The road, once filled with the shouts of children, is now only marked by a series of donkey hoofprints of varying depths.

Wu Hua and Tengteng were having a great time when they suddenly appeared in the space.

The beast and the vine stared intently at Qin Luo, as if questioning him.

Qin Luo tapped Wu Hua on the head and patted Tengteng's vines.

"Even the donkey-hide gelatin can sense something's wrong, and you two are still playing like complete idiots!"

Wu Hua and Tengteng turned to look at Ejiao, who hurriedly nodded towards the donkey's head.

Although it has developed intelligence, it is still far from being able to perfectly express its meaning.

Qin Luo could only sense its panic and fear, but didn't understand what it was trying to say.

Wu Hua walked up to Ejiao, placed her small hand on Ejiao's forehead, and felt it!

He then stared blankly at the object, muttering to himself, "It's a 'wei' (pronounced with a fourth tone), it shouldn't be like this!"

Qin Luo thought she had seen something scary, so she asked, "What's wrong? Is there something frightening?"

Wu Hua shook her little head and told her about the scene she had seen.

"It's a Weizi. Logically, it only appears when people pray for rain. There aren't even any people here, so why would it be asking for such heavy rain?"

Qin Luo was somewhat confused by what it said.

"So, is it the government that's asking for it, or the people?"

Seeing that she didn't understand, Wu Hua's Little Classroom was launched again.

"The 'wei' closely resembles a long-tailed ape. It was originally just an ordinary beast. In ancient times, humans discovered that it would make curious movements when it rained. Thus, it was regarded by the ancients as a symbol of rain and became the rain god!"

Qin Luo clicked his tongue: "This rain god has it too easy. But since it's already the rain god, why does it still need to ask for rain?"

"Because the beast that truly controls clouds and rain is Ji Meng, it is merely a newcomer nurtured by humans, which is why it asks for rain. But the Heavenly Way will surely grant its request for rain!"

Why?

"Because the Heavenly Dao is very busy, it is in charge of all living things in this world, and there are always times when it cannot attend to them. Since the Qi is something that humans believe in, the Heavenly Dao naturally has more trust in it!"

"So that's how it is! It's like a messenger, granted certain authority by the Heavenly Dao to help watch over this world?"

"Yes! But this monkey is clearly acting strangely; it looks like it's about to turn back into a normal ape!"

Qin Luo seemed taken aback: "What? You can return this?"

Wu Hua gave her a meaningful look for a few seconds.

"What do you think! Actually, it's similar to the Earth God. Without a physical body and without faith, it will perish. It has a physical body, so without faith, it will naturally revert to its original form!"

"Doesn't Heaven care about this?"

"How can we manage it? Human hearts are the most uncontrollable thing. Besides, it has been said that Heaven is very busy. There are countless creatures in this world. Why would Heaven bother to deal with them?"

After Wu Hua finished speaking, Qin Luo deeply understood the hardships of being an animal.

Whether it's before the apocalypse, during the apocalypse, or in this ancient era...

Oxen and horses are the most miserable; when nothing happens, you're the best employee.

If problems arise, you'll face the three-step process of dismissal, termination, and resignation, and you'll still have to deal with the situation yourself!

While feeling sorry for Wei, Qin Luo couldn't help but worry.

"So what stage is it in now? If the rain keeps pouring down outside, there might be a flood!"

Wu Hua is also worried about this.

"I don't know either. I don't know if it was done on purpose or if it just wanted to have some fun before turning back!"

Is there any difference?

"Of course, if it's just for fun, the rain will stop by tomorrow at the latest. But if it's intentional and harms the creatures here, it will surely be judged by the Heavenly Dao!"

Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat: "Will I die?"

"Yes, and it will be reduced to ashes!"

Qin Luo remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Wu Hua, knowing her kind heart, took her hand and comforted her.

"Let's go out and take a look when it's light tomorrow. If the rain hasn't stopped yet, we'll go find it!"

After it finished speaking, Qin Luo picked it up and kissed it.

"How could any living being in this world be so lucky to meet someone as kind as you, Dang Kang!"

The compliment made Wu Hua blush instantly, her face turning bright red.

"I'm not as good as you say!"

Qin Luo showered its little face with kisses.

"Hello, you're the best! No beast can compare to you!"

Wu Hua giggled as she was kissed.

"Oh dear! Okay, Luo Luo, I'm so embarrassed!"

Seeing that it was genuinely embarrassed, Qin Luo put it down.

Help it take off its raincoat so it can play with Tengteng, and then help Ejiao take off its straw raincoat.

Wu Hua and Teng Teng turned to look at the small buds of the Bodhi tree and the little bird eggs.

Just as Qin Luo finished putting away the raincoat containing the donkey-hide gelatin, he heard mournful cries coming from the herd of wild buffalo!

She rushed over to check and saw the bison huddled together, even kicking something with their hooves.

Qin Luo's first thought was that the cow was about to give birth, so he quickly called Tengteng and Wu Hua over.

They fenced off a new area and moved the cow there.

In her understanding, bison herds are very united, which is why the pregnant cows were not separated.

Unexpectedly, they were being bullied, so Qin Luo put all seven cows together.

Qin Luo decided that after delivering the calf, he should kill one of the remaining bulls as a warning to others.

Wu Hua raised her hands in agreement when she heard her idea.

She was even willing to help her deliver a cow's calf, because since the cows were for food, Qin Luo had never given them the water from her spatial stream.

They were fed river water that they collected, except for the grass from the space they ate on the first day they arrived.

The food we feed them is all cut from outside by Teng Teng; naturally, we can't let Wu Hua help with energy during production.

But she could still lend a hand. Qin Luo had no experience in midwifery, so she could only follow the instructions in the book.

First, Wu Hua was asked to find clean cotton cloth, while he went to find disinfectant, scissors, and other tools. He also boiled hot water in case of emergency.

At this moment, the space, like the outside world, is in darkness.

Tengteng hung all the luminous pearls from the storeroom above the cattle pen, making the surrounding area brightly lit!

Unsurprisingly, he received praise from both Qin Luo and Wu Hua!

The cow's deep, panting breaths echoed in the quiet space.

Its eyes held both unease and the unwavering determination of someone about to become a mother.

Qin Luo was almost reluctant to eat them, but Wu Hua showed no reaction whatsoever.

Even its words of encouragement to the cows sounded particularly chilling.

"Don't worry, Mother Cow. After you give birth to your calf, we'll go and get revenge for you. Tell me which cow kicked you, and I'll slaughter it and make beef jerky!"

Qin Luo was afraid that the cow would be upset by its words, so he gently stroked the cow's body.

But since I couldn't imbue her with superpowers, I could only offer her comfort and encouragement in the most basic way.

"Niu Niu, you have to do your best! If you give birth, I'll kick your cow dung and make you beef jerky. If you don't give birth, you'll turn into beef jerky!"

Perhaps provoked by her and Wu Hua, the cow's labor pains intensified, and she howled even more pitifully!

Qin Luo began directing Wu Hua and Tengteng to prepare.

"Quickly, quickly, do it according to the book. Wu Hua, you stroke its bull head to comfort it, and Tengteng, you cheer it on from the side!"

Then she stood by with scissors, thinking that if the baby couldn't be born naturally, she would have to do it herself...
