Chapter 1261 Not Recognizing Good Things

Once she gets excited, she can't stop until she's vented for an hour or two.

But before Wuyou had gone for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Song Chunxue stood in the air level with the mountain, feeling the autumn wind howling, and saw the stubborn donkey running down the mountaintop.

On the hillside, some people were digging potatoes. When they saw the stubborn donkey come down, they excitedly stopped what they were doing and pointed at it, saying, "See that horse? It's been running around outside for the past two days. Do you want to go and see if you can catch it?"

"What are you trying? I still want to live. Yesterday, it ran up to me and its hind hooves swept over my head. That horse was fat and plump. We skinny guys have no chance at all. We might get kicked to death by it."

"Can't you say something nice? I just really admire that beautiful chestnut horse."

Song Chunxue discovered that her hearing was now better than before.

She floated down slowly, waiting for the stubborn donkey to run up to her.

The stubborn donkey was very intelligent; it came down the slope and stopped below the earthen platform in front of her, gesturing for her to get on.

"Hey, look where that horse is going! Why did it stop?"

"Huh? Doesn't it look like someone is riding on its back?"

"Huh? No, there's nothing there," the woman next to her scolded. "Don't say scary things in broad daylight."

"I'm not trying to scare you, but didn't you hear that? I felt like there was something flying in the sky, but I couldn't see anything. All the shepherds on the mountain have run away." The man seemed thoughtful, picked up his hoe, and said, "Never mind, we're on the sunny side, in broad daylight, so let's just dig our potatoes."

The woman sat angrily on the potato vines in the field, took off her cloth shoes and emptied the dirt out of them.

"You really treat people like animals! I don't have your strength. I dig potatoes all day and night. As soon as I open my eyes, it's digging potatoes. You make me get up early to dig potatoes before I go to bed. You plant so many potatoes, are you treating me like a donkey? You can't even harvest many potatoes. It's just potatoes, potatoes every day!"

The woman kicked the hoe. "Marrying you is so hard! You don't even let me rest. I haven't even had a chance to take a nap all afternoon. I'm making flatbread for your whole family. You raise so many people like wolves. I can't even pick up potatoes."

As Song Chunxue rode on horseback, listening to the woman's familiar cursing voice, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

Isn't that me from the past?

She didn't want to recall so many hardships.

The stubborn donkey descended the steep mountain path, while Song Chunxue floated in the air.

This path is too steep; you might fall into the ditch.

It's better to walk by yourself.

She asked Wuyou softly, "Where is he going?"

“I don’t know. We were all playing our own games yesterday. He was running back and forth on these mountain ranges, jumping and leaping, which made the children herding donkeys on the mountain shout along with him.”

"But how can their donkeys compare to our stubborn donkeys? They don't even look at the grain. They cleared two paths through the buckwheat that was growing quite well. Their owner pointed at them and scolded them for half an hour. So no donkeys are being let out here today. They're all afraid of being scolded."

Song Chunxue was both amused and exasperated; it was indeed true.

Livestock cannot withstand any instigation.

When she used to herd sheep, she was often driven half to death by the unruly sheep that ran around.

As they spoke, they had already walked along the ditch to the lowest part of it.

This is really a ditch. In the summer when it rains a lot, there is still a trickle of water in the river. But now that it's just autumn, it has dried up and all you can see is the soil color that has been moistened by the water.

It left behind rings of alkaline soil imprints.

But the stubborn donkey, stepping on the soft mud, wasn't afraid at all.

"Hey, be careful. If you get buried in the mud, I won't be able to pull you out."

This has happened before, in the summers before.

"Don't worry, that stubborn donkey isn't really a stubborn donkey," Wuyou said irritably. "He's already transformed into a dragon, have you forgotten, old man?"

Song Chunxue waved a peach branch to grab Wuyou, "Who are you talking about, old man?"

“Don’t you always think of yourself as an old man?” Wuyou pointed to the cave opposite. “The stubborn donkey went in. Go take a look. Maybe he can dig up some treasure.”

Actually, Wuyou wanted to tell her that the stone she ate didn't work as well as the dog. The dog looked at least half its former age, while she only lost some fine lines around her eyes, which weren't very noticeable.

Song Chunxue thought it was unlikely. If there really was a treasure here, Bai Xian, who lived not far away, would definitely know about it.

But she still followed the stubborn donkey into the cave.

It was dark inside the cave, and even though she lit a torch, her hair still stood on end.

"What a coward, what a wimp."

Song Chunxue gripped the Overlord Sword for courage, "Shut up, can't you see how cold it is here?"

"Oh right, you don't have flesh and blood, so you don't know what cold is."

"Waaaaah, you actually mocked me for not having flesh and blood, specifically targeting my sore spots! Song Chunxue, if you keep doing this, I'm not following you anymore! Lord Xie and Daoist Zhang are both much gentler than you. Can't you be a little sweeter with your words? Waaaaah..."

Song Chunxue took a deep breath, "Don't speak in a high-pitched voice, or I'll slap you!"

"Wow! This is incredible! Did you see that?!" Wuyou suddenly spun around excitedly. "Good stuff! Good stuff! Hurry up and pick it up! Otherwise, if someone smells it and comes over, you'll only be able to pick up farts to eat."

Song Chunxue immediately threw out a peach branch, "Speak properly!"

"Oh." Wuyou plunged headfirst into the various translucent stones in front of her. "So these are the legendary spirit stones? I want to eat them too!"

You don't know him either?

"I don't recognize it, but mmm, it's delicious, so delicious... *cough cough*"

Worry-free made noises as the piglets ate their food.
