Chapter 30: Searched
Xingnong kept walking inwards, found a place where there were no people, placed the back basket and other things on the ground, nimbly climbed up a big tree, sat down on a slightly thick branch, then took out the Golden Bead, and began to study it.
Very quickly, she found the method to use this Golden Bead.
As long as she thought about entering in her mind, or stared at the Golden Bead for one second, the Creation Space would appear, and she would be able to enter and control the things inside.
As long as she silently thought “roll,” the space would be put away.
Of course, without entering, she could also see and operate the things inside directly with her mind.
Xingnong suddenly saw gene fragments similar to strawberries flash by. With a thought, the Creation Platform lit up.
Then, under Xingnong’s memory and mental control, pieces of gene fragments flew into the light screen, completing the sequencing in the blink of an eye. A strawberry plant in a flower pot came to life, and bloomed, bore fruit, and ripened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bright red strawberries dotted among the green leaves and white flowers were extremely cute!
It was just that the strawberry fruits were very small, the largest was only the size of a thumb’s nail.
With a thought, Xingnong plucked one and put it in her mouth…
Her small face instantly wrinkled into a bun: Wow…, this is too sour!!!
Xingnong plucked another mustard leaf and tasted it directly. Bitter, bitter and astringent!
She recalled the genes of mustard and strawberries. They were different in many places from what she remembered in modern times, but generally the same, so she was able to piece them together.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something. Perhaps the genes of the plants in the flower pots were the most primitive, perhaps the genes of the first plant of this kind to appear in the world.
Because it had not gone through the process of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest, the strawberries were small and sour, and the mustard was also more bitter than modern ones.
Then, according to her memories of her past life, Xingnong arranged the original genes of rice, wheat, and corn.
She looked at the rice ears and wheat ears. The grains were few and not full enough.
Corn was the same, the corn was about the same, small in size, and not many corn kernels.
As expected, they were all in the most primitive wild state.
Xingnong’s gaze fell on the Creation Platform again. Since she could manipulate gene fragments, she should be able to improve them, right?
Thinking of this, she was a little excited. Even though her head was splitting and her temples were throbbing, she wanted to continue.
Xingnong rubbed her temples, wanting to improve the strawberries.
With a thought, the light of the Creation Platform brightened. In the light screen, according to her thoughts, the entire gene sequence of strawberries appeared.
She began to look for places that could be improved. This was too slow.
Time passed minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, Xingnong finally found a place that could be improved.
With a thought, she improved it according to the gene fragments in her modern memory.
At this time, a sharp pain suddenly came from her head, the light screen disappeared, and the Creation Platform dimmed.
The sharp pain disappeared, and she felt dizzy and exhausted.
She was too impatient.
Her mental strength was exhausted!
Xingnong leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes and rested, planning to recover a bit before going down the mountain.
At this time, a golden yellow parrot, larger in size, landed on the branch above Xingnong’s head.
Xingnong opened her eyes a crack and saw a golden yellow parrot with green feathers land on the branch above her head. She ignored it.
The parrot on the tree tilted its head and looked at Xingnong curiously.
Seeing that Xingnong didn’t move for a long time, it flew down and landed on Xingnong’s head.
Xingnong ignored it.
She didn’t plan to catch it.
It was just that…
Xingnong suddenly felt a warmth on her head.
“…”
A bad feeling arose in her heart!
Without even opening her eyes, she quickly reached out and grabbed two parrot claws.
The parrot, having done its dirty deed, was about to fly away, but unexpectedly it was caught. It flapped its wings vigorously.
✿✿✿
Xingnong opened her eyes and looked at it coldly: “Looking to die!”
The golden yellow parrot flapped its wings vigorously, shouting: “Looking to die, looking to die.”
Xingnong: “…”
“Get lost!” Xingnong let go and threw it into the air.
If it weren’t for the fact that its descendants were about to become extinct in the future, she would definitely roast it!
The parrot screamed, then flapped its wings a few times and flew up.
It landed on the branch above Xingnong’s head, shouting: “Get lost, get lost.”
Xingnong: “…”
Considering that its descendants were too few, she endured it!
With a pile of droppings on her head, Xingnong couldn’t rest even though she was still dizzy. She jumped down from the tree, carried the back basket on her back, picked up the net bag, and hurried towards the stream at the foot of the mountain.
Xingnong came to the river to wash the bird droppings from her head, but found a whole corn kernel on the droppings.
From the original owner’s memory, there was no such food as corn.
The parrot just now was a Sun Conure. It originally lived in tropical rainforests.
Could it be that it flew over from there, then ate corn somewhere and brought the seeds over?
Corn is a difficult food to digest. If swallowed whole, it will be excreted whole.
By the way, can parrots fly across the ocean?
Forget it, how it flew over has nothing to do with her, right?
Originally, she planned to take out the corn seeds in the Spirit Orb.
Now she didn’t even need to find an excuse!
Xingnong washed the corn seeds clean, then vigorously scrubbed her hair until her scalp was red and sore before she stopped.
But she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, always feeling that it wasn’t washed clean.
But it was getting late. To avoid Xingqing worrying, and without a hair towel to dry her hair, she could only tie her wet hair into a ponytail with a hair tie and hurry down the mountain.
Xingnong hadn’t returned home yet when she saw a crowd of people gathered in the alley from afar.
Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly ran over.
That speed was like a cheetah running in the mountains.
At the foot of the mountain,
The narrow alley was crowded with people.
Things from the house were thrown out: clothes, cloth, quilts, bowls and chopsticks, rice and flour, oil, salt, sugar, and soy sauce were all over the ground. The small alley was a mess.
The villagers were talking among themselves: “Isn’t this refined rice and white flour? I’ve only seen this refined rice at the grain shop. The Gu family is poor as can be, where did they get the silver to buy refined rice and white flour? They must have stolen the purse of the noble guest from the restaurant!”
“I can’t believe it, that bastard Shen Xingnong actually stole things!”
“Two eggs went missing from my house the other day. I suspect she stole them. Constable, you must help me get them back from their family!”
“Really? God, a thief like this is a scourge in the village! Get out, they must get out of the village!”
“That’s right, get out, Plum Blossom Village can’t have thieves.”
Several yamen runners searched through the things on the ground but couldn’t find the Golden Bead.
Li Yong, the yamen runner in charge, looked at Madam Li: “Old Madam, we haven’t found the Golden Bead you mentioned.”
Madam Li took out a cloth bag from the kitchen and poured the contents directly onto the ground.
Dried squid, dried shrimp, seaweed, and other things clattered and scattered all over the ground.
She pointed to the things on the ground and said: “Constable, my maid saw her steal the Golden Bead from the guest at Welcome Inn with her own eyes. Otherwise, look at her house. Her family is a down-and-out household. And look at these dried seafood, and refined rice and white flour? Where did her family get the silver to buy these things that only rich people can afford? These are all evidence, Your Excellency.”
