Chapter 256: Untitled
Yu Wuyou thoroughly examined Xiao Hei, but felt a bit regretful.
“Why isn’t it poisonous? If such a large snake were poisonous, how much toxin would it have?”
He pondered, stroking his chin, “However, it should be possible to cultivate them. Cub, can I breed this snake? I have a very beautiful, large, fine snake, it will definitely like it.”
Xiao Hei: “!!!”
Let it go!!!
Qin Wanwan said seriously, “I’m not the type of owner who arranges marriages. It depends on whether Xiao Hei likes it itself.”
Yu Wuyou nodded, “Okay, I’ll bring my snake back when I go back, or I can also take Xiao Hei back.”
His enthusiasm for Xiao Hei was quite high.
Of course, he was also very interested in the other animals around Qin Wanwan.
For these animals, one having undergone a mutation could be considered accidental, but for almost all the animals around the young lady to have mutated, it was definitely not accidental.
In conclusion, he was more interested in Qin Wanwan.
After releasing the snake and arriving at the backyard, upon seeing the roses on the courtyard wall and the flower garden, Yu Wuyou could clearly feel the stirring of the precious Gu worms on his body.
With a thought, countless butterflies and insects that liked flower nectar flew out.
They eagerly alighted on the flowers that were in full bloom.
Yu Wuyou had a connection with those Gu worms, and he quickly sensed their joyful emotions.
He looked at Qin Wanwan with bright eyes, “Did you plant these flowers?”
Qin Wanwan nodded, “Yes.”
“You are truly a genius! These flowers are of better quality than any I’ve seen!”
“Some of them are also medicinal. Since you are so good at planting, why didn’t you plant medicinal herbs?”
Qin Wanwan looked bewildered, “Huh? I planted them as food for the red butterflies and the bees at home.”
However, she did have some medicinal herbs.
The little one led him to her room and then brought out the pot of wild ginseng.
“Daddy, look!”
Yu Wuyou’s eyes widened as he circled the wild ginseng.
“Good quality!”
“This hundred-year-old wild ginseng, but its medicinal properties already exceed one hundred and fifty years.”
His gaze at Qin Wanwan became even brighter. He directly picked her up and kissed her, even nuzzling his face against hers.
“My daughter is truly amazing.”
If he hadn’t felt much about Qin Wanwan being his daughter before, now… Wanwan was definitely his daughter.
She liked animals and could even control them, so controlling Gu worms would surely be easy. She was also skilled at planting, growing everything so well, so medicinal herbs would certainly be no problem.
How could he have a daughter who so perfectly matched his hobbies?
He had decided this daughter was his.
Thus, Yu Wuyou quickly adapted to his new identity.
Qin Wanwan’s father!
After tasting the milk tea, fried chicken and fries, and tea eggs, he liked it even more.
This life is truly wonderful.
After staying at the General’s Mansion for two days, the medicinal herbs Xie Chong had sought arrived.
Yu Wuyou also quickly produced the medicinal powder to deal with the locusts.
The medicinal powder mixed with water was also effective, though it was diluted, it could cover a larger area.
After confirming that the medicine caused no harm to humans or plants, Xie Chong immediately led his men to sprinkle the water mixed with the medicinal powder onto the wheat.
The diluted medicine’s effect wasn’t as immediate, but not much time passed before the locusts that landed on the wheat quickly stiffened and fell to the ground.
They didn’t die from poisoning, they just lost their strength, becoming paralyzed.
Now, the poultry in the wheat fields didn’t need to flap their wings laboriously; they could just lower their heads and peck.
They didn’t stop after eating their fill, picking up grasshoppers in their mouths and piling them up outside, treating them as food for tomorrow.
The locust plague was brought under control, and everyone was overjoyed.
However, this task took up nearly half a month.
It had been several days since Qin Wanwan last saw Father Xie.
He had dark circles under his eyes, looked haggard, had lost weight, and was unshaven.
Most importantly, he smelled terrible!
Qin Wanwan had initially wanted to rush over and give her daddy a big hug, but the smell emanating from him almost made her faint.
“Daddy, you smell so bad.”
Qin Wanwan wrinkled her little nose, her big eyes looking at her daddy with concern, but she truly disliked the smell.
Xie Chong scratched his head, “I’ll go wash up when I get back.”
He did indeed smell bad.
After all, he had been outdoors, his sweat had been trapped without time to wash, and mixed with other odors, it was unbearable not only for a child like Qin Wanwan but even for an adult suddenly exposed to it.
Although she disliked the smell on her daddy, the little one still followed him closely.
While Xie Chong went to take a bath, she played outside the door with the little fox.
She tied several little bows in the little fox’s snow-white fur.
“When will Father Shang be back? I’ve already written to him, but I haven’t received a reply yet.”
Daddy Yu Wuyou was a divine doctor, and it reminded her that Father Shang had been looking for a divine doctor to treat an illness, which was precisely Daddy Yu Wuyou.
So she had written about it to Father Shang.
However, she hadn’t received any news from him yet.
“Waaaah~”
The little fox rolled in her arms, acting spoiled.
Qin Wanwan squeezed its paw.
Xie Chong emerged with the scent of water, his beard shaved off, and his long black hair cascading down his shoulders.
He had become much darker and had lost a lot of weight.
His overall appearance had declined somewhat, but the little Qilin cub didn’t mind.
She snuggled close to him.
“Daddy~”
Xie Chong picked her up, “Do I still smell?”
The little milk bun shook her head and then nodded.
“No more bad smell. Daddy smells nice now.”
“Cough cough…”
“Smelling nice” wasn’t a good adjective for him.
“Where is Yu Wuyou?”
He asked subtly.
Qin Wanwan pouted, “Daddy turned into a white-bearded old man and went out to see a doctor. He didn’t even take me!”
Xie Chong thought to himself that it was good he wasn’t here; if he wasn’t here, he wouldn’t be competing for his daughter.
“Daddy, do you want to sleep? Are you hungry?”
Xie Chong was indeed both sleepy and hungry now.
Aunt Zhang brought out the remaining steamed buns from that morning.
It wasn’t mealtime yet, and the food hadn’t been prepared.
The steamed buns had been reheated, and Xie Chong didn’t mind, taking a large bite.
He handed a milky-flavored one to Qin Wanwan.
He still preferred the original large steamed buns.
Qin Wanwan sat beside him, obediently nibbling on the milky-flavored little steamed bun.
While she finished one little steamed bun, Xie Chong had already eaten five large ones.
Finally, after drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, his stomach was full, and he carried his good daughter into the room to sleep.
The bed was now covered with an exquisite bamboo mat and a small quilt.
In the hot weather, Xie Chong didn’t like to cover himself with a quilt while sleeping, but he insisted on covering Qin Wanwan with one.
Even if it was hot, he had to cover her little belly to prevent her from catching a cold.
Qin Wanwan was also used to it, lying beside her daddy with her little belly covered.
The bed was large enough, and their sleeping postures were similar.
However, as they slept, the little one became a bit clingy, finally kicking off the little quilt, turning over a few times, and then climbing onto her daddy, her little butt pouting, and successfully climbing onto him, she used Xie Chong’s body as a bed and contentedly lay down to continue her nap.
