Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 24 Shen Que
On the way to meet an acquaintance to do something, Meng Laoer suddenly remembered the Yiluosong that Shanyuan mentioned last night.

"Brother Gangzi, why did you suddenly think of coming back to rescue us last night? Did you see any Xolotl?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was held in Zhao Gang's arms, felt a pang in her heart when she heard this.

She saw it. She saw the alien pine being swallowed by her father in one gulp.

But this is not something you can say!
Zhao Xiaoxiu winked at Zhao Gang frantically, and Zhao Gang smiled in confusion, "What's wrong with Luo? What's wrong with Song?"

Meng Laoer: "I just heard that monk mention it." He actually didn't know what it was.

Zhao Gang: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Boss Meng patted his brother and asked in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"

Meng Lao Er shook his head. "Nothing, just asking casually."

I just suddenly thought of this and wanted to ask.

After all, last night Shanyuan’s Lao Deng confessed that he had drugged them all. Although he and his brother were still locked in the haunted house at that time, they still heard Shanyuan say in shock: Why didn’t you faint!
Despite the powerful drug, Brother Gangzi and Xiaoxiu looked fine last night. Meng Laoer was getting more and more confused the more he thought about it.

However, he was not confused for long, as his mind was immediately occupied by the iron rice bowl in the factory.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter finally met the good friend who had connections mentioned by Meng Laoer.

Shen Que is 26 years old this year. He is a member of the Qinghe Hunting Team and serves as the captain of a five-man team in the hunting team.

After taking the evolution potion, he evolved the ability to talk to sparrows and has first-class reconnaissance skills.

Her mother is somewhat related to Grandma Meng. In terms of seniority, the two Meng brothers should call her aunt.

However, because the three of them are of similar age, they only call each other by their first names and do not have many opportunities to meet each other.

But Shen Que's mother cares very much about her old niece, Grandma Meng, and she loves her niece as well as her two sons.

As soon as he heard his daughter say that the base factory was recruiting, he immediately told the news to Grandma Meng and asked the two brothers of the Meng family to prepare in advance.

Five hundred points per person was the price agreed upon by Shen Que and the factory deputy director.

If it were someone else, without favors, they wouldn’t even get half a spot with a thousand points.

Shen Que brought a few people to an empty corner and his eyes fell on Zhao Gang holding the child for two seconds.

He looked at the two Meng brothers with cold eyes, as if he was about to get angry.

She suppressed her temper and whispered, "The youngest daughter of the deputy director of the suspension factory owed me a favor and promised to give me a quota. Several of my brothers who were seriously injured and disabled asked me privately, but I didn't tell anyone."

After saying that, he raised his chin towards Zhao Gang and his daughter, motioning the two Meng brothers to explain what this operation was.

Why did you bring outsiders here?

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Huodie looked at each other secretly, feeling embarrassed.

The Meng brothers were also stunned. This was purely a lack of information.

My mother told them that if they got 500 points they could enter the factory, but she didn't say only one person could enter.

But since they were already there, Boss Meng gave Zhao Gang a reassuring look and wanted to borrow a step to talk to Shen Que.

Shen Que: "Let's talk here if you have anything to say."

Boss Meng is 28 years old this year, two years older than Shen Que.

But no one knew whether it was because Shen Que's murderous aura was too strong or because of the seniority suppression, but Boss Meng was inexplicably half a head shorter than her.

"Auntie Que." As soon as Boss Meng opened his mouth, he was glared at by Shen Que, "Don't call me auntie!"

This is where her team members live. If the team members knew that she had these two nephews at such a young age, they would tease her for who knows how long.

Afraid of being heard, Shen Que whistled into the air.

The whistle was very special, short and sharp.

Soon, a gray, inconspicuous mutant sparrow flew over and hovered over the heads of the few people, monitoring them.

After confirming that the wall had no ears, Shen Que took a deep breath, held his forehead and said, "I know what you two brothers want to say, but there is only one spot. I'll give you two minutes to discuss it. Tell me when you're done."

Meng Lao Er smiled flatteringly: "Can't we add one more? Brother Gangzi is a good man!"

Shen Que's sharp phoenix eyes glanced up and down at the father and daughter.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled politely. Her little face, which had become more rosy due to being taken care of by her father, looked tender and good to bite.

A pair of round, twinkling eyes of a puppy, coupled with that well-behaved smile, makes people's hearts soften.

Shen Que usually encounters either naughty kids who are spoiled by their parents and become lawless, or disabled children who are silent and ignore others.

I have never seen a smile as sweet as Zhao Xiaoxiu's, which can make people feel soft inside.

She lowered her head and coughed twice, reminding herself not to get herself into more trouble because of soft-heartedness. She leaned against the wall with her hands folded, waiting for the others to come up with a conclusion.

Meng Lao Er took two small steps towards her and said in a low voice:
"Shen Que, Xiaoxiu lost her mother when she was born, and the father and daughter depend on each other for survival. If there is no job in the factory, Brother Gangzi will have to go out of the base to carry out missions. If something unexpected happens, Xiaoxiu will become an orphan."

Shen Que raised his eyes and glared at Meng Lao Er: "I gave you face, right?"

Still want to blackmail her morally?
There are so many orphans in this base, and she can’t take care of them all!

Meng Laoer didn't expect that Shen Que would give in just by saying a few words to express his pity for her.

He motioned to his brother to bring the sack over, and under Shen Que's vigilant gaze, he mysteriously opened a hole in it.

He pointed his index finger at the sack, asking her to see clearly what was inside.

Shen Que didn't take it seriously at first, but her nose twitched and a fresh vegetable scent drifted into her nose, and her body leaning against the wall straightened up instantly.

Looking down, I saw two fresh cabbages and two bunches of tomatoes lying quietly in the burlap bag.

The color of the cabbage is a bit strange, colorful.

There are also tomatoes, which grow in bunches, like tomato-red grapes.

That aroma, of course, was the smell of cabbage and tomatoes.

It was a smell she had smelled before she was thirteen.

Shen Que excitedly stretched out her hand towards the sack, and Meng Laoer stuffed the entire sack into her hand, smiled, and whispered in her ear:
"Do you know why I strongly recommend Brother Gangzi to you? Because he found all these fresh evolved vegetables, and if you want to eat them in the future, he can bring them back."

"Because he can grow evolved fruits and vegetables."

Meng Laoer patted Shen Que's shoulder with an honest expression that said, "That's all I have to say to you. The rest is up to you to decide."

Shen Que touched the vegetables in the sack. God had no idea how greedy she was.

But I still have to endure it.

"Zhao Gang, right?" Shen Que raised his chin towards the father and daughter.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was delighted and urged her father to go over quickly and transfer the points to Shen Que.

When it comes to social conventions, Zhao Xiaoxiu doesn't dare to count on her father at all.

Seeing Shen Que accept the points, he said, "I'll give it a try. It may not work, so don't have too high expectations."

Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately said gratefully: "I'm sorry to trouble you, pretty sister. If Dad's matter makes you feel very embarrassed, then forget it. Dad and I can continue to go out of the base to carry out missions."

After saying that, he nodded seriously and emphasized: "Really!"

Shen Que seriously suspected that if she failed to accomplish this task for this little guy, that tender little face would definitely be filled with disappointment.

Think about the disappointed look on the little guy's face. He was so tiny, he just squatted in the corner and cried silently.

Shen Que touched his short hair irritably: My father is such a scoundrel!
"Wait," she said.

Picking up the sack of vegetables, Shen Que waved his hand and left impatiently.

She wants a midnight snack tonight, Kukuxuan’s tomato and cabbage salad!
