Chapter 197 Tit for tat

Qiao Xi didn't say the rest of the words, but the vague look she cast at the two of them fully expressed her meaning.

"Yes, we know each other. We have known each other for many years, Oswin, right?" Askan said in a gentle and familiar tone.

Oswin suppressed his displeasure and nodded: "Yes, we know each other. We are both from the First Legion."

"It was in the past." Askan emphasized.

Oswin's expression changed and he looked at him coldly.

If he hadn't instigated those disabled soldiers to retire, the First Legion would have fallen apart.

Askan had a smile on his face, but the look he gave Oswin was extremely cold.

Simply trying to smooth things over will not make the situation better. It will only make a few people suffer more.

How can these high-ranking managers understand the hard work of the grassroots soldiers?

Qiao Xi looked at the eye contact between the two and couldn't help but regret it. Why did he say so much? The strong smell of gunpowder seemed to be burning.

"Ah, Askan, you came at the right time. The pink pelican's egg happened to ring twice today, and I just happened to leave you a message. I wanted to ask you what's going on." Josh's mind turned quickly, and he remembered the big egg at home and quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah, I saw your message, and I just happened to be passing by."

"It's nothing. It should be about to hatch. It has started to peck at the shell tentatively. The eggshell of the pink pelican is very thick, so it will take some time for it to hatch. Don't worry."

"So do you want to take the pink-feathered pelican to see the baby eggs? We can go later." Josh looked at Oswin.

Oswin nodded slightly. He wanted to see whether Askan really wanted to see the eggs or had other intentions.

The two of them were finally no longer hostile to each other like before, and the atmosphere became a little better. Josh was also relieved.

Turning around and walking towards the farm, the two men didn't talk much. Josh could only rack her brains to find some dry words to say, "Damn it! Damn it! She was so miserable."

When they arrived at the farm cottage, Josh first took Askan to the kitchen. After a rough look, he found the exact spot where the little pelican in the shell had pecked just now and knocked on it.

Miraculously, the little guy inside actually responded to him twice.

"Wow, that's amazing. It didn't respond to anything I did just now." Josh exclaimed.

"It's simple, just try it." He directed Josh to knock on the same spot, and the little pelican responded to the knocking sound again.

He raised his eyes to look at Oswin who had a cold expression on his face. The eggshell of the pink-feathered pelican was thick, so if you knocked on other places, the little creature inside might not be able to sense it. Only by knocking on the thin part of its own peck would it hear and respond.

Others may not know, but Oswin certainly knows. He holds a grudge against the pink-feathered pelican and deliberately does not say it.

But after recalling the good things that the pink-feathered pelican had done in the past, he didn't say anything. It was indeed a bit sympathetic.

Seeing the smile on Askan's lips, Oswin found it more and more irritating.

He comforted himself in his heart, thinking that anyone who could have a good relationship with that kind of bird could not be a good person.

Then, he spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Didn't they say that the pink-feathered pelican missed its eggs? Why didn't I see it come in?" Askan looked at Josh without changing his expression.

"Oh, right? Did she think we didn't call her? I'll go out and call her." Josh ran out.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw a pink-feathered pelican swallowing a lamb. Oh no!

Maybe it shouldn’t be called “swallow” either. The lamb poked its head out of its big throat pouch and bleated excitedly when it saw Josh.

There were other lambs beside him, trying to push their way into his mouth. Josh closed his eyes, hoping it was an illusion. No, was that right?

Askan, who followed closely, said in a deep voice: "Fenyu, what are you doing? Spit it out."

There was a hint of teasing in Oswin's eyes, ready to watch the show. This stupid bird always did something unexpectedly stupid.

Seeing Askan coming out, the pink-feathered pelican wants to spit out the overactive lamb in his mouth. I spit, I spit, I spit.

It was vomiting desperately, and the lamb was trying hard to stay stable. It didn't want to go out at all and seemed to find it exciting and fun.

No, what's wrong with you, Qiao Xi glared at the lamb in the throat pouch fiercely, Don't embarrass me, please!

Seeing Josh glaring at it, the jumping lamb felt a little scared. After all, Josh was scary when she was angry, and it didn't want to make her angry.

Then, when the pink-feathered pelican opened its mouth, it quickly jumped out.

When the pink-feathered pelican found that the lamb in its mouth jumped out, it didn't know whether it was curious or had a brain seizure, but it actually opened its mouth to measure the size of another jumping lamb and pinched its butt.

Askan's face turned dark, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a jumping lamb took the opportunity to crawl in headfirst, bleating excitedly.

The pink-feathered pelican looked at Askhan innocently. It wasn't my initiative. It came in on its own.

Qiao Xi laughed and gritted his teeth, "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't come out, don't come out. I'll invite Xingyue Bear to eat roasted whole lamb tonight."

"Mee!" The lamb inside screamed, "No!" I came out immediately. Then I struggled to get out again.

Oswin looked at the lamb with dissatisfaction. He thought he would see Askhan lose face, but he didn't expect that the lamb would let him down.

Josh smiled awkwardly at Askkan, "You know, they're always like this, too lively."

"The same goes for Fenyu. They just happen to be playmates."

This did allow the two of them to find a common topic. Oswin felt a little irritated and wanted to interrupt the scene. Whether in the legion or outside the legion, he was always so annoying.

"Josh, when are we going to check on the construction? The pelican eggs are healthy, so you don't have to worry." Oswin's words reminded Askan of the question he had deliberately not thought about just now: why did Oswin appear here?

There was news before that he was recommended by someone to leave the legion and take up a position elsewhere. Could it be the Weird Light Farm?

A random guess made Askan frown. "Construction status? Can I go and take a look?"

"Of course, let's go and take a look together." I was thinking that it would be difficult to leave with guests around, and since Askan asked, it would be a good idea for us to go and take a look together. That solved the problem.

Oswin frowned and said, "Askan, don't you have anything to do in your caravan? You have time to hang out here."

"Strolling around? Josh is an important partner of our caravan. It is my duty as captain to understand the situation of Weiguang Farm." Askan replied casually without caring.

"If you, Oswin, are going to work here in the future, we will have many opportunities to interact with each other." He spoke with a hint of profound meaning.

"Really?" Oswin replied bluntly.

Hahaha, I saw a post today saying that even if what we write is shit, there will be dung beetles that love to eat it hahaha
