Chapter 62 Little Grey's New Friend!
Chapter 62 Little Grey's New Friend!
Beside the pond.
The employees were all busy with farm work and couldn't spare the time, so Xu Ran brought the water buckets over herself.
We also took Little Gray, Little Wild Boar, and Little Yellow Ox along.
The ox has a saddle on its back with pockets on the side, which can be used to carry snacks, bottled water, sausages, and the like, which is quite convenient.
I'm going to fish for a few fish today.
It can also save the farm some food costs.
The fishing rod is brand new; I just bought it recently.
Xu Ran opened the stool, sat by the lake, baited the fishing rod, and started fishing.
The bait is just insects that are turned over when the farm is turned over; you can use them by hanging them on the fishing hook.
Then Xu Ran waited quietly.
The little yellow calf lay on the ground keeping Xu Ran company, the little wild boar was looking for food with its head down, searching for tasty grass roots, and the little gray seemed to hear some noise and ran off into the distance.
"Little Grey, don't run too far, be careful not to get bitten by a poisonous snake!"
Xu Ran pointed a reminder in the direction of Xiao Hui.
It's dangerous in the mountains.
The weather is a bit cool this season, so snakes aren't very active, but you never know when you might encounter one.
Being bitten by a venomous snake is still very dangerous.
Moreover, this area is close to the deep mountains, and there is a possibility that other wild animals may appear.
Little Gray responded with a sound, then continued running away.
Xu Ran didn't pay much attention. At that moment, the float moved, and he immediately stood up to play the fish and reel in the line.
Fishing here couldn't be easier; in no time, he successfully caught a grass carp weighing seven or eight pounds.
The task progress changed immediately.
[Fish weight: 7.8 catties/100 jin]
Everything went smoothly.
He fished peacefully here, with the little ones keeping him company quietly.
Occasionally, a few plump sparrows would fly over, land on the branches, stare at Xu Ran for a while, and then fly away.
Birds have their own intelligence system, and small birds live together in large groups.
The same goes for sparrows.
They are like a small society with many sparrow families.
There are quite a few sparrows on the farm.
To be precise, sparrows are plentiful in any rural area far from the city.
Moreover, these sparrows also recognize people. Those few sparrows probably saw Xu Ran, recognized him as the boss of the farm, and landed on the tree to see what he was doing.
A cool breeze blew by, and Xu Ran felt exceptionally comfortable.
He set up his fishing rod, got up and went to the little yellow cow, took out a bottle of Jiaduobao from the bag, and took a refreshing sip.
Then he went back to the shore and continued fishing.
Another leisurely day.
He looked around and saw that there weren't many people by the lake. Logically, since it was National Day, everyone should be out and about.
I guess Nanshan is still too remote.
This is a desolate mountain, and not many people dare to come here.
fair enough.
Quiet and peaceful, a rare treat.
The fish are brought out one by one.
In about two hours, the bucket was full of fish.
Xu Ran successfully completed the mission.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]
[Reward: Fishing Master]
Xu Ran has acquired a new skill.
After acquiring the skill, he immediately sensed something different. Looking at the pond again, in an instant, he could clearly recall where the fish were plentiful and what kind of fish could be caught at what location and water depth.
He then looked at his fishing rod and hook.
The fishhook is the wrong size.
To catch a big fish, you need to use a bigger hook.
Wow, it really is different now!
"Looking at it now, that was clearly a beginner's fishing method. The location and depth were both wrong."
"This skill is practical."
A hint of joy appeared in Xu Ran's eyes.
Then, an idea popped into his mind, making him somewhat excited.
"The fishing community is very popular, with a large number of members, resulting in many large-scale competitions with very substantial prize money!"
"Even if we don't talk about million-dollar prizes, there are still competitions with prizes of 100,000 or 200,000."
"We can earn some money by fishing to buy equipment for the farm!"
Xu Ran pondered.
You have to do anything to start a business.
You need to earn two thousand yuan a day picking mushrooms in the mountains to afford to build a greenhouse.
Now that I know how to fish, I can participate in fishing competitions and earn prize money to buy equipment.
Xu Ran had even considered going to Southeast Asia to participate in underground fighting competitions, since he had free fighting skills.
Later, fearing he might get a kidney injury, he gave up.
But fishing is no problem at all.
We should make use of our skills.
The thought of finding a way to make money instantly made him feel great.
The bucket is full of fish we caught; it's time to go home.
It will take a long time to get back.
He turned his head and saw that the little yellow calf and the little wild boar were both there, but Little Gray was nowhere to be seen.
"Little Grey!"
"Little Grey!"
Xu Ran shouted twice towards the distance.
Just as I was worrying, I saw Little Gray running over happily, wagging its tail rapidly.
However, it didn't run directly to Xu Ran's feet. Instead, it ran a few steps forward, stopped, looked back, and then looked at Xu Ran with anticipation.
Her expression was innocent and carefree.
This expression is very familiar; it means that Little Grey has made a new friend.
That's how Little Yellow Ox was brought here by Little Gray.
So, Xu Ran also looked ahead.
He saw a small black dog run out from a bush.
This little black dog is completely black, even its nose is black.
"A little black dog? Or a black dog?"
"Absolutely amazing!"
Xu Ran saw it from afar and her eyes lit up.
He immediately walked forward.
The Wuhei dog is also a top-quality rural dog, all black except for its nose, and it looks particularly majestic when it grows up!
But after taking a few steps forward, Xu Ran realized something was wrong.
Why does this little black dog have such a round face?
Could it be that...
Xu Ran stopped and looked at it carefully.
Now he could see clearly that this was not a little black dog, but a little black bear!
Seeing the black bear cub means that the mother bear is not far away!
Sure enough, just as Xu Ran was getting nervous, she saw a large black bear leading another small black bear out from behind.
The black bear noticed Xu Ran, and with a start, it trembled and immediately assumed an alert posture.
"Little Grey, come here!"
Xu Ran looked serious, took two steps back, and called out to Xiao Hui.
Wild animals with young are more vigilant.
Black bears generally do not attack humans, but this may not be the case if the bear is with its cubs.
This is written in their genes.
The man and the bear stood facing each other like that.
Little Grey sensed something was wrong and obediently ran over.
The two little black bears were very timid. Upon seeing Xu Hou, they turned around and ran away as fast as they could, perfectly embodying the word "cowardly."
The big black bear glanced at Xu Ran and then ran away.
Xu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That scared the hell out of me.
They really thought they were going to show off their free-fighting skills here!
I wonder if I can withstand the black bear's claws coming down.
"Little Grey, save your breath, you really shouldn't mess with this thing!"
"Those are protected animals too!"
Xu Ran rubbed Xiao Hui's head and said.
Little Grey chuckled sheepishly, then glanced in the direction the black bear had gone.
This place is not safe to stay in. Xu Ran called to the little yellow ox and the little wild boar, packed up their things, and headed down the mountain.
