Chapter 134: Getting Angry?

After the meal, Chief Fei Ji also took the chance to tell everyone about the coal mine, and he also hoped that everyone, especially Zhang Fan, could give him some suggestions.

Regarding Chief Fei Ji's earnest hope, Zhang Fan naturally didn't hide anything, simply saying: "Uncle Fei Ji, now is Beast Tide Month; we should put the Beastmen's main force on hunting and defense, not on the coal mine."

Having said that, Zhang Fan paused, took a sip of water, then continued: "After all, we still have plenty of time in the cold season! We can first arrange some disabled or elderly and weak male Beastmen in the tribe to go mine a small portion of the coal."

Zhang Fan stroked his chin and continued: "This way, we won't delay the hunting team, nor will we cause other situations in the tribe due to insufficient defense. Everyone, right?"

After saying that, Zhang Fan blinked his eyes, threw the question to everyone, while he himself leaned on Ba Ke Er's shoulder.

After everyone figured out what was going on and was about to discuss the specific operational situation with Zhang Fan, they discovered that Zhang Fan had already fallen asleep leaning on Ba Ke Er's shoulder.

Ba Ke Er then felt somewhat guilty, realizing he hadn't even noticed that Fan Fan had fallen asleep, and had been so happy talking to everyone, not knowing when Fan Fan had leaned over or fallen asleep.

Di Er looked at his foolish son's eyes full of guilt, feeling uncomfortable himself, said nothing, and began busily clearing the dishes for Ba Ke Er and his wife.

Meanwhile, Lei Ya saw Ba Ke Er's expression, which was a face full of 'hate iron for not becoming steel'! How could she have given birth to such a stupid son! Yet Lei Ya didn't realize that when she was young, she was even more stupid than Ba Ke Er!

But now, seeing his beloved clearing the dishes, he immediately fawned over with a smug grin, rushed over, did it himself, then pulled Di Er along to the kitchen, watching him wash the dishes, under the pretense of 'supervision'!

Seeing the situation, Wei Er and his wife decisively greeted everyone and left, also pulling along Fei Er, who hadn't grasped the situation.

As for Mo De, although he understood what was happening, because his female didn't want to leave, he went with the flow and stayed; now that Fei Er had been pulled away by Wei Er, he naturally followed as well, leaving together.

When Ba Ke Er came to his senses, the main hall was empty of people, and even the dishes on the table had disappeared. Looking at everything before him, Ba Ke Er felt that if his brain hadn't short-circuited, he would still remember having just eaten with everyone. Moreover, everyone had said goodbye before leaving.

He figured everyone would think it was already the apocalypse, and that only he and Zhang Fan remained on the entire planet!

However, Ba Ke Er looked at Zhang Fan still sound asleep leaning on his shoulder, feeling even more reluctant, slowly used his hand to lift Zhang Fan's head, then slowly lifted him horizontally, step by step carried him into the room, and gently laid him on the bed.

At that moment, Zhang Fan suddenly turned over, pressing Ba Ke Er's arm, which he hadn't had time to pull back, even tighter, and Ba Ke Er, due to reaction force, was unintentionally 'dragged' onto the bed by Zhang Fan.

At this moment, Ba Ke Er happened to be directly above Zhang Fan; if he lowered his head slightly, he could kiss Zhang Fan's lips. And indeed, Ba Ke Er lowered his head just then, so…… they ended up kissing.

At this time, Zhang Fan happened to be dreaming of eating something; Ba Ke Er's lips lightly touched, and the dreaming Zhang Fan, who was imagining eating a sausage, opened his mouth and took a big bite.

The pain made Ba Ke Er jump up instantly! He then covered his lips, which were bleeding profusely from the bite, unable to stop shouting in pain!

Precisely because Ba Ke Er's lips suddenly left, the sausage in the dream that had grown wings flew away, and the frowning Zhang Fan, once again awakened by Ba Ke Er's cries of pain.

Zhang Fan opened his eyes, sat up dazedly, rubbed his eyes, and dazedly looked at Ba Ke Er hopping around while covering his mouth. After a while, Zhang Fan noticed that blood was slowly seeping from between Ba Ke Er's fingers.

For a moment, the sleep bug in Zhang Fan was frightened and its wings flew away, and he himself suddenly woke up. Zhang Fan didn't even have time to wonder why Ba Ke Er was injured; his brain twitched and he immediately sprang to his feet, running toward Ba Ke Er's position.

Zhang Fan stood firm before Ba Ke Er, tiptoed, reached out, and forcefully pried open Ba Ke Er's slender fingers one by one. He looked at Ba Ke Er's painful expression and the blood continuously flowing from his lips.

For some reason, Zhang Fan suddenly laughed out loud, which made Ba Ke Er feel extremely embarrassed, unable to stop thinking: 'Could it be that Fan Fan knows I stole a kiss while he was asleep and got bitten by him?'

But Ba Ke Er also thought: if he really knew, that wouldn't be right either! How could Fan Fan bear to bite me? He loves me so much! I must be mistaken! Fan Fan definitely didn't laugh! He must be crying, yes! He must be crying, that's it!

After such self-hypnosis, Ba Ke Er rubbed his eyes again and looked at Zhang Fan's expression once more. Yet what he saw was still Zhang Fan laughing, and laughing happily!

After seeing Zhang Fan's expression clearly, Ba Ke Er couldn't help but despise himself in his heart! 'Wuwuwu~ Fan Fan, you really don't love me~ wuwuwu……'

However, after Zhang Fan seriously examined Ba Ke Er's mouth wound, he finally reached a conclusion: 'Mm! It must be that we've been eating too much dragon beast meat lately! Oh~ my adorable Ba Ke Er has actually gotten angry (internal heat)! That won't do! It seems we need to eat something light to reduce the fire!'

Thinking this, Zhang Fan also told Ba Ke Er his conclusion.

When Ba Ke Er heard Zhang Fan say he was getting angry inside, his heart couldn't help but rejoice! Great! Fan Fan doesn't dislike me! And he even said he'd prepare a fire-reducing feast for me! Oh yeah!

Zhang Fan looked at Ba Ke Er's lip wound, which had stopped bleeding, thought for a moment, took a waterskin and some gauze from the jade thumb ring, had Ba Ke Er sit on the bedside, and then carefully cleaned the wound.

Ba Ke Er was then overwhelmed with excitement! 'Look! Look! Fan Fan really does love me!' Thinking this, he was almost bubbling over with joy to the point of snot.

After Zhang Fan had cleaned Ba Ke Er's wound clean, he again took some medicinal powder beneficial for wound healing from the jade thumb ring, dabbed it on gauze, and gently applied the medicine to Ba Ke Er.

After finishing treating Ba Ke Er's wound, Zhang Fan was completely wide awake, tidied up his things, and prepared to pull Ba Ke Er along to the kitchen to wash the dishes he hadn't yet gotten around to washing.

However, when the two arrived at the kitchen, they found it already tidied up spotlessly by Di Er and Lei Ya, with the dishes and kitchen utensils washed until they shone.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan thought it was Ba Ke Er who had washed them, patted Ba Ke Er's chest, and said: 'Not bad! Ba Ke Er! You're making progress!'

But Ba Ke Er embarrassedly said: 'Um, Fan Fan, it wasn't me who washed them; it should have been my father.'

Zhang Fan rolled his eyes at Ba Ke Er's reply and said: 'Then it looks like you need to learn this skill more from your father!'

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, Ba Ke Er's expression stiffened, and for some reason he recalled how, as a child, he always saw his father being punished by Am to wash dishes for not knowing to restrain himself in some matter.

Thinking of this, Ba Ke Er felt his whole self was not good! He resolved absolutely not to let Fan Fan know about this! Otherwise…… his outcome would surely be worse than his father's……

After Zhang Fan inspected the clean kitchen, he then brought Ba Ke Er to the courtyard and added a few more branches to the firewood pile under the branch shelter.

Once the smoke thickened, Zhang Fan had Ba Ke Er stay there and watch.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fan himself took a small winnowing basket to the cellar; not long after, Zhang Fan came up from the cellar and returned from the back yard to the front yard. Seeing this, Ba Ke Er hurriedly dropped the branches in his hands, ran over, and took whatever Zhang Fan was holding.

Seeing Ba Ke Er so eager, Zhang Fan happily rewarded him with a kiss on the cheek. Then he walked ahead laughing, Ba Ke Er touched the spot on his face where Zhang Fan had just kissed him, smiled faintly, also picked up his things and followed, not even looking at what he was carrying.

When Ba Ke Er followed behind Zhang Fan into the kitchen and finally had a moment to look down at what he was holding, his face instantly turned ashen!

It wasn't for any other reason! It was because of what he was holding! A whole winnowing basket of bitter gourd! That is, the so-called 'cooling melon' that makes you cry bitterly!

As soon as he saw this, Ba Ke Er recalled the scene of his first time eating bitter gourd!

That was an evening of thunder and lightning. That day, originally it was a clear day with fresh air and bright sunshine, but because of a momentary brain short-circuit, he had a mental twitch upon seeing an animal eating this, and curiously brought it back.

At first, Fan Fan, upon seeing this thing called bitter gourd, was especially delighted; he also felt proud for having brought back something that pleased Fan Fan Valley, and felt self-satisfied.

However, the beautiful dream didn't last long! That very day, that afternoon when he had brought back the bitter gourd, suddenly, where the sky should have been cloudless, countless dark clouds appeared out of nowhere.

And when it was time for dinner, there was thunder and lightning, a violent storm! The lightning from the heavens struck like sword after sword at Ba Ke Er's heart! Yet that wasn't the most terrifying! More terrifying was! Fan Fan actually stir-fried a plate of bitter gourd!

This was his first time eating bitter gourd! At the time he almost couldn't keep down last night's rice from being so bitter! This also made Fan Fan laugh at him for a long time!

His thoughts returned, Ba Ke Er looked at the basket full of bitter gourd, feeling as if everyone were laughing at him!

Zhang Fan saw Ba Ke Er looking at the bitter gourd with a face full of bitter resentment, and couldn't help laughing. However, to reduce Ba Ke Er's internal heat, Zhang Fan decided he had to first make Ba Ke Er endure it!

Stepping forward, he patted Ba Ke Er's chest and said seriously: 'Ba Ke Er! For your lips that split and kept bleeding from internal heat, I can only first wrong your tongue.'

Having said that, Zhang Fan took several bitter gourds from the basket, washed them clean, then began slicing the bitter gourd for slices and juicing for juice. Not long after, a large cup of pure natural green bitter gourd juice, with no added preservatives, pigments, or seasonings, was freshly made!

At the same time, Zhang Fan also prepared a large serving of lightly salted dressed bitter gourd for Ba Ke Er.

After finishing these, Zhang Fan smiled and told Ba Ke Er to eat the dressed bitter gourd with the bitter gourd juice, not allowing him to eat anything else, under the pretense: 'for fear of affecting the efficacy!'

Thus, the miserable Ba Ke Er could only make a bitter face, eating a mouthful of dressed bitter gourd, then a mouthful of bitter gourd juice. During this, to express his love for Zhang Fan, he kept eating while constantly praising Zhang Fan's cooking skills!
