A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"—That's it, he gave this to me." Fang Shiqing concluded helplessly.

It is the early morning of the 20th, and he is sitting on a rock by the lake, with a long fishing rod across his knees.

Sitting next to him is You Qingyu.She reached out to take it curiously, flipped through it twice: "This thing looks pretty good."

"It's pretty good," Fang Shiqing said, "although it's a bit old, but it's sturdy and handy. The uncle used to use it himself. He said that he doesn't want to fish anymore, and he just hopes that the whole family will stay out of the water." It’s far away, so just give it to me.”

"Uh, isn't this a good thing? With a fishing rod, you can fish." You Qingyu was puzzled.

She was originally here for running exercises every morning, but she didn't expect to meet Fang Shiqing who was holding a fishing rod in a daze here today, so she asked a few more questions out of curiosity, but she didn't expect such a complicated story to come out.

"Well, how should I put it..." Fang Shiqing smiled wryly, "Don't you think the way to obtain this item is too strange?"

In the game, it is not uncommon to get gifts from NPCs, but it is rare to receive gifts due to some unfortunate events like this time-it is almost like getting some cursed props.

"In short, when I think about the past, I don't feel very comfortable."

"...I think you're thinking too much," You Qingyu didn't take it seriously, "This background story is a bit weird, but it has nothing to do with fishing rods, right? Even if there are any cursed props in this story, it should be How could the fish tank and koi that the little girl was holding when she was drowning be a fishing rod that couldn't be hit by eight poles?"

"..." Fang Shiqing said, "Actually, that uncle also gave me the remaining tank of koi. He said that when he saw them, he would think of those bad things, so he simply couldn't see them or worry about them."

"..."

You Qingyu was speechless, "Then you just accept it like this?"

"Ah."

Fang Shiqing also thought about raising koi before, but in all fairness, he really didn't dare to raise this tank. After all, combined with the background story, these carps are evil no matter how they look.

But if someone offered to give it to him in that situation, it was hard to refuse.Now he doesn't dare to let them go and doesn't know how to raise them, so he can only put them in the room temporarily.

It's shameful to say that last night he had a whole night of nightmares, the dream was full of boundless water, and pale corpses... I don't know if it was the shadows in his heart that were aroused by the previous events.

You Qingyu silently supported his forehead, and after a while he said, "I don't know what to do. By the way, why don't you discuss this kind of supernatural problem with Brother Xiao?"

"..."

Fang Shiqing sighed and didn't answer.

You Qingyu sensitively sensed that something was wrong: "Aren't you going to find him? Did you quarrel?"

"No, nothing."

Fang Shiqing also wanted to go and ask the boss for help, but once he remembered the other party's sentence "If you are fine, don't come here" a few days ago, he often lost all his courage.

...No, it's just an excuse.In fact, he didn't dare to see him himself, he was afraid that if he was not careful, his bad intentions would be exposed.

"I just feel that nothing has happened yet, and everything is my own suspicion, so there is no need to bother others."

"Really?" You Qingyu asked suspiciously, "But weren't you very diligent when you ran to the library when you had nothing to do?"

"No, I didn't work very hard before...forget it."

Fang Shiqing found it difficult to explain these things to her clearly, so he simply changed the subject, took out a disposable lunch box from the props bar and said, "This is for you."

"Is it for food?" You Qingyu took it in surprise, "Sweet and sour fish? It's actually fish! Shiqing, you are such a super nice person!"

"You don't need to thank me," Fang Shiqing scratched the back of his head and said, "The big guy caught the fish, so thank him if you want."

After watching You Qingyu leave, Fang Shiqing stayed in place for a while, but he still didn't dare to throw the hook into the water to try.After the previous events, his shadow on the water was not overcome, on the contrary, it became more serious.

He looked at the remaining lunch boxes in his inventory.The fish was big enough before, so he simply tried several recipes of steamed sweet and sour stew according to the recipe, all of which were considered successful.

I said before that after the fish is cooked, I will give it to others to taste, so...can he use the name of delivering food to meet Xiao Fengdi?

Recently the farm has been doing very well.

Shijiu recruited two more friends, and the number of sheep bleating and waiting for food became four. Fang Shiqing had to enclose a few more fields on the farm to plant pasture, and built a fence to enclose the stables. Inside, it is separated from the field, lest the sheep eat the wheat seedlings.

The peach tree planted on No. 1 is almost mature, and the saplings in the game have a growth period of about 25 days. If there is no accident, you will be able to eat ripe peaches by the end of the month.It's a pity that peach trees only bear fruit in summer, and the peaches can only be eaten for two days at most.

The planting industry is developing rapidly, and now Fang Shiqing has to spend more than six hours a day on farming, otherwise he will not be able to finish it.He felt that he had to hurry up and figure out a simpler and more convenient watering method, otherwise he would definitely die of exhaustion in the fall.

Farming is really hard work, here is just a game, just hoeing the ground and watering it, and you don’t even need to do insect repellent, it can make people so tired... In reality, people engaged in agriculture are really hard.

After finishing the work, it was almost evening again. Fang Shiqing returned to the room and looked at the fish tank in the corner with complicated emotions——

The tank for raising koi is not the kind of transparent glass tank, but a traditional large water tank with a diameter of more than one meter. It is very heavy when filled with water. Not even able to move it.

Standing by the side and looking in, there are five or six koi swimming freely in the water, some in three colors, some red and white, some black, and they are very beautiful at first glance.

Fang Shiqing was conflicted in his heart.

There were slight ripples on the surface of the water, as if a familiar shadow had floated up.His heart moved, he couldn't help staring at Ripple, and gradually bent down.

It wasn't until a chill came from the tip of his nose that he suddenly woke up:

Before he knew it, he had already put his face on the surface of the water, and he was about to bury his head in the water!

The tank was big enough and deep enough that even a grown man could drown in it.

He broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to stare at the fish tank anymore.

At that moment just now, I felt as if I was bewitched by something, I just wanted to get closer to the water surface... It was really evil.

It seems that now it's time to find the boss.

Fang Shiqing put the fish tank and fishing rod into the inventory, and set off for the library as soon as possible.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, he heard someone talking, and when he saw the administrator's station through the hallway, he couldn't help being completely stunned.

Xiao Fengdi sat there as usual, and beside him, a tall and thin boy was holding his desk, talking to him excitedly.

"... so many! I will work hard and try to finish all of them as soon as possible..."

Wait, isn't this the boy I met in the hospital two days ago!

The young man dragged Xiao Fengdi and talked endlessly, Xiao Fengdi occasionally responded, his attitude was quite good.

Fang Shiqing stayed at the door, unable to react for a while.Usually the library is very quiet, even if people come here occasionally, they seldom gossip with Xiao Fengdi. Now this is... what's going on?

Xiao Fengdi turned around and saw him, slightly surprised: "You're here? Are you here to borrow books?"

The young man also followed the sound and raised his head. When he saw Fang Shiqing, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and he grinned very comfortably.

"——" Fang Shiqing almost asked "Why are you here", but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them quickly.Anyway, the library is also a public place, anyone can come, and it is not surprising that anyone comes.

Probably seeing that he was a little dazed, Xiao Fengdi frowned and explained: "Starting today, he will do volunteer work in the library for a period of time."

"Yes, now I am Brother Xiao's junior!" The young man said happily, "If you want to borrow books, you can also ask me, I will help you find them."

"??" Fang Shiqing had question marks all over his face.

Xiao Fengdi didn't intend to explain in detail, but asked again: "What's the matter with you here? You're not here to borrow books, but you're here to find me?"

"..."

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, I was planning to ask the big brother about the koi problem, but now in front of this young man, he couldn't take out those things, so he could only shake his head: "It's nothing, I just came to tell you what I said before." Bring it to you."

There are five or six boxes of packed fish, stacked up and placed on the table, it looks quite impressive.Because the fish is caught by others, most of the finished products must of course be tasted by others.

"I don't know which kind you like to eat, so I tried a few more ways..."

"Wow, is this a squirrel fish?" The teenager looked at it curiously, "Isn't this difficult to make, my mother usually doesn't bother to do it."

It is really difficult to make squirrelfish in reality, but it is okay in the game.The so-called seer has a share, the other party said so, Fang Shiqing was embarrassed to ignore it, so he took out another squirrel fish and handed it to him: "If you don't mind, you can try it too."

"Thank you, you are such a good person!" The boy accepted it in surprise, not being polite to him.

"It's nothing." Fang Shiqing put the borrowed recipe on the table, "Then I'll go first."

Xiao Fengdi didn't speak, but just nodded.

"Welcome to come next time!" The boy bowed vigorously to him.Xiao Fengdi said helplessly, "This is a library, not a bookstore."

"Can't the library welcome you next time?"

"Do not……"

The conversation behind him came intermittently, and Fang Shiqing felt inexplicably panicked, and ran out of the entrance as if he couldn't help but escape.

He didn't know what he was thinking.If it's because of emotional problems, even if you have mischievous intentions towards others, you won't be able to treat an NPC (and he's still underage!) as an opponent.

But he was very uncomfortable, inexplicably uncomfortable, and even a little wronged.

Maybe it's because the boss's attitude towards his official business and his friendly attitude towards the NPC boy are too obvious, right?

Obviously before... No, I can't think about it anymore.

Leaving personal issues aside,...what should I do with the tank of koi in my hand?

It seems that I can only raise myself first.He didn't dare to put it in his house anymore, so he had to move the tank to a corner of the warehouse.

The fish in the game are very easy to raise. The steamed bread crumbs that usually come with the [-] yuan set meal and the algae fished from the lake can thrive if you feed them anything you want, and you don’t need to pay attention to temperature adjustment or anything.

Fang Shiqing casually threw some food into the tank, and then hid far away.

Xiao Hei barked and came over to rub his trouser legs.After more than a month of growth, the black dog, which was originally a small one, has grown a lot, standing upright for more than one meter, with smooth and smooth fur, and looks very vigorous.

Fang Shiqing snorted two dog's heads, and felt somewhat more at ease.

"Xiao Hei, how about you sleep with me tonight?"

He thought, if there was a living creature in the room—and it was a black dog that was said to be able to ward off evil spirits, he should feel more at ease.

Of course, Xiao Hei couldn't understand human speech, he just laughed happily.

So when the sun was setting, Fang Shiqing wanted to bring Xiao Hei into the house.Unexpectedly, it showed a considerable degree of rebellion, and refused to enter the house no matter how he greeted it. If he didn't catch it, it ran away and rushed back to the chicken coop where it was used to.

Fang Shiqing: "..." What's going on with this dog!Would you rather sleep with a group of Gugu chickens than sleep with him!

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Shiqing had no choice but to go back to the room by himself. He carried some wood with him, so that he could practice some craft skills after dark.

The sun sank a little below the horizon, leaving only a golden circle on the horizon.

And just before it was dark, there was a sudden knock on the door.

It's already this time, who will come?Fang Shiqing was puzzled.After all, it wasn't night yet, so he wasn't too worried, so he went to open the door.

——There was no one outside the door, but the big tank with koi was placed upright.
