Grandpa Chu and Uncle went to the mountain to pick mushrooms again.
They said they had seen a dead tree before, and after a heavy rain a couple of days ago, it must be covered in fungi. The two insisted on going back to see it again.
Who knew they would see wild Chinese toon trees in the mountains? The trees were too tall, and the two didn't want to cut them down, so they asked the bodyguard to come back and ask Wen Mo for a solution.
Not long ago, Qin Yushen led a training exercise and somehow picked some tender toon shoots.
I made Lin Xiaoxiao a stir-fried egg with toon leaves, and she ate a lot of it.
Seeing that she liked to eat, Wen Mo followed the bodyguard into the mountains and managed to pick a whole bagful after a lot of effort.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the white rabbit watching him from the entrance of the burrow. Its eyes were darting around, and it was clearly a clever rabbit.
It's perfect to catch it and raise it for my daughter to play with.
"Isn't it strange? I tried to catch it, but it didn't run away." Wen Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.
At first, he thought he had caught a silly rabbit and planned to release it.
But this guy just stuck to him like glue; wherever he went, it followed. It just wanted to go with him.
Lin Xiaoxiao pinched the rabbit's ears and said meaningfully, "Maybe this little guy has become a spirit."
The rabbit flinched.
It made two cooing sounds.
"They can't become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China." Wen Mo said, putting the rabbit on the ground. Sure enough, it didn't run away. "I think it's probably a stupid rabbit with something wrong with its head."
The rabbit wiggled its bottom.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth, "Since it's stupid, let's kill it and eat its meat. Keeping it is a waste of food."
The rabbit's body trembled and slowly stiffened.
Then, it carefully moved its legs and darted to the edge of the yard, where it ate the tender grass growing in the cracks between the blue bricks.
Its mouth was moving, and it was eating with great relish.
It didn't forget to look up at Lin Xiaoxiao and Wen Mo, implying that raising it wouldn't cost any food, as it was a herbivore.
This was the first time Wen Mo had ever seen such an intelligent animal, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"This guy probably can't understand human speech."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, "Maybe it really has become a spirit."
It's not a matter of chance; it's already become a spirit.
Perhaps they are animals that have just developed intelligence, with an IQ similar to that of a three-year-old child. They yearn for the outside human world, as the forest is too dangerous, and they want to find a long-term meal ticket.
Wen Mo didn't think much of it and dusted off his sleeves. "Your great-uncle picked a lot of fresh mushrooms and some toon leaves. There's half of them here. I'll have Xiao Qin cook them for you tonight."
Besides the rabbit, Wen Mo also carried a bag.
The bag contained the fruits of Uncle's labor after spending most of the day.
Lin Xiaoxiao really likes mushrooms, so she didn't refuse. "Okay, please thank Uncle for me."
Wen Mo laughed and said, "If Uncle knew you were being so polite, he would definitely be angry."
"Alright, Dad's going back now. Just call me if you need anything."
"Uh-huh."
Watching Wen Mo leave, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to the rabbit, "Come here."
The rabbit, which was sticking its rear end out eating grass, flinched, pretending not to understand, and continued eating with grunts.
"Disobedient rabbits will be skinned, chopped into small pieces, and stir-fried." Her voice was calm, with a hint of amusement.
"Coo coo coo..."
The rabbit's ears twitched, and it darted over in a flash, rubbing against Lin Xiaoxiao's feet in a flattering manner.
Her red eyes were wide open.
It's like saying, "Humans will eat me, but I'm very well-behaved."
Lin Xiaoxiao petted it and asked, "What was that big rat you were talking about?"
Just now she said that since it was a silly rabbit, she would kill it and eat it. The rabbit ran into the yard, muttering curses under its breath.
They insulted a big rat and tricked it by saying that humans are very friendly.
This big rat reminded Lin Xiaoxiao of the Rat King.
Since what happened with Lin Dashan, she hasn't seen the Rat King. Although she has released it back into its own, the clever fellow occasionally tries to trade her information for crystals.
She had thought it was dead since it hadn't appeared for so long.
The rabbit raised its head and babbled a lot. Lin Xiaoxiao extracted key information from its intermittent and incoherent words.
The Rat King was originally dedicated to developing his rat kingdom in the mountains, and he bred a lot of rats. However, he failed to establish a kingdom, but instead fattened up a lot of Snakes.
The dynasty's great cause collapsed midway.
The Rat King was very depressed, so he decided to wander the world.
Even though it had become a spirit and consumed a lot of Lin Xiaoxiao's crystals, the Rat King's lifespan was still shorter than that of a human. It no longer cared about building its own rat kingdom, but instead went to see different scenery.
When leaving, it encountered a rabbit and boasted to it about its experiences in the human world, saying that it had met a very kind human who not only didn't dislike it but also gave it delicious food.
The rabbit got the key information.
Humans are friendly.
The forest is too dangerous. The rabbit guards the entrance to its burrow every day, waiting for a human to take it away.
And so, they've become attached to Wenmo.
It was then handed over to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao patted the rabbit's head, "Being my little pet means you have to be obedient, clean, and not poop everywhere."
The rabbit happily spun around a few times.
Yay! It's a little rabbit with a long-term meal ticket now.
The rabbit went to the backyard, found itself a burrow, and settled down.
Perhaps it was the magnetic field around Lin Xiaoxiao's place that attracted small animals, because the next day, there was another tabby cat in the house.
It made Lin Xiaoxiao's place its permanent residence, leaving late and returning early every day. Every morning, the moment Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen opened the door, they would see different prey appearing in the yard.
Sometimes it's a bird, sometimes a mouse, sometimes a pigeon...
The little guy does it like a ritual offering, without fail, every single day.
Lin Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated. She and Qin Yushen named it Xiao Li.
After much persuasion, the little fox finally stopped bringing prey home and switched to bringing wildflowers instead.
Different wildflowers appear on the stone table in the pavilion every day, their vibrant colors signifying the four seasons of the courtyard.
Another week has passed, and Lin Xiaoxiao has reached her due date, but there is still no sign of labor.
She was already in the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he smiled and said, "The little one really likes the feeling of being in his mother's belly and doesn't want to come out."
Even though she was unwilling to come out, Lin Xiaoxiao still went into labor one night two days later.
She was pregnant with only one child and chose to have a natural birth.
At that time, only Qin Yushen was with her at the hospital. Even though it was a single room, there were limited beds, so Wen Mo, Wen Shiyu, and Uncle all went back to rest at night.
"Your cervix isn't dilated yet, so please get up and walk around." The delivery room was already being prepared. The nurse took Lin Xiaoxiao's blood pressure and gave her some instructions.
"Wife, does it hurt?" As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yushen wanted to slap himself.
What nonsense is he spouting?
Is there any childbirth that doesn't hurt?
