Watching the rabbits leave in a mighty procession, only a few fluffy white silhouettes were left behind, disappearing around the corner of the street.
Egg yolk couldn't help but stretched out his paw to lick it, and said with hope in his eyes.
"Meow, meow, meow~" (Ruanruan, do you want to eat the rabbit? Why not let the cat sneak up and catch a rabbit? The cat thinks the small one is good.)
As a natural predator, Egg Yolk had never tasted rabbit before. Looking at the size of the rabbits, any single one would be no match for him, and the big orange cat was getting a little anxious.
Xia Ruanruan said with some embarrassment: "There are too many rabbits, you can't beat them..."
She's naturally endeared to many small animals, and nearly every furry creature displays its kindness in her presence. Even herbivores and carnivores get along well. But some things are difficult to change. For example, she can't make a tiger a vegetarian, or a dog stop chewing on bones.
Even as a carnivorous animal, if she forces the other party to eat vegetarian food every day, the other party will end up with sparse hair and malnutrition.
but……
Facing the group of little rabbits who had just given her rabbit fur, worried that she would be cold at night, and even lit up the small picture book, Xia Runrun really didn't want to see Egg Yolk become enemies with them.
"Meow, meow~" (The cat is so big, and although it looks weak, helpless, and pitiful, as long as you are careful, it should be fine~ meow~)
The big orange cat lowered its head with a puzzled look on its face, and put its two paws on its tail to prevent its paws from getting cold.
"But... I don't want to see you get hurt. I'll be worried if you get hurt..." The little girl puffed out her cheeks and tilted her head back, her eyes full of heartache.
It was obviously not working to threaten with a herd of rabbits, so Xia Runrun adopted a more conciliatory policy.
yolk:"!!!"
The big orange cat's ears trembled unconsciously, and even its whiskers trembled. The cat's tail swung back and forth in a good mood, and it seemed that even its claws were not afraid of the cold.
How could Egg Yolk remain indifferent when his beloved cub was looking at him and caring about him?!
He immediately surrendered, meowing and saying that he would never cause trouble for the group of rabbits.
How could it possibly be a match for those violent rabbits, such a weak and pitiful creature? Naturally, he would walk as far away as possible, absolutely not letting his cubs worry.
"We finished work early today. We can go for a walk around the area later and see if we can find your favorite fish by the river. Then we can ask someone to help us get a bigger fishing net, and catch fish every day!" Xia Runrun smiled with her eyes curved, and her baby voice was full of joy.
Shaking her stiff little legs from the cold, Xia Runrun leaned close to Dan Huang to keep warm.
Although Xingyue City is an inland city, it has water, mountains, rivers and lakes, so the fishery is extremely rich.
Xia Ruanruan had discussed this with several people in the shelter during dinner last night. Although she didn't know the exact situation of Xingyue City, she could tell from the survivors' words that before the virus outbreak, Xingyue City was a beautiful, international metropolis with a slow pace.
There are tens of millions of people living here!
However, precisely because of the large population, the city's exceptional greenery, and its proximity to a nearby nature reserve, rich in biological resources, the city's development into a survival base was abandoned by higher authorities. However, precisely because of this, the animals living in the city generally have no worries about food and water, while humans face a more difficult life.
…
The rabbits come and go with great fanfare.
This directly affected the entire neighborhood. In the past, there would be a few ferocious beasts that would smell the scent of humans and come to hunt. But this time, by the end of the harvest, there was not a single one.
This also caused everyone to dig carrots extremely quickly. The work that was originally planned to be completed at four or five o'clock in the afternoon was finished just after noon.
The red carrots were tied in bundles with hemp ropes, and not a single carrot leaf was wasted. After being tied up, everyone put them on the cart.
Xia Runrun sat on Egg Yolk's back and watched the people around her take the initiative to put the two large baskets of carrots and six large bags of rabbit fur given to her by the little rabbits on the cart. She felt a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged man pushing the cart was so cold that his face turned red. He rubbed his hands and smiled with his big white teeth. "Xia girl, you are really amazing! I have never seen a girl as amazing as you. How old are you? You can actually subdue a powerful mutant cat. Even those mutant rabbits that rushed over aggressively before were easily subdued by you and handed over as tribute. You are really amazing!"
As if he felt that what he said was not true enough, the uncle raised two thumbs up and made a gesture to Xia Runrun, saying "You are so awesome."
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
Xia Ruanruan smiled awkwardly, Uncle, you really don't have to be like this...
What on earth were you thinking about when you were pulling out the carrots? Why are they even offering tribute? She's not some ancient emperor; the rabbits are clearly just a friendly donation.
"That's right! When those rabbits came over, the ground shook and they were filled with murderous intent. I almost scared myself to death!"
The person next to him patted his chest in an exaggerated manner, looking at Xia Ruanruan with a sigh on his face: "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the carrots and cabbages were no longer wanted, and instead they robbed carrots and cabbages from other places and sent them to me. Miss Xia is really amazing!"
The envious eyes, the grateful eyes, the curious glances that were cast on her from time to time, and the exaggerated words and actions made Xia Runrun blush.
No need, there's really no need to do this...
However, ever since I came to this world, I have heard Xia Ruanruan being called a cub, a little girl, or a little kid so many times that I never thought that it was just an accident, and it would eventually lead to the birth of another special name, 'Little Xia Girl'.
In fact, if Xia Runrun was not so young, the survivors around her would rather call her Miss Xia. Unfortunately, the little girl looked too young, and it felt weird to call her Miss.
…
Xia Runrun sat on the big orange cat and led the way, followed by the survivors and the remaining Yang Fan and the big golden retriever.
The group returned with a lot of food and vegetables harvested from the fields. As soon as they arrived at the shelter, they were welcomed by everyone. The elderly and children who stayed in the shelter today also came forward to help.
Xia Runrun saw Zhou Yiyang following behind Chef Gong in the crowd. The little boy was thin and small, and was extremely inconspicuous in the crowd, but he did not slack off at all when carrying carrots, and followed Chef Gong with gritted teeth.
However, when Yang Fan was unloading the cargo, he was troubled by the two large baskets of carrots and cabbages and the six sacks of rabbit fur that were brought back at the same time. He waved Xia Ruanruan over and asked, "Have you figured out what to do with the carrots and rabbit fur?"
Yang Fan thought Xia Ruanruan was a real child who didn't quite understand how to deal with carrots and rabbit fur, so he gave a brief description.
"These vegetables can be made into extra meals by the cafeteria chef, or they can be exchanged directly for vouchers at the shelter... so they don't spoil over time and become a waste."
"As for the rabbit fur... do you want to find someone to help wash and dry the fur first, and then make it into a quilt or other warm items? Winter has just begun. I saw that you didn't bring much luggage yesterday. With these warm items made of rabbit fur, winter should be much easier." Yang Fan said while pulling the big golden retriever's neck.
Although their shelter was built underground, minimizing the severe cold brought on by the drastic drop in temperature during winter, it didn't mean it wasn't cold inside. Perhaps it was a change in the flora and fauna, causing earthquakes and flash floods that had altered the terrain elsewhere, causing Xingyue City to be so much colder than usual in recent years.
"But... I don't think anyone in the shelter knows how to spin yarn or weave cloth, and no one knows how to twist the rabbit hair into even yarn. If it is finally made, it will probably be something like the down jackets and duvets we used to have." Yang Fan was afraid that the little girl didn't understand, so he gestured with his down jacket twice.
Although everyone in the shelter is now tanned and looks like a farmer, three years ago everyone lived in the city, and more than 95% of them had never touched a hoe.
I buy clothes online and in stores, and I get food delivered.
It would be too difficult for them to use rabbit hair to weave yarn and then make various complex clothes.
"Uncle Yang, I think a rabbit fur quilt would be great... I want to make one and use it as a cat bed for Egg Yolk." The little girl tilted her head back and smiled broadly at Yang Fan, her voice soft and sticky. "I can use those two baskets of carrots as payment!"
The slightly curly hair bounced automatically as the little girl tilted her head back. When her black and shiny eyes met Yang Fan's, they sparkled even brighter, as if containing the starry sky. Coupled with the slightly chubby and slightly red face, Yang Fan was suddenly struck by the soul of the child, and even his eyes seemed to be flashed for a moment.
Yang Fan: ...
Yang Fan swallowed his saliva dryly. He suddenly felt that as a rough man, he could understand what was wrong with those rabbits during the day...
Who wouldn’t like such a cute, soft, sensible and warm baby who will take the initiative to care for cats?
Yang Fan: Damn it! Today is another day where the whole world is trying to trick me into having a daughter!
Yang Fan: "Okay, then how about I ask your Grandma Yang to make you a soft cat mat... Let Grandma Yang handle the rabbit fur washing... I don't want these two baskets of carrots..."
The mortality rate was very high after the virus outbreak, but Yang Fan's family was lucky. Except that he was still a single dog without a girlfriend, his parents now lived with him in the shelter. He thought that since he had his own family hunting outside, his parents were busy in the shelter every day and always looking for work to do.
Yang Fan planned to go back and find some food from the prey he had caught, pretending it was his reward. Anyway, it was hard for him to accept food from such a little girl...
"How can that be possible?... Grandma Yang must be very tired with so much rabbit hair..." Xia Runrun had met Yang's mother when Tuantuan broke into the room last night. She was a woman in her 50s with a straightforward personality. The girl shook her head, not wanting to take advantage of her.
However, this little head just shook to the left -
Swish swish——
Crash--
Dengdengdeng——
A series of footsteps and heads turning were directed at Xia Ruanruan and Yang Fan.
Xia Runrun and Yang Fan were suddenly the focus of everyone's attention.
Xia Ruanruan: “?”
Yang Fan: “???”
"Brother Yang, Miss Xiaoxia! Put down the rabbit fur, put it down! I'll do it, I'll do it... I'll take care of all this! I'll make sure it's clean for you, and I won't take the food!"
"No, no, no! Miss Xia, please let our family come. Our wife is very diligent and washes very cleanly. I will wash it with my wife when the time comes... It will definitely be washed quickly and well, and it will also make you smell delicious!"
"No, no, no, no, Sister Liu, Brother Zhou... Aren't you two in your 30s? Rounding it off, you're almost 50... Why should we trouble you with this matter? Qiangzi, the third brother and I are young and strong now, and Miss Xiaoxia's work should be handed over to us! We don't want those two baskets of carrots either. We just love to serve the survivors and generate electricity for love!" The three young men patted their chests.
The others also talked a lot, saying that they were willing to help with the rabbit fur washing and sewing work for free.
Xia Ruanruan: “???”
A big question mark appeared on Xia Runrun's little head, and her little head tilted to the side unconsciously. She had no idea why these survivors around her who had originally spoken quietly suddenly came out and expressed their willingness to help her work for free.
But... isn't this right? ...
She remembered that her charm wasn't this great before. Although humans also have hair, they are also animals...
But it seemed that because she had too little hair, only a small tuft on her head, from childhood to adulthood, every time others saw her, they would at most compliment her by saying how cute she was. Sometimes, classmates who disliked her still disliked her.
Xia Ruanruan: "Uh..."
Could it be that my abilities in the other world have increased to the point where I can't even let go of a tuft of hair?
The little girl held her chubby little face in her hands, lost in thought.
Han Zhou, carrying a backpack, followed the team out for a walk, stepping deep and shallow as he came back from the wilderness in the heavy snow. He saw the little girl surrounded by people, and looked at the cats and dogs all looking down at the little girl with "loving" eyes, and at the people around who expressed their willingness to help the little girl for free.
Hanzhou: No... How come I didn’t know that everyone was so diligent before?
Han Zhou: No! I knew there was something wrong with that little girl! Not only does she attract mutant cats and dogs, but now she's even going after humans! With such a voracious appetite, isn't she afraid of breaking her teeth?! I can't take it anymore... wuwuwuwu... Why do I have to brave the snow to find wild vegetables... while others can still receive offerings from other mutant animals?
Han Zhou almost turned into a lemon tree after hearing that the little girl across the street went out to dig carrots and was robbed by a rabbit, but was finally given carrots and rabbit fur by the rabbit.
He subconsciously looked at his brothers in the surrounding team. The others also had their eyes wide open, and sour lemonade kept flowing out of their eyes. Woo woo woo... They also wanted the mutant animals to give them something.
This is truly a story that makes anyone who hears it sad and anyone who sees it cry.
"Me! I can help make cat mats and cat beds! My craftsmanship is very good... and I can design different styles! I used to be a worker in a top fashion design institute!" Han Zhou ran towards the center of the crowd like a fly, carrying a backpack full of wild vegetables, and shouted loudly.
Han Zhou: Was I attracted to that little girl? No! I definitely went there for the carrots! I love carrots, I really love carrots, I absolutely love carrots. I went there just for those carrots!
"Me! Choose me! I don't have to have those carrots!"
Everyone in the team: Hanzhou, something's wrong with you!
