A low-level mutated frog, it might actually be edible!
The lords exchanged a quick glance, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.
No need to say anything, just do it.
So, when Zhao Xiaoxiu ran home, found her gun, and prepared to return to kill the mutated frog...
The mutated two-headed frog, which had been chasing after them in a rage, flicking its two long, blood-dripping tongues, had already died under the lords' concentrated firepower.
The dead two-headed frog had a layer of light brown, strangely smelling mucus still clinging to its vivid green skin. Its long, bleeding tongue hung limply from its mouth, and corrosive liquid gushed out, scorching the snow on the ground and emitting a pungent white smoke.
Faced with such a frog-like body, the lords' eyes were filled with anticipation, longing, and a desire to eat!
Zhao Xiaoxiu, who arrived late, was deeply hurt by the reactions of the adults in front of her. She moved her short legs and stumbled back five meters away.
The Jiang couple, who rushed over after hearing the commotion, were also shocked by the condition of the frog before them.
Liu Chuan looked fine, but Jiang Ning took a big step back, frowned, and turned his head to one side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his daughter, who had secretly followed him out, standing behind a pillar at the entrance on the first floor. Her face, which had finally regained its rosy hue over the past few days, turned deathly pale. He quickly waved her in.
Liu Miaomiao shook her head, then mustered her courage and whispered, "Xiaoxiu!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up in surprise and saw Sister Miaomiao. She promptly grabbed the hoverboard and small shovel she had just dropped and ran to her side.
Two little girls held hands and stood behind a pillar watching the adults deal with the two-headed frog.
The mutated frog was disgusting, but when Zhang Lijun and the others took out the testing device, a faint green light appeared, indicating that it was just a mutated species with a very low degree of mutation.
"I feel like it will taste delicious," Bai Cailing said excitedly.
Wenfei, who was at odds with her, surprisingly did not refute her.
Hao Ran, who had just run to the back hillside to use the restroom and was only now returning, squeezed into the crowd and excitedly said, "I'll go call Brother Zhao!"
No one objected. Although the frog was killed by everyone working together, the lord's word was law within the territory.
However, they wouldn't agree if Zhao Gang wanted to keep the frog for himself.
Hao Ran quickly pulled Zhao Gang, who was planing wood, over and asked him to take charge of how to deal with the frog.
Compared to the excitement of the other lords, Zhao Gang's reaction was quite calm, even though his cub had just been chased all over the place by this mutated frog.
Zhao Gang glanced at the frog and was secretly pleased; it was a juvenile frog that could be eaten.
“You take half, and give me the other half,” he said.
Everyone remembered the two iron shovels Zhao Xiaoxiu had just used, and without objection, they agreed to Zhao Gang's plan.
So those who had knives took them, and those who didn't helped out, and they began to cut the meat.
Bai Cailing somehow obtained several narrow-mouthed glass bottles and used a glass rod to collect the corrosive liquid left in the mouths of the mutated frogs.
Noticing her action, Wenfei clicked her tongue in disgust and said, "That's disgusting."
Bai Cailing disagreed and said cheerfully, "Such a strong corrosive liquid must be useful."
Even if she doesn't need it herself, she can still take it to the supply station and ask if they will recycle it.
"Oh, right! Keep all the frog skins you don't want for me. We can make them into medicine later, and everyone can get a share."
Fearing that people might find the slime on the frog skin repulsive and throw it away, Bai Cailing quickly reminded them.
The group looked at her speechlessly, skeptical of using frog skin as medicine.
But he still gave all the frog skins to Bai Cailing.
Qiu Bai discovered the frog, so she was involved in it, and the young couple shared a portion of it.
The Jiang couple arrived later, and since everyone gets a share, Zhao Gang gave them a small piece. The couple were both surprised and delighted.
The mutated frog needed to be cleaned. Jiang Ning and Qiu Bai, who lived close by, offered to provide basins and buckets for cleaning. They also had their husbands fetch water and filtered two buckets of water for everyone to use, despite feeling bad about the cost.
Zhang Lijun and others, who had previously been amused by the newcomers, suddenly became much more amiable towards the two new families.
The adults were busy distributing the mutated frogs, while Zhao Xiaoxiu, seeing no role for herself, led Liu Miaomiao to the doorway to shovel snow and build a big snowman.
Of course, it was mainly Zhao Xiaoxiu who did the work.
Because Liu Miaomiao shivered from the cold after only shoveling a couple of times, Zhao Xiaoxiu was afraid she would catch a cold again, so she had her stand under the eaves to cheer herself up and keep her company.
Zhao Xiaoxiu shoveled the snow onto the floating platform. Once it was full, she dragged it to the doorway and piled it up. Then she turned around and repeated the action to collect enough snowflakes.
Halfway through shoveling, I got tired and wanted to call Sister Monkey to be my free helper.
But no matter how many times I called "Sister Monkey, Sister Monkey!", she didn't come over.
They were busy fertilizing the jujube seedlings and crops in the greenhouse with the newly collected fertilizer, and had no interest in building a snowman at all.
Zhao Xiaoxiu snorted and went back to rest under the eaves for a while before continuing.
Liu Miaomiao immediately ran back into the house, brought out a long, low stool, and the two sat side by side. She sang to Zhao Xiaoxiu, and after listening, she felt refreshed.
Liu Miaomiao sang a tune Zhao Xiaoxiu had never heard before, a children's song from her hometown of Jiangning. The melody was high-pitched, like a work chant, which contrasted sharply with Liu Miaomiao's thin appearance. It was funny yet full of energy. Zhao Xiaoxiu clenched her fist and felt herself regain her strength.
"Go Xiaoxiu! You're the best, Xiaoxiu!" After finishing the song, Liu Miaomiao continued to cheer on Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Hearing the encouragement from her older sister, Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed and shoveled away, quickly moving all the snow she needed under the eaves.
Building a snowman doesn't feel cold. Zhao Xiaoxiu and Liu Miaomiao each have a shovel and pile up the snow.
Not being tall enough, Zhao Xiaoxiu stepped onto a high stool to continue operating, with Liu Miaomiao helping her from below, watching with trepidation.
However, it was still too short, so Grandpa Jiang helped put the snowman's head on.
The two-meter-tall snowman is chubby and round, wearing a hat made of a bucket, with eyes embedded in stones, a nose made of a sharpened wooden stick, and a mouth made of a strip of wet mud, forming a smiling face.
After finishing Liu Miaomiao's house, the two girls went to Zhao Xiaoxiu's house and made a three-meter-long enlarged version.
This time, Monkey Sister deserves credit. She's strong and rolled two snowballs from the size of a fist to the height of a person. All the snow in front of and behind the house was on this one snowball, and she also cleared a path for it.
Two huge snowballs were stacked together, so big that you could reach the top of the snowman's head from the second-floor balcony.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Liu Miaomiao were completely stunned. The two of them huddled together and suddenly had a brilliant idea. They begged Sister Monkey to build another slide, the kind that would allow them to slide directly from the balcony to the first floor.
Sister Monkey patted her chest and roared twice, "No problem, I've got this covered!"
Night fell, accompanied by the aroma of food rising from the territory.
Once Zhang Lijun and the others received their share of frog meat, they couldn't wait to go home.
The remaining people, including Zhao Gang and Jiang Ning, stewed a pot of fragrant frog meat in Zhao Gang's backyard.
As soon as the meat was cooked, Zhao Gang and Liu Chuan were about to call the children over to eat when they were surprised to find that the large patch of snow in front of the house had been cleared away.
On the wall to the left of the gate, there was a hill made of snow.
