"Aaaaaah, my house has been robbed! Those awful humans!!!"
Shen Banxia looked at Zhou Mingqian and asked, "Did you hear any strange noises?"
"What strange sound? No, what's wrong?" Zhou Mingqian asked with a puzzled look.
"It's okay, I probably misheard," she said. But as soon as she finished speaking, "Damn it, those are my peanuts, mine, mine!"
Shen Banxia felt that there was something wrong with her ears, even though she hadn't seen any other people or creatures.
"Aaaaaah, you damned female human, my tail!"
Shen Banxia subconsciously lifted her foot.
"You're smart to know your place."
Shen Banxia looked down and saw a dark field mouse with round, bean-sized eyes staring intently at her.
"Hmph, you female, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome male before?"
Shen Banxia twitched her lips, looking at the field mouse that she could easily crush with one foot. Its arrogant demeanor and menacing air made her want to show it the world's diversity if she hadn't been puzzled as to why she could hear the field mouse's voice.
"Ahhhh, field mouse! Sister Xia, catch it quickly!" Gou Dan's joyful scream rang out, filled with a longing for meat.
Others followed suit and gathered around.
Upon seeing this, the field mouse darted away in a flash, leaving only a dark afterimage behind.
"Waaaaah, it's gone, Sister Xia, the meat is gone." The meat was once right in front of us, but now it's gone.
With tears streaming down his face, Gou Dan silently handed Shen Banxia a piece of fruit candy, saying, "Here you go."
Gou Dan stopped crying and started laughing, "Hehe, thank you, Sister Xia."
Zhou Mingqian rubbed Gou Dan's head and said, "You little rascal, your Sister Xia is my wife. Remember to call her Aunt Xia from now on."
Shen Banxia rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "What a childish man."
While picking up peanuts, Shen Banxia was still pondering that arrogant rat.
After returning home, Shen Banxia began to think about the next steps in stockpiling goods.
"Hey, female, can you understand me? Can you do me a favor?"
Looking at the field mouse emerging from its hole, she said, "Give me a different name. Forget about females, I'm called Chen Banxia."
The arrogant rat was surprisingly flexible at this moment, pleading, "Banxia, please help me!"
"What do you need my help with?" Shen Banxia was genuinely curious.
“My friend is injured. I smell medicinal herbs on you. You can definitely save him. Besides, I tried, and only you can understand what I’m saying,” the arrogant rat said logically.
Seeing that Shen Banxia didn't speak, he became arrogant and impatient, "I can give you things, I won't let you help me for nothing."
Having lived in the human world for a long time, it understands transactions between humans quite well.
"What can you give me?"
"I have some good food stored up, and I can share a burrow with you later," the arrogant rat said, offering his reward.
"make a deal".
The man and the mouse, engrossed in their transaction, were completely unaware that another person had entered the room.
Until, "Wife, Xiaxia, what, what's wrong with you?"
In his line of sight, a dark field mouse, no bigger than his palm, stood upright like a human, its forelimbs gesturing incessantly, while his wife chatted with it as if it were a human.
Well?
Shen Banxia was stunned; she had truly been careless. However, upon seeing that it was Zhou Mingqian, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the appearance of the light screen script, which allowed her to understand the field mice's speech, Shen Banxia didn't think it was a big deal. So, she was so immersed in the joy of trading with the field mice that she completely forgot to be wary of her surroundings.
"Hmm, let me explain. During the day, didn't I ask you what strange noises you heard? It was around that time that I suddenly started hearing them," Shen Banxia said, still confused.
Zhou Mingqian immediately bolted the door to the room, then looked at his wife who was explaining and the seemingly frightened field mouse.
"What could a field mouse want from you?" Zhou Mingqian asked, puzzled.
"Call me to save its friend."
"It really has good taste," Zhou Mingqian thought, thinking the field mouse had a pretty good eye.
Seeing Zhou Mingqian's proud expression, Shen Banxia didn't find it unacceptable, even though it was by accident that he found out.
However, seeing his calm expression, I thought, "Aren't you curious? You accepted it so easily? Don't you think I'm a monster?"
Zhou Mingqian put his arm around his wife and said, "Don't you believe me? No matter what you are like, your place in my heart will never change."
"I believe."
Shen Banxia truly trusted Zhou Mingqian; she wouldn't have kept it from him if the script on the screen hadn't been so difficult to explain.
"Can't you guys show me some respect?" the arrogant rat jumped up and down.
"Where do you want me to go to rescue them?" Shen Banxia asked curiously.
"Hold me in your arms, and I'll lead the way."
Shen Banxia politely declined, for she had not forgotten that she was pregnant.
"Ugh, you wretched human! What kind of look is that? I'm not dirty!" The arrogant rat immediately bristled.
It was a real case of being furious.
"I'll carry you," Zhou Mingqian said, not trusting his wife to carry the field mouse. He decided to do it himself, even though the mouse looked quite clean.
"Alright," it said demurely, extending its forelimbs.
Zhou Mingqian swore he was absolutely not mistaken; the disdain in that damned field mouse's beady eyes couldn't be more obvious.
Knowing that it could understand human speech, I said, "Get this straight, you're here to ask my wife for help. If you dare to complain about me again, I'll tell my wife not to help you anymore."
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak—", the field mouse, its body trembling, clearly cursed very filthily.
"Honey, what did it say to me?"
"Guess?" Shen Banxia was too embarrassed to say, this field mouse was too arrogant.
He even dared to challenge Zhou Mingqian to a duel.
"I won't guess, they definitely didn't say anything nice. Honey, maybe we shouldn't help them," Zhou Mingqian advised.
It bared its teeth arrogantly, jumped around, and made squeaking noises.
Zhou Mingqian couldn't help but clench his fists so tightly they cracked.
Seeing the childish appearance of the man and the mouse, he said, "Alright, little field mouse, lead the way. Zhou Mingqian, you carry him."
Both the man and the mouse fell silent.
"Honey, how about I go and take a look first?"
"Banxia, my friend is almost beyond saving."
The words "Heal your field mouse friend and gain merit points" appeared on the light screen that neither the field mouse nor Zhou Mingqian could see.
Merit points are equivalent to the life of the child.
"Alright, lead the way quickly," Shen Banxia said decisively.
Zhou Mingqian, carrying the field mouse, resignedly followed, hiding it in his pocket to avoid being discovered by outsiders.
Fortunately, there were few people outside at the moment, as everyone was busy harvesting their own plots of land.
Otherwise, the squeaking sound was really hard to describe, even as Shen Banxia explained.
Zhou Mingqian felt that his grandfather had chosen a good location, at the foot of the mountain, which made it easy to go up the mountain.
Yes, they were walking uphill. Shen Banxia was glad that she had consciously exercised, and that her son was doing a great job too.
However, when they saw the field mouse's friend, the two were dumbfounded.
