I build an oasis in the desert

Chapter 3

 After Mu Xueer got a general understanding of this future world through the Internet, the sky outside had already darkened.

Listening to the constant urging from her abdomen, she had to stand up from the sofa and go downstairs to look for food.

After stepping down the stairs, the living room is now not as chaotic as when she first came back to see it. Xiao Wu has used her time upstairs to tidy up and clean the bottom.

"It's really convenient!" Mu Xue'er sighed sincerely after glancing at Xiao Wu, who had automatically shut down and parked in the corner after cleaning up.

"..." It was just that after she opened the refrigerator door, who was going downstairs for food, Mu Xue'er couldn't help but darken her eyes when she looked at the row of drinking water and nutritional supplements of various flavors, even the curvature of the originally upturned mouth. It also gradually disappeared at this moment.

Yes, in the past 18 years, the original owner, except when her mother was still alive at the beginning, every time the imperial capital sent supplies, there would be ingredients other than nutritional supplements, but then the original owner's mother passed away, and the ingredients sent became less and less. However, there are more and more nutritional supplements. The original owner never argues. Instead, he thinks that the Mu family in the imperial capital is in financial difficulties. Then she hardly saves all of the cactus fruit every year and sends them to the imperial capital. After all, she thinks that they are sold there. The price is higher.

The original owner was kind-hearted and always thought that he had helped his father, but he never thought that maybe those things just happened to be the free choice for the Emperor Dumu's family to send off guests every year.

And what she gets every year is not more because of this move, but she is willing to give it every year, which can be said to be very stupid.

She took out a tube of fruit-flavored nutrients and drank it. Mu Xueer smiled helplessly at the reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window. In the past, the original owner was happy, but starting this year, she doesn't plan to give it any more.

After replenishing the energy, Mu Xue'er walked slowly to the highest point of the circular building.

Standing on the roof, Mu Xueer looked at the peaceful and quiet night outside through the transparent and solid dome above, and then asked the housekeeper to open the protective cover.

With a slight friction sound, the protective cover above Mu Xue'er slowly rose.

And at the moment when the protective cover rose, an evening wind mixed with coldness swept past her in an instant.

After pulling her clothes, Mu Xueer walked over to the front guardrail without caring. After all, it was still early. Although the night temperature in the desert would drop, she could still bear the temperature at this time.

In the Dragon Skull Desert, currently the tallest building here is the one under her feet. Since there are no other tall buildings around, Mu Xue'er standing here has a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery at a glance.

At the back of the house is the hundred-acre cactus forest that Mu Xueer's mother spent a lot of money to plant when she first came. Because of thousands of years of evolution, these cacti are not as gentle as they used to be. The thorns all over the body are also slender and sharp to terrifying.

Moreover, these cacti are also very territorial, and only ten cacti can be planted in one acre of sandy land, so she only has a thousand cacti in this hundred acres of thorn forest.

I still remember that in the past, the original owner's mother planted cacti around the house. Because they were new to the house, this was the second protection her mother set up for their safety. Unfortunately, the original owner's mother passed away later. The ability to remove the surrounding cactus trees and give them to the residents who live around them means that they all have other sources of income.

You must know that after this mutant cactus is shipped and planted, the price of each cactus is not cheap, and the fruit produced by a cactus tree every year can also get a lot of money after selling it, plus the original owner. For the benefit of their wide opening, the more than 20 families who now live on the edge have some wealth in each family.

But now it seems that her generosity has not been appreciated by those people.

After seeing the thorn forest and looking ahead, there is nothing but a row of unopened protective fences, and on the right is the largest natural lake in this desert, where Mu Xueer's daily water is taken.

There are also fences around the lake. At that time, there were no residents living outside, so the row connecting the outside and the inner fence was built around the back, and the inner row was originally designed to prevent desert beasts from destroying the water source. And pretend, although the original owner has hardly seen alien beasts in the desert in recent years.

There is still a small gate on the fence, which the original owner kindly left for the nearby residents to fetch water, but starting tonight, all this will change.

She would not take back what the original owner had given before, but she planned to take back some open powers one by one.

After all, this desert belongs to her, and the surrounding residents did not live here from the beginning. Most of them were driven out of the city because of some mistakes in the city. In a word, they are willing to give them a place to stay here, and even invested in building a fence to ensure their safety because of the original owner's words.

Afterwards, they were considered to be one of the few people of the same kind that the original owner had seen since the record. Perhaps it was because of this that she was so nice to them.

After getting a general understanding of the surrounding environment, the first thing Mu Xueer did at this moment was to reopen the fence protection that the original owner had closed before.

"Housekeeper, the protective fence is on alert level 3." After rubbing her thumb on the blue halo of her wrist, Mu Xueer sighed and said to the housekeeper.

"The three-level alert is on." As the butler's mechanical voice fell, a beeping sound suddenly sounded from the fence in front of the house. As the beeping sound escalated, a blue electric light visible to the naked eye quickly climbed from the bottom of the fence to On top, then the electric light disappeared, and the fence was calm again.

Starting today, if someone can't enter the gate without her permission, even climbing over the fence will not work. After all, the current above is not a decoration.

Although the protective fence area is very large, in this desert where the sun is scorching every day, she never lacks sunlight energy.

"This is not in vain for the protective net that Fisher's mother spent a lot of money to build for her." Seeing that the protection was completed, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Mu Xueer's mouth.

It's just that her smile didn't last long, and the next second the Internet housekeeper's words made her smile freeze on her face.

The network steward just confirmed one thing. The number of damaged and missing protective fences is nearly a hundred dollars. If they are all repaired, it will be a lot of credit.

Although the intact fence does not hinder the use, if the fence that can be damaged and disappeared is not replaced, it will always be a safety hazard.

When Mu Xueer was calculating how many credits it would take to fill up the fence, every head of the family who lived in the surrounding area received a message that the fence was turned on again. Please inform all members of the family to be safe.

After this news was announced, some people were happy and some were sad.

The three days passed very quickly when Mu Xueer absorbed the knowledge of this world.

In the early morning, not long after it was dawn, Mu Xueer heard the news that the patrolman was waiting at the door.

After the remote control opened the door for her, Mu Xueer changed into black and solemn clothes and walked out, because today was the day when Qin's mother's ashes came back.

"Miss Mu, please condolences." The mechanical patrol officer handed her a silver urn with a solemn expression.

"Thank you."

"This is what we should do. Goodbye Miss Mu."

"Goodbye."

After the mechanical patrol officer left, Mu Xueer carried Qin Ma's box and walked to the backyard, where the original owner's mother was once buried, but now, Qin Ma The tombstone will also stand there.

Mu Xueer did not inform others about Qin's burial, and she and the family robot completed all the procedures.

After the simple funeral, Mu Xueer received a message from her father in the imperial capital as soon as she returned to her room. Looking back, the original owner hadn't received a message from her father in person for many years, which was really rare.

After the information was opened, the content inside made Mu Xueer's smile deepen, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"I really can't wait." Looking at the content above, Mu Xue'er sneered and said that before her eighteenth birthday had passed a month, her father couldn't help but sent her a message to make her stand on her own.

The general meaning is that the Mu family has raised her for 18 years, and now she is an adult. From now on, the Mu family will no longer send supplies, and even the monthly pocket money will be cut off. To put it simply, she will start to support herself. , she will not care about what kind of life the Mu family has in the future, and in the same way, she can also be exempted from the obligations of the children of the Mu family.

"What a good father." Mu Xue'er checked the monthly income and balance, and after confirming the amount, she sent a screenshot to the Mu family head without hesitation, and added the text, "I thought that in ten When I was 12 years old, I became independent."

Mu Patriarch, who was sitting in the office processing documents, looked at the screenshots and messages sent by the eldest daughter, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the eldest daughter's everything was handled by the current wife. , Although he didn't like this daughter, he never thought to be so harsh on her.

After the age of ten, Mu Xueer's account no longer has any records of money made by the Mu family. Even the supplies sent each time are extremely simple nutritional supplements, and if he is not mistaken about the clothes he wears, most of them are It was the little daughter who wore unwanted clothes.

"I'll make up for your pocket money over the years." Thinking of the large number of cactus fruits that Mu Xue'er sent each year, and what he had said before, the Mu family only felt that his old face had been slapped several times.

It doesn't matter if you don't give people pocket money every year, Mu Xueer's only income is sent to the imperial capital, and she also threatened that she is eighteen, can be independent, and the family's support will be cut off. Thinking of this old face is hot, This is going to spread out, and he doesn't know how many people will laugh at the head of the Mu family.

"No need, since I was able to live on my own ten years ago, I can do it now. I just hope my father remembers what he said today." Mu Xueer looked at the one million credit points suddenly added to her account and smiled. After laughing, he turned it back directly.

"What?" Mu Patriarch looked at the money transferred back by his eldest daughter, his eyes full of surprise. He still remembered how happy he was when he contacted her and couldn't wait to send him a video, but today's Mu Xue'er gave him a I feel like I don't want to have anything to do with him at all, and even the video didn't come back after the two sent several messages back and forth.

"Since the Mu Family Master doesn't want to have anything to do with me, then from now on, I will have nothing to do with the Mu Family. No matter how well you live, I won't be jealous, and what kind of life I live will have nothing to do with you." Mu Xue'er used The voice converted it into text and sent it out.

After receiving this message, the Mu family fell into silence, while Mu Xueer looked at the picture in front of her with an inexplicable expression.

On the huge screen in front of her, the news of the Mu family happily shopping and shopping came into view, the mother was kind and the son was filial, and the picture was warm.

It was only when she read all the news about the Mu family that she found that the news about the original owner and the original owner's mother had never appeared on the Internet, and their existence had been wiped out by the Mu family. There is also a matter of a daughter outside, and the total number of people in the imperial capital who know about this matter is probably no more than two digits.

But it's okay, the Mu family wants to cut off all contact with her, which is quite in line with her heart, but before that, there is one thing she needs to mention.

Regarding the death of the original owner, she did not think it was an accident.
