Chapter 139 I Planted a Seed
On the third day after moving, in the afternoon, it was cloudy and overcast.
Before the rain, Huang Musong took Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas to the orchard to dig holes and plant seeds together...
To provide the doro fans with a high-quality living environment, Huang Musong made an expedited payment to the furniture store the day before yesterday, and yesterday hired technicians to install air conditioning in the living room and two bedrooms of the new residence.
In summer, when temperatures are high, air conditioning is a necessity.
Buying a Level 1 energy-efficient model is the top choice!
Based on suburban electricity rates, an air conditioner with a Level 1 energy efficiency rating costs only twenty yuan to run all day.
With the addition of an electric fan and the air conditioner turned on and off intermittently, the monthly electricity bill is only around 200 yuan.
After all, the Doro don't stay at home all the time, do they?
I go out during the day and return home in the evening.
Paying 200 yuan a month for electricity is more than enough!
As for the bed, it has been ordered, but delivery will take a few more days.
The custom-made 3m x 3m extended giant bed is big enough to fit three doro, including Huang Musong himself.
After finishing the furniture buying...
It's time to put the main storyline on the agenda.
now
Located in the very center of the orchard, Huang Musong was sweating profusely, shirtless, shoveling soil with a shovel.
Undeveloped farmland is too difficult to manage!
Without watering, it's impossible to shovel it; no matter how much force you use, it's useless.
After two hours, we finally dug a hole for the tree, big enough to put the flowerpot in.
The fruit tree seeds are precious, coming from another world, and must be cultivated in advance.
With the careful nurturing of Dorothy and Doraemon, the seed sprouted and grew into a sapling half a meter tall. Thanks to the Howling Whale watering can that increased the growth rate of the fruit tree, it would have taken at least six months to cultivate the tree.
Donas has a rather impatient temperament.
It longs to see the sapling grow and bear fruit the moment it closes and opens its eyes.
"Heave-ho!"
Before Huang Musong could give any instructions, Donas assumed a horse stance and began pushing flowerpots into the pit.
Seeing this, Dorothy quickly stepped forward to block the way, reminding them, "No~, you need to lay the biodegradable protective netting in first. Otherwise, the saplings' roots are soft, and they'll die if the bamboo rats and moles eat them."
He explained while shaking his finger.
Dorothy looks incredibly cute when she's talking seriously.
"Who died?" Upon hearing this, Donas put down the flowerpot and observed the surrounding fields.
I didn't see any mice nearby...
Oh.
It was probably scared by the sound of someone digging with a shovel and hid in the hole!
Clearly, Donas misunderstood, thinking the other person was referring to the death of moles and bamboo rats.
Upon hearing the topic of moles, Doraemon perked up his ears and frowned slightly.
It then remembered how Dorothy had cruelly killed a mole.
Although he has forgiven Dorothy,
Doraemon was still very worried.
What to do with the remaining moles in the orchard and fields?
If the rodents are not eradicated, the saplings will be in danger of dying.
Killing mice in seconds is too cruel; they are living, breathing animals too.
Uh ~
That's right!
Doro suddenly had a good idea. He quickly shook off the mud from his paws and rushed towards Donas: "You talk to the mice. Reason with them and get them to leave the orchard on their own. If they don't want to move, at least don't damage the fruit trees we planted."
With a smirk and a hearty laugh, Doraemon pulled an orange from his small backpack.
A fresh Oolong!
It intends to use this as a reward and asks Donas for help.
After working for several hours, Donas was already starving, but she was enduring it because it wasn't mealtime yet.
I discovered that Orunji is edible.
Donas opened her mouth wide, waiting for the other party to feed her.
Your own paws are dirty, but Doraemon's hands are clean.
There were no places to wash hands nearby, so waiting to be fed was the only option.
Doro carefully peeled the orange peel, stuffed the whole round Orunji into Donas's mouth, and collected fresh orange peels to make dried tangerine peel.
"Gurgle"...
They deliberately smack their lips to amplify the chewing sounds.
Donas is craving Dorothy.
"Tsk~"
Dorothy quickly moved away, pretending not to hear anything, and went to help others with their work.
You big idiot!
Eat a whole Oorunji now, and when you're done with your work and go out to eat, see if you still have the appetite to enjoy your meal.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Dorothy muttered to herself, turning her back on him and ignoring Donas.
After finishing the orange, Donas stood tall and proud, looking quite pleased with herself.
It's not just about being full.
And he even managed to make Dorothy drool.
Double the inner satisfaction!
After swallowing the last bit of juice, Donas began her search for mouse holes around the orchard.
Bamboo rats or moles are different from ordinary rats.
Rats are filthy, they're decomposers, they eat everything.
Bamboo rats feed on plant roots and stems; moles' diet consists of half tree roots and half pests.
Regardless of the type,
Everything has its good and bad aspects.
Donas plans to communicate politely with the mice first.
"squeak!"
Upon finding the first mouse burrow, Donas lay down and called out from the entrance.
"squeak!"
A few squeaking sounds came from inside the cave.
After several rounds of communication, Donas stood up, looking displeased.
Hands on hips
It adopted a posture as if it was about to resort to force.
Her face flushed with anger, but Donas, out of respect for Doro, decided to temporarily refrain from arguing with the bamboo rats.
Go talk to the mole again...
"squeak!"
Lying down outside the second cave, Donas's tone was slightly harsher, carrying a hint of threat.
The result was exactly the same as before.
"squeak!"
After hearing the moles' rude reply, it stomped its feet in anger, stomping hard on the top of the burrow.
One stomp isn't enough to deflate the air.
Donas immediately trampled the mole burrow flat.
The attacked mole family howled and scurried out of their burrow, scattering in all directions to escape...
Doro didn't understand mouse language and didn't understand why Donas was angry. What he saw was that the mice were very pitiful.
He moved closer.
Gently pat Donas's back to calm her down.
Doro asked, "What's wrong? Don't bully the mice, they are very well-behaved children."
"Good boy? You've been tricked!" Donas picked up a small stone, aimed at the largest mole, and threw it.
"Snap"
The stone missed.
Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Donas put her paws on her hips and said angrily, "I kindly advised them to move, and they could have disagreed, but instead they threatened me! Those moles said, 'Once we leave, they'll eat the tree roots!'"
"Let me teach you the original words."
"Dorakaya, listen up..."
After finishing her speech, Donas took a deep breath and began to imitate the mole's attitude and repeat her words.
"A bunch of worthless idiots, do they really think they're something special?"
"Think you're so capable, huh? Why don't you just kill us?"
"When you're not in the orchard, right? See how we kill that sapling. Hehehe..."
Absolutely no embellishment whatsoever.
Donas parroted the moles' words in detail.
Even though Doraemon was kind and good-tempered, he couldn't help but feel a chill after hearing all this.
Realizing she had a chance to clear her name, Dorothy opportunely pressed closer, adding fuel to the fire: "Today they dare to boast about harming the fruit trees, tomorrow they'll dare to bite people when no one's looking. Don't forget, if someone hadn't helped Sister Su in time, she would have definitely tripped over the moles and fallen on her bottom."
Doraemon was already unhappy.
A few words, whispered in its ear, and it became utterly enraged.
"Hmph!"
Scanning the nearby mouse holes one by one, Doro's gaze was unusually sharp, revealing his dislike for the mice.
But it only applies to anger.
Soon, Doraemon's spirits waned, and he said helplessly, "What can we do? We're going on a trip early tomorrow morning, and we're too busy to manage on our own. We need to sleep and rest at night. What if those naughty mice take advantage of the darkness..."
"Let the Palm Beasts manage it for us!" Dorothy suggested.
Palm-shaped animals are well-suited to the wild; they prefer living in fields to in flowerpots.
But can it handle all that?
"Protecting a few fruit trees shouldn't be a problem, right? But when it comes to planting other fruit trees, with hundreds or even thousands of saplings, there's bound to be some that are overlooked," Donas worried for Doraemon.
Dorothy exclaimed in surprise, teasing, "You've learned to use idioms? 'Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw,' did you learn that from college students?"
"Mind your own business!" Donas retorted arrogantly.
It didn't believe Dorothy would sincerely praise herself.
This guy is definitely being sarcastic.
Having her little trick exposed, Dorothy stopped fooling around and immediately became serious: "Planting the rest of the saplings is something for later, no rush. Let the palm beast help deal with the bad rats first, and we'll take advantage of this trip to find some helpers to take care of them."
"Mice are afraid of cats!"
"I know a white cat who likes to box, and she uses the naughty mouse as a punching bag."
Dorothy's words stirred up Doro's memories...
Thinking about it carefully,
Doro raised its paw and answered quickly, "I also know a good friend! Although it can't catch mice, it's still a cat, so it should be able to help."
"That's right~."
"It has similar habits to Sister Su, both of them like to eat desserts, and it can keep Sister Su company."
Arwen will not remain in the real world for long.
After resting enough in the real world, return to the other world to hunt dragons, and bring Donas along again.
Without Alvin's company, Doro thought that Sister Su might be lonely.
and so!
We should find her a partner who will stay by her side all the time.
I just wonder if that feline friend would be willing to come to the real world...
Doraemon tried to use his brain to think.
It buried itself in thinking about how to bring in its feline friends.
