Shen Yizhi gave each of Qing Bao and the other two a fat crab claw, "Let's have a competition to see who can eat the crab meat the cleanest. There will be prizes then."

Qingbao is impatient and often swallows crabs whole. Before he finishes eating one, he is already eyeing the next one.

This won't work. You have to eat crabs slowly and carefully, and not waste any meat.

"Really?" Qing Bao paused while violently eating crabs. "What prize?"

Yuanbao and Nian Nian were also attracted by the rewards.

Shen Yizhi kept it a secret, "You'll know when the time comes."

Motivated by the reward, Qing Bao and the other two became much more careful when eating crabs. After finishing, they would lick the crabs again, not even leaving out the edges and corners, and would break them up to get the meat inside and eat it.

Shen Yizhi was very pleased to see this, then he exchanged glances with his father and master. While the three little guys were looking for meat in the crab claws, he scooped a bowl of the crab meat into each of them and put it into his mouth in big gulps.

When Qing Bao and the other two had finally cleaned the crab claws, they looked up and found that only an empty shell was left of the crab.

"???" What happened? Before the three of them could react, Shen Yizhi spoke first: "Have you finished eating? So clean! Come, gather all the crab shells in front of you, I'll weigh them, whoever has the lightest crab shell will get a reward!"

The three people's attention was diverted in this way.

Shen Jianghan and Zhang Lingche were laughing so hard on the side, but they didn't expose him. They watched Shen Yizhi coax the three little guys around.

Yichang, who was curled up on Qingbao's wrist: "..."

Three adults teamed up to bully three little babies, don't you feel guilty? Shen Yizhi glanced at him, what do you know? I'm doing this for their own good. Crabs are cold in nature, and eating too much will cause stomach upset. One crab claw per person is enough.

Yichang: Haha, you forgot that Qingbao and the other two are not ordinary children? Would they get a stomachache from eating too many crabs?

However, he did not dare to speak after seeing the truth.

And fell into autism.

Seeing but not being able to eat, what an inhumane torture! He should close his five senses and block out all sounds and smells, lest he succumb to temptation and do something impulsive, which would be a disaster for him.

After Shen Yizhi's weighing, Yuanbao's crab shell was the lightest, followed by Nian Nian, and Qingbao was last.

"Okay, the results are out, and I'll give you a reward of Yuanbao—" Shen Yizhi took out a picture album from behind and handed it to Yuanbao, "Do you like it?"

This sketchbook was bought from a grocery store. The drawing paper is made of a material similar to that of a blackboard, so you can draw on it repeatedly and simply erase the parts you're not satisfied with. The accompanying pens are a set of thirty-six watercolor pencils.

Yuanbao took it in his hand and touched it, and couldn't let it go. "Thank you, mother."

"Little fool, why don't you tell your mother thank you? Put your things away and eat first."

Shen Yizhi rubbed Yuanbao's head.

Holding the wine glass in the right hand and the crab claw in the left hand, floating in the wine boat is enough for a lifetime!

Although there are no wine boats at the moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion is still joyful.

The meal lasted until the moon rose high in the sky, and Shen Yizi added dishes several times during the meal.

Shen Jianghan and Zhang Lingche were both drunk, Shen Yizhi was also a little tipsy, but Qing Bao and the other two had fallen asleep in a mess, probably because they were tired from playing during the day.

Shen Yizi sent the three little guys into the space, cleaned up the mess in the pavilion, performed a cleaning spell, and made the pavilion tidy again.

Zhang Lingche fell asleep against the pillar while holding Xiaolu's neck and snoring. A sly smile flashed across Shen Yizhi's face. He recorded this scene with the camera stone and would use it to embarrass him when he found a chance!

After the recording, she sent him to his room in the wooden building and stuffed a sobering pill into his mouth.

When I returned to the pavilion, my father was leaning against a stone pillar, holding a stone sculpture in his hand, with a sense of sadness lingering around him.

Shen Yizhi walked over and saw that the stone sculpture in her father's hand was a human figure, who looked 50% similar to her. It was her mother Pei Xiang.

Dad is thinking of her mother again.

As a daughter, she is not good at commenting on the relationship between her parents, but she feels that her father is a little slow in terms of emotions.

When her mother was in front of him, he was indifferent and refused everything. After her mother left, he seemed to come to his senses and carved countless statues of her mother.

But after carving each one, he would not stay, but sank into the stream not far away. Now, there were countless stone sculptures of his mother piled up in the stream.

It was also because of these stone carvings that she knew what her mother looked like.

The one in his hand was the most successfully carved one. The appearance and charm were so vivid that it looked like it was alive. She was shocked when she saw it for the first time because she felt that the eyes of the stone sculpture were looking at her!

Seeing his father gently stroking the face of the stone sculpture, immersed in it, Shen Yizi thought that he should not disturb him at this time and planned to leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped.

"Yibao." Shen Jianghan called Shen Yizhi to his front, "Come, say hello to your mother."

Shen Yizhi: “…”

Her father was really drunk.

But what's the point of talking to a drunk person? She followed suit and obediently called out to the stone sculpture in his palm, "Mom."

The stone sculpture blinked, raised the corners of its mouth, and its face was like the surface of a lake swept by a spring breeze, causing vivid ripples.

Shen Yizhi: “!!!”

Is she drunk too? Otherwise, why would she have such hallucinations?

Shen Jianghan held her hand and gently touched the stone sculpture.

Warm! Just like human skin.

Shen Yizhi was confused and puzzled: "Dad, what's going on?"

Is the stone sculpture a spirit? Or is her mother's spirit residing inside?

Shen Jianghan sighed and said, "There is a remnant of your mother's soul in here. To be more precise, it is the spirit of wisdom. People have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are heaven, earth, and life, and the seven spirits are Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Li, Zhongshu, Jing, and Ying. The one in this stone sculpture is your mother's spirit of wisdom."

"Residual soul? Spiritual soul?" It didn't feel good the moment I heard it.

"I don't know why your mother's soul split. Apart from this spiritual soul, I didn't sense the rest. I guess she went to the underworld. But if one soul is missing, your mother's mind may not be sufficient even if she is reincarnated."

The spiritual and wise soul represents wisdom. Without the spiritual and wise soul, one is equivalent to what people call a fool.

Shen Yizi's heart sank.

"This spiritual wisdom has become unusually active recently, and there are even signs that it is leaving the body. I guess your mother has been reincarnated."
