Chapter 19: A Smell of a Servant
As much as Xu Xinxin had been looking forward to this vole before, she is now as annoyed by it.
Compared to completing quests, there is no rush to upgrade superpowers.
It is most important to prepare for the rainy season as soon as possible.
System Xiaojiu, who had been trying to get her to complete the task faster, noticed her emotional fluctuations and dared not say a word.
Xu Xinxin walked to the chicken coop with a gloomy face, looked at the field mouse being chased and pecked by the rooster, and said, "Just be quiet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the rooster and field mouse that were fighting were frightened by her momentum. They stopped and turned to look at her.
When an animal successfully evolves, or is close to evolving, its brain will also grow longer, and it will be able to perform the most basic functions of "observing words and expressions".
The rooster immediately stopped attacking, took two steps back, and then circled around the nest where the hen was incubating eggs.
When the vole saw Xu Xinxin, it immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, squeaking continuously.
"Meow~"
The little orange cat immediately translated its voice and transmitted it directly into Xu Xinxin's mind.
"Sir, we were wrong. My wife and I are willing to follow you forever."
How come this vole changes its personality after being away for a while?
The matter was definitely not simple, but Xu Xinxin was in no mood to guess, so she said directly: "Why do you want to follow me? Tell me now, or I'll throw you to the other side of the river."
“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”
"We want the green grass you planted, my Lord."
Green grass, where did she get it? She did plant a few green water spinach plants.
Xu Xinxin turned around puzzledly and walked towards the vegetable garden beside the house.
She had just taken a few steps in that direction when she saw the situation in the vegetable field and immediately became furious.
"Who told you to touch my vegetable patch?"
She was extremely angry because the seedlings that she had managed to grow with great difficulty were now all growing crookedly.
Even the water spinach that had barely grown strong was "cut in half" and all its leaves were gone.
These were all grown with her hard work. Her body has been sore for a long time because of this land, and she hasn't fully recovered yet.
The more Xu Xinxin thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face turned red with anger.
【bite……】
Just at this moment, the system prompt sound came out at an inopportune time.
System Xiaojiu quickly used its fastest speed to "cut off" the remaining prompt tones.
It really kills it. The system prompt sound doesn't matter in which situation. Fortunately, it is fast, otherwise I'm afraid it would be in danger of losing its life.
“Squeak…”
When the field mouse saw that Xu Xinxin was angry, he kowtowed desperately and kept shouting.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, we were wrong!"
"Sir, ever since we ate the grass you planted, we've discovered that following you is the right choice!"
"Sir, from now on, as long as you can let us eat that kind of green grass again, we are willing to follow you forever!"
"grown ups……"
"Enough." Xu Xinxin interrupted it immediately.
Why does this vole smell like a slave?
Is it because I’ve watched too many Qing Dynasty dramas?
"You destroyed the vegetables that I worked so hard to grow, and you still want me to support you. What are you dreaming of?" Xu Xinxin said.
"Tell me what you can do first, and I'll think about it."
She was still angry, but she had calmed down a little and didn't look as angry as before.
However, the look in her eyes when she looked at the vole was still a little cold, as if she would skin it, pull out its tendons and throw it into the frying pan immediately if it didn't tell her what kind of work it could do.
The field mice were so frightened that they trembled.
"Squeak...squeak, squeak..."
"I...we can help you crack melon seeds, peel walnuts, and help you..."
The more the vole spoke, the colder Xu Xinxin's face became. Suddenly, it shuddered and immediately changed its tone.
“Squeak…”
"We can help you dig a hole in the ground!"
Digging a hole in the ground?
After hearing this, Xu Xinxin pondered for a moment and asked, "Then can you farm and chop wood?"
Voles can dig holes in the ground, so there should be no problem in letting them plow the land.
Their teeth are capable of cracking melon seeds and walnuts, so it should be OK to let them crack some wood.
“Squeak…”
Under Xu Xinxin's gaze, the vole nodded desperately.
"Yes, yes, it's all right..."
"Then you follow me, and you'd better be honest." Xu Xinxin said, and opened the door of the chicken coop next to him.
In the past two days, she has realized that these two chickens are very cunning and they must be kept locked up all day to avoid becoming stupid.
It just so happened that this rooster was good at catching voles, so he could feel more at ease by letting it watch over the voles.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin immediately grabbed a handful of chicken feed from the space and threw it in front of the rooster.
“Hehe…”
When the rooster saw the chicken feed, it immediately flapped its wings and ran over, pecking at it quickly with its beak.
"Big rooster, watch this field mouse and don't let it run away."
“Hehe…”
After hearing this, the big rooster looked up at Xu Xinxin and continued to peck at the chicken feed.
It agreed.
After feeding the rooster with chicken feed, Xu Xinxin added some chicken feed to the hen. After all, it was about to become a mother hen and needed more nutrition.
As for the two voles, we'll have to wait and see how they perform.
Xu Xinxin took the male vole to the kitchen, and the rooster followed with flapping wings.
As soon as she pushed open the kitchen door, she saw the female vole squatting in the corner with her back to the door, seemingly gnawing on something.
"Squeak?"
Hearing the door opening, the female vole turned around, holding a piece of water spinach leaf in her front paws, with a look of confusion on her face.
Looking at its feet again, the shoelaces that had previously tied it had broken into two pieces.
When Xu Xinxin saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.
Her poor water spinach...and her few shoelaces.
This must be the work of the male vole.
Xu Xinxin lowered her head and glanced at the male vole. This time, the male vole didn't look at her, but ran to the female vole and squeaked for a while.
Then, the two field mice kowtowed to Xu Xinxin together.
Their "flattering" appearance is simply unbearable to watch.
“Hehe…”
The big rooster following behind Xu Xinxin suddenly jumped to the front, raised its head and howled.
The two voles shook their heads together and became quiet.
…
It was already late, and Xu Xinxin had to quickly collect more firewood before it got dark, so that she could cook dinner later.
"Big rooster, little orange cat, keep an eye on these two field mice."
After instructing the big rooster and the little orange cat, Xu Xinxin said to the two field mice: "Come with me to chop branches."
The Yushan Mountain behind the house is entirely enclosed in Land No. 333, covering an area of eight or nine hundred acres, about the size of four or five gymnasiums.
From a distance, Yushan looks like an ordinary "small mound of earth", not steep and easy to climb.
Because this place was originally a park, some steps were built with stone bricks on the mountain, and there is also a pavilion on the top of the mountain.
She remembered that there was a bamboo forest next to the pavilion. Once she climbed up, she could cut some bamboo to make bamboo baskets.
However, there is no rush to go up the mountain.
Xu Xinxin found the stone steps and planned to clear the bushes near the steps first and collect the cut branches to use as firewood.
