Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 995 - 991: Flying Mice

The morning mist dissipated, and the gentle morning light bathed the grassland, leaving the simple dining table beside the camp impeccably clean.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi finished breakfast and were preparing to take Tang Tang and Xiao Ya back home.

Ruan Hongzhuang had an important meeting at the company in the morning, and she didn’t want to be late.

But little Tang Tang was very cunning, as if she already knew their intention, she hid far behind the space capsule, poking out half her head, only showing a pair of round, lively eyes, and no matter how they called out to her, she refused to come closer.

"Tang Tang, come here quickly."

Ruan Hongzhuang waved at her, a hint of urgency in her voice.

"Oh~ han~"

Tang Tang stood far away on the grass, grinning foolishly, her small body seemingly nailed to the spot, showing no intention of moving.

As soon as Ruan Hongzhuang took a step towards her, Tang Tang immediately turned around and ran, as nimbly as a startled fawn.

After last night’s practice, Ruan Hongzhuang’s physical fitness had improved considerably, her steps were light and strong, but even so, she still couldn’t catch up with Tang Tang.

This little creature could control the wind, so when she ran, her toes didn’t even touch the ground, lightly skimming over the grass tips, looking very much like she was "flying on grass."

Even more frustrating, she was exceptionally agile, sometimes turning left, sometimes veering right, and even when Taozi and Ruan Hongzhuang split up to encircle her, she cleverly evaded each time, making the onlookers burst into laughter.

"Haha, Tang Tang runs like a little butterfly!"

Dou Dou clapped her hands and laughed continuously, deliberately cheering from the side.

"Aunt Hongzhuang, Aunt Taozi, keep going, catch her, just a little more..."

Shen Siyuan saw this and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, stepping forward to say, "Forget it, Hongzhuang, Taozi, you two head back first. Since Tang Tang doesn’t want to leave, let her and Xiao Ya stay for a bit longer, I’ll send them back later."

Seeing Shen Siyuan say this, Ruan Hongzhuang had no choice but to give up reluctantly, telling Tang Tang a few things before letting Duoduo take them back.

As soon as Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi arrived home, they saw Mao Sanmei already waiting in the living room.

Not seeing Tang Tang’s figure, her face instantly showed a look of anxiety, and she hurriedly came forward, gesturing with her hands to inquire. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Taozi stepped forward to explain the situation, reassuring her.

Meanwhile, Duoduo transformed into a gentle breeze and drifted towards her own home next door.

Last night, she came back in too much of a hurry, only taking a quick glance. Now that it was still early, she naturally wanted to spend more time with her parents.

At this moment, Lin Jianming and his wife had just finished breakfast.

Song Qingwei was tying an apron, cleaning up the dishes, with the sound of water gushing.

Lin Jianming sat on the sofa in the living room, browsing the morning newspaper, with sunlight streaming through the window, filling the room with the warmth of an ordinary family.

But when Lin Jianming looked up and saw Duoduo standing in the living room, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly put down the newspaper and stood up.

Song Qingwei also heard the commotion, turned her head, saw her daughter, and couldn’t even put down the bowl, quickly walking over to tightly hug Duoduo, her voice filled with excitement, "Duoduo, you’re back! You left so hastily last night, I didn’t even get a good look at you."

"Yes~yes~"

Lin Jianming also came over carefully, taking Duoduo from his wife’s arms to look her over.

The couple missed Duoduo terribly, and even though Xiao Yue often sent them photos of Duoduo and her friends, it could never match the joy of seeing their daughter in person.

Duoduo nestled beside her parents, chattering about the interesting experiences on the grassland, filling the living room with joy and laughter.

On the other side, the atmosphere on the grassland was lively as well. Shen Siyuan was leading Dou Dou, Tang Tang, Xiao Yue, and Xiao Ya in digging for wild onions.

Dou Dou discovered them first; while chasing butterflies on the grass, she spotted a cluster of verdant plants with a distinctive aroma and curiously plucked one.

Shen Siyuan glanced at it, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and smiled, "These are wild onions, spicy and fragrant, great for cooking or making sauces."

As he spoke, he recalled the times in his childhood when he would dig up wild onions with his grandma along the field borders.

Thus, he found a few small trowels and hoes, and led the four little girls in a search throughout the grassland.

Wild onions usually grow on sunny slopes or the edges of grass clumps, their lush green leaves particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.

"I found it! I found it!"

Dou Dou was the first to discover a cluster of wild onions, shouting excitedly as she squatted down and carefully used a small trowel to dig them up.

But she wasn’t very strong, taking a long time to finally dig out a wild onion with the soil and roots intact, her face smudged with dirt, looking like a little cat.

Tang Tang, seeing this, mimicked Dou Dou’s actions, exploring the grass by the side.

With a keen eye, she soon locked onto a particularly lush patch of wild onions, squatted down, gently brushed aside the surface layer of dry grass, and was just about to start digging when the ground beneath her feet suddenly went "poof"!

Immediately afterward, a plump Big Rat burst out from the underground, its furry body brushing past her hand, scaring Tang Tang into a squeal, making her jump three feet high, her little face paling as tears filled her eyes that had been full of joy moments earlier.

After such a scare, a rush of grievance and anger surged in Tang Tang’s heart. She stood there, pouting her lips, and stomped furiously at the hole from which the mouse emerged!

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

With each stomp, the ground of the grassland trembled slightly, and more magically, with the sound of her stomping, the surrounding wind seemed to hear a command, "whooshing" and gathered towards the mouse hole, rushing into it!

Then came a frantic sound of squeaking and chirping from inside. The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Countless mice of various sizes were blown out of the hole by the wind, like a sprinkling of black beans into the sky, some flailing randomly mid-air, others riding the wind far away, creating an incredible "flying mice" spectacle!

"Oh my! So many mice!"

Even fearless Dou Dou, upon seeing the swarm of mice, felt her soul nearly leaving her body, dropping her trowel, covering her head, screaming, and quickly hiding behind Shen Siyuan, her legs turning to jelly: "Potato, help! So many mice!"

Xiao Ya too turned pale with fear, clinging tightly to Shen Siyuan’s coat, hiding beside him, afraid to open her eyes.

Seeing the mice blown out, the grievance on Tang Tang’s face vanished instantly, replaced with a look of pride.

Still stomping her feet, as if directing the wind to continue "the fight," she cheerfully made "han~han~" noises, sporting a foolish grin.

Shen Siyuan, both surprised and amused, quickly stepped forward to hold the still-stomping Tang Tang, stopping her and saying, "Alright, alright, stop it, the mice are all gone now."

"Han~"

The little one put her hands on her hips with a proud look, feeling quite mighty.
