Chapter 161 Mutant Mosquitoes
Bai Tang stopped and turned around, then saw a woman-like figure smiling at her.
The man asked again, "You seem to want it, let me ask."
Bai Tang said, "We don't want it anymore, why don't you take it?"
The woman quickly replied, "Oh, thank you, sister. My name is Liu Yun. I didn't know your name."
Bai Tang said, "My name is Bai Tang. You can come in and take these seedlings yourselves."
Upon hearing her name, Liu Yun quickly exclaimed, "You...you're that Captain Bai's Bai Tang?"
Bai Tang nodded, and Liu Yun continued, "Oh, what a coincidence!"
Many of us want to thank you for bringing back those mutant animals from Extreme Cold.
And I can't just take your things for free today.
We happen to grow potatoes at home, so here's a bag for you.
"You can't say no! This is our token of appreciation, please accept it."
As she spoke, Liu Yun called her son over and brought over a sack of potatoes.
Bai Tang initially wanted to decline, but Liu Yun said:
"You have made such a great contribution to our base, and I can't just take your things for nothing."
Our sack of potatoes isn't much; it probably doesn't even weigh as much as your vines. Please accept it.
Seeing that they couldn't refuse, Bai Tang said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Liu."
We grow sweet potatoes at home, you can have some.
As she spoke, she asked Gu Yanxu to fetch the remaining sweet potatoes from the edge of the field.
Since the car was already full, they planned to take the remaining food back with them.
This saves them the trouble of taking it back.
Gu Yanxu quickly brought over a small net bag containing about a few pounds of sweet potatoes.
Then Bai Tang took it from Gu Yanxu and was about to hand it to Liu Yun.
But she still refused to accept anything else fromBai Tang.
Liu Yun said, "We 've already gotten a great dealby taking your sweet potato vines."
Where else can I ask for anything else from you?
This bag of potatoes is a token of our appreciation; it means nothing more than that.
Bai Tang still insisted on giving it to her, and then said:
"Our sweet potato vines were useless to us, so we gave them to you."
But you must have a use for these potatoes at home, so we can't take advantage of you.
Let's not argue anymore. I'll accept your potatoes, and you can accept my sweet potatoesand sweet potato vines.
That way, we can both feel better about ourselves.
"Hey, okay, you're really kind, ladies." Liu Yun finally relented and accepted the little bit ofsweet potato.
Then she continued, "Could my son and I go and harvest the sweet potato seedlings in your field first?"
My husband just went home to get a bag; he'll be back in a little while.
Bai Tang said, "Sure, we don't have anything to do at home anyway."
We can help you collect them.
As he spoke, Bai Tang asked Mu Mu to take his grandfather and parents to the side to rest and have some water.
Then she, along with Gu Yanxu and Lin Feng, helped Liu Yun and her son harvest sweet potato seedlings.
Almost every household in the fields is rushing to harvest their grain.
Because the grain is ripe at this time, if they don't harvest it, it might be dug up by someone else.
Although the kind of crop destruction that happened before will not occur.
However, there will always be people who will try to take advantage of others by digging up one or two plants from other people's fields and taking them home.
Besides, they didn't dig much, and the Patrol Team didn't even know if it was their land.
It wasn't very effective at stopping the digging, except for some houses with wire fences whose land wasn't disturbed.
The crops in the rest of the fields had been dug up to some extent.
That's why they've been rushing to harvest the crops these past two days.
If we don't harvest the crops in the fields soon, someone else will have already taken them all.
It's infuriating to have your crops, which you've worked so hard to grow for four or five months, taken away by someone else.
Bai Tang and the others helped pack up for a while, and then Liu Yun's husband came back with the bags.
He walked over to Bai Tang and the others and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
You guys stop and take a break, we'll handle the rest.
" You've already done more than kind by giving us these sweet potato vines; we can't trouble you any further."
As he spoke, he stopped Lin Feng and the others to rest, and he and his son quickly cleared away the unwanted sweet potato vines from Bai Tang's field.
The reason they dare to openly and honestly harvest crops here is...
This is because two Patrol Teams were patrolling the area behind the mountain at the same time not far away.
This can greatly reduce the occurrence of crop theft.
After all, people value their lives, and if they are caught, there is a high probability that they will be forced into hard labor.
Liu Yun and his family quickly finished setting things up, and then Bai Tang and his family also put up a wire fence.
After locking the wire fence again, Bai Tang said goodbye to Liu Yun's family.
Then Lin Feng and his family carried the potatoes Liu Yun had given them and headed home.
After they got home, they all took a shower first.
Everyone was quite tired after a long day working in the fields.
Bai Tang decided to eat the ready-made meal and then get some rest.
She quickly finished washing up and came out, then set the food on the living room table.
During the meal, Lin Feng said, "Something bit me just now."
Now I have a huge itchy bump.
As he spoke, he stretched out his arm to show everyone. Lin Fan said:
"How come you're so popular with animals? This is too pitiful."
Only then did they notice a large, red bump that had swelled up on Lin Feng's arm.
Suddenly, everyone stopped joking and became serious.
Bai Tang said, "I'll give you some medicated oil and safflower oil in a bit."
Try applying it yourself and see if it reduces the swelling.
Everyone knows it was probably bitten by some mutated animal.
Gu Yanxu speculated: "Is it possible that you were bitten by a mutated mosquito?"
As if to confirm his words, a mutated mosquito the size of a child's palm flew in from the doorway.
At that moment, Canned Food, who was eating nearby, suddenly ran over.
Before Bai Tang and his group could even react to what was happening.
Canned Food leaped and bounded, instantly catching the mutated mosquito.
It firmly pinned the mutated mosquito under its claws.
At this moment, Bai Tang and the others stood up and headed towards Canned Food.
They didn't see the mutated mosquito at first.
Then, after walking over, Bai Tang said, "Canned Food, lift up your paws."
Let's see what you caught.
Canned Food obediently raised its paw, revealing a mutated mosquito the size of a child's palm underneath.
Everyone was startled by the size of the mosquito; they had never seen one so big before.
Although they live in the north, the mosquitoes they usually see are of normal size.
Lin Feng, in particular, was deeply saddened by the thought of such a large mosquito crawling on his arm and sucking his blood while he was taking a shower.
And before he even realized it, he suddenly felt terrible.
