The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 165: Simple-Minded

Zhang Lei heard that Miao Zhong was bitten and gasped: "Did the poisoning succeed? Can it kill the cow?"

"I don’t know, anyway, the powder has been spread. Even if they don’t die, it should at least make these cows faint!"

"As long as the cows’ condition worsens, it’s fine. We just need to get that annoying girl out of here sooner; otherwise, she’ll mess everything up eventually."

From the other end, Village Chief Miao, seeing Zhang Lei hadn’t responded, angrily shouted: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take Miao Zhong to the village doctor! Do you really think Master Wu can heal him?"

"Alright, alright, Village Chief Miao, I’ll go right away."

Zhang Lei quickly hung up the phone and dashed away from the bushes.

He didn’t notice there was a Steamed Bun Frog lying near the bushes, blending in like a stone.

Meanwhile, Xu Ying, through the eavesdropper, heard the entire conversation, her face full of shock. She hadn’t anticipated that sending out the Frog Team would yield such big results, turning the tables completely.

Nor did she expect Village Chief Miao, who seemed so honest and humble, to have a double face.

Thinking about how the village chief looked so modest and simple today, and how the villagers praised him, Xu Ying shook her head—what an actor!

She fiddled with the software on her phone for a bit, saving the audio recording of the eavesdropped conversation.

Then, after receiving the alert from the Steamed Bun Frog that the watcher had left, Xu Ying quickly grabbed her backpack, left the old house, and walked swiftly toward the old cowshed.

Village Chief Miao said the rabbit bit Miao Zhong, which made Xu Ying very worried about the two desert cottontail rabbits. She didn’t know if that mischievous guy Miao Zhong would kick the bunnies in anger.

Xu Ying rushed down the road hastily, but didn’t expect to meet two desert cottontail rabbits on the way.

"Are you guys okay?"

Xu Ying hurriedly squatted down to check the rabbits for any injuries.

The cottontail rabbit shook its head, its ears wiggling: [Stationmaster, we’re okay, but the two cows in the old cowshed seem to be in trouble!] 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[That sneaky guy scattered white powder in the old cowshed. We bit his ankle but it didn’t stop him.]

[But one of those cows is surprisingly smart like us—it even kicked him to cover for us!]

Hearing the rabbit’s words, Xu Ying felt much more relieved, touched by these cooperative little animals. It seemed the cow brothers were helpful too.

[But we hid the bag he used for the powder!]

As the saying goes, "a crafty rabbit has three burrows," rabbits are very clever, with a memory comparable to an 8-10 year old child, and social intelligence equivalent to a 6.7-year-old.

Xu Ying’s heart softened upon hearing the two rabbits report their achievements, and she patted their heads. "Well done, you two! I’ll go check it out now!"

[It’s no trouble, Miss Director, you’re working hard along with us!]

They worried about the deteriorating oasis environment, feeling powerless seeing their worsening habitat and more companions getting sick.

Removing the action camera from the rabbits, Xu Ying quickly walked towards the old cowshed.

She shined her flashlight into the old cowshed but didn’t see the two cows!

Xu Ying’s heart skipped a beat, and then she heard a weak "moo~" from behind.

Xu Ying clutched her chest, almost letting out a scream.

Turning around, she saw the two cows had already walked outside the cowshed!

However, they seemed afraid to stray far from the shed, just wandering around nearby.

[Stationmaster, you finally came!] Big Black, the lead cow, let out a pitiful "moo."

Xu Ying comfortingly patted its head, "Why did you come outside the cowshed?"

[That scoundrel who sneaked into the shed fled in such a hurry that the shed wasn’t locked.]

Big Black was exhausted tonight and could finally rest on the ground.

[You told us when you left during the day to be wary of strangers. I gathered all my strength and gave that scoundrel a good kick.]

[You also said not to eat things given by strangers. That scoundrel scattered lots of strange-smelling powder in the shed, so I got out quickly.]

Hearing Big Black’s words, Xu Ying felt a comforting sense of "good child" satisfaction in her heart.

The cow behind Big Black, with big eyes, just mooed meaninglessly at Xu Ying.

Big Black, apparently annoyed by the cow behind it, swatted its head with its tail: [My little brother here plowed his brains silly, he’s dumb and doesn’t understand cow talk.]

[I kicked him several times and exerted a lot of effort to push him out of the cowshed.]

The words carried a sense of frustration and helplessness like "hating iron for not becoming steel."

Xu Ying cracked a smile.

After dealing with animals for so long, she was occasionally still moved by interactions and companionship with them.

They are indeed adorable, with each animal having its own unique charm!

Xu Ying found the hidden bag of white powder in the cowshed and, using tweezers, sealed it in a bag.

The two cows hadn’t stayed long in the powdered pen, so they weren’t too affected.

Seeing these two obedient cows, Xu Ying decided to move them to the backyard of the old house, letting them roam there. With Big Brother leading Little Brother, there should be no mishaps, and she could sleep more soundly.

After returning, Xu Ying didn’t forget to reward the hard-working Steamed Bun Frog from the night.

Xu Ying took a small bottle from her backpack, with wriggling termites inside: "Here, have some snacks to replenish energy!"

"These are fresh termites I brought from elsewhere, unpolluted."

The Steamed Bun Frogs, upon hearing this, were thrilled—they hadn’t eaten anything unpolluted in ages. Seeing the bottle of termites, they all gathered around Xu Ying, forming a circle, waiting to be fed.

Xu Ying, seeing these bun-like frogs with their mouths wide open waiting to be fed, was charmed. She opened the small bottles, pouring the termites onto the ground.

Honestly, as the numerous termites crawled out of the bottle, she was a bit frightened.

However, the Steamed Bun Frogs quickly shot out their tongues, rolling the termites into their mouths.

The Steamed Bun Frogs devoured the termites ravenously, making short work of them.

They smacked their lips.

[Wow, it’s been ages since I’ve tasted such delicious termites!]

[So fragrant, sweet, and juicy—just too good!]

[If I could eat this delicacy every day, I’d be willing to be the stationmaster’s informant every day!]

Hearing the Steamed Bun Frogs describe the termites’ flavor, Xu Ying got goosebumps all over.

But upon hearing the frogs enjoyed the termites she brought from the Desert Rescue Station, Xu Ying’s eyes lit up—Steamed Bun Frogs could also become candidates for the anti-termite squad!
