A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

At 25:[-] in the morning, Xiao Fengdi was about to leave the house.

If he started now, at his normal pace, he should arrive at Qingliang Farm in the west at around ten o'clock in the morning; this should be a time when he would not be annoying to visit.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fang Shiqing rushed into the library like a gust of wind, almost bumping into him.

"Uh, boss, are you going out?" He raised his head and greeted hurriedly, "Oh, don't worry about me, I'm just looking for a book—"

As he spoke, he hurried to the reading room.

"..." Xiao Fengdi said, "I'm not going out. I was going to look for you, but now you've come—"

However, Fang Shiqing plunged into the reading room and didn't hear the second half of his sentence at all.

"——what else am I going to do?"

He sighed and finished speaking in silence.

——It's like this again.

The ambiguous and intimate words were avoided by the other party again.

It may be considered a coincidence that the same thing happens once or twice, but every time it happens, it will inevitably make people doubt themselves.

He felt that he had done enough hints, hinting to the point of crossing the line, but the other party always pretended nothing happened, or avoided all this in a very clever way.

Is this intentional? ——Did you use this method to politely refuse after knowing his thoughts?

He sometimes thinks that at this time, he should probably take a step back wisely.Under the premise that the other party has no intention, excessive chasing will only cause trouble for others, and in the end, maybe even friends will not be made.

But he didn't want to just give up.Every time he sees the other person, facing those eyes that seem to be unable to hide any emotions, he can't help thinking—maybe the way he expresses is too subtle, and the other party really doesn't realize it?

After all, they've only known each other for a month, he thought.Even if too many things happened this month, enough to make strangers become close comrades-in-arms, if you want to develop a more intimate relationship-romance relationship, or even go further-it is obviously too much for mere 30 days. Not enough to watch.

Maybe it was because the acquaintance time was too short that the other party could not understand what he meant.A person like Fang Shiqing probably couldn't imagine that a man who had just known him for a month would want to develop a closer relationship with him.

So he didn't want to give up; at least when he could still see hope, he didn't want to be intimidated by his brain power.If one day he really gave up, it would have to be after being explicitly rejected by the other party.

Therefore, after sighing lightly, he immediately followed into the reading room and came to Fang Shiqing's side.

"What book are you looking for? Let me help you."

Fang Shiqing rushed into the library and desperately searched for books related to "animal breeding" on the shelves, especially those related to sheep.He took them all down and rummaged through them one by one, trying to find a scientific way to explain the abnormal phenomenon of the sudden increase in his trembling sheep.

"What book are you looking for?" Xiao Fengdi followed up and asked, "I'll help you."

"I'm not too sure," he smiled wryly, and whispered, "Maybe it has something to do with sheep?"

"……sheep?"

"Ah."

Fang Shiqing looked around, there was no one else in the library except them.But he still pulled Xiao Fengdi out of the door, and then explained, "Boss, have you seen the trembling at my house? This morning, there was an almost identical little friend beside it. I really doubt that it is mitotic." gone."

"..." Xiao Fengdi said, "I guess they came from someone else's house. Your house is not too far from the pasture. Didn't you take the extra animals there to ask?"

Normal people should think so after hearing about such things.

But, "impossible," he said firmly, "don't look at the straight-line distance from the ranch to my farm is not too far, but these two buildings are distributed on different maps. Animals in the game have no ability to switch maps by themselves , so it must not have come in from the outside.”

Xiao Fengdi roughly understood what he meant, and didn't say anything after that. He just went into the reading room, and after a while, he took out an old book and handed it to him.

"This is... huh?"

Fang Shiqing took it and found that it was an "Illustrated Book of Animals".Each page is accompanied by a picture, and the basic attributes of the animal are indicated next to it, including basic attack power, defense power, and skills. It looks quite like the "Monster Illustrated Book" that is common in RPGs.

He flipped through it casually, and found that the content inside was quite comprehensive, not only recording all kinds of common livestock and poultry, but also a lot of basic information about wild animals in the mountains.

After searching carefully, he successfully found the information about Doudouyang on it.What is its scientific name "Northern Mutant Dwarf Red-headed Sheep", with attack power of 20, defense power of 7, intelligence of 2, impressively written in the skill column - "Passive Skill - Calling Friends: A small probability of summoning a similar kind"...

"..."

So, the No. [-] Jijiu on the farm was... Shijiu summoned by accident?

Why does any sheep have skills?This is not a business simulation game but a role-playing game, right? !

"How is it?" Xiao Fengdi asked immediately after seeing the change in his face.

"……fine."

Calm down and think about it, this is not a bad thing, but a big deal that fell from the sky... It is equivalent to getting a full-grown wool sheep for nothing without doing anything.

Xiao Fengdi did not show surprise at the fact that "animals also have skills and attributes". He probably has no concept of "what the game should be like", so he can accept everything instead.

Fang Shiqing tried his best to calm down, and continued to look at the illustrated book in his hand.

He found that the animals he has come into contact with so far have names on them: for example, the domesticated Xiao Hei, whose name on the illustration book is "Black Pastoral Dog", whose skill is to help expel intruders from the farm; another example is the group of little hens who can lay eggs Chickens, their passive skill is to produce an egg every day. The quality of the egg is positively related to the level of the hen, and the level of the hen is related to the quality of the feed and the favorability of the owner.

After looking at the part about domestic animals, he turned over the part about wild animals.There are many kinds of animals in the illustrated book, from small hares, to flying crows, to large wild deer and wild boars, almost all of them have names.

Looking at the rabbit on the illustrated book, Fang Shiqing recalled the delicious rabbit meat he had eaten before, and immediately swallowed.

"Boss, let's go to the neighboring town next month," he said involuntarily, "Maybe there are hunting guns on the black market in the neighboring town. With guns, we can go hunting too. , cough, there is meat to eat."

Regarding the situation of the "black market", he had explained to Xiao Fengdi before, but he only said that there were all kinds of goods there, and did not go into the details of buying guns.

"—Do you want to eat meat?" Xiao Fengdi grasped the point at once.

Fang Shiqing felt ashamed for a while, but he could only honestly admit: "...I still want to eat."

"Which one do you want to eat?" Xiao Fengdi pressed the page of the book at once, "Tell me, I'll get it back for you."

He took it for granted, Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said: "Boss, can you hunt? Do you have a hunting gun?"

"You don't have to use firearms to catch game. Traps and traps are enough to deal with most wild animals." Xiao Fengdi said, "I often go to the mountains in the east. The vigilance of animals here is far less than in reality. Good catch."

"—Do you often go to the mountains in the east?"

Having said that, Fang Shiqing remembered that during the Arbor Day, he ran to the mountain over there in private.

But Xiao Fengdi obviously didn't want to talk about it.

"Hmm. So which one do you want? That's it?" He pointed to the rabbit on the open page.

"No, no, I don't want it for the time being. Even if we catch the game back, we won't be able to cook it for the time being." Fang Shiqing realized that the boss was telling the truth, and quickly refused, "Let's talk about it later——"

Xiao Fengdi looked at him: "Isn't it enough to cook wild game with seasoning? You can set up a temporary shelf in the wild and roast it directly. I did this once last month, and it feels good. Or do you not like it? barbecue?"

"..."

As soon as the word "barbecue" came out, Fang Shiqing's mind was filled with the barbecue meat hanging on the wooden rack in the film and television works. The skin was golden and crispy, and the fat was bubbling out, brushed with prepared sauce, sprinkled with cumin...

He gave in in a second: "... I love to eat."

Although he has hardly eaten it, he has already made himself greedy just by imagining it.

Xiao Fengdi relaxed a little, and smiled slightly: "That's good, I'll bring it back for you next time."

Fang Shiqing was shaken by his smile, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.The strange feeling that had been suppressed yesterday resurfaced again, and he couldn't help thinking, why did the other party look so happy?Is this something to be happy about?

He returned the book to the other party in a disguised manner, turned his head and said, "Thank you, big brother, for your help, then... I'll go back now."

"En." Xiao Fengdi paused, and followed him out, "I'll go there with you."

"...Huh?" Fang Shiqing was taken aback, "Are you going to my side?"

"Inconvenient?" He stopped immediately, "Forget it."

"No no, of course I'd be happy if you could come! Really!"

It wasn't until this time that he vaguely realized that the other party seemed to be going out when he entered the door—at that time, he must be going to the farm, right?

"If you don't want to, you can just say so." Xiao Fengdi looked at him, "For me, you don't need to force anything."

"It's really not forced." Fang Shi said with a clear heart, this is just a drop-in, why is willingness involved?It's not like marrying a girl by force in the old days.

The two returned to the farm together.Two trembling sheep—one aboriginal, one newly summoned little friend, probably tired from playing, are resting in the grass nest; Xiao Hei noticed Xiao Fengdi at the first time, and rushed to Come up and wag your tail wildly.

Now that everyone is familiar with each other, Fang Shiqing no longer sticks to entertaining guests. He moved a stool from the house for him, and then continued to work before going out.

The arable land of the farm has been planed very soft by the zombies, and it can be directly sown with a little care.He didn't have too many seeds on hand, including the rose stalks, watermelon vines, and rapeseed flowers he picked in the first dungeon, it didn't take long to sow them all.

Subsequent watering takes a little longer.The place where the farm fetches water is the southernmost stream. The water quality here is very good, but it is too far away from the arable land, and the weather is hot in summer. After running back and forth twice, he sweated a little.

Xiao Fengdi was just watching from the sidelines, and when he saw this, he stood up and wanted to help, but he refused.

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it myself." And he only has a watering can, which can only be used by one person at a time.

Xiao Fengdi visually measured the distance to the water source, and frowned slightly: "This is too inconvenient, even if you are busy now, you will have trouble when you plant more things later. Why don't you open a canal, Bring the water here."

He drew a finger along the north-south direction.

Fang Shiqing had never thought of this method.Speaking of which, he is indeed a proficient game player, but because of this, his way of thinking often cannot go beyond the management games he has played before, and he is virtually limited by many.

"This... Could it be that the workload is a bit too much?"

"No, isn't this a game? If you have relevant skills, isn't this kind of work done very quickly?"

"..." I didn't expect that there would be a day when I was educated by the big boss with the reason of "isn't this a game?" Fang Shiqing couldn't help laughing, "You are right, I was stupid. I will find out later, Let's see if we can fix it."

He fetched water one last time, watered everything he had planted, and then hurried the two sheep back to the stable so they wouldn't eat the new plants.

After finishing all this work, he let out a long breath and sat down beside Xiao Fengdi.

The sky is clear, the climate is pleasant, and the crops he has planted in front of him, all of which, and the company of friends (if any), make him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

This pleasure is calm and secure.He couldn't help but think of the first day when he first entered the game. At that time, he was hit by the sudden happiness. He was so happy that he was too impetuous. ——Compared at that time with the present, he suddenly felt that he had touched the true meaning of life too much.

"It feels like I'm finally on the right track..." He rubbed his shoulders and said, "The things in the game grow fast, and they will be collected in a few days, boss, I will be able to return yours at that time Money."

"No need to pay it back," Xiao Fengdi knew that he was referring to the ones he spent when he went to a neighboring town yesterday, "I don't have much money to spend. Besides, I have almost no income, so I'm afraid I can't contribute much to the task. Why don't you pay for it?" Earn, the same amount of money is more valuable for you to spend."

"It still has to be paid back, and everything is one code at a time..."

When the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the gate of the farm, followed by a familiar greeting: "Xiao Fang? Is Xiao Fang there—?"

Fang Shiqing jumped up: "By the way, I even hired a carpenter today!"

He hurried to the door and invited Carpenter Wang in.
