Shen Damao thought so, but his hands did not stop moving.
Although he didn't like eating fruits very much, he would not refuse fruits that had the effect of the concentration array and tasted good.
After all, the concentration array has the function of stabilizing mental power and restoring spiritual power. For him who is currently in a spiritual state, it is the best. Every extra piece of fruit he eats will make him feel more relaxed.
So, in just a short while, Shen Yan had finished half a plate of fruit, and there was no sign of him stopping.
Wei Yanwang saw this scene, and his rat face was full of confusion. Like Shen Yan, he had no interest in fruits and vegetables. Or rather, for them who were in the spiritual state, they didn't even have the desire to eat. He was like this when faced with his favorite food, let alone fruits that he didn't like very much?
But Shen Yan's actions made Wei Yanwang curious. Could this fruit really be so delicious? So delicious that even a picky guy like Shen Yan couldn't stop eating it?
Unable to control itself, its pair of small green eyes shifted to the big red fruit. After hesitating for a moment, its claws couldn't help but pick up a big strawberry. It took a careful bite, and then... Wei the little white mouse's eyes suddenly lit up, and it couldn't stop.
If these fruits containing the concentration array are just a comfort to Chen Yan, who has abundant spiritual power, then for Wei Yanwang, who lacks spiritual energy, they are simply life-saving treasures. After just one bite, he fully understood the effects of these fruits.
So, the next moment, Wei the little white mouse could no longer control himself and plunged into the pile of fruits like a madman, not caring whether his body as small as a little white mouse could hold so many fruits. He grabbed all the fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.
He had just stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and hadn't swallowed it when the second one was stuffed in. He even didn't let go of a small melon that was almost the same size as his body. He directly hugged a small melon that had not been cut open, showed a pair of extremely sharp incisors, and started to gnaw it extremely quickly. In just a minute or two, the small melon was gnawed clean by Wei the little white mouse without leaving anything.
Wen He was a bit dumbfounded by this. She knew that spiritual creatures loved the fruits she grew and could sometimes get quite ferocious in their fight over them, but... could this little white mouse's stomach really be that big? It had devoured such a small cantaloupe like that, completely filling its stomach? Eating like that, wouldn't it be okay? Would it die from overeating soon?
When Wen He thought of this, he wanted to say something, and at this moment, Ashan's voice came from the side. At this moment, Ashan, who had picked watermelons on the other side, was holding a watermelon over and was about to come over to cut it and give it to the villagers.
However, the next moment, Ashan's voice was stuck.
The reason was not anything else, it was simply because at some point, the little white mouse that was originally holding a small melon and chewing it beside Wen He suddenly ran to Ashan, stood up straight, and stared at the big watermelon in Ashan's hand with its pair of green eyes, revealing a look that was completely like hunting.
Ashan, who was so confused that he didn't know what was going on, swallowed hard a few times. He thought he had done something wrong and was being stared at by the old man in front of him. Almost subconsciously, the man and the rat retreated and advanced. After a few panicked screams from Ashan, the two guys disappeared completely.
After a long while, when Ashan appeared again, he came back with a complicated expression, holding a little white mouse with a bloated belly that could not move. He said that just now, he was distracted and the little white mouse had eaten up the whole watermelon, and wanted to crawl out to eat a second one. If it had not been so bloated that it could not move, it is estimated that the little white mouse would not be just bloated.
In response, Shen Damao gave Wei Xiaobaishu a stupid look without mercy. It was embarrassing enough to make such a stupid move.
If it were any other time, Wei the White Mouse would have been so angry that he would have started a fight with Shen the Big Cat in the morning. But at this moment, he felt very comfortable. No matter how much he was despised, he could consciously and actively ignore it and pretend not to see it. He just regretted a little why he transformed into a rat. Such a small body was not enough for him to stuff fruits. If he had a body as big as Shen the Big Cat, he could have stuffed four, five or six watermelons into his body until he could not eat any more.
There was no way, no wonder Wei the White Mouse couldn't control himself. Just like just now, he had just finished eating the cantaloupe, and he felt that his dry and exhausted spiritual energy began to flow slowly. It didn't just make him feel comfortable, but the pleasure of the spiritual energy flowing smoothly that he hadn't felt for a long time almost made him scream.
So when he saw Ashan coming in with a big watermelon, he felt like he had seen a tonic and he could no longer control himself and pounced on it. In fact, after eating the big watermelon, Wei Xiaobaishu felt that the effect was much better than he had imagined. His whole body became comfortable and he didn't even want to move. Of course, even if he wanted to move, he was so full that he couldn't move.
Wen He was at a loss for words when he saw this, but fortunately, although the little white mouse was extremely overfed, it did not look uncomfortable at all and was even full of energy, a hundred times more energetic than before. It looked like there was nothing wrong with it, except that it was too full to move. Once the fruit was digested, it would turn back into a normal mouse.
On the contrary, the big cat was much more restrained. He ate half of the fruit and then stopped eating. Instead, he squatted aside and watched Wen He and A Shan cutting the fruit platter.
Of course, making a fruit platter is very simple and requires almost no effort. It's just that Ashan's knife skills are too poor, so the peeling and cutting of melons are all done by Wenhe. Wenhe has cut a lot of fruits, so his efficiency is very high. He can finish cutting them in a short time. Ashan is responsible for washing some fruits that do not need to be cut, such as small tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, etc.
Not long after the fruit platter was made, people came from the kitchen to call for help. It seemed that dinner was almost ready. Several tables of people gathered together and the villagers soon started celebrating. Everyone couldn't help but talk about their own ideas after the road was built, such as setting up a farm stay or something.
Anyway, the village has always been used to being self-sufficient, but in fact, there is always a surplus of food ingredients. Usually, they have to spend time transporting them to the city to sell. Because the quantity is small, it is not only hard work, but also the selling price is very low. If the village can open a farm stay, they will have much less trouble. Whether they make money or not is one thing, but at least the village will be much more lively than before.
Even the village chief couldn't help talking after taking a few sips of wine. He smiled foolishly and said that if the village developed well in the future, he would let his son come back to help with the business. Of course, he was drunk by the excited villagers before he could drink more. He passed out without knowing when. The village chief's wife who was sitting at the other table felt helpless and angry. She said that they would have to call someone to carry this drunkard down the mountain later. He knew that he would get drunk after three cups of wine, but he still drank so much!
Of course, these angry words were not true. The men were so happy that most of them, who were forbidden by their wives to drink so much, took advantage of the excitement and drank a few more sips. It was not until late at night that everyone gradually dispersed. Before leaving, the villagers took care of all the cleaning and tidying up very neatly. With so many people, the process was quick. In just a moment, even the kitchen was cleaned up.
After bidding farewell to Aunt Sun and the others, the old house became quiet again. Wen He didn't know why, but at this moment, she felt a little lost. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if her mother also lived with her in this old house.
I heard from her grandfather that before she was stimulated, Wen's mother was actually a very gentle and beautiful woman. In fact, Wen He doesn't necessarily need a perfect mother. She just wants her mother to wake up and be discharged from the hospital. But this seems a bit too extravagant. This must be because when she saw Aunt Sun and her son Ajun getting along, she couldn't help but feel a little envious and couldn't control her emotions.
But soon, Wen He regained her spirits. The frustration on her face quickly disappeared, and she turned back into the Wen He with a warm smile. Even the slight sadness in her eyes was quickly concealed by her.
Perhaps to put it another way, she is actually living a good life now. Although the old man who loved her is no longer with us, she is still protecting the things he cherishes.
Moreover, this old house is no longer as desolate as it was at the beginning. There are big roosters, big spotted pigs and other animals. There is also a beautiful fruit garden outside. After a while, the crops over there can be completely cultivated and planted. Later, there was also the chatterbox Ashan. With the new guests today, the big cat and the little white mouse, Wen He felt that he should be satisfied.
But, speaking of which, where did the big cat go? Just when they were having dinner, the big cat was still half-lying on her thighs, but later, it seemed to have seen something and disappeared without a trace. Even after the villagers had completely dispersed, the big cat still didn't come out.
Wen He thought that the big cat was bored and was staying in some corner, but now it seems that this is not the case, because Wen He searched the whole hall and could not seem to find the big cat. When he asked A Shan, he shook his head as if he did not see it. But the little white mouse seemed to know something. With a full belly, it squeaked a few times towards the room on the side, as if to say that the big cat should be there.
But there was nothing in that outer room. It seemed that some time ago, when Wen He was cleaning up the old house, he found a few jars of wine from some corner. It seemed that the Gu family had brewed it in this old house a long time ago, and no one knew how many years they had been there.
For fear that the wine might be broken, Wen He moved all of it out and placed it in the small house outside. Just when there were many people around, Wen He took out two jars and let the villagers taste them and identify whether they were good wine.
After all, Wen He didn't know much about wine. He only knew that the wine that had been stored for so long shouldn't be too bad. In fact, it turned out that this was indeed a good wine. Just two jars of aged wine had made the villagers drunk. But why did the big cat run to the outer room? The room was dirty and empty, and there was nothing in it. Wen He really didn't know what the big cat was doing there?
But in the next moment, Wen He completely understood why the big cat came here. Before entering the room, as soon as he opened the door, Wen He smelled a strong aroma of wine, like a wine jar being overturned, coming from the room.
Of course, the wine jars were not overturned, but the lids of the remaining two or three wine jars were all opened, and the wine inside was almost empty. Only the empty wine jars were left, and next to them, a big cat was lying there, lazily swinging its tail and burping from time to time.
Hearing the noise, the slightly confused green cat eyes half-closed and stared at Wen He who suddenly appeared outside the door for a while, as if trying to identify something. After a while, the big cat stood up shakily, purring softly, and rubbed Wen He's face with its fluffy cat face very intimately.
I have to say that Shen Damao was indeed a little intoxicated at this moment. Maybe it was because of the alcohol and the night. At this moment, Shen Damao actually felt that the girl who always caught him to stroke her was actually very beautiful. His heart was warmed, and he couldn't help but lean towards her. Maybe it was the stimulation of the alcohol, but at this moment, Shen Yan had an indescribable feeling and wanted the girl to stroke his fur like she usually did.
Chen Yan, or Shen Damao, really thought so, so he took the initiative to rub against Wen He affectionately. He thought that the next moment Wen He would be as happy and enthusiastic as he was today and stroke his fur.
However, Wen He, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed her expression the moment the big cat approached. Not only did she not give him a kiss, hug, or stroke his fur as Chen Yan had expected, but she also pulled him away, frowning and saying with dissatisfaction, "Don't hug me, big cat, you stink!"
“?!”
“It’s still dirty!”
“?!!”
Chen Yan, who had never expected such an answer, was suddenly stunned. His whole body was stiff. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be disliked. His cat eyes were full of a dazed look.
There was no way. After all, who was Chen Yan? Putting aside his status and identity in the world of metaphysics, just by looking at his face, it was hard for people to take their eyes off him. If it weren't for his majestic aura, strong aura, and his cold face that clearly said "No Trespassing", many women would have rushed up to him uncontrollably.
But at that time, Chen Yan had no interest in this aspect. Those beautiful women probably didn't interest him as much as those formation talismans. Under this premise, let alone finding a woman, Chen Yan had no interest in it at all. Especially when Chen Yan entered the peak period, his enthusiasm for finding an opponent was many times more than his enthusiasm for finding a woman.
Even so, this didn't prevent Chen Yan from knowing how popular he was. Or rather, when his strength reached its peak, Chen Yan was no longer simply popular with women. He had a large following of women who were simply smitten by his looks and strength. Back then, all the veterans in the metaphysical world spoke highly of Chen Yan, some even wanting to marry their outstanding granddaughters and female apprentices to him, but Chen Yan rejected them all.
Or let's put it this way, almost from childhood to adulthood, Chen Yan, who was close to perfection, had never heard a word bad about him. The only people who had been defeated by him were the ones who cursed him unwillingly. Of course, not long after that, those defeated men were completely crushed into the mud by Chen Yan, and they didn't even have the chance to make a sound.
And now, seeing Wen He's obvious reaction of disgust, it would be strange if Shen Yan didn't get stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Although he knew in his heart that Wen He might be referring to the smell of alcohol on him and the dust he had picked up from being in the messy room outside, at this moment, Chen Yan felt a little aggrieved for the first time in his life. He was so aggrieved that he didn't know how to react for a moment. He could only stare blankly at Wen He with his green cat eyes wide open.
With a "Puff", Wen He finally couldn't help laughing at that moment.
Originally, she was indeed a little angry. It was not that she was reluctant to give up the good wine, but she was a little angry that the big cat had been gone for a while and was covered in wine and dirt. But when she saw the big cat, which had originally looked arrogant and fierce, now staring at her stupidly with its blue eyes wide open, and there was an indescribable grievance on the cat's face, Wen He's anger dissipated unconsciously, and she could only shake her head helplessly.
"Okay, it looks like I need to give you a bath before you go to bed tonight. Come on, the hot water is ready..."
Take a bath? What kind of bath...?
The next moment, Chen Yan felt his body floating in the air, and was picked up by Wen He. When passing by the little white mouse lying dead with a big belly, Wen He also picked up the little white mouse covered in mud and walked directly to the bathroom at the back of the old house.
The house in the old house is actually equipped with a water heater, but because it has not been used for a long time, the heater is a bit broken and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. In addition, the weather has been getting warmer recently, and the water heater is used less often. Wen He did not replace it with a new one in time. Now that the mountain road is about to be opened, she plans to replace a batch of electrical appliances in the old house after a while.
So at this time in the evening, Ashan usually boils hot water in advance.
After mixing hot water with cold water and adjusting the temperature to a more suitable level, Wen He felt it was about time and prepared to roll up his sleeves and give the dirty big cat and little white mouse a bath.
Animals generally don't like bathing, especially cats. Cat owners know that bathing a cat is a real struggle. Not only is it physically demanding, but if you're not careful, a frightened cat might even scratch you, effectively ruining your clothes. Although Wen He had never owned a cat before, she had heard of the gruesome nature of bathing a cat.
So, while Wen He was preparing to bathe the cat, he was still thinking about some things he had read before about paying attention to when bathing a cat, such as the need to hold the cat's front legs and try not to let it move around when bathing the cat, and to comfort the cat and not let it be too scared, as well as some of the order of bathing and the places that should and should not be washed, etc.
Of course, the big cats and little white mice nowadays are not real animals, and they are not too afraid of taking a bath. It’s just that their souls are human after all, so they are bound to feel a little ashamed. Why not just bear it and let it go?
Chen Yan thought so. After all, in the eyes of that girl, he was indeed a cat. He made it so dirty, so it was normal for the girl to want to give the cat a bath. Well, just bear with it. As long as the cat is obedient, giving it a bath won't take much time, so just bear with it.
So, after figuring it out and deciding to just endure it, Chen Yan, under Wen He's gentle invitation, obediently put his front legs into the warm water.
However, just as Chen Yan put his front legs into the water, he suddenly heard Wen He mumbling to himself, "The order of bathing a cat is... wash the cat's back first, then the cat's belly, then the cat's feet, the tail, hmm... then do you wash the cat's butt? And what about the cat's testicles?"
"..." Suddenly, Chen Yan's cat body froze. He looked at the steaming warm water below, paused, and then silently retracted his front legs that had just been put into the basin...
