In the Free Galaxy Alliance, the capital of the Lothar Sector, in the northern continent wilderness of the planet Lotak, the former guard sergeant Baka, riding a large power motorcycle, drove the last naughty little black cow away.
In the corral, he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the robot next to him give the instruction "healthy, no obvious wounds".
The thirty-odd Andean black cattle calves in the corral are his most valuable property, much more expensive than the other five to six hundred large and small livestock in the pasture combined. Of course, he needs to be careful.
You know, whether these black cattle can grow up safely and produce meat is related to whether he can double the size of the pasture in the next year; whether he can introduce the cubs of the Bean Grass Bear that he has longed for;
In the city, he wanted to buy that small house with a garden that both he and his daughter liked.
This should be the last work of the day. Uncle Bearman calmly lit a pipe to relieve his fatigue. Looking at the endless wilderness, lush pastures and orchards, neat stables and warehouses, his heart suddenly felt...
It is filled with a sense of achievement for middle-aged people who have achieved success in their careers.
At this time, the two Lothar cowboys, with the help of the robot, had bundled the newly harvested forage and put it into the truck one by one.
These two were locals, and they were also long-term workers hired by Baca after he bought the ranch, with food and lodging included.
"Send the straw bag back to the warehouse and you can rest today. Let's have dinner later. Sonia promised to roast beef for us today."
"Okay, okay! Long live the boss!"
"Are you going to kill a black calf? I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Baka said loudly: "Fart, it's the ox that broke its leg yesterday. We eat the beef shoulder, and the rest will be transported to the city to be sold tomorrow!"
"Tsk, stingy~~~Boss, if you continue like this, you will lose us."
"It's unreasonable for people who raise black cows to eat black cows but can't afford them!"
"Bullshit, there are so many unreasonable things. Can those who build cruise ships afford to drive cruise ships? Can those who build palaces afford to live in palaces? If you want to eat black beef, there is a royal tomb in the mountain next door. You go dig it."
"Wow, boss, if you were a human, this would be enough for me to challenge you to a duel." A younger Lothar cowboy feigned anger.
"Bah! When the Sheriff came to check last time, who was the one wagging his tail behind?" His companion directly made trouble.
"Stop talking nonsense and keep an eye on these black cattle. If they sell for a good price next year, everyone will get a bonus. You may also be able to settle down in the city." Baka waved his hand and then got "Long live the boss."
"Cheers.
Bean Baca is not a stingy boss, and he gets along well with the Cowboys. The relationship between them is good enough that they can discuss some sensitive issues with each other.
His career is stable and improving, his daughter is healthy and lively, his colleagues are friendly and diligent, and his neighbors are friendly and enthusiastic. The bear man, who has gone through too many hardships in the first half of his life, actually enjoys his current state of life.
Now, it has been more than half a year since he left Nephi with his daughter and settled in this remote star region. Of course, he has no regrets at all about leaving the most prosperous metropolis in the galaxy.
After all, it’s not easy for Nephiju!
With the cultural level of a former sergeant in the police force, of course he couldn't think of such lines in his mind, but after living in Nephi for almost three years, he did think so deep in his heart.
Because luck (nobleness) and qi (people) are not in the wrong (help), he successfully found a good and cheap house, a job close to home and with a reasonable income. The Life Tree Medical College affiliated with Ocean University also agreed to accept him
My daughter was hospitalized.
Although the cost of treatment is expensive, it can still be collected, and there is also a bonus from Xinyumen.
When the course of treatment reached the middle stage, the professor at the medical school also helped him apply for the latest gene repair therapy. Because it was an experimental treatment, the cost could be further reduced.
"Don't worry, although it is experimental in nature, there have been no problems in the previous batches. If nothing else happens, your wife will not either."
If it's a relatively unreliable development, if nothing unexpected happens, something will happen.
However, the omnipresent spirit of the universe does not seem to be prepared to torture this father and daughter who have already suffered a lot. His daughter, Sonia, a hybrid girl of humans and bears, underwent three courses of new gene therapy.
, a great success.
"Actually, it is still very common here for us to have various genetic diseases caused by hybrids of humans and demi-humans due to genetic sequences. Unfortunately, there are still countless unsolved mysteries in life. With our technology,
She is just getting started. However, your daughter is very strong, and the treatment effect is the best I have ever seen." The professor of the medical school said: "In the future, it may still be difficult for her to have offspring, but if nothing happens, she should
You can live a healthy and healthy life for forty or fifty years."
Only forty or fifty years? Baka is somewhat disappointed.
You know, the average life span of human beings has already exceeded ninety years old. This is after taking into account various wars, various dangerous space explorations and adventures, and various frequent accidents in the space shipping industry.
As a type of demi-human, the Beorn Bears can be considered an immortal species for the time being, and their lifespan is twenty years longer than humans on average.
However, think about it from another perspective. Think about my daughter before, who often suffered from serious illnesses and minor illnesses. She was bedridden for at least four months a year and could not go out for four months. Now, she has lived a healthy life for forty or fifty years. Is this true?
Isn’t it a gift?
If my daughter really can only live another forty or fifty years, there is a high probability that she will be ahead of her. Then the next thing is to live the rest of her life well.
At this time, Baka remembered that he was just a herdsman before. What his daughter and his wife who died young missed most were actually the days when they were racing horses and herding in their hometown.
Because the medical expenses have been reduced and reduced, Baca has also worked very hard. Over the past two years, not only has his savings not been used up, but he has saved more. At this time, he also saw on the news that Lothar
The new government of the district should vigorously develop agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism and attract outside investment.
Not only are the pastures and farms there much cheaper than in other places, the government also has many excellent policy supports, and even if you buy a pasture, you will receive grain seeds and cattle seeds.
In this way, Baka said goodbye to Youyou and came to Losa with his ten-year-old daughter Sonia.
They were lucky enough to buy a pasture in the wilderness of the northern continent of the planet Lotak. The climate here is humid, the land is fertile, and the air is fresh. Although it is more than a hundred kilometers away from the nearest town, there are several nearby farms and pastures.
The hosts are very friendly and occasionally they even get together to have a bonfire party.
Although the pasture has been abandoned for a long time, it has been developed to a considerable extent after all, and many infrastructures are ready. It is not as hard as clearing land, and it does not make you feel like a savage.
Moreover, Planet Lotak was also the birthplace of the Lothar people back then, and it was actually a mature planet for habitation. Next to the ranch, there is a light-rail high-speed channel more than 100 meters above the ground. Whether you take the train or drive by yourself, it only takes half a day.
Hours.
Sonia, who has recovered her health, even rushes to school early every morning and comes back to cook dinner for everyone in the afternoon.
More importantly, in the distance of the Great Plains, there are mountains covered with white snow, which look like a fairyland amid the clouds and mist. Not to mention Nephi, even on Earth, if you want to buy a mountain with such a view,
For a house with a view, I guess I have to double or triple the money I spent to buy the ranch.
In this way, the happy middle-aged man Baka and his two Lothar men returned home with a sense of fatigue and satisfaction after a day's work.
They soon smelled the aroma of beef stew. Although it was the shoulder meat of old oxen, as long as it was simmered for a long enough time, the taste would be the same, and they couldn't tell them apart anyway.
When he entered the house, Baka saw his daughter Sonia putting a huge soup pot on the long table. She is a hybrid of bear and human. Although she is only ten years old, she is already the height of a young girl.
A short goblin servant brought out a large plate of freshly cooked fried rice from the back.
Just like a certain cooking god said, 90% of the intelligent races in the universe can eat egg fried rice and like to eat egg fried rice. No, the two Lothar cowboys have already started to drool.
A bear man uncle, a bear-human hybrid girl, two young Lothar cowboys, and a goblin helper, this is the entire staff of the "Baka Family Ranch". Everyone is sitting together like a family.
We all ate at the same table. Everyone was rough, so no one cared about food and other issues.
A large pot of beef and beans stewed without too many seasonings, but with rice wine to remove the fishy smell, so that it suited the taste of everyone present.
A plate of fried rice with eggs, a bowl of vegetables blanched in water, and a basket of bread, this is the dinner at this ranch.
The dishes were not rich, but they were large and filling, and the nutrition was balanced. The taste was not delicious, but it took into account the needs of all races. As a result, everyone enjoyed the dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Sonia said: "Tomorrow is Saturday. Dad, my classmates and I have made an appointment to attend a reading club. I will stay at Luna's house in the town for the past two days. I will come back the day after tomorrow."
"I don't agree." Baka just said this, and then he found that his little princess had put away her smile and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Ah hahaha, of course I'm joking."
Only then did the little girl smile again.
"But you must pay attention to safety."
"Well, don't worry, I will bring self-defense weapons." She smiled.
"No, I mean, don't hurt others. Our small ranch can't afford much medical expenses!"
So, amidst everyone's roar of laughter, the little girl blushed and left angrily.
After completing all the gene repair treatments, Sonia has never had an illness again. She is so energetic that she does not look like a congenitally ill patient, and she has fully exerted her natural divine power of the bear-human hybrid.
Only half a year after moving here, the little girl has already established herself as the "Bear Queen" in the town. Generally speaking, it should be the gangsters who should avoid her, not the other way around.
Facts have proved that outsiders are indeed easily excluded and easily bullied, but if the fist is strong enough, it is an excellent opportunity to quickly integrate into local life.
In addition, there is an alliance garrison camp nearby, and the security is very good. Even during the military control period, no serious cases occurred, so Baca really didn't worry about his daughter's safety.
The little girl always catches the bus to elementary school by herself, and often stays at friends' houses in the town. After half a year, even if Baka feels sorry for her daughter, she can now take it calmly.
As long as his daughter can be happy, Baka will be happy too. If he is too strict, his daughter will definitely not be happy.
However, the old bear man didn't know that after his cute and well-behaved daughter changed into light clothes, carried a basket of homemade snacks, carried a schoolbag, and left the ranch on his power skateboard, she didn't
Instead of following the road to the light rail station three kilometers away, we cut a road and walked directly to the mountains further away.
The power skateboard under her feet has obviously exceeded the speed of normal transportation tools for minors, but the girl's posture is quite stable when she steps on it.
However, the livestock areas on the outskirts of the city are always sparsely populated, and security surveillance would not pay special attention to an ordinary girl. No one actually noticed this scene.
When night gradually fell, she had already crossed a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The mountains are covered with white snow, which reflects the sunset into a colorful halo. Below the temperature difference line, there are lush and dense mountain forests. There are no traces of the arrival of any civilization. Even the most experienced
When the old hunter arrives here, there is a high possibility that he will get lost in this moist dense forest and eventually become food for wild beasts.
However, Sonia held the skateboard in her hand and stepped into the jungle without hesitation. Her movements and posture were very relaxed, as if she was walking in her own garden.
However, when she just stepped into the forest, a little mottled light appeared. It was clearly countless small creatures like fireflies, emerging from the gaps in the grass and trees. They were hovering in the dense forest.
, the shimmering light spreads to the deepest forest, just like the street lights on both sides of the road, forming a smooth road.
Sonia looked at the route pointed out by the fireflies, showing distress and even helplessness: "Charlie, have you changed places again?"
"It's Goddess Charlie!" The firefly rubbed its wings, but a frustrated girl's voice came out.
"Okay Charlie. No problem Charlie. I brought you your favorite wine cake, wait for me."
The little girl continued to move forward in the direction guided by the fireflies. There was actually no road under her feet, only slippery, cold gravel and undulating terrain.
However, she was clearly carrying a one-meter-long power skateboard and carrying a schoolbag, but her steps were as light as walking on the ground.
When the moon hung on the branches, Sonia finally came to the natural stone platform halfway up the mountain out of breath. At this time, the temperature was already very low, even the bear-human mixed-race girl who was born with cold resistance but wore thermal underwear.
I feel a bit chilly.
However, on the stone platform, that slender, delicate, and pitiful figure was just wrapped in a thin white dress. Standing under the snowy moonlit night, her delicate face full of sculptural beauty was full of expressions of love.
The alienation and disgust of this world.
Looking at Sonia who was panting, the girl in white shook her head: "No, you took three minutes longer this time than last time."
"But it's harder to leave this time! And I brought you a cake." Sonia muttered.
"This is no reason, mortal." The girl in white squatted down: "If you want to provide for your father in old age, let him have grandchildren and enjoy a family, etc., you must adapt to the power I have given you as soon as possible. I don't have much time, either.
My transaction needs to begin as soon as possible. Do you understand, mortal?"
