Let's start by analyzing the sun

Dusk deepened.

Cheng Han entered Shanyi Ward, rode for a while, and spotted two small figures playing next to his house.

Despite being more than ten meters away, he immediately recognized them as the two children from next door.

One was a six-year-old boy named "Zhang Tie," and the other was a girl named "Zhang Wen," who was a bit younger at four years old.

Cheng Han muttered softly, "Could it be that the smell of the roasted bird from the kitchen last night spread through the flue and reached next door?"

It was early autumn, and the temperature had dropped to around fifteen degrees Celsius, making it quite cold, and it was almost dark. Why would any children be outside?

The only answer was that they were pretending to play, but actually wanted to smell the aroma of roasted meat again.

Cheng Han sighed softly, "Is this wishful thinking?"

The average income of civilians in Shanyi Ward was generally low, and the family next door had three children, so life was naturally quite difficult. They probably only ate meat once every ten days or half a month.

These two children must have been craving meat for a long time to do something like this.

Cheng Han jumped off his bicycle and pressed the bell on the handlebars.

"Ding-ling~"

The crisp sound of the bell startled the two children.

Zhang Tie turned his head, his face showing panic, and stammered, "G-good evening!"

Zhang Wen hid behind her brother, her little hands clutching the latter's clothes tightly.

Cheng Han looked at their patched clothes and gave a gentle smile, "Hi, would you like to eat some 'Mandarin Orange Candy'?"

He took out two candies from his pocket and held them out to the two children.

Mandarin orange candy was a common type of candy, sold in stores for four copper coins each. The price was not cheap, and low-income families naturally couldn't afford to buy it.

Perhaps only during the New Year or major festivals like the "Sacred Banyan Tree Festival" would these two children have the chance to eat candy.

Zhang Tie's eyes were full of longing, but he ultimately shook his head, "My mom said we can't take things from strangers."

Zhang Wen poked her head out, unable to resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Glug!"

Cheng Han deliberately feigned displeasure, "Hey, I've lived in Shanyi Ward for over half a year. Do you still see me as a stranger?"

Zhang Tie quickly shook his head, "I don't!"

Cheng Han asked with a smile, "If not a stranger, then an acquaintance, right?"

Zhang Tie was stumped.

The child felt that something was wrong with the sentence, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Cheng Han continued to tease the child, "Since we're so familiar, and I want to give you a little something, but you refuse me, isn't that too impolite?"

Zhang Tie wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to defend himself, and his little face turned red with anxiety.

Cheng Han laughed and stuffed the candy directly into his hand, "You must be a polite child, so you must accept the candy."

Zhang Tie was completely confused. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.

Cheng Han patted the heads of the two children, pushed his bicycle, and walked towards his house.

Zhang Tie looked at the candy in his hand, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly, "This candy is too expensive, we really can't take it!"

Cheng Han stopped, activated the Linghuan Remnant Seal with his mind, and his eyes became slightly deeper.

He turned back to look at him, his voice carrying a strange power, "Accept the candy and go home quickly!"

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhang Tie's eyes, and the resistance in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace. He responded, "Okay!"

Cheng Han curled the corner of his mouth, took out the key to open the door, and carried the bicycle inside.

In addition to enhancing mental strength, the Linghuan Remnant Seal could also quietly penetrate the spiritual sea of others, thereby influencing their subconscious and making them obey his will.

Zhang Tie was influenced by the Remnant Seal, which was why he listened so obediently.

Of course, with Cheng Han's current strength, he could only influence ordinary people and could not affect warriors or stronger individuals.

Outside the door.

Zhang Wen tugged at her brother's sleeve, her little face full of longing, "Brother, can I eat candy?"

The little girl licked her lips and added, "Just a small piece."

Zhang Tie shook his head, "We'll talk about it when we get home."

Zhang Wen immediately showed disappointment.

But Zhang Tie's next sentence made her happy immediately, "I'll cut each candy into four pieces later, two candies will be eight pieces, and then we'll eat one piece every day, so we can eat it for a long time."

*

As soon as Cheng Han entered the door, he immediately heard his black cat's routine greeting.

"Meow~"

Officer ran over in a puff of smoke, rubbed against his owner's trousers, then turned and ran a few steps lightly, stopping at the kitchen door.

Cheng Han followed and immediately saw a gray little animal lying motionless next to the stove, and a smile appeared on his face.

It was a rabbit.

Yesterday he told the black cat not to hunt birds anymore, but to hunt rabbits. He didn't expect it to actually bring back a rabbit.

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed, squatted next to the rabbit, and looked up at its owner, as if waiting for praise.

Cheng Han glanced at the rabbit, then looked at the black cat, and said in surprise, "How did you catch such a big rabbit?"

The rabbit's body length was longer than an adult's forearm, and its weight was estimated to be no less than five pounds.

The black cat weighed only about ten pounds, but it could capture prey half its own weight and drag it back. This was really surprising.

Officer flicked its tail gently, seeming quite happy.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head a few times and praised, "You're getting more and more amazing!"

The black cat narrowed its eyes and wagged its tail even more happily.

Cheng Han reached out and picked up the rabbit, feeling its heavy weight, and became a little worried, "Too much meat is also a problem."

When he was at school, he was fed by Qian Qingqing every day. Recently, Wan Tengjiao also seemed to show a tendency to feed him. After returning home, he was still being fed by the black cat.

He was so good at mooching off others that he admired himself.

Cheng Han took out a small knife, gestured at the rabbit, and sighed, "This rabbit is too big, and skinning it is a big project!"

He spent a full half an hour, getting his hands covered in blood, and finally skinned the rabbit.

Unfortunately, because it was his first time doing this kind of work, his skills were not proficient, and a good rabbit skin was torn in several places by the knife, looking tattered.

Cheng Han smacked his lips, "The quality is too poor, it's estimated that it will be difficult to sell it for a good price."

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed, as if saying: It doesn't matter, I can catch another one.

Next, he started to make a fire and cook.

Cheng Han first put a honeycomb briquette in the stove, activated the True Flame Remnant Seal with his mind, and waved his right hand lightly, sprinkling a large cloud of sparks on the surface of the fuel.

"Whoosh~"

The hot flames burst out instantly.

In the past, a little brown oil was needed to quickly ignite the stove.

In contrast, the former was obviously more convenient and faster.

The black cat squatted beside him, watching intently.

Cheng Han grinned happily, "I can save money on buying brown oil in the future."

Last night, he analyzed the sun again, and the completeness of the True Flame Remnant Seal increased by 0.34%, reaching a new height of 1.52%, and the temperature of the extraordinary flame increased greatly, enough to easily ignite the fuel.
