Chapter 7: My Fish!
There is no way. After the disaster, practical things are sold at higher prices. If the country had not supplied large amounts of food, food prices would probably have skyrocketed.
There are too many things and the space is packed full.
Fortunately, Xu Xinxin bought a plastic bag from the fishmonger, filled it with some water, and put the live fish directly in it, so she could carry it by hand.
Xu Xinxin took bus No. 112 back home and took another path. It was already past four in the afternoon when she got home.
As soon as she got home, Xu Xinxin realized that she had forgotten to buy chicken feed.
Forget it, I'll feed it some mutant rice today and buy some more tomorrow.
Xu Xinxin had just returned to the room and taken things out of the space when the hen locked in the kitchen suddenly started crowed.
Could it be that her hen is about to give birth?
Xu Xinxin was delighted, put the fish in her hand into a basin, and ran to the kitchen.
"Chuck, chuck, chuck..."
As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she saw the hen huddled in the corner, spinning in circles while flapping her wings and squawking.
Look at the rooster again. It is jumping on a stove and looking at the hen from a distance.
Xu Xinxin waited for a while, but there was no system notification sound. She looked around for eggs and asked the system:
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, come and see if the hen has laid any eggs?"
"Let me take a look..." The system responded immediately after it was called. It scanned the kitchen and immediately replied, "The hen laid eggs, but they are not fertilized eggs, just ordinary eggs."
So... it was all for nothing.
Xu Xinxin was slightly disappointed, but she quickly became happy again.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean she has eggs to eat now?
Forget it, let’s wait for two days. The hen has just arrived, so I have to leave an egg in its nest to let it know that this is the place to lay eggs.
Otherwise, it will look for places to lay eggs everywhere, and she will have to pick up eggs all over the ground.
Leaving the kitchen, there was a sudden noise coming from the room next door.
"Bang!"
An orange cat ran towards us with a fish in its mouth.
Xu Xinxin was stunned for a second, but quickly reacted.
"My fish!"
She immediately chased after him.
Who the hell did this little thief come from to steal her fish?
Xu Xinxin followed it for two steps, and the orange cat flashed into the bushes beside it and disappeared from sight.
Xu Xinxin put her hands on her waist, panting, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn wild cat, don't let me see you again!"
[Dear host, you have once again met your lifelong enemy - the White Tiger Orc. After a brief confrontation, you are at a disadvantage. Please keep up the good work and reveal the true face of the opponent as soon as possible! ]
The sudden system prompt sound stunned both Xu Xinxin and System Xiaojiu.
"Xiaojiu, that wild cat is the white tiger orc you mentioned?" Xu Xinxin said in disbelief.
The system was also confused: "I don't know either... You know my situation too. The task prompt said it was out of control. If it said yes, then that's it!"
This is good news.
Oh, no, her fish.
Xu Xinxin quickly ran back to the room, fearing that the other fish had also been stolen.
Fortunately, the kitten was probably too small and only stole one kilogram of fish, leaving one two-kilogram fish.
She was afraid of another accident, so she scooped some rice to feed the two chickens, then ignored her rumbling stomach and quickly carried the fish to the shore.
"Fang Pi, are you still here?"
After jogging all the way to the shore, Xu Xinxin began to call out to the porpoises.
“Puff, puff…”
From afar, the sound of swimming could be heard in the water. From time to time, a finless porpoise would pop out its pointed head and in the blink of an eye, it would swim to the shore.
"Meh~"
When Xu Xinxin saw the finless porpoise, her mood inexplicably improved. She tried hard to grab the fish with her hands and handed it forward.
"This time I went to the city and brought you a gift."
When the porpoise saw the fish in her hand, it didn't think it was too small. It opened its mouth, bit the fish's tail, threw it upwards, and threw it into its mouth.
"Meh~"
Xu Xinxin saw that the finless porpoise's eyes lit up after eating the fish, and its body floated on the water and swam even more happily.
She was very happy and said, "As long as you like it, I will bring it to you next time I go to the city..."
“Chiu!”
In the sky, a huge bird sensed the movement here, spread its huge wings, and slowly flew towards this direction.
"Don't move, put your hands up!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from above.
An invisible water blade instantly appeared at Xu Xinxin's feet, cutting a large hole in the soil.
Xu Xinxin was frightened, but Jiang Porpoise was not afraid of the man above his head. He spit out a lump of ice from his mouth and threw it directly at the man's face.
"Little Pig, stop making trouble!"
At this time, Xu Xinxin raised her head and saw a big parrot with wings four or five meters long above her head?
Oh my God, whose parrot has grown so big and can even carry people flying in the sky!
Xu Xinxin looked at the young woman sitting on the parrot's back, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
She wanted to sit on it too.
"Chirp~"
The huge green-feathered parrot fanned the ground, slowly slowed down and stopped on the shore.
Liu Wanqing looked at the silly expression of the girl in front of her. Her initial anger at discovering that the Yangtze River dolphins had been "poisoned" slowly turned into confusion.
Could it be that she had misunderstood and the girl was innocent?
"Chirp?"
The green-feathered parrot also looked at Xu Xinxin in confusion, and then looked at the finless porpoise.
“Puff!”
At this time, the Yangtze River dolphin was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Wanqing's attack just now. It spit out another piece of ice and threw it at Liu Wanqing.
Liu Wanqing caught the ice lump thrown at her and said angrily, "I am concerned about you, please stop making trouble."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xu Xinxin again and asked, "What are you doing here? What did you feed the porpoise just now?"
In just a moment of turning around, Liu Wanqing's gentle expression became unexpectedly serious.
Xu Xinxin looked at her with a serious face, and all the admiration she had just felt disappeared, and she immediately became nervous.
"I didn't do anything but feed a fish to the porpoise."
"Why are you feeding it fish?!"
Liu Wanqing's face became even colder.
With the help of the country, most people can barely get enough food to eat. Let alone fish, they can hardly afford to eat meat.
In this case, a person who feeds fish to aquatic creatures for no reason must have some ulterior motive.
After such a long time, Xu Xinxin finally figured out why the person in front of him misunderstood him.
This person was probably a garrison soldier nearby, and the "parrot mount" beside her was the best proof of this.
After Jiang Cheng cleared out the large mutant creatures nearby, he dug this circular river to effectively prevent the invasion of mutant creatures from outside.
In this way, the garrison troops stationed at the outermost part of Jiangcheng only need to be on guard against mutant creatures in the air.
Therefore, the garrison troops responsible for patrolling Jiangcheng basically have a flying evolved creature as a partner.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin calmed down again and explained: "I am friends with the finless porpoise. It took me swimming in the river this morning and I dug wild vegetables and sold them for a lot of money, so I wanted to buy a fish for it."
There is no point in lying when facing the garrison.
Although the power system has been destroyed and there is no electricity in the city, the key defense areas near Jiangcheng still have electricity and a number of cameras have been installed.
