The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 118 Moon Sky's Parents

"My name is Little Sparrow, what's your name, Doggy? I don't know yet."

The little titmouse, ever so friendly, asked, brandishing its sharp claws to cut the plants off the straw dog.

The flowers and plants fell sparsely, covering the ground with a thin layer.

It was only then that the straw dog realized it had come to ask a beast for directions! How could it have forgotten all that?

He hurriedly said, "My name is Chugou. By the way, Little Sparrow, can you tell me how to get out of the mountains? I'm lost."

"Uh?"

The little titmouse paused for a moment, its claws moving slightly, but it quickly resumed its actions while taking on all the responsibilities.

"Of course, no problem. I'm the mountain god, I know Caiyun Mountain very well. Once I finish my work, I'll take you to see the small village in the mountains."

The straw dog looked grateful and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing, no need to thank me."

The little titmouse chattered away, its claws still busy cutting a handful of grass as it continued its work.

"Hey dog, why did you come to the mountains?"

"Well, this..."

The straw dog paused slightly, its mind involuntarily recalling what had just happened that morning.

"It's all because of those despicable humans!"

The straw dog uttered these words with a slightly ferocious expression.

The little titmouse was startled, then became curious.

"What's wrong, dog? What's Mudman up to? Tell us about it."

Upon hearing this, the straw dog felt as if he had found someone to confide in. With the chattering expert Little Sparrow by his side, he poured out all the hatred he had for humans.

Upon learning what had happened, the little sparrow looked at the straw dog with pity. He felt sorry for the dog and wondered why it was so full of resentment when it came to humans.

As he considered his words, the little sparrow wanted to comfort the straw dog, but just then, he suddenly smelled a burnt smell.

"Meow? What's that smell?"

A flame suddenly burst forth from the straw dog's body and quickly spread throughout its entire body, under the bewildered gaze of the little sparrow.

The expression of the straw dog, who had been staring at the sky with a face full of resentment and muttering words like "despicable," "humans," and "revenge," suddenly froze.

Am I...am I sick again?!

"Meow? Meow! Dog, what's wrong with you! Don't set the mountain on fire! Otherwise, our sales performance will be ruined!!"

Shortly after,

The ground was damp, and the debris and ashes from the burned plants covered the ground.

The straw dog was burned down to its head, all alone, with burn marks and water stains on its face.

"Phew~ Luckily there's a stream nearby."

The little titmouse dropped the giant lotus leaf that had sprouted from it. He wiped the cold sweat from his fright and was filled with relief, realizing he had almost followed in the footsteps of the orange.

"Um... I'm sorry."

The straw dog guiltily turned its gaze away.

The little titmouse stared at him for a while, then helplessly picked him up and put him on her back, causing two vines to sprout and tie him up.

"To prevent you from setting the mountain on fire again, you'll have to come with us. After we finish running through the mountains, I'll take you to the village."

As the sun sets, the shadows of things gradually lengthen.

At four o'clock in the afternoon,

The school bell rang on time to signal the end of get out of class.

A window in a classroom on the second floor was suddenly opened, and Yue Tian jumped out and ran straight to the stairs.

As he grabbed the handrail and climbed down to the first floor, the other students managed to run out of the classroom.

In the classroom where Bai Ying emerged, the teacher stared speechlessly at the empty seats below, not even having had a chance to say goodbye.

With his schoolbag on his back, Yue Tian climbed over the school wall, landing lightly on his four paws. He carefully looked around and raised his paws to leave.

"Moon! Sky!"

A loud roar filled with anger suddenly rang out.

Yue Tian froze, and when he turned around, he saw a white figure coming straight at him from around the corner. He quickly turned and ran away without even thinking of resisting.

"Stop!"

The voices behind her were relentless, but Yue Tian didn't turn around as her four short legs thrashed about frantically.

"Anyone who stands there is a fool!"

Two white figures flashed past one after the other in Caiyun Village. The one in front leaped onto rooftops, scaled walls, and tried to shake off the beast behind it.

However, the other white figure was no pushover either, always lagging behind, and the distance between them continued to close.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded from the rooftop, startling the villagers inside who came out to check the situation. Some villagers on the road also stopped to watch.

One of the animals sighed, "The Yue family's daughter-in-law has started chasing the child away again."

Shortly after.

With a miserable expression, Yue Tian was lifted into the air by the scruff of her neck, her four little paws dangling down, her body swaying and occasionally spinning around.

"Mom, please don't chase after us so relentlessly every time. It's becoming a regular sight in the village."

"Snapped!"

Yue Tian got slapped on the head. Yue Tian's mother said angrily, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't caused trouble, would I have chased after you? You even tried to sneak away by climbing over the wall!"

Yue Tian protested: "Where's the evidence?! You need evidence to arrest someone, right? Old Man Yang, show me the evidence that I caused this trouble!"

Yue Tian's mother sneered.

"Hmph, you still smell of watermelon on you."

The moonlight was silent, speechless.

Well... I hid the watermelon and class was about to start, so I didn't have time to take a shower.

If I wash it, can you still punish me? I always keep a strong deodorizer on hand!

Despite being dragged home, Yue Tian did not suffer the severe beating she had imagined.

Yue Tian's mother simply moved a stool and a table and made him do his homework in the yard.

However, Yue Tian soon experienced the wickedness of human nature—no, I mean, the heart of a wolf.

The sun was scorching the earth, and even though it was afternoon, the weather was still unbearably hot.

Under the cover of sweat, Yue Tian buried herself in writing three times the amount of homework.

suddenly,

He heard a crisp chewing sound from the side. He looked up and saw his mother enjoying a chilled watermelon while sitting in a rocking chair under a parasol. There was even a small fan next to her!

I was working hard under the scorching summer sun, while my mom was leisurely eating watermelon under a parasol.

At this moment, Yue Tian's heart was struck a violent blow.

Mom, how could you be so heartless!

"What? Want some?"

Seeing her son's miserable expression, Yue Tian's mother smiled and picked up a slice of watermelon, handing it to him.

Without any hesitation, Yue Tian leaned forward and took a bite... but then missed.

"Hehehe, I'm not giving it to you. Oh well, you can't have any!"

With a broad, smug smile, Yue Tian's mother withdrew her hand, finished the watermelon in a few bites, and threw the rind into the trash can.

Yue Tian's eyes turned melancholy.

Mom, you've changed. You weren't like this before.

Looking at her son's expression, Yue Tian's mother smiled and adjusted the phone stand on the table.

Yes, my son is so cute. I'll record it and post it on short video websites and WeChat Moments later, and then show it to him.

What do you call this wave? This wave is called killing! People! Destroying! Hearts!

at the same time,

After climbing the mountain, the little titmouse carried the straw dog's head into the village. He trotted towards the old goat's house, intending to talk to the village chief about how to deal with the dog that could catch fire.

Arriving at the village chief's house, the little sparrow raised its claws and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Is the village chief home? I need to talk to you about something."

"come in."

Leisurely sounds drifted from the courtyard.

The little titmouse, having received a reply, pushed open the door and entered, while the straw dog on its back looked on curiously.

A tree of unknown species stands in the courtyard.

Under the shade of the tree,

An old goat was comfortably fanning itself while leaning back in a rocking chair and eating watermelon.

Next to him sat a black, unidentified creature resembling a demon, also watching the show.

Another corner of the courtyard

In the shadows beneath the wall, a cart loaded with watermelons was parked, and a white wolf lay on it, its tongue lolling out, white foam still at the corner of its mouth, looking like a dead dog.

Beside him sat a large black dog, emanating a chilling aura that even a straw dog could sense from the doorway.

"Hey, little titmouse, what brings you here?" the old goat asked in surprise.

“We met a dog on the way to the mountains. He wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, so we thought we'd bring him here.”

The little titmouse answered by untying the vines and putting down the straw dog. He looked honest and seemed not to want to leave a bad impression on the village chief.

The little titmouse looked at the white wolf on the cart with a puzzled expression.

"Hey buddy, who's this? I've never seen him before."

"He."

The old goat glanced over there and laughed.

"Yue Tian's dad."

"Oh."

The little titmouse nodded in sudden realization. He knew Yue Tian very well; he had a deep impression of him.

He tried to touch the flower on his head the first time they met, and ended up beating himself up.

Later, after hearing that he could regrow plants, he came over with a bunch of seeds and pestered me to do some kind of experiment, saying that he wanted to be the real-life Crazy Dave.

Later, I heard that his whole family was swallowed by a man-eating flower, but nothing serious happened to them. After that, they never came looking for me again, seemingly because they had been dealt with too badly.

"What's wrong with him? Why does he look so listless?" the little sparrow asked, pointing at the white wolf.

"It's nothing, his son got into trouble and he asked him to help deal with it," the old goat said calmly.

The straw dog weakly spoke up: "But he doesn't look well."

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I just need to rest for a while."

Moonlight's father managed to muster a little strength to wave his paw, then collapsed back down.

He was happily watching TV and having a drink at home with his wife at noon when his wife called and he was conscripted into the army.

It was the height of the sun, and Yue Tian's father was dragging a cart full of watermelons along a rugged mountain path under the scorching sun when a wolf did the work of an ox and pulled the cart back to the village.

Now, Yue Tian's father is so exhausted that his back feels like it's about to break, and he just wants to ask a question.

What kind of mess have I created?!

With a creak,

Just as the little titmouse and the straw dog felt sympathy for Moon Sky's father.

The gate was pushed open again, and all the beasts looked over. They saw Puss in Boots holding the doorknob, his body half-bent over, and he stumbled a couple of steps.

She looked like she was struggling to straighten up, and there seemed to be resentment rising from behind her.

She spoke slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth.

"Why? Di Ting...you...haven't come back? I...I'm...dying from the heat!!"
