My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 20, return gift

After eating, Shi Lai continued to clean up the housework. Jiang Simiao took Xiaoruan out of the house, planning to make some preparations for tomorrow's cleaning.

It was already dark, and a crescent moon hung on the branches. The moonlight was like water, filling the entire sky.The stars are even more dazzling under its illumination.The spring night breeze blows, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the stars are dotted. This quiet night sky is filled with a strong sense of spring.

"Xiao Ruan." Jiang Simiao held Xiao Ruan in his arms and rubbed its body vigorously, as if he wanted to replenish the amount he had not kneaded this afternoon. "Is it comfortable to sleep at home for a day?"

However, because he was using the method of relaxing slimes taught in the illustrated book, Xiao Ruan felt a little bit of enjoyment, and the feeling of comfort was a bit ecstatic. When Jiang Simiao stopped moving, he still couldn't stop.

(╰╯)
"Um..."

Comfortable~
Xiaoruan was still squinting his eyes comfortably and replied subconsciously, but was suddenly lifted up by Jiang Simiao. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Simiao's curved eyebrows. He suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly started Waving his little head.

"Mmm~"

Uncomfortable, uncomfortable...

"Haha, you are quite aware of current affairs." Jiang Simiao was a little dumbfounded. He gently pulled its body and teased, "So why are you so lazy, little slut? You have been secretly replaced by others and you don't even know it." .”

"Um?!"

Xiaoruan originally just squinted his eyes and allowed himself to be manipulated by Jiang Simiao, but when he heard Jiang Simiao say that his identity had been replaced, he was stunned. An exclamation mark popped up above his head, with a look of surprise on his face.

Jiang Simiao:?
Seeing the exclamation mark on its head go away again, Jiang Simiao almost doubted his own eyes.

"Xiao Ruan, wait, when did you have such good control?"

"M?"

Xiaoruan was stunned for a moment and began to think about today's events, his eyes gradually becoming wiser.When Jiang Simiao let go of one hand and waved in front of its eyes, it suddenly came back to reality, pouting and shaking its head.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Jiang Simiao was a little dumbfounded.

It was indeed too difficult for Xiaoruan to think about such a problem.

However, Jiang Simiao suddenly thought that he hadn't read much of Xiaoruan's information yet, so he started reading it first.

[Race]: Pink Slime

[Racial level]: Low and extraordinary
[Skills]: Low-level swallowing, liquefied body, crystal solidification, body control

[Status]: Bailing Blessing (all attributes are improved, doubled when in a happy state, canceled when in a low mood)
[Introduction]: The most common type of slime on Blue Star, a little thing that likes to eat everything.Lively by nature but lazy in character, he has eaten blue water radish and has the ability to produce pink crystals. With the blessing of Bai Linglong, as long as he is in a happy mood, the efficiency and quality of crystals can be increased by 400%.

Jiang Simiao:?
"Blessing of Bai Ling... Is it the blessing of Bai Ling Dragon? Can maintaining the mood improve production efficiency and quality?!" Jiang Simiao was a little confused. He turned around and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

The evening breeze blew gently, bringing warmth to Jiang Simiao's face, and he seemed to hear a faint chuckle.

"Sure enough, he is a little guy who likes to hide and seek." Jiang Simiao suddenly felt a little emotional and laughed. What he originally wanted to say to Xiao Ruan suddenly changed.

He looked at the confused little softie again, and gently hugged it back, leaving an empty space in his hand: "There is a naughty little guy who likes you very much, and turned into you to play with us. If you have the chance, you can also look for it in the ranch.”

"Maybe we can find it."

After the words fell, the wind suddenly blew again. There seemed to be a little more laughter in the wind, and the moon in the sky seemed to be a little brighter.

Jiang Simiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled in response, feeling his whole body relax.

“Go all in on the ranch renovation.”

"I think our ranch may need to be made better to accommodate more friends." Jiang Simiao came back to his senses, patted the little soft, put it on the ground, and returned to the original topic, "Little Soft, since you have rested for so long in the morning, I would like to ask you to clean up all the small things on the ground in the pasture at night, whether it is branches or the remaining pebbles, okay?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Simiao looked into Xiaoruan's eyes, thought for a moment, and then added, patting his little head: "I should be able to make a lot of money fishing today. Go and finish these things. I I’ll prepare what you want to eat.”

"Um~!"

Xiao Ruan's eyes suddenly lit up, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth. She nodded quickly, and ran away humming before Jiang Simiao could offer any other temptations.

Jiang Simiao:......

"I don't think I have to worry about it being unhappy." Jiang Simiao looked at Xiaoruan's running back and rubbed his chin.Thinking of Bai Ling's request for blessing, Jiang Simiao grinned confidently, "But since I am in this ranch, how can I make the pet animal unhappy?"

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, the familiar hum of an engine was heard outside the ranch again.

Jiang Simiao had already brought Xiao Ruan back to the house after taking care of the farm debris. He sat at the door and leaned against Shi Lai, feeling a little sleepy from waiting.

Jiang Simiao yawned when he heard the sound of braking not far away. He was helped by Shi Lai to sit upright. He squinted his eyes and said hello to Sun Yali who got out of the car.

"Hi, Uncle Yali, good evening." Jiang Simiao stood up and walked to Sun Yali.

"Good evening, but judging from your appearance, you must have had a hard day today. Why don't you rest yet?" Sun Yali noticed that Jiang Simiao looked like he had not woken up, and was a little confused.

"Hehe." Jiang Simiao scratched his head in embarrassment and turned to look in the direction of the shipping box. "Today's things may be difficult to handle. Let me help you take a look."

"You're too polite. I've been a driver for 20 years. I'm very familiar with shipping." Sun Yali laughed and patted his chest. He was so proud when he mentioned his career.

"Then let me see what troublesome thing you are talking about."

He followed Jiang Simiao. When he was still some distance away from the shipping box, Jiang Simiao suddenly stopped, turned around, and pointed at the wooden footbath covered with vines.

"This is it."

Sun Yali took a step forward and stuck his head out. Jiang Simiao first pulled back the morels, then pulled away the vines, revealing a pot of plump fish.

"So many fish! Did you go to fry fish? So many!" Sun Yali, who was still calm at first, saw this thing, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly took a few steps forward and squatted down.

He used the light to carefully count the quiet but still fresh fish in the basin, "Salmon, bass, trout... they are all very plump fish and they are all kept so fresh."

Sun Yali turned to look at Jiang Simiao, a little stunned: "How on earth did you do it! This... I'm sorry, I have to calculate it slowly first."

Before Jiang Simiao could speak, he quickly added.

"Wait a minute, let me get the scales and ice buckets out of the car." Sun Yali really never thought there would be so many fresh fish. After all, he was only responsible for the ranch, not the fishery.

"Ah haha..." Jiang Simiao scratched his head in embarrassment and turned his head, and Shi Lai happened to look over.

A person and a cat looked at each other, and in the next moment, they quickly turned their heads and their tails shook unnaturally, causing Jiang Simiao to cover his mouth and snicker.

Only poor Sun Yali was still counting the species, weighing, and calculating, and was a little busy.

……

In the forest, the giant gourd-leaf frog squatted on a high place not covered by the trees, looking at the hazy moonlight. The image in his memory gradually overlapped with Jiang Simiao's.

It looked in the direction of the pasture, looking longingly.

I haven’t been back to see it for a long time. Do you want to take the little frogs to see it tomorrow?
He taught me that we need to help each other...
