It was an exaggeration to say that Famous was invincible. Its abilities were a simplified version of Galaxy and Old Time Tea’s abilities. Although Famous had learned to predict the future from Galaxy, it couldn’t choose the future like Galaxy; though Famous had learned martial arts from Old Time Tea, it didn’t have as strong of a body as Old Time Tea had. Even so, Famous was still incredible.
There was still an question left unanswered, why had Famous forgotten its name and identity?
The Zhang Zian ordered had turned cold. He went upstairs to heat up the food.
The pet shop was very warm. Famous was relieved after confiding in Zhang Zian and other elves. Old Time Tea continued watching TV. Richard tried to grab the remote from Old Time Tea. Fina yawned and continued sleeping.
Famous lied down, watching the TV screen.
After a while, Famous’s eyelids were drooping. Its eyes finally closed after struggling for a while.
…

Famous?

Just when Famous fell asleep, someone woke it up.

Is it time for dinner?
Famous looked up, thinking it was Zhang Zian calling it for dinner.

Famous, are you hungry?

When Famous what was in front of it, it stood up, its drowsiness instantly vanishing.
Old Time Tea, the young Old Time Tea who wore a hat and a gray jacket, stood in front of Famous with a smile and said,
Famous, you’re getting bigger, you need to eat more. I’m fine if I don’t eat for a whole day, but you are different. You should have eaten some beef last night.

Famous shook its head, looking around.
It was not in the Amazing Fate Pet Shop. Famous had once again come to the Temple for the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog in the wild mountain.
After one night’s sleep, the Chen family already seemed more energetic. The three of them were kneeling on a futon, holding sandalwood to worship the memorial tablets on the altar, asking the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog to continue blessing them for the rest of their journey.
The Chen family stuffed the remaining half of beef and roasted lamb’s head into a dirty bag. Of course, they do so until they had the Old Time Tea’s approval.
Famous asked abruptly,
Old Time Tea, where did I go last night?

Old Time Tea didn’t know what Famous was talking about. It replied,
Famous, why do you ask? You didn’t go anywhere. You’ve been sleeping on the futon all night. Famous, are you saying that you leave this shrine without my noticing?

It was impossible for Famous to leave without alerting Old Time Tea, who was extremely vigilant at night. Famous must have stayed in the temple all night.
Famous was stunned for a moment.
Old Time Tea watched Famous and asked with concern,
What happened to you, Famous? Are you still sleepy or are you suffering from an injury?


Forget it, I’m fine. I’m just sleepy.
Famous shook its head and sighed.
Old Time Tea comforted it.
Maybe you’re hungry. When the food is delivered today, you can start eating without me.

It’s not because I’m hungry, Famous thought bitterly.
After dedicating the incenses to the altar, the Chen family stood up and bowed to Famous and Old Time Tea, showing their appreciation for saving their lives last night.
Old Time Tea looked up at the sky and waved them in a direction, indicating that they should start their journey as soon as possible.
Chen Tiedian and his wife sincerely expressed their gratitude. Holding their child, Hu Wa’s, the three of them left the temple.
As soon as they left, Old Time Tea blew out the incenses since neither Old Time Tea nor Famous liked the aroma.
Around noon, another group of people entered the mountain.
This time, Famous remained calm. Famous and Old Time Tea already knew that it was probably Wu Ning coming to visit them again.
As the group of people approached the temple, Famous and Old Time Tea saw Wu Ning wearing men’s clothing and was riding a tall horse.
Famous and Old Time Tea were looking forward to her arrival.
During the year, Wu Ning would go to the mountain every two or three months to visit her saviors.
The days in the mountain were very boring. Apart from sleeping, eating, and practicing martial arts, Famous and Old Time Tea had nothing to do. The story of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop had been finished long time ago, and the opportunity to preserve justice didn’t occur every day.
Fortunately, when Wu Ning came to the mountain, she often carried newspapers and read the news to Famous and Old Time Tea. Famous and Old Time Tea would listen to her carefully so that they understood what was happening outside the mountain.
Her servants had followed her into the mountain several times. Before Wu Ning issued any commands, her servants had begun to perform their duties. Someone was bringing the horses to the river to drink, someone was cleaning up the dust and cobwebs in the temple, while the others were replacing the worn futons with new ones.
Famous and Old Time Tea didn’t eat yesterday, so they were very hungry. As soon as the servants put the food down, they began to eat.
While they were eating, a maid placed a lime-green garden stool on the floor. Carrying a few newspapers and magazines, Wu Ning sat on the garden stool and read the news aloud.

You know what? There is a new amazing writer,
She said excitedly,
I’ll read you something they wrote!

She opened a monthly magazine and read,
Everything requires careful consideration if one is to understand it. In ancient times, people often ate humans, but I don’t know much about it. I tried to look it up, but my history book is out of order and scrawled all over each page were the words: ‘Virtue and Morality.’ Since I couldn’t sleep, I read for half the night, until the words began to blur, the whole book filled with just two words, ‘Eat people.'

After she finished reading, Wu Ning put down the magazine. Stretching her neck, she smiled.
You probably can’t understand what these words mean. The first time I read this paragraph, it sent chills down my spine and I couldn’t get warm, even when I wrapped myself in a thick cotton quilt. Luckily, my father is not the person in the book.

Famous did not understand any of it, all it was wondering was why the roast chicken was overcooked. Old Time Tea nodded thoughtfully.
Wu Ning did not notice Old Time Tea’s reaction. She just stared at the distant mountains and murmured,
Although my father is not like the person in the book, he doesn’t want me to read these newspapers. I want to discuss these words with other people, but I have no one to talk to. I can only talk to you.

Old Time Tea looked at her sympathetically.

I almost forgot.
She picked up a copy of the newspaper, Shen Bao, and said,
Germany just announced its surrender. The war has ended, with China as the winner. The Beiyang Government had a grand military parade in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I heard that it was lovely. I wanted to see it with my own eyes, but it was too far away.

Famous was almost choked on a chicken bone, coughing a few times.
Famous looked at the headline on the Shen Bao. It was the year that had caught Famous’s attention.
1918.
An inexplicable feeling suddenly emerged in Famous’s heart. This number seemed to have a special meaning to Famous.
Famous turned to look to the west, not knowing what it was looking for.
After talking about the news, Wu Ning said something about herself, secrets that she had never told anyone before.
As the sun set, the servants urged her to go home. She said goodbye to Famous and Old Time Tea and reluctantly left.
Silence had returned to the Temple for the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog.
Famous tilted its head and said to Old Time Tea,
Old Time Tea, I have a new story. Do you want to hear it?


What’s the story about?
Old Time Tea was immediately intrigued.
Lying on the futon, Famous said,
It’s a very long story about how to make a movie. You’d better lie down to hear it.
