Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 276 Not meeting

Actual combat is the best training. Zhao Xiaoxiu’s swordsmanship is becoming more and more proficient, and the number of prey on the hoverboard is increasing.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that the harvest for the day was almost complete. He dug up a bunch of C-level mutant chives that he had accidentally discovered, wrapped them up with soil, patted the dirt on his hands, looked up at his father who was sitting on the tree and said:

"go home."

Zhao Gang nodded, signaling the cub to go ahead, and he followed with the hoverboard.

Today's harvest was very good, and I unexpectedly harvested a bunch of mutant leeks. Zhao Xiaoxiu was already thinking about how to arrange dinner.

Dog meat soup with leeks should be delicious, right?

Or grilled leeks?

It would be even better if we had flour, as we could also make dumplings stuffed with leeks and meat.

Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and quickened her pace to go home, eager to eat.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard from not far away.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's anxious steps suddenly froze.

someone!

Zhao Gang frowned slightly. He was an evolved human with hidden evolutionary abilities and just happened to have avoided his perception.

The father and daughter were cautious and did not move forward, wanting to wait until those people were far away before leaving.

Unexpectedly, the rustling footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a familiar female voice came over, and Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart skipped a beat.

"Today's harvest is not bad. It's getting dark soon. Let's carry this mutant rhino to a nearby water source and quickly pack it up before returning."

The woman's voice was gentle, neither anxious nor impatient, and one could tell at once that she was a very emotionally stable person.

Then another male voice came, saying excitedly: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth today. I thought we would return empty-handed again. Thanks to your hidden evolution ability, Sheng Qingyang."

When Sheng Qingyang's name was called out, Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart beat faster and she subconsciously grabbed her father's hand beside her.

Zhao Gang looked down at his daughter, and the little girl told him that after the wildfire, Sheng Qingyang was the only person who had seen her alive.

"Do you want to meet him?" Zhao Gang asked in a low voice.

Zhao Xiaoxiu shook his head firmly and refused to see him.

Meeting her would bring too much unnecessary trouble. Although she missed her master very much, she also knew that she must be worried about herself.

But so be it.
Three or four people lifted the mutant rhinoceros and walked over to the bushes not far from the father and daughter.

These people are all people Zhao Xiaoxiu knows.

Meng Er is a talkative person.

Dongfang Ling is silent but sharp-tongued, and he can suddenly say something infuriating.

There is also Zhang Lijun, who still likes to act like a big brother and give orders to others.

Several people came to the water source, and Sheng Qingyang, who was skilled in swordsmanship, drew out his long knife and cut open the mutant rhinoceros on the spot.

Zhang Lijun was in charge of guarding, and Meng Er followed behind her to lend a hand.

Dongfang Ling was not afraid of the cold. He walked to the center of the lake and buried his head in it to see if he could find new species of fish fry in the water.

Meng Er, who never keeps his mouth shut, suddenly said, "Three months have passed. When I think of Brother Gangzi and Xiaoxiu, it's as if they were still here."

As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly froze for a moment. A splash of water sounded, and Dongfang Ling grabbed a mutant snake fish with his bare hands and raised his head from the water.

"Meng Qiu, you are such a mean person, even meaner than me." Dongfang Ling was speechless.

Zhang Lijun sighed, "I still dream about Lao Zhao from time to time, that cold face. Oh, by the way, are the remaining evolution potions really gone?"

Zhang Lijun glanced at Meng Er suspiciously, "Did Xiwa really steal all of them? Is that guy so quick to react? When the forest fire started, everyone was panicking and evacuated in an emergency with the patrol car without any preparation."

When Meng Er heard the tone, he knew that the old man suspected that he and his eldest brother had embezzled the remaining evolution potion, and his eyes instantly turned unfriendly.

"I've said it so many times, but I still haven't found him. So besides Xiwa, were there any other people left in the territory?"

"Besides!" Meng Er sneered: "This is our own business in Territory No. 13, it's none of your business!"

Zhang Lijun's face darkened. These words were really unpleasant to hear.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Sheng Qingyang calmly handed the cut leg to Meng Er and said, "Wrap it with plastic wrap."

Only then did Meng Er calm down and quickly took the rhino leg and packed it skillfully.

After packing up all the edible meat, the four of them immediately washed the blood off their bodies and hurried back.

They were walking in the completely opposite direction of the valley, and the valley was surrounded by steep mountains in the middle, so they couldn't see any corners at all.

From a distance, Meng Er sighed. He said, "My brother and I went to Jiangcheng Market to buy something. I seemed to hear Xiaoxiu's voice. Alas, Territory No. 13 is really deserted now."

"Did you hear Xiaoxiu's voice?" Sheng Qing asked in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Meng Er shook his head awkwardly: "No, it was all an illusion. I saw a person on the road, and his figure was exactly the same as Brother Gangzi's. I was almost scared and thought that person was alive again. It's a pity that the person was much more handsome than Brother Gangzi. It's impossible that they are the same person."

"Hey? Sheng Qingyang, why are you silent again?"

The woman in front of him didn't respond, so Meng Er asked curiously.

Sheng Qingyang waved his hand, "What's there to say about hallucinations?"

She looked very calm and didn't show much emotion about the accident that happened to her little apprentice, but Meng Er knew that how could she not be sad?

It’s strange to say, but he always felt that Brother Gangzi and Xiaoxiu didn’t really die in the wildfire.

Can a wildfire destroy Brother Gangzi's endless magical methods?
"Sheng Qingyang, tell me honestly, do you also think that fire is strange?" Meng Er suddenly came forward, avoiding Zhang Lijun and Dongfang Ling, and said in a low voice.

Sheng Qingyang glanced at him sideways, "Didn't grandma ever tell you that you shouldn't be too curious, or you'll die quickly."

"Yes, what's wrong?" Meng Er was puzzled.

Sheng Qingyang sneered. She didn’t want to talk to an idiot. She gave Meng Er a warning look, “Shut up!”
But after a while, she couldn't help asking, "Did you and Brother Meng hear Xiaoxiu's voice in the trading market?"

Meng Er deliberately pursed his lips and just blinked his eyes.

Sheng Qingyang felt itchy when he saw him like this, but in the end he didn't slap him. He just wondered secretly in his heart, could it be that Xiaoxiu really came back?
The four of them walked further and further away, and night fell.

The black forest was like a ghostly cage, baring its fangs and claws in the wind and making a shrill whimpering sound.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father returned home accompanied by the sounds of "ghosts" before the last glimmer of light in the sky disappeared.

Sister Monkey was at the top of the tree canopy. She was the first to spot the father and daughter and was waiting in front of the green wall.

Seeing the hoverboard piled with prey, it squeaked with joy, grabbed the leash, and actively led the way.

Seeing Sister Monkey’s greedy look, Zhao Xiaoxiu’s depressed mood finally relaxed.

That's fine now.
