Jiang Jiang, who was being carried away, had her mouth covered, as Cheng Qingyan was afraid that she would utter some shocking words.

That strange wooden carving, if placed in her room, would probably wake her up at night. We can't let Jiang Jiang do whatever she wants.

After all, she's the one who'll have nightmares at night, and besides, if she scares Ye Lingyu, she's doomed.

Cheng Qingyan took Jiang Jiang to a place far away from Shen Ziyu before removing her from her mouth.

After looking around to make sure no one was around, he whispered to Jiang Jiang, "Jiang Jiang, what makes you think the wood carving your father likes is the style you bought? Can your father not have it?"

Don't want it? Impossible, it doesn't exist.

Although Jiang Jiang didn't know why Cheng Qingyan was unwilling to accept it, she still felt that she had to make Cheng Qingyan accept the wood carving.

Jiang Jiang's round face immediately scrunched up as she tentatively asked Cheng Qingyan, "Father, don't you like it?"

"Doesn't Mother like it either?"

Seeing the disappointment and grievance in Jiang Jiang's expression, Cheng Qingyan suddenly felt very guilty.

This child, even though it's rare for her to go shopping, still thought of herself and bought herself a wood carving as a gift. Although the shape of the wood carving is rather questionable, it's still Jiang Jiang's thoughtful gesture.

Jiang Jiang's pure and innocent heart towards her, she deserves to die, how could she turn away Jiang Jiang's filial piety?

Although the wood carving wasn't exactly beautiful, it was still a token of the child's affection for her, and she shouldn't refuse it.

Cheng Qingyan suddenly put on a happy smile and said to Jiang Jiang with anticipation, "Jiang Jiang is so great, how could Daddy not like her~"

"Father loves Jiangjiang the most, and he really likes the gifts Jiangjiang sent. Come on, let's go get the wood carvings!"

Jiang Jiang also flashed a big, satisfied smile and nodded emphatically: "Yes! Moving the wood carving~ to put it in Father and Mother's room~"

Cheng Qingyan, who was walking along happily, had an indescribable expression on her face.

That wooden carving in her room would really scare her...

Imagine, if you get up to pee in the middle of the night or at night, and suddenly see that strange wooden carving with its big and small eyes staring at you, baring its teeth and claws, how many times would you be scared away from the urge to pee and the sleepiness?

Wanting to discuss something with Jiang Jiang, Cheng Qingyan bent down and said, "Jiang Jiang, can your father make a deal with you?"

Jiang Jiang turned to look at her, her face full of confusion: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Qingyan hesitated before speaking, "You gave that wooden carving to Father and Mother, and they were very happy. But, Father, could you please not put that wooden carving in the bedroom?"

Then she explained, "It's not because Dad and Mom don't like it; it's just that Dad gets a little scared at night if something is suddenly put in the bedroom..."

"It's really just because Daddy was a tiny, tiny bit scared! That's all..."

As she spoke, Cheng Qingyan made a pinching motion with her right index finger and thumb, with only a few millimeters between them.

Her fear was only a few millimeters.

Jiang Jiang tilted her head to look at her, a smile appearing on her face: "Father, you can put it in the house like a wooden stake, you don't necessarily have to put it by the bed."

"Jiangjiang bought this wood carving not because she liked its shape, but because she kept asking me to buy it!"

Hearing this, Cheng Qingyan got goosebumps. A strange wooden carving, it actually spoke? And it even told Jiang Jiang to buy it?

That's terrifying!

"Jiangjiang, are you sure it's talking to you and telling you to buy her back?"

"Mmm~ Yes, that's right~"

"Did that wooden carving really speak?"

"I already said it~"

"..." Why does it feel so creepy!

It's not that Cheng Qingyan doubts Jiang Jiang; after all, Jiang Jiang herself isn't a person.

It was just too bizarre that this piece of wood could speak; this was also the first time Jiang Jiang had told her that it could hear objects other than humans.

sound.

Just to be on the safe side, Cheng Qingyan asked Jiang Jiang again solemnly, "Jiang Jiang, can you really hear the wood talking?"

Jiang Jiang didn't understand why Cheng Qingyan suddenly became so serious, fiddling with his fingers as if he had done something wrong.

As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Qingyan: "Father... I can't hear it either, but I can sense that it needs me to bring it back."

"I could sense that it didn't want to stay there. The wood had a very welcoming feel to it, so Jiangjiang thought Father might like it, which is why she bought it to give to him..."

Thank goodness, she didn't speak directly, otherwise she would have burned the wood; otherwise, it would have been too frightening.

Jiang Jiang is a ginseng spirit, so it's not surprising that he can sense plants.

After all, Jiangjiang has become a spirit, so it seems plausible that she can sense the feelings of the plants in this world. However, this ability to sense things must not be revealed to others, otherwise not only Jiangjiang, but all of them will be in danger.

Possessing a treasure is a crime; this matter must be kept secret.

Cheng Qingyan rubbed Jiangjiang's head: "Jiangjiang, be good. You must never let anyone know that you can sense the trees crying for help, understand?"

"But we can't tell Mother either?"

"You can't tell anyone except your father, including your mother, grandmother, Uncle Shen, Chu Ying, Aunt Ruan and the like."

Jiangjiang didn't understand, but thankfully she was obedient.

"Yes, Jiangjiang won't tell anyone except Father. Jiangjiang promises!"

Cheng Qingyan held up her little finger: "Come on, let's pinky swear!"

Jiang Jiang grinned and held out her finger: "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years~"

When Cheng Qingyan returned with Jiang Jiang, Shen Ziyu had already unloaded most of the things.

The wood carving was still placed in Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu's room, which was Ye Lingyu's decision.

Cheng Qingyan brought Jiang Jiang back to the house, where Ye Lingyu was wiping the wood carvings clean.

Seeing Cheng Qingyan return with Jiang Jiang, she tossed a rag to Cheng Qingyan: "Come help me clean it up, it's a gift from Jiang Jiang!"

Cheng Qingyan pulled Ye Lingyu aside: "Wife, don't be in a hurry, I have something important to tell you."

After saying that, he pulled Ye Lingyu and the wooden carving together and flashed into the space. The best way to prevent others from eavesdropping was to discuss things in the space.

As soon as Jiang Jiang entered the space, she swayed her body and head, and ginseng leaves unfurled on her head.

Seeing Cheng Qingyan's solemn and serious expression, Ye Lingyu also composed herself, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Qingyan brought this wood carving with him when he entered the space.

Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn't been in the space for a while. Recently, Cheng Qingyan has been busy with things in the space on her own, and neither she nor Jiang Jiang have been able to help.

The space seemed to have stopped expanding; the planted grains and other crops had ripened, and the fruit hung from the branches.
