Chapter 130 Sit in a row and eat fruit
"Uncle, everyone gets a share, do you want some?"
"Um, ah?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchuan looked up instantly, his eyes widening in surprise.
No way?
Is he hallucinating?
You must have misheard! Yes, you must have misheard!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"Uncle, here, take it."
Wenwen looked at Ye Jingchuan, who was stunned, and handed him a box.
He didn't forget to ask, "Uncle, are you eating now, or will you eat when we get to the mountain?"
"what?"
The realistic sensation in his hand brought Ye Jingchuan back to his senses.
"Oh, oh, this pie, uh, no, we'll eat this fruit on the mountain!"
"Okay, you can decide for yourself."
"I already told Lord Zhu yesterday that you will be going up the mountain to collect herbs for the next few days, and then you can go back to see Officer Chen for a follow-up examination in three days. Lord Zhu has agreed to let you come with me to collect herbs."
"What? We can go too?" This time, it was the Wen family's turn to be pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, you can go, but only three people are allowed to accompany you."
Wenwen clenched her hands, her smile reaching her eyes, "Uncle, when are we leaving?"
Ye Jingchuan walked to the side and lifted the curtain. "Let's talk about this when it gets a little brighter and the rain gets lighter."
Finally, he pointed to the fruit on the table and then to a few children.
The two little girls in the house looked at the fruit with frowns and expressions of disgust.
The other four little boys, however, did not show any signs of rejection.
Wenwen pulled the two little girls in front of her, took out some fruit, placed it in their palms, and put on a kind and gentle smile.
"Let me tell you, this fruit is sweet, not bad at all. I never lie. Why don't you give it a try?"
At this moment, Wenwen is just like the wolf in sheep's clothing who tempts Little Red Riding Hood; adding a flowery headscarf would make her even more so.
The two little girls were still a bit resistant, "Sister, we're afraid of turning into... turning into..."
"What will it turn into? Just a fruit."
“Turn into stinky rice! Hehe…” The two little girls suddenly pointed at Yao Xiaomi and burst into laughter.
Yao Xiaomi: "......"
These two younger sisters, really, what does it have to do with him? He didn't even say a word.
Furious, Yao Xiaomi grabbed a random fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, finishing it in a few bites. She couldn't resist smugly saying, "Cowards, afraid to even eat fruit? I'll eat it! I'll suffocate you all in a few days with the stench! Humph! So what if it stinks? After washing, it'll still be white and fluffy Xiaomi. My mom always says my dad's a stinky man, but he's still... mmm..."
Yao Changhao reacted quickly, covering his talkative son's mouth in time. "Son, go play after you've eaten. A good man doesn't argue with women. I've told you that many times, especially since they are your sisters. Do you understand the principle of being forgiving when you can?"
"Do you understand?" Yao Changhao confirmed again and again, and only let go of Xiao Mi's hand after she nodded. He didn't forget to tell her, "Go play. If you get sleepy, find your dad. Don't tire your mother out, understand?"
Yao Xiaomi nodded vigorously, agreeing verbally, "Mmm, mmm, mmm!"
The other boys followed suit, picking up the fruit themselves and offering their comments after eating.
"Mmm, it's so sweet!"
"Oh, it's so sweet!"
"Oh my, it's so sweet!"
The comments from the group made the two girls drool.
After the little girls finished eating, they each went to their mothers, nagging about needing hot water for their baths.
Only after her grandmother reassured and comforted her did she feel at ease enough to go play.
Therefore, all the men and children in the family had eaten the Mingling Fruit, except for the women and the older sisters.
Wenwen wants to treat everyone equally; she doesn't want her family to fight amongst themselves or cause a breakup.
"Grandmother, Mother, Aunts and uncles, sisters and cousins, I still have some fruit here. However, adults may have various reactions after eating it. Although there are examples to refer to, let's familiarize ourselves with the incantation more before eating the fruit. The success rate will be higher. What do you all think?"
"Wen'er is right. In my opinion, we still need to memorize the mnemonic."
No sooner had Grandmother finished speaking than a sweet, charming voice pressed, "Is it enough to just memorize it?"
A dozen pairs of eyes immediately turned to Wenwen.
Wenwen!
Although she's not a man, her words are always as good as their word! Besides, I'm not a stingy person.
"Okay, Sister Mai, keep it up! Everyone keep it up!"
The women suddenly became very enthusiastic, and were more eager than ever to recite the mnemonic verses.
They were probably attracted by the magic they showed off.
For the women of the Wen family, having fire and water made working in the kitchen incredibly convenient.
Forgive these women who haven't yet escaped the mindset of ordinary people. Worrying about the food and livelihood of their families has always been their goal. Once they experience life in the cultivation world, their thoughts will change.
Alright, things at home are all settled, the sky outside is much brighter, and the rain has lessened considerably.
With the approval of Lord Zhu, Ye Jingchuan, Wen Chengjian, Wen Chengbin, and Wen Wen set off up the mountain.
Climbing a mountain during the day definitely allows you to see more clearly and farther than at night.
The group followed the same path and ran quite a distance in one go.
The Wen siblings used spiritual power, but Ye Jingchuan's speed was in no way inferior.
Wen Chengbin glanced at Ye Jingchuan beside him and, without any regard for seniority, joked, "Uncle, not bad! It seems you've really mastered the Shedding Skin Technique. When you use your spiritual power tomorrow, we might not even be able to catch up with you."
Ye Jingchuan picked up the conversation, "Who knows? You guys'll have to work even harder, or you'll fall behind and become a laughingstock, hahaha..."
"Hehehe..."
The group chatted as they ran, and soon reached the top of the mountain.
Wenwen found a dry spot downwind on the mountaintop, took out a tent, and the group worked together to set it up.
"Uncle, after you've eaten the fruit, you can meditate here. When you wake up, you can go into the tent to wash up. Don't worry, we'll be here to protect you."
"Protect me?"
"Yeah, what if wild animals come? Can we fight them?"
Ye Jingchuan: "......"
That makes sense!
But he wasn't easily intimidated, was he? He'd had his share of glory back then, well, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my nephews!"
"Uncle, don't worry!"
On this mountaintop, the weather is sunny and breezy, while on the opposite mountaintop, a light drizzle is falling, creating a stark contrast between the two.
Ye Jingchuan swallowed the fruit in two gulps, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to meditate.
He was also a martial artist, and was very familiar with the concepts of calming the mind and focusing the energy in the dantian.
Ye Jingchuan silently recited the incantation in his mind and guided the Qi to his Dantian according to the incantation.
As time passed, he felt the surrounding gas gradually increase, and it seemed that spiritual particles, which Wen Qilin and the others had mentioned, had also appeared. He had felt this before when meditating, but it was not very obvious. He did not expect that this time the feeling would be particularly strong.
Ye Jingchuan focused his mind and, following the incantation, guided the particles closer and closer.
Sure enough, a miracle happened. With the help of the Mingling Fruit, a large number of spiritual energy particles were attracted. Finally, hard work paid off, and the spiritual energy particles rushed into his body.
