Chapter 35: Guawa
Yao Yao led her team to the Iron Wood Forest.
There are 12 members of the official team, but there are also foreign players: Guava and his six-headed horned ox.
Yao Yao has eaten a lot of horned beef, the meat is fresh and tender, which makes people have an endless aftertaste, but this is the first time she has seen a live horned beef.
These creatures from the other world look very similar to the cattle on the earth, but they are larger, it is said to weigh about 800 kilograms, and their most special thing is that their horns are long and thick, almost half the length of their bodies.
These horns have a magical effect and can be made into very effective wound medicine, so the six horned cows of Guawa have no horns, and their horns have been removed.
Horned oxen are naturally very unhappy, their temper is far worse than that of the earth's cattle, wild horned oxen, which have caused a lot of casualties to the traverser, although these horned oxen have been domesticated by the guides, but they are not easy to control.
Therefore, the shepherd Guava must follow.
Guava has a special talent, he once accidentally ate a poisonous mushroom in the forest, but instead of being poisoned, he sparked a wild instinct, able to communicate with animals simply, and gain the trust of animals.
The six-horned ox listened to Guava, and he was the only one who could command.
When the team came to the Iron Wood Forest, Yao Yao divided the 12 team members into four groups, each group contracted an area, as for Guawa, he didn't need to cut wood, as long as he was optimistic about the cattle.
So Guava took his horned oxen to a dirt slope to graze. These cuties are not picky eaters at all and can eat any grass.
Yao Yao climbed the treetop to observe the surroundings, and found no danger, and after getting off the tree, she watched Gua Wa grazing.
"Aren't they afraid of eating poisonous plants?" asked Yao Yao curiously.
Guava's face was red, but fortunately his skin was dark and not too obvious, and he replied: "Horned oxens have special teeth and stomachs, they can chew the hardest grass roots, and their stomachs can digest poisonous food, so they can eat anything." ”
Yao Yao smiled: "I see that you know a lot about speaking, why do they say that you are a migrant worker who can't read big words?"
Guawa lowered her head and said: "I am a migrant worker, I graduated from high school and was not admitted to university, so I followed my relatives to work on the construction site...... It's hard work, but it's a lot of money. ”
"Hmph, those guys are making fun of you. Yao Yao said dissatisfiedly: "Don't look at them laughing at you, maybe there are many people in it who are not as good as you, Guawa, in fact, you are very powerful, so many people can communicate with the horned cow." ”
Guawa said embarrassedly: "There is also the boss, he is amazing." ”
"That person doesn't count, he's not a normal person. ”
Guava smiled, not knowing how to answer.
Yao Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Guawa, do you want to come to our logging team, the treatment is first-class." ”
Guawa hesitated for a moment and said, "I can do anything, but it seems that the dispatch personnel have the final say in the assessment committee." And my cow ......."
As he spoke, he touched the head of a cow beside him, and the cow mooed meekly in response to his master's caresses.
Yao Yao wanted to say that Paul was the oldest, but considering that these horned cows could only be taken care of by Gua Wa at present, she was afraid that the man would not let anyone go, so she had to give up.
After a while, she became active again and asked curiously, "Guawa, is this your nickname?"
Guawa nodded: "That's what my family called me before I was ten years old. ”
"Why did you come up with that name? Don't you people in the village like to call cats, dogs, or eggs?"
Gua Wa smiled, he didn't misunderstand that the other party was making fun of himself, Yao Yao was a lively and cheerful character, the kind that was straightforward and fast-talking, he knew that the other party didn't mean anything else.
"Say, what's embarrassing?" Yao Yao urged, still flickering with those big beautiful eyes.
Smiling.
Guawa suddenly had such a word in her heart, and she said in a daze: "When the fortune teller was a child, he said that I lacked wood in the five elements, and it happened that day that my father brought back a particularly big pumpkin from the field, and everyone said that they had never seen such a big melon." My mother forced me to recognize this melon as my godfather... So every morning when I go to school, I have to go to the ancestral hall and say to the enshrined melon, 'Godfather, I went to school'......"
Before he finished his words, Yao Yao had already laughed and leaned back, and finally couldn't support it, leaning on the cow next to him, the horned cow smelled the breath that did not belong to the owner, mooed dissatisfiedly, and was scolded by Guawa.
In the distance, Dumb kept looking this way while sawing wood, and when he saw that the short, fat, black and swarthy guy didn't know what to say, and made the beautiful woman keep laughing, he pulled the saw twice and scolded: "Gua Wazi, I'll cut you!"
Huang Mao in the same group squinted at him and deliberately teased: "That beautiful girl is going to be soaked away by Gua Wa, why don't you go and see it?"
This big guy doesn't have much IQ at first glance, so it's good for him to pester that.
Dumb listened, and was really a little anxious, fidgeting, and his sawing hand stopped moving.
Huang Mao said: "Brother, you just have to go, I am here, and I can't delay the work." ”
Dumb was stunned and said, "Oh, thank you then, I'll help you work next time." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked that way, but halfway through the road, he remembered that there was no suitable reason to talk to people.
By the way, just report to the captain that I'm going to pee.
Dumb was very proud of his wit, and hurried over with three steps and two steps.
Unfortunately, before he could get closer, Yao Yao suddenly raised his bow and arrows and shouted at this side: "Who is it?"
Dumb was startled, and was about to answer, when a bunch of people rushed out of the jungle around him, and someone shouted first: "Sister Xiaoyao, it's us." ”
Yao Yao put away her bow and smiled: "Xiaoliang, Ouyang, it turned out to be you." How did you end up here?"
The people who came were Xiao Liang and Ouyang, and there were some traversers, who had been incorporated into Team B a few days ago, and somehow appeared here.
The old ghost walked out from behind Xiao Liang, and said with a smile: "Hello Xiaoyao, I brought these old guys to rob you of your work." ”
Yao Yao said: "Old ghost, isn't your team going to do a combat mission?"
The old ghost said: "Yes, passing by here, take a look by the way, haha, how many days of wood have been chopped, everyone has feelings." ”
Many of the people who were assigned to Team B turned out to be loggers who followed him, so they joked that they were coming to rob Yao Yao of his work.
The two teams converged and chatted for a few words, Yao Yao pointed at Xiao Liang and Ouyang and said, "Old ghost, please ask you one thing, they are all friends with me, take care of them when they do tasks." ”
"No problem!" said the old ghost, "Our old friends of wood, please take care of them as much as possible, and try to cut down those who are adults, let them grow as long as they are, and let them live out their old age in peace." ”
"OK, I'll take special care of them, I'm going to graft some new branches on the fallen trees to give them a new life. ”
The two laughed, and after making a joke, Yao Yao asked curiously, "What monster are you going to deal with today, are you sure?"
The old ghost said: "Yesterday, the reconnaissance team found a cave in the upper reaches of the river in front, and there were some very large flying bats in it, and the assessment committee issued a task to capture some, which is our purpose." ”
Yao Yao frowned and said: "Is it the first time to go, the situation is still unknown, and I don't know much about those bats, you better be careful!"
The old ghost nodded: "We made some preparations. You see, the boys are carrying behind them the hook knife fishing nets that you suggested Lao Mu made, these fishing nets are assembled and pulled apart in groups of three, which can enclose a large area, and should be very effective against those flying monsters. ”
"Well, good luck then!"
After Yao Yao finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Liang and Ouyang aside again, and whispered: "It should be a good choice to follow the old ghost, but you still have to be smart, you have strengthened your physical attributes these days, and it is enough to deal with ordinary monsters, but if you encounter a particularly powerful one, you had better advise the old ghost to retreat." ”
Both of them nodded in agreement, and Xiao Liang said: "Sister Xiaoyao, if only you could be the captain, I would be willing to die in battle under you." ”
"What nonsense do you say, you will die before you fight. Yao Yao patted him on the head and scolded, "Get out, the old ghost is waiting for you." ”
Ouyang nodded at her again and left with Xiao Liang.
