The person who came was Zhou Ke. I didn’t expect him to arrive so soon.
Xie Pu Rou's bad mood disappeared immediately, and she wondered what the little thing he brought was.
"Now that you're here, why are you being so polite? Come in."
Zhou Ke came in with his gift. The gift was very big, a box, and it was a bit difficult to carry it all the way over.
He put the box on the table. There was a pink bow tied on the lid of the box. Xie Puluo saw that something seemed to be moving inside, pushing against the lid.
It looks like a living creature. Could it be a mutant creature?
There must be a reason why the Central Base gave her something, just like the gift he gave her last time.
Xie Purou raised her eyebrows and opened the lid of the box, revealing two horse-like bodies, each with a single horn on its head, just like the unicorns in mythology. One was as bright as snow, the other as deep as night.
The peculiar-looking ponies made Xie Pu Rou blurt out in surprise almost the moment she saw them: "Huan Shu?!"
Now it was Zhou Ke's turn to be surprised, "You know this creature?"
Xie Pu Rou shook her head. It was just that she was bored when she was in another dimension, so she read more books and noticed these unicorn-like horses. She also memorized their names.
I didn't expect to see this kind of horse in the end times.
Huanshu was their name recorded in the book she had read, but nowadays it was also acceptable to call them unicorns.
“I’ve seen it in a book before.”
The two ponies were really small, not much bigger than Snowflake and Aoao now. Their skinny little bodies seemed to have no strength, and their two pairs of wet eyes looked at her.
"Where did this come from?"
"I found it while on a mission. I thought it looked strange, so I brought it back to base to see if I could keep it alive."
Xie Pu Rou stretched out a finger and teased them with it.
They looked listless, and asked, "Did you feed them?"
"Obviously, no." Zhou Ke shrugged helplessly. "They won't eat anything if you feed them. If they're really hungry, they'll just eat some grass."
"A kind-hearted wood-type mutant created some greens for them to eat, but they didn't even look at them. They would only take a few bites when they were extremely hungry, and then they wouldn't eat anything else when they had something else in their stomach."
Xie Purou looked at the two little ones in the box and said, "They are really hard to please."
"They are a bit difficult to take care of. I thought you'd keep a pet too, so I brought them here to see if you can take care of them. They don't eat much, just a few bites of vegetables when they're really hungry."
Xie Purou only remembered their names and had no impression of their eating habits or anything like that. It might also be that they were not mentioned in the book at all.
"Have you ever tried feeding meat?"
Zhou Ke had certainly tried, "I tried, feeding them mutant beast meat, but they wouldn't eat it."
"It's a bit difficult." Xie Pu Rou felt helpless as she looked at the two little creatures that were sick from hunger.
Aoao: [Master, would you like to try feeding some vegetables grown with spiritual spring water?]
Xie Pu Rou looked down at Ao Ao, who was lying in the distance with a panoramic view of everything here, and felt that what it said made sense.
When Aoao and Xuehua have nothing to do at home, they are used to eating the green vegetables grown in the small piece of land she has opened up in the yard. They are also very active in watering the green vegetables in the land every day.
Before she won the can, they loved eating the green vegetables in the field more than the cat food she carefully prepared for them.
Feeding them some green vegetables might really help. Horses should eat grass. If that doesn't work, you can only try canned food.
Canned food is meat, but I don’t know if horses will eat canned meat.
Pets at home are meant to be kept and used. She asked Xuehua and Aoao to go to the field to pick some cabbages, while she herself stayed where she was, sitting and communicating with the big tree.
The two things, which we temporarily called unicorns, were carried out unnoticeably so that they could be better observed by Tree One and Tree Two in the yard.
"Do you know these two little creatures? Do you know what they eat?"
Tree 1: [I don’t know.]
Tree 2: [I don’t understand.]
Tree 1 and Tree 2 chorus: [Unclear.]
Xie Pu Rou: It’s hard for me not to suspect that you are colluding to bully me.
"Really not knowing?"
Tree 2: [I really don’t know.]
Xie Pu Rou had no doubt that these two trees might not have lived as long as she had, so it was understandable that they didn't know.
In fact, the two unicorns were already feeling better when Zhou Ke brought them into the B&B. Feeling the spiritual energy emanating from Tree 2, they became somewhat more energetic despite being starving. Otherwise, Xie Pu Rou would have seen them in an even worse state.
Aoao and Xuehua came over with a cabbage in their mouths. They put the cabbage on the ground and went back to lie down where they felt comfortable.
Xie Purou took the cabbage, broke off the leaves and held them in her hand.
The black unicorn felt the call of food and stretched its neck forward, and the white unicorn followed suit.
She held the leaf out forward, and the two ponies immediately came closer to sniff it.
A playful breath emanated from the unicorn's nostrils, as if it were searching for the source of the smell.
Xie Purou brought the leaves closer, so that they could reach them with their mouths open.
The unicorn was like a person who had just found a rain after a long drought and couldn't wait to roll up the vegetable leaves with his tongue and put them into his mouth to chew. From time to time, he made a small sound and looked like he had been hungry for a long time.
Aoao and Xuehua watched the two newcomers enjoying the vegetable leaves brought by their owner in his arms. With some resentment, the two kittens went to the vegetable patch together and nibbled on a cabbage.
Zhou Ke, who was standing by, was stunned.
You guys were clearly not like that just now!!!
Xie Purou took the leaves one by one and tasted them. She looked at Zhou Ke with a smile and said, "It seems that they can eat too. You can rest assured."
Zhou Ke's heart surged: "I feel relieved that they like staying with you."
Remembering the reason for calling Zhou Ke over, Xie Purou asked as she fed him, "Has the base recently surveyed any weather conditions?"
Now Xie Pu Rou is the number one protected person in the central base. Although she doesn't need it, the country has ordered Zhou Ke to talk to the B&B owner at will.
As long as it doesn't leak military secrets, there's no problem in talking about this.
"A survey has revealed that it will rain for a long time." Zhou Ke straightened his expression. "Is this what the owner called me here to tell you?"
"Is there going to be another natural disaster? Or..."
Xie Purou interrupted his wandering thoughts: "There is a new natural disaster."
She relayed M80's words in detail, "It's better to prepare the base early, while the rain is still light."
Zhou Ke was very satisfied to have made such a suggestion. "Thank you, Miss Shopkeeper. I will report it truthfully when I return."
Xie Pu Rou waved her hand towards the open space in the yard, and the spiritual spring water she had bottled in advance appeared on the ground.
