Beasts start from stone

Chapter 142 The Old Man and the Mud Ball in the River

As soon as Xu Yanqing opened the big iron gate of his house, he saw a black mud ball rolling out of the river. Without even thinking about it, it was a pet animal.

Ordinary animals don't have that kind of ability. Xu Yanqing took out his phone, thought about it, and then put it down.

It was safe to call the pet beast capture hotline, but the path this pet was heading towards seemed likely to be his own home.

By the time those people arrived slowly, this pet beast might have broken open the door of his house long ago.

Fortunately, my wife was busy in the store, and my son and daughter-in-law went shopping. It didn't matter what happened to my old bones, but my granddaughter was still upstairs.

The granddaughter is the hope of the Xu family, and nothing can happen to her.

Xu Yanqing thought for a while and picked up the hoe beside him.

It was originally a hoe used for planting flowers in front of the door, but since the road was sealed with cement, he could no longer use it, so he washed the hoe clean and placed it by the door.

I didn't expect to be able to use it at this time.

Looking at the mud ball, which was nearly one meter in diameter, Xu Yanqing's hand when he picked up the hoe trembled slightly.

But he became more and more determined. Even if he was not a beast master, he would use his own power to protect his granddaughter.

Xu Yanqing raised his arms. Although they have enjoyed gardening these years, they are still as strong as when they were young and are worthy of his trust.

Although the hoe is not very sharp, it is difficult for ordinary people to have weapons to deal with pet beasts in their homes.

People in Qinglian City didn't know much about pet beasts, but because of frequent contact with Guangbo, Xu Yanqing still had a little understanding of the levels of pet beasts.

The strength of D-class pet beasts is indeed inferior to that of adults who have been trained for a long time.

But once the pet beast reaches C level, because it has external moves or has a more powerful body, humans are no match for the pet beast.

What's more, he's just an old man.

Xu Yanqing locked the door and put the key back in his pocket.

This is not because he is confident in his own strength, but because he does not think that the pet beast's intelligence can do such things as unlocking.

He encouraged himself in his heart and said:

"Just an ordinary animal with a few tricks."

Xu Yanqing stretched out his hoe and hit the mud ball hard.

The hoe sank deeply into the mud ball. It seemed that it was frightened, and the mud ball let out a scream.

"Joruo!"

The mud ball broke away from Xu Yanqing's hoe and ran two meters toward his house.

"Xiaoge, don't come out!"

Xu Yanqing's ears were not very good. He heard Xu Qingge's voice in the house, but he couldn't hear the specific words, so he had to continue to swing the hoe faster.

It's just that the mud ball moved too fast, and Xu Yanqing's hoe made white marks on the cement floor.

Even if you manage to hit a mud ball, it's just adding more mud and water to the hoe.

Xu Qingge was sweating profusely in the house. She felt that just shouting could not solve the current situation.

The iron door was locked. This style of old door once locked from one side cannot be opened from the other side.

She suddenly remembered that there was a ladder in her grandfather's house, which should be in the tool room.

Also because of the inconvenient transportation, hiring bricklayers for the Xu family's old house was very time-consuming.

However, some passing birds can break a tile with just one step, and they have to be repaired for the sake of beauty.

In order to save money, Xu Yanqing bought his own tiles and ladders, and climbed up to repair them whenever something happened.

But later, due to good management, there are fewer and fewer wild pets in the city, and only some tourist attractions with original ecology still have wild pets.

Because of this, the tiles also survived.Later, for convenience, Xu Yanqing moved all the gardening tools to the side of the flower room on the second floor. The tool room was almost semi-abandoned.

But the key is still the same, stuck behind the Spring Festival couplets on the door.

Xu Qingge took out the key and unlocked the door. Although it was a little old, it could still be opened.
"Cough cough."

Xu Qingge was so fascinated by the rising dust that she couldn't open her eyes. She touched the light rope based on her feeling.

"Clap."

"Is the light actually broken?"

Xu Qingge took out his mobile phone and scanned the debris in the tool room.

Pile at the door are dozens of unused tiles, with grandma's straw hat, grandpa's helmet and uniform piled on top, as well as gloves that still smell like engine oil.

Then there are the wooden bathtubs that I used to take baths in, and the straw stacks that were used to burn stoves before Qinglian City was connected to natural gas...

These are things from a certain era, but Xu Qingge never misses the past.

Listening to the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong outside, Grandpa must be fighting with Xiao Ruoruo. There is no time to waste.

Fortunately, she finally found the ladder.

"Why did grandpa put the ladder in this place?"

Xu Qingge didn't bother to wipe the dust on the ladder, so he carried the ladder out and set it up at the door.

Although the ladder is only made of bamboo, it is still very strong and durable.

She climbed up the ladder to the gate and happened to watch Xu Yanqing chasing a ball of mud. She quickly shouted:
"Grandpa, don't do it!"

The sudden sound attracted everyone.

"Little song!"

When Xu Yanqing saw a person crawling out of the front door of his house, who was still his granddaughter, Xu Yanqing felt his heart slow down by half a beat.

"Joruo!"

Xiao Ruoruo also felt that her heart slowed down by half a beat, wondering why the master climbed so high.

In ancient times, Longhua people all pursued the goal of matching with the same household, but now that there is neither the right match nor the right household, the size of the door is a means of proving identity.

Although Xu Yanqing is not a respectable person, he is one of the first people to build a foreign-style building in Huai'en County, and the door is three meters high.

Xu Qingge looked at his feet, feeling in a dilemma.

This height made her feel a little dizzy, but she had to jump down. If this misunderstanding could not be solved, she might not be able to eat lunch.

"It's only three meters..."

Xu Qingge emboldened himself. Jumping from such a small height could be cushioned by some means. Even though there was a cement floor underneath, he could still avoid injury.

Seeing Xu Qingge preparing to jump, Xiao Ruoruo burst out at an unprecedented speed.

It first flew up to a height of five meters to ensure that Xu Yanqing's hoe could not touch him, and then wrapped Xu Qingge with two layers of water bubbles on the way down.

"Ruoruo... Ruoruo!"

As soon as Xiao Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief, she found that her energy was being consumed at a high speed.

As a last resort, it could only rush under the bubble with all its strength, and catch Xu Qingge with its body before its energy was exhausted.

Xu Yanqing was not too shocked when he saw a fish jumping out of the mud ball.

He had already been mentally prepared for the fact that Xu Qingge was a beast master, but he didn't expect that the ball of mud contained Xu Qingge's pet beast.
