Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Animals’ Strange Reaction
Xiao Qingya wasn’t just familiar with the oxen, but also the goats and chickens.
The moment she stepped into the barn, they all crowded around her, but the little one shooed them away. The animals actually understood what she wanted and didn’t disturb her any longer.
[This spring water is indeed so miraculous. Where can we get more, System? It’s not available in the system’s shop.]
Before the System could answer, Xiao Qingya could feel someone lifting her up and snatching her away.
She almost thought she was getting kidnapped again.
The oxen suddenly bellowed, as if noticing her restlessness. The livestock keeper, Guo Tianliang was taken aback, and immediately evaded the ox, cursing in low voice.
It wasn’t just the oxen. Even the goats started to bleat and the chickens flapped their wings and squawked loudly.
The livestock keeper was shocked, so was Xiao Qingya. They were dumbfounded. Why did the livestock start to go crazy?
"Stop! Stop it!" Xiao Qingya had recognized the one holding her wasn’t a kidnapper, but the uncle who was working for her grandfather.
All of a sudden, the livestock became quiet and no longer attacked Guo Tianling. Alas, in the midst of such a commotion, an egg had landed on his face.
"Ughh," he spat it out from his mouth, careful not to let it smear on Xiao Qingya.
Seeing that the livestock had suddenly behaved and oddly quiet, he let Xiao Qingya down and scraped the white egg from his face.
His face felt all sticky and looked somewhat funny. He sighed and turned to Xiao Qingya. "Little one, why have you come here? It’s dangerous to be around such huge animals alone."
His eyes swept over the animals around. They seemed to be looking at him...?
"It’s fine, Uncle." Xiao Qingya waved her little hand. "They are all... friendly."
Guo Tianliang’s eyes twitched when he heard that. The goats were ramming at his butt, and chickens nearly tore his trousers apart and exposed his butt!
However, he had to admit that the livestock were incredibly friendly toward Xiao Qingya. Just look at that one hen. It had laid an egg directly in front of her.
The little one’s eyes lit up upon seeing the egg, and she picked it up. Seeing that the little one liked it, the other seven chickens also followed and did the same.
Now, Xiao Qingya couldn’t even hold all the eggs in her embrace.
The livestock keeper was so dumbfounded that he was questioning his own existence. Who am I? Where am I?
"Little Ya, where are you?" Xiao Yuyan’s soft, yet worried voice floated over. Then, her head peeked into the barn.
"Sister!" Xiao Qingya waved to her excitedly, pointing at the eggs. "Eggs! Help!"
Xiao Yuyan entered the barn, her heart full of questions.
[Host, you actually made the chicken lay so many eggs.] Even the System was a little confused. What kind of magical creature its host was actually?
[It’s not because of me. The effect of the spring water is just too good!] The little one suddenly became shy.
The System wanted to explain, but it hesitated, and could only keep its silence.
If its host were to give the pure miraculous spring water, perhaps it could achieve such an effect, but what she gave them was the diluted one.
Even if it could reach a similar effect, it would take a long time.
After being bound to its host for so long, it knew that its host was extremely unlucky. They had never completed any mission before except for the ones in this world.
Surprisingly, even when its host was slacking off like a salted fish, they could still complete the missions.
Xiao Yuyan found a small rattan basket and gathered the eggs together. At this moment, Xiao Qingya already walked over to Guo Tianliang and presented one chicken egg to him. "Uncle, take it!"
"For me?" Guo Tianliang was taken aback.
The little one stuffed the egg into his hand and walked back to her second sister. Xiao Yuyan took her little hand and led her to the house.
The System followed them in its Xiao Xue form.
Even until the three disappeared, Guo Tianliang was still in a daze.
The System had its head full of questions as it stared at Xiao Qingya’s back. It was really wondering. Is the Heavenly Yin Eyes so wonderful it could affect animals?
At this moment, Xiao Yuyan was also wondering the same thing. How did the little one find so many eggs after she visited the barn today?
She approached their mother and gave the eggs to her.
"Yan’er, where did you get so many eggs?" Xiao Yuxi asked in confusion. "Did you go out to buy eggs?"
However, the sky had turned completely dark.
"Little Ya got them from the chickens." Xiao Yuyan explained, coughing softly.
Zhou Anran looked at the little one who was busy poking and chasing Xiao Xue’s tail, and she wondered what kind of another magical thing she had done today.
"Does Little Ya want to eat eggs for dinner today?" Zhou Anran asked her youngest daughter.
Xiao Qingya looked up and nodded. "Eat eggs!"
With that, the Xiao family had eggs for their meal.
After going back and forth several times, Zhou Wenzhi and Xiao Fenghao were visibly exhausted. The route from Hejia Village to the county alone took two and half an hour to four hours, depending on the speed of travel.
They had spent the whole day on the journey.
"Ran’er, you bought chicken eggs?" Zhou Wenzhi looked at the round eggs in surprise. "They look slightly bigger than usual."
He picked one boiled egg and began to peel it. There were a total of ten eggs, enough for their family.
"Little Ya, try it. It’s good for you." He beamed as he split the egg into two and gave it to Xiao Qingya.
"We didn’t buy it, Father. It’s from the barn." Zhou Anran explained.
She knew she might not be able to hide Xiao Qingya’s ability for too long, especially from someone as keen as Zhou Wenzhi.
Zhou Wenzhi’s reaction was also unexpected.
