Communicate with furry animals without any barriers, and take the farm to the next level

Chapter 4 Strange Humans
The rock rat took heavy steps and bumped into the stone at the entrance of the cave. After a small bump appeared on its body, it realized that it was not dead.

The feeling of being energetic, warm and comfortable is not an illusion.

A ball of clean and comfortable hay was placed where it had slept before, and a piece of golden fried sweet mushroom with a mouse-inducing aroma was placed in front of it.

Although it was only the smallest one left by Josh.

The little squirrel quickly stuffed the sweet mushroom into his mouth, apparently forgetting one of the rules of survival in the wild: don't eat anything indiscriminately.

After savoring the meal for a long time, Kong Yanshu couldn't control his pace and ran to the back of the house involuntarily, hiding in the bushes to peek at Qiao Xi.

When it saw the big-tailed yak use that move, it trembled all over. If it were to be hit by that move, wouldn’t it be sent to see the grandmother?
It seems that this human yesterday really didn't have any ill intentions towards it and even fed it sweet mango mushrooms.

As he was thinking about it, his little paws couldn't help but wipe his mouth, savoring the delicious taste.

Or, why not hold off on moving for now?
The empty rock rat hesitated.

When encountering a powerful enemy, they will generally move their positions quickly and will not stay in dangerous places for too long.

But maybe the temptation of the sweet mushroom was too great, but it made the rock rat hesitate and didn't want to move away.

Qiao Xi, who was loosening the soil and digging a hole nearby, noticed the empty rock rat standing there out of the corner of his eye and smiled.

"Looks like we really are going to have a new neighbor."

"Moo~" I can take it to eat the freshest green grass.

"It doesn't eat grass, you can eat it yourself, Big Tail Yak."

"Moo~" Then I'll eat it myself! I'll nibble on it!
The rock rat hid in the grass for a while before the big-tailed yak discovered it and fanned its big tail, which was its special way of reminding Josh.

However, the Sky Rock Rat was too timid, so she didn't call it out loud, letting them slowly get used to each other and then communicate and understand each other.

It's not the right time yet.

Making any noise now would only scare it out of its wits and make it move quickly to a place far away from here.

It will be difficult to find another magical beast with spatial energy.

Put the taro seeds in your hand into the dug holes one by one, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil.

It won’t take too long, just a light rain, and these taro bamboos will sprout and grow quickly, and eventually produce taro beads as big as quail eggs.

In the middle of the process, you can also break off taro sprouts and taro flowers to sell. This is the initial variety that Qiao Xi chose after careful consideration.

The price is above average, the yield is large, and it likes water but is not afraid of moisture. The roots are shallow, so you can dig up taro when the time comes, which is like turning the soil. It will also be convenient if you want to switch to growing other crops in the future.

After planting all the taro seeds, Qiao Xi looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

I didn’t feel hungry when I was busy working, but now I feel very hungry.

Not having the energy to go to the woods to look for sweet mushrooms, Qiao Xi pulled out a tube of low-level nutrient solution, which was also one of her stocks.

It tasted so bad that I left some food. Now I have to eat it today.

After drinking the nutrient solution in one gulp and resisting the urge to retch, Qiao Xi collapsed in his chair, exhausted. After recovering a little, Qiao Xi packed up his things, took out a large backpack, and prepared to look for sweet mushrooms and see if there were any other goodies.

Starting from where I found the sweet mushrooms yesterday, I carefully put the remaining slightly larger sweet mushrooms into the backpack, and did not forget to put a layer of dry pine needles underneath to prevent them from being damaged by the shaking.

The space of the backpack is not big, and I stuff a lot of things into it. I’m afraid it will get squeezed and damaged.

The big-tailed yak followed Josh, walking slowly, looking at Josh and eating a mouthful of grass.

It ate so much that its belly was round.

I turned over and over the land around me that people could pass through, and the harvest was quite good, a full basket of sweet mushrooms.

I just don't know what the price is.

Although Qiao Xi's farm is the only farm with a snowy mountain environment, it is inevitable that other farms can also produce sweet mushrooms, and if there are too many goods, they will be worthless.

I can't just sit there and wait for death. A single commodity cannot sustain the normal operation of the farm, Josh thought, I need to open up more arable land.

However, the extensive farming method used this morning cannot meet the needs of most crops, and intensive farming is still necessary.

Intensive farming requires the support of powerful farming monsters. The level of mechanization in this world is still low, and it relies too much on monsters, but fortunately she has it.

She picked up the big-tailed yak after she traveled through time. No, to be more precise, she was saved by the big-tailed yak in the snow. It used its thick fur to keep Qiao Xi warm and used its rich milk to supplement her nutrition and provide heat. For a whole winter, she and the big-tailed yak depended on each other. When spring came, the big-tailed yak left the tribe and followed Qiao Xi down the mountain.

Qiao Xi had no memory of this body's original state. She only knew that after they came down the mountain, she heard some villagers talking about how lucky she was that she hadn't been taken away by such a cruel winter, unlike her parents who were both short-lived.

Qiao Xi thought that she probably had no relatives, so she built a wooden house at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. With the big-tailed yaks around, she didn't have to worry about the blizzard or food.

Thanks to the protection of the big-tailed yak, Qiao Xi was able to move freely in the snow-capped mountains, collected many precious magic plants and herbs, and also accumulated a considerable amount of savings.

However, the big-tailed yak should have a baby, otherwise it would not produce milk. However, Josh had never seen one, and when he asked about it, the big-tailed yak just mooed softly. It was very sad, so Josh did not ask any more questions.

Perhaps it was the pain of losing her baby that aroused the big-tailed yak's deep-seated maternal instinct in the snowstorm, and she saved the dying Qiao Xi. The man and the yak depended on each other for survival.

But it was still too cold on the snowy mountains, and she could not move at all without the big-tailed yak. ​​So when she heard about the farm plan, she asked the big-tailed yak for its opinion, and the two of them finally went south to find a new home.

Lying in bed and thinking, Josh fell asleep.

After getting up, Qiao Xi planned to plant broad beans next to the taro and bamboo field he had planted yesterday. There were too many small shrubs and dry trees on the land, and even if the big-tailed yaks turned the soil, it would be difficult for Qiao Xi alone to pull out the branches.

Broad beans need to climb on the racks to grow better. And one broad bean can cover a large area of ​​land, so it doesn't take many seeds to fill the land.

Josh happened to have a small bag with him, which should be enough to fill it up.

Moreover, bean crops often attract small monsters such as digging rats. If he can attract a few of them, Josh will have more helpers.

Think about it, if there were big-tailed yaks to plow the land and burrowing rats to dig holes for planting, wouldn't all we have to do is water and harvest, and we could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor?
No, if I could meet a few more beavers, I could water the crops and harvest the berries. Hahaha~Josh laughed wildly with his hands on his hips. If...
"Moo~" The big-tailed yak's tail swept across the small tree next to it, and the cold dew splashed on Qiao Xi's face, waking her up from her silly smile.

Qiao Xi scratched his head awkwardly, then said confidently, "I'm just imagining our wonderful future life!

I'm not daydreaming!"
