Sihwa, who usually ignored Zhang Zian's calls, immediately swam to the shore and stretched out her hand. "Where's my phone? Give it to me! "
"Don't be in such a hurry to play with your phone. I have something more fun. Do you want to participate?" he asked, squatting down.
Sihwa, who was as playful as a child, was immediately attracted. "How do we play? What do we play? Is it hide-and-seek? I really want to play hide-and-seek, but you guys don't call me! "
"Cough! There's no way to play hide-and-seek … You're either in the bathtub or in the sea. How can we play hide-and-seek with you? "He spread his hands helplessly.
If Sihwa could play hide-and-seek, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"What is it?" She lost most of her interest.
"Actually … it's similar to hide-and-seek."
Zhang Zian explained his plan to Sihwa. What she had to do was very simple. Even with her IQ, she could understand it.
Back in the deserted village, he called all the elfins outside and discussed his plan with them. Although it wasn't an impeccable plan, he couldn't think of a better one at the moment.
Dinner was much earlier than usual. Before the sky turned dark, Zhang Zian put the roasted raccoon and rice on the table, then went to the bedroom to wake Megan up.
She had already fallen asleep with Snowy Lionet in her arms. She slept so deeply that he had to call her a few times to wake her up.
Megan was famished, and just the smell of barbecued meat wafting from the dining room caused her eyes to light up like a hungry wolf. She sat down at the dining table and grabbed a roasted raccoon with both hands before tearing it apart and stuffing it into her mouth.
If it was someone else who had been starving for so many days, they wouldn't look any better. If she ate as much as she wanted, she could eat an entire raccoon. Zhang Zian was so scared that he quickly snatched it from her hands.
It wasn't that he felt bad for the raccoon. There were so many of them that he could just let the wolves catch them. However, her stomach was used to a light diet. If she suddenly ate too much greasy food, she wouldn't be able to digest it. She might even have a stomachache, so Zhang Zian told her that he would only let her eat half a raccoon. She had to eat rice and meat, eat more wild vegetables and fruits, and try to chew slowly.
Megan knew he was right and tried to control her appetite.
When she had eaten for a while, and the sugar had filled her bloodstream, and her face was rosy and her mind was sharper, it occurred to her to ask, "What kind of animal is this?"
Zhang Zian told her the truth.
At first, she thought it was venison, but when she heard that it was raccoon meat, her expression instantly twisted. But it was only for a moment, and then she reached out to grab the meat again. She even sucked the grease off her fingers.
After eating, only her stomach bulged out of her thin body due to malnutrition. It was so full that she didn't want to move at all.
Zhang Zian cleaned up the tableware. He said that he was going to throw the leftover bones outside, but in fact, he was going to feed them to the wolves outside.
Returning to the table, he did not tell Megan his plan. He only told her to stay in the house and rest well. She could sleep if she wanted to, and if she couldn't, she could walk around the house. But she could not leave the house, because at night, all the beasts in the forest would come out.
In fact, when he had entered the house, she had vaguely heard some noise outside. It was the sound of the wolves fighting over the raccoon bones.
She knew that he planned to sneak into the devil's den, and she was deeply worried for him. The two of them were in the same boat, and no one could escape. If he was caught, she would probably starve to death in this house.
She had already died once, and she really didn't want to die again, but she had no other choice. She could only put all her hopes on him and said, "You must be careful. I will pray for you!"
Zhang Zian told her to lock the door from the inside and only light candles in the bedroom with the thick curtains, pretending that no one lived in the house. Unless he came back, she should ignore anyone who knocked on the door. He especially reminded her that no matter what strange sounds she heard, she should pretend that she didn't hear them.
The more Megan listened, the more confused she became. What kind of strange sounds could she hear in the forest?
Zhang Zian did not explain in detail and left the house with the elfins.
Fa Ci had a good impression of Megan, and he deliberately left a few wolves around the barren village to chase away the beasts that approached.
The dark clouds coming from the northwest had completely covered the sky. It was not even dark yet, and it was basically night. It was a pity that they could not see the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the sea.
When Zhang Zian and the elfins arrived at the seaside, Sihwa and the whales were already waiting there. She was full of anticipation for the prank, and she asked eagerly, "Do we start now?"
He looked at the time, and then looked at the sky. "Let's wait a little longer. Wait for them to eat dinner."
The elfins each found a place to rest and digest their food, while he carefully climbed up the Cape of Cape. He used his binoculars to observe the farm and the houses in the distance.
Clang, clang, clang!
A person who looked like a guard took a large copper bell and rang it three times. The long ringing sound was so loud that even Zhang Zian, who was half a bay away, could faintly hear it.
The people working in the fields put down the farm tools in their hands and lined up to leave the farm. They went to a simple wooden fence made of wood to line up for dinner.
Zhang Zian could not see what the dinner was. He could only see that each person had a wooden plate with a piece of black bread, a bowl of soup with unknown contents, and two spoonfuls of curry-like stew. It was not much different from the relief meals during the war. Even the food in prison was probably better than this.
After receiving their meals, the people sat on the wooden chairs and quickly finished eating. They then split into several groups and went into different wooden houses.
Most of the wooden houses were lit with dim yellow light. The source of the light was simple oil lamps and candles. There were no entertainment devices in the wooden houses, not even playing cards. It was hard to imagine that in modern California, the capital of technology in the world, there were people living such a primitive life out of their own free will.
The people who had worked hard for a day could not rest after a simple wash. Instead, they knelt down and prayed devoutly in front of a portrait. They murmured — of course, it was not God in the portrait, but a person wearing white clothes and white pants. Although the face could not be seen clearly, wasn't this the iconic clothing of Peter Lee?
The prayer lasted for more than ten minutes and was still not over. It was estimated that it would not end after a while. Zhang Zian originally wanted to wait for these poor people to go to sleep before doing anything, but now he did not intend to wait any longer. Maybe it was just the right time to shake their faith.
The sky was completely dark. Because there were no moon or stars, the sea was dark. The brightest place nearby was the small lighthouse on the shore.
"Sihwa, it's your turn," he shouted.
