Chapter 6488: All Nutritious Ingredients
Luo Bi loves to hear compliments, but Lan Rui doesn't know how to say them, so let's not just sit idly by.
Lan Rui's newly decorated courtyard was ruined. Except for the rocks, everything else, such as flowers and plants, was dug out of the soil and leaned to one side. Everyone who heard the noise came to see what was going on.
Because they needed to leave the safe zone, they all got up very early.
The Talented Contract Masters weren't up yet. They were of noble status and pampered, so they wouldn't get up early. The Thunderflame Warriors and the children all went to Lan Rui's house and were dumbfounded when they saw the yard that looked like it had been turned over.
He Qian also arrived. After a moment of surprise, Han Chong asked, "Lan Rui, what kind of strange beast did you catch?"
Zhan Shao was reminded and suddenly thought of the millet rats. He looked back and found that there weren't any left. No need to ask, it must have been the millet rats that had dug them up. He had bought a little pet that was digging in the dirt.
Lan Rui picked up the car keys: "I'm going to ask Luo Bi what's going on with her millet rat."
He Qian came to his senses and said, "Ah, the millet rats in her house don't dig into the soil."
Lan Rui was dumbfounded. The other people's rats didn't dig in the soil, but the millet rats he was sold to dig in the soil and even ran away. He had traded rare river delicacies with shells for the millet rats, and not a single one was left. It would have been better to eat them instead.
Everyone present learned their lesson: no matter how cute the millet rat is, it's still a beast. It can only be killed and eaten; it can't be tamed. Look at how messed up this perfectly good yard has become. It will take a lot of interstellar currency to renovate it.
Tang Ge also needs to go back and tell Tong Yiting that they can't keep the millet rats anymore, no matter how cute they are.
Lan Rui and Zhan Shao had no choice but to tidy up the yard and stay in the safe zone for the time being. He Qian didn't stay long and got into the military hovercar to go back. When he arrived at Luo Bi's house, he found that Luo Bi hadn't gotten up yet.
However, He Qian had an idea and went down to the foot of the hill to rummage through the bamboo baskets containing the millet rats.
Then, He Qian froze: "..."
Not a single sorghum rat was missing. The problem was that the sorghum rats that were used to replace the food yesterday had been replaced. Zhu Xingjie and the other children got up very early, and they were all very happy, chatting about going to collect sorghum rats in the middle of the night.
He Qian then realized that while the child was asleep in the first half of the night, he went to Lan Rui's yard in the second half to collect millet rats. He had collected them all without missing a single one, and he had completely outmaneuvered Lan Rui.
Tang Shao came from the courtyard of the general's family. He Qian told Tang Shao, "You can't keep millet rats. They dug up the courtyard that Lan Rui was happily building. The whole courtyard was covered in holes."
Tang Shaoxin? He subconsciously glanced around the courtyard.
He Qian took a breath; he wasn't stupid. "Luo Bi probably has a way to stop the millet rats from digging in the soil."
Millet rats are easily angered and die. Keeping them for two or three days is fine, but who knew they would dig into the soil? Now that I think about it, it's not surprising at all. Millet rats are naturally diggers, and their special ability is to turn into soil.
He Qian and Tang Shao exchanged a glance. Did Luo Bi know that Lan Rui's family courtyard had been dug up?
Guan Zhuting and Madam Zhu had already prepared breakfast. It was still early, so everyone sat down to eat. The children and He Xiang were very enthusiastic about eating, as the food was all nutritious, and some of it even contained energy.
When the children heard that Lan Rui's house had been dug down by millet rats, they were stunned and didn't quite believe it. Wei Tuo, Zhu Xingxu, and Wu Cheng ran to Lan Rui's house and saw Zhan Shao and the others cleaning up the yard.
"Wu Cheng?" Zhan Shao asked, puzzled when he saw Wu Cheng. "You've come to Zhuoxing too."
The Wu family did not come to Zhuoxing to build a courtyard.
Wu Cheng gave a perfunctory reply, glanced at the yard, and thought, "My goodness, we could even farm there now."
The children were puzzled when they returned home; the millet mouse hadn't dug into the soil! (End of Chapter)
