Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 160: Nervous

Feeling his father approaching, Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly gained confidence. The plastic hammer that couldn't break the concrete wall suddenly turned into a big iron hammer, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" over and over again, finally causing cracks to appear in the concrete wall.

"Boom!" The buzzing sound of fireworks exploded sounded deep in Zhao Xiaoxiu's mind, and a gorgeous world woven from countless kinds of flowers unfolded before her eyes, dazzling her eyes. Waves of floral fragrance filled her nose, making her intoxicated, and she unconsciously relaxed and drowsy.

"I'm so sleepy," Zhao Xiaoxiu murmured, and stretched out her hand in a daze. The two tender-leafed plants in front of her shook their green leaves, took one step forward, then another, and walked into her palm.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled with satisfaction, held it gently, brought it to the fence beside the house, dug a small hole, and planted it.

Two newly grown slender rhizomes touched the soil and immediately took deep roots. The two leaves twisted and turned, and a pointed vine grew out from the middle, which wrapped around the nearest wooden fence and stuck to it obediently, swaying in the starlight.

At this point, Zhao Xiaoxiu could no longer keep her eyelids open, so she lay on the red brick floor, curled up her body, rested her hands on her cheeks, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Xiaoxiu slept very comfortably that day. She did not have any dreams. Her conscious world was pure white and boundless. Her soul wandered in it as free as the wind.

She didn't know that she had been carried back to the bedroom bed, where she slept for a day and a night with a smile on her face.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stretched lazily and opened her eyes. Above her head was the familiar cement ceiling of the bedroom and a bright incandescent bulb.

She turned her head to look at her cell phone. It was 10:30 in the evening. She didn't pay attention to the date and thought she had only slept for two or three hours.

What happened with the A-level mutant plant before going to bed was still vivid in his mind. Thinking that he had actually tamed an A-level mutant plant, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but let out a "hehe~" chuckle.

A tentacle came in from the outside, poked her hand, and told her to go downstairs to the kitchen to eat.

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded expectantly, and thinking of her father's cooking skills, she immediately got out of bed and ran downstairs.

However, as soon as she ran out of the bedroom door, she found that she had changed into a new set of clothes. She tilted her head in surprise, but it was only because her father found her sleeping on the floor and took her back to change her clothes.

It was not until Zhao Xiaoxiu saw Sister Monkey waiting at the stairs, anxiously gesturing and growling at him that she realized something was not right.

"Sister Monkey, how long do you think I slept?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise.

The monkey sister had never learned human numbers, so she tried hard to convey her meaning to her cubs, saying that the moon and the sun had risen once and set again.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was shocked: "I have slept for a whole day, and this is the second night?"

"That's right." Zhao Gang came out of the kitchen and handed his silly cub a face towel. After she washed her face, he asked, "Are you hungry?"

It would have been fine if no one asked, but when she was suddenly asked, Zhao Xiaoxiu's stomach immediately started to growl. She felt like she could eat a whole cow.

He said pitifully, "Dad, I'm hungry!"

Zhao Gang picked her up and carried her to the kitchen, where he put her on a dining chair and brought a plate of fragrant barbecue over from the stove.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked down, then raised her head in surprise to look at her father. It was his tentacle!

There is one fact that Zhao Xiaoxiu must admit - Dad's tentacles are the most delicious food in the world!
She hadn't eaten tentacle meat since coming to the territory, and her father obviously had no intention of giving it to her.

So when the tentacle meat was suddenly served today, Zhao Xiaoxiu was very shocked.

The plate in front of me looks to be twice as large as before.

The tentacle meat cut into pieces was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, slightly curled, very similar to the low-level mutated grilled squid on the night vision barbecue stall.

But the tentacle meat on the plate was definitely a hundred times more chewy than the fresh ones on the stall. "Eat, eat more." Zhao Gang said concisely. The cub had consumed a lot of energy this time, and he wanted to replenish it for her.

However, he was also surprised that his cub, even though it was so young, could tame a level A mutant plant.

Zhao Gang held his chin with both hands, looking at the cute cub sitting in front of him eating with big mouthfuls of food, feeling full of pride.

As expected of his cub!
Zhao Xiaoxiu's mouth was full of oil. She raised her round eyes and looked at her father with a satisfied smile, "Hey, Dad, it's delicious!"

The monkey sister, who was hiding in the stairwell and peeping secretly, heard the cub's words and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Dad is delicious. Does that mean Zhao Gang is delicious?
Sister Monkey lowered her head and looked at a tentacle crawling darkly on the ground beneath her feet. Suddenly, she had a bold idea - she wanted to take a bite of these tentacles to see how delicious they were.

After reading the dangerous thought of the Monkey Sister, the tentacles immediately stood up, opened their fleshy buds, revealed their blood-red eyes, and stared at it warningly, "How dare you!"

Sister Monkey was so frightened that she jumped three feet high, rushed to the second floor, jumped out of the window on the stairwell, hid in a tree hole in the greenhouse, and trembled.

Zhao Xiaoxiu heard the noise and looked back at the stairwell in surprise, only to see a tentacle swaggering back from inside.

As it passed by her, the tentacles looked at the plate in her hand, as if studying how delicious the barbecue was.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: “.” You’re crazy!

But she was really hungry this time, and she ate the entire plate of grilled tentacles, which was double the portion she had received before, in one go.

Feeling full in the stomach, Zhao Xiaoxiu burped contentedly, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and stretched out her little hand to her father: "Hug me."

Zhao Gang's grinning mouth never relaxed. He handed the dirty dishes to the tentacles to wash, picked up the obedient cub, and went back upstairs to sleep.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt sleepy after eating tentacles, and this time was no exception. She hugged her father's arm as a pillow and fell asleep soon.

She slept so soundly that the alarm didn't even ring, but her biological clock had already woken her up early.

Zhao Gang has been at home taking care of the children these two days, and he has to go to work on the road construction team today.

The father and daughter got up together, dressed and put on shoes, went to the bathroom, stood side by side in front of the mirror, each with a cup of water and a toothbrush, and brushed their teeth and washed their faces in front of the mirror.

The father and daughter in the mirror looked at each other, pointed at the white foam on each other's faces, and laughed exaggeratedly, as if making a deliberate prank.

After washing up, Zhao Gang said to his daughter who was about to open the gate, "There have been some changes in the yard."

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at her father and said "Hmm?" Zhao Gang was about to explain when he heard the exclamations of Grandma Meng and Meng Er from the yard.

"Oh my god! Where's the fence? Why are there so many green leaves on the wall!"

"Oh my god! Everything is overgrown, even the gate is covered with mutant plants. How can I get out?"

Meng Da was startled and rushed out to take a look. He, who was always calm, couldn't help but utter, "Damn!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly looked at her father, and Zhao Gang shrugged and smiled, letting her go out and look for it herself.

Zhao Xiaoxiu swallowed, nervously pushed open the door and walked out, and was stunned by what she saw.
