"People change, and I am no exception."
…
Hua Shi remained very calm in the face of Hua Yu's suspicion.
The person who raised the question seemed to be just saying it casually and had no intention of asking further questions.
The two people who reached a consensus went back to their rooms.
…
Early in the morning, the Hua family courtyard was exceptionally quiet. In the past, at this time, the noise was either Li's loud voice or Li's muttering.
When Hua Shi opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. The sunlight coming in through the window lattice was warm and clear. It was quiet outside the house, surprisingly quiet.
"Meow..." The black cat lying beside her pillow turned over, dozed off, slowly opened its eyes and looked at her.
Hua Shi turned over and got up, and his attention was immediately attracted by an unknown object on the ground.
"What's this?"
Hua Shi bent down and picked up a sharp and thin thing that looked like a mouse's tail, and her eyes fell on the black cat.
"Meow……"
The black cat meowed, and when it looked at the flowers, it suddenly buried its head in the pillow, feeling guilty as if it wanted to hide itself.
"Is this your doing?" Hua Shi pinched the mouse's tail and walked towards the black cat.
"Meow……"
The black cat that was dragged out with one hand blinked its big blue eyes, looked at the flowers innocently, and meowed as if to say it didn't know.
Hua Shi patted its head and said, "Playing dumb again."
After raising the black cat for two or three days, she had learned almost all of its habits.
This guy likes to play dumb the most. Most of the time, he can understand what she says, but he pretends not to know.
Hua Shi followed its gaze and saw the open wardrobe door. A light suddenly lit up in her head, and she suddenly remembered the mouse trapped in a cage inside.
I took a few steps to check, and "bang..." the small cage leaning against the closet door rolled out and fell to the ground. It was empty, and there was no mouse inside.
"Did you eat it as food?" Hua Shi stared at the black cat that had jumped to the ground.
“Meow, meow…”
The black cat raised its head and meowed several times.
Hua Shi immediately guessed the meaning of its call.
"If you're hungry, can't you find something to eat by yourself?" Hua Shi had a headache.
The black cat sat down on the ground, buried its head in its stomach, and made a lazy sound, "Meow..."
Hua Shi looked at the half-remaining rat tail, then looked down at the spring in his palm, a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
She had been observing the changes in the mice after drinking the spring water over the past few days. Since she put the mice in the cage, she had never fed them spring water again. She only fed them some ordinary water and soaked steamed buns.
At first, there was no change, but after three or four days, the mouse became noticeably slower and no longer clung to her finger eagerly...
Afterwards, without the blessing of the spring water, the clever mouse became no different from an ordinary mouse in a few days, and its strong and fat body shrank back to the size of an ordinary mouse.
Until yesterday, when she went to see it, the mouse had completely returned to its original state, gnawing at the cage in small pieces and was very wary of her approach.
This observation also made Hua Shi better understand the function of spring water. It can heal animal wounds, make animals that drink spring water more clever and clever, and also make animals grow fatter...
…
"I slept until noon again..."
Hearing the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, Hua Xiao, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, turned around, glared at Hua Shi, and muttered a complaint.
Hua Shi pretended not to hear, but immediately saw Hua's father sitting under the eaves not far away, frowning and fidgeting, and he would peek outside from time to time.
Hua Shi walked around him and went straight into the kitchen to find food. There was half a hard steamed bun in the basket on the stove, and the pot was so shallow that a little white porridge could be seen at the bottom.
Hua Shi was no longer surprised by it, so he silently filled a bowl and swallowed it down with some steamed buns.
When Hua Yu gets the money back from selling the rabbit, she won't have to eat steamed bread so bitterly anymore...
When Hua Shi came out of the kitchen, Hua Xiao had already swept the floor and was squatting next to the chicken coop, cleaning up the chicken poop.
Hua Li took his younger brother Hua Ying and huddled in the corner of the yard. He tried to talk to Hua Ying, but Hua Ying just lowered her head, snapped her fingers, and ignored him completely.
Hua Ciyuan, who was originally sitting under the eaves, had stood up and was pacing back and forth. Every once in a while, he would look up at the open gate of the courtyard, full of worry.
Hua Shi glanced around and looked at the corner on one side. He saw the axe embedded in the wood. He walked straight over, pulled it out, and held it in his hand to cushion it.
Hua Xiao was a little confused by her series of actions and asked bluntly, "What are you doing with the wood-cutting knife?"
Although the blade is rusty, the edge has been carefully sharpened and is not dull at all.
"I'm going to the backyard to cut some bamboo. Oh, and there are still quite a few bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Do you want to dig some up? They'll be delicious if you stir-fry them."
Hua Shi was talking to himself, and was already thinking about making a model of hunting tools in his mind.
Her grandfather was a carpenter, and she learned a little from him since she was a child. She now has some knowledge of these handicrafts.
First prepare the necessary tools, bamboo, knife, and put them in the house when you have enough, so as to avoid being discovered by Li and being scolded. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Hua Xiao watched Hua Shi's back disappearing around the corner, and thought of the bamboo shoots she mentioned. She felt a little eager to clean the chicken coop, and her hands and feet couldn't help but speed up a lot.
He can find edible food by himself, cook it and put it on the table, and share a few bites, and grandma won't say anything...
"Hey, Xiaoying, where are you going?"
Hua Shi had just left the front yard when Hua Ying, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly stood up and trotted towards Hua Shi.
Hua Li, who had been trying to talk to Hua Ying, was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his senses and called him "brother" several times, but Hua Ying ignored him.
"Xiaoying!"
Hua Xiao also heard the sound and saw a small figure running towards the backyard like a gust of wind...
