When I woke up again, several hours had passed.
The sky outside was overcast, with rolling dark clouds and the rain continuing to pour down. The room was also somewhat dim and dark.
As soon as Luo Xinglan opened her eyes, she saw the frog cub and the little ear mouse snuggled together, fast asleep.
Outside, the wind and rain raged, but inside, all was peaceful and tranquil, a rare moment of leisure.
I glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock.
After Luo Xinglan got up and washed up, she went to the incubator to check on the chicken and duck eggs. Seeing that there was no change, she went to the kitchen to make lunch.
There wasn't much to do on a rainy day, so she started thinking about making something to eat.
After cleaning the river shrimp, I stir-fried them in oil, and they tasted very delicious. The river fish were deep-fried until they were so deep-fried that even the bones were edible. I also stir-fried a plate of cucumbers, opened a bag of roast duck, and roasted it in the furnace until it sizzled and dripped oil, and the aroma wafted far and wide.
Luo Xinglan didn't want to eat steamed buns today, so she heated up a bowl of rice—which she had obtained a few days ago, but it was cold, so she had kept it in her spatial storage cabinet without eating it.
After searching through the locker for a while, I found some Coke. I took out a bottle, washed some lychees, and lunch was ready. It had meat, vegetables, and fruit, which was quite a feast.
The little mouse had already smelled the aroma of roast duck and was waiting by the table.
Luo Xinglan couldn't find the froglet, and after searching the bedroom, she finally found it asleep next to the incubator.
This little guy, did he wake up in the middle of the night and then move to another place to continue sleeping?
Looks like you were really exhausted from that last trip.
Since the baby frog didn't like eating human food, Luo Xinglan didn't wake it up and let it continue sleeping.
She and the little mouse happily enjoyed their meal.
Take a bite of the crispy and crunchy river fish, and your mouth will be filled with freshness and aroma. Then take a bite of the stir-fried cucumber, which is refreshing and helps to cut through the greasiness. Finally, take a bite of the roast duck, and you'll be completely intoxicated by its delicious aroma.
After finishing her meal, Luo Xinglan washed the dishes and went back to bed.
When it rains, I feel lazy and don't want to move at all. I just want to stay in bed.
I was planning to explore the iceberg today, but I don't want to go anymore. Oh well, I'll just go tomorrow.
I hope tomorrow will be a good day...
Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Mingze suddenly sent her a private message: "Sister Lan, are you awake yet? I'll trade you the money I earned yesterday!"
Luo Xinglan: "That's what you earned after working hard all night. Why are you giving it to me?"
Jiang Mingze said weakly, "But you gave me the blueprints..."
Luo Xinglan: "Then just give me the money for the blueprints."
Jiang Mingze immediately traded 10,000 gold coins to Luo Xinglan.
Luo Xinglan: "..."
Isn't this kid a little too honest?
Oh well, let it be.
Luo Xinglan fell asleep again without realizing it.
When I opened my eyes again, it was completely dark outside, and the rain had stopped.
Luo Xinglan sat up abruptly. What time is it?
I glanced at the time, and it was already 6:30 PM?
I don't know if it's because I slept all afternoon, but I'm not hungry at all right now.
She picked up the flashlight and turned it on, only to find the froglet staring at her with its big, resentful eyes.
Luo Xinglan: "..."
Frog, are you trying to scare me to death?
Patting her chest, she resignedly got up to find food for the froglet; the little guy must be hungry.
I opened a bag of honey peanuts and poured them into a bowl. The little frog couldn't wait to eat them; it seemed it was really starving.
Luo Xinglan patted its little head and got up to go find the little ear mouse.
The little mouse was sleeping when it was woken up by the noise and is now rubbing its eyes with its paws.
Luo Xinglan asked, "Shushu, shall we have pastries tonight?"
After sleeping all afternoon, she felt dizzy and lethargic, and didn't want to move.
Let's just grab something to eat.
The little mouse nodded, its voice still a little sleepy: "Okay, I'll eat whatever you eat, sister."
Luo Xinglan held it and found several bags of pastries, including steamed cakes that the little mouse loved to eat, and Daoxiangcun rice cakes and coconut cakes that the frog had brought back.
Eating only pastries was a bit too dry, so Luo Xinglan boiled some water and drank it in small sips.
After dinner, she felt refreshed and energized.
The little mouse was clearly the same; it approached the incubator and asked Luo Xinglan curiously, "Sister, will chicks and ducklings come out of here?"
Luo Xinglan didn't know either: "Perhaps."
The little mouse said longingly, "When the chicks and ducklings are born, I can play with them!"
It used to have many small animals to play with at Uncle Liu's house.
Luo Xinglan suddenly looked at the little eared mouse seriously and asked, "Little mouse, are you usually very bored?"
She has her own things to do every day, and only takes the little ear mouse with her when she goes out to explore. The frog is not often at home, and it must be very bored without anyone to play with it.
She is now beginning to doubt whether bringing the little ear mouse here was the right decision.
If it stays on the island, it will have many small animals to play with, and the wild boars that have been hurting people have been killed. The island will be very safe, unlike now, with typhoons and torrential rains. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Facing unknown dangers every day, is this really the kind of life the little mouse wants?
The little mouse thought about it carefully before saying, "It can get a little boring sometimes..."
Luo Xinglan's expression darkened. Just as she thought.
The little mouse's tone suddenly became cheerful: "But I like being with my sister! She takes me on adventures, and I love adventures! I love my life now!"
After saying that, she jumped into Luo Xinglan's arms and said coquettishly, "Sister, don't send me away, I like being with you!"
