Chapter 684 Little White Hair and the Crowd
"Put down your weapons, it won't attack us." After Xia Qing ordered his teammates to put down their weapons, he called gently, "Little White Mao, are you hunting here?"
The little white albino weasel raised its nose and sniffed, and the black whiskers on both sides of its nose trembled. Then it retracted its head behind the stone and ran away with the other weasel.
Shi Du asked curiously, "Sister Qing, what kind of animal is this?"
Xia Qing explained, "The albino weasel lived in my territory for a while and later moved away."
Yue Haiying stared at the direction where the little white hair disappeared, "It looks like a brain evolver."
Liangzi added, "It's very fast, so he should be a speed evolver."
Little Bai Mao, like the alpha wolf, is indeed a brain-accelerated evolver. Xia Qing nodded.
"It's good to have weasels in the territory. They can clean up the rats. Is that really a weasel? Why do I look like a stoat?" Huo Lei took a fancy to the snow-white skin of the little animal just now, but since it was raised by Xia Qing, then No need to worry about it.
Yue Haiying replied, "The tip of a stoat's tail is black, and its fur is not this color in spring and summer."
Huo Lei responded, "Brother Yue is well-informed. I heard that albino animals are made from divine grass?"
Yue Haiying looked at Xia Qing, who replied, "The Shencaojia is more than a thousand kilometers away from us. This albino weasel probably didn't come from there."
"That's right." Huo Lei stopped talking after taking a sip of ordinary nutrient solution, closed his eyes and took the time to rest.
The fifteen-minute break was over and when the team was preparing to set off, Xia Qing heard another noise. Not long after, Liangzi also issued a report, "Another animal came from the north. It is not big and there is the sound of dragging prey."
Qi Fu held his backpack tightly, "It's not a badger, is it?"
Yu Shou replied, "A badger usually eats its prey wherever it catches it. Unless it has raised cubs, it will not drag its prey around."
"It's the same albino weasel, it dragged a rabbit!" The short Tan Qi was the first to spot the albino weasel walking through the gaps in the bushes, and also discovered the rabbit it was dragging, which was much larger than it.
When Xiao Bai Mao's head was carefully exposed from the rock again, Xia Qing asked, "Little Bai Mao, is the rabbit you brought here for me?"
Xiao Baimao looked at Xia Qing and didn't move.
Xia Qing took out a small package of freeze-dried food from the pocket of the protective suit, opened it, and walked over.
Xiao Baimao immediately ran further away, hiding behind the stone and looking at Xia Qing.
Xia Qing's sharp eyes discovered that there was a weasel hiding there, but it was not plucked and looked different.
She put the freeze-dried food behind the stone, "Little White Hair, thank you for your rabbit, this is for you to eat."
Little Bai Mao raised his nose and sniffed, then ran over and quickly picked up the freeze-dried bag and ran away.
Xia Qing mentioned this four-pound rabbit and lamented that this little guy was worthy of being a subordinate of the wolf. Not only is it decent and generous, but it is also quite tough in combat. This rabbit is bigger than the one I caught near the northern isolation zone last year when I plucked it.
While Xia Qing was packing the rabbit in the envious eyes of everyone, he finished eating the freeze-dried white hair and continued heading north with a slightly larger weasel.
"dad!"
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the collection team finally saw the iron mesh wall of the territory. Seeing her father standing outside the iron fence from a distance, Tan Qi could no longer suppress her excitement, raised her arms and waved vigorously, and Tan Junjie also raised his arms in response.
At this time, Tan Junjie was leading two team members to patrol outside the iron fence, and happened to reach the exit of the valley between No. 49 and No. 50 mountains.
Such a coincidence is not a coincidence, but Tan Junjie is worried about his daughter who is going on a mission for the first time, so she specially waits here.
Xia Qing, who was leading the team, told Tan Qi, "This section is very safe, Tan Qi, go ahead at full speed."
"Yes!" Speed Evolver Tan Qi immediately rushed to the patrol car, with a bamboo shoot bag weighing more than fifty kilograms jumping on her back, like a rabbit on her back.
Infected by Tan Qi's energy and joy, everyone's steps became much more brisk. After arriving at the patrol car, Tan Junjie asked Huo Lei and Shi Mu to put their backpacks in the back compartment of the patrol car. Although they were evolutionaries, they were old after all. They went out for a day and came back carrying hundreds of kilograms of supplies. , indeed very tired.
Tan Qi's backpack, she insisted on carrying it back to the territory.
Tan Junjie asked Xia Qing, "Is everything going well?"
"On the way, we only encountered a leopard and a few small animals. We didn't encounter any snakes, and there weren't a large number of evolved bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. It was quite smooth." He didn’t fall behind, he dug bamboo shoots very quickly, and his performance was very good.”
Hearing Sister Qing and her father praising her, Tan Qi's sweaty face turned red and her eyes were filled with stars.
Tan Junjie, who was not good at words, was very happy when his daughter was praised. He raised his hand and patted his daughter on the shoulder, and then touched her protective mask. Tan Qi raised her little head and her eyes became slits in laughter.
"Sister Qing!"
Across the iron mesh wall, Zhu Li, who was waiting in the isolation zone, greeted everyone cheerfully, "Auntie, Sister Yan! You are finally back!"
Tang Huai also asked loudly, "Xia Qing, have you dug up the green lantern bamboo shoots?"
Xia Qing nodded, "I dug it."
When they heard that they had dug green bamboo shoots, there was a burst of envious chatter among the crowd.
With the strong walls in place, the lords in the northern area have a greatly improved sense of security. After hearing that Lord No. 3 Xia Qing formed a team to dig bamboo shoots, many people ran to the east gate to wait for their return.
Tang Huai immediately proposed to exchange, "I want a green light!"
Wen Nengjie also joined in the fun, "I want a yellow light. I haven't eaten fresh bamboo shoots for eleven years. I have forgotten what bamboo shoots taste like."
Not all the people who came here wanted to buy bamboo shoots. It was just because the territory was too lonely and boring. Finally, there was something new, so everyone came to join in the fun.
An old lady's voice came out from behind the crowd in an especially loud and anxious voice, "Ajie, how many did Qiqi dig? Are there any green lights?"
This voice nailed Tan Qi directly in place. The tall Xia Qing glanced behind the crowd and knew that the anxious old lady wearing a worn-out protective mask and wrinkled eyes was Tan Junjie's mother. Although the three generations of the Tan family have very different temperaments and expressions, their eye shapes are exactly the same.
"I dug it." After Tan Junjie responded to his mother, he whispered to his daughter, "Your grandmother came here with the transport truck this morning."
He wanted to tell his daughter about this after returning, but he didn't expect his mother to come out to watch the fun.
"Yeah." Tan Qi responded sullenly, not daring to look up at her father, and even her steps became heavy.
Yue Haiying was worried about his old comrade-in-arms, and asked, "Old Tan, are you going to send Qiqi back to the safe zone?"
Tan Junjie used his hand to lift the backpack on his daughter's back to help her reduce the weight, and answered firmly, "No."
Tan Qi's hand holding the backpack strap obviously relaxed, but she still walked with her head down.
Xia Qing, who had sharp ears, heard the sound of the little girl sniffling. (End of this chapter)
