A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Having just experienced the life-threatening pursuit of the big white goose and the death gaze from the cow, in Fang Shiqing's eyes at this moment, such a docile little lamb is just like an angel.

Sheep are recognized as docile creatures, let alone this is a cub.Although it is a bit embarrassing to admit that he can't deal with big animals, he has always been very self-aware - anyway, he is a weak chicken, and it is better to do what he can than to be strong.

He tentatively took the lamb from the little girl, who didn't resist, but was trembling slightly, looking frightened.

"Is it particularly afraid of me?" Fang Shiqing asked worriedly, "It's been shaking all the time."

"No, look, it trembles in my hand," the little girl said nonchalantly, "This lamb loves to shake its legs when it's born, and we call it the trembling sheep."

"……"Fine.

Cubs are cheaper than adults. It cost 500 yuan to buy such a animal. The feed for young animals has special nutrition added, so they need to be purchased specially, so it costs another 500 yuan for bits and pieces of feed. many.

Fang Shiqing put everything into the inventory, said goodbye to the little girl in the ranch, and then returned directly to Qingliang Farm.With the hare meat sent by others, there is no need to eat today's meal.

After going out for two days and not returning, everything on the farm remains the same.Xiao Hei was sleeping on his stomach in the new weeds, and when he saw him, he rushed up immediately, his tail wagging happily: at a glance, he knew that his food bowl must be empty.

He bent down and snorted the dog's head, then turned and walked to the chicken coop.Then--

Getting pecked at by a group of angry hens.

The animals in the game also have a favorability system, and the operation of not feeding them for a whole day will undoubtedly lead to a direct drop in favorability.The AI ​​of these chickens is very simple and cannot make any complicated judgments. They only know how to go up and peck people if they don’t like it. They have no idea that this will only make them eat later...

The place that was pecked by the big white goose before was especially painful when it was attacked again. He could only grin his teeth and hold it back, while pouring chicken feed into the trough while resisting the beating of the hens.

After finally finishing it, he immediately turned around and ran away, and he was relieved to escape outside the chicken coop.Lifting up the clothes, I saw that the place where the goose had pecked before was bruised and purple, and it hurt when I touched it.

He touched the blood recovery medicine in the inventory, and found that there were only two bottles left, so he didn't want to use it.

This kind of ordinary bruise can be healed after a night's sleep. Anyway, daily life is not as dangerous as in the dungeon. There is no need to adjust the state to the best at any time, so why waste medicine?

Xiao Hei followed, rubbing his trouser legs and barking, but he didn't even dare to go back to the chicken coop to add food to the bowl for him, so he had to take another plate and opened a new bag of dog food for him. it.

He knew that a hungry hen was scary, but he didn't expect it to be so scary... He couldn't help but think, if this game had the function of automatically feeding feed, he would definitely install one as soon as possible.

The sun moved directly overhead.The spring sun is not harsh, and the sun shines on my body, making me feel warm.

Fang Shiqing sat down on the steps of the hut alone, looked at the sky quietly for a while, let the scenery between the fields dispel all the accumulated unpleasant emotions, and then took out the lunch box that the little girl in the ranch gave him.

Tearing off a small piece and putting it in his mouth, he felt that behind him suddenly appeared the brilliant background of waves, seas, thousands of flowers, sparks and lightning that is common in gourmet shows——

turn out to be!Meat!Is it such a delicious thing? !

After careful calculation, due to personal health reasons, Fang Shiqing's life is basically insulated from heavy oil and salt meat, such as barbecue, spicy hot pot, fragrant pot, and even slightly miscellaneous hot pot, he can only watch others eat.Not to mention that after entering the game, due to lack of money, players have been eating cheap meals that cost ten yuan for nearly 20 days: that kind of thing is basically equivalent to white water soaked cakes and vegetables.

This piece of rabbit meat has been simply cooked and marinated, and sprinkled with a thin layer of chili powder. The spiciness is very thin, but it can stimulate the appetite just right, and even people who have no experience with spiciness can easily accept it.Although it's just homemade meat, the taste is quite good, and you can't stop after taking a bite——

When he realized it, the whole portion of meat had been eaten up, leaving Fang Shiqing blankly facing the box with only bones left.

Xiao Hei smelled meat and ran over to circle him.He silently stuffed the bone into it. Seeing the puppy happily gnawing on it, he felt that the desire for "food" that had never been stimulated in his heart swelled up and couldn't be ignored.

In the afternoon, Fang Shiqing planned to check the condition of the barn.

The infrastructure in Qingliang Farm, including chicken coops and livestock coops, are all left by "grandpa". They are all made of wood, and they look surprisingly elegant.He only went in to look at it in the first few days of his arrival, and cleaned it a little. He didn't expect that when he looked again this time, a piece of wood on the back was missing, and a hole more than half a meter high was opened.

... I don't know if it was punched by a zombie.

Generally speaking, it is enough to patch up a piece of wood at this time, but Fang Shiqing spent a long time gesturing, wondering where to start.He didn't have the skills to repair the house, and his DIY ability is not high in reality. At most, he can only take a piece of wood and fix it from the inside, which is not only ugly, but also leaks air.

According to the rules of the game, most of this kind of work has to be done by a carpenter.Speaking of Carpenter Qi in the town, he thought of the shotgun on the wall and the delicious animal meat again, and immediately decided to go to see the old man immediately.

It took nearly an hour to start from Qingliang Farm to the east of the town.It looks very deserted here, there are several rows of roadblocks at the exit, and there are almost no pedestrians around; looking from here to the distance, you can see layers of green mountain shadows.

The roadblocks here are mainly used as a reminder, and they are not mandatory for passers-by, so they can be easily turned over.According to his memory, Fang Shiqing quickly found the cabin of Carpenter Qi.

Coincidentally, the carpenter was sitting on the threshold polishing his shotgun.It has to be said that the action of a capable old man wiping his gun unhurriedly was quite intimidating, making Fang Shiqing dare not even approach him for a while, but the old man looked up and saw him first, and greeted him first.

"Hey, young man, why are you here?" Carpenter Qi put the gun into the inventory, stood up and wiped his hands, "Could it be that you want to go up the mountain, the mountain here is dangerous, just your thin arm Those with thin legs can't go up alone."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the sense of crisis brought by the weapon before was shattered, and he turned back into the kind old man who talked.

"No, Qibo, I'm here to see you."

Fang Shiqing bought a can of health milk powder for the elderly on the way here, and took it out directly.

Wanting to build a good relationship with NPCs is much easier than interacting with others in reality. As long as you give them something they like, the favorability will increase.

Sure enough, the old man laughed so that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up together: "Oh, your grandfather and I have been friends for more than ten years. It's good if you have more time to talk to me... Or is there any carpenter on the farm?" Do you want me to do the work? If you have something, just ask me to do the work of your grandfather's generation."

Fang Shi Qingxin said that sure enough, according to the setting, the stables at Qingliang Farm should also be built by this person.

The old man led him into the house and hung the gun back on the wall.Fang Shiqing took the opportunity to ask: "So you still have hunting guns here, do you usually hunt?"

"I did it when I was young, but now I don't have the energy." Qi Carpenter said with emotion, "We rely on mountains here, and there are wild beasts from time to time, so we can be safer if we know how to deal with them. Spring is the season when wild beasts resume their activities. Hey, Xiao Fang, you also have to be careful, there might be wild bears coming to your place to ruin your crops."

"...Thank you for your reminder." However, if a wild bear dared to go there, it would probably be torn and eaten by the zombies instead.

"Just to ask," he asked cautiously, "Where did you get your gun? Well... I kind of want to get one, so that I can use it for self-defense if I encounter a wild beast."

Carpenter Qi wasn't suspicious, but just looked at Fang Shiqing, shook his head and said, "You can't use this kind of thing with your small body, why don't you raise a dog on the farm for self-defense."

"..."

Are there also barriers to entry for the use of shotguns? !

Fortunately, the other party quickly went on to say: "I have used this gun for decades, and I don't even remember where I got it from. We don't have any place to buy firearms here. If you really want to get one, I'm afraid I have to go to the neighboring town and visit the black market."

"black market?"

Carpenter Qi explained briefly.

In this game world, the use of guns is basically unlimited, but because of the particularity of the thing itself, it cannot be bought everywhere, and even the neighboring towns with rich species have no sales points.

However, the neighboring town is located on a major traffic road, and the flow of people coming and going is quite large. Many of the foreign guests are in urgent need of money and things. For a long time, a private trading market has gradually formed, which is popular among the locals. It's called the black market.

There are almost all kinds of strange things on the black market, and it is not surprising to encounter guns.

This is very useful information. Fang Shiqing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he quickly thanked him. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that the neighboring town is really a treasure.

Afterwards, he mentioned to the carpenter about the hole in the barn on the farm, and asked the old man to help him repair it—of course, the wages were negotiable.

Carpenter Qi did not agree.

"I have something to do these few days, so I can't go to your place for the time being." He glanced at the shotgun on the wall, "It sounds like it's just a small problem, and it can be fixed if you make up for it, or it will take a few hours. Otherwise, this job Go find my apprentice, report my name, and ask him to give you a [-]% discount."

"Your apprentice? A carpenter's apprentice?"

Fang Shiqing was really surprised, he had never seen a business game with two carpenters.In reality, it is normal for craftsmen to have apprentices, and this game is really getting closer to reality.

"Yes, that kid usually doesn't do much, but his skills are passable."

Carpenter Qi mentioned an address, which was in the residential area where You Qingyu’s house was located—it was the oldest and cheapest residential area in Fengyue Town, although the land in Fengyue Town was generally not very expensive—and told him to find it there. A man surnamed Wang.

Fang Shiqing looked at the sky and felt that it was too late to go over there today anyway.

But that's all right.He wasn't in a hurry to repair the barn, anyway, even if it was done, it wouldn't be needed for a while: the farm was full of ghosts wandering around in the middle of the night, and there was Xiao Hei guarding the chicken coop so that the girl wouldn't have to worry about it. The ghosts ate the hens, but Xiao Hei only had one, so he couldn't do it all.If you want to officially use the barn to raise animals, you have to ask Mr. Xiao Fengdi to come to help and set up a formation around.

He had already thought about this.As for the lambs that have been brought back, they can be kept temporarily in his hut or in the storage room next to him. Anyway, the animals in the game have no peculiar smell, do not need to deal with excrement, and do not need to worry about hygiene issues.

He chatted with the old man for a few more words, basically talking about the beasts and special plants in the surrounding mountains, and then he left and went back to the farm.

When I came back, it was already dark.

He took the lamb out and put it in the hut.The little lamb immediately hid in the corner of the room, still shaking up and down, looking at him pitifully with a pair of lifeless eyes, and didn't stop until he was ready to pass the feed and water, bowed his head Eat up.

Fang Shiqing was depressed for a while, feeling that the little girl in the ranch was just donating to him.This little thing is obviously afraid of people.

...However, when the favorability is raised a bit in the future, you shouldn't be afraid, right?he thought optimistically.

That night, Fang Shi went to bed early in the morning, but was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

He moved in a daze, and found that his body was empty, and the quilt was gone, and he touched the side, but there was nothing.

Shouldn't he be kicked to the ground?

Fang Shiqing has always been somewhat confident about his sleeping appearance. Although it is impossible to become a wax figure in seconds after touching the bed like Xiao Fengdi, it is still possible to behave well all night without kicking the quilt.

He woke up a little bit, and turned on the flashlight - he always used the flashlight as a bedside lamp when he was not entering the dungeon.

It's okay not to open it, but when it was opened, he was immediately frightened.

The whole house was in chaos like a typhoon passing through.The tables and chairs are all crooked, the cupboard door is missing a piece, and the curtains that have just been put back are also crooked, and on the ground in the middle of the room, a ball of snow-white things is lying on top of another ball of snow-white things, creaking. the sound of--

That white ball, which was one size larger, was undoubtedly his quilt.

And that little white dumpling...

Isn't that the little lamb? !

It had a corner of the quilt in its mouth and was grinding its teeth, and it was about to chew it to pieces.

Fang Shiqing jumped off the ground and ran over, until he got to the side of Baituanzi, it still didn't respond.I took a photo with a flashlight, oh, my eyes are basically closed.

Together, is it sleepwalking?

"Hey, Shake Sheep, wake up?"

Fang Shiqing tentatively poked the lamb's forehead.

With a poke, the little lamb woke up with a bleat.As soon as I saw him, I immediately started to tremble, screaming extremely weak.

"..." Fang Shiqing suddenly understood why the little girl in the ranch wanted to sell the sheep to him.
