Chapter 39

Ying Huai only felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become thicker again two days after the rain.

Because the previous rain consumed a lot of spiritual energy in the air, this also resulted in Ying Huai being unable to accurately perceive the difference when absorbing spiritual energy to practice later.

After sensing that the spiritual energy was even more dense, Ying Huai sensed it again and tried to contact the Heavenly Dao. He wanted to know whether the Heavenly Dao of this world would wake up now that the heaven and earth had become like this.

Unfortunately, Ying Huai still did not receive any response.

This made Ying Huai feel helpless. If the Heavenly Dao did not appear in time, what would the world become in the end?

Even Ying Huai couldn't predict it.

After all, his cognition was formed when he was in the world of cultivation. After coming to this world, facing the sudden changes in the world, he basically understood them according to his previous cognition.

Ying Huai really had no choice but to understand it this way. The changes were too fast, and the various abilities were difficult to understand.

Only what Ying Huai had learned from those cultivators in the Tianyuan Secret Realm before could be simply understood.

In fact, if Ying Huai had a mobile phone from this world, he could surf the Internet and perhaps see more imaginations, and after verifying these imaginations, he could try to come up with some survival methods that are more suitable for the human beings in this world.

Unfortunately, Ying Huai was bullied because he didn't have a mobile phone and didn't know how to use electronic products.

But it's not that bad now. Although Ying Huai doesn't know how to use electronic products, he is not idle. These days he has been studying the general direction of spiritual energy in this world after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has revived.

In the end, he actually came up with a more feasible solution.

It is a set of exercises, but it is relatively simple.

If Ying Huai were allowed to find a way to practice on his own, he could try it on himself and then slowly find out what the shortcomings of the skills he created were. However, now, Ying Huai is trying to create skills that humans need, which is a bit difficult.

The humans in this world may be somewhat different from those in the world of cultivation.

Because of this sudden change in the world, their bodies have more or less mutated like those of animals and plants.

If you do it even slightly wrong, it may harm your body.

Ying Huai was a little conflicted, which resulted in him not being able to concentrate on his practice these past few days.

As for Ying Huai's condition, no one in the village has noticed it yet because there are so many people and so many new things happening recently.

Zuzu did have some feelings, but when she asked, she found that her godmother could respond, and the leaves did not seem to be in any bad condition. She couldn't say that she was lying under her godmother's tree and felt that her godmother was in a bad mood, right?

This is a bit ridiculous.

Thinking about it, she put her thoughts aside for the time being and decided to observe for a while and ask the villagers who had been chatting under the tree for the past two days.

Just as Zuzu had put the thought aside and was about to shift his gaze to look at the people chatting nearby, he saw several of his own children leading other children who had just returned from outside coming from afar.

This time the village chief asked the villagers to come back from outside. Perhaps the happiest people would not be the adults who had just returned to their hometown and saw familiar people or things, but the children who were still at a carefree age and no longer had to go to training classes after coming back.

"Grandma, grandma, aunts and grandmothers, hello!"

Shitou was running in the front, moving very fast. The wind blew the hair on his forehead back. He kept shouting "Zuzu" as he came towards this side.

As he got closer, he saw the elders chatting together under the tree, and quickly stopped to greet them.

"It's a stone. What's the matter with it? Why are you running so fast? What are you looking for your grandfather for?"

An aunt saw his appearance, smiled and took out a handkerchief from her body and wiped the sweat from Shi Tou's forehead due to the heat from running.

"Hey, Auntie, eat some fruit."

Feeling the handkerchief wiping his face, Shitou tilted his head slightly to facilitate his aunt's movements. After the other party wiped the sweat off his face, he took out one of the fruits in his arms and handed it to his aunt, indicating that she should eat it.

"Thank you, Shitou. This fruit is green, right? It's not ripe yet."

When the aunt heard what he said, she lowered her head and looked in the direction he was looking. She saw the green fruits in the arms of Shi Tou and the children behind him, and felt a little confused.

To prevent herself from making a mistake, she reached out to take the fruit that Shi Tou handed her and put it to her nose to sniff it.

I found that the fruit did not give me the sweetness, but a sour and astringent feeling.

Just by smelling it, she no longer had any desire to eat.

"Auntie, it's sweet!"

Shitou said as he withdrew his hand, picked up another fruit, walked up to Zuzu and handed it to her.

"Grandpa, eat this fruit! It's super delicious!"

Shitou said as he passed the fruit to Zuzu's lips.

Just as Zuzu was about to ask a question or two, she smelled the sour taste coming from the fruit. She frowned slightly, looked at Shitou's expectant expression, and opened her mouth to bite the fruit.

As soon as I took a bite, I could feel the juice of the fruit spreading on the tip of my tongue.

Compared with the appearance of the fruit and the smell it emits, they are completely two extremes.

This was a kind of sweetness that no one could describe, and it was so delicious. After she chewed and swallowed the piece in her mouth, she could feel a very comfortable air spreading from her stomach to every part of her limbs.

Just by taking a bite, she knew that this fruit must be extraordinary.

He turned around and asked the children with some confusion.

"How do you know this fruit is edible?"

Normally, the adults present would know that these fruits are not edible just by looking at their appearance and would not touch them. Only the children, who were curious and explored them, knew that these fruits were edible.

"Ah, actually we didn't find it. It was a pitch-black bird that found it. We saw it standing on a tree eating it. It tasted so good. We wanted to try some too, so we picked some and ate them. It was really delicious!"

After hearing Zuzu's question, Shitou finally spoke up to explain. He was still a little greedy and looked down at the fruit in his arms. He obviously wanted to eat it, but he didn't reach out to eat it. Instead, he looked at it. After seeing Zuzu finish the fruit in his hand, he took out another one and handed it to Zuzu.

"Grandpa, eat more. Xiao Hei said it's good for your health!"

As he spoke, he carefully put down the fruit in his arms and motioned for Zuzu to eat it slowly.

"There are still some on the trees, not yet ripe. We found and picked all that we could eat today."

Stone said, with some regret,

There are many children in the village. When they see that the fruits are edible and others want to pick them and eat them, they cannot monopolize the fruits and prevent other children from eating them.

Hearing Shitou's words, Zuzu looked at the snake head that had half of its head poked out from his sleeve calmly, with a smile on his face.

When the little snake saw Zuzu looking at it, it was frightened and instantly retracted its small body and hid.

Shi Tou was afraid that he would be beaten by his father again, so these days, even though he carried the little snake with him, he didn't dare let it appear.

He also told the little snake to stay away from adults. The little snake was very obedient. Even though the adults of the Wu family heard the name "Xiao Hei" from Shitou from time to time these days, no one noticed it. They thought Shitou was calling the name of a dog in the village, and warned him not to play with those vicious dogs in the village.

Several children in the family were bribed by Shi Tou with pocket money, and they didn't even think about telling the adults in advance to reassure them. They just stayed with Shi Tou all day long, not afraid that the little snake would hurt them.

"Hmm? These fruits are hard to tell apart. How does a stone know which ones are edible and which ones are not?"

Hearing what Shitou said, Zuzu was a little confused. She looked at the green fruits in her hand and couldn't tell which ones were edible.

“They all look the same, but they smell different on the outside, so it’s really hard to tell them apart.”

When Shitou heard Zuzu's question, he subconsciously retracted his hand and hid the little snake in his sleeve.

They are hard to identify, but the little snakes are.

Today's fruits were all sniffed out by the little snake on the tree and identified by him.

You know what, the fruits picked by Xiao Hei are very sweet, much more delicious than the sour and bitter fruits he picked himself!

"Oh, you know what, this fruit is so sweet!"

Seeing that the grandparents had eaten it and said it was delicious, the aunt who had just been given the fruit by the stone stuffed the fruit she had been looking at into her mouth. The sweetness that exploded in her mouth made her exclaim in surprise.

“Is it really that delicious?”

The other women who were just gossiping turned around and asked.

"Hmm, it's really delicious. It's sweeter than those expensive fruits we eat in the city that cost dozens of yuan per pound!"

After receiving a positive answer, the others did not think of asking Shi Tou for them, but instead asked Shi Tou where these fruits came from.

When asked, Shitou was not a stingy child and answered directly.

"That tree at the end of the village that hadn't borne fruit for a long, long time, just recently borne fruit without even blooming. My grandfather and the others had said it would take a long time to grow before you could eat it.

But when we went there today, we discovered that it looked like unripe fruit. Many of them were already ripe. When we picked them, some had wilted and dried up on the tree. The dried fruits were so dry that we couldn't even bite them.

When Shi Tou said this, he seemed to be thinking of the deliciousness of the fruit. He drooled and looked greedy.

Zuzu looked at his little appearance and found it very funny. She reached out and picked up one of the fruits that Shitou had placed next to her and put it into Shitou's mouth.

"Grandpa, this is for you. I'll go see if there's anything cooked tomorrow. Then I'll have something to eat again."

Shitou was forced to eat another fruit. Seeing that there was one less fruit among the few he had picked, he felt a little sad.

"Eat it. The tree is right there. We can only eat what we can get. It's just a matter of how much. Don't let our Stone's mouth be fed badly~"

Zuzu said, rubbing the stone's head.

These children grew up under the care of her grandmother, and among them, Shitou was the one she watched the most.

Although Shitou is usually very naughty and always does some unreliable things, he is very close to her as his great-grandmother and thinks of her when something good happens.

"Grandpa, we still have some left. Let's share it."

Momo watched from behind, and came to Zuzu's side. He took out the food from his pocket, put a few in front of Zuzu, and kept the remaining few in his pocket. He planned to take them back for his unreliable parents to try.

Seeing the movement of the steamed buns, the group of children behind him took out a few to share, and the remaining ones were to be taken home to share with the adults.

After all, this was the first time they found fruit outside that adults had never eaten, and their desire to share it had reached its peak.

If they didn't know that most of the adults were not at home, they would not be waiting at the village entrance, but would go home directly.

Ying Huai just lowered his head and looked at the group of adults and children gathered under his tree, sitting in a row and sharing fruits. He found it a bit funny.

However, looking at the fruits in their hands and thinking of the tree that Shi Tou mentioned, Ying Huai shifted his attention there.

I found that the branches of the fruit tree, which had been hanging with fruits but not ripe before, were now a little crooked and looked a little sloppy. I inexplicably felt that it looked a little pitiful.

This fruit tree is the one that Ying Huai had paid special attention to before. It cannot absorb spiritual energy on its own and would not bloom originally. However, this mutation forced it to skip flowering and directly produce fruit to absorb spiritual energy.

Perhaps it was because of the spiritual rain that the fruits on the tree absorbed the spiritual energy and ripened ahead of time.

Ying Huai looked carefully at the dry fruits hanging on the tree and was sure that the child was really unlucky. The fruits on his body ripened too quickly and he absorbed them too slowly. Before he could absorb much, he was discovered by the children in the village. Now there are few ripe fruits hanging on the whole tree.
