Auntie Li agreed immediately. “I’ll take you there after dinner!”

Auntie Li led Mo Guyun into the manor. The manor was not big, as there were only two floors. The second floor seemed like a place where one could stay the night. The first floor was a place used to make and sell fresh flower pastries. That part of the manor had collapsed. Perhaps it was because there had been no one around during the time halt. Fortunately, there were people working in the warehouse and the noodle room, so both places and everything inside them had been preserved.

Other than that, there were no other traces of human buildings. The buildings were surrounded by soil, and a small road was accessible by the door. There were also some scattered weeds. It seemed like the nearby weeds had been cleared.

Not far away was a newly-plowed field. Two women from the countryside were working there.

There were two young female pastry cooks in the courtyard. They took out the remaining noodles and made flower pastries. Then, they placed them in a huge pot to roast them. Under the pot were piles of stones. Soon, smoke curled up and connected with the clouds halfway up the mountain.

On one side of the manor was a small stream. The teacher led her students to the stream. “Little friends, let’s wash our hands and prepare to eat. We have to wash our hands, or we will get sick!”

After washing her hands, the teacher led her students to the courtyard, where they sat down. She then said, “We’re eating pomegranates. One each. We can’t choose!”

Wei Huo and the others were confused. Was one pomegranate each enough?

They then saw one of the so-called pomegranates. One pomegranate was supposed to be as big as an apple!

However, this pomegranate was about the height of a human. Its skin had been peeled open, revealing round after round of pomegranate seeds. Each one was as big as an apple.

The children’s expressions changed when they saw the pomegranate. A little fatty in black suddenly stood up. “I don’t want to eat pomegranates. I want to eat meat!”

The teacher quickly walked over to comfort him. “Little friend, you can’t be picky. Otherwise, you will be malnourished!”

A little loli walked in front of Lu Ren with a piece of pomegranate fruit in her hands. “Brother, have some pomegranate.”

Lu Ren was pleasantly surprised. “Thank you, little sister.”

He took the fruit and took a bite happily…

Lu Ren shivered and scrunched his nose. “It’s too f*cking sour!”

“Ha ha ha ha!” The children started laughing, and so did the little loli.

Wei Huo was a little surprised. He picked a fruit and ate it. The fruit was indeed sour, but there was a special energy in it. The energy flowed through his body, and all his cells became active.

“That’s right, it’s good stuff. Do you have any pomegranate seeds? I’ll trade something of the same value with you guys,” Wei Huo said.

Lu Ren’s mouth was filled with sourness. He did not feel any sweetness at all. He scrunched his nose and said, “Big Brother Wei, it’s such a sour thing…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a pastry cook put on a smile and said, “Little handsome guy, you are not aware of the effects of this fruit. You won’t feel tired throughout the day even if you eat one in the morning. You will recover after sleeping for five to six hours!”

Lu Ren was confused. “Why would you be sleeping for so long anyway?”

The two adults blushed. “What else could we do if we don’t sleep?”
