Chapter 178 The More You Try to Lose Weight, the Fatter You Get
Wen Luozhi was surprised. There were so many people watching them, and she just wanted to call the person away. She didn't expect that the person would actually go and collect firewood.
"I've picked up some firewood for you," Lin Feng said awkwardly, lowering his head and avoiding Wen Luozhi.
He looks so disheveled and filthy now, he might scare the young girl.
As he passed by, Wen Luozhi heard a rhythmic gurgling sound, and Lin Feng was so embarrassed that he gripped the ground with his toes.
Having gone up and down the mountain, his stomach was almost empty, and he wanted to hurry back to the cave to eat the wild fruit he had just picked.
"Since you're already here, just wait here!"
Wen Luozhi glanced at the bundle of firewood, then at the hunched-over Lin Feng, and ran into the house to get food.
Li Chunxing was just about to deliver the food when she saw her come in and quickly poured her a glass of water. "Little sister, sit down and eat. Your sister-in-law is going to deliver food to your older brother and the others."
Wen Luozhi gulped down the water in two gulps. "I'll go deliver it. Sister-in-law, did you leave any food?" she asked, noticing that there was still quite a bit of food left on the table.
Li Chunxing smiled and nodded, "I'll eat what you ordered for me. My second brother and sister-in-law are eating, and this is all extra."
Wen Luozhi understood, took a bowl, scooped two spoonfuls of rice into it, added the vegetables, and also a multigrain steamed bun.
Li Chunxing was much bolder now. Seeing this, she asked, "Little sister, what are you doing? Isn't it enough? Should I cook a couple more dishes and bring them over in a bit?"
Wen Luozhi shook her head vigorously, and before telling her about what happened at the threshing ground, she added, "When Second Sister-in-law comes out in a little while, Eldest Sister-in-law, have her bring in the firewood from the doorway. I'm going to deliver the food."
Yang Guilan originally wanted to go with them to the autumn harvest, but Wen Luozhi made her stay at home to prepare for Wen Zizhong's work. After telling Li Chunxing to rest well, she went out with a basket and a bowl.
Lin Feng stood under the big tree, looking rather reserved. He had wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the food made him reluctant to say no.
When he saw Wen Luozhi bring out the food, he wanted to run over, but then he felt it wasn't appropriate, so he just stood there.
Wen Luozhi handed him the large bowl in her hand, saying, "Eat it while it's hot. You don't need to return the bowl; you can keep it!"
After saying that, she walked towards the threshing ground, but then, worried that Lin Feng would eagerly go to work, she turned back and said, "Exchange this food for that bundle of firewood. Go back and take good care of yourself; you don't need to come back."
If she didn't say that, this back and forth would go on and on, and it wouldn't be good if someone saw it. Not to mention, if this person really had ulterior motives, her family would be in danger.
Lin Feng, holding the bowl, sniffed around and smelled a sour, rancid odor emanating from himself.
He wrinkled his nose in disgust. He would boil water and wash himself properly when he got back to the cave, because he did smell really bad.
Watching Wen Luozhi's figure recede into the distance, he pursed his lips. Once he was ready, he would go into the mountains again.
Let's see if we can get lucky and catch some more wild animals. If we do, we'll give some to them, and we can exchange the rest for silver depending on whether the villagers need it.
If that doesn't work, he'll take it to town to sell!
He would need to prepare a lot of travel expenses to return to the capital, and who knows when he would be ready.
Lin Feng sighed silently and carried the large bowl of food back to the cave where he was staying.
Ah Fu was sitting on the edge of the field eating his rice, but he seemed to have lost his appetite for the meat in the bowl.
Upon seeing Wen Luozhi approaching, he quickly turned around, shoved the rice in his bowl into his mouth in a few bites, put the bowl down, and continued working.
"My dear husband, is the boy alright?"
The village chief's wife had been keeping an eye on her youngest son, and she saw that he had finished eating and was now working hard without taking a break.
The village chief tapped his bowl dismissively and said, "What could possibly happen to someone who has no worries about food or drink?"
"When you get back, get ready. Tomorrow, take these things to Old Zhang's house and sound him out."
Find a girl soon to tie that brat's heart down, then he won't have time to think about this and that.
While enjoying the delicious food, Wen Zixun couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, where is that person from this morning?"
Wen Luozhi swallowed a mouthful of rice, shrugged, and said, "He delivered a big bundle of firewood to our doorstep, and I gave him food in return."
Wen Zixun scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions. He just hoped that no one else would come over; it was really difficult to deal with.
For several days in a row, a pheasant or a rabbit would appear at the entrance of the new house. No matter how big or small it was, the entrance was always busy as soon as the gate was opened in the morning.
"DouDou, what has that person been doing these past few days?" Wen Luozhi patted Lang Batian's head and asked.
That guy hasn't come since that day. She was afraid something might happen, so she had Lang Batian keep a close eye on him. So far, nothing has happened.
Wolf Overlord lay sprawled on the ground like a giant duck, not even lifting his eyelids as he lazily replied, "What can you do all day? Just hunt, of course."
"And you're so stupid!" It said with obvious disdain.
If it weren't for being bored and chasing pheasants and rabbits in the shadows, that guy would have starved to death in that cave long ago. How could he still be putting things at his doorstep every day?
I don't know how he made that roasted rabbit, it was terribly fishy! After it stole a bite once, it never craved it again.
Homemade food is still the best! If it has to keep an eye on that person, it will definitely beg for more food to reward itself!
Its fur seemed to be covered with a faint golden light in the sunlight, and Wen Luozhi couldn't help but ask it, "How much longer until you can become a human?"
It's not that she wants to see it, it's just that this guy is eating too much and is so fat now. He should eat less when he becomes human, right?
Mentioning this wolf, Batian immediately perked up. It stood up, shook its body, and its snow-white fur looked incredibly fluffy.
Wen Luozhi reached out and stroked the wolf's head. At this moment, the wolf's eyes were still black, and it looked just like a purebred Samoyed.
"I've been feeling incredibly powerful lately, but when I'll be able to turn back into a human is another question."
The "it" naturally refers to the system. Now, the tasks, big and small, are updated very quickly, and Wen Luozhi is completing tasks faster and faster, with her points almost exceeding the limit.
The system has been upgraded, and the interface has changed to a black and gold color scheme that looks shiny and high-end.
"System, system, when will my spirit pet finally become successful?"
It's already quite successful; its luck is off the charts, it's just a little lazy, a little chubby, and a little narcissistic.
The system's lazy voice rang out, surprised that its host had actually managed to level it up to level three.
Now it's considered one of the top systems, so it needs to trick its host into giving it some challenging tasks to earn more money to level it up.
Wen Luo's lips twitched at the sound of the mocking voice; the fat wolf did indeed possess an aura of good fortune.
When it goes out with its family, it always brings back something. Because of the time it chased so many wild boars back, some villagers even wanted to borrow it...
Previously, my sister-in-law accidentally fell when she stepped over the threshold. This guy was lying down and sleeping under the threshold, so she landed directly on his soft flesh, but thankfully, she was unharmed.
The family was terrified but praised it highly, saying how sensible it was to sleep right on the doorstep.
Who would have thought it was because it was too fat to cross the threshold and go inside to sleep...
Since then, the whole family has cherished it dearly, especially the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
She said that the reason why this guy was getting fatter and fatter despite trying to lose weight was because her sister-in-law was worried that he would go hungry and gave him extra food!
