A Young Woman's Heart

"Wow, what is this?"

"I made it with some suitable branches, I just dug a hole in it and then washed it clean."

It's easier said than done.

However, she found some loose branches, and the bark on the stems was still intact, making them look very fresh.

It's called a wooden spoon, but it's far from being a standard wooden spoon; it's just a stick with a hole dug in the slightly thicker end.

But at least I was able to scoop up the soup.

So let's just call it a wooden spoon for now.

It's quite an achievement to make these three 'wooden spoons' in such a short time.

The broth in the cans was thick, and even just a little bit made the wild vegetable soup, which was a mixture of various wild vegetables, extremely fragrant and rich.

Hua Yinyin's delicate nose twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. At the same time, a sound like a monster's roar came from her flat stomach: "Gurgle..."

"Huh? Whose stomach is growling so loudly?" Hua Yinyin asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily. "Pfft, haha, really? Are you that hungry?"

Mo Xueyao looked at her with droopy eyelids: "You're the one who called me that, okay?"

"Huh? Did I call her?" Hua Yinyin stared at Mo Xueyao in disbelief. "Little Yaoyao has learned to frame others too~ That won't do, hehehe... glug glug—"

Hua Yinyin's stomach growled again at just the right moment.

This time, she finally stopped what she was doing and looked away as if nothing had happened: "Ah, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"

"Mixed wild vegetable soup." Li Wanyan gave her a way out, and Mo Xueyao wisely stopped dwelling on whose stomach was growling, but she still couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Who would have thought that even Hua Yinyin would have an awkward moment?

As the soup began to boil, the fire continued to burn.

After all, this is a small wooden cabin, so it's best not to let the fire continue burning unless absolutely necessary.

So Li Wanyan poured the water from the kettle into the stove to extinguish the firewood.

"Hiss—" That's the sound of water being poured onto a fire.

"Where's the food?" Hua Yinyin asked the exact same question that Mo Xueyao had asked earlier.

"Here it is." Mo Xueyao handed the 'rice ball' wrapped up like a rice dumpling to Hua Yinyin.

"Oh, it's just like a rice dumpling!"

“I think it looks more like a rice ball.” Mo Xueyao carefully unwrapped the banana leaf, hesitated for a moment, and decided to grab it with her hands. She joked, “I feel like an Indian right now.”

"Indian hand-grabbed rice!" Hua Yinyin shouted excitedly, her eyes falling on the 'spoon'. "Is this a spoon?"

"Hmm." Li Wanyan glanced at her, her eyes seeming to say, 'You have good taste.'

The soup made with canned broth tasted a little strange, but it was still quite delicious, and the wild vegetables were also very filling.

Li Wanyan was very frugal; she only opened two cans of food, showing a willingness to prepare for any eventuality.

—That way I can eat three meals a day.

All the canned goods that Hua Yinyin brought were meat cans, so even if it wasn't enough to eat, it was enough to replenish their energy.

This kind of high-oil, high-salt food is actually not something that modern people should eat too much of.

One of the cans contained regular mushroom luncheon meat, and the other contained fish balls.

The fish balls were spicy, and Mo Xueyao really liked the flavor, so she couldn't help but eat a few more. Since there weren't enough utensils, she still had to use her hands.

Li Wanyan looked at Mo Xueyao, and although she didn't speak, the latter said in perfect unison, "It's delicious!"

"Hmm." Li Wanyan couldn't help but chuckle softly, seemingly quite satisfied with her answer.

"Ugh—no, Yaoyao has to smile at me too!"

"Hey, what's up?" Mo Xueyao glared at Hua Yinyin with annoyance.

"That's not fair!" Hua Yinyin shouted.

"I can't smile at you at all!" Mo Xueyao rolled her eyes. "Yinyin, go wash the lunchbox!"

"No, no, I still have to draw. By the way, what about what you wrote, Yao Yao?"

"It's on the table—wait, wash your hands before you look!"

"Of course—" But in fact, Hua Yinyin almost sat down just now.

After lunch, the sun became even more intense.

Such light always makes people feel sleepy and want to go to sleep.

Mo Xueyao lay down in the spot where Hua Yinyin had been lying, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Li Wanyan quietly walked to Hua Yinyin's side and watched her read the first chapter of "The Giant of Light" several times before starting to draw on the white paper.

Colored pencils break easily, so Li Wanyan sharpened them for her with a knife.

The reason she didn't use a pencil sharpener was because Hua Yinyin used a simple small pencil sharpener, which easily broke the pencil lead.

They are nowhere near as good as the pencils that Li Wanyan sharpened by hand.

"The class monitor's skills are pretty good." Hua Yinyin examined the sharpened pencil for a while before starting to draw.

Yes, there was no outlining; we started coloring directly.

However, the colored pencils she used could actually be erased with a special eraser, so although it seemed reckless at first glance, it wasn't actually like that.

Colored pencils only draw rough blocks of color.

Then you just apply layers of oil pastel on top.

It's a bit like painting an oil painting, but obviously not that complicated.

Because it's only three or four stories at most.

However, the giant of light drawn in this style has an exceptionally solemn and majestic feel.

The glowing effect is also very well done.

Even though the whole picture looks slightly blurry, it has a kind of hazy beauty.

This is a scene from Mo Xueyao's first chapter.

The first chosen one, after gaining power, transformed in an emergency to fight against a monster that crashed into the mountains like a meteorite.

This is an unmanned scene.

The surrounding area is all mountains, a very remote place, without even a village.

In the pitch-black night, the rain poured down.

The giant, enveloped in a pale yellow light, stood in the rain, striding forward like an unyielding mobile fortress.

Hua Yinyin even specially drew the visual residual effect of the light as it moved, those little tails looking like the tail flames of a shooting star.

Even though he was enveloped in light, the light in his eyes was still clearly visible—this uses a simplified design similar to that of Ultraman.

Since this is the first chapter, the Giant of Light has not yet revealed its true form, so the focus is more on portraying its mystery.

The energy lamp, shaped like a heart, is located on the left side of the chest. It is not a simple triangle, but a triangle decorated with slightly simple lines.

The middle part of the triangle is drawn like a gemstone, and in order to match the concept of a 'heart', it is painted a blood-red color.

When the energy is insufficient, it will flicker and the color will become lighter.

But that's all in the settings.

What Hua Yinyin is about to draw is the giant who has just appeared.

His name is just like his way of making his entrance—a shooting star.

Opposite the giant was a huge monster, like a dinosaur, but even more ferocious and bizarre.

This is where Hua Yinyin has free rein.

So she drew seven or eight tails, five or six legs, and placed the head on its chest.

The original head was replaced with eight claws...

Chapter Sixty-Seven "Side Story & Giant of Light" Meteor

The dead of night.

Only inky rain poured down.

A middle-aged man looked up at the sky, dragging his heavy and tired body as he walked alone in the mountains.

His hand looked as if he were holding a large wild beast, but when lightning ripped through the night sky, the terrifying scene was clearly visible.

The man's thick, powerful arms dragged the corpse of an adult man. In the heavy rain, the bloodstains left by the dragging were quickly washed away, as if no corpse had ever been dragged there.

The man's eyes were somewhat vacant; he didn't appear crazy or fearful, but rather lost and helpless.

He sighed deeply, then sighed deeply again, and then sighed deeply once more.

He didn't actually want to kill people, but sometimes he had no choice but to do so.

And when people are blinded by anger, they don't think that much.

In that instant, all he wanted to do was kill him.

He knew that even if he secretly buried the body, he wouldn't be able to escape for long.

The other party is a well-known wealthy family. If they go missing for a few days, their family will definitely report it to the police. How many people are there in a village?

It's only a matter of time before we find him.

But humans have a survival instinct, and even though he was extremely confused at the time, he still did it.

He wanted to bury the body under a big tree deep in the mountains, hoping that with luck, he could hide it for a long time without being discovered.

Just then, it was as if the sun had suddenly risen in the rainy sky. He looked up again, his head lowered, and gazed at the night sky in a daze.
