◎The rain after the resurrection of spiritual energy◎

Chapter 37

The bustle in the village continued until ten o'clock in the evening, when the noise gradually died down.

It’s not that people who have just returned to the village have a very regular schedule and have to rest when the time comes.

It was because they had just returned to Daxi Village after a long car ride during the day. The fact that they still had the energy to come out and chat with the villagers was because they hadn't seen most of the villagers for a long time and were a little excited.

Now that the energy has temporarily passed, they are mentally exhausted, so it is normal for them to go back and rest.

The other people in the village were quiet, having fallen asleep and starting to rest.

But Chu Xinran's mind was not at all idle. She was looking at a group of ornaments arguing across from the bed, feeling extremely annoyed.

She sat up feeling a little annoyed and turned to look at the ornaments on the table. She wanted to see how long these little things could make noise!

But it seemed that these little things with mouths didn't consume any energy at all because they were not human. Chu Xinran was so annoyed that she couldn't stand it anymore, but these little things were still making a lot of noise.

"You guys, stop arguing!..."

Finally, Chu Xinran couldn't stand it anymore, so she got out of bed and spread out the noisy little ornaments one by one, looking at them and speaking seriously.

But, what she said didn't seem to be very effective.

Even though they heard her trying to stop them, the cactus and the succulent on the table were still the ones arguing the loudest, with no intention of stopping at all.

Chu Xinran couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up angrily, picked up the two people who were still arguing in front of her, and walked out.

Seeing Chu Xinran taking the two away, Aloe Vera was a little worried.

"Ranran looks very unhappy. I just said that Ranran doesn't like us talking all the time. Why don't you stop?"

Aloe Vera's deep voice rang out, and her words ignited the entire place again. The small ornaments on the table, which had just been quiet because of Chu Xinran's actions, began to quarrel again.

But this time, the topic they were discussing became a condemnation of the person who had just spoken.

Among them, aloe vera had the loudest voice. Even though it didn't say much, it became the center of criticism.

On the other side, Chu Xinran, who was the center of the topic, walked out of the door with the two most noisy decorative plants, and the first place she went to was Xiao Ling'er's room.

She couldn't do anything with these little ornaments, but she knew who they were afraid of!

Thinking of this, she took the two small ornaments and walked towards Xiao Ling'er's room.

Because it was already night, she was afraid that Xiao Ling'er would not get a good rest, so she did not disturb her, nor did she make any noise or knock on the door. She just squatted at the door of Xiao Ling'er's room, holding the two ornaments.

He squatted down and saw that the two plants in his arms that had been quarreling fiercely just now had wilted. Their voices became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into grumbling.

It was also at this time that Chu Xinran's ears finally calmed down.

Although the two cubs in her arms had stopped quarreling, they still kept mumbling. However, at least they did not make Chu Xinran dizzy, and she could take a short break, so she did not threaten them anymore.

"Ranran, I want to sing."

The little cactus looked at Chu Xinran who was holding it, and after mumbling to itself and the little cactus for a long time, it began its own performance.

"Let me go on stage and sing a lullaby to Ranran!"

Before the little cactus could say anything, the cactus spoke first.

Because it was concerned about Xiao Ling'er in the room behind it, its voice could not compare to the folk songs it sang during the day.

Listening to the soft, somewhat off-tune nursery rhyme beside her ears, Chu Xinran's originally somewhat irritable heart was soothed.

This is the song her mother often sang when she was alive. Perhaps because she missed her mother's voice so much, before her brain problems, she often played her mother's audio on the computer.

Perhaps because of this, the two desktop green plants that loved singing listened to her, and after Chu Xinran was able to hear them speak, they sang frequently.

Of course, they felt that this song was not as exciting as folk songs, so they didn't sing it much.

But every time when Chu Xinran was so irritated that she was about to collapse, they would sing, and there was a strange soothing power that would forcibly suppress her heart that was so broken that she wanted to die.

For now, only these few can provoke her to the point of collapse and then force her back down.

Chu Xinran squatted there for several hours. Xiao Ling'er didn't like to get up in the middle of the night, and she didn't see Chu Xinran's current appearance, so she didn't react much. However, Wu Laoer, who had just returned from the city in the next room, was frightened.

Who would have thought that when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, he had just walked out the door a short distance when, in the dim light, he saw a dark ball huddled there, moving from time to time. It was a credit to his good composure that he didn't faint from fright.

If the couple had lived in their own room before, he wouldn't have encountered such a situation, but the children's rooms were all next to each other.

Momo's room is right next to Xiao Ling'er, so now that he goes out, he'll bump into her.

"What the hell! What are you doing, Wu Lao Er? You just came back in the middle of the night, are you looking for a beating?"

Wu Laoer was so frightened that he screamed, waking up the entire Wu family.

The village chief had trouble sleeping due to his old age, and the scream woke him up and almost made him lose his soul in his dream.

As soon as he woke up and realized whose voice it was, he yelled outside the house.

Hearing his father's shout, Wu Laoer finally reacted. He hurriedly turned back to the room, turned on the light under the eaves outside, and came out again. Only then did he see clearly who was squatting outside.

Chu Xinran, who was stunned by the scream, was finally brought back to her senses by the dazzle of the light. She felt a little embarrassed as she looked at the couple who came out and stared at her.

"I feel a little uncomfortable staying in the house, so I want to go out and look at the moon..."

After listening to the little girl's explanation, Wu Laoer and his wife raised their heads and looked up at the sky at the same time.

Pitch black.

Perhaps because it was about to rain, dark clouds gathered in the sky and only a few of the stars that we normally see are visible, not to mention the moon that has been blocked by clouds.

Seeing their actions, Chu Xinran subconsciously turned around and followed them. Seeing the current situation in the sky, she was silent.

"What are you two still doing outside? You don't even know what you're going to do! Go back to your room and sleep after you're done!"

Hearing the noise outside, the Wu family members who had been woken up came out and saw their appearance, feeling helpless.

Grandma Shitou told her second son and his wife to do what they were supposed to do.

She walked forward, looked Chu Xinran up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.

"Child, if you don't want to stay in the house, then don't stay. At least shout a word and we'll leave a light on for you outside. Boss, go to the main room and get out your grandma's recliner and let Ran sit on it."

Hearing the call, Shitou's father turned around and walked towards the main room without any delay.

Before Chu Xinran could say no, someone had already brought out a recliner. He walked over with ease, holding the recliner in one hand, and placed it behind Chu Xinran so that she could sit conveniently.

He carries the recliner so skillfully, which shows that he often carries the recliner for his grandfather everywhere.

Zuzu also heard the noise, but she didn't come out. She just listened to the noise in the house. Seeing that Grandma Shitou handled it well, she didn't care.

Chu Xinran has been living in the Wu family these days, and she always causes all kinds of trouble, but none of them are big things. The Wu family sees it all, and their unanimous opinion is that as long as there is nothing wrong with her, it's fine.

After all, Chu Xinran was sick and had no relatives around her. Her grandfather was from Daxi Village and was very close to the village. It was nothing for the elders like them to be tolerant of the younger generation.

With this thought in mind, Chu Xinran felt very comfortable living in the village chief's house these days.

The fact that she, whose senses were very sharp due to her illness, could feel comfortable and at ease shows how tolerant the Wu family was towards her.

This is all that family members can do.

"Okay, go back."

Grandma Shitou was accompanying Chu Xinran right next to her. After seeing her son finish what he wanted to do and return to his room, she gave Chu Xinran some instructions and went back to her room to rest.

There was no mention of the importance of going back to rest so late at night.

Seeing that the Wu family had quieted down again, Chu Xinran, who was sitting on a recliner with a dim light above her head, looked at the dark night outside with a smile on her lips.

Rarely, the two little ornaments in her arms kept silent and followed her to feel the surrounding atmosphere for a while.

Unfortunately, even if they wanted to be quiet, they couldn't stop talking, and soon they started chattering again.

"Ranran, Grandma Wu is so kind. She gave you a recliner. Put me down. I want to sit on the recliner too."

The little cactus looked down at the recliner where Chu Xinran was sitting, and seeing that Chu Xinran was not going to put it and the cactus down, it couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, yes, I want to sit too."

The sound of the cactus followed, and it was so cheerful.

Even if others pull out all the thorns on its body, it can still smile and grow a new one. It has a positive feeling.

"Well, just stop arguing."

Hearing the voice, Chu Xinran lowered her head, looked at the two ornaments who were motionless but couldn't stop talking, and responded.

She felt a little heavy in her heart. Her hallucination was becoming more and more real. When she felt happy, the hallucination could actually react accordingly.

It's really rare that I can follow her emotions.

"I guess your appearance is just to make me remember my mom and grandma?"

Cactus and Prickly Pear often speak in the same way as her mother and grandmother.

The only difference between them is that mom and grandma never quarrel. They just stay together gently and keep a stable mood.

Sometimes Chu Xinran was a little puzzled. How could her mother and grandmother, who were such gentle people, have such an emotionally unstable child like her?

After much deliberation, she finally attributed it to her father's bad genes.

Just as Chu Xinran was lost in thought, there began to be some movement in the area of the sky where the clouds had previously been dense.

The rain was falling from the sky.

Along with it came the spiritual energy that had previously gathered in the clouds in the sky.

These spiritual energies were originally scattered in the air, then slowly gathered together with the water vapor, and now they are falling again because of the rain.

It seems to be participating in a natural cycle, not only changing the various creatures in this world, but also starting to participate in the laws of nature.

Due to the decision of the village chief, most of the abnormal plants in Daxi Village were checked by Ying Huai, and the threatening mutant plants and animals had been dealt with. The remaining ones were plants and animals that were not threatening in themselves, or were peaceful in nature and would not easily pose a threat to humans.

Just like the little demon plant that Grandma Shitou had planted next to the Huai River.

It was injured before, and after this period of care, although it has not recovered yet, it is no longer in danger of life.

Also because he was with Ying Huai, he inexplicably liked to imitate Ying Huai's behavior.

At this time, seeing Ying Huai absorbing the spiritual energy from the rain, although it was still a little difficult to separate the spiritual energy from the rain, it still struggled to imitate Ying Huai's movements and absorb it.

As soon as Ying Huai opened his eyes, he saw that the little demon plant next to him had become noticeably fatter after absorbing food all night.

It was obvious that this little demon plant had some difficulty in processing the spiritual energy in the rainwater, so it learned to absorb it like the Huai River. In the end, it drank too much water and became swollen, looking fat.

"Little one, if you don't know how to do it, you can take your time and learn it later when you are able to adapt."

Ying Huai extended a root from the ground and gently stroked the leaves of the little demon plant.

I could hear the babbling of the little demon plant.

It still has some difficulty speaking now, but it is trying hard to learn.

Because of the rain last night, Ying Huai absorbed half more spiritual energy than usual, and now he is in a good mood.

Like the little demon plant, the little stone doll that Nuonuo brought home also underwent some changes.
