Chapter 738: Anti-Parasitic Pill

~8 min read 1,510 words

Every time she returned home after working in the fields for half a day, Xia Qing felt especially satisfied and grounded.

She liked working, liked watching the crops in the fields grow little by little, liked picking the vegetables she grew, and liked picking up the eggs laid by the chickens she raised. Then, she would turn these into food and store them.

This grounded sense of satisfaction could not be brought by any amount of points.

The taste of hunger was etched in her bones; without stored grain and the inability to continuously grow food, Xia Qing had no sense of security. Once a crisis broke out, even if you held a stack of point cards, you couldn't fill your stomach!

Therefore, even though Xia Qing now had a very considerable dividend from the pharmaceutical factory and the cordyceps business, she still farmed earnestly and steadily, just like before.

She had to protect her territory and her crops well. This was also the reason why Xia Qing asked her idol to prepare nutritional sources and sell them to her allies in advance.

The aggressive wild paulownia would definitely show its power in the second Qi rain; if the surrounding territories couldn't hold, her territory would also suffer. Only by everyone working together could Xia Qing survive better and have hope for a harvest.

Of course, it was not enough for just the lords of this territory to work hard; the entire base also had to operate normally to supply the reagents, high-quality seeds, and necessary protection needed by the lords for farming.

The animals in the surrounding Evolution Forest also had to work together. Only if her allies, the wolf pack, who were important trading partners, were powerful, could this territory be safer.

In three days, she would follow Yan Long and Tan Qi to the Evolution Forest for field training. By then, she would definitely be exhausted like a dog, and even if the handsome giant wolf came to carry her, she would have no strength or energy to feed the wolves medicine.

The anti-parasitic pills in Territory No. 7 were taken once every six months. The northern wolf pack last took medicine in November of last year, so these few days were the time for the first anti-parasitic medicine of this year.

If the Broken-Waist Wolf or the Alpha Wolf didn't come to find her in the next two nights, Xia Qing would step on the individual flight device equipped with a pair of bird claws and make a trip to Mountain No. 60.

Xia Qing's luck was quite good. The next night, the Broken-Waist Wolf, which hadn't been seen for many days, arrived at Territory No. 3 with two black-maned geese in its mouth.

The red squirrel, which was collecting food in the buffer forest, heard the movement, fled back to Xia Qing's home like lightning, and burrowed into the sheep shed.

The Broken-Waist Wolf glanced at the fleeing red squirrel, turned around, and continued to play with the door.

It wasn't until Xia Qing rushed over to welcome it and picked up the prey that the Broken-Waist Wolf ran back home.

After entering the courtyard gate, the Broken-Waist Wolf smelled a familiar scent and accurately walked toward a new building that wasn't there when it came last time—the rabbit shed.

Xia Qing, who walked into the courtyard, saw the Broken-Waist Wolf observing the rabbit shed and introduced it, "I'm raising two little rabbits inside. When they grow up, they can give birth to more rabbits. Prey, which can be eaten, just like the chickens I raise."

The Broken-Waist Wolf understood, but it didn't seem very satisfied, though it didn't express anything.

After it rinsed the mud off its claws and entered the house, it was attracted by a new thing in the living room—the hanging chair.

Sheep Boss immediately stopped pedaling the power-generating bicycle and trotted over to lie on its hanging chair, swinging. The hanging chair Xia Qing made from wild paulownia vines was very sturdy, and a three-hundred-jin evolutionary sheep sitting on it and swinging didn't make a single creaking sound.

The Broken-Waist Wolf's gaze shifted from Sheep Boss to the iron frame hanging the chair, and a pair of wolf eyes began to shine.

After testing and finding that both geese were green-light, Xia Qing decided to give her own one to her idol, who was as thin as a rail. However, before going out, Xia Qing decided to roast the other one first.

Seeing the Broken-Waist Wolf lying on the hanging chair, she wasn't surprised at all. This wolf was different from the Alpha Wolf; the Alpha Wolf had no curiosity about human items, while the Broken-Waist Wolf was full of curiosity and a desire to learn about everything human.

"Broken-Waist, do you like my hanging chair?" The Broken-Waist Wolf lying on the hanging chair grinned, revealing its snow-white, cute little fangs.

Xia Qing also smiled. "If you like it, just lie on it."

Although it was already late April, the weather had been bad these past few days, and it rained for a while this afternoon. The indoor temperature was only in the teens, so lighting a fire in the fireplace could both raise the indoor temperature and remove the dampness.

After the firewood started burning, Xia Qing hung a white-striped goose that weighed more than nine jin after being plucked and gutted into the fireplace to roast slowly, then discussed with the Broken-Waist Wolf, which was studying the hanging chair.

"Broken-Waist, I'm going out for a bit. You eat the internal organs in the basin, but don't touch the fire in the fireplace, otherwise, your fur will be burned off."

The clever Broken-Waist Wolf had both a taste for life and was vain; it cherished its fur very much. As long as Xia Qing said something was bad for its fur, it would never touch it.

Therefore, Xia Qing was very relieved. After greeting Sheep Boss, she took the sealed black-maned goose and arrived at the north gate of Territory No. 3 on time, handing it to Ji Li.

After washing the mud off her protective boots outside the door, Xia Qing entered the house. After the Broken-Waist Wolf finished the internal organs in the basin, it didn't continue to play with the hanging chair but sat by the small table, on which was a laptop that had already been opened.

The computer had been turned on, but the Broken-Waist Wolf couldn't operate the mouse with its sharp claws, so the computer was in standby mode, and a dozen bubbles of various colors were slowly moving and changing colors on the desktop.

Hearing that Xia Qing had returned, the Broken-Waist Wolf looked back at her, and Xia Qing instantly understood what this wolf meant: You're finally back, hurry over and play the video for me; I want to learn.

Life during the disaster years was already very difficult. After working for a day and returning home, she still had to be rolled by a brain-domain evolutionary wolf that loved to learn. Xia Qing laughed, walked over, and flipped the roasted goose first before turning on the video for the Broken-Waist Wolf.

Because there were things to discuss today, Xia Qing didn't give it a chance to choose and directly played the video on preventing evolutionary microorganisms.

The Broken-Waist Wolf had no objections and sat seriously on the straw mat, staring at the screen and learning earnestly.

It had watched this video many times and could understand it without Xia Qing's explanation. But Xia Qing still sat beside it, and when the video played to the segment about taking anti-parasitic reagents regularly, Xia Qing paused the video.

When the Broken-Waist Wolf turned its head to look at her, Xia Qing took out the anti-parasitic medicine from the drawer, pointed to the pill on the screen, and gestured to explain to the Broken-Waist Wolf that it was time for the wolf pack to take medicine again.

The Broken-Waist Wolf quickly understood Xia Qing's meaning, then revealed its little fangs to signify it understood, and signaled Xia Qing to continue playing the video for it.

Xia Qing...

Damn it, I want to beat the wolf!

Black-maned geese were larger than rabbits and chickens, so they took longer to roast. The Broken-Waist Wolf watched the video on preventing evolutionary microorganism infection repeatedly, then signaled Xia Qing to put the roasted goose on its back; it had to return to Mountain No. 60.

Wait, the matter hadn't been discussed yet; why was it leaving already?

Xia Qing put the wrapped roasted goose on its back and then discussed very seriously, "Broken-Waist, it's time for the wolf pack to take anti-parasitic medicine. Tomorrow, when the sun rises to this position, come pick me up, and I'll go over to feed medicine to every wolf in the wolf pack, every single one."

Tomorrow, she would finally be able to see Lao Er and the Alpha Queen's cubs; Xia Qing was so excited. ===== CHAPTER 739 =====
