After the dog left, Zhou Ying sprayed some pesticide, then sat on a stone to rest for a while. She then took up the kitchen utensils and started cooking.
She cooked a pot of millet congee, steamed five buns, and stir-fried some mushrooms with meat.
After the meal, the two cleaned up the medicinal herbs they had dug out.
After the village quieted down, the two of them returned to the interspace with the items.
Later that night, the two of them slaughtered five sheep, two cows, and a donkey. They washed up and went to bed together.
In the middle of the night, Gu Chengrui heard Zhou Ying's fearful sleep-talk and immediately shook her awake. "Baby, wake up. You're dreaming. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment when she woke up. She returned to her senses and hugged him. She responded by nestling into his arms to calm her emotions.
