CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 76: MOVING INTO A NEW HOME

"Yes, let’s sprinkle some medicine on the grass," Zhuo Feng muttered through his nose.

"That won’t do, if the cattle and sheep die, we will have to compensate," Feng Xing disagreed, but looking at his wife, her eyes were glowing, seemingly serious.

"Auntie, that’s not necessary. Besides, we don’t need medicine, there are already things here that will keep the cattle and sheep from coming back," Xiao Xian said smilingly, glancing at the chewed-up fodder on the farm.

The next day, while Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing were taking Xiao Xian back to school, the group of cattle and sheep came again.

By Wednesday, Zhuo Feng excitedly made a call to Xiao Xian: "Success, the cattle and sheep went back and immediately vomited and had diarrhea. Now, the Milk Feed Factory’s people won’t dare to let their animals graze recklessly anymore."

Life at Sacred Heart Middle School continued as usual. Meanwhile, far away on the banks of Chishui River in Guizhou, on a river beach.

Yezi was puzzled as he inspected a small stone in his hand against the sunlight. The stone had just been handed to him by Fiji.

This morning, when the whole stone beach was still soaked in fog, Fiji woke Yezi up.

"You can leave the stone beach for Beijing now, but once in Beijing, I’d like you to find two people," after months of hard training, Yezi was now able to control a variety of insects and animals in the dense forest, including hornets.

The small stone given to Yezi by Fiji had a special name, "Fertility Stone". Following Fiji’s instructions, Yezi bit open his finger and placed the Fertility Stone on the wound. The stone, as if alive, began sucking.

After the stone had sucked enough blood, Yezi held the stone in his palm, closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them.

"What you see, those phantom beasts, are the creatures I tamed on Fertility Star. Although the creatures in there are phantoms, their Attack Power is real. You can slowly try to tame them for use in times of danger. You should also take the group of hornets from the forest; those hornets have gained sentience, and the honey they produce is quite beneficial to humans," Fiji spoke benevolently, a change from his usual harshness.

Yezi was somewhat flattered, but he took the Fertility Stone anyway.

"The people I want you to find, one is called Huang Tengchong, and the other is called Celeste. Huang Tengchong is the swindler who stole the Feng Bird from me, the bird of harvest. Any creature that hears the song of the Feng Bird can accelerate reproduction, but the extreme of everything is contrary, abundant reproduction in one place means poverty and famine in another. As for Celeste, she is my wife. After finding her, you don’t need to confront her directly, just quickly return here and tell me her whereabouts," after finishing, Fiji laboriously shifted his stone body, motioning Yezi to leave quickly.

Yezi felt a reluctance to leave in his heart. He walked to the giant rock, knocked three loud kowtows against it, then left the stone beach with Little Pig, who fluttered but refused to leave.

Before he left for Beijing, Yezi sneakily made a trip back to Dongnan Miao Village.

The reason for the secrecy was because he worried that if Mama saw him, she wouldn’t let him leave. Mama was pregnant again, and Yezi didn’t want to upset her. After hearing about the Feng Bird from Fiji, Yezi also realized that his trip to Beijing was no longer for a simple purpose.

When he reached the familiar suspension house, the lights inside had already been turned off. Just as Yezi was about to climb the stairs, Dahuang in the corner started barking vigorously.

"Shh, Dahuang, it’s me, don’t you recognize me?" Yezi called out, no wonder Dahuang didn’t recognize him, in the past six months, whether due to his potential being stimulated or the influence of old man Fiji, he had grown considerably taller.

He was already not short, standing at about 1.78 meters, but in these last six months, he had grown a full ten centimeters or more, already reaching over 1.90 meters.

Yezi’s height certainly made him a giant among the generally shorter Miao people, plus his ragged clothes, his very long hair, and his wilderness scent, it was no wonder Dahuang couldn’t recognize him.

Fortunately, Little Pig played its role once again, perching on Dahuang’s back as usual, something Dahuang knew. Whoever came with Little Pig, nine times out of ten, was Yezi.

Dahuang calmed down, Yezi scratched its neck, and having nothing to feed Dahuang, he quietly climbed up to the upstairs.

Just a few steps in, a moth with spotted wings flew by; Yezi thought, ’Here comes this trick again’, but alas, times have changed, ’I am not afraid of you anymore’.

With a slight shift in his mind, the moth obediently stopped in the corner of the window, clearly, the Beast Control Technique taught by the Fiji from Fertility Star greatly surpassed the Beast Driving Technique of the Red Locust Wizard.

Since ancient times, Fertility Star has relied on beast taming for livelihood, and the Beast Control Technique by the beastman Fiji has been passed down for thousands of years, far beyond what the Red Locust Wizard and Miao Village could compare to.

Yezi arrived outside his father and Mama’s bedroom, the window wasn’t closed – Mama still stuck to her old habits, preferring to sleep with the window open at night to avoid stuffiness, which conveniently benefited Yezi.

Yezi practiced the Beast Control Technique in several phases, including on land targeting mammals and birds, and in water against aquatic animals.

It also included practicing during night and day; after numerous sessions, Yezi’s night vision had significantly improved.

Although there was no light in the room, he could still clearly see his father and Mama’s faces. His father seemed a bit older, and Mama, due to her pregnancy, was lying on her side with her belly, sleeping restlessly.

It must have been over four months now, Mama’s belly looked quite large, Yezi really wanted to go in, to listen to the heartbeat of the sister or brother in Mama’s belly, but he couldn’t go inside.

Miao Saisong turned over in her sleep, having not been pregnant for over a decade, she was now considered an elderly primigravida, often having restless nights. This turning startled Li Quqi.

"What’s wrong? Feeling uncomfortable again?" Previously when Yezi was around, Li Quqi was not in Miao Village, but this time, for Yezi’s sake, Li Quqi dared not leave again and simply stayed at home.

Only then did he realize how painful pregnancy can be. In the first two to three months, Miao Saisong had severe early pregnancy reactions, vomiting badly every day; it only got slightly better after four months.

Miao Saisong sat up, looked out the window instinctively to see the bright moon; the outside Moso Bamboo rustled, "Did you hear Dahuang barking just now?"

"It must have been a wild cat or dog passing by, pointless barking, the village is quiet," Li Quqi helped his wife lie down again, potentially due to the pregnancy, Miao Saisong seemed more sensitive, last night she even dreamt that her son had returned.

After persuading his wife to lie down, Li Quqi, filled with pent-up frustration, went back to sleep. That rascal Yezi, when he returns home in half a year, definitely needs a good lesson, letting Little Pig bring back only a letter each month, how hard it is for the parents at home.

The room gradually quieted down, Yezi squatting, waiting until the sound of even snoring came from inside again, then he wiped the corners of his eyes, climbed through the window into his own room.
