"Aunt, it didn't bite you, did it? This Big Black Dog is a bully who fears the strong. Last time I kicked it, it became obedient. I think we should report it to the Punishment Department and have them take it away..."
Now it's turned into a stray dog, who knows if it will go mad? The mortality rate of rabies is very high.
Xia Yuanfang thought for a moment, then said calmly, "It's not that bad. It learns from people. What does it know? Besides, it helped me out of a tight spot once, so if I can help, I will. It's no trouble."
Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yuanfang said "helped me out of a tight spot," Xia Chujian's attention was diverted.
She asked nervously, "Aunt, what happened? Were there thugs? Don't be afraid! Anyway, I don't have to go to school anymore. I'll accompany you to work every day and take online classes in your studio!"
She made a gesture of holding a gun with her hand, and said indignantly, "I want to see who dares to bully my Xia Chujian's aunt!"
Xia Yuanfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal."
Then she noticed Xia Chujian's words about not having to go to school, "What did you say? Why don't you have to go to school anymore? Were you expelled from school?"
"Of course not! Although my grades aren't very good, I'm still a good student who follows the rules! How could I be expelled!" Xia Chujian tried her best to look like a "good student".
Xia Yuanfang crossed her arms and looked at her calmly.
Xia Chujian was most afraid of Xia Yuanfang's appearance, and hurriedly stood at attention, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Aunt, it's like this, something happened at our school again today. A Remnant Species appeared, and a student died..."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she secretly glanced at Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Yuanfang's attention was immediately diverted, and she became anxious: "How come another student died?! What's wrong with your school?! This is the best high school in Mulan City! I've never heard of this kind of thing in the past ten years!"
"That's right! So many students died the week before last, the school should have rectified it properly, but they didn't take it seriously, and then something happened again today... I'm telling you, fortunately, the Special Security Bureau came quickly this time and saved us all. Only one student died..." Xia Chujian said mysteriously.
Xia Yuanfang frowned: "Who is it? Although only one died, that's still someone's precious child, alas..."
Xia Chujian blinked: "I don't know, it's a classmate from the Advanced Class next door."
Xia Yuanfang was silent for a while, and said: "Then from now on, you will go to work with me every day. I will do experiments, and you will take online classes in the other ward. I will clean up the ward next door tomorrow and use it as your study room."
"No problem, I'm going to pick you up from work anyway." Xia Chujian agreed readily, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to see if anyone was really "bullying" her Xia Chujian's aunt!
...
By the time they got home, it was completely dark.
Aunt Chen cooked today. Her cooking skills are actually quite good, although not as good as Xia Chujian's, let alone Xia Yuanfang's.
But among ordinary people, her cooking skills are considered top-notch.
And although everyone has eaten more delicious food, they are not picky eaters. Everyone enjoys Aunt Chen's cooking.
Xia Yuanfang has been working overtime at home after get off work recently, and she is tired, but her appetite has increased instead.
After drinking an Advanced Nutrient Solution, she ate two bowls of rice in one go, as well as several Wild Rhinoceros Pig ribs.
Xia Chujian prefers to eat braised Unicorn Cattle, firstly because Aunt Chen is best at this dish, and secondly, Wild Rhinoceros Pigs are almost extinct in the Exotic Beast Forest. The Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat they have is dwindling. But there are still many Unicorn Cattle, and the meat source is abundant.
Wu Fu and Si Xi both love Pearl Meatballs made with Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat.
Xia Yuanfang taught Aunt Chen to coat the outside with San Zong's new glutinous rice. It is said that this dish is called Pearl Meatballs, and it is Wu Fu and Si Xi's favorite recently.
Xia Chujian also likes to eat it, but for the sake of Wu Fu and Si Xi, she only eats one each time as a token gesture.
After dinner, Xia Yuanfang went to the studio opposite the library to continue studying her "recipe".
Xia Chujian sat in the restaurant, watching Liu Shun clean up the dining table and kitchen, and said to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, I won't go to school from tomorrow. I'll take online classes with Aunt over there."
"Ah? Why aren't you going to school?" Aunt Chen was surprised, and hurriedly sat opposite her, "Did something happen?"
Xia Chujian nodded heavily: "Yes, another student died at school, and a Remnant Species appeared. Everyone is afraid to continue going to school. All the schools are letting us senior high school students take online classes at home for these two months."
"Another person died? What's wrong with your school!" Aunt Chen patted her chest, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, our Yingying doesn't go to school anymore, otherwise I would really worry to death!"
"Yeah, who knows... It's really getting hotter and hotter outside recently." Xia Chujian fanned herself with her hand.
Liu Shun silently turned on the air conditioner in the house and adjusted the temperature to a very suitable twenty-three degrees.
San Zong said: "There has been very little rain this year, nine-tenths less than in previous years. From January to now, Mulan City has only had one rain, and it was only a little bit."
Xia Chujian said: "I remember, it was the day after we harvested the rice."
San Zong nodded: "But San Zong feels that it will rain heavily tomorrow, very heavy rain, torrential rain. Are Young Lord and Xia Gugu still going to work in the city?"
Xia Chujian looked at the night sky outside the French window in surprise: "San Zong, can you also do weather forecasts? Is it accurate?"
Zhu Yingying said with a smile, "Accurate, so accurate! It's much more accurate than the weather forecast on TV!"
Xia Chujian patted San Zong's shoulder: "San Zong, no wonder you're so good at planting. You can even predict the weather. Who can plant better than you?"
San Zong's little pig face turned red, and he scratched his head embarrassedly: "Young Lord, you praise me too much. San Zong just likes planting. Oh, right, the herbs that Xia Gugu wanted, San Zong has successfully cultivated the seedlings and is about to start planting them."
"Are they easy to grow? Do they need special fertilizer?" Xia Chujian asked, pretending to understand.
San Zong shook his head and said loudly, "Not easy, but San Zong will prepare special fertilizer. Young Lord, don't worry!"
His sudden loud voice startled Wu Fu and Si Xi.
The human and dog looked over, puzzled.
San Zong smiled, stood up, and picked up Si Xi, saying, "Si Xi, help San Zong check on those rare herbs."
Xia Chujian said, "I'll go too, see what good things San Zong has."
Wu Fu anxiously stretched out his hands, wanting Xia Chujian to carry him, and said, "Wu Fu wants to see too! Wu Fu wants to see too!"
Aunt Chen pulled Zhu Yingying up and said, "We're going upstairs. Xia Researcher gave Yingying those test papers, and I have to watch her finish them."
Zhu Yingying really wanted to go with Xia Chujian to see the rare herbs that San Zong was growing, but Aunt Chen held her back.
Xia Chujian winked at Zhu Yingying and said, "Yingying, do your test papers first. If you do well, maybe Aunt Chen will let you play with us!"
Aunt Chen was amused and annoyed, and said, "Chujian, you're really naughty. You only have two months left, I advise you to do your test papers too..."
"Aiya, aiya! My ears are buzzing, I can't hear anything!" Xia Chujian said with a smile, picked up Wu Fu, and followed San Zong to see his Plantation.
San Zong had built another shed near the Seedling Field in order to grow herbs for Xia Yuanfang, and it was full of rare varieties that Xia Yuanfang had named.
However, after Xia Chujian followed San Zong into the shed, she asked in a low voice, "...Did Aunt ask you for Blood Kirin?"
San Zong also said softly, "Yes, the Blood Kirin is growing well, and..."
He touched the head of the Small Dog Si Xi, put it down, and said even more quietly, "San Zong found that if Si Xi goes to see the Blood Kirin every day, the Blood Kirin will grow a little faster..."
The Blood Kirin and Kong Sang were of course not here.
These two plants liked the cold and were always planted in the temperature-controlled ice bucket, which was placed in San Zong's suite on the second basement floor.
Xia Chujian looked at Si Xi in surprise.
This little country dog was still so small, and as soon as it came in, it sniffed around the shed, specializing in "picking flowers and provoking grass."
Wu Fu swayed behind Si Xi, imitating its appearance, sniffing here and there, and then felt it was very interesting, and from time to time made a giggling sound.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but smile.
After experiencing the battle against the Remnant Species and Ba during the day, seeing the scene of children and Small Dogs teasing each other, she really felt that this was the joy of being human, and she wouldn't trade it for being a god.
San Zong looked at Xia Chujian's back, his pig nose twitched slightly, and there was a trace of struggle and worry in his eyes.
Xia Chujian followed Wu Fu and Si Xi for a walk, returned to San Zong, and did not miss the expression in his eyes.
"San Zong, what's wrong? Just say it. What can't you say to me?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.
San Zong clenched his fists, his body was trembling, but he still tried to muster his courage and said, "Young Lord, did you encounter something other than the Remnant Species today? Something very bad, very bad!"
Xia Chujian's heart moved, she thought of Ba.
That thing had blown a mouthful of green air at her, was there still any residue?
She couldn't smell it herself. Before, at school, Meng Guanghui and the others didn't smell it either. When she was in the Flying Vehicle with her Aunt, her Aunt didn't smell it either.
Also, when they were eating just now, Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying didn't feel anything at all.
She asked calmly, "What very bad, very bad thing? What are you talking about, San Zong?"
San Zong frowned and said in a low voice, "When San Zong used to farm in the Plantation south of Mulan City, he once saw a bad thing in green clothes come to the Plantation to snatch bodies, killing many Humanoid Slaves in the Plantation..."
"Ah? Snatch bodies? How do they snatch them?" Xia Chujian became interested.
San Zong recalled the past, his little pig face still showing fear: "San Zong doesn't know how that bad thing snatched them, but during that time, every few days a companion would suddenly burst into flames and quickly burn to ashes..."
"At the beginning, everyone didn't know what was going on. Later, it developed to the point where several Humanoid Slaves would spontaneously combust in a day, and the manager realized something was wrong. The manager of the Plantation invited very powerful Gene Evolvers from outside and found that it was that bad thing, so they forced that bad thing out."
"San Zong saw with his own eyes that bad thing floating out from behind a companion, it was terrible!"
Xia Chujian then understood and asked carefully, "Is that so? What does it look like?"
San Zong honestly said, "It looks like a human, but it has no hair, its eyes are on the top of its head, and its mouth is very wide..."
He made a gesture from his left ear to his right ear.
It really was a Ba.
Xia Chujian looked at San Zong thoughtfully, "...Do you know what this thing is called?"
San Zong said, "This bad thing calls itself a Ba. It's not satisfied with its body and always wants to find a new one."
"But this bad thing is too powerful. Whether it's a human or a Humanoid, if this bad thing possesses them, they will spontaneously combust in a few days!"
This is the first update. The second update will be at 1 p.m.
