The night was deep, and after having had dinner and a late-night feast, Jiang Liu and his companions were thoroughly satiated.
Especially Jiang Liu, who had not only enjoyed a delicious meal but more importantly, had relived the feeling of devouring skewers late at night in his previous life. As the night waned, everyone had eaten their fill to the point that no one even felt like cleaning up; they all turned in to rest.
As everyone went off to turn out the lights and rest, the house quieted down and was shrouded in darkness. It was then that the yellow-furred rat, hiding in the shadows, cautiously crept out.
Approaching the extinguished stove to sniff around, it found that the several hundred skewers that had been cooked were all devoured by the crowd. However, there was one skewer that Jiang Liu had accidentally dropped on the ground. The rat's eyes lit up as it approached.
With its nose twitching, the yellow-furred rat carefully took a bite.
