Chapter 119: Eggplant, Come and Take a Bath Quickly
"Bones?"
Meng Ci pondered in his mind where to get bones, and when he saw Li Qiang, a sudden idea struck him.
"Shen Que, what do you think of his skull?"
When Li Qiang saw Meng Ci pointing at him, his eyes widened.
This man is a devil, actually letting the wolf eat people!
But thinking about how, in this post-apocalyptic world, people can't even get enough to eat, how could they have raised such a large wolf?
Could it be that they really fed the wolf human flesh?
"You, you treat human lives like grass!"
"I, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!"
"Uh!"
Seeing that Li Qiang could still speak, Eggplant's phoenix eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, then he bit down hard.
This guy tastes so bad, not as good as the cockroach from before.
Gradually, Li Qiang on the ground closed his eyes, losing his breath.
Eggplant noticed that Li Qiang had stopped moving and released his mouth.
He lowered his head and stared at Li Qiang, waiting for a minute to confirm there was no response, then happily wagged his tail and came to Meng Ci's side.
"Awooo!"
Eggplant wanted to rub against Meng Ci, hoping for praise.
But Meng Ci curled up on the sofa, repulsed, and said, "Eggplant, go away!"
"Don't come near me!"
Eggplant's tail stopped wagging, and he looked at Meng Ci with innocent eyes, not understanding why his master was so repulsed after he did as he was told.
"Awooo!"
Eggplant's voice was like a mosquito, full of grievance.
Meng Ci had no choice but to reach out and pat Eggplant's head, comforting him, "Alright, alright, don't be sad."
"Look at all the blood on you, it would be bad if it stains me."
"Wait until we get back, and I'll wash the blood off you before hugging you."
"Awooo!"
Eggplant was instantly comforted, and his tail started wagging again.
Before leaving, Meng Ci checked Li Qiang's breathing, unsure if he was faking it, and then took out a long knife to stab him twice more.
Only after confirming that Li Qiang had no reaction did the two men and the wolf leave.
On their way upstairs, they encountered a few residents coming down.
Seeing the white wolf stained with blood following behind Meng Ci and Shen Que, they were so frightened that they pressed themselves tightly against the wall, not daring to speak.
Meng Ci and Shen Que ignored them and went straight upstairs.
Letting these people see that they had a fierce white wolf would ensure they wouldn't dare to provoke them in the future.
"Brother Wang, did they kill someone?"
"Should we call the police?"
"It must be that thing they keep, which is neither a dog nor a wolf, that killed the person."
"But, will that thing eat human flesh?"
...
A deep male voice stopped the discussion, "Pretend you didn't see anything."
"Keep it to yourselves, it's better to avoid trouble."
"Yes."
The few people thought about it and found it reasonable; from the looks of it, they seemed very dangerous.
If they found out it was them who reported, it would be bad when they came looking for trouble.
Meng Ci and Shen Que paid no attention to their discussion.
Back home, Shen Que added water to the kettle and put it on the stove to boil, while Meng Ci entered a room, pretending to look for a basin, but actually retrieving a large basin from his spatial ring and dragging it out.
After the water boiled, he poured it into the basin, added some cold water to adjust the temperature, and directed Eggplant to jump in.
"Awooo!"
Eggplant looked at the basin of water, backing away with a cry.
No bath, scary.
Meng Ci frowned, "Come here, look at how dirty you are."
Eggplant was unwilling and growled, indicating for his owner to look outside.
It would rather roll in the snow than take a bath.
"Come here!" Meng Ci, not understanding Eggplant's meaning, waved his hand again.
If it weren't for not wanting to get Eggplant's blood on him, Meng Ci would have already grabbed him.
Moreover, Li Qiang had peed his pants, and Eggplant, who had fought with Li Qiang, was probably covered in blood.
Meng Ci was even less willing to touch Eggplant now.
"Do you still want to eat chicken legs?"
Growl, growl.
Eggplant ran to the door, indicating that it wanted to go out.
Shen Que said, "Eggplant might want to go out and roll in the snow by itself."
Seeing Eggplant's resistance, Meng Ci had no choice but to give up on giving him a bath.
"Fine, if you don't want to bathe, then go freeze outside!"
Worried about Eggplant freezing, Meng Ci and Shen Que had heated some water. Since Eggplant couldn't enjoy it, they decided to let it freeze instead.
Opening the door, Meng Ci led Eggplant to the rooftop.
Fortunately, the rooftop door opened inward. Meng Ci unlocked it, took two steps back, and braced himself for the snow to rush in.
Huh?
Meng Ci paused his backward movement, puzzled why the snow hadn't come in!
Taking a few steps up, Meng Ci reached out to touch the snow.
Hmm, it had frozen into ice blocks, no wonder it couldn't come in.
As he was about to call Eggplant over to rub off the blood, an idea struck Meng Ci.
The snow looked quite clean; could he store it in his space for use when it got extremely hot?
"Eggplant!" Meng Ci squatted down and whispered in its ear.
"Go down to the stairwell and keep watch. If anyone comes, growl twice."
Eggplant nodded and walked down to the spot Meng Ci had indicated.
Feeling that Eggplant was reliable, Meng Ci focused on collecting the snow.
But he didn't know how to get it into his space!
The snow was frozen solid; would he have to use a shovel to chip it away bit by bit?
However, before resorting to brute force, Meng Ci silently chanted "collect snow" in his mind while touching the snow with his hand.
Hey!
It worked!
When Meng Ci's hand touched the snow, a block of snow about one meter by one meter disappeared before his eyes.
When he probed his consciousness into the space, he found a pile of snow in the corner.
This amount of snow was naturally not enough, so Meng Ci continued to touch more.
In front, left, right, above, below!
Meng Ci touched the snow about twenty times before stopping.
The bottom layer of snow had been scooped out, and fearing that the top layer might collapse, Meng Ci didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly came out.
But thinking about the blood on Eggplant that hadn't been cleaned, he knew Shen Que would ask questions when they returned.
So Meng Ci called Eggplant up, closed the rooftop door, and directed Eggplant to come inside to rub off the blood near the entrance.
Meng Ci stayed by the door, ready to run if anything went wrong.
At first, Eggplant rubbed the blood off at the entrance, but as it rubbed, it felt that other spaces were larger and more comfortable.
So, while Meng Ci was drinking hot milk tea, Eggplant slipped inside and started rubbing around everywhere.
"Eggplant, come back quickly." Meng Ci didn't dare to shout loudly, fearing it would attract attention.
Hearing its owner's call, Eggplant, though still wanting to play, remembered it was a good wolf and obediently ran back to Meng Ci after looking at the snow and Meng Ci.
Meng Ci checked and found that most of the blood on Eggplant had been rubbed off, so he decisively opened the door and led the wolf away.
But after locking the door, Meng Ci thought that since the snow had been scooped out, if Yun Jingcen or others came up and saw it, they might become suspicious.
So Meng Ci took a bottle of glue from his space and poured it forcefully into the lock.
No one would be able to come here again.
