Chapter 132: Different Reactions, Slaughtering Pigs and Eating Meat
After the Wen family children ate the fruit, they began to feel sleepy one after another before they had even had enough time to play for a short while.
Feeling sleepy is good; it means the fruit is starting to work. The children all go back to their mothers and lie down to sleep.
The room quickly quieted down as the noisy laughter of the little ones subsided.
The adults were all busy with their own things, whether it was doing crafts, reading, or practicing meditation. In short, apart from the children, no one else had a moment to spare.
However, the good times didn't last long. In less than half a day, several children began to exhibit strange phenomena, and each child's condition was different, differing from the descriptions in the book.
Indeed, fruits are rare in this world, and people are all different. Just as the same rice feeds a hundred different people, the same fruit can elicit a hundred or a thousand different reactions, which is not surprising. This makes it impossible for the Wen family to find a reference.
Among the children, Yao Xiaomi was the first to react.
Right now, Yao Xiaomi was burning up, constantly muttering "hot, hot, hot," and her little body was rolling around incessantly, as if she were having a nightmare.
The adults didn't dare to wake him up; they could only fan him to cool him down and be careful that he didn't move around and kick his friends.
Then there's Wen Chengmo. This little guy doesn't talk much and is like a nobody, always sticking to Ye Shi's side.
At this moment, his body showed no signs of discomfort, but his reaction was unexpected.
He was probably having a sweet dream, a smile on his lips, calling out "Mother" every now and then, laughing a few times afterward, then calling out "Mother" again, laughing a few times, and repeating this over and over.
At first, Ye responded, but after answering too many times, she was caught in a dilemma of whether to respond or not. In the end, she hardened her heart and stopped responding no matter how Wen Chengmo called her.
It's like trying to put down a gourd only to have another one pop up; before one problem is solved, another one arises.
Before Wen Chengmo's laughter had even finished, Wen Chengjing, a little boy who dreamed of eating chicken legs, started to cry.
He cried and asked for his mother, saying he wanted to eat chicken legs.
Wei replied carelessly, "Okay, I'll give you two chicken legs when you wake up. Go to sleep, be good, and you'll have all sorts of dreams."
In his dream, the little guy was eating a chicken leg, smacking his lips, grinding his teeth, crying a little, then wanting another chicken leg, and then smacking his lips and grinding his teeth again. Wei Shi answered him a few times and then stopped paying attention.
For a moment, the room was filled with the voices of several boys—shouting, laughing, and crying.
Just as everyone in the room was dumbfounded, Wenwen's younger brother, Wen Chengyu, was even more amazing.
This kid must have listened to Wenwen's songs so much that the lyrics have become brainwashing him. While his friends were making a ruckus, he actually stood up with his eyes closed and sang loudly, "I want to fly higher, fly higher..."
After singing two lines, he shouted, "Sister, wait for me, wait for me!"
After shouting, he closed his eyes and ran towards the door. This was quite alarming, as he was about to step out of the house before the adults could react.
Just then, the group of people coming down the mountain came in from outside.
When Wenwen saw her younger brother standing at the door, she thought he had woken up and had come to greet them.
Just as Wenwen was about to speak, Ren hurriedly reminded her, "Shh, Wen'er."
At this moment, Wen Chengyu closed his eyes and shouted, "Sister, wait for me, wait for me." His hands were waving wildly, and he just happened to grab Wenwen's sleeve.
The people who had just entered were completely bewildered and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Wenwen was even worse.
What's happening here?
Her younger brother was tugging at her sleeve, and she couldn't just ignore him.
Helpless, she took her sleepwalking brother's hand and gently coaxed him, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you, I'll definitely wait. Go to sleep, be a good girl."
She gently led the child back to lie down, soothing him and making a series of promises until the child finally fell into a deep sleep.
The other mothers, seeing this, also patted and comforted their own children.
After some effort, the boys' condition gradually stabilized, and they fell into a deep sleep.
The people in the room looked at each other and covered their mouths to chuckle.
"hehe......"
The children's performance was truly an eye-opener for them.
After Wenwen stopped laughing, she gestured towards the two little girls with the corner of her mouth, "What about these two?"
The grandmother, sitting next to the two little girls, breathed a sigh of relief. "They're very well-behaved. They're just sweating, nothing serious."
Wenwen was praying in her heart, hoping so.
She had great confidence in the fruit in the space; either it would have no reaction, or it would be even more unexpected. Just wait and see.
But as night fell, the girl didn't react at all; both of them were quiet and just sleeping.
Wenwen once lost her ability to judge the quality of the fruit produced in her online space.
However, once midnight arrives, the fruit's remarkable properties immediately become apparent.
At midnight, the breathing of several children suddenly stopped, and they appeared to be fast asleep.
If the Wen family hadn't anticipated this, they would have been in a complete panic.
Once midnight passed, the Wen family members went up the mountain in shifts to cultivate, with each family member taking turns to go out. No one could slack off, and everyone was very enthusiastic, so no one would miss such an opportunity.
No one in the Wen family knew about their nightly efforts.
The next day was another rainy day.
Ye Jingchuan led a few people out early in the morning to collect herbs in the mountains.
The group moved to another location to continue their cultivation. When they got tired, they would rest for a while before continuing.
He honed his magic through repeated practice.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Jingchuan led the group to explore the mountains, collect herbs, and give lectures.
The Wen family members in the treehouse still spend their days reading, reciting, and absorbing theoretical knowledge.
Several children lay quietly in the corner.
At night, the family members would go up the mountain in shifts to practice their spiritual cultivation.
The third day was exactly the same.
Soon, the three days that Ye Jingchuan had promised were quietly coming to an end.
......
As night fell, the wind and rain stopped, and the sky was filled with twinkling stars. On their way down the mountain, the group even caught a large wild boar.
After returning, instead of going straight back to the house, they carried the wild boar directly towards the cave.
The soldiers and yamen runners on duty at the cave entrance saw the wild boar being carried by several men from afar, and their excitement was practically overflowing. They immediately started discussing it loudly.
"Wow, this big fat pig is really good!"
"There's so much meat, enough to last us a long time!"
"Dream on, do you think we'd get a share?"
"Doctor Ye is a generous man! I reckon we might be able to get a meal."
The noise outside instantly entered the tent.
Lord Zhu, who was waiting for Ye Jingchuan, hurriedly came out when he heard Ye Doctor mentioned outside.
From afar, he saw Doctor Ye carrying a basket and the Wen family carrying a wild boar.
Lord Zhu hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, send a few people to help."
Ye Jingchuan freed his hands, ran a few steps, and arrived in front of Lord Zhu, panting, "My lord, I have not failed you. The medicinal materials have been found, and the medicine has been prepared."
Ye Jingchuan paused for a moment, then said, "Also, we happened to hunt a wild boar on our way down the mountain. Let's all have a good meal together tonight, and if the weather clears up tomorrow, we can go down the mountain and into town!"
Lord Zhu could not hide his excitement and agreed, "Yes, let's have a good meal and go down the mountain to town tomorrow."
