Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 203 Farm Renovation

Friday, January 11th.

partly cloudy.

Although it was morning, the farm was already bustling with activity.

"Quack~"

RunRun Duck lay on a big rock, occasionally looking up at his busy friends, and patting the rock with his wings to cheer them on.

Today is the day to build a tree house for the Wood Rat family.

With the experience from last time, the little ones have already become familiar with it and do not need Chen Yuan’s guidance.

First, Tietouwa found a piece of wood of suitable thickness, and then he gently chopped it with the steel blade. With a click, the wood was cut into three evenly divided sticks.

Winter is not like midsummer, the temperature is lower and there is no need for a runner to help water and cool down.

The Wood Rat family followed closely behind, tying up the evenly distributed wooden sticks with ropes and tying them behind the Falling Horned Beast and Coke.

"Hooho~"

The Falling Horned Beast rumbled on the ground. With its amazing strength, it dragged the sticks without any pressure. In a short while, it transported them to a tall camphor tree. This was the location of the tree house that Chen Yuan had planned.

"Ow~"

In fact, with the Falling Horned Beast here, Coke doesn't need to do anything at all.

But Coke really likes the feeling of running wildly in the yard dragging a bunch of sticks, with the breeze surrounding him, howling as he runs, and the friction of the tree trunks against the ground raising clouds of dust.

In just a moment, the yard was filled with flying dust.

Chen Yuan was furious: "Coke!"

"Ow!"

Keke slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of Chen Yuan, giving him an aggrieved look.

Chen Yuan remained unmoved, his face serious: "If you continue like this, don't drink Coke for the next month."

Coke: “=()”

When the wooden sticks were transported under the camphor tree, it was Chen Yuan's turn to take action.

He easily climbed to the fork of the camphor tree's trunk. The little ones handed him wooden sticks and they began to build a tree house.

The sun was hanging high above their heads. With the concerted efforts of Chen Yuan and the little ones, the wooden house was finally completed.

This wooden house is bigger and more exquisite than the one of Den Den Flying Cat, which makes Den Den Flying Cat puff up his cheeks and look envious: "Dian Den!"

Chen Yuan's voice came from the wind: "You live in a wooden house alone, and they live in a wooden house together. Which one do you think is better?"

"Dian Dian."

Chen Yuan's words made Diandian Feimao fall silent.

Yes, I am happy enough living alone in a wooden house.

Chen Yuan's voice continued: "When you find another electric flying cat, I will help you expand the wooden house."

After these words were spoken, the electric flying cat first widened his eyes, then stared at the ground blankly and fell into silence for a long time.

Chen Yuan's words seemed to have touched upon Diandian Feimao's not-so-pleasant memories.

After a while, Diandian Flying Cat turned his head to look at Runrun Duck lying on the stone, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Diandian!"

Yaya, I want to challenge you!!!
Ignoring the playful Runrun Duck and the Electric Flying Cat, Chen Yuan stood in the yard, looked around, and fell into deep thought: "The development of the farm seems to have reached a bottleneck."

After Tietouwa's hard work, the wasteland west of the farm has long been planted with spiritual plants and tall trees standing there.

Although it is winter when everything is withering, these spiritual plants have not been affected. They are still lush and flourishing, and rustle in the breeze.

After the hard work of the little ones and Chen Yuan's careful supervision, there are no new sprouts in the field, and the smallest Kongming fruit tree is already three meters tall.

Looking from a distance, this is not farmland, but more like a small forest.

But there is no more space in this field for further planting. If you want to plant other spiritual plants, you need to expand outward.

But the fields further out do not belong to the farm.

However, there is a field on the east side of the farm. The old man used to grow cash crops here, and Chen Yuan decided to plant all the spiritual plants here in the future.

But looking at the internal environment of the farm, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he soon came up with a new idea.

The current environment inside the farm is too messy and looks unattractive. He has plenty of time and money now, so it's a good opportunity to improve it.

Since there are fields on the east and west sides of the farm, it is a good idea to plant two neat rows of trees on both sides of the yard. Not only will it look beautiful, but it will also provide shade in the summer.

"We can also plant a few trees next to the fish pond." Chen Yuan muttered.

"quack!"

RunRunDuck firmly opposed it.

How can I bask in the sun then?
Chen Yuan rubbed Runrun Duck's head, but the latter pushed it away with its wings.

Damn farmer, don't rub my hair!
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Just plant a few trees, it won't block the fish pond completely."

After a pause, he planned a beautiful future for Run Run Duck: "Duck, think about it carefully. When you are lying on the stone in the sun, a fruit falls from the tree next to you and falls right into your mouth."

"You don't have to move your body, just move your mouth, and you can eat the delicious fruit."

"Aren't you tempted?"

"quack!"

RunRun Duck's eyes lit up, and it wanted to pat Chen Yuan's shoulder with its wings to express its satisfaction, but found that it was too short to do so.

In a rage, Runrun Duck simply stood on tiptoe and slapped Chen Yuan's shoulder hard.

"The yard also needs to be renovated." Chen Yuan's eyes flashed.

The yard nowadays is too simple and has no aesthetic appeal at all.

Of course, Chen Yuan would not follow Zhang Hao's example and hang colorful light strips and messy decorative items all over the yard.

The reason why Zhang Hao arranged it this way is entirely because of the need for foreign tourists to take photos.

In order to help female tourists take better photos, Zhang Hao even learned the decoration style of hotels and homestays in Yeyu City, Yunnan Province, and installed a glass floor on the rooftop. In this way, he could capture himself in the mirror, his original self, and the mountains in the distance at the same time in the camera.

Female beast tamers who took beautiful photos posted their little black books one after another, and Zhang Hao's Good Luck Farmhouse took the opportunity to gain traffic.

If Zhang Hao doesn't become the richest man in Xuanhe Village, who will?
Chen Yuan hopes that the yard will be simple and elegant.

But he didn't have much idea about the renovation of the yard for the time being. He did have an idea before - to place a projector in the yard so that he could watch movies with the little ones at night.

It can even allow hardworking and studious kids like Shuangsheng Huaqi to practice their skills while watching the projector, instead of holding their mobile phones and staring at such a small screen all day long.

But this idea was shattered with the arrival of winter.

It is more comfortable to stay in a warm room on winter nights.

Chen Yuan came to the lobby and told the old man about his idea of requisitioning the fields in the east and transforming the farm.

The old man held the sleeping Han Lie Niu in his arms and waved his hand: "You can do it yourself."

Chen Yuan was stunned.

He never expected that the old man would agree so readily without any hesitation.

This is quite different from the impression he had of the old man.

As we all know, most elderly people are stubborn about old things, from small things like meat, vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator that are about to expire or have already expired, to all kinds of useless stuff piled up in the warehouse, to large items in the home, they are absolutely reluctant to throw them away.

When Chen Yuan requisitions the land, he will inevitably dispose of the cash crops that the old man has worked so hard to grow;
When he renovated the yard, he would definitely throw away some useless things that he was reluctant to discard, but the old man didn't object. This was very unusual.

Perhaps seeing the surprise and confusion in Chen Yuan's eyes, the old man smiled and said, "Do whatever you want to do now. Grandpa can't help you now, but can only support you unconditionally."

"You are much more capable than us."

Chen Yuan nodded: "With your words, Grandpa, I will make drastic changes to the farm."

"Go ahead." The old man waved his hand.

Soon, there were clinking and donging sounds of things being thrown in the yard. Chen Weiyi looked through the window and saw many old items being thrown on the ground by Chen Yuan as if they were garbage. He subconsciously wanted to stand up and stop it.

But when he saw the cold cow in his arms, he finally suppressed his emotion: "Forget it, the old must go before the new can come."

"A new era has arrived, and the old one should be eliminated."

Chen Yuan and the little ones used this rare free time to transform the farm, and no one was idle.

Including RunRun Duck.

Chen Yuan forcibly pulled the sleepy Yaya up from the big rock and asked it to help clean the yard inside and out.

In order to make Yaya work willingly, Chen Yuan had to educate her: "The farm is my home, and the environment depends on everyone."

With a little help from a spirit fish, Yaya, who had a clear mind, successfully joined the yard cleaning operation.

The Mu Lingshu family is the most dedicated.

The fluffy big tail is their broom. When the Falling Horned Beast drags away the heavy objects, the Wood Spirit Rat family will instantly come in and sweep away the dust in the corners.

They clean very carefully, not missing any tiny corner, and are as rigorous and serious as scientific researchers.

"Cough cough."

As soon as Chen Wenhao returned to the farm, he saw the dust flying all over the sky. He quickly covered his mouth and kept coughing.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Yuan put his hands on his hips, his eyes sparkling, like an emperor looking down at the vast country: "I want to transform the farm."

"Ouch!"

Coke raised his head high.

The master is the emperor, and I am General Xiaotian!
"How to transform it?" Chen Wenhao became interested.

Chen Yuan simply described his imagined farm plan: "The farmland in the southwest will remain untouched and will still be used to grow vegetables for daily consumption."

"Plant spiritual plants in the fields on the west and east sides, and plant two rows of trees along the road from the farm entrance to the yard."

The effect picture imagined by Chen Yuan: (Note: For reference only, all is subject to the actual object)

"The yard needs special renovation. It can be linked to the fish pond and a ditch can be opened around the yard."

In this way, when you sit in the yard to rest, you can enjoy the swimming posture of the spirit fish, and it also gives the spirit fish more space to move around.

Chen Wenhao's eyes flickered as he asked a question: "But once the spiritual fish reaches a higher level, it will acquire special abilities. Will this have an impact on the little guys on the farm?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Yaya is hoping that these spirit fish will cause trouble, so that it will have a legitimate reason to deal with them."

Chen Wenhao was silent for a moment.

"In addition to digging ditches, we can also build a small pavilion." Chen Yuan continued.

Chen Wenhao couldn't help but smack his lips: "Brother, it sounds like the cost is not low."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay. We don't need the money now."

Living in a remote mountain village, Chen Yuan has almost no place to spend money. On weekdays, he just needs to make sure the little ones are well fed and watered.

But as a consultant of the association and able to make some extra money by selling spiritual plants, Chen Yuan is very optimistic about his current financial situation.

"By the way, how is your research going?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked about the main matter.

Yesterday they brought the gray-feathered falcon family back to Xuanhe Village and temporarily placed them in the former wildlife shelter, which is remote and quiet, and will not be disturbed by outsiders.

As soon as he arrived there, Chen Wenhao began his research work without stopping.

"At present, we are only examining and recording its physical condition. It is too early to draw a conclusion." Chen Wenhao replied slowly in a calm tone.

"How's Professor Song doing?" Chen Yuan asked.

Chen Wenhao said: "Teacher needs to go back to the Magic City to report the situation first, and then wait for my preliminary research results."

“If it is determined that their advancement methods are replicable and universal, teachers will come back to conduct research.”

Chen Yuan nodded in understanding.

“By the way, take me to the breeding base tomorrow. I want to record the physical condition of the Snow Cloud Wolf.” Chen Wenhao spoke again.

"No problem." Chen Yuan nodded.

The two chatted for a while and then joined in cleaning the yard.

I don’t know how long it took,
"It's finally clean." Chen Yuan looked at the newly renovated yard and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he just cleaned the yard inside and out and threw away some old items that might be older than Chen Yuan, the beauty of the yard was improved by several levels.

"I will go to Fengcheng to participate in the competition in a few days. By then, I will ask grandpa to hire someone to expand the ditch and build a pavilion."

"When I come back, the farm will have changed a lot." Chen Yuan smiled, full of anticipation for the upcoming transformation of the farm.

It's dim at night and the lights are bright.

The three grown men of the Chen family sat at the dining table, enjoying the rare reunion moment.

It has been several days since Chen Wenhao came back, but this is the first time he has had dinner with the two of them without any outsiders.

"I didn't expect that I would be so busy when I returned home. I can't spare much time to accompany grandpa." Chen Wenhao smiled helplessly.

Chen Yuan pointed at the cold cow lying beside the old man's legs and said with a smile: "Grandpa has to accompany this little guy, why does he need you to accompany him?"

Chen Weiyi and Han Lienniu have a surprisingly harmonious relationship.

The old man likes to take the Hanlie cow for a stroll in the village, and then leave in a leisurely manner under the envious gazes of the old men and women.

He is currently the only older beastmaster in Xuanhe Village.

In order to make the Frosty Bull stronger, the old man started looking at his mobile phone for the first time, searching for instructional videos on pet breeding and training all day long.

Chen Yuan advised more than once: "Grandpa, just let me help with the training."

As a result, the old man stared and asked: "Who is its beastmaster?"

Since the old man was enjoying it, Chen Yuan stopped trying to persuade him.

Well, it can add some fun to the old man's boring life.

Chen Wenhao rubbed his brows and sighed: "I originally wanted to study the special physique of the cold cow, but I haven't found the time yet."

Although his skill proficiency is not high, he can burst out powerful power. Chen Wenhao is very curious about the Hanlie Ox.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Just take care of the things you have on hand first."

The most urgent task is to study the Gray-Feathered Falcon and the Snow Cloud Wolf first, and try to find another way to advance.

Once there are some results, Chen Wenhao's research results will shock the entire academic community.

Chen Yuan is looking forward to that day.

But before that, he still had one very important thing to do - unlock the advancement method of the Flame Cloud Falcon.
