Chapter 94: Bully Goose
Xiao Hei saw Qin Wanwan and slowly descended from the tree trunk.
It didn’t even cling to the tree trunk to descend, but rather hung its head downwards.
“Yes, Xiao Hei is shedding its skin again.”
This was already Xiao Hei’s third shedding of skin this year.
Although Xiao Hei is a python, its growth speed truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“Will it grow bigger after this shedding?”
Watching Xiao Hei swim into the water basin, Colonel Lin felt both curious and a little creeped out.
He felt that Xiao Hei seemed quite abnormal.
Keke, however, felt there was nothing to be surprised about. The animals around Wanwan are all influenced by her Qilin power, and some animals’ bloodlines may revert to ancestral forms and optimize.
However, although Xiao Hei looked terrifying, its temper was the gentlest among all the animals at home.
Perhaps no one would have imagined that Qin Wanwan’s pets consisted of six carnivores and one omnivore.
The one omnivore referred to is Qin Xiaoe, as it not only eats grass but also occasionally enjoys some meat for a treat.
It also eats the grasshoppers in the pasture grass every day.
Yet, this big goose, which isn’t exactly a fierce beast, is the most irritable among the animals at home.
It’s a total combat goose, more territorial than a lion.
All the cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese in Shahe City have been bullied by it, and none can defeat it.
For example, today, Qin Xiaoe has gone to ‘conquer battlefields’ somewhere again.
Xiao Hei’s skin shedding process is slow, and during this time, it especially likes water.
After rinsing in the water, it would climb onto a branch and use the rough branches to rub off its snake skin.
Qin Wanwan asked Lang Ya to place the water basin under the tree.
“Xiao Hei, if you feel uncomfortable, come down and take a bath yourself.”
“Hiss~”
Colonel Lin couldn’t help but stare at the large snake several more times.
This snake truly looked terrifying.
When Colonel Lin went to find Xie Chong, Qin Wanwan also hopped along.
They heard that the pasture grass in the outskirts had grown and attracted quite a few locusts.
That pasture grass covered a full thirty-odd mu, not like the small-scale affair of the small lawn in the front yard of the General’s Mansion.
Not only locusts, but also a great many herbivorous animals were attracted.
Even the war horses from their military camp, when let out to roam, particularly liked to run towards the pasture, taking every opportunity to nibble at it.
When herding collectively, the shepherd dared not drive the herd towards the pasture; they had to drive them in the opposite direction.
“Daddy, are you going to the pasture? I want to go too.”
She raised her small hands: “I want to be carried, and take Little Red and the others with us.”
“Alright.”
Xie Chong picked up Qin Wanwan: “Go and call Qin Xiaoe, let it help me with something.”
When they found Qin Xiaoe, it was chasing a dog.
Qin Xiaoe’s feathers were not pure white; its back and wings had a silver-gray hue, making it look exceptionally refined and beautiful.
It had a bright red bump on its head, and its size was larger than the adult dog it was chasing, especially when its wings were spread, making them imposing.
Most crucially, this creature, weighing about 20 jin, could actually fly with its large wings.
Though it couldn’t fly very high.
“Qin Xiaoe!”
Qin Wanwan’s childish voice rebuked, and Qin Xiaoe, who was chasing the big dog, immediately changed course, honking and flapping towards Qin Wanwan.
“What are you doing now?”
Qin Wanwan grabbed the big goose by the neck.
This big goose, which acted so imperiously outside, was exceptionally obedient in front of the little girl Qin Wanwan.
“Honk~”
‘It’s not the goose’s fault; that big dog bullied the goose first!’
Qin Xiaoe’s feathers were well-groomed; despite its large size, its feathers were lustrous and shiny, gleaming under the sun.
Anyone who saw Qin Xiaoe would praise it.
After all, one could truly see the adjective ‘majestic’ in Qin Xiaoe.
“Daddy has something, and needs your help.”
Qin Xiaoe’s bean-like eyes looked at Xie Chong: “Honk?”
Its expression seemed to be asking what the matter was.
Colonel Lin: … All the animals that Wanwan raises are not right!
“The military camp bought a batch of poultry, chickens, ducks, and geese, about two thousand in total. Please help lead them to the pasture to eat only the locusts and not the grass, and even if they must eat grass, not too much.”
Xie Chong knew that the animals Qin Wanwan raised were exceptionally intelligent, as if they could understand words.
“Honk!”
Qin Wanwan acted as the translator: “Daddy, Xiaoe says it can do it, but it has a condition.”
Xie Chong raised an eyebrow: “What condition, tell me.”
“Honk honk…”
As Qin Wanwan listened, her little brows furrowed together.
Later, she even rolled her eyes.
“You’re thinking too highly of yourself.”
“Daddy, it wants you to catch ten female swans for it; it wants ten female swans as wives!”
“Pfft…”
Colonel Lin couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Xie Chong’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Qin Wanwan clenched her small fists and tapped the red bump on Qin Xiaoe’s head.
Colonel Lin was given a sharp look by Qin Xiaoe; its gaze was indeed quite fierce.
Qin Xiaoe: As a majestic and strong goose like itself, what’s wrong with asking for more beautiful wives? Later, it will give birth to a lot of excellent goslings for Wanwan, and wherever Wanwan goes, they will follow, wouldn’t that be majestic?
Colonel Lin asked curiously: “Shahe City isn’t without people who raise geese; why not find female geese?”
And to liken them to swans, that’s quite a thought.
“Honk…”
Qin Wanwan: “It says you don’t understand anything. Those female geese are dirty and can’t fly. It wants to find beautiful swans that can fly, so the offspring will be strong and able to fly.”
Xie Chong pinched her nose: “Don’t just repeat everything.”
Qin Wanwan said “oh.”
“I promise you.”
Catching swans was nothing; with so many of them, they couldn’t catch ten female swans?
“Honk!”
‘Deal!’
This time, without Qin Wanwan translating, everyone could understand from its tone and expression.
Qin Xiaoe followed them to an open space outside the military camp.
There, the purchased chickens, ducks, and geese were all placed together.
The chirping sounds mingled together, much like a bustling market.
“Honk!”
Qin Xiaoe descended from the sky with a stylish flourish.
The big goose landed on a large rock, stretched its long, snow-white neck, spread its wings, and let out a loud cry.
The young chicks, which had been chattering noisily, immediately fell silent.
Their bean-like eyes were all fixed on the snow-white big goose that had descended from the sky.
Everyone present was stunned by this peculiar scene.
“Wow, it actually works.”
Qin Xiaoe stood on the rock and honked a few times, looking quite like a leader giving a speech.
Only Qin Wanwan understood what it was saying.
‘All you chicks be good and obedient to this goose, or I’ll eat you, one by one, without choking!’
A fierce bully goose, as expected of Qin Xiaoe!
