It was rather curious.
That morning, as soon as Xu Yang opened the courtyard gate, outside there were seven or eight Sika Deer staring at him.
By the look of their fur and physique, these were all pure wild Sika Deer, a First Level national protected species.
When Xiao Hua was around, they seemed to vanish.
As soon as Xiao Hua went to the back hill, these guys came back.
The most robust of the deer was called Little Mei Hua, whom Xu Yang had rescued before.
This one was smart, lying down by the farm whenever it got hurt, as if it knew that the humans inside would save it.
"Oh, it's you guys, long time no see."
The moment Xu Yang saw the Sika Deer, his spirits instantly lifted.
He was feeling somewhat sleepy, but now he wasn't sleepy at all.
He went to the kitchen to check, and there were plenty of fresh vegetables and some fruits.
Xu Yang took out some carrots and Gem Corn.
