In the evening, the adults all returned.
The Meng brothers bought a lot of supplies, but they couldn't find any domesticated mutant cow calves. They plan to go to Jiangcheng again soon when the weather is good.
Grandma Meng learned how to raise flying chickens, and when she saw the branches planted on the boundary of her territory, she praised Zhao Xiaoxiu highly.
"Our Xiaoxiu is really capable!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't dare to take all the credit, so she quickly said, "Actually, Sister Monkey and Youyou also helped."
Grandma Meng smiled with satisfaction, "Good, good, they are all capable and good children."
Zhao Gang unloaded the mutated animal carcasses that Aji and the others had brought back from the truck bed and placed them on an old door panel by the well. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was wearing a small apron and holding two knives, he bent down, gently bumped his forehead against his daughter's head, smiled contentedly, and said:
"Take your time, there aren't many mutated animal corpses today."
Sister Monkey carried a large wooden basin past the father and daughter cautiously, exuding a sense of stealth.
Zhao Gang glanced at it suspiciously, lingering on its rear end for two seconds, and then pointed out, "The fur next to its rear end is bald."
Upon hearing this, both the monkey and the child froze.
Fortunately, Zhao Gang didn't dwell on the issue any longer. Monkey Sister and Zhao Xiaoxiu exchanged a glance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The monkey and the baby tacitly concealed the fact that they had fought with centipede Harry during the day, and acted as if nothing had happened.
The Meng family mother and son felt that the monkey and the child were unusually quiet and well-behaved today. They glanced suspiciously at the bald patch next to the monkey's bottom and guessed that the child and the monkey might have done something harmless again today.
Zhao Gang knew what had happened at home during the day, but as long as his cub was alright, he didn't care.
However, Yang Mei was greatly surprised when she heard the guards recount what had happened.
I quickly wrote in my observation journal: "A child's body, with strength several times greater than an adult's—this is contradictory and doesn't conform to basic physics. Perhaps what I saw was only what He wanted me to see. Can we truly see His true form?"
......
It was completely dark.
Today, Aji and the others brought far fewer mutated animals than before, and Zhao Xiaoxiu only selected a little over eight pounds of delicious meat.
Aji was a little disappointed, but something was better than nothing. He took the usable parts of the mutated animal and carried the full bowl of eight pounds of good meat back to the patrol station.
The remaining 100-plus pounds of scrap meat and bones were about to be taken by Sister Monkey to the pond to feed Little Flying Man and the mutated blackback fish in the pond.
Unexpectedly, several lush green branches suddenly stretched out from the flower wall, like starving ghosts reincarnating, and with a few "whoosh" sounds, dragged all the remaining scraps of meat into the flower wall.
Before long, the pieces of meat, cut into tiny pieces by countless branches, fell to the ground. The roots, which were covered by thick soil, excitedly pushed out and shoved all the pieces of meat into the soil, waiting for them to decompose and become their nutrients.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey witnessed the whole thing and were a little surprised, and also felt a little guilty.
Almost forgot, the Green Fairy also needs nutrients to bloom more beautiful flowers.
"Next time Brother Aji and the others bring over the mutated animals, I'll save half for you," Zhao Xiaoxiu coaxed, lightly tapping the tender green branches that stretched out in front of her.
The tender branches happily twined around her fingertips, blooming into a small white rose, just like a rose ring on Zhao Xiaoxiu's finger.
As the flower ring slipped onto the girl's finger, the attached branch snapped off automatically and quietly retreated into the flower wall.
Zhao Xiaoxiu raised the flower ring on her left hand and admired the white rose over and over again in front of the light bulb hanging on the back door.
This is a gift from the Green Fairy; it can survive independently for three to five days.
When a rose is planted in the soil, its powerful reproductive ability will cause it to grow rapidly, perhaps forming a safe cocoon, a supporting cane for the flowers, or something else entirely.
Zhao Xiaoxiu lowered her head expectantly and gently kissed the rose petals. They were soft, silky, and incredibly cute!
Looking up, she saw the monkey sister staring at her with her two big eyes. "Squeak squeak!" Little one, don't you love monkeys anymore?
Zhao Xiaoxiu beckoned it closer, stood on tiptoe, and gave it a kiss on the furry monkey's face.
That's fair now, isn't it?
The monkey sister was overjoyed. She put her two thick arms under the baby's armpits, lifted it high in front of her, and puckered her big monkey mouth to kiss her several times.
Zhao Xiaoxiu, whose face was covered in spit: Sometimes, being speechless really makes it hard to laugh.
After expressing her love, Sister Monkey picked up the cub and took it home to cook.
The two had just taken a step when suddenly a spray of water poured down from above, soaking Monkey Sister from head to toe.
A large shadow fell from above, and the child and the monkey looked up at each other. A three-meter-long silver floating fish appeared in mid-air at some point, its two bean-sized fish eyes staring angrily at the monkey sister, full of hostility.
"Peter Pan, you can fly this far now?" Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed in surprise.
But for some reason, I felt inexplicably guilty, as if I had done something to wrong the fish.
A sense of grievance emanated from Peter Pan, who swam around in mid-air. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the big fish's tail slapped Monkey Sister on the head.
Monkey Sister has a temper that can't be tolerated at all. She put Zhao Xiaoxiu down and was about to jump up to catch the fish, her threatening roar echoing throughout the backyard.
Unfortunately, it couldn't fly. Peter Pan retreated towards the pond, and Sister Monkey chased after it on the ground. As it ran, it suddenly floated into the air, lost its balance, and crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.
The closer Peter Pan got to the water, the more pleased he became. He flicked his tail across the surface of the water, creating splashes. Seeing Monkey Sister's disheveled appearance with her fur all wet, his happy mood reached Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart, and Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but chuckle.
A roar came from the edge of the pond, followed by a "plop!" as Sister Monkey leaped up, slammed the fish in mid-air, and slammed them both into the pond.
Zhao Xiaoxiu, who had just been watching the show, suddenly felt a pang of fear. Had a real fight broken out?
She quickly chased after them to the edge of the pond, where Monkey Sister and Peter Pan were already fighting in the water. A few broken fish scales could be vaguely seen floating on the surface of the water, shimmering.
The commotion was so loud that everyone in the house was drawn over.
The splashing water and the two intertwined shadows in the water stunned the Meng mother and son.
A few golden-brown hairs floated to the surface of the water. Meng Er asked worriedly, "Won't Sister Monkey drown?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu, who should have been very anxious, was now squatting on the bank, shielding her eyes with her hand and carefully looking into the water. As she observed, she calmly said:
"Peter Pan can't activate his levitation magnetic field in the water, and in fact, he's no match for Monkey Sister in the water. However, land creatures aren't as good swimmers as the aquatic Peter Pan. If he holds his breath a little longer, Monkey Sister won't be able to hold on. Let her punch him a couple more times, otherwise..."
Before Zhao Xiaoxiu could even utter the four words "it's terrible," the situation changed instantly.
With a splash, Monkey Sister, who had kicked Peter Pan into the water for leverage, hurriedly climbed ashore.
Once it reached the shore, it tried to lift a large rock and throw it into the water, intending to stun the fish.
