Winter nights come quickly. The distance from the northwest area to the south is too far. Hanzhou and the other two have limited abilities and cannot cross the entire dangerous city in the middle of the night.
The rampant growth of plants in the city has led to more and more animals taking root and living in the city, not to mention birds, insects, etc., not to mention the nocturnal mice and big cats. In the past two years, Hanzhou and his two companions have even seen huge herds of wild boars and deer in the city, and the only large carnivores missing are wolves and tigers.
Residents of both Hanzhou and Xingyue City are extremely grateful that their cities are far away from the nature reserve.
"I wonder what the current situation of the savannas and rainforests is like?" Han Zhou muttered to himself as he stirred the fire, while dinner for them was cooking in the pot.
In the evening, they had another meal of grass root porridge. The grass root porridge in the pot was yellow-green, with a special herbal fragrance, but it looked extremely unappetizing. Shi Yahui looked at Xia Ruanruan, whose arm was still wrapped in a cloth strip, and nudged her boyfriend. "Go get another can of food from your backpack and boil it in hot water. We'll have the porridge later, and Ruanruan can eat the can."
The little girl had given them a lot of supplies before, including a lot of canned meat. However, Shi Yahui had been frugal over the years and only had a bite to eat once or twice a month. She had already had a meal of meat porridge at noon today, so she didn't plan to eat again in the evening.
"Okay!" Han Zhou took out the can of pork and threw it into the hot water.
This abandoned supermarket has easy access to water, and with a mutant beast guarding the door, there's no need to worry about other mutant beasts attacking at night. The three of them decided to take this opportunity to take a good bath and refresh themselves.
Xia Ruanruan, who was talking to Sister Zhou, turned her head and looked at the can. She was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Hanzhou, Sister Yahui, don't bother. You don't have to cook canned food for me. I can just drink porridge like you guys."
"How can that be possible? Children should get more nutrition so that they can grow taller." Shi Yahui touched the little girl's soft head with a smile. Her hair, which had just been washed in the afternoon, was soft and fluffy, with a faint fragrance of soap.
"That's right, children should eat more." Thinking that the little girl was worried that they didn't have enough supplies, Zhou Xia also nodded and advised her.
How can such a young child not supplement protein?
"No!"
Xia Runrun held Xiaobai in her chubby, short hands, her chubby face full of seriousness: "I only eat meat, eggs, and milk from water! I don't eat pork, beef, or anything like that."
"Huh?" Han Zhou's eyes twitched instantly, feeling that something was beyond his expectations.
The little girl's voice was soft and sticky, with a sweet milky taste, but she was remarkably firm as she spoke: "I'm good friends with the kitten, puppy, Peppa Pig, and the crow, so I don't eat their meat!"
"Then why don't you eat the beef?" Shi Yahui responded subconsciously.
"The Bull Demon King is also my good friend. I can't eat him." The little girl pointed with embarrassment at a slightly exaggerated yellowed poster on the wall of an abandoned supermarket. On the poster were two red bulls colliding with each other.
Shi Yahui: “…”
Han Zhou: “…”
Han Zhou then remembered that the several cans of luncheon meat he had at noon were indeed canned fish, not the most common canned pork or canned beef.
However, Han Zhou stared at the yellowed poster of Red Bull for two seconds, opened his mouth, and tried to persuade the little girl, "What era is this? It's good enough to have meat to eat, how can you be so picky about food?"
However, the little girl was full of confidence. Her long eyelashes were shiny and curly, and her bright black eyes seemed to be stained with stars. Her chubby face was serious and earnest. "Hey, Brother Hanzhou, you don't know... It's because I never eat fluffy things that they are my friends! Look at Xiaobai, Little Crow, and Egg Yolk, they are all like this."
When their names were suddenly called, the little crow and the big orange cat turned their heads.
Han Zhou: “…”
Others: “…”
Han Zhou wanted to try to refute Xia Ruanruan, but he couldn't find any useful rebuttal points.
That's right, after all, he eats pork and beef, and also likes chickens, ducks, fish, and geese. No animal likes him. Those mutant animals are already merciful if they don't chase him for two miles every time they see him. How can they find any reason to refute the little guy in front of them who has both cats and dogs?
"Why don't we just forget it... Let's just heat up some canned fish. Let me count... 1234... 8... There are still 8 cans of fish here, which can last us for several days." Sister Zhou thought about it and felt that some things are better to believe than not to believe.
Otherwise, how can we explain that this little girl in front of us can easily subdue various mutant animals by not playing by the rules?
Ordinary people might not succeed in keeping mutant animals as pets even if they raised them from childhood. But this little girl, with just a few casual words, had these animals willingly staying by her side. I heard that the group of carrion crows were reluctant to leave when they left.
Xia Runrun heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her words had fooled the three people in front of her.
It's not that she completely abstains from meat; she's simply been able to understand furry speech since she was a child. Anything with fur, flying in the sky or running on the ground, can understand. After a while, Xia Ruanruan came to consider these little animals her friends, and since they were friends, they had to abide by the rules. Although she sometimes lost a lot of joy, like honey-glazed pork chops and toothpick beef, she didn't feel sad after all these years.
"Ga ga ga~!" (Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan, can you help me take a bath?)
Feeling like there was nothing else to do, the little crow seized the opportunity and rubbed its little head against Xia Ruanruan's palm.
Everyone washed Baibai, even the big orange cat wiped the cat's paw pads, it also wanted~~
"OK."
Seeing the little crow's eager eyes, Xia Ruanruan adjusted the water temperature and began to wash the little crow. In fact, even without the little crow's reminder, Xia Ruanruan planned to wipe it after dinner. After all, the little crow was too dirty, and as the dirtiest member of the team, she could not ignore it.
“Clatter!…”
The little crow sat happily in the water. Xia Runruan covered her hands with foam and rubbed it back and forth on the bird's back. The black foam spread down the bird's back. As the warm water rushed over the bird's back, Xia Runruan clearly realized that something seemed to be wrong...
"Hmm...? No... Why is your beak yellow?" Xia Ruanruan subconsciously pulled open the little crow's big wings. Under the wings, a white "eight"-shaped feather was clearly visible among the feathers whose original color was covered by dirt.
“???????”
Xia Runrun was a little confused. It turned out that the little crow in her house was actually a starling?
no……
Everyone says that the starling's voice is clear and pleasant, and it can even imitate human speech, but this little crow, no... starling... how come its voice is even hoarse and unpleasant than that of a crow?
...No wonder this bird, which is obviously a starling, can only hang out with a flock of crows, and has been without being discovered by the crows for so long.
After all, the boss of the crows probably never imagined that the call of a starling would be even more unpleasant than that of a crow.
Xia Runrun looked at the little starling with an innocent face and fell into deep thought for a long time.
No wonder this bird is smaller than other crows in the flock.
In nature, starlings are half the size of crows!
