Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 94 Green Dates
Zhao Xiaoxiu clapped his hands in satisfaction, arranged for Peter Pan, and hurried back to the door of his house, handing out the hoverboard to Dongfang Ling to install the awning materials.

Five hundred kilograms of material is not a lot in weight, but the area is large, so it is not easy to put the small hoverboard down completely.

Dongfang Ling had to use the awning frame to build a relatively wide base and then pile the materials on it.

"Dad, can Sister Monkey and I go out for a while?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked loudly upstairs, looking up.

Zhao Gang poked his head out from the wall, glanced at the floating board piled with materials, then looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu who was looking forward to it, frowned slightly and warned: "Don't leave the planting area."

This is what it means to promise!

Zhao Xiaoxiu was excited and nodded quickly, "Yes, we won't leave the planting area."

As he said this, he waved his hand toward the back of the house, and a macaque that had been hiding there and spying on the strange humans immediately jumped out happily.

Dongfang Ling was totally unprepared for this and was shocked.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoxiu's explanation came out first, otherwise the gun on her shoulder would have been taken off.

"This is the evolved macaque, Sister Monkey, we'll take you back together, so you don't have to go back and bring the hoverboard back to me." Zhao Xiaoxiu explained with a smile. He also picked up Sister Monkey's paw and waved it at Dongfang Ling in a friendly manner.

The macaque also gave Zhao Xiaoxiu face, baring its teeth in a friendly manner and trying hard to make a human-like "smile".

"Evolved macaque?" Dongfang Ling was shocked when he saw the brown-gold monkey in front of him, which was almost as tall as himself when standing up and much stronger than himself.

It turns out that this is the rare evolved animal that everyone talks about. It seems to be able to understand human speech, so its intelligence should be very high.

"Don't worry, Sister Dongfang. Sister Monkey is very well-behaved and docile. She won't hurt you." Zhao Xiaoxiu tried to explain.

Dongfang Ling nodded gently, "Let's go."

So the man and the monkey jumped onto the hoverboard filled with materials and laughed at her.

Dongfang Ling was a little speechless, but also wanted to laugh. He tried his best to hold back his expression and looked at the macaque again and again. Seeing that it exuded a calm aura from head to toe, he pulled the rope of the hoverboard and headed home with the cart full of goods, people and monkeys.

Dongfang Ling is a man of few words, and he has even less to say to a child like Zhao Xiaoxiu.

She was silent all the way, but the hoverboard was pulled very steadily.

Zhao Xiaoxiu hugged Sister Monkey's furry arms and sat on the hoverboard. She felt very curious and pointed at other territories around her, actively introducing them to Sister Monkey:
"The right side is Territory No. 8. We must obtain the consent of the lord before entering other territories. Sister Monkey, you must remember this. If you barge in without permission, other lords will regard you as an enemy."

"The large piece of land on the left is our family's land. It's three hundred acres in size. When we plant crops on it all, we won't have to worry about food anymore. We can eat whatever we want and as much as we want."

"Now, we have reached a fork in the road. Going west is the entrance to the planting area."

A half-collapsed bungalow appeared in front of them. Zhao Xiaoxiu introduced it solemnly: "We have arrived at Sister Dongfang Ling's Territory No. 12. It is just opposite our Territory No. 13. It is not too far away, right?"

Sister Monkey nodded cooperatively, jumped off the hoverboard, and ran to Territory No. 12 first. She looked at the number plate erected on the side of the road, then raised her paw to cover her eyes and observed the small bungalow not far away.

After finishing the work, he waved disdainfully at Zhao Xiaoxiu who arrived later, pointed at the bungalow, then pointed at the building on territory No. 13, indicating that our house was still the best.

Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed and quickly looked at Dongfang Ling. Seeing that she just glanced at Monkey Sister and didn't understand what it meant, he smiled at her guiltily.

Dongfang Ling looked at the monkey sister suspiciously and asked, "What did it say?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Sister Monkey said that the terrain of our territory is different."

Dongfang Ling: "Oh, come in." She didn't urge Zhao Xiaoxiu to get off the hoverboard. She took her hand and led the evolved macaque, who was running around cautiously to explore new places, to the door of her home.

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly got down from the hoverboard and stood obediently in the corridor, waiting for Dongfang Ling to unload all the materials.

Sister Monkey walked around the house and came back to tell Zhao Xiaoxiu that there was a small pond behind the house with lots of edible fish in it.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart moved, and just as she was about to take a look, she was stopped by Dongfang Ling.

"Would you like some wild fruits picked from the mountains?" She brought out a bowl of low-level mutated green dates and handed it to Zhao Xiaoxiu.

"Thank you, sister." Zhao Xiaoxiu politely took two, one for herself and one for Sister Monkey.

Sister Monkey picked it up and put it in her mouth. She started chewing it and spat out a kernel in less than two seconds.

It did not throw away the core. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu had a pocket on her shirt, it opened it, stuffed the core in, and patted it.

Collect them and take them back to plant.

Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise: "Can it be planted?"

Sister Monkey nodded her head to indicate that it was possible.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was pleasantly surprised. He finished eating the sour but delicious mutant green date and even kept the seeds, putting them in his pocket.

Dongfang Ling didn't understand what the child and the monkey were talking about, so he left the green dates behind, put a stool under the porch, and went about his business.

The evolved humans have improved in all aspects, but their evolved abilities are more prominent. Dongfang Ling does not look strong, but he is quite strong in carrying and unloading goods.

She quietly and carefully unloaded the materials from the hoverboard alone. From the corridor in front of the house behind her, she could occasionally hear children laughing and exclaiming, as well as the excited squeaking of monkeys.

Dongfang Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked down the corridor, and suddenly felt that today's sun was very warm.

The child did not make any trouble or run around in other people's territory. He wanted to see the fish pond, so he ran over to ask her and only went in after getting permission.

After watching for about five minutes, he immediately ran back and whispered to the macaque like a little adult:

"Let's go catch some more small fish and bring them back home to raise. When we can't finish them, we can smoke them and dry them. When the potatoes are grown, we can cook the dried fish into mashed potatoes. How delicious it will be!"

Dongfang Ling listened to this beautiful fantasy, and seemed to have smelled the rich aroma of food. He couldn't help swallowing secretly.

"Do you want me to take you back?" After unloading the goods, Dongfang Ling returned the hoverboard to Zhao Xiaoxiu and asked with some concern.

Zhao Xiaoxiu waved her hands and said, "No, no, Sister Monkey and I have to go to the upper reaches of the river to catch small fish. Sister Dongfang, you don't have to see me off."

Zhao Xiaoxiu signaled to Sister Monkey to bring the hoverboard over, then she climbed on and sat down. She waved her little hand as if she was driving a chariot, and shouted, "Go!"

Sister Monkey looked at her with great doting, then, under Dongfang Ling's frightened gaze, she picked up the hoverboard and ran away.

A strong wind blew in her face, and Zhao Xiaoxiu screamed and quickly reached out to hold down the Little Red Riding Hood that was about to fly away from her head.

Soon, the girl's excited screams echoed throughout the entire planting area.

Dongfang Ling felt that he must be crazy to find such a scary creature as a child interesting.
