Chapter 75: Change of Species



Xia Lunong woke up at around seven in the evening, groaning and complaining about a headache.

Xia Huoqu wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, he sighed silently, "Get up and drink some porridge."

Xia Lunong huddled in the quilt and muttered, "I don't want to drink, I have a headache."

Xia Lunong pressed his slender hands against his head, wishing he could roll around on the bed.

This time his headache was more severe than any other time, so painful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall, but he didn't dare to show it in front of his brother.

The pain before was just a dull pain near his temples, under the skin and flesh, but now even his bones were hurting. He stretched out his hand to pinch it, wishing he could pull out the bones inside and give them a good knock, using the external pain to ease the pain inside.

Xia Lunong raised her red eyes from the pain and looked at Xia Huoqu pitifully, "Brother, can you ask Doctor Ou for me, what should I do about my headache?"

Xia Huoqu said, "Wait."

He quickly went to find Doctor Ou.

Kong Zhi sat in the seat vacated by Xia Huoqu and stretched out his hand to press Xia Lunong.

Xia Lunong felt a little better after being rubbed by his warm palm, but it still hurt.

Doctor Ou came over quickly, and when he saw Xia Lunong, he raised his hand and put it on his forehead, and input a supernatural power into him, "Is this better?"

The cool supernatural power sank into his mind, soothing the pain. Xia Lunong's brows relaxed and he was about to nod.

Unexpectedly, when the supernatural power dissipated and the cool feeling passed, his head hurt again.

"It was better when I lost, but now it hurts again." Xia Lunong raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Ou, do you have any anesthetics?"

"Where can I find such things now?" Doctor Ou sighed, "Even if I do have them, I dare not give them to you."

Xia Lunong felt his head hurt even more when he heard it.

After several people's efforts, Xia Lunong's headache still could not be relieved, and it felt more and more painful.

He whispered, "I want to sleep."

Xia Huoqu said, "You sleep."

"Kongzhi, stay with me." Xia Lunong stretched out her hand and took Kongzhi's wrist, saying, "I want to listen to him play the flute."

Xia Huoqu: "I'll go ask Doctor Ou."

It was still early, and there were no other patients in the medical yard except Xia Lunong.

Doctor Ou agreed to their request to play the flute.

The sound of the flute soon rang out in Xia Lunong's ward, a low, peaceful and clear sound.

Xia Lunong, who had been tortured by pain for a long time, finally got a moment of peace.

Xia Huoqu listened to it for a while, but it was late, and they couldn't stay in the medical yard any longer, so they went back.

There were only Xia Lunong and Kongzhi in the ward.

Kongzhi played for more than an hour and stopped to rest.

Xia Lunong found a delicate balance between pain and fatigue, and whispered, "You play the flute really well."

"Nothing." Kong Zhi held his slightly cold hand, "Go to sleep quickly."

Xia Lunong groaned from his nose and closed his eyes.

Kong Zhi looked at him, and suddenly felt his hand empty. His eyes shifted to his hand, and he found that the hand in his hand had turned into a furry paw, and Xia Lunong on the hospital bed had also turned into a big cat lying on its back.

Kong Zhi stroked the cat's head, pinched the cat's chin, raised the flute in his hand, and continued to play.

He blew softly, and the music flew into the night and quickly dissipated, without affecting others.

Xia Maomao slept all night in this music. The next morning, he found that he could not change back.

"Meow." Xia Maomao opened his mouth and let his brother brush his teeth. His emerald cat eyes were full of frustration.

Xia Huoqu said, "It's better if you can't change back, so you don't have to be so bold and treat yourself as a nobody."

Xia Lunong: "Meow."

He didn't want to be a cat. He couldn't eat delicious food, read novels, play games, and his legs were too short.

Doctor Ou came to check him again after he washed up and found that he was not seriously ill and just needed to rest at home for a few days.

The hospitalization fee in the medical hospital was quite expensive. After knowing that he was not seriously ill, Xia Maomao "meowed" and urged his brother to take him back.

Xia Huoqu looked down at him and said, "Got it."

Xia Maomao "meowed" at Kong Zhi who had been up all night, signaling him to go back to sleep quickly.

Kong Zhi could roughly guess what he wanted to say, and reached out to rub the cat's head, "Go back and go to sleep."

Xia Lunong's incident made everyone in the family in a mess.

No one in the family went out to work that day, so they rested at home.

When it was evening, Yan Mingqing finally got the news and came to visit with biscuits, but was stopped by Xia Huoqu on the grounds that his brother needed to recuperate.

Yan Mingqing also knew that this incident must have offended Xia Huoqu, so he smiled bitterly twice, and kept the biscuits, saying, "Then I will come to visit again tomorrow."

Xia Huoqu originally wanted to throw the biscuits away, but considering that they were from the same base, they would meet each other sooner or later, so he endured it.

He was a gentleman and didn't say anything bad, but he really didn't allow Yan Mingqing to come to his house.

Kong Zhi stayed at home and blocked Yan Mingqing when he came to his house.

His tall figure stood next to the door frame, and Yan Mingqing couldn't even look inside.

Xia Lunong was still in cat form and couldn't do anything. He could only stay at home and recuperate.

Xia Lunong was really having a hard time during this period. The sequelae of overusing his supernatural powers were quite serious. He was tortured to the point that he lost a lot of weight, but the effect was also obvious.

That day, Yan Xinian worked in the fields all morning, and came back to tell them: "The peanuts in the field can be pulled out, I see that the seedlings are all withered and yellow."

Xia Huoqu asked: "Are other people in the base also pulling out their peanuts?"

"I think so, many people are already busy in the peanut fields."

In fact, they didn't have much experience in farming, and they didn't know the seasons when various crops matured, but everyone in the base started to pull out peanuts, and their peanut seedlings were almost dry and withered, and they estimated that they wouldn't grow much if they didn't pull them out.

Xia Huoqu said: "Let's go to the field tomorrow and pull up a peanut plant to see, if the peanuts below are all grown and solid, we will start pulling them out too."

"Okay." Yan Xinian said, "Then I won't arrange anything else tomorrow. Let's go pick peanuts together."

The next morning, three people and a cat went to the field with their loads on their shoulders.

Xia Lunong was still in the shape of a cat. He hadn't been to the field for several days, and everything was new to him now.

Looking around, he found that all kinds of crops were growing well. The soil was moist and there was no grass on it. They should have been well taken care of. He felt a little satisfied.

His expression was always very obvious. Even if he had a furry cat face, everyone could easily tell what he was thinking.

Yan Xinian saw him nodding seriously, as if he was inspecting the field. He couldn't help but smile and touched his head. "Don't worry, we will take good care of the crops you spent so much money to grow."

Xia Huoqu was not completely angry yet. He glared at him when he heard the words.

Yan Xinian was startled for a moment, and quickly raised his hand, "I'm just talking, let me pull some peanuts for you guys."

He was tall and had long legs, and he strode towards the two acres of peanut field, grabbed a peanut plant at the edge, and stretched out his hand to pull it out.

The peanuts that Xia Lunong and Yan Mingqing had a particularly hard time pulling out were gently lifted by him, and the whole plant was pulled out.

The three people and the cat focused their attention on this peanut plant, and saw that the peanut seedling was full of peanuts, and all of them were peanuts with five kernels, and four kernels were rare.

Because of Xia Lunong's efforts in the last period of time, this piece of peanuts was no longer so skinny. The peanut shell looked as thick as a normal peanut, but much longer than a normal peanut, and looked like an oversized peanut.

Yan Xinian stretched out his hand to pick a peanut pod, stretched out his hand and pinched it, and it took a little force to open the pod.

After the last period of growth, the peanut shells were full of veins, and they were no longer the tender and water-extracting ones they were before.

The shells were old, which meant that the peanuts were really ripe and could be picked.

Yan Xinian took out the peanut kernels and threw them into his mouth. The peanut kernels that had not been dried yet were still fresh and plump, and chewing them made people's mouths water.

Yan Xinian raised his eyebrows and said, "Delicious."

As he said that, he handed the peanuts to Xia Huoqu, "Try it."

Xia Huoqu tasted one and nodded, "It's really delicious, let's pick it first."

"Okay." Yan Xinian looked up and judged, "We should be able to pick them all this morning."

The three big men were very strong and worked very skillfully. It didn't take any effort to pull out the peanuts. One plant in each hand, and they pulled out a piece in a short while.

It is not troublesome to pull out the peanuts. The trouble is that there are too many peanuts underneath. It is easy to pull out the roots when pulling out the peanuts.

At this time, some peanuts will fall into the soil. They have to use a small hoe to dig up the nearby soil, reach out and grope, and pick up all the peanuts left in the soil.

It took them half a year to grow so few peanuts. Each peanut is not easy to come by. The three of them can only be patient and grope a little bit.

Summer cat ran around beside them. If he smelled the smell of peanuts, he would use his paw to pat his brother or Kongzhi to let them go over to pick up peanuts.

Fortunately, they didn't plant too many peanuts, only two mu of land.

The three of them worked hard for a whole morning. Finally, with sore backs, they pulled out all the peanuts and turned over the two mu of land.

They picked up three bags.

There were much more peanuts than they had imagined. The three baskets were not enough to hold all the peanuts. They had to pick up some first and then come back to pick up the rest.

Summer Cat stayed in the field to look after their peanuts.

Because the peanuts were pulled out, they were particularly eye-catching in the field. People passing by would come over to take a look from time to time, and soon found that their peanuts were different.

If Summer Cat was not there, people might not dare to come down to take a look, for fear of causing any misunderstanding. If

he was there, things would be easier.

Everyone swarmed over to see the excitement, and more and more people gathered in their field.

"I've been farming for most of my life. I've bought all kinds of high-tech seeds before, but this is the first time I've seen a scene like this."

"Don't talk about high-tech seeds. I've watched so many TV dramas before, but I've never seen peanuts like this."

"Hey, Xiao Nong, how do you grow all these peanuts? Is it really your special ability?"

"Xiao Nong, do you also buy these seeds from Lao Liu?"

"Today I've learned what it means to be pissed off by comparing yourself to others."

The topic kept going back and forth, and soon someone brought it up.

"Xiao Nong, what do you want to do with these peanuts? There are so many, why not exchange some for me to use as seeds?"

"Exchange some for me, too. I'll give you two pounds of peanuts for one pound of yours!"

"I'll give you three pounds!"
