After Lin Yan and the others left, busy sowing began in Sun City. In the new year, the land thawed and everything revived. It was a good time for plowing and sowing.
Without anyone urging, every household understood the importance of farming and devoted themselves to the fields.
Last year, the number of cows in the city increased by five, and the lambs also grew stronger and there were a lot of them.
Some people came up with the strange idea that grown-up sheep looked no weaker than cattle, so they carried iron plows and put reins on their own sheep to go to the ground.
One family started it, and after it was proven that it was feasible, the families with sheep were inspired and could no longer sit still. They all drove their sheep to pull the plow to work.
Huahong was walking on the edge of the field and saw white and black sheep pulling plows. They were not much slower than cows and could turn the soil just as well. He said to Jinzi enviously: "It would be great if our family had a sheep. Who came up with this good idea? Sheep can work just like cows."
"The Huoyan family was the first to use sheep to pull the plow, and everyone else followed suit." Jin Zai had already inquired, "The price of sheep in the city has increased. It used to cost 1 dime, but now it costs 1 dime and 2 cents." .”
"It's increased by two cents. This is only the first day. Will it be more expensive tomorrow? Do you want our family to buy a lamb?" Hua Hong was a little anxious. If it delays for a few days, it will become more expensive.
Jin Zai was not in a hurry, "If you buy a lamb, someone will feed it twice a day, cut the grass and herd the sheep. We don't have that many people in our family."
Hua Hong thought the same thing, "You're right, it's easy to buy sheep, but it's difficult to raise them. Forget it, I won't buy them."
After seeing the effect of sheep pulling the plow, many people were moved, and the sheep were priced at a price a day.
Compared with the scarcity of cattle, sheep reproduce quickly. All families who could afford it raised sheep in order to facilitate farming and save money on having people plow the land.
For a time, there was a sheep-raising trend in Sun City.
With sheep, more land can be cultivated. Immediately afterwards, more people joined the army of land reclamation.
Compared with the bustling busyness in Sun City, Lin Yan and his group were afraid to show off their composure at this moment.
Ten days have passed since they came out, but they are still in the Pika Field. There are dense forests and thick grass, and there is no gap for people to walk through.
It had been several years since he had walked in such a dense forest. Lin Yan was a little uncomfortable at first. The linen clothes on his body were full of cuts all day long.
Seeing this situation, Blue Star rearranged the team, with three people leading the way, ten people on guard, and the remaining people took the opportunity to look for new species.
There is no destination on this trip, and there is no rush for time. The team moves forward very slowly.
Lin Yan has gained a lot. From the time he came out to now, the science and technology museum has collected more than 80 new plants, and the contribution value has increased by more than 500.
Huang Ying was also very satisfied. She discovered several new herbs and collected herbs with her companions to make specimens. She wrote and drew in her notebook and recorded a lot.
When walking and walking, when they encounter a big tree, Lin Yan and Lan Yue will climb up to observe the surrounding terrain and draw what they see.
However, on the tenth day, their luck seemed to have run out, and they ran into two huge apes, which were three meters tall, strong and covered with brown hair.
The two apes suddenly appeared in front of them. No one noticed them. When they saw them, they were already three meters in front of them.
The sudden change shocked everyone, and then there was a confrontation between the two sides. Everyone did not dare to move, staring at the apes with big eyes and small eyes.
Lin Yan swallowed nervously, thinking that these two big guys were not easy to mess with at first glance. They are huge and agile, and their eyes are full of curiosity.
At the first moment they met, everyone raised their crossbows, and several people immediately shot the arrows. However, the apes' limbs were extremely flexible, and while dodging, they caught the arrows with their bare hands.
They brought the best crossbows with them on this trip, which were fast and destructive, but they were of no use against apes.
The ape picked up the arrow and looked at it curiously, then threw it at them, causing a sound to break through the air. The person standing at the front did not escape, barely avoiding the vital part, and was pierced in the thigh by the arrow.
At that moment, everyone felt it was finished.
Everyone stopped subconsciously and did not dare to act rashly.
The apes did not rush over and looked at them curiously.
Then, someone couldn't stand it anymore and moved a little bit, and the ape immediately looked over.
The silence was stagnant, and the sounds of insects and birds around him seemed to have disappeared. Lin Yan had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so he had to outsmart him.
She discovered that the apes had no ill intentions towards them, but were simply curious. It's like discovering something interesting and imitating people's actions.
The lack of murderous intent is a blessing in misfortune. The most fearful thing is that they suddenly become ferocious.
Thinking out of desperation, Lin Yan slowly stretched out his hand and took out a steamed bun from the bag he was carrying. Although her movements were slight, she still attracted the ape's attention.
Then, under the anxious and puzzled eyes of everyone, Lin Yan slowly walked to the front and faced the apes head-on.
Lan Xing was right in front. When he saw Lin Yan coming, he hurriedly said, "What are you doing here? Get back quickly."
When Blue Star spoke, the mouth of the ape opposite opened and closed, making a strange sound, like a roar, with an intonation.
Lin Yan looked at them in surprise. Are they learning to speak?
Blue Star didn't dare to speak again, for fear of angering the apes, and the consequences would be even more unpredictable.
Lin Yan ignored Lan Xing, raised the steamed bun in his hand and handed it to the ape.
After waiting, the ape came over, took the steamed bun from Lin Yan's hand, squeezed it with his paws, and it immediately turned into crumbs.
They looked at Lin Yan, wondering what this little man wanted to do.
Lin Yan was speechless. She just wanted to share delicious food with them. Who knew that the apes couldn't control their strength and turned into scum in an instant.
After smiling, Lin Yan took out another steamed bun and broke it in half. She stuffed a small half of the bun into her mouth, chewed it, and handed out the remaining half.
One of the great apes looked at Lin Yan and took the steamed bun. This time it learned to control it and the steamed bun did not break. Following Lin Yan's example, it stuffed the steamed bun into its big mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it. .
Then, the two great apes stretched out their upper limbs, signaling Lin Yan to take them out again.
There were five steamed buns in the cloth bag, which were dry food that Lin Yan brought with him. She did not hesitate and took out two more.
The ape took the steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating.
After eating, he looked at the cloth bag straddling Lin Yan's side. Lin Yan was too short. The ape might have felt uncomfortable looking down at her, so he stretched out his strong left upper limb and lifted her up to be level with him.
Seeing this scene, the others took a deep breath, but could do nothing.
Lan Xing drew his knife and was about to chop, and shouted anxiously: "Lin Yan, look for an opportunity to run away."
Lin Yan suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted quickly: "Don't move, just listen to me."
Lan Yue hesitated for a moment, then slowly put down the sword in his hand, and the others also stopped.
