When she was placed on the ground, Hu Yu tried her best to rub her head against Lin Fan’s feet and wagged her tail to express her reluctance to leave.
Lin Fan wanted to keep Hu Yu to begin with. Now, he was even more reluctant to let Hu Yu go. “Brother, look at it. This puppy is fated with our family. How about I give a portion of my food to this puppy? It’s still so young. It can’t eat much. Moreover, when it grows up, it might be able to go up the mountain to catch the rabbits for us.”
Lin Jie didn’t like it. “Go back and ask Sister and see if she agrees.”
Their family was not rich. Instead of raising a dog, they might as well raise a hen.
Lin Jie did not look at Lin Fan’s pleading eyes.
Lin Fan carried Hu Yu in. Lin Xue was cleaning up the house. When she saw her two brothers return, she smiled and went forward. “Jie, Fan, you’re back so early. You even brought back firewood.”
Lin Xue was stunned when she saw the puppy in Lin Fan’s arms. “This puppy is really good-looking. Where did it come from?”
Lin Fan hugged Hu Yu. “Sister, this dog is very intelligent. I want to raise it, but Brother won’t let me.”
Lin Xue smiled. “If you want to raise it, so be it. When it grows up, it can fend for itself.”
Lin Fan immediately smiled. “Brother, Sister has agreed. Let’s raise the puppy together.”
Lin Xue touched Lin Fan’s head. “Keep it. It won’t eat much.”
Lin Fan nodded. He looked at Hu Yu and smiled. He reached out and touched her. Hu Yu also rubbed against his palm. The soft touch made Lin Fan’s heart soften a little.
He placed Hu Yu on the ground, wanting to play with her. Lin Jie stopped him and said, “It’s still a puppy. We can’t keep touching it. It won’t feel good. Since we’re going to raise it, let’s see where we should keep it.”
Lin Fan was very obedient. He immediately went to find a bucket and a tattered shirt to make a kennel for Hu Yu.
Hu Yu complained to Liu Yuanyuan, “This family is too poor. I don’t want to live here.”
Liu Yuanyuan hid in the dark and saw this scene. She said, “If you don’t want to stay, then leave. But think about it. Where else can you go?”
Hu Yu stopped complainning. She obediently crawled into the kennel that Lin Fan had specially prepared for her and lay down to express her satisfaction with her new home.
Lin Xue and Lin Jie took out the wild rabbit and pheasant from the basket. Lin Xue was surprised. “It’s so big. How did you catch it?”
Lin Jie scratched his head in embarrassment. “Perhaps I was lucky. I’ll get Father to sell it for money tomorrow.”
Lin Xue touched Lin Jie’s head. “Okay.”
After cleaning up the basket, Lin Jie went to call Lin Fan to go to the river.
Liu Sanniang watched as they met up with Lin Feng and Lin Cong by the river and caught river prawns together. They were extremely happy.
At dusk, the four of them went home together.
The forest fell silent.
Liu Sanniang felt something fall on her body. She looked over and saw a bird.
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Chu Yan’s voice came from beside her ear. “Sanniang, it’s me.”
Chu Yan became a bird.
Liu Sanniang couldn’t help but want to laugh. “Did others become like this too?”
Liu Yuanyuan was a snake, Hu Yu was a puppy, she was a tree, and Chu Yan was a bird.
Chu Yan nodded. “Zhou Hengsheng became an ox, and Zhou Yunyi became a hedgehog. Qing Mu is a duck in the village and Bai Anya is a chicken. 1 didn’t find anyone else. Perhaps they’re too weak and don’t have a consciousness.”
For the time being, he only found these people.
Liu Sanniang said, “What will happen in this village?”
Chu Yan replied, “I don’t know yet, but it shouldn’t be long before it happens.”
Liu Sanniang said, “What can we do? Can we only watch?”
Chu Yan was silent for a moment. “Perhaps.”
At least for the time being, they were still trapped here and could not leave.
As the night slowly receded on the horizon, a new day began.
There did not seem to be anything special in the small village. Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan lived in the Lin family. If anything happened, they could discover it immediately.
Liu Sanniang watched carefully and did not see anything.
She saw a farmer leading an ox out. The ox walked slowly and looked around.
Zhou Hengsheng had become an ox. He felt extremely oppressed and uncomfortable. However, this was an illusion. The illusion was like a cage, and they were people who had been captured by the owner of the illusion. They were locked up and were at the mercy of the master of this illusion.
Zhou Hengsheng had a feeling that something would happen in this village, but after being an ox for a few days, nothing happened.
He did not want to eat grass, but he was an ox and had to.
From time to time, he would look up and look around. He did not know what the others had become.
Zhou Hengsheng had been calling Zhou Yunyi for a long time. Finally, he heard a response. “Uncle, where are you?”
Zhou Hengsheng thought of what he looked like now and was angry, but he still said, “I’ve become an ox. If you see an ox, come over. That’s me.”
Zhou Yunyi was a hedgehog. She ran around and finally saw a yellow ox. Zhou Yunyi asked tentatively, “Uncle, I saw a yellow ox. Is that you?”
Zhou Hengsheng gritted his teeth and replied, “It’s me. Where are you?”
Zhou Yunyi soon arrived in the grass in front of Zhou Hengsheng. She said, “Uncle, do you see me? I’m a hedgehog.”
Zhou Hengsheng looked over and indeed saw a hedgehog looking at him with its black eyes.
“I saw you. Did you meet anyone else?”
They had all become animals, and the others were probably the same.
Zhou Yunyi shook her head. “No.”
They were not familiar with each other to begin with, so they couldn’t use voice transmission to communicate with each other.
Zhou Hengsheng knew what was going on. “Let’s not get separated for now and wait and see.”
Zhou Yunyi nodded. “Okay.”
Zhou Yunyi did not go far. She followed Zhou Hengsheng, but she had to be careful. She was like a hedgehog now. If she was discovered, she would probably be caught.
That would be more troublesome, so she had to hide herself well.
In a farmhouse, Qing Mu looked up at the yellow vegetable leaves thrown by the kind-looking old woman. The old woman said, “Eat, eat more and lay more eggs.”
Qing Mu was speechless and felt like he was about to break down. He had actually become a duck..
