My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 9, two cowards

"If you want to find it, you should at least cut down this forest..."

Looking at the dense forest, Jiang Simiao felt helpless. Even if he wanted to look for it, it would be difficult to find it.

Now the ranch has just begun to develop. There are too many things to do every day, and there is not so much free time to find a pet who does not know the exact information.

And today, I’m going to the fishing gear store to buy some things, and then I’m going fishing.

"Forget it, let's go look for it when we have money. After all, we don't even know the news clearly."

"But... the stone door mentioned in the letter. If the stone door is not opened, wouldn't extraordinary creatures like them have no way to leave there?"

Jiang Simiao sat back at the dining table, spread the letter paper on the table, and pondered the contents while eating.

Shimen...

Of course he had an impression. After finding an inexplicable key at home, not long after walking into the mysterious forest, he inexplicably encountered a stone door, and next to it was a wall made of dense trees.

Although the tree grows very tall in my impression, it is not so tall that extraordinary creatures cannot cross it.

So... in the final analysis, it is the problem of this stone gate.

"But the most outrageous thing is that grandpa has the key to the stone door."

Jiang Simiao took a bite of the pancake Shi Lai fried, refolded the envelope and put it away, sighing with emotion.

It seems that grandpa’s previous ranch was even better than what the mayor introduced. Why not let the original owner’s parents inherit it?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Simiao felt that his head was big and he quickly shook his head.

"Oh, forget it, why do you think so much?"

He is not the kind of person who likes to get into trouble, and it is of no use to deal with this kind of thing now. It is better to farm the land honestly first.

How good it is to farm, this is the racial skill of the Xia people, something engraved in their blood.

Thinking about it, Jiang Simiao stuffed another pancake into his mouth.

"Let me tell you, Shi's cooking is really delicious, much better than mine."

Shi Lai, who had just walked in quietly from the door, subconsciously pricked up his ears. When he heard Jiang Simiao's words, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed twice.

"Hey, it's time to come, you're back."

Suddenly hearing Jiang Simiao's voice, Shi Lai's body froze for an instant, the expression on his face became calm again, and he walked behind Jiang Simiao as usual.

"It's the scarecrow...ah, no, it's the straw cat who has done it."

Jiang Simiao asked and turned around.Just as he was about to rub his fleshy flesh, he pressed his paw against his head.

"Meow……"

Hands, oily, dirty.

It looked at Jiang Simiao condescendingly, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to the bedroom. He also gently licked his paws and trimmed his fur.

"It's so... so dishonest!"

Jiang Simiao regretted not being able to enjoy the joy of petting a cat so early in the morning and sighed.

After eating breakfast and washing his hands, he walked out of the house again.

It had to be six o'clock in the morning in spring. Looking eastward, the vast sky was filled with a layer of light white mist.In the distance of the white fog, there is a faint, pink cloud hanging between the mountains.

Jiang Simiao took a deep breath, and when he opened it again, he felt that his whole body was full of energy. He walked to the utility room in a few steps and picked up the ax he had placed before.

"Xiao Ruan~! Get up and work!"

Jiang Simiao passed by the door again, shouted inside, and walked straight to the wasteland that had not been dealt with.

A few minutes later, Shi Lai poked his head out of the door, looked around with a dark face, and said "meow".

When Jiang Simiao heard Shi Lai's words, he just turned his head and saw a pink dumpling thrown out of the door, fell to the ground, then bounced and flew towards Jiang Simiao.

Xiaoruan: ()
"No, don't throw Xiaoruan like a ball!" Jiang Simiao just dropped the ax in a panic, stretched out his hand and squatted down, and Xiaoruan fell firmly into his arms.

Fortunately, Xiaoruan was just a small ball of slime. Sometimes he just wanted to throw Xiaoruan out of the house. Jiang Simiao just took off his strength and hugged it steadily.

Before he could ask Shi Lai why he threw Xiaoruan out, Shi Lai had already changed into a white apron and walked out pulling on his handmade wooden slippers.

"Meow."

Shi Lai walked up to Jiang Simiao, stretched out his paw, and hooked it.

Give me some money and go buy groceries.

"Ah, are you going to buy groceries?" Jiang Simiao was a little confused just now, but then suddenly thought of Shi Lai's outrageous housework ability, and felt that it would be no problem for him to go shopping for groceries.

Thinking about it, he took out five hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and placed them on Shi Lai's paw.

"Yeah," Shi Lai shook his head and hooked his hand again.

"Not enough money?" Jiang Simiao's expression changed.

Although there was indeed no food at home, the old mayor left himself a big bag of rice, a big bag of flour and various soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings out of kindness.

"Meow……"

Shi Lai sighed, but his eyes glanced at Xiaoruan, who was huddled in Jiang Simiao's arms, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

It thought for a moment and explained what happened to Jiang Simiao.

“All the rice has been eaten! And all the spices in the kitchen have been spilled? There’s still pink slime in the flour?!”

Jiang Simiao's face became darker and darker, and he looked down at Xiaoruan with a stern face.

Xiaoruan: (ω；)
"Mmm!" Xiaoruan yelled out quickly, feeling a little guilty as he was trembling a little when being stared at by one person and one cat.

It looked at Shi Lai eagerly, and Mummy called out a few times, indicating that it had no memory of those things.

"Alas..." Jiang Simiao sighed, patted Xiaoruan gently, then stretched out his hand to touch Shi Lai's paw, and enlightened, "What happened, let it go. I'll follow Shi Lai later." You go to town to buy some things together, and take a look at the fishing gear shop that Uncle Alex mentioned."

Seeing Shi Lai standing quietly beside him, Jiang Simiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down at Xiaoruan in his arms.

"Mmm~"

"Don't worry, I won't blame you." Jiang Simiao gently rubbed Xiaoruan's head and said to Shi Lai in a rare seriousness, "Since you have no impression of what happened in the kitchen, let's leave it alone for now. Don’t take it too seriously.”

"But remember, if you want to eat anything in the future, just come to me directly." After saying that, Jiang Simiao put a smile on his face again, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoruan's face and gently pulled it.

"Hmm~"

"Okay~, then you should help me water the ground like you did yesterday. Okay."

"Mmm~"

Xiaoruan still seemed to be in a bad mood, but he nodded obediently, and flipped into the pond next to him with a catapult.

"Then Shi Lai and I will go first and take a good look at the pasture~!"

After speaking, Jiang Simiao smiled and waved his hand, took Shi Lai and walked towards the town.

"M..."

Xiaorui drank enough water, and just when his head popped up, he suddenly saw another pink slime floating in the sky, and disappeared again.

And its body was covered with white flour.

Tom!
The little boy puffed up softly, but accidentally sucked in a few more water.

Hmm...hmmm...

Oops, there's too much water and it's about to overflow.
