noticing something, and snatched a small bag from her hand .

"Eh? Can't you eat it?"

"This is a seed! It's also for planting."

"I saw that it was different from the one over there, so I thought this one could be eaten..."

"How can I explain to you, little sister, that some crops use seeds and others use seedlings..."

"Ancient loach, you really can eat anything..."

"I'm not a loach!"

Seeing Lan Xue and Xiao Gu wrestling together again, we continued our discussion here.

"Don't worry about them?" Wu Shao anxiously looked at Xiao Gu and Lan Xue who were rolling together.

"It's just for fun...they'll be fine in a while..." Yimi just shrugged helplessly.

"If they were really fighting, this ship would have been dismantled..." After all, Xiao Gu and Lan Xue are both top-notch monsters, and this ship was pushed back by Xiao Gu from afar.

"That's right...haha..." After hearing my explanation, Wu Shao smiled wryly twice, and finally took a look at Xiao Gu and Lan Xue who almost rolled into the sea along the imported ditch, and finally focused on On those seeds, "All in all, this is a relatively easy vegetable to grow... But it seems that Your Highness Yimi didn't clear up too much space..."

Wu Shao's eyes fell on the pile of soil that was sprayed by the sunlight from the entrance of the cave, showing a somewhat helpless expression: "It looks really crude..."

"What can I do...conditions are not allowed..."

"Does the light need to be ensured by punching holes in the wall..." Wu Shao covered his face with his hands, "What if it's windy and rainy..."

"Block it again." Yimi replied concisely.

Wu Shao looked at me and Xiao Gu and Lan Xue who were still wrestling with each other, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch: "This is really a method that only Your Highness Yimi can use...Compared to us, we are so miserable... ..."

"What's wrong with you?" I asked curiously.

"Don't talk about opening up wasteland like Your Highness Yimi and you... Every time it rains here, we have to strengthen the tent desperately. Although the tents are basically strong now... But in order to confirm the situation of the tents, we have to I can't go back to the boat to hide... I can only stay in the tent to suffer from the cold... I don't know if the tent can hold on..."

As a result, Wu Shao began to chant while talking, with a painful expression on his face.

"Is it so miserable..." Yimi asked in disbelief.

"Of course there is...Your Highness Yimi, you need to know that magic barriers are built by many people. The magic power of Li Le alone is not enough to guarantee the safety of the entire camp... ..." There is always a feeling that Wu Shao is about to cry...

"Speaking of which, I remember that the magic barriers in the whole country are maintained by changing people in turn, and a lot of magic props are used to maintain it... Some props seem to be as big as a house..." "That's right... Wu Shao sighed heavily as he spoke, and fell directly on the floor behind him, "Your Highness Yimi, you are all thinking about how to improve your life, and we are still trying to gain a firm foothold..."

"In the beginning... Isn't it all like this?" Yimi just replied softly.

After a brief silence, Wu Shao spoke: "Yes...Your Highness Yimi, when you first came here...it was very hard..."

Wu Shao's words didn't seem like doubts, but more like emotions.

"Of course Yimi has worked hard. I looked at her at the time—" "It's not particularly hard." But before I finished speaking, Yimi put her hand on my shoulder heavily and interrupted. take my word for it.

I turned my head to look at Yimi beside me, and found that she just shook her head slightly, showing a bright smile:

"After all, I have a gangster."

Seeing Yimi's smile, I feel that she seems very relaxed.

Although during that time, she didn't have an easy life at all.

Even with my help, I can tell that the environment here is not friendly to Yimi.

"That's right..." Wu Shao lying on the ground glanced at Yimi and me, without any expression, "So...Your Highness Yimi, you now—"

"I'm very happy." Yimi suddenly held me in her arms and said softly.

"Sure enough...it's not because of some political struggle..."

"What did you say?"

"No... nothing..."
