My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 2, Ranch Years

"Is it Xiao Jiang? I'm still wondering where you went."

The old mayor who was still waiting at the door noticed Jiang Simiao who was walking back. He smiled, took off his black top hat and raised it, and walked to Jiang Simiao with a black cane.

He has gray hair and a slightly chubby body. He is wearing a black vest and a white shirt lining. He always has a gentle and kind smile on his face, making him look like a gentleman.

This was the first time that Jiang Simiao met the mayor of Ouniao Town. After all, just after traveling to this world, he turned the house upside down as soon as he returned to the ranch, using axes, picks, and hoes. , sickle, hammer, watering can and other props that came with the house, I just took my backpack and the unexpectedly found keys and went outside to wander around.

This is the realization of a senior gamer.

When you can't do anything in the early stage, picking up trash with a backpack is the best way to go.

It was an accident to come back with this slime in my arms.

Of course... this also resulted in the old mayor who came to Jiang Simiao never having the chance to meet him.

"Mayor, please look for me."

Jiang Simiao smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, and suddenly found that his eyes were fixed on the slime jar in his arms, and he quickly moved it closer to his arms.

"When I just went out to familiarize myself with the environment, I saw this little guy. Seeing that he liked me, I brought him back first."

Pink Slime: Hmm~? ? ?

"Hahaha, it's okay," the old mayor waved his hand and said with a smile, "I received a message from you yesterday, saying that you were going to stay and take care of your grandfather's pasture. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt here when you came back from the city. life. But when I came here in the morning, I saw that you had already packed your luggage and you are still so familiar with the surrounding environment. I felt relieved. "

"This is the legacy left by your grandfather. Although it is now overgrown with grass, the soil below is very fertile. As long as you have a little patience, it can be cleaned up quickly. It will be very convenient for farming and animal husbandry."

Jiang Simiao nodded, and also noticed the little black cat lying at the mayor's feet, and asked curiously: "This cat is..."

After Jiang Simuo's reminder, the old mayor held up his hat in confusion.

"I met this cat at the gate of your ranch. When your grandfather was still here, he often fed this stray little guy's mother. Originally, after your grandfather left, the family often caught mice here. ."

"Even though it's the only one now, it still comes here to visit from time to time."

"Although he is not an extraordinary pet beast, he is very humane and seems to like you very much. It depends on whether you are willing to adopt this little guy."

"Meow~" The little black cat originally looked at Jiang Simiao longingly, but after hearing the old mayor say that he liked him, he immediately turned his head away, his ears hanging down on both sides, and his slender tail. Shaking slightly.

"Adopt it?" Jiang Simiao squatted down, put the glass jar next to him, and slowly stretched out his hand.Seeing that it didn't look repulsive, I gently pressed on it and smoothed the messy hair on its head. "Of course it can if it wants to."

"Meow~"

The little black cat just turned its head slightly, but did not shake Jiang Simiao's hand away. Its tail quietly brushed his wrist.

"It seems like it really likes you." The old mayor pushed up his reading glasses, looked at the little black cat, and smiled.

While Jiang Simiao was still playing with it, the mayor touched his mustache and looked around.

"I feel so nostalgic. I think it was like this when your grandfather reclaimed this land by himself." The eyes of the old mayor were full of memories of the past. Every time he saw a place, the scenes of the past appeared in his mind.

"Your grandfather liked to use the fertile land in front of him for farming at that time. The crops in each season grew much larger than those outside. Sometimes he would also plant some extraordinary spiritual plants. During that time, the crops in the back mountain All the extraordinary pets around here like to visit your ranch, just to see if they can get some food from your grandpa."

"Speaking of the back mountain, you should have been there just now. Just to the north of the ranch, there is a mysterious forest to the west of the mountain with many small pet animals."

Speaking of this, the old mayor seemed to have recalled something, and his eyebrows widened and he smiled: "Because your grandfather planted a lot of spiritual plants, those extraordinary creatures were more friendly to the people in the town. But we didn't go to the deeper places. I have explored it, if you are interested, you can go and take a look while ensuring your own safety.”

"But..." The old mayor turned to look at the glass jar on the ground. The pink slime inside began to sleep soundly again, and smiled, "It seems that my worries are unnecessary. You have already gone there by yourself." I went deep into the forest, and I brought back a...slime, right? Sure enough, children who come back from the city are different."

"Ah haha..." Jiang Simuo, who had just stood up, didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Also, have you found anything from the forest? If so, you can put the things you won't use temporarily into the big box at the door. That is a shipping box, usually crops, wild wild fruits, and ores. You can put anything in it.”

"Every night at eight o'clock, someone will come and remove the contents of the box, settle the bill according to the market price, and put the money in your mailbox the next morning. If you type out the name of the ranch in the future, maybe there will be Someone will come to your ranch to transport the goods. After all, your grandfather was like that in the past, and your ranch has always had a good reputation." The old mayor seemed to be remembering the previous scene, with a little emotion in his tone.

"After his death, all the original breeding animals were sold to others, the barns were demolished, and the pasture gradually fell into disuse."

"But if you need to build again, there is a very good carpenter in the town. With his pet beast, as long as he brings enough materials and money, he can give you a perfect building in three days."

"Finally, I just went into your house and took a look. Since you have put away those tools, I put a bag of radish seeds suitable for spring planting, and also left some food in your refrigerator. When the time comes, If you want to grow other things, you can go to the seed store in town to buy them. In short, this pasture will be reborn from today."

"If this place can regain its original prosperity, I think your grandpa will be very happy!"

Jiang Simiao looked around and nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa Mayor, I will try my best."

The old mayor smiled and touched his mustache: "Haha, that's good. Let's make money first. Once you have money, everything will be easier to deal with later on."

"I'm going to leave first. I've been out for so long, and my sweet granddaughter will cry if she can't find me. If you have any questions later, you can come to the town to find me, and I'll leave everything to you."

"Okay, mayor, let's go slowly."

After saying that, the old mayor turned around and left.

Jiang Simiao looked around, then squatted down first and released the slime from the jar.

"Okay, little guy, let's get to know each other well now."

Jiang Simiao stretched out his fingers and hooked the little slime. Its body swayed and bounced.

Although it is an extraordinary pet beast, as an extraordinary pet beast with only low-level swallowing and liquefied body skills, it may not even be able to defeat this non-extraordinary cat.

"Hmm?" The pink slime rolled around on the ground, spread out in a ball and lay on the ground. After opening his eyes and looking around, he fell asleep again.

Jiang Simiao:......

"How about I give you a name first." Jiang Simiao scratched his head.

"Well, how about barking..." He touched the kitten's fur and looked at it for a long time before two words popped out of his mouth, "Xiao Hei?"

The black cat turned its head, pushed away Jiang Simiao's hand that was touching it, and barked in disgust.

Jiang Simiao suddenly had a problem and regretted it. It was so troublesome to choose a name: "Ah... Cat? Black cat?"

"How about good luck? Good luck in the future?"

"Meow..." The black cat hesitated, nodded, and ran into the hut without letting Jiang Simuo touch it.

"And you~" Jiang Simiao looked at the pink slime again, "Just call me Xiaoruan."

"Um~"

It didn't open its eyes and just responded casually.

Jiang Simiao:......

"I think it's better to check the illustrated book first and take a look at all the rewards."

Jiang Simiao helplessly held his forehead and shook his head in confusion.

He stood up, spread his hands, and the original "Pasture Illustrated Book" fell into his hands again.

"Receive award."

A burst of light filled his vision.
