The next day, after breakfast, Naoki called the gophers and prepared to carve out a separate piece of land in the southeast corner of the pasture to plant sunflowers.
After eating the sandwich given by Naoki, the gopher felt full of strength.
Its eyes were full of perseverance. After Zhi Shu planned the area that needed to be cultivated, the gopher started moving.
It retracts its head into the ground and moves rapidly below with incredible movements.
Naoki was very interested in gophers plowing the ground, so he didn't go anywhere and just stood on the lawn to watch.
As the gophers passed by, lumps of earth bulged out on the originally flat land, like complete ridges.
The surrounding soil becomes softer, making it the most suitable field for farming.
Time passed by, and in about forty minutes, the field was completely plowed.
The gopher was so tired that he was sweating. He broke out of the ground and let out a breath of exhaustion, then showed an excited expression on his little face.
finished!
How is it? Not bad, right?
The gopher looked hopefully at his employer.
Seeing its appearance, Naoki couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you for your hard work, gopher. Here, this is an orange fruit. Eat one first and leave the rest to me!"
The gopher gladly accepted the fruit. He ran to the side and ate the fruit while watching the tree at work.
Planting sunflowers is different from planting wheat. Each sunflower must be separated by a longer distance, so that they can fully absorb the nutrients in the soil and grow up healthily.
After planting more land, Zhishu accumulated some experience.
He first judged the distance between each field ridge with his eyes, then dug up the soft soil with his palms, planted a sunflower seed, and repeated this process.
By the time everything was done, it was already half past ten in the morning.
The sun was shining brightly and the temperature in the air was getting hotter.
In this kind of weather, crops on the ground can easily dry up and lack water.
Naoki called Kuailong and asked him to send rain to nourish the fields so that the sunflowers could grow healthily.
Kuailong used Pray for Rain.
After a while, a light rain began to fall from the sky.
The gopher on the side was stunned.
It looked at the sky and then at the field, with confusion written all over its furry little face.
It's raining? Why is it raining only in that area?
Zhi Shu retreated to the gopher and looked at Kuai Long calling the wind and rain.
He noticed the gopher's appearance and immediately explained to it: "This is a water-type move called Rain Prayer. After using it, it will start to rain."
"Zhizhi." The gopher nodded blankly.
Then, as if it suddenly remembered something, it barked at Naoki, turned around and led the way.
"What's wrong?" Naoki raised his eyebrows in surprise, then raised his feet and followed.
Soon, he was led by the gopher to a wheat field where golden wheat grew.
These wheats are reserved by Naoshu for making malt and brewing beer together with hops and other materials.
The gopher ran to the side of the wheat field and stopped. Only then did Zhi Shu notice that there was a small hole in the grass.
The gopher got into the hole and poked his head out: "Squeak!"
Seeing this, Naoki immediately went back to the house, took out a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.
"Say it again."
Although the gopher was puzzled, he said it again: "Squeak, squeak, squeak!" (You can... call me... from here... I hear... come out!)
Zhi Shu understood. The gopher was letting him call it from the hole in the future, and it would hear it and then run out of the ground.
"I know." He nodded.
"Squeak~" the gopher barked twice more, and then shrank into the hole.
The weather is too hot, and if it stays outside for a long time, its body will become weaker and weaker due to the sun.
"Then you go back first!" Naoki expressed his understanding.
Then, he went to the utility room, used the wooden boards, nails and hammers piled in the corner to create a small wooden sign, and wrote the words "Gopher House" on it with a pen, and finally inserted the wooden sign into the hole. next to.
Looking at this scene, Naoki patted the dust on his hands with satisfaction.
The farm work in the fields was almost busy today, and the weather was very hot. He didn't want to stay outside, so he simply went back inside to watch TV and blow on the air conditioner.
Pokémon such as Kuailau, Motorized Lizard, and Gulton are afraid of cold but not hot. The hot weather has no effect on them. They are still running around on the grass outside, chasing each other and playing with each other.
The mount goat and Olinio stayed in the fence, and there was a shelter above, so they didn't feel hot for a while.
Moreover, sufficient sunlight is conducive to photosynthesis of grass-type Pokémon and helps them grow.
Frost Milk Fairy followed the five Salt Stone Barriers and ran to a cool underground cave to escape the heat, not forgetting to bring Ice Eevee with her.
Therefore, Naoki was the only one left in the room.
He was blowing on the air conditioner, eating watermelon, leaning on the chair and watching the Pokémon movie on the TV. He was happy and relaxed for a while.
But soon, this leisure was broken.
Kuailong whined and ran in from the outside, holding a wilted watermelon rind and looking at Naoki aggrievedly.
At first, Zhi Shu was confused, but when he saw the rotten watermelon rind in Kuailong's hand, he was speechless.
"I thought something terrible had happened. This thing is bound to break."
Kuailong opened his eyes wide: "Ooooo!"
Naoki lay back on the chair: "Don't worry, I will order a plastic watermelon helmet for you from the Internet later."
However, after saying this, he realized that there seemed to be no such thing as online shopping in this world.
Naoki couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I'll take you to the toy store in town in the evening to see if they sell watermelon helmets."
Only then did Kuailong feel satisfied: "Ouch~"
Looking at its expression, Naoki added: "However, I'm not sure if it can still help you if you replace it with a plastic watermelon helmet."
After all, the description of the dish was: a helmet prop made of watermelon, not a watermelon-shaped helmet prop. There is still a big difference between the two.
"Ouch?" Kuailong was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do for a moment.
It looked down at the rotten watermelon rind on its paws, then at Naoki, and after thinking about it carefully, it said: "Ouch..."
Forget it, anyway, it has been living in the pasture, and usually does not need to fight, so it is useless to have this helmet.
"Really?" Naoki raised his eyebrows.
Kuailong nodded seriously and explained the reason to Naoki.
"Okay." Naoki thought about the pile of unharvested crops in the field, among which there might be mutant crops that could help Pokémon become stronger.
He said to Kuailong: "But maybe I will be able to find other ways to help you become stronger soon."
Zhi Shu originally said it casually to comfort Kuailong, but he never expected that the next morning, mutated crops would actually appear in the fields.
