Chapter 352 The Ewe's Fear
"Forget about this." Xu Ning muttered to herself. Although she loved food, it didn't mean she had to take the chef away by force! This was simply too outrageous. Moreover, with her secret, it was not convenient to bring several living people with her.
Xu Ning only picked a few of the gold and silver treasures that she liked. After all, there were so many of them in her space that she couldn't spend them all. And even if she had more wealth, it would be a waste for her if she couldn't spend them all. Rather than letting them sit idle and gather dust in her hands, it would be more appropriate to leave them to Jiang Yan to deal with.
"Jiang Shaoheng, to tell you the truth, that ginseng was obtained purely by chance. In fact, I have several similar ones on hand, and they are not as rare and precious as you might imagine. So, these are enough!" Xu Ning said as he proudly raised the carefully selected jewels in his hand and waved them happily in front of Jiang Yan.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and nodded, saying, "As long as Aning likes it." At the same time, he quietly memorized the style chosen by Xu Ning, and planned to instruct his men to continue looking for the same or similar treasures and bring them back later.
Afterwards, Xu Ning enthusiastically discussed with Jiang Yan in detail the arrangements for various activities during the Spring Festival in Happy Valley. It was not until after dinner in the evening that she was sent back to the inn by Jiang Yi with great satisfaction.
After returning to the room, Xu Ning immediately threw the jewelry into the space, washed himself briefly, and then got into bed.
Time passed quickly and it was the day when Xu Ning was leaving the Western Regions. In the huge carriage, Xu Ning specially isolated an area for the sheep to stay, and the other places were filled with various foods bought by Xu Ning. She herself was wrapped up like a dumpling, and even her eyes were covered with windproof glasses with her eyes not showing.
"Master, is Miss Xu really safe alone?" Jiang Yan's men couldn't help asking. He had grown up to a point where he had never met a girl as bold as Xu Ning, who actually dared to travel around most of the Daqing Dynasty alone.
Jiang Yan did not answer his subordinates because Xu Ning was already waving goodbye to him.
After Xu Ning waved his hand, the carriage sped up. After a while, his figure became smaller and smaller in the desert and soon disappeared.
Jiang Yan and his subordinates were still standing on the gate of the Western Region, watching. The treasure chest relayed this scene to Xu Ning through the drone. Xu Ning said, "Bao, nothing is important now. Hurry up and plan an unmanned route for me. I want to drive the RV. This carriage is freezing to death. I'm almost frozen into a popsicle!"
Treasure Box: ...
After a while, Xu Ning, who was already sitting in the driver's seat of the RV, took off his thick coat, held the steering wheel and hummed a little tune.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, wish us a happy New Year~"
It’s nice not to have to endure the cold.
On the morning of the 28th day of the lunar year, Xu Ning's RV had appeared near the oasis. Through the telescope, Xu Ning saw the ewe and the fat fox planting trees diligently.
The fat fox is responsible for digging the hole, the robot puts the tree into the hole, and the ewe is responsible for burying it.
When Xu Ning drove the RV to their side, the fat fox was still digging the soil hard. Until it smelled a familiar smell, it immediately jumped into Xu Ning's arms with a scream.
The ewe also followed over. She sniffed Xu Ning around but didn't come over to him in a friendly way.
The fat fox's body shape is now similar to when I first met it. Its solid body has finally been reduced a little by planting trees.
Xu Ning stroked him, gave him a hot roast chicken and let him eat it, then squatted in front of the ewe.
"Sister Yang, I ate mutton, do you dislike me?" Xu Ning met the ewe's blank eyes. The ewe turned her head away and then turned back to look straight at Xu Ning.
"Don't worry, I didn't eat your lamb. Your lamb is still here." Xu Ning touched the ewe's head and released the lamb that he had stored in the space on the open space nearby.
The ewe immediately threw herself on the wet lamb, wailing in pain. It was her child, her child…
The fat fox, who had eaten half of the roast chicken, ran back with the unfinished roast chicken in his mouth. He looked at Xu Ning and then at the ewe, as if asking what had happened.
Xu Ning patiently told it how she met the ewe. Regardless of whether the fat fox understood or not, she went to give the robot new commands after she finished speaking.
The oasis now occupies a large area. Xu Ning asked the robots to surround the entire oasis with thorns and prickly vines starting today.
Xu Ning also put the rams and lambs bought from the Western Regions into the livestock shed in the woods. They adapted well to the environment and after staying in the shed for a short time, they came out of the shed on their own initiative and went to the lake to eat grass.
The oasis is warmer than the Western Regions. The lake is not frozen, the water is warm, and the grass by the lake is still growing lushly.
It snowed in the oasis several times, but the snow melted quickly at dawn. If Xu Ning hadn't seen it from the drone, he would have thought that it never snowed in the oasis.
In the evening, the ewe, who had been wailing all day, returned to Xu Ning after burying her child. She bleated non-stop, as if she wanted to tell Xu Ning something.
Xu Ning didn't understand, so he just turned around in circles, which made the fat fox laugh evilly. Xu Ning kicked him, and the fat fox rolled on the ground for several circles. He stood up and cursed Xu Ning, then he gestured to Xu Ning what the ewe meant.
It took Xu Ning a long time to understand what the ewe meant. It turned out that the ewe had seen the ram and the lambs, and she said she didn't like them. She was a mountain goat, and the ram and the two lambs were not, so she didn't like them.
"Do you object if I eat them?" Since she doesn't like them, the ewe won't object if she eats them.
As a result, the ewe raised her two front paws and jumped several times in front of Xu Ning. Xu Ning didn't understand and looked at the fat fox again.
The fat fox gestured resignedly, saying that the ewe said the young one could not be eaten, but he could kill the male one as he pleased.
Xu Ning: ...you said you didn’t like it, but you protected the younger one again.
"Don't worry, I won't eat anything. I've bought enough food and I'm too lazy to cook. It's so cold, it's more comfortable to eat ready-made food!" She could just heat up the food in the carriage over the fire and she wouldn't bother to kill the animals.
The fat fox agreed very much. He circled around Xu Ning, wagging his tail and smiling flatteringly.
"Got it. Your reward will be here soon." Xu Ning bought more than a dozen roasted whole lambs, which were enough for Xu Ning and the fat fox to eat for a long time.
Xu Ning moved the RV to the lakeside, lit a fire and put a whole roasted lamb on the grill. The fat fox drooled at the smell, and the ewe hid in the livestock shed in the woods in fear.
Xu Ning ignored it, knowing that it was normal to be afraid. If it wasn't afraid, Xu Ning would really worry that it was a stupid sheep.
