Chapter 195: Jaeger Falls from the Sky
After pulling out two sweet potato vines, Xia Xiaoman returned home and immediately took out the pots he had used to grow vegetables, dug two holes, and planted the sweet potato vines.
This new variety of sweet potato is cold-resistant and doesn't need much sunlight. But it is not drought-resistant and needs to be watered thoroughly every day, otherwise it will die easily.
In winter, the last thing you need is water. If you run out of water, you can go outside and collect a bucket of snow, melt it, and then use it for watering.
If the soil is well hydrated, the sweet potato vines can grow very fast. After only one week of planting, they have grown to more than one meter long. If I plant them for a few more days, the leaves I pick will be enough to make a dish.
Xia Xiaoman really likes to eat sweet potato vines. When they are fried with lard, they taste so delicious. Unfortunately, she has all kinds of oils in her space except lard.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by a snap, as if something hit the roof and fell down.
Xia Xiaoman was startled by the sound and almost broke the sweet potato vines that she had grown with great difficulty.
She put on her coat and hat and went out. A moment later, she saw a wounded skua in the yard.
The skua was seriously injured and kept flapping its wings to try to fly. However, no matter what it did, it was in vain. Instead, the wound was torn even bigger. Bright red blood was everywhere, and the traps in the yard were completely destroyed by the skua.
Xia Xiaoman took out an axe and smashed it on the skua's head. With just one hit, the skua became quiet and lay on the ground motionless.
Xia Xiaoman walked forward, lifted the skua's wings and took a look. There was a spear in the skua's abdomen, half of which was inserted into the abdomen. If it moved slightly, blood would gush out quickly.
"It should have fallen around here, everyone, hurry up and look for it!"
"I saw that it seemed to have fallen into the yard. Do you want to climb over the wall to get in?"
"It's not a good idea to climb over the wall! This yard looks like someone lives there."
"Who cares if there's anyone living there? We're not going to steal anything. We're just trying to get the skua out. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right. If we don't go in and take a look, what if the Skua is taken away by the people inside?"
“…”
When Xia Xiaoman heard the rude noises outside, she rolled her eyes speechlessly, grabbed the skua's claw with one hand and lifted it up, then took out a stepladder and climbed up.
"Hey, is this what you guys did?"
When the people outside saw Xia Xiaoman picking up the jaeger, they shouted excitedly, "We shot it. Please throw it out. Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoman threw the skua back to the ground, sat on the top of the stepladder and said, "Just admit that you guys shot it. The bird you shot damaged my roof and the traps I set in the yard. Tell me, how do you want to solve this problem?"
The people outside were dumbfounded when they heard this. "This skua is not that big, how could it possibly damage the roof? Are you kidding me... ahem, are you kidding me?"
Xia Xiaoman pointed to the place on the roof where the skua had just smashed, "That corner was damaged by something blown by the tornado. Later I used wooden boards to repair it, but just now, this skua smashed two wooden boards, and now those two boards are still hanging there."
Those people looked in the direction of Xia Xiaoman's finger, and indeed saw two rectangular black shadows half hanging on the edge of the eaves.
"This, this doesn't prove that we broke it. Maybe it was already broken before."
Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "You want evidence? No problem. There are probably feathers and bloodstains from the skua on the board. Do you want me to take the board down and show it to you?"
The leader smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no." Since the other party could provide evidence so calmly, it was very likely that the roof was really damaged.
"Well, I'm really sorry for damaging your roof. So, this steel-toothed rabbit can be considered compensation. Is that ok with you?" As he said that, the man took out the body of a steel-toothed rabbit from a sealed bag.
Xia Xiaoman said: "In addition to the roof, the traps I set in the yard were also smashed."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said dissatisfiedly: "I think you are deliberately trying to blackmail us. It's just a broken trap. You can just break it and make a new one. Why do you want compensation? We only have one steel-toothed rabbit. You can take it or not!"
From the sound, it was the same person who just said he was going to climb over the wall. Xia Xiaoman looked over coldly. The other person was tall and strong, no wonder he dared to climb over the wall.
"Since we can't reach an agreement, let's forget it! I don't want compensation, but this skua fell into my house, so it's mine." Xia Xiaoman said indifferently.
"See! I said she wanted to steal our Skua, and I was right!"
The leader stopped his teammates from climbing over the wall and said, "Don't be impulsive. I'll talk to her again."
"Let's talk. What the hell are we talking about? There are so many of us. We can just go in and grab the Jaeger. Why are we wasting time talking to her here?"
"Get out of the way. If you don't go, I will. I don't believe I can't get it back!" As he said that, the man took two steps back, ran to the wall, jumped up and climbed onto the wall.
"Zhu Xiaoyu! What are you doing? Come down quickly!" the leader shouted anxiously.
The man named Zhu Xiaoyu did not listen to him. He supported the wall with both hands and put his feet up.
Xia Xiaoman calmly took out a crossbow and aimed at the opponent's head.
Zhu Xiaoyu had only climbed halfway up the wall when he looked forward and saw a crossbow pointing right at his forehead.
Zhu Xiaoyu: “…”
At this moment, the leading man grabbed Zhu Xiaoyu's clothes on his back. Zhu Xiaoyu was not paying attention and was directly dragged down by him, falling heavily.
Seeing him fall, the man was still not satisfied and kicked Zhu Xiaoyu twice. "How dare you mess with anyone? You don't want to die! Just die by yourself, don't fucking implicate us!"
After kicking Zhu Xiaoyu twice, the man calmed down a little, took out two steel-toothed rabbits from the sealed bag, adjusted his expression, and said in a gentle tone as possible: "Sister, can you give me two steel-toothed rabbits as compensation?"
Xia Xiaoman looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! Throw the rabbit in."
The man responded, raised his hand and threw the two steel-toothed rabbits into the yard.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman also picked up the skua and threw it out, hitting Zhu Xiaoyu right on the face, leaving his face covered with bird feathers.
Zhu Xiaoyu was immediately furious and wanted to open his mouth to curse, but before he could utter a word, the leading man kicked him over, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pick up the jaeger. Do you want to be eaten by the steel-toothed rabbit?"
Zhu Xiaoyu looked very upset after being scolded. He picked up the skua, snorted heavily in a childish manner, and left without looking back.
The leading man turned around and smiled embarrassedly at Xia Xiaoman, then led his teammates to closely follow Zhu Xiaoyu.
