Chapter 17 Star Melon
Cucumber, a long, rough melon, can be eaten raw, fried, dipped in sugar, or eaten cold. It is crisp and refreshing and tastes great.
In a former holographic online game, the first delicacy that was auctioned for tens of thousands of spirit coins was "smashed cucumber". As a result, this long melon called cucumber became famous overnight, and its price was driven higher and higher, and it became the most popular melon among many fruits and vegetables.
Foodies affectionately call it "star melon".
It was not until its seeds began to be sold and large quantities of cucumbers were grown that it began to depreciate and become an ordinary fruit and vegetable.
Yun Qimu also followed the trend back then and planted two rows of cucumbers in his retirement land. He is very familiar with them.
I bent down and pulled aside a green leaf, and saw no less than three cucumbers. The yield was quite high.
Yun Qimu raised his eyebrows, smiled, picked three cucumbers, walked into the house, washed them, and couldn't wait to take a bite.
With a crisp sound, an extremely fresh taste exploded from her mouth. After savoring it carefully, it had a hint of sweetness. It tasted great, without any impurities or flaws.
The crisp and refreshing cucumber quickly conquered her tongue. After crunching down one, she quickly took the second one, ate it and hummed a little tune as she walked out, wanting to pick a few more for Little Brother Yun and Dad Yun to try.
But as soon as she stepped out of the cabin, her face suddenly turned gloomy.
Damn! Where do all these flying and showy chickens come from?
Above the cucumber field that was green and lush with vines full of vitality just now, there are now several Danghu chickens flying with their beards, some with red feathers, some with golden feathers, and some with green feathers.
It wagged its tail and stretched its neck, destroying the cucumber field into a mess.
The leaves and cucumbers were pecked into pieces, and some were even pulled out by the roots.
This cucumber field is like a young man in his prime, whose thick hair turned bald in the blink of an eye.
Yun Qimu covered his chest with his hands, sobbing with heartache.
I was so angry at that moment, these damn pheasants.
She summoned a small wooden bow directly from the storage compartment and started the massacre mode with great momentum.
Whoosh whoosh——
One arrow killed one rooster, and when I shot three in a row, each one cried out with its neck broken.
This frightened the other bodyguards who were originally wagging their tails arrogantly at her, and their eyes shrank. Their tails stiffened, and they flapped their long beards in a human-like manner to dodge, but they could not escape Yun Qimu's precise archery.

With the support of mental strength, the arrow will never go astray.
As her archery skills became more and more powerful, the system prompts sounded one after another, ding-dong continuously.
Just when Yun Qimu aimed her arrow at a golden-tailed rooster that had pecked at a cucumber she had taken a fancy to and had grown much stronger, Yun Xiaodi and the others came back.
"Wow, there are so many monsters. Kill them quickly, we have meat to eat."
Yun Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. He threw away the rabbit-headed and pig-bodied mad beast that he had dragged back, raised his silver crossbow and shouted.
"It's edible meat. It's the pheasant meat that Xiaoyu mentioned that makes a delicious soup. It's great."
The other five kids also threw away what they were holding and ran forward happily.
Al picked up the small iron sword, and the four children also found a few things that could be used to attack from the messy pile of debris they had found, and rushed forward with shouts.
To eat meat, go for it!
"Ah - my vitality is gone, Brother Pi Dan, come and help me."
The youngest sister Zhuzhu was the bravest. While the other children were still hesitating about where to start, she rushed up with a small wooden stick and hit a white-tailed chicken on the head with a "whoosh".
But instead of killing it with one blow, it became aggressive and pecked her back, and a bloody hole immediately appeared on her white and tender arm.
Zhuzhu pouted and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back firmly, not letting them fall. Then she turned to ask for help from the timid and cowering Pidan behind her.
Pi Dan held the wooden stick and swallowed his saliva. Although he was timid, he loved his sister Zhuzhu the most. When he saw Zhuzhu's little hand was pecked and bleeding, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and rushed forward.
He was still shouting anxiously, "Don't be afraid, sister Zhuzhu, I will avenge you, stinky chicken, wait for death."
Then he tripped over a stone under his feet and fell forward, just enough to pin the ferocious white-tailed chicken, which wanted to peck at him again, to the ground, causing it to scream in fear.

The other four children:
Zhuzhu immediately wiped back the tears in her eyes, blinked her tear-soaked eyelashes, and looked at Baiweiba struggling desperately under Pidan. Her pink eyes lit up in an instant.
"Brother Pidan, don't move. Mom said we'll kill him while he's sick. Hold him down and let's beat him together. Brother Al, Doudou, and Gouwazi, come quickly."
The three children were immediately excited and nodded and rushed forward.
One man took a big stick and hit the exposed part of the pheasant hard.
In the end, Al took the small iron sword and hit it on the butt, ending its life.
[Ding Dong—Congratulations to the player for obtaining a brass treasure chest!]
The five children immediately cheered, "Wow, we killed a chicken, we have meat to eat."
On the other side, Yun Xiaoyu, who was practicing her aim with a silver crossbow, opened her mouth in shock.
Then he pursed his lips, aimed at a guard with a more serious expression, and shot.
Another arrow shot out, and this time it accurately hit a flower-tailed Danghu chicken. As the ding-dong sound of the system rang in his ears, he grinned and was happy.
He can also fight monsters by himself!
So he wiped his little hands on his pants, and after wiping the sweat off his palms, he continued shooting with the silver crossbow.
After the practice just now, his accuracy improved a lot. He would always hit the target three out of ten times. Even if he failed to kill the chicken with one shot, he would shoot a few more arrows, or take a dagger and finish it off when it was injured.
For a time, Yun Xiaoyu reaped a lot of rewards.
The five little guys also began to understand each other and cooperated to fight the monsters.
The method of suppressing one first and then attacking in groups is also very effective.
Watching the cubs fighting with the Danghu chickens, and then looking down at the leaves and cucumbers that were trampled by them, Yun Qimu's forehead twitched and his lips moved, but in the end he couldn't utter a word.
With a sigh, she could only walk inside to make room for them.
It’s also good for protecting the melon field inside.
The sturdy rooster with a golden tail was also in the field, and it became even more aggressive.
It pecked at one cucumber after another as if it was marking its territory, but it only took one or two bites before moving on to a new cucumber, showing its rogue behavior of "one peck and it's mine" to the fullest.
Yun Qimu almost couldn't catch his breath. Damn it, that damn golden tail!
