The Spirit World

Chapter 424 A Strange Family
"Ah... this sheep! It's so strange!" Erica grabbed Chang Yufeng's hand and swung her hand, which was as soft as a willow leaf. This sheep was indeed very strange. Not only was it round, but it could also run while standing. In terms of beauty, it really had no beauty, it was just furry and most macho men couldn't resist it.

"Hmm... I feel I'm pretty weird now too..." Chang Yufeng let Erica pull his face without any hesitation, and even rubbed and pinched it to confirm whether it was a real sheep.

"Erica, why are you in the sheepfold? Shouldn't you be going to your mother's place?" Rajel looked at him with some confusion and put an apple in the trough.

"Oh... Mom wanted me to come here to see what the situation is~" Erica grabbed Chang Yufeng's ears. She hugged Chang Yufeng tightly. Chang Yufeng couldn't move at all. Now he couldn't move his hands either. He could only be slaughtered. To be honest, it was only because his current strength was not strong. He didn't even have the strength to break free from Erica.

He didn't struggle because they were all "old acquaintances".

"Then why are you holding the sheep? Did it run away?" Rajel came over and didn't seem to care about what Erica had just said. He had enough worries, such as the black cow that was eating an apple with great relish.

"No...it's a sheep I've never seen before!" Erica lifted Chang Yufeng up, and the white ball of fur reached the sky, looking straight at Rajel. Rajel was very young, but looked tired.

Chang Yufeng looked at the boy standing there. The boy looked here with a little doubt in his eyes. Chang Yufeng looked at him and couldn't even take his eyes away. Although the boy looked cute on the surface, he was deeply melancholy. The two looked at each other, and didn't know how to ask. When Rajel was present, his silence was even more obvious.

Extremely passive.

"A sheep you've never seen before?" Rajel came over. His shirt was very dirty, as if he had just had a fight in the cowshed, and he was also covered in dampness from the cowshed.

Erica lifted Chang Yufeng above her head, but it was only in front of Rajel's chest. Rajel grabbed Chang Yufeng by the scruff of the neck and held him in front of him like a kid.

"This sheep... I have definitely never seen it before... There is no other farm here... Did it get lost somewhere?" Rajel talked to himself, staring at Chang Yufeng's eyes with his blue eyes.

"He can talk!" Erica reminded. She raised her hand, wanting to catch the lamb that had no ability to resist in her father's hands.

"Can still talk? Are you sure? Your brother has just awakened elemental affinity... Do you have it too?" Rajel glanced at Erica and placed Chang Yufeng in her hand. Erica grabbed it. In fact, Erica's clothes were also very dirty. As the children of a farmer, they had to be dirty, but the smell on them was not very strong, and there was also the moisture of grass.

"But he just spoke! Roar!" Erica turned Chang Yufeng over, as if she wanted to exchange a secret signal with Chang Yufeng, but Chang Yufeng opened his big eyes, looked at Erica blankly, and then glanced at Rajel.

"Are you sure?" Rajel called the boy standing next to him and said, "Jack, come and listen to what the sheep said... If it came from another farm, we should send it back as soon as possible to avoid worrying them."

"Okay..." Jack trotted over and stood gently in front of Erica.

"Give him to me, and I'll see what he's talking about."

"Oh..." Erica placed Chang Yufeng heavily on Jack's outstretched hand.

Chang Yufeng's heart was pounding, and he didn't know what was wrong. He was just thinking frantically about how to make it go...

This was the first time he encountered such a situation, and it was quite embarrassing... Before he thought of what to say, he didn't know how to decide whether to speak or not.

"Say something now..." Jack looked at Chang Yufeng. His black pupils were so clear that there was even a faint luster on his eyeballs. Chang Yufeng didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth tightly and then opened it gently.

"What~"

"Huh?" Jack looked at Rajel with some disbelief, and Rajel also looked at him in confusion.

Jack looked at Chang Yufeng again. Chang Yufeng had a dazed look in his eyes, and seemed a little uncomfortable, but he could only blink and look at him.

"What...what...do you mean? Which farm did you run away from?" Jack's breath blew onto Chang Yufeng's face, and there was an obvious smell of milk.

"Mee...mee~" Chang Yufeng felt a little guilty. No matter what he said, he, who had affinity with the elements, could easily see through his disguise.

Oh my god, this is not a disguise...

This was unexpected in public...

Torture...

"Dad, he kept baa-baa-baa... I could understand him, but... he didn't say anything else..." Jack reported truthfully. When Erica finished questioning, she snatched Chang Yufeng from Jack's hand.

"Oh... he can talk... I clearly heard it talking just now!" Erica acted a little coquettishly and shook Chang Yufeng's round body. After being shaken a few times, Chang Yufeng immediately looked at her dizzy.

"I also heard the lamb say baa... You have elemental affinity and can hear them talking. But this sheep said baa by itself... This is the first time I've seen it..." Rajel looked at Jack and his eyes moved to the sheepfold behind him.

"Jack, go ask those sheep what they say... They may know the origin of this sheep." Rajel walked to the sheepfold by himself, and everyone turned around and followed him. He opened the sheepfold, and the sheep retreated somewhat unintuitively.

"Okay!" Jack trotted into the sheepfold again.

"Do you know where it came from?" Jack pointed at Chang Yufeng in Erica's arms. Chang Yufeng winked at the sheep. He didn't know if it could be conveyed.

The leading sheep bleated, and the bleating of sheep could be heard from the sheepfold as well.

"They said they didn't know..." Jack responded, looking up at Rajel again, waiting for his decision.

"You shouldn't ask like that. You have to remember that you are asking for directions, so you need to be humble. Even though they are sheep, you are also asking for help from others. You still need to use respectful words and be polite. Do you understand? Ask again." Rajel touched Jack's head.

"Okay... I understand..." Jack nodded, and looked at the lambs again and said, "Dear Mr. Sheep, do you know where this lamb came from?"

As expected, the sheep pen could be heard bleating again, but Yang Yi remained silent. Instead, he stared at Chang Yufeng who was blinking secretly.

Chang Yufeng was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to deal with it. It seemed that the initiative was not in his hands now. He thought that if something bad happened, he would be ready to run away immediately!

"They said they really don't know..." Jack still needs to wait for Rajel's decision. After all, he is the head of the family. Rajel touched his head with his rough big hands, a little confused: "Erica, let me take a closer look at this sheep..."

"Okay..." Erica quickly lifted the silent Chang Yufeng above her head. Rajel took it and muttered, "Jack, are you sure he said bleating and not other words? When you listen to our sheep, I can only hear bleating... When this sheep speaks, I can only hear bleating..."

"I'm sure... he only said baa baa baa..." Jack also looked at the fur ball that Rajel picked up.

Chang Yufeng remained silent, his heart as calm as water, and he did not move. Let them guess, anyway, he would not reveal any flaws... He was already an experienced person... Isn't it easy to pretend to be a sheep? Just be dumb...

"But! I just heard him say the same thing as I did!" Erica nodded seriously, looking at Chang Yufeng's little hoof.

"Look! His hands are the same as ours!" Erica jumped up and tried to grab Chang Yufeng's weak and hanging hand.

"Where?" Rajel went to look, and sure enough, he saw that Chang Yufeng had no hands to hide.

Sheep, a ball of wool, with a pair of human hands...

"Oh! I see!" Rajel looked at Chang Yufeng as if he had suddenly realized something. Chang Yufeng laughed and waved at him awkwardly.

"Is it a low-level summoned beast?" Rajel touched his chin and put Chang Yufeng on the ground: "Little guy... who summoned you? Or are you a low-level elf? What are you doing here?"

Erica and Jack came over as if looking at this rare thing, and there was a light in their eyes that was hard to hide.

Three people surrounded Chang Yufeng. To be honest, Chang Yufeng was not afraid at all. First, he felt that he would not be hurt. He came from this family and naturally understood the tempers of each member of this family. Second, he had already thought of his own words.

Chang Yufeng stood on the ground with both feet and tapped the ground with both hands. He clapped his hands and stood up, with his hands on his waist, and said arrogantly: "Yes, I am indeed a summoned beast, but my master abandoned me... I have no contract now, and I am a free person!"

In fact, nothing he said had any basis. He just had to make it sound believable. Yang Yi said that he was also like a summoned creature. Rajel was also knowledgeable and said that he was a summoned creature, so he must have the characteristics of a summoned creature. It is not impossible to go along with it.

Rajel touched Chang Yufeng's wool and said thoughtfully: "Oh, so that's how it is. But why did you come to my sheepfold?"

"I... I'm hungry..." Chang Yufeng certainly wouldn't say that he didn't know either. He touched his stomach: "I really want to eat..."

"You don't want to eat apples too, do you? There's a cow in my cowshed that insists on eating apples. If you want to eat apples too, I can't entertain you..." Rajel stood up, glanced at the cowshed over there, then saw Amina walking over and nodded.

"What are you three doing? Rajel, the village chief said that the price of rice has indeed dropped this year, and they can't do anything about it. After all my persuasion, they only asked for a copper coin."

When Amina came over, Erica rushed over and hugged her. "Mom! We found a talking sheep!"

"Oh, really? That's great!" Amina thought it was a joke and was led to the sheepfold by Erica.

"This sheep is still pretending to know nothing..." Rajel said, hammering his waist: "It's easy to talk to the village chief... If I go, I probably won't be able to get even a copper coin..."

"That's... But I also heard that many people of the same age as Jack Erica have signed up for tomorrow's Dragon Race... I wonder if Jack should give it a try..." Aminna looked at Chang Yufeng standing on the ground and said in surprise: "Is this... a summoned beast... or a low-level elf? Did you ask? Why is he here?"

"If I had known you could recognize it at a glance, I wouldn't have let Jack talk to the sheep..." Rajel patted Jack's shoulder and motioned him to get up.

Jack stood up obediently.

"But... I don't know where this thing came from... It doesn't look aggressive... Maybe it's hungry and looking for food."

"Really?" Amina squatted down and looked at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng put his hands on his waist and was a little nervous. He turned his face away: "I am indeed hungry... but... you don't have to give me alms! I can find food by myself!"

"You must have suffered a lot in this wilderness... It's amazing that you can find food by yourself!" Amina pinched Chang Yufeng's little nose, which made Chang Yufeng feel a little embarrassed.

"By the way, I have some cookies here..." Amina began to search her pockets. She was wearing a coarse apron, which was dirty enough with many yellow spots of dried soil.

She took out the cookies and didn't give them to Chang Yufeng right away. Chang Yufeng was not hungry, so he didn't care much about it. But seeing that Aminna had no suspicion at all, and that the whole family was like this without any suspicion, she felt even more embarrassed...

"Here..." Amina gave it to Jack first, Jack took it, and then gave it to Erica, Erica took it and took a bite, and finally gave it to Chang Yufeng.

"Then what are you going to do, little guy! It's so dark now! Aren't you afraid of meeting bad guys by running here?" Aminna was much gentler than Rajel.

"I'm afraid, but... you know... it's better than starving to death..." Chang Yufeng also ate the biscuits in big mouthfuls and looked very hungry.

"Oh~ Rajel, by the way, shall we have pumpkin soup today?" Amina seemed to be acting coquettishly, but there was not the slightest bit of coquettishness, she was just acting coquettishly in a straightforward manner.

Even a discerning person can hear it, but they accept it as normal.

"Mom! I want to raise this sheep!" Erica pulled Emina's arm and hugged her tightly, with her face pressed against Emina's arm. Erica's coquettishness was just coquettish, and the childish tone was cute enough.

"But, this is a summoned beast... He is not a pet like a cat or a dog... He is the same as a human... You can't call him a pet... This is very disrespectful to the summoned beast. If you want to sign a contract with a summoned beast in the future, you must treat him equally..." Amina tapped Erica's nose!
"Oh~" Erica looked at the lamb eating the bread again: "I like this lamb so much! I want to be friends with him! Is that okay?"

This kind of timely preaching is almost common in this family. There is no excessive teaching, and it all depends on the children's self-awareness.

This made Chang Yufeng think it was normal. He ate the cake and didn't hear what they said. By the time he reacted, he realized that the matter of his summoned beast seemed to be a done deal.

"You can be friends with this lamb... If you want to be friends, you should ask whether it is willing to be your friend... If it is unwilling, you can't force it..." Amyna's education is natural, without any dragging, and she will teach when she can, and never miss the opportunity...

"Yes...you need to ask the lamb himself what he means..." Rajel touched his waist.

"Yeah!" Eric let go, picked up Chang Yufeng, and lifted him up high.

The lighting here was still very dim, and there were biscuit crumbs at the corners of Chang Yufeng's mouth. He really didn't know how to end this.

All I can say is that if we are not a family, we will not enter the same family.

He glanced at Erica, then at Jack who was standing beside him without saying a word, and then looked back at Erica, whose eyes were bright and shining.

That kind of desire... is about to swallow up Chang Yufeng...

"Good sheep! Will you be my friend?"
