Chapter 120: Keeping a panda as a pet is also an option (added)

Sensing its host's emotions, the system reluctantly took out its system tablet and started tapping away.

"Host, I just checked. There was a human trafficker in a production team near Qishui Brigade. Although the child was not lost and the trafficker was almost beaten to death, several brigades in the vicinity are quite scared. Wei Zhongping went to the county to ask his old comrade-in-arms for a few puppies to bring back. After raising them, they are used to protect the children in the village. They usually accompany the children to the mountain to cut pig feed."

"I see." Bai Nuo nodded, feeling that her captain uncle's decision was particularly wise.

Children are the future of the country and should be protected. Even people from the previous life, except for those thugs who have long lost their humanity, love the little ones in the base. Even if they encounter unfamiliar little ones outside, they will escort them back to the base and send them to the orphanage for care.

"So, we can also find some puppies to raise." There's really no need to go all the way into the mountains to catch someone else's puppies.

Bai Nuo pouted: "I still think the ones in the mountains are more imposing."

Well, I can't persuade them, I simply can't!

The system just lies flat and does whatever it wants. Anyway, there's no animal protection law in this day and age. Even pandas weren't listed as a Class I protected wild animal until 1988, and in 1992, the giant panda officially became China's "national treasure." It should be similar in this parallel universe.

So even if its owner were to capture a panda cub and raise it, there probably wouldn't be anyone to care... right?

"Go call your friends over, I'll give you some candy." Bai Nuo pulled a handful of hard fruit candies from her small handbag.

These candies were bought casually during her last trip to the county town. They are one of the common currencies in the countryside, and they are even cheaper than fruit candies in Shanghai. The taste isn't very good, but they are considered a good thing in the countryside, so she prepared some.

Although I still have quite a few fruit candies from Shanghai, the good fruit candies made by the large sugar factories in Shanghai do taste much better than those made in this small county. It's more appropriate to just give out the local ordinary hard candies.

Bai Nuo didn't know any of these kids, let alone their parents' character. If they turned on her because of a piece of candy, it would be too much trouble.

If it were just Xiaohuzi alone, he would be willing to give her not only a small piece of fruit candy, but even a White Rabbit candy, because his grandparents are so good to him.

Little Tiger happily turned to call his friends over, then quickly turned to Bai Nuo and whispered, "Sister Bai, just give each of us a sweet treat. Grandma said we're family, so we should help each other and not be extravagant."

The little guy spoke with emotion, but his tongue still had a strong babyish smell, which was very cute. In just one sentence, he made it clear that Bai Nuo was one of his own, which showed that he must have heard his grandma talk about him a lot at home.

Bai Nuo smiled and rubbed the little guy's head, then magically took out a White Rabbit candy and bent down to stuff it into the little guy's pocket.

"Okay, I'll remember this. This is for Little Tiger alone, secretly."

"Huh!" Little Tiger's eyes widened in surprise. He grabbed his little pocket and grinned at Bai Nuo, showing off his big and small teeth. "Thank you, sister. But this is the second time I've eaten this candy from you. My aunt said it was from you yesterday too."

Bai Nuo thought for a moment, then remembered that she had left a bunch of White Rabbit candies on the table when she went to the team leader's house to exchange seeds after work yesterday, but...

"You little rascal, you call Sister Wei Jia 'Auntie,' so why do you call me 'Sister'?" Bai Nuo said in an unreasonable tone, reaching out to pinch the little guy's round little face. And you have to admit, it felt really nice!

Little Tiger knew the answer to this question. He looked at Bai Nuo excitedly and answered loudly without hesitation, "Because older sister is prettier."

"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right, that's exactly it!" Bai Nuo sat on the grass mound, laughing heartily, not feeling embarrassed at all.

At this moment, the other little ones also ran over.

Bai Nuo met several of his friends through Xiao Hu Zi. They were all children from the village, including two eggs, three kids, and one named Hua Hua.

These names... are really so rural!

Bai Nuo gave each child a piece of fruit candy, not many, and watched them eat it on the spot. In order to prevent the children from having any accidents from eating candy, Bai Nuo let them sit and play for a while, and only let them continue to cut pig feed after making sure they had finished the candy in their mouths. He then led Hei Feng and the others towards the reed marshes.

A large reed bed connects to the western mountain of the village, next to a lake. It is said that many people go there to fish, and in winter, some people even come to fish by breaking the ice. On weekdays, most people go to the small river that connects to the lake to catch fish, wash clothes, or bathe, as long as they avoid the deep water areas.

"Uncle Black Wind, just take them to play in this area, don't go any further in, okay? I'm going in to check. If you get anxious, just call me, I can hear you, don't worry, okay?"

Bai Nuo led Hei Feng and the others to an open space in front of a reed bed. She was worried that if they went any further, the horses might step into the river. The reeds were dense, and many of them were growing in the water, which would make it difficult to see the ground. If they stepped in, they could easily fall into the water, and she would have to go into the water to retrieve the horses.

"How magnificent!"

Black Wind responded, then turned and led his son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and the little mare they had borrowed to graze in the nearby open space.
