101. Stonebreaker No. 3 retired

"Oh, this is so good. This leg has tortured me for half of my life. Thank you so much, Xiao Chen!" Grandma Zhao touched the leg and thanked Xiao Chen excitedly. Xiao Chen waved her hand and said, "You are so kind to me. Take the remaining tea back and drink it. Maybe it can cure other diseases."

"This is not good." Grandma Zhao felt a little embarrassed, and Tian Xiufen smiled and said, "Just think it was Xiao Chen who respected you. That, you can eat at our house tonight. Don't go back and open the fire. It's boring to eat alone. Everyone eats together."

Xiao Chen and Nini also advised Grandma Zhao to stay for dinner, but Grandma Zhao was so kind that she agreed.

For dinner that day, Xiao Chen made a large table of sumptuous meals. Everyone was eating and chatting, and bursts of laughter and joy came from the room.

The bitter black hair ball was still squatting on the roof with hungry stomachs, with stars above her head, and a sad meow.

In the yard, Dahuang was yelling at the Black Hair Ball like chicken blood, and her attitude of "If you don't come down today, I won't leave", which made Black Hair Ball both angry and hateful.

When Grandma Zhao left, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. Xiao Chen wanted to send her back, but Grandma Zhao refused to let her go. She said, "Our two families are so close, we can get home in a few steps. What else can I send? Besides, my legs and feet are better now, just leave by yourself, don't worry."

Xiao Chen thought about it, there were only dozens of families in Xiahe Village, so there was no bad guy. Grandma Zhao was familiar with the road, and Dahuang was following her, and the home was close, so there would definitely be no accident. So he nodded and sent Grandma Zhao out of the gate, watching her disappear in the night.

The dark yellow finally left, and the black hair ball was liberated. It jumped down from the roof and landed on Xiao Chen's shoulder. It entered the house with him, and found its own bowl and ate it voraciously.

Tian Xiufen had already laid the quilt and was about to let her son and granddaughter sleep. Nini smelled the quilt and frowned immediately, complaining: "Grandma, our quilt smells so bad! There is a smell of mold!"

"This quilt has been kept in the cabinet and has not been taken out and dried. It must have smelled. Let's make do with it tonight, and grandma will take it out and dried it tomorrow." Tian Xiufen said.

It was dawn in a blink of an eye, and the sun was shining, and it was a good sun.

After the family had breakfast, Tian Xiufen started to work hard. She washed all the quilts and clothes at home, and then hung them in the yard to bask in the sun.

There are no clothes drying rods in the countryside, they are all placed on ropes to dry clothes. The colorful quilt covers and bed sheets are hung all over the yard, and Nini is playing hide-and-seek with a smile.

Xiao Chen played with Nini for a while, then left home and headed to Xiahe Coal Mine in the back mountain. He hadn't come for a long time, so he wanted to see what the situation of Stonegrave No. 3 is now.

When he arrived at the open space outside the Xiahe Coal Mine, Xiao Chen saw the 3rd stone trampler. At this time, it was quietly stopping in place, with four arms hanging down, and its body covered with green moss. There was even a bird tying on its head, with several chicks chirping inside.

Obviously, Stonegraver No. 3 has stopped working for a long time, and under the wind and sun, it has become a pile of scrap copper and iron again.

Xiao Chen walked around the 3rd of the Stone Graveler. In addition to the severe rust in some places, the overall preservation was still intact. However, Xiao Chen did not plan to repair and maintain the 3rd of the Stone Gravel, because he had just checked with his mining skills. The silver mine in the back mountain has basically been emptied by 3rd of the Stone Gravel. The remaining ones are coal, and the quantity is not large and very scattered, and there is no value for mining.

After looking at the side, there were more than a dozen silver ingots piled up there. This should be the last harvest of Stonegraver No. 3. Xiao Chen put them in the storage bag, then came to Stonegraver No. 3, climbed up its back, opened the back cover and saw the magic soul stone that was still flashing.

"Thank you, brother, your mission is completed, you can rest." Xiao Chen patted the Stone 3, then took out the Demon Soul Stone. After losing the Demon Soul Stone, the Stone 3 seemed to have lost its soul. Its steel body quickly decayed and rotted, and it completely turned into a pile of steel residues.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen walked around the Xiahe Coal Mine and wiped out all the traces in case anyone discovered that this place had been mined by humans.

After dealing with the matters of Xiahe Coal Mine, Xiao Chen returned home.

Before he could enter the yard, Nini rushed out with a black hair ball in her arms. When she saw Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, she shouted happily: "Dad, Dad, let's go fishing! I want to eat the boiled fish you made last time!"

Why was Xiao Chen willing to refuse his daughter's request? He immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

He brought his daughter to the small river outside the village again. Under the sunlight, the clear river water sparkled, as if the twinkling small lenses were shaking so that Nini couldn't open her eyes.

Xiao Chen found a cool and secluded place, moved a stone as a chair, then took out the fishing rod and hung it on the bait, and with a light swing of his hand, the bait fell into the middle of the river. Next, he waited patiently.

Nini still squatted quietly beside her, staring at the fish float intently, hoping that her father could catch a big fish this time.

Black Hair Ball was also lying next to him boredly, wondering, what's fun about fishing? How boring!

Suddenly, a black butterfly the size of a palm flew over the top of its head. The black fur ball immediately raised its head, staring at the black butterfly with both eyes, as if it had discovered something interesting, and immediately stood up and pounced on it.

How could the black butterfly be easily caught by it? It suddenly flew high and made it pounce. The black hair ball was unwilling to give up. A mere little broken bug could escape from my palm? So it used all its strength, pounced, grabbed, scratched and bitten, but it was so tired that it was panting, but it still didn't catch the black butterfly.

The black butterfly seemed to be teasing the black hair ball. Not only did it not fly away, it flew up and down around it, making the black hair ball so angry that it meowed and its beard was almost standing up.

"Hahaha, you are so stupid!" Nini looked beside her for a long time and finally couldn't help laughing, "I can catch this black butterfly in an instant, do you believe it?"

Black Hair Ball: "..." I don't believe it!

Nini said hello to Xiao Chen, and then ran home. After a while, she ran back with a dragonfly net. In front of the black hair ball, she saw the black butterfly and easily grabbed it with a swing of the net.

The black hair ball was stunned. Humans actually have such advanced tools!

Nini said to the black hairball proudly: "Do you think I'm awesome? I caught it all at once!" She reached into the dragonfly net and grabbed the butterfly, and murmured: "Dad said he wanted to protect the little animals, so I'll let you go today." After that, she let go of her hand and let go of the black butterfly.

Hurry!

On this side, Xiao Chen caught another big black fish. He held the fish and shouted at Nini: "Ni Ni, look, is this fish bigger than what we caught last time?"
Chapter completed!
