Zuo Qingya's first task has been completed. There is still a second task: help the man-eating flower spirit solve its pest and disease problem. Can the man-eating flower spirit get sick?
Time flies, and it's almost dawn.
"Little Chuchu, I'm going home now!"
"Shall we go back now?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes, I have to go back now because my mother is still at home. If she wakes up and sees that I'm not there, she will be very worried, so I have to go back now."
"Okay, then, will you come again?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Um... I'll come over tonight."
"Alright then! Take this with you." Little Chiu Chiu took out her precious honey and handed it to Zuo Qingya.
"Xiaoya, you gave me a lollipop before, now I'll give you honey, it's sweet too."
Zuo Qingya took the honey jar. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Xiaoya. What time are you coming over tonight?"
Zuo Qingya shook her head. "I don't know. It depends on my mom. If she goes to bed early, I'll come earlier. If she goes to bed late, I'll come later. If she doesn't go to bed at all, I probably won't come."
"Oh well!"
Not long after Zuo Qingya left, Da Hua and Xiao Hua returned after tidying up their place. Not seeing Zuo Qingya, they asked with some confusion, "Xiao Qiu Qiu, where is that little human?"
Little Chirp scratched her head and said, "She went back."
"Huh? So fast? I haven't even bought the talisman paper yet!"
Little Chirp comforted it, "Don't worry, Mom, she'll come over tonight. She said her mom is at home, and she's afraid that if she goes back late, her mom will be worried if she finds out she's not home."
Da Hua nodded. "Oh, I see. It's good that she can come. I was just afraid she wouldn't."
"Where did the carnivorous flower spirit go? How come we can't find it?"
The person being questioned trembled and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Xu, we really couldn't find it. It may have escaped."
"Then why don't we hurry up and look for it?"
"OK."
"Send more people to search immediately."
"Okay, Dr. Xu."
When Zuo Qingya got home, it was already 5:00 a.m. Fortunately, Liu Man was still asleep. Zuo Qingya carefully climbed into bed, lay down, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. She was quite tired after a busy night. Zuo Qingya felt like she had just fallen asleep when she was woken up.
"Little sleepyhead, get up! The sun's already high in the sky."
Zuo Qingya didn't get enough sleep and felt groggy.
"What's wrong? I haven't had enough sleep yet, Mom!"
Liu Man touched Zuo Qingya's forehead. "You don't have a fever! How could you not be getting enough sleep?"
"Mom, can I sleep a little longer? Just a little while longer."
Liu Man nodded, "Okay then! I'll take a nap."
Zuo Qingya felt as if she had just closed her eyes when she was woken up again.
"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, get up quickly, Mommy has to go to work. Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth. I'll take you to Uncle Xu's house next door."
Zuo Qingya reluctantly got out of bed, yawning, "Okay!"
Zuo Qingya went to the bathroom by herself, washed her face, brushed her teeth, tidied herself up, and ate breakfast before being sent to Xu Yongjie's house.
Good morning, Xiaoya.
Good morning, Xu Weizhou.
Have you had breakfast yet?
"I've already eaten."
What did you eat?
"An egg, a steamed bun, and a bowl of porridge."
"Xiaoya, you ate quite a lot! I only ate one fried dough stick and I don't want to eat anymore, it's too awful."
"Alright!"
Today, Xu Yongjie was home.
"So early? Could she have been discovered?" Zuo Qingya shook her head. "No way. She's in her little kid form right now, how could she possibly be discovered? She was invisible when she saved Xiao Qiuqiu, how could she possibly be discovered? Impossible."
So they must have missed catching the little chicks and left early?
That's possible.
Zuo Qingya greeted him politely, "Good morning, Uncle Xu."
Xu Yongjie glanced at Zuo Qingya and nodded. "Good morning, Xiaoya."
Xu Yongjie was still eating breakfast, slowly and elegantly.
Ring ring... Ring ring...
Xu Yongjie's phone rang. He picked it up and answered it, walking toward the balcony as he spoke.
Zuo Qingya pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what was being said on the phone.
"Has it been found?"
"Not yet, Dr. Xu."
"Then we should intensify our search and also look for the surrounding forests."
"OK."
"If that doesn't work, we'll have to use that method."
"That method? What method? Are you suggesting we burn down the forest? Xu Yongjie shouldn't be that heartless, right?"
That's not necessarily true. After all, once someone gets stuck on a particular idea, it's often irreversible.
"Xiaoya, let's go play this?" he said, picking up the item in his hand and handing it to Zuo Qingya.
"What are we playing?" Wait... another jigsaw puzzle?
"Another jigsaw puzzle?"
"This puzzle is different from the one we did a couple of days ago!"
"What's the difference? Aren't they both puzzles?"
“It’s different, this one is really different, it’s a different pattern! This is it.” He said, handing Zuo Qingya a piece of paper.
"Look, isn't it different?"
Zuo Qingya glanced at it and said, "Okay, the patterns are indeed different, but there are still the same number of puzzle pieces!"
Did you finish the jigsaw puzzle from that day?
Xu Weizhou proudly said, "Yes, we've finished it all."
Zuo Qingya could only give Xu Weizhou a thumbs up and say, "You're really amazing."
Xu Weizhou waved his hand, "No, no!"
Zuo Qingya snorted coldly, "Trying to be modest now? Impressive is impressive."
"Okay then, thank you for the compliment."
Zuo Qingya had nothing else to do, so she spent the whole day playing with Xu Weizhou.
That evening, Zuo Qingya used the same trick again, pouring Liu Man a glass of water. After Liu Man fell asleep, Zuo Qingya affixed an invisibility talisman, stepped on her flying sword, and followed the tracking talisman.
Zuo Qingya was very fast, and arrived in no time.
Little Chiu Chiu was very happy to see Zuo Qingya.
"Xiaoya, you've finally arrived! My mom has been talking about you all day!"
Xiaoya, you haven't missed me!
"No."
"Oh? I'm so sad!"
But I miss you so, so much.
"Okay, thank you!"
"My mother misses you too, she misses your talismans."
"Uh??? Okay!"
"Don't mind it. It doesn't even know your name. It just keeps calling you 'little human'."
Zuo Qingya waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind, besides, I am human!"
"Uh??? That makes sense, calling you a little human isn't too much of an exaggeration."
Zuo Qingya nodded: "Not excessive."
[She still has task 2 to complete! What exactly are these pests and diseases?]
Just as Zuo Qingya was wondering, a person came to the man-eating flower spirit's house. He was an old man with white hair, and he actually had a human head instead of a flower head. He also had hands and feet.
This is a little old man with tattoos, including a carnivorous plant pattern on his face. To be honest, if you ignored his height, he would look like a normal person. But considering his height, he's incredibly short.
