Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

Early in the morning, Lin Xia received an email from Huo An:

My dear friend Lin Xia~

The rain gear you have been waiting for has arrived. I am planning to hold a rain gear exhibition and sale at Rose Square tomorrow (Summer 15th). You are welcome to visit and buy!

Traveling Merchant - Huo An

PS: Please come early tomorrow to help me. I can’t handle it all by myself. I will reward you!

Lin Xia: ……

Huo An is going to set up a stall in the square tomorrow? Lin Xia studied the calendar. Tomorrow is the 15th. It seems that the last shift mentioned that a pet shop will be opened in the square on the 15th of every month.

Could it be that Huo An was deliberately trying to join the fight?

She couldn't care less. Another batch of peanuts could be harvested today, but the dwarfs were in charge.

When Gotz's drying rack is ready, we will dry the peanuts and store them. We can make many more things with dried peanuts.

Today, when I was wandering around the back mountain, I was lucky enough to catch another rabbit in the trap. I went back and processed it together with the rabbit I caught last time. I made spicy rabbit head, stir-fried rabbit meat, and mouth-watering rabbit...

I couldn't help swallowing as I thought about it.

The rabbit was still tied around her waist today. When Lin Xia was about to go out, she suddenly heard the sharp crowing of a chicken in the distance.

I have to say, this voice is damn familiar!

It has been quite a while since the last battle with Brother Chicken. I wonder if all the feathers on its body have grown back yet?

But when I heard the sound it made today, it felt even more miserable than the last time when its feathers were cut off. What happened?

Will she go? Or not? Should she watch this excitement?

Lin Xia was really in a dilemma.

But he looked at his equipment - well, the bow and arrows were complete, with plenty of arrows; and the bamboo weapons made by Gotz were also there.

The backpack has a large capacity, so basically everything that can be used is packed in the backpack, even the breeding tools for small animals are in the backpack.

As a badger in the melon field, Lin Xia, who loves to eat melons, secretly walked towards the source of the sound.

The closer they got, the louder the flapping sounds became. There was also another sound that made Lin Xia's entire body numb, and she wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

"Oh my god~" Lin Xia finally overcame her psychological barrier and saw the fighting scene through the gap in the bushes -

The brave pheasant was fighting with a python that was nearly as thick as an adult's arm and about 3 meters long.

The chicken's previously white body is now covered with feathers, but its previously gorgeous long feathers are still scattered. I don't know if they didn't grow well or if it died in this battle.

The chicken was seen flying and moving with great agility. It used the terrain in the forest to peck a hole in the snake from time to time. Its sharp claws were also very powerful and left many marks on the snake.

Fortunately, I had foresight last time and did not fight the pheasant head-on. Can a pheasant that can fight a python be an ordinary pheasant?

But this python should not be underestimated. It flexibly moved its tail and coordinated with its head to attack Brother Chicken from time to time, and almost entangled him several times.

How did these two big guys get into a fight? Also, this place is not far from the trap that Lin Xia made, and there is such a ferocious animal. Lin Xia dare not come in again. If he encounters such a big snake, he will die.

I looked around again, what is that?

Lin Xia saw a nest of broken eggshells in front of her, and a dead pheasant next to it. It should be Ji Sao, right?

It seems that this is revenge for the murder of his wife and children. No wonder Brother Chicken made such a terrible cry before!

Hey~ Lin Xia quietly equipped herself with a bow and arrow, and put the quiver on her back so that she could take arrows at any time.

The rabbit on her waist had been killed and put into the watch storage bag long before she decided to come over to check the situation.

She had learned from countless novels, movies and TV dramas where the protagonists were always exposed at critical moments due to some small accidents, so she would observe again and again before taking any step when approaching.

Lin Xia pulled out two arrows, found a good terrain, took aim, and waited for the moment the pheasant flew away again before shooting at the python.

The whooshing sound still startled the python, and it nimbly dodged the flying arrow. Its head instantly turned towards Lin Xia, and its cold yellow vertical pupils made people shiver.

However, Lin Xia remembered the lesson. After shooting the arrow, he immediately pulled out the arrow again and installed it, resolutely refusing to look at the snake's head and eyes - he couldn't shoot its head anyway, so he only looked for the largest part. If he couldn't kill it with one arrow, he would just shoot a few more arrows. What about the 200 arrows that he had spent a huge amount of money to make? He could just use the sea of ​​arrows tactic. What's wrong with that!

As the arrows continued to shoot over, the python was still hit by several of them no matter how hard it dodged. In addition, the pheasant looked for an opportunity to come back and join the battle, so it was only a matter of time before the python was defeated.

Finally, Lin Xia shot the snake's tail with an arrow, nailing the python firmly to a tree, which made it unable to move away for a while. The pheasant seized the opportunity and pecked through the snake's vital part with its sharp beak.

The python immediately became visibly wilted, and as its body swayed, its blood splattered everywhere. This was a crime scene!

Lin Xia didn't dare to go forward for a moment. In fact, she was afraid that the python was pretending to be dead, and she was also afraid that Brother Chicken would kill her as well.

Fortunately, Brother Chicken still had some rationality. After making sure the python was dead, he glanced at Lin Xia and then staggered towards his wife and children.

Lin Xia was actually quite frightened too. It was such a big snake. Thinking back on it now, her legs really go weak.

She moved slowly to retrieve all the arrows she had shot. Finally, she came to the python, pulled out the arrow from its body, wiped it clean, and put back the quiver!

Her archery skills still need to be improved. Today, it was mainly because of Brother Ji that she was the main force to restrain the opponent, and the python had been injured before, so she could shoot safely from the side.

If you were to encounter a more agile and ferocious beast alone, it would be hard to say whether you would have enough time to pull out the arrow, let alone shoot it!

Lin Xia looked at the sad chicken in the distance, and thought that it would not want the snake, so Lin Xia put it directly into the storage watch.

After all, we just met each other, and it is indeed a sad thing for someone to lose his wife and children in one day. Should we comfort him?

So he walked over, looked at the egg shells on the ground and the chicken lady who was already a little stiff next to him, and said: "That..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the chicken turned around and glared at him, with the remaining large feathers on its body standing up.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Lin Xia stepped back in fear and explained, "I don't mean anything else. Well, do you want to dig a hole for your wife and son and bury them in some soil? Otherwise, if they are left here forever, other wild animals will come over, don't you think?"

It was not known whether it was because he saw Lin Xia retreat or because he really understood what she said, but Ye Ji withdrew his attack and turned back.

Lin Xia complained in her heart: I mean well, but I don’t want to eat your chicken that was killed by a snake. I don’t need meat right now!

At this time, the pheasant began to dig a hole with its sharp claws. It turned out that these claws were really good at digging the ground. After a while, it dug a hole big enough to bury the chicken.
