Whether that small mine can bring any surprises remains to be seen.
Jiang An did not choose to leave immediately, but slowly turned around and walked steadily toward the cowshed.
Indeed, this place is no longer suitable to be called a donkey shed, since the donkey is long gone, leaving only the iron-striped cow and her young calf for company.
When Jiang An stepped into the cowshed, the cow spotted her immediately and let out a series of urgent moos.
The voice sounded full of sorrow and pity, as if it were telling of the suffering it had endured.
It was only then that Jiang An realized, as if waking from a dream, that the cow had not eaten all day.
Moreover, it had just given birth to a calf not long ago, and now it urgently needs a lot of food to replenish its energy.
With a thought, Jiang An subconsciously extended her consciousness into the storage ring. However, just a moment later, a look of astonishment appeared on her face—it turned out that the food stored inside had already been completely consumed!
Recalling her previous experience in the instance, in order to pack as many of those crucial spears and shields as possible, she had to reluctantly remove all the feed originally intended for the livestock and carelessly discard it on the oasis.
Although making this decision was incredibly painful for Jiang An, the situation was critical at the time, and there was always a distinction between what was more important and what was less urgent.
At present, the steel extracted from spears and shields is undoubtedly valuable and hard to come by, while animal feed can be purchased at any time as long as you have enough trading points.
The food was almost gone, but fortunately, the water supply was still plentiful.
Without hesitation, Jiang An took out a water storage device from his storage ring. The device looked ordinary, but it seemed to contain an endless supply of clear spring water.
Jiang An moved the water tank to where the iron-patterned ox was, and then began to fill the feeding trough and water trough with water.
Clear water gushed out and quickly filled the two containers.
After doing all this, Jiang stood quietly to the side, observing the Iron-Patterned Ox's reaction.
Sure enough, the iron-patterned cow was already extremely thirsty.
When it saw the full tank of clear water, its eyes lit up instantly. It rushed to the water tank, opened its mouth wide, and gulped down the cool spring water.
With each sip, you can hear a crisp "glug" sound, making you marvel at how quickly it drinks water.
Not only that, this clever cow didn't just focus on quenching her own thirst; she also turned around and called her newborn calf to come and drink with her.
Although the calf was young and weak, it wobbled to the water trough at its mother's call and tried to suck up the sweet water, just like its mother.
Before long, the water level in the feeding trough dropped significantly.
Seeing this, Jiang An thought: As expected of animals living in such a harsh environment as the desert, their need for water is beyond imagination!
However, at that moment, Jiang An suddenly thought of something. He quickly turned on the light screen he carried with him, found the trading channel, and skillfully clicked into a shop that sold animal feed.
We directly purchased some feed that required no further processing and could be consumed immediately.
After all, given the current situation, she simply didn't have the extra energy to carefully prepare food for the iron-patterned cow.
Just as Jiang An finished shopping, she was surprised to find that the cow had drunk all the water in the trough and the feeding trough!
Faced with this situation, Jiang An could only smile helplessly, pick up the water tank again, and refill the feeding trough.
While the cow was focused on enjoying its delicious feed, Jiang An quickly and carefully refilled the water trough with clean water.
She couldn't help but glance a few more times at the heartwarming scene of the adorable calf happily suckling its mother's milk.
However, she had many important things to deal with at the moment and simply didn't have the extra time to stay there and milk the cows.
Moreover, this cow has just given birth and does need some time to recuperate and recover.
Thinking of this, Jiang An sighed softly, then slowly turned around and left the cowshed with firm steps.
As for when she will be able to taste fresh milk, she can only put that aside for now and make a decision when she has more free time later.
Next, Jiang An began to think about how to acquire camels, a vital mode of transportation in the desert.
She knew in her heart that it would not be easy to find and tame a herd of camels on her own.
