Harvesting Fantasies Chapter 6

After hanging up the phone, Avery smiled bitterly, thinking that it was a good thing that he had never used the water in the well to cook or wash clothes, otherwise he would probably have a serious psychological trauma now. He didn't know when the police would come, and whether there were any bodies in the well.

While thinking, Avery cut the braised beef into slices, each slice was not too thin or too thick. He prepared the beef for the noodles and put the rest in the refrigerator for later. Then he boiled the water, put the noodles in the pot, and fried three eggs while the noodles were cooking.

After the noodles were cooked, the fresh vegetables that had just been picked from the field were slightly blanched in boiling water, which not only preserved the fresh green color of the vegetables but also prevented them from being too soft. Finally, Avery took out the noodles and put them in a bowl. There was bone soup left over from a few days ago in the bowl. He scooped a spoonful of the remaining stewed beef soup into the bone soup, and then covered the noodles with green vegetables and golden fried eggs.

"It's ready. Someone come and help me serve it." Avery called from the kitchen.

Nathan heard Avery's voice and entered the kitchen. He was not afraid of the heat and took all three bowls away. Avery was stunned for a long time.

Hunter cheered when he saw the noodles and said, "I'm starving, the noodles smell so good."

Avery took off her apron and handed Hunter a plate of chili peppers: "It's not spicy. If you want it spicy, add it yourself."

Hunter nodded, scooped a large spoonful of chili into his bowl, and said, "Who were you talking to on the phone in the kitchen just now? Why did I seem to hear you mention the well again?"

"It's a call from the police." Avery explained, "They suspect there's another body in the well."

Hunter paused while eating noodles, obviously remembering the body that was fished out of the well that night. He said, "No way? There is another body? Are bodies so common nowadays? How can there be two in such a small well?"

"I don't know either." Avery shook his head.

Nathan was not affected at all. His eyes were all on the noodles in front of him. He almost finished the bowl of noodles quietly.

Avery asked him if it tasted good, he nodded heavily, and after drinking the soup, he said, "It's delicious."

As a chef, Avery was immediately satisfied. However, the beef stew this time was indeed delicious, with good meat, not too chewy, but with a sweet aftertaste of meat. The noodles were fine, each strand was distinct, and paired with refreshing vegetables, it was indeed very appealing.

After dinner, Nathan washed the dishes out of habit, while Avery followed Hunter to his own field to see how the vegetables he had grown were doing. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, Hunter was shocked. Hunter said, "That's not right. You've only been back for half a month. How come your tomato seedlings have grown so tall!"

Avery immediately thought of Nathan. Of course, he couldn't say that. He just calmly replied, "Maybe it's because I'm pretty."

Hunter: "......Then my family should grow faster."

Avery: "You are so shameless."

Hunter: "Same here."

However, after this interruption, Hunter no longer paid attention to the abnormal situation of the vegetables. Avery glanced at his vegetable garden and saw that a patch of green seedlings had emerged in the previously bare mud. Even though he didn't know much about growing vegetables, he could see that the vegetables were growing well.

Although he was very happy, Avery still tactfully reminded Nathan after returning, asking him not to let the vegetables grow too fast, otherwise it would attract other people's attention and he would have a hard time explaining it. Nathan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then continued to eat melon seeds.

On the third day, the telecommunications company sent staff to help Avery install the network cable and TV, and the home finally had wireless network available.

"I'm going to town tomorrow to buy chicken and a desktop computer." Avery asked Hunter, "Do you know where I can buy one?"

"Buy a computer?" Hunter said, "Why do you suddenly want to buy a computer?"

Avery said: "Isn't this for the future? I can sell my own agricultural products online. If that doesn't work, I can do a live broadcast." Although his savings are enough for him to live here for a long time, he still has to plan for the future.

"Okay." Hunter rubbed his head, "I'll go ask for you."

So on the market day, Avery and Hunter took Uncle Chen's car to the town early. When they arrived in the town, Avery received a call from the police, saying that they would go to his house to salvage the body today. Avery said that he was out and Nathan was the only one at home, so they could just go there directly.

Hunter sighed beside him and said that Avery was really unlucky to encounter such a bad thing as soon as he returned home.

Avery spread his hands and made a helpless expression.

When they arrived at the chicken shop, Avery saw a bunch of little yellow chickens penned together, chirping and making a lot of noise. Hunter asked, "Boss, how much are the chickens?"

"Both male and female are five dollars each." The boss said, "How many do you want?"

Avery said, "Let's have ten." He thought for a moment and said, "We want nine females and one male." We don't need too many roosters, just enough to breed the hens.

"Okay, you can choose it yourself." said the boss.

Avery nodded and reached out to grab the chickens to take a look, but as soon as he put his hand in, all the chickens seemed to be frightened and ran away, leaving Avery's hand hanging awkwardly in the air.

"Brother, what's wrong with your hand?" The boss was amused when he saw it, "Are you lucky?"

Hunter was laughing beside him, and Avery hit him on the shoulder because of his laughter.

"What's wrong with them? They're running so fast." Avery said awkwardly.

"Move aside, let me do it!" Hunter rolled up his sleeves and reached into the chicken coop again, but as soon as his hand went in, the chickens all dodged away, as if he was not reaching out his hand but the mouth of some ferocious beast.

"Hahahahaha." This time it was Avery's turn to mock Hunter mercilessly.

Hunter: "fcuk, what on earth did we touch that made the chicken so scared!"

As soon as these words came out, Avery's smile froze on his face. He instantly remembered that there seemed to be a fox that loved to eat chickens living in his house. Perhaps it was the smell of the fox that caused the chickens to react like this...

Just as Avery was thinking this, he heard Hunter shouting, "You bunch of little chickens, you dare to hide, I will catch you all!" He stretched out his hand and started playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" with the chickens.

Some of the chicks just hid, but a few seemed to be irritated by Hunter and began to peck at Hunter's fingers with their tender yellow beaks.

Hunter caught all these brave chicks and put them into the newly bought chicken cage.

It took a long time to catch the ten chicks. By the time Hunter was done, he was exhausted. He said that he had never seen such difficult chickens in his life.

Avery said: "Then you wait here for me, I'll go buy the computer first."

"Let's go together." Hunter stood up with the chicken in his hand and said, "I'm not that weak."

Avery said, "Then let me carry the chicken."

Hunter handed the chicken cage to Avery. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the chickens Hunter chose were not pure yellow, but pure yellow with a little black fluff, which looked quite cute.

After choosing a computer in town, it was almost time to go back to the village.

On the way back, Avery received a call from the police, who said that another body was found in his well. The bodies of the man and woman were very strange. The woman's body had turned into bones, but it floated on the water. The man's body was well preserved, but it had completely sunk to the bottom of the well, and it was said that it was covered with black hair.

The body was just salvaged, and because it was Avery who provided the clue, the police meant that they would have to question him carefully after he returned. If this happened on a normal day, Avery would definitely not be able to clear the suspicion, but both the well and the body inside were so weird and scary, so the police did not handle it according to common sense.

Avery was holding his chirping little chicken, but the dream he had that afternoon came to his mind. Could that dream be the first scene of the murder? But how did the man die? And the phone call from the woman who claimed to be Fu Ziying...

Seeing Avery's serious expression, Hunter asked him what had happened.

Avery told Hunter about her dream and the phone call she received from the police. Hunter was stunned after hearing it: "No way? Then she avenged herself and called the police at the same time... Isn't that so inspiring?!"

Avery: "......" If you think about it carefully, it is quite inspiring. She is a very hardworking female ghost.

Hunter: "Much better than us."

Avery showed an expression of shame. There were probably not many people who would take revenge on themselves if they were killed by others.

With awe for the ghost lady, Avery returned to the old house. The policeman saw him carrying a cage of chickens off the truck and said, "You are so careless. Aren't you afraid of two dead people at home?"

"I'm scared." Avery said honestly, "Isn't it just buying some chickens to make the yard more lively?"

Police: "You still expect the chicken to help you guard your house?"

Avery: "You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?" He made a joke, put the chicken in his hand into the chicken coop, and turned to ask the police what happened to the male corpse in the well.
