Chapter 47 Strange Beasts
"Then why don't you see Yu'er coming over, she likes to play with ghosts the most." Granny Feng asked curiously.

"Um... Yu'er was too tired when she came back, and she has to take a break. Don't worry, I will have dinner at our house tonight." Grandpa Lei replied.

"Really, that's just right. I caught a strange beast on the road, and I'll make strange beast soup to make up for her later." Granny Feng murmured.

"What do I need to do?" Sima Ao asked.

"Grandpa Lei, whose child is this, he looks so handsome."

The appearance of Sima Ao surprised Grandma Feng. She was very happy to see the handsome Sima Ao. She felt that Sima Ao didn't look like a child who grew up in the wild, so she asked Grandpa Lei curiously.

"This little boy is under the seat of Emperor Wenchang—Wenqu Xingjun Sima Ao, who was ordered by Emperor Donghua to escort Yu'er back to the wilderness." Grandpa Lei replied.

"The junior Sima Ao has met Granny Feng, she is still so graceful!" Sima Ao bowed to Granny Feng.

"Hehe! You are very eloquent, kid. Come and help Granny Feng skin this strange beast."

Granny Feng threw the dead strange beast in front of Sima Ao, and saw that this strange beast looked like a deer and a sheep, and was smaller than a deer.

"This is the wild beast." Sima Ao asked.

"Yes, even though it looks docile, it is actually very wild. It took me a lot of effort to catch it."

Sima Ao picked up a sharp kitchen knife and peeled off the strange beast's skin.

As a civil servant, Sima Ao had such good sword skills, which made Granny Feng admire him.

"The boy is really good at swordsmanship, I really can't see it!" Granny Feng praised with her thumb up.

"To become Emperor Wenchang's seat, and to be admired by Emperor Donghua, how can I do without two brushes. Right kid." Grandpa Lei asked with winking eyes.

"Grandma Feng, Grandpa Lei, don't make fun of the younger generation. If you want to compare Sima Ao with Granny Feng and Grandpa Lei, it's like the distance between a buffalo and a mosquito."

"Don't tell me, sometimes buffaloes are not as good as mosquitoes, and they can sting you?" Granny Feng and Grandpa Lei laughed, they liked Sima Ao from the bottom of their hearts.

"Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng, what are you laughing at?"

Dongfang Yu'er came over after a short while, and found that Sima Ao was not in the room, thinking that it must be Grandpa Lei who came over!
"We like it so much, you are such a wishful gentleman! Hehe..." Grandpa Lei deliberately took the opportunity with a smile to tease Dongfang Yuer and Sima Ao.

Sima Ao was stunned, his face flushed slightly, and he cast a deep look at Dongfang Yu'er, the meaning was self-evident.

For Sima Ao's showing of love, Dongfang Yu'er was a little at a loss, shyly avoiding Sima Ao's weird gaze.

"! Isn't this a strange beast?" Dongfang Yu asked, changing the subject.

"It's a strange beast. Granny Feng caught it on the road. Later, I will cut out the meat and fry it, and make soup from the bones for you to drink." Granny Feng said happily.

"That's just good for my father's health!" Dongfang Yu'er said happily.

"Okay, okay! You all need to make up your body!" Granny Feng said with a cheerful smile.

"Sister Yu'er is back..."

Seeing Dongfang Yuer, the baby ghost shouted excitedly, and the youngest baby ghost burst into tears.Dongfang Yu'er picked up the youngest baby ghost and coaxed: "Little baby ghost, don't cry, sister Yu'er doesn't like you..."

Dongfang Yu'er is in charge of playing with these little ghosts; Sima Ao is in charge of adding firewood; Grandpa Lei is in charge of cutting meat and cooking; Granny Feng is in charge of cooking soup; the desolate Luohuang Village hasn't been this lively for a long time.

At meal time, Da Siming also got up and went to Grandpa Lei's house.

"You boy came just in time, let's have dinner!" Grandpa Lei laughed.

"Father, Yu'er will make you a bowl of soup!"

Da Si Ming nodded.

The baby ghosts are also clamoring for soup, maybe the firewood soup made by Granny Feng is too delicious, maybe staying in this barren wilderness, it is still quite difficult to drink a bowl of soup.

The frame of Grandpa Lei's house is built with trees, and the roof is covered with thatch. If only Granny Feng and Grandpa Lei lived, the house would still be big enough.There are three rooms, a living room and a small kitchen, plus a small yard.

But it was a little crowded for more than a dozen baby ghosts to live together, and the three rooms were given to the baby ghosts to sleep in. Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng only slept in the living room, so they could only eat in the small kitchen.

There is a big round table in the kitchen, and a dozen or so benches. The baby ghosts are all sitting on the benches, eating around the big round table.Dongfang Yu'er, Grandpa Lei, Granny Feng, Sima Ao, and Da Siming ate around the stove.

These baby ghosts are all reincarnated from hungry ghosts, and they vomited wolfishly while grabbing a big piece of meat with one hand. The little baby ghosts couldn't bite the big piece of meat by themselves, watching the big baby ghosts eating well, crying pitifully up.

"Oh! It's not easy to take care of you baby ghosts. Don't cry, don't cry. Fortunately, Grandpa Lei fried a small piece of meat for you."

As he spoke, Grandpa Lei put the small pieces of meat on the table. Grandpa Lei was afraid that these baby ghosts would not be enough to eat, so he fried some dry aunts with the small pieces of meat.With the smell of dry aunts, the little ghosts stopped crying and ate desperately with their hands. In the end, these baby ghosts were full and their bellies were round.

It was dusk after the meal, and it was time for the baby ghost to take a bath. Since the wilderness has been in drought for many years, water is very precious.Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng could only scoop up a few ladles of water to wipe the baby ghosts' bodies, and then urged them to go to bed early.

Because there are not only beasts and wolves in the wilderness, but also the junction of other worlds, which is full of evil spirits from other worlds.The night is long and dark, and it is not safe for baby ghosts to play there. For the safety of the baby ghosts, we can only let the baby ghosts go to bed early.

The baby ghosts have all fallen asleep, so Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng can be free and busy with their own affairs.At this time, Grandpa Lei likes to sharpen knives the most, and Granny Feng will mend clothes for baby ghosts.

Da Siming, Dongfang Yu'er, and Sima Ao chatted with Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng for a while, then said goodbye to Grandpa Lei and Granny Feng and went back home.

Da Si Ming is a quiet and serious person, and he went back to his room to rest after returning home.

There are only two rooms in this house, and Sima Ao will be the head of the department tonight.Dongfang Yuer brought Sima Ao a soft and thin quilt, because the temperature in the wilderness is very hot during the day, and it will become slightly cooler at night.

Sima Ao took the soft quilt from Dongfang Yuer, and stared at Dongfang Yuer blankly, his eyes were full of warmth.At this moment, Dongfang Yu'er's little heart was beating wildly, and both of them wanted to say something to each other, but they stopped talking.

During the long night, Sima Ao lay on the bed, tossing and turning without falling asleep, wondering why he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Dongfang Yu'er tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, a gust of wind came in from the window, Dongfang Yu'er simply got up from the bed.From the skirt, he took out the silk scarf that said "for whom the gardenia blooms, and for whom the gardenia falls".

Dongfang Yu'er didn't feel sleepy at all, she groped in the dark with curiosity aroused in her heart, walked lightly, and came to the living room with a guilty conscience like a mouse, to see if Sima Ao had fallen asleep.

Unexpectedly, the small bed in the living room was empty. Where would Sima Ao go in the dark night?
