Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

The chaotic day is finally over.

Two more people were admitted to the hospital for treatment—Wang Can and Li Cu, both of whom suffered heavy losses.

After this ordeal, the two still can't stand each other, but they probably won't fight every time they meet.

That night, the remaining men were arguing about who should stay behind to take care of the child, but before they could reach a conclusion, Huo Xiuxiu, the only woman present, vetoed the decision.

She was very firm and single-handedly drove the men out of the ward.

No matter how much you say, good or bad, it won't work.

"Mingchao is very clean. She fought with that bastard for so long, she must be uncomfortable with all that dirt on her body. I'll help her clean herself up. It's not convenient for you to be here."

"Besides, she needs to rest quietly, and the ward isn't very big. It would be too chaotic for you all to stay here. I'll stay with her."

"It's so late, you should go back and rest."

After finishing her speech, Huo Xiuxiu was about to close the door when she was stopped halfway by a quick-thinking person.

Huo Xiuxiu subconsciously thought that some shameless people were trying to stay by being unreasonable.

When she met a pair of calm, expressionless eyes through the crack in the door, she choked up.

It's the young man.

She knew the guy well; he was reliable and quiet.

There was a moment of wavering.

But she cannot be without principles.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, her tone gentle: "Young man, you can't do it either. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

Zhang Qilin, standing outside the door, shook his head slightly: "It wasn't me, it was it."

Then a cat carrier was brought up, revealing the round face of a calico cat through the glass case.

"It just barked and is a bit restless; it probably wants to stay."

In principle, pets should not be taken to the vet.

They hadn't initially planned to bring San San along, but the little guy jumped into their car and kept meowing at them, clearly wanting to come along.

San San is a cat that is gentle, obedient, and very intelligent. When it comes to loyalty to its owner, it is in no way inferior to the Wu family's dog.

Love me, love my dog.

"Um, I have San San's pet vaccination record." Wang Meng raised his hand timidly. "When I was boarding at Wu Shan Ju, I took her to the vet for her vaccinations. I'll talk to the vet, maybe I can bring it with me."

"Can."

Xie Yuchen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, spoke.

Very reliable.

He took out his phone and explained simply, "I happen to own shares in that private hospital. I'll contact someone there, and bringing a pet in shouldn't be too difficult."

"Just a coincidence?" Black Bear in the passenger seat quipped.

After finishing his conversation, Xie Yuchen put down his phone and nodded, "Yeah, what a coincidence." Then he started the car.

After arriving at the hospital, San San stayed in the cat carrier. Originally, Wang Meng was carrying it, but later Wang Meng lost a game of rock-paper-scissors and was sent out to buy dinner, so the cat carrier "naturally" fell into Zhang Qiyu's arms, who was sitting on the sofa.

Wang Meng: ...If the guy reaches out his hand, who can refuse?

Huo Xiuxiu was overjoyed when she saw that it was San San, and immediately took the cat carrier.

"The difference in attitude is really huge."

Someone outside the door muttered something.

Huo Xiuxiu didn't care who it was, and snorted coldly: "If you were even half as cute as San San, I'd let you stay."

Zhang Qianjun: "..."

At this moment, someone even more oblivious raised his muscular arm and volunteered once again: "Patriarch Huo, actually... I can also meow like a cat, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut.

Luo Que added coldly from the side, "Sometimes, the most valuable thing about a person is to have self-awareness."

"Shut up, you damn sparrow!" Kan Jian gritted his teeth.

The White Snake couldn't stand it either, and followed up with a sarcastic remark: "Why are you so unpredictable? How about I buy you some pet food?"

"Shut up, you damn snake!" Kan Jian snapped.

Watching this scene, Zhang Haiyan whispered to Zhang Haixia, "Xia Zai, what kind of quirks does Wu Xie have? What kind of people has he taken in? That Huo Daofu looks like a thief. Wu Shan Ju should just be renamed the Zoo."

Zhang Haixia glanced at Zhang Haiyan and remained silent.

He didn't reply.

The main problem is that the Zhang family doesn't seem to be doing very well; some of their names are even related to animals.

They weren't allowed into the ward, so the group quickly dispersed.

It was indeed too late, and they needed time to process these sudden changes and the truth.

…………

Time flies by.

The next day, just as dawn broke, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

This group of people really can't stay still for a moment.

Thinking this, Huo Xiuxiu glanced at the sleeping Shen Mingchao, yawned, and turned to open the door.

He saw Xie Yuchen outside the door.

She unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. "Little Flower Brother, it's you! You're here so early."

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep, so I came over." Xie Yuchen walked into the house, closed the door behind him, and placed the bag he was carrying on the table. "I brought breakfast."

"Great! I was a little hungry. Little Flower Brother, have you eaten? If not, would you like to share a bite?"

Xie Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay."

After the two of them quietly finished breakfast, Huo Xiuxiu noticed Xie Yuchen's seemingly casual glances towards the hospital bed. She chuckled to herself and said, "She was fine last night, so there shouldn't be any major problems, it's just..."

"Did you talk in your sleep?"

"Talking in his sleep?" Xie Yuchen was somewhat surprised and frowned. Anyone who encounters a monster would have some psychological trauma.

His expression was serious: "Did you have a nightmare?"

He had even planned to find a reliable psychologist once Shen Mingchao woke up.

Huo Xiuxiu waved her hand in response.

"No, no, Brother Xiaohua, don't be nervous."

He then described the situation in detail: "I heard a noise and thought she had woken up."

"But in the end, we found out she was talking in her sleep, and she didn't look like she was having a nightmare; there was no tense or painful expression on her face."

"On the contrary... there's some happiness?"

"Yes, I saw her smile! I think she must have had a sweet dream."

After hearing Huo Xiuxiu's words, Xie Yuchen felt relieved, then asked, "What did she say in her sleep?"

Huo Xiuxiu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment: "At first I couldn't hear it very clearly, the voice was very soft, almost like a murmur, but later I listened carefully and I could hear two words clearly."

"Bright Moon".

She then offered her guess, "Mingchao, Mingyue, I guess she must have dreamt of her family."

"Hey, by the way, Brother Xiaohua, do you think what they said is true? That the Ming Dynasty and we are from completely different worlds? That's unbelievable."

"I don't know." Xie Yuchen lowered his eyes, not wanting to delve into too much. "At least, she's in the same world as us now."

"Yes, that's true."

The conversation between the two people temporarily ended.

Shen Mingchao dreamed of his family, which is a good thing.

But what they didn't expect was that Shen Mingchao's dream lasted far too long.
