The spring breeze has melted the Spring River Water.
Yezhi's family now has twenty geese; she sold all but the first two.
With the geese sold, Xiao Fan, Wolf Child, and Black Treasure were so angry they couldn't eat. Aunt Zhou was quite anxious, but Yezhi seemed unfazed, even saying that not eating was just fine—Black Treasure could lose weight, and Xiao Fan and Wolf Child could save food.
Black Treasure was starving, but it felt worse in its heart. Little Four, Xiao Wu, Little Six... they all grew up under Mama Bear's care. Would there come a day when it became an eyesore to Mama Bear too? Would she abandon it...?
The more Black Treasure thought about it, the more afraid it became. "Niu Niu Brother, do you think Mama Bear will one day sell me?"
Niu Niu considered seriously for a moment. "The owner won't abandon it; there's true love between them. You... well, that's uncertain. I think you should eat less in the future."
Niu Niu's words were undoubtedly the last straw for Black Treasure; it truly dared not eat anything anymore.
When Yezhi, Xiaobinzi, and Madwoman returned from their two-day stay in the county, Black Treasure fell ill, and Yezhi was frantic.
Hearing that a villager from Li Family Village could treat cattle, she hurriedly went to ask for help without considering if it was appropriate.
That person brewed a bucket of medicine for Black Treasure, but whatever was given to it came right back up.
"You little rascal!" Yezhi hit Black Treasure on the head hard.
Dazed, Black Treasure struggled to open its little black eyes and saw Yezhi in front of it. It lightly shook its head at her.
The villager from Li Family Village couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with the little bear-like creature but was certain that if it didn't eat soon, it would die.
Upon hearing this, Wolf Child grabbed a handful of pastries and forcefully stuffed them into Black Treasure's mouth.
In a coma, Black Treasure almost swallowed something but ultimately didn't dare to eat it.
Aunt Zhou cried out sadly, "Let's buy Little Four back. Yezi, you are not allowed to sell it anymore. Bao'er, eat something!"
Yezhi regretted it deeply; if she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have sold even if Big White's descendants filled the Zhou family home.
"Xiao Fang!" When called, Xiao Fang looked at the whole family crying around the big black creature and had a bad premonition. "What happened to Black Treasure?"
"Xiao Fang, hurry and find a veterinarian to save Black Treasure!" Yezhi murmured in Xiaobinzi's arms in pain.
By the time Xiao Fang brought the veterinarian, who looked like an elephant with a runny nose, Yezhi's house was crowded with people. The villagers had watched Black Treasure grow up, and upon hearing that it was gravely ill, everyone couldn't sit still.
"A few days ago, this little guy was rolling in the snow! I called it, and it nodded at me," Cart Master said with a choked voice.
"When I was eating, this little guy just stared at me without coming over to ask for food; it just drooled there waiting for me to give it something. Yezi, is Black Treasure too clever? Is heaven going to take it away?" Aunt Ren Er felt more convinced of this as she spoke.
The village chief, Da Zhu, Wednesday... all felt very sad. This little creature had brought them so much joy and helped them gather strength.
"Doctor, how is Black Treasure?"
"It’s really Black Treasure?" The Elephant-Nosed Veterinarian didn't expect to be called out in the middle of the night to see this family known for their beloved Black Treasure. He wiped his sweat; his initial dissatisfaction was replaced by nervousness. If he let this adorable creature die under his care, his reputation would be ruined.
The Elephant-Nosed Veterinarian examined it thoroughly and said, "It... is not sick; it's just hungry."
"Hungry? Then why isn't it eating?"
The Elephant-Nosed Veterinarian replied, "Animals have emotions just like humans do. Black Treasure might have some emotional issues."
Yezhi felt terrible upon realizing: this kid wasn't unable to eat due to illness, but rather he was refusing to eat on his own.
“Black Treasure, you little rascal!” She angrily slapped Black Treasure a few times, “Mama Bear, boohoo!”
“How can you still cry? You were perfectly fine, why go on a hunger strike? Didn't I promise to redeem the little ones Little Four? Why are you still being so stubborn?”
Black Treasure had no strength left to respond, but a few tears rolled down his dark eyes.
One Egg couldn't bear to watch, “Sister Ye, Black Treasure is like this, don't be so harsh on him.”
“If I don't treat him this way, he’ll die!” Wednesday, Da Zhu pried open Black Treasure's mouth, while Wolf Child and Xiao Fan hurriedly stuffed food into Black Treasure's mouth.
“Swallow it!” Yezhi shouted loudly, and in his dazed state, Black Treasure instinctively obeyed her.
Once he had something in his stomach, his consciousness gradually returned. He realized he had done something foolish; it seemed he had made Mama Bear, Granny Bear, Wolf Child, Xiao Fan, and Aunt Luo all cry. He felt like a bad child, and Mama Bear had even more reason to abandon him now.
Yezhi snuggled up next to Black Treasure with a blanket, “Sweetheart, don’t pretend to be asleep. Tell me why you’re not eating? What’s bothering you?”
For the first time having a heart-to-heart with Mama Bear, Black Treasure felt flattered. He wiggled his bottom and shyly said, “Mama Bear, are you going to sell me like you did with the little ones Little Four and Xiao Wu?”
Big-Nosed Veterinarian was right; animals have emotions just like humans. She knew this well but hadn’t paid much attention to it.
“I'll go on a diet; I’ll only eat a little bit.” He dared not refuse food anymore. Niu Niu Brother said that not eating would lead to death, and he didn’t want to die. He still had plenty of youth left to enjoy; he hadn’t found a wife yet or given Mama Bear any grandchildren.
Still thinking about giving him grandchildren! Yezhi felt like hitting him on the head again. Not only did she think about it, but she actually did it. Black Treasure covered his head and looked at her pitifully.
Yezhi thought that this lively Black Treasure was truly wonderful. “Black Treasure, do you know where your name comes from?”
Black Treasure blinked and said, "The meaning of Black Treasure is that you are the treasure of our family. How could we ever sell you?"
This was something Black Treasure loved to hear, but Mama Bear shouldn't think that just because it was young, it didn't remember her saying that its name was chosen casually.
Hearing that made it feel uncomfortable.
Lin Haitao squeezed over while holding Niu Niu. This wasn't the first time he had seen Yezi talking to the animals at home. He used to think this was just Yezi's habit; they were spiritual beings, but they couldn't possibly understand everything. However, he realized just now that he had been mistaken all along—Black Treasure really understood. "It's time for you to give Yezi back to me!" he said seriously to Black Treasure.
Black Treasure reluctantly hugged Yezhi, filled with resentment towards Xiaobinzi. Not only did it occupy its Mama Bear, but it also wouldn't allow it to sleep inside the house.
A person, a bear, and a dog began to compete for Yezhi. Having learned a lesson that pets also needed care, she rolled aside and refrained from getting involved.
...
Perhaps due to hunger in the past, Black Treasure became even greedier than before. This little one felt insecure without something in its mouth.
The small backpack that Yezhi made for carrying food reappeared, and the villagers eagerly stuffed more food into it.
Black Treasure happily wandered around the village, going back and forth with its little backpack.
"Niu Niu Brother, look! Spots, look!" Its show-off demeanor even made Yezhi urge it to tone it down.
