The little water snake couldn't wait to continue reporting as if it was presenting a treasure.
[A rat snake lady in the village said she often saw that uncle moving bottles and jars to the cemetery. He hid them so well!]
Xia Zhining opened her eyes wide in surprise.
I didn’t expect that the little water snake even knew the exact location where the antiques were hidden!
Hiding things in a grave is really something unique.
She quickly took out some dried fish to reward it: "Great! Thank you for your hard work, our little hero!"
The squirrel brothers rushed to Xia Zhining, their fluffy tails sweeping her trouser legs excitedly.
"Sister! We need information too!" The younger brother stood up straight. "The chicken ladies in the village said they can help, but there's one condition—you have to buy them all and take them away!"
Brother Song Keke then added, "We counted them, there are probably over a hundred!" and made an exaggeratedly large circle with his little paw.
Xia Zhining couldn't help laughing: "No problem!"
The reward for this case is much more than buying a hundred chickens.
[And more,] Song Baobao lowered his voice, [The village ox brother said there are too many mosquitoes in the summer. They are always circling around him, and he is so itchy that he can't sleep...]
Xia Zhining immediately pulled out a small green jar from her bag. "This is my special herbal ointment. It's very effective in repelling mosquitoes and isn't irritating."
She carefully reminded him, "Remember to help Brother Niu apply it evenly on his ears and back."
"Oh, sis!" Song Keke suddenly remembered something. "The donkey guy at the village entrance said grinding the mill was too tiring and he wanted to come work at our zoo..."
"You're welcome!"
Xia Zhining smiled and rubbed the squirrel's head. "Working at the zoo is much easier. The city kids have never seen a donkey. Uncle Donkey just needs to be there and model for photos every day."
Xia Zhining watched the furry backs of the squirrel brothers hopping and disappearing at the end of the ridge, her heart beating like a rabbit.
Another hour passed.
Just as she was staring at the dashboard in a daze, two furry figures shot into the car window like cannonballs.
Song Baobao excitedly danced on her schoolbag: [Promised! The chicken aunties said they'll take care of it!]
Tubu imitated the flapping of a hen's wings. [The hen ladies said that if they could just keep them from being stewed, they would lay double-yolked eggs for the director every day!]
Song Keke collapsed into a blanket, panting: [Brother Niu...Brother Niu asked me to pass on a message...]
It suddenly rolled over, puffed out its cheeks, and began to make the gruff noise of a buffalo. "Brother Niu said, don't worry, Director! Our Niu family army will squat in his cornfield tonight!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his paws awkwardly. "Um... can you give me two more bottles of ointment? My lover said my itchiness is much better after using it..."
Xia Zhining couldn't help laughing and took another bottle of ointment.
Song Baobao then relayed what Uncle Donkey had said: "Ugh! Tell the director! I don't want any wages! I never thought that after doing all this hard labor for so long, I'd be able to become a male model one day!"
Song Keke was stifling laughter and doing somersaults. [Uncle Donkey said he only needed to provide food, but he insisted on keeping his hair in the middle every day!]
Xia Zhining also had a stomachache from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.
At this moment, Ji Shuyun said, "Ningning, Captain Yang has already arranged for someone to come over. Let's wait for the main force to arrive and then take action immediately."
The smile on Xia Zhining's face disappeared and she suddenly became nervous. This was her first time participating in arresting someone!
