Chapter 19 Li Wu: Brother, I think Xiao Hui looks down on me a bit!
Xu Ran reported the incident to the police the next day.
It was an old acquaintance, police officer Wu Jun.
Wu Jun was a seasoned veteran; he could tell what had happened just by looking at the salt scattered on the ground.
"This is like rubbing salt into your field, how wicked of you."
Wu Jun clicked his tongue.
"But without evidence, and even if there were evidence, we can't handle it since no actual damage has been caused."
"You'd better install surveillance cameras on the farm, so that no matter what economic damage is caused, you can find someone to compensate you."
Hearing Wu Jun's words, Xu Ran nodded.
"Okay, we'll install the surveillance cameras today."
The police left after understanding the situation, but Xu Ran did not intend to let the person go easily. So he asked Li Wu to go to the village to inquire who was injured last night.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that an old man had indeed been scratched on the neck by an animal. He seemed to have been frightened the night before, had a fever, and was unable to speak. He had already been taken to the hospital.
Hearing that the other party was hospitalized, Xu Ran's anger subsided somewhat.
He reaps what he sows.
The main problem is that the salting method is too harsh. If too much salt is added to a piece of land, it will become saline-alkali land. You can't see the problem from the outside, but nothing will grow there.
Moreover, it would take decades to recover.
That's truly vicious.
The surveillance system that Xu Ran redeemed from the system comes with a built-in intelligent alarm function. When a humanoid creature enters the farm fence at night, the alarm will be automatically triggered.
learn from mistakes.
That's the only way to be safe.
Xu Ran specially gave the owl an extra meal.
Thanks to it, a tragedy was averted.
"The antenna is well made."
"As expected of a war tyrant."
Xu Ran stroked the owl's head and praised it.
Seeing this, Little Grey immediately wagged its tail and barked, indicating that it had also contributed and deserved praise.
"You did a good job too."
Xu Ran was very accommodating.
Hearing him say that, Little Grey wagged its tail happily.
The farce ended abruptly. Later, Li Wu told me that the injured old man even wanted to sue the farm and caused trouble at the police station. However, he became too emotional and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that night, and was sent to the hospital.
Xu Ran simply shrugged and didn't pay much attention.
He has always just wanted to live his life well, to keep it easy and simple.
Two days later, the sunflower seeds in the field began to sprout.
Green shoots sprouted from the ground.
Countless new lives begin to greet the first rays of sunlight that belong to their lives.
One advantage of growing sunflowers is that they are very beautiful when they bloom, forming a large golden sea of flowers.
It's pleasing to the eye.
Because the seed sprouted, Xu Ran's task was successfully completed.
[Budding Mission Completed.]
Number of seeds germinated: 19984
[Task Rating: Excellent.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a top-tier reward: Skill: Mountain Expert]
[Expert in the wilderness: When the host is active in the mountains and forests, their reaction speed, sensory abilities, and understanding of the flora and fauna in the mountains and forests are enhanced.]
The mission rewards arrived as scheduled.
This time, the reward is actually a skill!
This is absolutely fantastic!
The farm happens to be located right behind the vast Qinling Mountains, which cover an area of immense size and are home to countless wild animals and rare medicinal herbs.
Xu Ran really did have the idea of going into the mountains to make money.
There was no other way; we were poor.
They were so poor that all they had left were five greenhouses, 20 mu of farmland, more than 20 pigs, more than 20 sheep, more than 100 chickens, and a vegetable garden!
The main problem is that we don't have much cash left; it's all invested in the farm, so we need to make some cash, even if it's just ten thousand or eight thousand.
He now possesses the skills of [Rare Plant Distribution Map], [Beast Taming Master], and [Mountain Expert], making him an absolute must-have for venturing into the mountains.
It would be a shame not to go mountain running here!
So, Xu Ran decided to go hiking the next day.
He called Xu's father over to look at the farm, and he planned to go into the mountains every day for the next few days, leaving early and returning late.
Xu's father had nothing to do, so he was happy to look after the farm for a few days.
It's good to play with the dog every day.
Mr. Xu arrived in the afternoon.
He first looked at the newly built greenhouse, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
After farming for so long, I've found that greenhouse cultivation is still the best.
He was just too cautious and didn't dare to spend money on investments. Now Xu Ran is bold and decisive, which is great.
Then he went to check on the sunflowers in the field. Later, he chatted with Zhang Wen and heard that someone had tried to spread salt that night. Xu's father was furious and wanted to go to the village committee to demand an explanation.
Later, upon learning that the old man was near death, he spat and let it go.
After dinner, Xu's father played with the dog again, and soon he noticed the problem and asked Xu Ran:
"Why is Little Grey ignoring me now? It was quite active when it was little, but now it pretends not to hear me when I call it."
Mr. Xu loves dogs. He carefully selected Coke and Sprite and then trained them diligently, which is why they are so well-behaved and sensible. He also spent a lot of money when he bought the dogs.
When Little Grey was first born, Dad Xu would always tease it, but now when he asks Little Grey to shake his paw, it seems like Little Grey is just going through the motions.
Xu Ran smiled and replied:
"It listens to me now and has recognized me as its master."
"I don't believe it. Call it, and I'll see if it does the same thing."
Pointing to Little Grey chewing on a teething toy not far away, Xu's father, his competitive spirit rising, said to Xu Ran.
"OK."
Xu Ran smiled slightly.
"Little Grey!"
He shouted.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's call, Little Grey immediately put down its chew toy, wagged its tail, and ran over with a grin.
"sit!"
Little Grey, sit down!
"stand!"
Little Gray stood up again.
"Turn left three times!"
"Turn right three times!"
"Roll around!"
"Play dead!"
"Shake my left hand!"
"Grip your right foot!"
"That's ruthless!"
"shy!"
Xu Ran kept giving commands, and Xiao Hui obeyed them without question, doing exactly what he was told. Its movements were nimble and skillful, and it seemed very happy.
Mr. Xu was dumbfounded.
No, Little Grey is only a few months old, how could it be trained like this?
Is this true or false?
Xu Ran stopped giving orders and waved his hand, letting Xiao Hui play by himself.
"etc."
Unconvinced, Xu's father squatted down in front of Little Gray, stretched out his hand, and gave the order as well:
"shake hands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Grey glanced at him, her smile visibly vanished, and her mouth closed.
It's really not that obvious who you're happier with.
"shake hands!"
"Father Xu said again."
Little Grey looked at Xu Ran, who smiled and nodded. Only then did Little Grey reluctantly place its front paws in Xu Ran's palm.
"Alright then." Mr. Xu rubbed its head. "That counts as cooperation."
He has accepted the facts.
Little Grey just wouldn't get close to him.
Cultivate it gradually.
In fact, Xiao Hui is not close to anyone except Xu Ran.
Every time Li Wu tries to pet and nibble at Little Grey, Little Grey always gives him a look that says, "Do we even know each other?"
Li Wu even tattled to Xu Ran, "Brother Ran, why do I feel like Xiao Hui looks down on me?"
Xu Ran replied with a smile, "No, it just treats you as a colleague."
"Isn't that still looking down on me? Forget it, I won't tease it anymore, this guy is too cunning."
Life on the farm is still leisurely.
Xu Ran and her father played with the dog for a bit, and since nothing else happened, Xu Ran went to play games, while her father went back to watch short dramas.
Elderly people of this age are obsessed with short dramas and are glued to their phones all day long.
The next morning.
Xu Ran carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the mountains.
It's time to make money.
Running in the mountains is physically demanding; people without strength and endurance can't do it.
Xu Ran's physical condition was already good, and it had been enhanced, so this level of physical exertion was a piece of cake for him.
He walked through the mountains and forests, feeling exceptionally light.
After acquiring the skills of a mountain expert, Xu Ran experienced many new and exciting things while walking in the mountains and forests.
