As for the little bun, he had no idea he'd been abandoned by his parents. At this moment, he was excitedly following Shen Yao around the space.
Shen Yao hadn't raised children before. The only thing she could think of was that as long as a child was tired, they would definitely sleep.
The space was safe, and the little chubby guy was still young. There was no need to worry.
As for the Shen family, they returned to their rooms and immediately drank the spiritual spring water.
Because it was undiluted spiritual spring water, the few of them soon fell to the ground in pain.
The pain was like all their bones being shattered at once.
In the deep mountains at this moment, a man in black, dressed in ancient costume, was hurrying through the mountains.
With a flash of movement, the man in black reappeared holding a plump wild rabbit.
Holding the rabbit, the man was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to remember something and quietly closed his mouth.
Then, he skillfully drew the dagger from his waist, cleaned the rabbit, and roasted it over the fire.
While eating the wild rabbit, the man's gaze suddenly turned to the distance. Not far from him, there were two wild wolves with glowing green eyes.
Wild beasts feared fire, so they only watched from afar, waiting for an opportunity to charge.
"Hoo hoo~"
The wolves also noticed that the man had seen them, emitting sounds from their mouths, looking extremely dangerous.
But the man showed no fear. Instead, he stared intently at the wolves, an invisible pressure emanating from him.
As if startled, the two wolves turned tail and fled in panic.
The man slowly finished the last bite of rabbit meat. After seeing water appear out of nowhere to extinguish the campfire, he stood up again and continued his journey.
It was unclear how much time had passed. When the rooster crowed, the Shen family members finally felt the pain in their bodies disappear, replaced by a sense of ease.
"Uh, what's that smell?"
At this moment, they also discovered the foul odor emanating from themselves.
Not only did it smell bad, but their bodies were also covered in black, greasy grime, as if coated in a layer of foul-smelling mud.
"Ugh, quick, all of you go wash up."
This scene took place in the rooms of Shen's father, Shen's mother, Shen Huaimin, and Ning Min.
Only Shen Huaisang, the single dog, because he had been in the army, had maintained his training even after returning. Therefore, the cleansing he received from the spiritual spring water was completely different from that of the rest of the Shen family.
His physical strength had been well stimulated in the army, so the spiritual spring water had a greater effect on him. After the pain subsided, he truly discovered his changes.
He paid no attention to what was on his body. His leg was now healed, not only showing no signs of difference but also being better than before he was injured.
After the shock, he then felt something was wrong with his body. A sniff almost made him faint.
After tidying themselves up, the Shen family members immediately opened their windows to air out the rooms. Having been tossed and turned by the spiritual spring water for most of the night, they finally fell into a deep sleep.
Sensing with his consciousness that his family had all fallen asleep, Shen Yao then hugged the little chubby guy and slept.
The next morning, Shen Yao was woken up by a slap from the little chubby guy.
Shen Yao jolted awake. She opened her eyes and saw that the little chubby guy had smeared her face with his saliva.
Shen Yao reached out, moved the little chubby guy aside, took out a tissue to wipe her face, and then carrying the little chubby guy, she went downstairs.
Shen's mother, Song Qiuwan, who usually woke up early, was also late today. By the time Shen Yao had prepared breakfast, everyone else had woken up.
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry. Sister-in-law woke up late today. And thank you for taking care of Tuanzi." Ning Min very apologetically took the little chubby guy from Shen Yao.
Although the little chubby guy liked his aunt very much, he also missed his mother intensely after not seeing her all night.
After being held by Ning Min, he clung to her, embracing her affectionately.
"It's no trouble at all. Tuanzi is so cute and well-behaved," Shen Yao said indifferently.
After speaking, she turned to Shen's father and the others and said, "How was it? The spiritual spring water worked well, didn't it?"
Hearing Shen Yao's words, the Shen family members nodded in agreement.
"The effect is more than just good. Look at your dad and me, we look like we've become over ten years younger."
Shen's father said happily. It wasn't just women who liked to become younger; men did too.
Shen's father and mother were actually in their late fifties to early sixties. Although their appearances were not bad, age was a factor. Coupled with the decline of the guesthouse business in recent years, they had aged several years faster than their peers.
But now, if they went out, no one would believe they were nearly sixty. They looked at most in their early thirties, not yet forty.
"Yes, yes, Yaoyao. Mom is so happy," Shen's mother said, her hand involuntarily touching her face.
"Then drink it a few more times, and you'll definitely be younger than you are now," Shen Yao said with a smile.
Of course, she was just joking. They wouldn't get much younger, as age was a factor. They couldn't possibly turn into young men and women.
"Still younger? No need. We're very good now," Shen's mother quickly replied. She wasn't greedy. If she became any younger, people would think she was a monster.
"And me! Yaoyao, look at my face. My scars are all gone."
Ning Min said excitedly, then rolled up her sleeve, revealing a smooth and delicate arm to the Shen family.
The Shen family all knew that Ning Min had several scars on her body, especially on her chest and back, where there were several large brands that looked like they had been burned by something.
Ning Min had actually been rescued from the sea by the Shen family. To be precise, Shen Huaimin had found her while catching crabs by the sea.
At that time, Shen Huaimin was only seven or eight years old. Like a fearless young calf, Shen Huaimin knew no fear. He walked over, saw a little girl, and quickly carried her home.
Shen's parents were terrified when their son suddenly brought a child back and immediately asked for an explanation.
Upon inquiring, they learned that she had been found in the sea. The couple quickly took the child to the hospital and also called the police.
After the little girl woke up, she remembered nothing else and only cried, not letting anyone get close. Only Shen Huaimin could get close to her.
The police had also investigated, but over twenty years ago, the system was not as complete, and since no one had reported her missing, it was eventually dropped.
They had originally intended to send her to an orphanage, but when the couple saw the child's body covered in injuries, indicating abuse, they decided to raise her themselves.
The name Ning Min was engraved on a longevity lock that she had written on her phone, so Ning Min did not take the surname Shen like the rest of the Shen family.
