Chapter 155 Host, show mercy
Fang Meng finished his work in the field early and took some time to go into the mountains in the afternoon. When he came to find Bai Nuo, he brought a backpack. The backpack was woven tightly and covered with a pile of weeds. You couldn't see what was inside from the outside.
But Bai Nuo and Xiao Fuguier both smelled a faint scent of blood coming from it. At this moment, Xiao Fuguier was trying hard to pull at the backpack, but unfortunately the strap of the backpack was in Fang Meng's hand, so he couldn't pull it at all and kept crying anxiously.
Fugui had just started to cry when the foal not far away started to lower its head and rub its hooves. Judging from its posture, it seemed that it might charge over at any time.
Fang Meng quickly picked up the backpack and carried it on one shoulder.
"Wangcai, go find your father and don't make trouble here. You really can't beat him." Bai Nuo looked helplessly at the eager foal.
This little guy now maintains a fearless attitude towards any person or animal. In the morning, everyone was basking in the sun, but it was bored and ran to the next door to provoke the big yellow cattle. If it had not been discovered by Uncle Zhao, it would probably have been recuperating in the stable by now.
When Fang Meng heard Bai Nuo calling the little pony Wangcai, he felt a buzzing in his head. He raised his hand and put it on the little girl's head, rubbing it gently, and spoke with a serious tone.
"Niuniu, promise your second brother that if anyone in the family has a child in the future, the naming will be left to the elders. We don't have to worry about it, okay?"
"..."
Bai Nuo looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes eager to fight, as if he could jump up and beat the other person up in the next second. That look...cannot be said to be similar to that of a pony, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
Fang Meng now finally understood who the little pony named Wangcai inherited his bad temper from.
"Okay, go home after work. I'll deliver the things to the captain's house. When you get home, be good and don't run around. I'll make dinner."
“Chicken stewed with mushrooms!”
Speaking of eating, Bai Nuo coaxed himself into a trance in an instant. He grabbed Fang Meng's sleeves with both hands, stood on tiptoe, subconsciously leaned forward slightly, and looked at the other person with bright eyes.
"Did you get a pullet instead?"
Fang Meng knew that the breeding team had purchase quotas every month. When he first arrived, he came here often to exchange for eggs and meat. The girl is now an internal employee here, so it must be easier for her to exchange for a chicken or something.
"Well, I also bought three chicks and ducklings, and went to the back mountain to pick mushrooms this afternoon."
"Okay, then wait for me to go back and do it, you go home first."
Fang Meng nodded. If the little girl wanted to eat it, he had to make it for her, otherwise she would find ways to make trouble for him later.
After Fang Meng left, Bai Nuo also started to pack up. He led the foal that was taking a break at the door back to the stable and filled the stone trough with water. Then he took little Fugui and carried the small cage home.
I glanced at my watch and it was not even five o'clock yet. It was another day of leaving work early.
When is the most comfortable time at work? It must be when I leave work early. It’s hard to describe the comfortable feeling, but I just feel happy.
When she went home, she rarely went through the main gate of the educated youth compound, but always went back through the backyard gate of her own home.
After returning home, open the front and back doors and windows for ventilation.
Every morning, the small system would pull the curtains and let a human out to clean the room before the neighbors woke up. After all, as long as the host was not in danger, he would sleep soundly than anyone else and could not be woken up at all.
The cleaned garbage is poured into a wooden barrel, and Bai Nuo will go out to throw it away in the morning.
There is a special place for dumping garbage in the Qishui Brigade, right next to the public toilet. It is a small area surrounded by wooden fences and wooden boards, about half a person's height. Anyone who dumps garbage on the roadside will have their work points deducted if caught.
Bai Nuo doesn't have to worry about the hygiene of the house. After work every day, she just has to take care of the two small vegetable plots at the back.
Her vegetable garden is definitely the easiest to take care of. All you have to do is water it and occasionally fertilize it with some fertilizer made from wood ash.
Bai Nuo doesn't need to weed and catch insects herself. The dozens of boxes of weed killers and insect repellents in her space were all made by researchers in the agricultural department of the research institute in her previous life's base. Just one drop diluted in a bucket of water can not only prevent weeds from growing in the field, but also prevent insects. It is safe, reliable and non-toxic.
Because she grew up in the base research institute, the teachers who raised her were the heads of various project departments. The researchers below liked to give her a bunch of gifts whenever they came up with something. She used to think that they were useless except for gathering dust in the space (the space didn't gather dust), but she didn't expect that after being reborn, it would all become a blessing.
After using the weed killer and insect repellent, she took a special look at her vegetable garden. Seeing nothing unusual, she felt relieved.
Fortunately, the researchers at the base research institute where she grew up were all mentally normal, and the things they gave her were basically normal. For example, this weed killer and insect repellent, after being diluted and sprayed on the vegetable fields, did not cause the insects in the fields to mature quickly enough to help with weeding.
Unlike the researchers she knew outside whose mental states were worrying, they often went crazy and few of the things they researched were normal.
Bai Nuo stood in her backyard and looked at the vegetable patch that had begun to thrive. She felt happy because soon she would be able to eat the vegetables she had grown.
Suddenly I remembered that I went to Fang Meng's house yesterday. He also had a vegetable patch in his backyard, and there didn't seem to be a single weed in it. I guess that guy had a lot of good stuff in his hands.
After all, they even have gene repair fluid, so they should also have simple weed and insect repellent. In that case, she won't give it to him for now.
"Fugui'er, don't bully the little hen. It won't live long. Please make it happy in its last moments."
Bai Nuo turned around and saw little Fuguier sticking his little butt out and pouncing on the little hen. Helplessly, he took two steps forward and picked up the little guy.
"Be good and listen, and I'll leave the chicken liver and gizzards for you later."
"Ouch!"
"Okay, I'll give you a small piece of chicken breast. If you want anything else to eat tonight, just go back and tell 925. There's not much meat out there."
Bai Nuo picked up the little Fuguier and wiped his paws with the wet towel beside him, then threw him into the house: "Don't go into the backyard anymore, you'll get your paws covered in mud. Play inside obediently."
Seeing his owner blocking the back door, little Fugui had no choice but to turn around and go back to his nest to play with his little toys.
These small toys are dog toys that the system found from the space warehouse. After removing the trademarks, they were given to Xiao Fuguier. The little guy loved them very much.
Bai Nuo tidied up the backyard, then took out the bamboo cage he had woven a few days ago from the storage room and placed it on the small open space between the vegetable patch and the dry toilet in the backyard.
The small bamboo cage is a rectangular fence woven with bamboo strips, with a large lid on the top. It is just the size of the small open space and is specially used to raise chicks and ducklings. It is about one meter high and covered with a woven bamboo net. There is no need to worry about the chicks and ducklings growing up and flying out. It is also convenient to feed and clean them by just lifting the lid.
Bai Nuo also placed two sets of wooden troughs inside for them to drink water and eat food.
After everything was tidied, Bai Nuo put the chicks and ducklings he bought today in, and finally placed a small nest woven with straw in the corner. The little guys would probably squeeze in to sleep at night, where they would feel warm and safe.
"Host, don't we have a livestock farm in our space? Why are you still raising them alone in the backyard? You'll have to clean up after them, and there will definitely be poop everywhere!"
"...Let's not bring up this issue now, okay?" Bai Nuo had originally been looking at his new member happily, but upon hearing this, he rolled his eyes. "It's not often that the breeding team can get eggs. If I don't raise two chickens, I'll have to eat eggs in secret in the future. Even if I get tired of raising them one day, I can just eat them."
"...That's true!" The small system nodded in understanding.
In the mind of its ruthless host, there is no reason to be reluctant to eat the pet after raising it for a long time. For its host, food must be treated as food, and the host should not dream of treating it as a pet.
At that time, the only thing its host might consider is: is it better to steam it or braise it, and whether adding some peppercorns or chili peppers will make it more fragrant.
Bai Nuo put some coarse grain shells and water for the cubs to eat in the trough and then left it alone, turning around to catch the hen.
Holding a hen in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, he took a small stool and sat at the door of the backyard, pressing the hen on a wooden block and holding up the kitchen knife...
"Wait, host, show mercy?"
The small system quickly flew over and hugged its host's arm holding the kitchen knife, fearing that she would chop off the hen's head with a quick move.
"What are you doing? I want to have chicken and mushroom stew for dinner."
Bai Nuo looked at her own stupid system with dissatisfaction. How dare it stop her from eating delicious food!
"I didn't say you couldn't eat it, but I don't know how to kill a chicken like you do." The small system looked at its host helplessly and asked cautiously, "Host, you've never killed a chicken before? That's not right. You've killed everything in your past life, so how could you not know how to kill a chicken?"
“I have killed someone!”
Bai Nuo nodded honestly, put down the kitchen knife, glanced at the hen she was holding down, and said softly, "In my previous life, I only killed mutant chickens. When they stood up, they were taller than Fang Meng and I combined. I usually jumped up and chopped off the mutant chicken's head with one blow. But some mutant chickens have five or six heads, so I have to chop them off quickly. Otherwise, the thing's regeneration ability is too strong. If I chop one off, another will grow back. It's so annoying!"
This immediately silenced the system!
When it found its host in the apocalypse, the host no longer liked to go around killing zombies and mutant beasts. Most of the time, it would either find a place to stay and mess around, or go to other people's bases to see what was going on. Occasionally, it would make a fuss, causing chaos among the leaders of the other bases, and then take it to other places to continue making a fuss.
The main point is that I don’t want to live anymore, and I don’t want others to live too comfortably.
Moreover, at that time, whenever Bai Nuo went out, not to mention humans, even mutant beasts would hide and run away when they saw her. Only those brainless zombies dared to come up and fight her, so the small system had never seen a real mutant beast.
Now, after listening to my host’s description, I suddenly became curious!
"Host, those mutant beasts in the apocalypse, the arc of mutation... is it so large?"
