A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

If you want to buy live animals to take back to raise, the place to go is of course a pasture.

Xiao Fengdi carried Fang Shiqing all the way to the ranch in the town with a confused face, and stuffed him directly in front of the counter of the ranch hut.

The ranch is run by a family of five, two couples with three children.At this time, it is the teenage daughter of the family who stands behind the counter and receives the guests.

A few puppies were chasing and having fun in the hut. They didn't know if they smelled something, and they spread their short legs and ran to the counter, circling the little girl.The little girl skillfully pushed them away with her legs, and continued to discuss business with Fang Shiqing.

"What do you want to buy? Feed? Tools? Oh... do you want to bring animals home? Laying hens? Okay, 500 yuan each, how many do you want to hold?" The little girl pointed to the price in front of the counter with a hearty smile There are signs on which clearly list the prices of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and various animals.

Probably because she often helps with the housework, although she is not tall, she looks healthy and strong, with an optimistic and cheerful smile on her face all the time.At first glance, she looks far more like a farmer than Fang Shiqing, who is slender and slender, and she is also orderly in her business.

It was obviously Xiao Fengdi who offered to come over before, but he didn't care about anything after entering the door. He squatted down on the open space at the door, concentrating on playing with the puppy, and threw Fang Shiqing himself in front of the counter.He seemed to have taken out something to eat, and bought all the puppies in twos and twos, and they circled around his feet one by one.

However, Fang Shiqing was too embarrassed to complain to the boss, and did not dare to express any objection, so he had to negotiate the price with the little girl honestly.

"Why don't you consider buying a pair? Buy a pair and get a [-]% discount, and free feed. If you buy three or more, you will get a [-]% discount."

"Uh, no, no need... just one."

Fang Shiqing looked at the price board, and then opened the personal status bar to look at the current amount of funds held, sweating on his forehead.He wanted to try bargaining, but he was not good at doing this, and his tongue got stuck for a while.

Just at this time, a half-sized three-colored cat just jumped up on the counter lightly, walked over without any pretense, and rubbed its head on his hand.

He endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, he stretched out his hand and stroked the cat from the head to the tip of the tail in one breath, and rubbed the kitten so that it meowed and collapsed on the counter, looking very happy.

"She seems to like you very much." The little girl was a little surprised. "She usually ignores everyone. I thought she was not loved by nature."

Fang Shiqing was a little embarrassed when he was petting cats in front of his owner: "I have met similar cats before." He also has a Sanhua stray cat downstairs in the real world. Mimi circling around his legs.

"Speaking of which, you have only moved here for two days. Are there no animals in the farm?" The little girl chatted with him skillfully.

"Yeah, it's just me right now, nothing else—um." Well, there's a yard of zombies and ghosts at night.

"Then you should buy two more. In such a big farm, there is nothing lively and deserted." The little girl bent down with a smile, and picked up a little puppy from her feet, "Buy a pair, They can also be companions when you buy them back, and they can also be companions with you."

... What if I buy a pair and get scared to death together?Are you company on the road to Huangquan?

"You buy a pair, how about I give you this puppy? You don't have any dogs on your farm, right? It's good to have one," the little girl said again, "These puppies are two My big dog was born a month ago, it is very well behaved, I took it back and raised it, and after teaching it, I can take care of the home."

At this time Xiao Fengdi suddenly interjected: "Okay, that's it. But don't want that one, but this one here."

Fang Shiqing looked back, and saw him standing behind with a black puppy in his arms - it was really pure black, with no stray hairs at all.

- black dog!Immediately, his mind was filled with the folklore of "black dog blood".

"Okay!" The little girl laughed immediately, "A pair is 900 yuan with a [-]% discount. I'll go to the yard and pick two for you. Do you want to take them away now, or I'll ask my brother to give them to you later?" Are you sending it to the farm?"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Fang Shiqing quickly pulled Xiao Fengdi away, and whispered, "Boss, I don't have that much money——"

"I'll make up half for you," he replied without looking up, "that's enough."

Xiao Fengdi's initial capital of 500 yuan should not be used much, and it can just be used to fill this gap.

The little girl accepted the money and happily brought out two chickens.Fang Shiqing wanted to struggle again: "But, buy so much at once, what if tonight..." If the two of them had an accident tonight, wouldn't the 900 yuan be in vain? !No matter who pays the money, it will be attributed to the loss of the task in the end. "After everyone sees the statistics tomorrow, how can we explain to them?"

Xiao Fengdi ignored him, but looked at the two chickens and frowned fiercely: "Didn't you say a pair? Why are they all female?"

Fang Shiqing could hardly catch his breath: "Because they are all laying hens..."

"Oh... can I have a cock instead?"

The little girl sized them up a few times with the eyes of a fool, then handed one of them to Fang Shiqing, and carried the other back to the backyard.

Fang Shiqing understood the meaning.If this is in reality, a chicken can only live for six or seven years. Of course, the farmers will raise some roosters as breeders, otherwise they will not be able to breed the next generation; but this is in the game, and the animals raised in the game are basically neither grow old nor die.Moreover, Qingliang Farm's chicken coops have limited space, so players don't need to breed. Instead of spending a lot of effort to raise the next generation of roosters, it is better to directly carry the laying hens back to feed them.

And according to the "Manual of Operations", if the player harms the raised animals without authorization, he will be punished to a certain extent. That is to say, the rooster cannot be killed and eaten. In this case, what is the use of raising a rooster? ?

"Of course it works," Xiao Fengdi said, "The rooster wards off evil spirits."

"..." Fang Shiqing was immediately speechless.

Although chickens are living creatures, they can also be placed in the inventory.Fang Shiqing put away a pair of poor chickens, then took the little black dog from Xiao Fengdi's hand and stuffed it in too.That puppy is quite obedient, no matter who it is in the hands of, it behaves very well, even if it barks occasionally, its attitude is not fierce.

At this time, it was almost time for the ranch to close down.The little girl sent them out, and just as the door was locked with her backhand, a black shadow slipped out quietly, jumped to Fang Shiqing's side, and grabbed his trousers—it was the three-colored cat from before.

"Huh? It seems that she really likes you!"

The little girl seemed to be in a good mood, she waved at him and said, "Why don't you take her back with you? It's for you."

"This, how sorry..." However, although he refused with his mouth, he hugged the cat honestly in his hands.

"It's okay, she is also a kitten born to our own big cat. Basically all the brothers and sisters in the litter have been given away, but she has never been given away. Since she is destined to be with you, I will give it to you."

In this case, he didn't refuse any more, and after thanking him, he wanted to stuff the kitten into the inventory as well.Unexpectedly, it struggled very hard, so I had to hold it in my arms temporarily.

When he reached the intersection, Fang Shiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Xiao Fengdi and said, "Boss, thank you very much this afternoon. I'll go back right away. That... money... I'll return it to you in two days."

"No need, the rooster is also what I want, so it's right that I bought it."

Xiao Fengdi walked past him while talking.Fang Shiqing was stunned, he walked a few steps and turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Uh...Boss," Fang Shiqing pointed to another fork in the road, "Where do we go back to the library?"

"Why should I go back to the library?" The other party said as a matter of course, "Didn't I say that I won't let your 500 yuan go to waste? And I am also very concerned about the situation of your farm. I will go there with you tonight and watch Let's see what happens."

"..."

■

— which is why, hours later, the two squatted side by side in the chicken coop.

After returning to the farm, Fang Shiqing hurriedly cleaned up the abandoned chicken coop, put the chickens in, and sprinkled the feed.Although this hut is dilapidated, and the facilities inside are almost rusted, but fortunately, the outer wall has not collapsed, and there is no air leakage, so it can be used after a little cleaning.

As for a cat and a dog, there is no other place to put them for the time being, so they have to stay in his own hut.He rummaged through the house, and managed to find two shallow dishes, and poured some water for them to drink; poorly, there was not even a single thing to eat on the one-third of an acre of his farm.

When leaving the house, he locked the door from the outside.The three-colored cat seemed very unhappy to be locked inside, scratching the door and meowing, and it took a long time before it calmed down.

Xiao Fengdi didn't even accept the invitation to sit in the house, but made up his mind and squatted directly in the simple chicken coop, as if he planned to stay like this for the whole night; he had no choice but to follow along.After all, as a host, you can't just leave your guests in the chicken coop overnight, not to mention that they are here to solve troubles for your farm.

It was almost night.

It was time for the animals to fall asleep. Two chickens stepped on the shelf, each hid their heads under their wings, and fell asleep comfortably; while the two sitting behind the big pile of straw were still holding their knees and staring at each other. Small eyes.

"Go back quickly," Xiao Fengdi said casually, pulling out two straw poles, "This is not like your residence, there is no magic circle I set up. Although zombies can't get in, ghosts can come in through the wall , so it’s not very safe. I’m fine here.”

Fang Shiqing shook his head with a tragic expression: "Boss, you have been guarding this kind of place. As the master, how can I abandon these two chickens!" This is not an ordinary chicken, but a walking 900 yuan chicken. money!

"..." Xiao Fengdi said, "Why are you so desperate for money? Although I can protect you to some extent, I don't have any tools on me, and my strength is limited, so I may not be able to ensure safety..."

Fang Shiqing said with a clear heart that there is nothing I can do about it.It's not that he doesn't believe the boss's promise, but...Xiao Fengdi doesn't seem to care about spending and earning money at all, he is only interested in ghosts; but he can't ignore it.

Although generally speaking, money is something outside the body, and it is not as important as life; but for example, now is the initial stage of starting a business, and if you lose such a large amount of assets right away, the consequences will be quite serious.It is better not to lose, or not to lose.

In addition...

"This...well, in short, I will trouble you, big brother. If ghosts really appear, can you give me some pointers?" He said with a shy face, "I know I probably can't help... But, like As you said during the day, one day in the future everyone will be forced to enter the [Dungeon] and have zero-distance contact with these monsters—then it’s better to get used to it earlier.”

"Alright then." Xiao Fengdi probably didn't bother to persuade him, so he simply agreed.

The two continued to wait in silence. After a while, the other party suddenly asked, "Did someone ask you to form a team these two days?"
