Chapter 81
The village was in chaos, but Ying Huai was living a peaceful life and had the mood to think about the differences between today's sunshine and yesterday's.
Hearing the sound of a child crying loudly, Ying Huai shook the leaves and turned over the leaves that were closest to the sound.
These little brats, if we don't give them a big fight today, they might cause some serious trouble in the future.
In the past, even if they caused trouble, as long as they knew they were wrong, the adults in the family would still be able to clean up the mess.
But now it’s different. If they go out to cause trouble, they are not necessarily causing trouble for the adults, but are risking their own lives.
So even though Ying Huai couldn't beat the children himself, after he found out what the children had done, he directly called the adults in the family who could help.
Come on, why is this kid still running around after being spanked?
Hey hey hey, that adult, you hit the wrong kid~
Why can't the little brat distinguish today? Don't you want to distinguish with adults?
The adults were beating the children at the village entrance, and the aunts and Ying Huai were watching the fun from the side, which made the village entrance, which had been quiet for many days, suddenly become lively.
The final result, of course, was that a bunch of children were tied under the locust tree again.
After looking at the children tied to his tree for a while, Ying Huai turned around to look at the group of mutant wild ducks still waiting outside the village entrance. They had not left yet and obviously wanted an explanation.
"Godmother, what should we do now?"
Ying Huai's reminder came to their minds. Several adults who had rushed over had just finished taking care of their children. Now, after tying the sobbing child to the godmother, they turned around to look at the mutant duck still wandering outside the village entrance and asked for advice.
The ducks outside are all mutated. Even if they want to compensate them, it depends on whether others need it.
The situation is that the mutant wild ducks don’t necessarily need what they have now, but their children have really provoked them. If they don’t deal with it, they may be attacked by the mutant wild ducks whenever they leave the village in the future.
Although they don't want to think too badly, this is the most likely thing to happen.
Animals' IQs increase after mutation, and many of their behavioral norms are comparable to those of humans. After all, their IQs have increased, so it's not surprising that they can now think of many things they couldn't think of before.
Moreover, before the changes in heaven and earth, there had been cases where humans had offended animals and were chased and retaliated against by them.
The better ones would just stand at the door and curse for half a year, but those with a stronger sense of revenge would bite people half to death in the street even at the risk of their own lives.
If they don't handle the situation well this time, it's possible that the entire village will be retaliated against in the future.
Thinking of this, the adults in several families wanted to turn around and beat the children again.
"Don't stand here, stand aside."
The village chief arrived late at this time.
He had heard the news from Captain Qing before, so when he first heard an adult beating a child at the village entrance, he thought about walking faster. After he knew why the child was being beaten, he walked slowly.
As a result, when he arrived at the village entrance, the adults had finished beating the children and were discussing how to give an explanation to the mutant wild ducks that were still squatting outside and watching closely.
"This is definitely going to send the other person's duck baby back."
The village chief said this, pointing his finger at the mutant duck eggs that had been placed aside.
"I don't know what these kids were thinking. They were attacked all the way and were screaming for help on the way back. Didn't they realize that this was because they stole the duck baby?"
An auntie nearby spoke in a low voice, her eyes fixed on a group of children tied to a locust tree nearby.
"We did notice the situation at first, but before we could react, the wild ducks rushed over. We didn't dare to stop and release them on the road, so we could only carry them back."
Shitou had been beaten so many times that even though he spoke with a tearful tone now, he could still answer the aunts' questions.
"Why would you even think of provoking these mutant ducks?"
It would be troublesome to provoke one or two of them, after all, they are mutant animals.
"Those mutant wild ducks have abilities. If Shitou and the others hadn't been carrying wild duck eggs, they probably wouldn't be able to come back now."
The village chief also learned some information from Ying Huai at this time. He turned his head to look at Shi Tou and reached out to knock him on the forehead.
This kid gets beaten every time he gets into trouble. Now they are just lucky. Why can't they be more obedient?
"I didn't expect there would be so many mutant ducks over there."
When Shi Tou took his friends out, he thought that there might be mutant animals there, but when he thought that he could communicate with the mutant animals and there wouldn't be any big problems, he took the children out without hesitation.
As I said, Shi Tou's ability brought him convenience from the beginning. He had a very smooth journey and had never met anyone who didn't fall for his tricks, so this time his defeat was so obvious.
It’s a good thing that he encountered setbacks at this time. If he had grown up a little bit and had more confidence in himself, and led the villagers up the mountain, and encountered something like this, it would have been a really bad ending.
Obviously, the village chief and Stone's father also realized this.
So this time, when Stone's father beat Stone, he used all his strength to beat him. He had to teach the kid a lesson so that he would remember it and not be so conceited in the future.
Obviously, Shitou knew what his father meant, so even when he was tied to Ying Huaishu from behind, he had no intention of resisting and let his father tie him up obediently.
Up to now, there is no sign of wanting to move around, and he is really reflecting on himself seriously.
They were really lucky to be able to come back so intact this time, and it was also thanks to the dogs that Shitou brought out of the village.
The dogs walking in front tried to find the easiest path for the children to run on, and the ones following behind would try to block the mutant ducks when they attacked.
"There are so many things you haven't thought about. Reflect on yourself. If you continue to behave like this, don't play with the children in the village. I'm afraid you might even get your life in trouble if you bring them along."
Shi Tou's father was standing by and blocked whatever Shi Tou wanted to say.
These were very serious words. Looking at Shitou lowering his head and blaming himself, Shitou's father turned around without saying a word of comfort.
At Shitou's age, he is already old enough to understand some things. He should know that he can't do anything based on his own ideas, and everything will go his way.
"Think before you do anything in the future."
After saying this last sentence, Stone Dad turned around and followed the village chief, ready to find a way to make compensation.
The children who were tied with him beside the stone were silent, with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.
[First, go home and get a container of water to soak these wild duck eggs.]
Ying Huai gave the order only after he saw that the children had finished teaching them a lesson.
Although these mutant duck eggs are terrestrial, due to the special nature of their abilities, they need to be in water when hatching. Only by feeling the touch of water from a young age can they better apply their abilities in the future.
Obviously, although it was the first time for the parents of these ducklings to be mutant ducks, they still put them into the water according to their instinct.
Normal hatching is not impossible, it can be done, but the application of the ability may be more difficult than other ducks.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The first thing Shitou's father did when he heard Ying Huai's order was to turn around and run to the house nearest to the village entrance to get a basin of water.
Most of the villagers knew something about what was happening here. Some were busy with their own things and didn't come, but they would find out from others later anyway.
Some people didn't come to see it closely, but they could get a general idea just by standing at home and looking outside.
Now seeing Shitou's father coming over, he looked a little anxious, but didn't say much and just asked him to pick up the basin and bucket himself.
"Thank you, I'll return it to you later."
Father Shitou picked out the largest basin that looked big enough to hold the mutant wild duck eggs, filled it with most of the water, and turned to head towards the village entrance.
When they arrived at the place, they carefully placed the duck eggs on the ground that Ying Huai had protected with his power into the basin of water.
After finishing all this, he finally felt relieved.
After Ying Huai saw that he had put all the wild duck eggs away, he put his spiritual power into a leaf and threw it down. It just happened to float on the water in the basin.
The spiritual power in this leaf will slowly radiate out. Compared with the spiritual energy in the reed marsh, Ying Huai's targeted spiritual power is obviously better.
The flock of wild ducks that were blocked far away outside had been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing this, they sensed the breath signal coming from the wild duck eggs, and the flock of wild ducks that had been a little restless slowly calmed down.
They chased them so closely before because they were afraid that the ducklings would not hatch properly and would have difficulty surviving in this mutated world after hatching.
But now with Ying Huai's spiritual power, such a problem obviously will not arise, so they are not as excited as before.
"Godmother, are we sending these wild duck eggs back now?"
[Yes, it needs to be sent back, but sending it back alone won't be enough to satisfy the mutant ducks. Wait a minute, Ali and Hu Hu will be back soon. I'll give them some compensation after they come back. That should be enough.]
Ying Huai spoke briefly while sensing the current location of Ali and Hu Hu. He felt relieved only after confirming that they were not far from Daxi Village.
The abundance of spiritual energy this time has obviously upgraded the mine that is closer. The spiritual stones brought back by Ali and Hu Hu are better than what Ying Huai sensed from Uncle Xiao at the beginning, and the aura of the spiritual stones is purer.
"Okay, godmother."
At first, Shitou Dad and the others didn't understand why they had to wait for Ali and Hu Hu to come back, but when they realized, they realized that the two of them had gone out because their godmother had asked them to do so.
I guess Ali and Hu Hu brought back what their godmother wanted.
It's not surprising that they guessed this, Ying Huai never thought of hiding anything.
Ali and Hu Hu were very fast. When Ying Huai sensed them before, they were still some distance away from the town at the foot of the mountain, but now they have reached the town in a short while.
These two big cats are not unfamiliar to people in the town at the foot of the mountain.
In other words, anyone in the town who didn't have enough living expenses at home and wanted to go to the foot of the nearby mountain to find some wild vegetables to eat had seen Alihuhu from afar or near.
Because the plants have mutated and there is no better supply source on the market, the vegetables you buy are all priced high. Those who want to eat vegetables but cannot afford them can only go to the foot of the nearby mountain to find wild vegetables to eat.
Fortunately, the special rescue team had previously cleaned up all the dangerous mutant animals and plants in the surrounding area, and the defense team maintained it well. Otherwise, the town might not necessarily let residents go out to find wild vegetables to eat, after all, it is dangerous outside.
"The big cat is going up the mountain."
A man who was digging wild vegetables looked up and saw Ali and Hu Hu running up the mountain, and whispered something.
Seeing that the big cat ran away and had no intention of harming the weak human, he lowered his head and continued to look for edible wild vegetables.
We're already in the mountains, it's almost like going home.
Ali and Hu Hu gradually slowed down, and when they were about to reach Daxi Village, they were no longer running very fast, and looked like ponies running with a clattering sound.
Seeing Ali's somewhat smug look, Ying Huai found it a little funny.
When Ali got closer, he saw a group of children tied up under the tree, reflecting on their mistakes, and a group of mutant ducks waiting outside the village entrance.
When Ali saw the flock of ducks, he thought they were prey that had come to his doorstep. He was about to go forward and pick up two of them, but was stopped by Ying Huai with his quick eyes and hands.
"Huaihuai, you are so kind. Now that they have come to my door, you should just let me eat them."
Ali withdrew his gaze with regret, carrying the bulging bag on his back and walked towards Ying Huai.
