"Daddy~" Zhao Xiaoxiu ran towards her father with a bitter face, held out her bitten finger, and said aggrievedly, "Peter Pan bit me."
Zhao Gang pitifully blew on her finger, which was almost invisible from the injury, and said, "Okay, go home and change your clothes, or you'll get sick."
After saying that, he picked up the wet, injured cub and headed home.
A man's deep voice echoed across the territory.
"Xiaoxiu, all life born in the universe deserves reverence. We can never befriend another kind of life. You can only become stronger than them, and then use favors and methods to make them willingly submit to you..."
Zhao Xiaoxiu leaned against her father's warm chest, listening attentively. The grievances in her heart gradually disappeared, and her eyes became more confident.
She knew what to do.
The tiny floating fish must be tamed; she wants to ride it through the rain!
"Achoo!" Zhao Xiaoxiu sneezed again, snot flying out and sticking to Zhao Gang's shirt.
Zhao Gang looked down at the innocent-looking cub and sighed. How could his cub be so fragile?
Zhao Xiaoxiu caught a cold; she had a stuffy nose, was sneezing, and had a persistent low-grade fever.
Actually, given Zhao Gang's way of taking care of the child, she should have gotten sick long ago. The fact that she has managed to hold on until now is a result of her overall improved physical condition.
Zhao Gang neither fed her the tentacles nor went to the patrol station to exchange for special medicine.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was in pain all night, tossing and turning, her whole body drenched in sweat.
I endured it all night, and it miraculously healed on its own the next day.
Zhao Xiaoxiu got off the bed, bent over, and stretched her arms and legs, looking as refreshed as if she had never been sick.
Clean clothes were laid out on the bedside table. Zhao Xiaoxiu changed out of her sweaty clothes, washed her face, and took the dirty clothes downstairs.
The rain has stopped, it's a cloudy day, looks like it will clear up on Monday.
Zhao Xiaoxiu threw her dirty clothes into the basin in the bathroom, leaving the clothes to be washed by the vengeful tentacles.
She called out "Dad," and Zhao Gang's response came from the hall.
Zhao Xiaoxiu, holding a golden autumn pear in each hand, walked into the hall while eating and sat down next to Zhao Gang.
He was calling the patrol station to ask them to send over some needles, thread, and hardware.
The lock on the front door needs to be repaired, and the furniture that needs refurbishment also needs nails, hinges, and other parts.
Most importantly, he discovered that the cub's clothes and pants were too short, and he needed to make some new clothes for the winter.
Soon, the patrol team arrived.
The deliveryman, Aji, didn't understand Zhao Gang's behavior of asking for needles and thread, but he respected it.
After handing over the sewing kit he had brought, he asked with a grin, "Brother, could you mend my underwear for me while you're at it?"
Zhao Gang, who was checking the hardware accessories, looked over in confusion and said bluntly, "You have no sense of propriety."
Aji chuckled, "My underwear is made of good quality material, but it has a hole in it. It's a shame to throw it away. Brother, can you help me out?"
Zhao Gang remained silent, looking towards his front door, his meaning clear: get lost.
Aji grinned awkwardly at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was looking at him, and waved, "Bye-bye, Xiaoxiu."
"Goodbye, Brother Aji." Zhao Xiaoxiu waved politely and watched Aji drive away.
Why?
Why is there another person next to the territory?
"Brother Zhao!" Hao Ran stood outside the boundary of Territory No. 13, cupping his hand to his mouth like a megaphone, and asked loudly, "Can I come in?"
"Dad, Lord Number 11 is here to see you." Zhao Xiaoxiu went back to the living room to relay the message.
Zhao Gang heard the shouts outside, grunted in response, and gestured for the cubs to go play by themselves. He then put the hardware and needles and thread he had acquired in the tool room before going out.
Zhao Xiaoxiu shrugged, found a hoe, and led the mutated little purple flowers, which didn't seem likely to survive, to the dwarf pine tree, vowing to find a home for the purple flowers today.
Zhao Gang led Hao Ran in. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxiu digging the ground, Hao Ran warmly put down his basket, took the hoe from Zhao Xiaoxiu's hand, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to plant these flowers?"
"You can grow flowers?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise.
Hao Ran nodded, confirming that Zhao Xiaoxiu wanted to plant flowers. He immediately dug small holes in the original ditch, spread out the purple flowers, and planted them one by one.
In no time, all the plants were planted, forming a semicircle that surrounded the mutated dwarf pine.
Hao Ran clapped his hands and instructed, "This is a mutated emerald bead flower. After mutation, it will bloom at any time of year, blooming twice a year. The color is different in each season: white in spring and summer, purple in autumn, and red in winter. Just pay attention to watering and fertilizing after planting. It is very easy to take care of."
After all, it is a mutant species, and its vitality is extremely strong.
The father and daughter carefully wrote it down, and only after they were sure they had memorized it did they realize that Hao Ran was still standing to the side.
Zhao Gang seemed to only then remember him, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe~" Hao Ran had been waiting for this question, and asked tentatively, "Brother Zhao, can I come to your river to pick up some stones?"
Zhao Gang murmured, "Another person who has no sense of propriety."
"What?" Hao Ran didn't hear clearly and laughed nervously.
Zhao Gang waved his hand, "It's nothing." He gestured for Hao Ran to follow him.
Hao Ran was overjoyed and quickly slung his basket over his shoulder and followed. "Thank you, Brother Zhao. I'm so sorry to have troubled you."
Zhao Gang asked curiously, "What do you need the stone for?"
“I’m planning to build a wall,” Hao Ran said worriedly. “My house isn’t as nice as yours, and it’s on the edge of Block B, next to barren hills and piles of rocks. I won’t feel safe sleeping at night without a wall.”
Besides, winter is just around the corner, and their place is completely bare. With no walls around them, the north wind will blow, and it will definitely be freezing cold.
Unfortunately, the rocks piled up near his territory were too large, and he didn't have the tools to break them, so he set his sights on the stones by the river.
After thinking it over, I decided to be more familiar with Zhao Gang, so I shamelessly went to his door.
Hao Ran had always thought that Zhao Gang was a good person.
His prediction was right; Brother Zhao is a really good person.
He was allowed to pick up any stones by the river without asking for any payment. He was just asked to tell him his wall-building techniques, which made Hao Ran even more embarrassed.
Zhao Gang designated an area for Hao Ran, telling him to do as he pleased and go home to continue working in the tool shed.
Zhao Xiaoxiu packed two golden autumn pears from the dining table, found a fishing rod in the woodshed, and stormed over to the pond.
She was determined to tame this fish in the pond today.
Not far away, Hao Ran, who was picking up stones by the river, saw the little girl standing by the pond and waved to her in a friendly manner.
Zhao Xiaoxiu responded by raising her pole.
The next second, he struck the calm water with a rod and started blasting fish.
After a few swings, water splashed everywhere, and the entire pond became violently agitated. Startled, the floating fish surfaced, only to be immediately struck on the head and slammed back into the water.
The suspended fish seemed a bit confused, hiding underwater for a long time without surfacing.
Zhao Xiaoxiu broke the pear flesh into pieces and sprinkled it in; the sweet aroma drew out the floating fish.
But before it could even open its mouth, Zhao Xiaoxiu poked it with the stick in her hand again.
In an instant, Zhao Xiaoxiu saw a human-like astonishment in the eyes of a pair of fish.
