Watching the two mice rush over, after having enough food, you can see that the two little biscuits and cakes have gotten a little fatter after a few days.

Two little mice, one on each side, hugged Wang Yan's leg. Wang Yan was caught off guard for a moment. Seeing the scene before him, Zhuo Hua gently turned her head away, covered her mouth, and chuckled. Wang Yan said to the two little mice:

"What are you two doing lying on the ground like that?"

Little Mouse Cake let go of his hand, and Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw her two muddy little paws. Then he noticed his own dirty trouser legs and felt a wave of frustration.

"We're watching ants moving house!"

Little Cookie nodded repeatedly, but then suddenly remembered something and shouted:

"Oh no! We came out to pick wild vegetables, but we've been playing for so long we forgot!!"

Wang Yan reached out and grabbed the two little ones by the collar, saying:

"Where is your mother? We're here to see her."

The little cookie pointed its dirty little finger at the hole and said:

"Mom was putting my little sister to sleep inside the cave. Thanks to my brother for sharing the ginseng herbs with us, Mom is feeling much better now!"

Wang Yan nodded, put down the two mice, helplessly patted his trouser leg, and walked towards the cave entrance.

Zhuohua covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems you really like children."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Those two little wall lamps are so annoying, I find them irritating."

Zhuohua didn't refute him, but simply went along with his words and continued, "Yes, yes, you hate children the most."

After saying that, she quickened her pace and brought her pink lips close to his ear: "Wouldn't you be annoyed if I had your baby?"

"......"

Wang Yan blushed and intended to ignore her, but Zhuo Hua could see her reddened ears clearly. Ever since Zhuo Hua began to be honest with him, she had been working hard to get pregnant, but it was really too difficult for beastmen and humans to give birth, and there was still no movement in her belly.

Looking at Wang Yan's back, Zhuohua gently licked her lips.

"Looks like I'll have to give it my all tonight..."

........

Wang Yan didn't hear her mutterings to herself. He walked to the cave entrance, which was small enough that the rats, with their petite figures, could pass through without much trouble, but it would be a bit difficult for an adult male.

Not to mention someone like Zhuohua. Although Zhuohua herself is petite, her thick salamander tail takes up a large part of her volume. If you were to drag her through that hole, her tail would definitely be torn to shreds.

So Wang Yan bent down and called out to Bai Guo at the cave entrance, saying they could have a chat right outside.

Upon hearing Wang Yan's voice, Bai Guo quickly placed the little mouse in her arms onto the bed and hurriedly scrambled out. The moment she saw Wang Yan, she immediately knelt down.

"Sir! My benefactor! Thank you for your generosity! If it weren't for your great mercy, our whole family would be ruined!"

His voice trembled slightly, clearly from excessive excitement. Wang Yan glanced at the fact that his favorability rating had reached 100 points, which wasn't feigned, and waved his hand, saying:

"The food was given to you by the girl who was with me before. If you want to thank her, go thank her. If I were alone, I wouldn't even bother to look at you."

Bai Guo knelt with her head buried in the ground in an extremely devout manner, her eyes already brimming with tears of excitement. Those were a full 100 kilograms of potatoes, which, if eaten sparingly, could have provided enough for her family of four to get through the three months of winter comfortably. They rekindled Bai Guo's hope of living with her children, which had left her feeling utterly hopeless. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Wang Yan was her family's savior.

"That Miss Fox was very kind, and you are very kind too! You are both wonderful people!"

As she spoke, she saw Bai Guo get up from the ground, lift up a corner of her linen skirt, and then forcefully tear off a patch on it, from which a golden object rolled off.

Bai Guo hurriedly tucked it into her bosom, carefully wiped it with her sleeve, and then handed it directly to Wang Yan as if presenting a treasure.

"Sir! I really can't think of any way to repay you, so please accept this pocket watch. I hope you won't find it unsuitable!"

"A pocket watch?" Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at the golden round disc with interest, and unceremoniously reached out to take it.

The golden pocket watch looked extremely small, and in Wang Yan's hand it looked like a wristwatch. This size was obviously suitable for the small size of the rat race. Its appearance was bright and shiny. With a gentle press of the button on the top, the case popped open, and a slowly rotating dial and a gray-white photograph came into view.

"interesting."

This pocket watch clearly demonstrates two key aspects: highly sophisticated mechanical craftsmanship and photographic technology are required to create such a refined piece.

Zhuohua peeked out and stared at the pocket watch for a while as well.

"There are no signs of dullness on the surface, so it must be gold-plated."

Seeing that Wang Yan was very interested in his gift, Bai Guo was secretly pleased and quickly explained:

"My grandfather, Begonia Silver Shield, was once a Rat Knight. He distinguished himself in a battle and was rewarded with a pocket watch by the Rat King, Royal Tooth XVI, which eventually came to be with me."

Wang Yan looked at the gray photograph, which prominently featured a noble-looking rat-woman dressed in magnificent robes and wearing a crown. He turned and exchanged a glance with Zhuohua, who gently shook her head and said:

"It shouldn't be fake."

Wang Yan wasn't particularly fond of this thing, but he was still quite interested. He closed it and put it in his pocket.

"Okay, I'll accept this, but I won't take your things for nothing."

With a flick of his finger, Wang Yan neatly arranged the last five cans of food in the warehouse in front of Bai Guo.

"You can break the outer metal sheet of this thing with a stone. If you finish the food, you can eat this. If you don't open it, it won't spoil for decades."

The scene before Bai Guo's eyes widened in disbelief, as if it were a miracle. Yes, this was it! That night, the thing the master had taken out was a jar full of meat!

Bai Guo swallowed hard, her eyes filled with longing, but she didn't dare to go forward to take it. Wang Yan didn't want to pay attention to her. The things were left there, and he didn't plan to take them back. Although these things had emptied his warehouse, these kinds of ready-to-eat canned products were just "pads" for the gacha system. He could get more by drawing cards a few more times, so he didn't need them at all.

Then Wang Yan turned to the side, revealing Zhuo Hua behind him, and said:

"This is the true leader of our village. If you have anything to say, just tell her."

Upon hearing the title "leader," Zhuohua rolled her eyes at Wang Yan, then gave Baiguo a very polite smile:

"Madam Baiguo, after Wang Yan returned last time, I learned about your family. I feel very sorry for the tragedy in Shushu City, and I also have a few questions I would like to ask you, is that alright?"
