Chapter 881: Does Daigua Monkey Improves

~8 min read 1,578 words

After the Head Wolf and Sheep Boss came out of the medicinal bath, Xia Qing, carrying Does Daigua Monkey, was chased upstairs by the Head Wolf, while the little wolf was carried into the first-floor bathroom by its dad.

Having lost the chance to pet the little wolf, Xia Qing stuffed Little Feimao into the special protective suit pocket in the second-floor storage room, cleaned up Does Daigua Monkey, wrapped it in a grass-woven diaper, then covered its belly with something dry and soft, and climbed into bed to sleep herself.

She needed to conserve her energy—big things were coming later.

Downstairs, the little wolf was howling in pain in the bathroom, making Xia Qing's heart clench; she couldn't sleep at all.

An hour later, the little wolf and its dad finally finished their bath. Xia Qing, enduring the pain, picked up the scissors and hadn't even reached downstairs when she saw Wolf Lao Er carrying the little wolf in front, with the Broken-Waist Wolf behind, slowly walking out.

It seemed the little wolf didn't like rooms filled with human scent; being in the yard made it feel safer.

With the little wolf and Broken-Waist Wolf together, Xia Qing couldn't bring herself to shear it, because she was afraid of scaring the little wolf and making it keep its distance from her.

She'd spare the Broken-Waist Wolf this time—ten days from now!

Just as Xia Qing was about to go upstairs, she saw Wolf Lao Er bring in the Handsome Giant Wolf, who was radiating resistance, and the Black Wolf. The moment the Handsome Giant Wolf came in, Xia Qing felt her living room had shrunk.

"Is Handsome Wolf going to take a medicinal bath now? That's great!" Xia Qing gritted her teeth against the pain, turned around, went back upstairs, took a packet of medicinal solution from the fridge, and headed into the first-floor bathroom.

Seeing Xia Qing come in, the Handsome Giant Wolf, already soaking in the water, stood up, but was suppressed by the Head Wolf's authoritative voice. The Black Wolf bared its fangs at Xia Qing, showing displeasure at her sudden intrusion.

"Queen my lord, Giant Wolf, Black Wolf, this tub of medicine has been used three times already, the effect has weakened, so I'll add some more medicinal solution." This handsome Giant Wolf was Xia Qing's god of wealth and mount.

Although she couldn't boss the wolf pack around and make the Handsome Giant Wolf take the medicinal solution first, Xia Qing could add medicine midway. She'd been scolded for a long time today, and had agreed to help her idol gather medicinal herbs from Python Pool, so she'd managed to get two extra packets of medicinal solution, waiting to add them in when the Handsome Giant Wolf took its bath to boost the effect.

He was a Giant Wolf; the medicinal solution for repairing bone and skin damage should have been increased in dosage for him to begin with.

Fortunately, the tub was large enough. After Xia Qing added warm water mixed with medicinal solution, she finally managed to submerge the tall, mighty Handsome Giant Wolf up to its head in the solution.

The Handsome Giant Wolf had a poker face—Xia Qing couldn't tell if it was in pain—but she still encouraged it to hold on. "Giant Wolf, you have to endure it. The more it hurts, the better the effect. After the bath, you'll definitely be able to pin that Giant Wolf from the Western Pack under your paw!"

After comforting the Handsome Giant Wolf, Xia Qing didn't dare stay in the bathroom, because it was the Handsome Giant Wolf's first medicinal bath, and its reaction was bound to be intense. Staying here, Xia Qing was afraid it would bite her to death in one snap when it rose up.

Although she had gained these wolves' trust, Xia Qing had never forgotten that they were fierce beasts of the Evolution Forest.

After Xia Qing left, the Head Wolf sniffed the medicinal solution bag she'd thrown in the trash, then looked at the Handsome Giant Wolf soaking in the tub, lost in thought.

The Handsome Giant Wolf was tough. By the time Xia Qing lay down in the second-floor bedroom and fell asleep, it just stood rigid, not making a sound.

Twenty-five minutes later, the Handsome Giant Wolf began to tremble and tried to stand up out of the water, but was suppressed again by the Head Wolf's authoritative low growl.

At thirty-five minutes, the pain exceeded the Handsome Giant Wolf's tolerance. No longer obeying the Head Wolf's command, it bared its fangs and roared, struggling to stand up.

"Wooo—"

The Black Wolf standing beside the Head Wolf also bared its fangs, striking an attack-ready pose. The Handsome Giant Wolf was furious and suddenly opened its mouth to bite the edge of the tub.

If it couldn't stand up, then it would just break this thing!

The Head Wolf beat the Handsome Giant Wolf by a step, leaping up to land on its back, pressing down on its big head with its paw and shoving it back into the medicinal liquid.

Judging by its speed, there was no sign that the Head Wolf had just taken a piercingly painful medicinal bath an hour ago, but a closer look revealed its legs were trembling.

"Splash—"

The sound of water reached the second floor. Xia Qing, lying on her bed behind the closed bedroom door, fluttered her lashes, not even opening her eyes.

When the alarm rang, the Head Wolf leapt out of the tub, and the Handsome Giant Wolf also jumped out, shaking its body vigorously in the bathroom to fling off the medicinal solution, then walked out of the room on slightly trembling legs and lay down under the eaves.

At dawn, Xia Qing heard the Black-Feathered Rooster crow, opened her eyes, and stretched.

Yes, this was the feeling—so comfortable!

After getting up, Xia Qing first filled the jar outside the bedroom window with pollution-free spring water. The moment she left the bedroom, the Red Squirrel Mother immediately brought her two kits to the windowsill and began drinking.

Little Feimao had already crawled out of Xia Qing's protective suit pocket and was standing on the second-floor balcony basking in the morning sun, grooming its now-thicker fur. Does Daigua Monkey had somehow climbed from the grass mat onto the balcony as well, staring blankly out the window.

Xia Qing went over to put out water and food for Little Feimao, then skillfully picked up Does Daigua Monkey and headed downstairs. Passing by two refrigerators placed side by side, Xia Qing noticed plum-blossom-shaped water stains on the floor in front of the Broken-Waist Wolf's refrigerator.

Opening the fridge, Xia Qing found a few cucumbers missing. She went downstairs and found no wolves or sheep in the living room, but quite a few water stains on the floor.

She took Does Daigua Monkey out and set it by Wolf Lao Er's toilet to let it relieve itself on its own, while Xia Qing began her busy day.

She had to patrol the territory, check whether the insect-proof netting over the fields had been damaged, feed the chickens and insects, clean the rooms and make breakfast, and after all that, go dig herbs at Mountain Fifty-Five—she was very busy.

The sweet potato vines she'd cut and planted a month ago had already covered the field, lush and green; the newly transplanted rice seedlings were still small, and some were wilting—their root systems had been damaged.

Yesterday, Xia Qing had learned a new technique from Zhang Tao, and decided to add some bio-organic fertilizer containing zinc-microbial power to the rice paddies. This kind of organic fertilizer could enhance soil fertility and promote healthy crop growth, and the No. 7 Territory Microbial Powder Factory produced exactly this kind of fertilizer.

Xia Qing decided that after breakfast, she'd go to No. 7 Territory to buy four bags, and drop off a few Yellow Lantern sunflower heads for Seeing Xin Yu on the way.

Patrolling the Northern Buffer Forest and passing the Green Lantern Orchard, Xia Qing sighed. Last month, she'd dug up her Green Lantern jujube trees.

Because her two Green Lantern jujube trees had actually contracted jujube witches'-broom disease. Trees with this disease no longer bore fruit and could only be dug up. Not just those two big jujube trees—even among the jujube saplings Xia Qing had grown from pits at home and in No. 5 Territory, more than half had caught this disease.

Jujube witches'-broom disease, also called little-leaf disease or witches'-broom disease, currently had no good cure; infected trees could only be removed. So now Xia Qing's Green Lantern Orchard actually only had one kind of fruit tree left—apples.

She hoped the twenty-plus apples hanging on the trees would ripen successfully, so she could taste fresh apples this year.

Passing Shed No. 9, Xia Qing saw that the corn seedlings she'd sown last month had already grown over twenty centimeters tall. The weeds in the cornfield weren't growing slowly either—she needed to weed again.

Xia Qing had just taken a medicinal bath and was full of energy—two mu of corn could be cleared in half a day!

She cheerfully greeted Sheep Boss in the forage shed, praised Wolf Lao Er who was feeding the fish, and went home to cook.

Just entering the yard, Xia Qing saw Does Daigua Monkey in the yard, slowly crawling forward.
