Quick Wear: True and False Life

Wei Nan and Zhou Jinghao arrived at the cave together and saw a wounded squirrel lying in front of Bai Xi. He touched it with his front paws and put it back when he heard a squeak. Was this to confirm whether the squirrel was still alive?

"Bai Xi, what are you doing?" Wei Nan communicated with Bai Xi in his sea of consciousness.

"I don't know. Lingxi picked it up."

"Did you just confirm that it's still alive?"

"Lingxi said she didn't want him to die."

"Where did Lingxi go?" Wei Nan looked around and asked curiously.

"It went hunting with your father-in-law and said it wanted to eat chicken." Bai Xi said as he raised his front paws to touch the little squirrel.

Wei Nan was tired of watching it. Even Zhou Jinghao went forward and squatted to watch. She couldn't go forward to take a look. This squirrel was quite good-looking. Could it be that this was the body that Lingxi found for herself?

She thought about it for a while and decided that no matter what the reason was, she should make sure it didn't die first. So she pried open the squirrel's mouth with her hands and fed it three drops of Linghe water to keep it alive.

After finishing, she ignored Bai Xi and Zhou Jinghao, broke the firewood she had picked up into shorter pieces, lit a fire, found the soup pot, washed it, and cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge.

"San'er, don't just stare at the squirrels. Pay attention to the porridge and stir it at any time."

After cooking the porridge and giving instructions to Zhou Jinghao, Wei Nan picked up a fish basket from the back of the car and took it to the lake to take a look.

She walked around the lake and found that there were no fish in the shallow water. However, there were many crabs and prawns in the grass in front. They were quite fat. Why would she need fish? She just needed to catch these two.

Wei Nan soon filled the fish basket, and then he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, but found no trace of fish. He waved his hand and cast a spell, and all the crabs, prawns, etc. were collected and carried downstream in the Space Spirit River.

She felt that she was not satisfied yet, so she glanced across the lake without looking around and just waved her hand to collect most of the fish. After all, no one lived nearby, so she just collected them.

After collecting the fish, I picked up the fish basket and walked back. I was lucky enough to pick up a few quail eggs. I decided to roast them when I got home. They must be delicious.

"Nannan, why are you alone, San'er?"

Wei Nan was walking halfway when he suddenly heard someone. He turned around and saw that it was his father-in-law. He was carrying a bunch of pheasants, and Lingxi was following behind him from a distance.

"In the cave, watching squirrels. Father-in-law, what is Lingxi doing in the back there?"

"He's dragging the snake, but he won't let anyone touch it and has to drag it away by himself." Zhou Yonghong was quite puzzled by this.

"Did it kill the snake?" Wei Nan wondered. Didn't it just pick up a squirrel? Why did it bring back another snake?

"Don't worry about him for now, Dad, clean up the chickens here and then go back!"

Not far from the cave, there is a stream that flows down the cliff. It should be ground water and is relatively clean. She plans to process crabs and prawns here. For crabs, she needs to remove the heart, stomach, intestines, and gills; for shrimps, she needs to remove the gills and shrimp threads.

"That's good. The water quality here is indeed good, clean and hygienic." Zhou Yonghong listened to Wei Nan's suggestion and checked the location.

The two of them were talking as they cleaned up. When they had almost finished, Lingxi finally caught up with them, only to see that he was gasping for breath from exhaustion.

"Is your snake dead?" Wei Nan said as he looked at the snake he dragged back.

"It had just died when I saw it. I thought it was quite beautiful, with fangs. It was so cool, so I cast a spell to seal its body and brought it back." Lingxi said excitedly.

"Then Zhou Yonghong is unwilling to propose it?"

"This snake is somewhat spiritual. Even though it just died, its soul still comes around. I was afraid that he would be affected by karma, but I didn't expect this old man to be unresponsive and wouldn't help afterwards." Lingxi was also very depressed when she said this. That old man is so annoying!

After listening to it, Wei Nan also thought it was very funny.

"Just forgive him! Men are generally straightforward, you should let him bring it up." After Wei Nan finished laughing, he told him directly what happened.

"Okay! Then you help me carry it back later. It's so tiring!" Lingxi said depressedly.

After Wei Nan saw Zhou Yonghong cleaned and skewered all the chickens, he also packed the cleaned crabs and shrimps, then helped Lingxi pick up the snake and left.

"Why does Lingxi ask you to help him carry the snake again?" Zhou Yonghong asked in confusion when he saw Wei Nan carrying the snake and Lingxi didn't react.

"Lingxi didn't let you lift it at first because he thought the snake wasn't dead yet and he was afraid it would bite reflexively. So he wanted you to stop helping him lift it later." Wei Nan found it funnier and funnier as he spoke.

"So that's how it is! It's really my fault for being slow to react." Zhou Yonghong found it funny and angry at the same time. What on earth was going on?

When they got back, the porridge was almost done. Wei Nan found the steamer in the car, steamed the crabs and shrimps, coated the chicken with seasoning and let it sit for a while, then prepared some dipping sauce and put it aside. After about an incense stick's time, Zhou Yonghong took down the steamer and roasted the chicken.

"San'er, Lingxi, Baixi, come and have dinner quickly." Wei Nan got a flat stone, put some dipping sauce and shrimps and crabs on it, served each of them rice and porridge, and told them to eat.

"I understand, Nannan." Zhou Jinghao said slowly. Although his reactions have been slower recently, his speech has become more and more fluent.

Zhou Jinghao and the two little ones came over. Zhou Jinghao sat on a rock and imitated his father Zhou Yonghong, peeling shrimps slowly. Wei Nan saw that he peeled shrimps very well, so he peeled one for his father-in-law and peeled a few more and put them in her bowl. Such progress was gratifying.

"Hey! I can actually eat the shrimps peeled by San'er, how great!"

"Father-in-law, there will be many good things in the future, you must take care of yourself."

Lingxi and Baixi only ate for the taste; they didn't like shrimps and crabs very much and were waiting to eat the chicken. Wei Nan ignored them and thought it was good himself, so he ate more.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

When Wei Nan had almost finished eating, the squirrel woke up and squeaked loudly, as if it had been frightened by something and had not yet reacted.

"Lingxi, you picked up this squirrel, what's going on?" Hearing this, Wei Nan simply got up to take a look and asked Lingxi.

"Seeing that he had great talent, and that he was injured, I picked him up again."

"Then keep it first!"

Wei Nan checked the squirrel's injuries, calmed the little squirrel down, made it drink half a solid pill, and then left it alone.

After the chicken was roasted, Lingxi and Baixi had big appetites and ate three roasted chickens in total. The three of them ate one and wrapped up the rest to eat when they were hungry in the car.

After eating, Wei Nan cleaned up the cave, added some firewood, and began to spread the hay he had found outside. He spread it thickly in two areas similar to the width of a bed, and then spread bedding on top.

After finishing, he said hello to Zhou Yonghong and took Lingxi and Baixi out for a while.

After walking for a distance, she entered a space in a secluded place on the edge of the cliff, kept the squirrel in the forest, and began to transform the snake's body. After the transformation, Lingxi was very satisfied. She thought it was very cool, and this snake had spiritual roots and could be cultivated.

After it was done, Lingxi attached a strand of her soul to it, leaving the snake in the space to practice, while she and Wei Nan left the space.
