Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 109 The villain

Sister Monkey was very fast and Zhao Xiaoxiu was the first to arrive.

When I arrived at Territory No. 12, I didn't see Dongfang Ling.

Without the lord's permission, Zhao Xiaoxiu could not enter the territory, so she had to stand on the side of the road and shout, "Sister Dongfang! I'm here to exchange the fry!"

Dongfang Ling's voice came from behind the house.

"come in."

Then there was a loud splash of water, and then there was no sound.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at Sister Monkey curiously. Sister Monkey shook her head to indicate that she didn't understand. She pulled the cub on the hoverboard into Territory No. 12 and walked towards the back of the house.

The last time Zhao Xiaoxiu came, there was a pond behind the house with many fish in it.

Just a few days later, the pond became bigger and was almost as big as the natural puddle by the river near her home.

But this is not the point. The point is the water in the pond.

There is a mountain behind Territory No. 12, and land on the other three sides. It is not adjacent to a river, but it can store such a large pool of water in a short time, which is really amazing.

Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced around the pond but didn't find any pumping equipment.

The only possibility is that there is water bubbling out from underground.

"Sister Dongfang?" Zhao Xiaoxiu was standing by the fish pond. Not seeing Dongfang Ling, she called out tentatively into the water.

"Splash!" With a loud bang and splashing water, a black figure jumped out of the water, his entire body exposed, leaving only half of his calf splashing in the water to maintain buoyancy.

Zhao Xiaoxiu widened her eyes, and for a moment she thought she saw the legendary mermaid that lived in the water.

But unfortunately not.

"What did you bring?" Dongfang Ling asked with his hands on his hips while floating in the water, wearing a pure black underwater warm tights.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She jumped off the hoverboard and revealed the cotton cloth and cotton she had brought with her.

There are also a bunch of pots and buckets.

Dongfang Ling couldn't help laughing, "You want to buy all my fish fry, but your supplies are not enough."

After she finished speaking, she dived into the deep pool water. After about two or three minutes, she finally swam towards the shore holding a net bag of small fish fry.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stood on the shore and clearly saw her soft and silky posture like a sea snake, and her cheeks behind her ears, which were the same color as her skin, but slightly opened with a thin slit?
Should it be the cheek? Zhao Xiaoxiu was not sure.

The child was stunned.

She discovered that Dongfang Ling could breathe freely underwater!
Because she can breathe, the environment in the water is no different to her than on land, and she can even work in the water with tools.

There was another splash, and Dongfang Ling surfaced, climbing ashore on the wooden rope ladder he had hung by the water.

She was also holding a net in her hand, which was full of mutant fish of different species, all of which were edible.

Some fish have sharp teeth and are trying to bite through the fishing nets to escape.

Unfortunately, before it could act, it was bitten by another fish of the same species but slightly larger.

The bright red blood immediately spread in the turbid pool water. Dongfang Ling, who had just climbed ashore, saw it and frowned unhappily. He directly pulled the net out of the water and threw the two fish that were eating each other onto the ground.

The fish without water could only flutter for a few times before it died. Dongfang Ling sneered, picked it up and threw it into Zhao Xiaoxiu's bucket. "I give it to you. It's a little small, but it tastes good when grilled."

"But I suggest you keep them separate from other species, otherwise..."

"What else?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked curiously.

Dongfang Ling gave a wicked smile and said in a gloomy voice: "Otherwise, all the fish in your pond will be eaten by them." She always used the strongest fishing nets to keep these vicious fish separately.

Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't dare to accept such a fish, and waved her hand: "Then I don't want this kind of fish, I will raise other ones."

Dongfang Ling shrugged, "Whatever you say."

"There are still eighty mutant fish in the net. Can we catch them all for you?" she asked.

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded quickly and asked Sister Monkey to take out the basin and bucket, fill them with water first, and then let Dongfang Ling pour the fish fry in.

Dongfang Ling readily took the cotton and cotton cloth home and accepted them.

As the two sides finished their transaction, other lords arrived one after another.

Those who had sufficient supplies, like Sheng Qingyang and Bai Cailing, simply exchanged them for the sweaters and trousers they had knitted themselves.

Dongfang Ling also generously gave ten to twenty small fish fry.

Some of the others brought thick boots over, but when Dongfang Ling saw the stains on them, he didn't even bother to roll his eyes and just said one word: "Get lost!"

Zhang Lijun and his two companions gathered 20 kilograms of charcoal and exchanged them for ten larger fish, intending to take them home and raise them as they pleased, and cook and eat if they died.

"Right!" While the lords were all there, Zhang Lijun suggested, "I saw in the weather forecast that it's going to snow tomorrow. I have a fellow villager in the city who sells charcoal. How about we all pool together a thousand kilograms and I'll have him deliver it to our door?"

Bai Cailing, who was about to leave, stopped when she heard this and turned around to ask, "How many points per kilogram? Can it be delivered today?"

Zhang Lijun patted the satellite phone in his arms and said, "Just tell me what you want. If it's less than 1,000 kilograms, I'd be embarrassed to have someone deliver it to you."

"Of course, we want a lot more, so we will definitely get the wholesale price. Don't worry about that. Don't you know who I am, Old Zhang?"

Someone shook his head, ignored him and walked away.

Zhang Lijun immediately looked at the seven or eight people who were still left. Everyone seemed to be interested, as having charcoal would definitely be better than burning firewood.

Seven or eight people discussed it, and together with Zhang Lijun and three other people, each of them contributed 70 to 80 kilograms of charcoal, and asked Zhang Lijun to call his friend immediately to have the charcoal delivered.

"15 points per pound, is that okay?" Zhang Lijun finished talking on the phone alone, walked back and said to everyone.

Bai Cailing and others nodded and said yes, it was not too expensive and the price was acceptable.

Dongfang Ling poked Zhao Xiaoxiu who was ignored by the adults and asked, "Where is your family?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her head and smiled softly at her, "My father has already bought it, my family doesn't need it."

The monkey sister squeaked twice to remind the cub that the charcoal your father bought was only 10 points per pound.

The monkey's paw pointed at Zhang Lijun who was smiling in the crowd. He was lying. The voice on the other end of the phone clearly said that it was 10 points per kilogram, and they were charged 200 points for shipping alone.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes rolled and she had already pressed the calculator in her mind. Zhang Lijun's move directly took away 300 points from her.

It’s not much, but it’s not a small amount either!

"What are you two talking about?" Dongfang Ling watched the child and the monkey making riddles for a long time, but he didn't understand, so he asked in confusion.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister, who were so engrossed in their conversation, only then realized that there was a living person next to them.

Sister Monkey pointed at Zhang Lijun. Zhao Xiaoxiu waved to Dongfang Ling to lower his head and whispered in her ear, "You can bargain with him again. The charcoal my father bought from the city yesterday was only 10 points per pound."

When Dongfang Ling heard it, he immediately tasted the flavor.

Take a look at this little thing in front of you. It looks very small, but I didn’t expect it to be such a little smart guy.
