Hua Xiao was sitting at the threshold of the kitchen. Seeing Hua Shi coming over, he glared at Hua Shi fiercely, then sullenly avoided her as if she were the plague.

Hua Xiao pulled Hua Ying and shrank to another corner of the yard, watching Hua Shi's every move with vigilant eyes.

Hua Shi ignored him and went straight into the kitchen.

Behind the wooden door of the kitchen, there is a wooden basin placed on the ground, covered with a wooden board to prevent the fish from being eaten by mice hiding in corners when no one is watching late at night.

Hua Shi squatted down and lifted the wooden board covering it, "Dong——"

As soon as the wooden board was lifted, two chubby fish jumped out one after another, along the edge of the wooden basin, swinging their tails and jumping into the air.

"Bang." Hua Shi was startled, and with quick eyes and hands, he covered the board back.

"Dong dong--" The sound of fish tails hitting the wooden board came from the bottom of the wooden basin.

Hua Shi was stunned for a second, then subconsciously raised his hand and looked at the shallow spring in the palm of his hand.

The spring water from the spring is indeed useful.

Yesterday, I saw a fish that was almost dying and motionless, but after one night, it became full of life again...

Hua Xiao in the yard pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the noises coming from the kitchen, frowning slightly, as if she was worried that Hua Shi would do something weird in there.

After a while, Hua Shi came out in a hurry for some reason and went straight back to his house.

Hua Xiao pretended to be calm, but when she heard the door closing sound coming from Hua Shi's house, she stood up and looked at the closed door in surprise.

What is she doing now... Is she hiding something and eating it secretly?

Hua Xiao grabbed the corner of her clothes, but she really couldn't remember what delicious food was in the kitchen.

Li usually locks all the ingredients that can be made into food in cabinets or boxes. Apart from the daily ration of ingredients, no one knows what other good things Li has hidden.

However, before, Hua Shi would chase after Li, and after getting the key by pestering her, he would often run into the kitchen to rummage through the drawers and cabinets. When he found something delicious, he would secretly hide it and eat it himself.

Sometimes Li forgot about this and when she found something missing, she would always blame them. The one who was implicated the most was the second brother...

Hua Xiao thought about it, gritted her teeth angrily, and stared at the closed door.

Inside the small house——

Hua Shi dug out the mouse from the old and short wardrobe, which she had put in a basket and hidden in the room that day.

Two days had passed and she hadn't fed the mice...

“Squeak…”

When the bamboo weaving on top of the basket was opened, the mouse inside heard the noise and squeaked.

I don’t know if it sensed something, but the cry seemed particularly excited.

“Squeak…”

I peeked inside the narrow basket, but the space was small and the light was dim, so I couldn't see clearly.

Hua Shi poured the mouse out of the basket, and was slightly stunned when he saw it.

The originally fat rat seemed to have shrunk in just two days, and became visibly thinner.

The mouse that was knocked to the ground had no intention of escaping. It instinctively crouched on the ground, opened its eyes a little wide, and squeaked as it looked at the flowers.

“Squeak…”

Hua Shi reached out and touched the mouse's shrunken belly. The mouse didn't move, letting Hua Shi scratch it. Its two small front paws even stretched out to hug Hua Shi's fingertips.

Hua Shi even heard a hint of affection and flattery in its call.

Hua Shi looked him up and down to make sure he was not mistaken.

The mouse was clearly very close to her.

The previous one was not an illusion.

Ever since the spring appeared, the little animals have obviously developed an unusually strong affinity for it.

Xie Mingchi's big yellow dog, black cat, the fish that swam towards him when he was fishing yesterday, and this mouse...

They were all attracted by the spring water in the palm of her hand.

Moreover, this spring water can not only heal animals' wounds of all sizes, but also has a significant strengthening effect on their bodies.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the mouse seemed to become more intelligent after drinking the spring water.

Hua Shi rubbed its little belly, and it turned over, revealing its soft belly and letting her scratch it.

Hua Shi pointed to the inconspicuous little stone at the corner of the table. The mouse squeaked twice, quickly got up, ran towards the little stone, picked up the stone with its two claws, and quickly crawled back.

As if to please her, he placed the stone next to Hua Shi's hand and looked at her with his slightly wide eyes blinking.

Hua Shi patted its little head and had a rough idea in his mind.

As expected...

…

Hua Xiao stared, watching Hua Shi pick up a small blue basket and a chopping knife, then push open the gate and head out...

Hua Xiao stood up straight, rushed over, and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to go out!"

Hua Shi looked down at the little girl blocking the door, then looked left and right and asked calmly, "What? Why aren't you allowed to go out?"

Hua Xiao glared at her with gritted teeth and snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know. If you go out today and grandma comes back and finds out, then it will be me and my second brother who will suffer!"

As Hua Xiao spoke, he cursed Hua Shi again in his heart.

He is just a troublemaker!

Hua Shi raised his hand to smooth her messy and prickly hair, pushed her aside, and said calmly, "Don't worry, if grandma blames you, I'll take the blame and I won't implicate you."
