Chapter 108 Xiao Ci, It's Time to Train Eggplant

"Aowu, aowu!"

Eggplant let out several whines when it heard Meng Ci say he didn't want it anymore, its claws gripping the ground tightly.

Aowu, aowu.

Master, I don't want to leave.

I haven't finished my meal yet!

The white wolf turned its head, its eyes fixed on the food bowl beside the stove.

"Eat, eat, all you know is eating."

Meng Ci was exasperated; if he didn't discipline this guy soon, the house would be filled with its urine smell.

It was still bitterly cold outside, and opening the door for ventilation was a luxury.

At this moment, Meng Ci had already dragged Eggplant to the doorway and opened the door, letting in a gust of cold wind.

Seeing that Meng Ci was truly angry this time, Eggplant stubbornly lay on the ground.

Aowu, aowu.

Master, I promise never to mark anywhere randomly again.

Shen Que's gaze followed the man and the wolf. Seeing that Eggplant really knew it was wrong and understood that Meng Ci was just scaring it, he spoke up.

"Xiao Ci, I think Eggplant has genuinely learned its lesson. How about forgiving it this once?"

Hearing Shen Que's words, Eggplant quickly nodded, its eyes sincere.

Meng Ci pretended not to believe Eggplant's words and continued pulling it out.

"Get up and get out!"

"You can go wherever you want from now on, and mark wherever you please."

Aowu, aowu!

Eggplant refused to move, continuing to plead for mercy.

Its whining grew louder.

If someone downstairs heard the noise, they might attack them for keeping a wolf during such dire times when people couldn't even get enough food.

So Shen Que walked over and firmly held Eggplant's mouth shut.

Eggplant glared at Shen Que, feeling betrayed after having been grateful for his intervention moments ago.

Let me go!

Eggplant struggled.

"Xiao Ci, if you really don't want to keep it, just throw it out."

"To avoid trouble from anyone downstairs hearing the noise."

Hearing this, Eggplant, which had been struggling to make a sound, suddenly calmed down.

Meng Ci thought about it and agreed.

Then, pointing at Eggplant's nose, he warned, "This is your last warning."

"If you ever dare to urinate anywhere in the house again, I'll knock you out, have someone skin and butcher you, and turn you into food."

Eggplant quickly nodded, indicating it wouldn't dare do it again.

"Also, no more loud barking inside the house. If anyone comes to catch you, I won't protect you." Meng Ci added.

Eggplant nodded again.

Shen Que released Eggplant's mouth, and it indeed stopped whining.

After reprimanding Eggplant, Meng Ci, despite the stench, opened the bedroom window to ventilate.

The house was now freezing, making it unbearable to stay.

As for the shoes marked by Eggplant, Meng Ci made it carry them all out and then threw them into the stove.

Since Eggplant had forced him to endure the urine smell, he decided to make it suffer through the stench of the shoes all night.

Locking the doors of the bedrooms and kitchen, Meng Ci smiled at Eggplant as he closed the main door.

"Eggplant, have a good night's sleep."

"Bye-bye."

With the main door locked, Eggplant had nowhere to go.

Let it experience the same discomfort he felt.

As the door closed, Eggplant frolicked around the house.

Yay, yay, no need to be chased away by Master anymore.

But soon, Eggplant caught a strange smell.

Ugh!

Eggplant took a deep breath. It stank!

Then he looked around for a way to escape but found no way out.

He didn’t dare shout for Meng Ci to come back and could only lie on the ground in despair.

Shen Que squatted by the stove, adding wood, while Meng Ci sat shivering on the bed.

"If you’re cold, you can cover yourself with the quilt."

Meng Ci shook his head. "No, my clothes are dirty."

Shen Que could only intensify the fire and then suggested,

"Eggplant has so much energy; he just sits around at home with nothing to do."

"Perhaps I can bring him back tomorrow and try training him."

"Once trained, he could be a great help in the future."

Meng Ci thought this made sense.

"Do you know how to train dogs?"

Shen Que shook his head. "No, but we can give it a try."

The fire in the stove gradually grew, warming up the room.

Meng Ci took off his furry slippers and began to remove his outer pants before slipping under the quilt.

As for the rest of his clothes, Meng Ci removed them while hiding under the quilt.

Shen Que neatly folded the clothes Meng Ci had taken off and placed them aside.

Unbothered by the cold, Shen Que undressed and got into bed.

The quilt was two meters by two meters and three degrees thick, ample for two people.

Meng Ci didn’t hesitate to move closer to Shen Que.

Shen Que embraced Meng Ci, pulling him into his arms.

It was as if Shen Que had grown up eating something that made his body like a warm furnace, making Meng Ci feel even warmer than the heated bed beneath him.

Exhausted from their day, they soon fell asleep.

When Meng Ci woke up the next morning, Shen Que was already gone.

Fortunately, the bed was warm, and Meng Ci wasn’t cold. Even his clothes were neatly placed beside him by Shen Que.

Meng Ci yawned, grabbed his clothes, and went into the space to dress before coming out.

Shen Que had already prepared breakfast in the house.

Seeing Meng Ci enter, Eggplant rubbed against his leg and led him to the bathroom to show him that he hadn’t urinated randomly.

Meng Ci stood at the door, unwilling to go in, glanced inside, and left.

Eggplant was a carnivore who disliked water, and the bathroom smelled terrible.

Sitting on the sofa, Meng Ci began considering whether to train Eggplant to throw the bag out the bathroom window after using it.

But after some thought, he decided it would be immoral and abandoned the idea.

After breakfast, the two headed out and wandered to the trading point.

Zheng Yan had been anxiously waiting there and rushed over upon seeing them.

"Young brothers, you’re finally here!"

Without delay, Meng Ci took out the three condoms Shen Que had given him and handed them to Zheng Yan.

Seeing only three condoms, Zheng Yan felt a bit disappointed but quickly cheered up.

"Alright."

"Three condoms total three pounds and six taels of rice. We gave you two pounds yesterday, so today we’ll pay you one pound and six taels."

"Please check the numbers."

Meng Ci nodded, impressed by Zheng Yan’s integrity and skillful trading, thinking he might need his help in the future, so he said, "Just give us another pound of rice."

Zheng Yan refused, "That won’t do. We agreed on the amount yesterday, and I can’t let you lose out."

Zheng Yan picked up the scale hanging from his waist and a cloth bag, filled it with a few handfuls of rice, and began weighing.

Meng Ci said, "A few taels less is fine; consider it a gesture of friendship."

"If we need your help in the future, please keep us in mind."

Seeing Meng Ci’s sincerity, Zheng Yan didn’t insist further.

The bag weighed one pound and two taels, and Zheng Yan didn’t bother removing any rice, handing it directly to Meng Ci.
