Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The sled that Lou Xiao'e got last time was not used, but now it is used by Chen Xu and Lin Chan.

It is obviously much faster to skate back to Linjia Village than to walk on the mountain road. Now that Shichahai is frozen, there are still many people going skating, and there are also fishermen prying open the ice to fish.

Not to mention the creek, which was frozen solid. Not only could people not walk on it, but even cows could easily cross it.

Before leaving, Chen Xu called Chen Dan, who was playing with his friends outside, and asked him to take back some things prepared at home in the evening.

Chen Dan was a little hesitant. His cousin had already helped him enough, and he was quite familiar with the bag that Chen Xu asked him to take back.

Isn't this the one that my dad sent to my cousin before his wedding banquet? If I take it back, my dad will beat me to death.

"Listen to me and take it back quietly."

Apart from these things, Chen Xu didn't even keep the money and stuffed it directly into Chen Dan's hands.

It would be better for them to keep Uncle San's assets for themselves. Besides that, he also added some food into the bag, so that at least they could have two meat dishes during the New Year.

Chen Dan wanted to say something, but Chen Xu had already left with Lin Chan.

Watching the two people skating from the backyard and disappearing at the end of the creek, Chen Dan had no choice but to leave and come back to get his things at night.

He didn't want to be beaten by his father, but he didn't dare to disobey his cousin, so he planned to tell his mother about this matter. He knew his father's donkey-like temper, so he wouldn't keep it secret for as long as possible. He would naturally delay getting a beating as long as possible.

Chen Xu is quite good at ice skating, naturally because he had played it in his previous life.

Lin Chan was very familiar with this method. She had played it many times and had learned it since she was a child.

The two of them were very fast, and it was not yet dark when they arrived at Linjia Village.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a big black cat lying next to the stove. My mother-in-law put her feet under its belly to keep warm.

Chen Xu felt that Xiao Hei's status was plummeting.

From the king of beasts, it became a pet and then a heating tool.

Tigers are warm-blooded animals with a body temperature several degrees higher than humans. They can indeed be used to keep warm in the winter, provided they do not bite people.

The mother-in-law had obviously finished her meal, as she was forcing the leftover cabbage leaves into Xiao Hei's mouth.

Xiao Hei was obviously unwilling to eat this thing. He shook his big head and refused to open his mouth.

Chen Xu, who came in, almost burst out laughing. Xiao Hei seemed to have seen a savior. He jumped up and threw himself on Lin Chan, howling and accusing Lin's mother of not feeding him grass.

Mother Lin looked helpless. Xiao Hei stayed at home and refused to leave. She couldn't possibly feed the tiger with anything good, so she even cooked some extra cabbage, but Xiao Hei refused to eat it.

She was also quite afraid of Xiao Hei at first, but it became nothing after a long time. Besides, it was her daughter's pet. Now that Lin Chan was not around, Xiao Hei became a substitute, and Lin's mother didn't mind having a cat to keep her company.

The only downside is that this thing is not vegetarian.

Fortunately, if Xiao Hei was hungry, he would go into the mountains to find food by himself, and sometimes he would bring some back for Lin's mother.

The pond in Chen Xu Mountain almost became Xiao Hei's buffet restaurant, and it doesn't even cost any money.

Chen Xu didn't care. He had as many fish as he wanted. He put a lot more in after catching them before the New Year, just like releasing fish fry.

Xiao Hei's swimming skills have improved in the past six months. Tigers are good at swimming, and now this big cat can not only swim and dive, but also catch fish in the pool...

Knowing that Chen Xu was coming, many villagers brought a lot of local specialties in the evening.

There were everything from pheasants, rabbits, sparrows to eggs, and even two wild boar cubs. God knows who caught them.

Chen Xu didn't care about local specialties, but he cared about the cub and planned to take it back to raise it in his space.

There are already two domestic pigs, one male and one female, in the space, so it doesn't matter if there are two more wild boars now. Maybe we can make some mixed products to improve the taste.

The villagers gave gifts naturally to thank Chen Xu for giving away 50% of the harvest from the village’s pond for free.

Chen Xu felt it was worth it. Spending some money to solve his worries was definitely a good deal in this era.

At night, Xiao Hei, who was about to enter the bedroom again, kept scratching the door and was thrown into the space by Chen Xu, who could no longer bear it.

All was at peace in an instant.

Before Chen Xu had time to get intimate with his wife when he returned to the bed, he discovered that Xiao Hei was fighting with the fish in the space.

When Chen Xu, with a black face, rushed to the space, Xiao Hei had already retreated to the shore. Looking at Chen Xu who appeared, he pounced on him with a look of grievance.

When this guy arrived at the space, his first reaction was confusion. His second reaction was seeing so many fish that he jumped into the water without thinking and planned to have a midnight snack.

The situation at that time was about a ratio of one to one hundred thousand. If Xiao Hei had not been close to the shore and had struggled to escape back to the shore when he saw the situation was not right, he would have been fed to the fish by now.

A large number of ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that the fish in the pond are much stronger than ants, especially the larger ones. A single blow from their tails can be quite powerful. What's more, the fish are in the water, so they have the advantage of terrain.

Normally, fish would not have the intelligence to attack in groups, but there was a golden carp in the space, an outlier with an IQ far exceeding that of other fish. Xiao Hei was in trouble and was beaten up by what he normally saw as food.

Looking at Xiao Hei who was hugging him and crying, Chen Xu looked helpless.

There are still a bunch of fish in the pond waiting for battle. Obviously, this is Chen Xu's territory. Apart from Chen Xu, anyone who wants to move the fish in the pond has to see whether the carp, the leader of the pond, agrees.

Chen Xu did not plan to raise a tiger, mainly because there was no suitable environment for Xiao Hei in his current space. It would be better if he could wait until he created a primeval forest or something in his space and then put Xiao Hei in.

After touching the big golden carp blowing bubbles on the shore to express his appreciation, Chen Xu took Xiao Hei and left the space.

After being thrown back into the main room again, Xiao Hei became much more obedient. It was estimated that the experience tonight was enough to make him doubt his life as a tiger for a long time.

"What just happened?"

Lin Chan was a little curious about what Chen Xu had been doing just now.

"It's okay, Xiao Hei was hit by a fish."

Chen Xu didn't have time to care about Xiao Hei, so he just casually introduced him and started his nightlife.

Lin Chan was a little curious but soon had no time to think about anything else.

The reason why I didn’t go back to the space to do that was because I was not used to it.

Although there was no one in the space, there was an exceptionally smart big carp. Last time, that carp brought a large number of his little brothers to stare at the two breeding bipeds with big eyes.

After that incident, Lin Chan refused to do anything shameful with Chen Xu under the gazes of tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, the two of them did not have any claustrophobia, otherwise, looking at the crowded scene, they probably wouldn't even want to go back to the space.

Chen Xu didn't care. How could a group of stupid fish understand human behavior?

Even if that big golden carp is just a little smarter at best, it's not yet a spirit.

No matter what race, when the number of people increases, there will always be some special and unique guys, similar to the geniuses among humans. Chen Xu is clear about this. There are also many particularly smart animals in nature, but they are few in number.

Chen Xu has been keeping it just because it looks good. Its golden color is festive to look at, so its IQ is not that important.

After all, everyone knows the fame of Koi on the Internet in the previous life, so it would be nice to use it as a mascot.

As for Lin Chan's discomfort, this problem can be easily solved. Just stay away from the pond next time. The space now is no longer the one that required Chen Xu to carefully arrange.

After a year, although it cannot be said to be boundless, it has already taken on the appearance of a small world.

It’s just that the species are a bit monotonous, and it looks more like a paradise.
