Chapter 44 Daring to Say Anything

The tiger had a fist-sized wound on its left front foot, from which blood was still flowing, and its whole body was covered with wounds of all sizes. The fur on its face was covered with blood and mud, making it look disheveled and pitiful.

Su Yan, ignoring the drool still on her face, rushed forward to check. She touched the wound on its foot, and the mighty claws reflexively recoiled, baring its teeth as if to tell her it was in pain.

"My God!" Su Yan pointed at the huge wound, tilting her head up and asking, "How did this happen?"

Wei Wu lowered his head and nuzzled her neck, looking utterly pitiful.

"Roar!" The tiger went hunting in the deep mountains, only to encounter a pack of wolves and a group of leopards. They actually mistook this great king for prey! The tiger only had four paws and was almost torn apart by those dead leopards! In the end, the tiger bit them all to death! But the tiger was injured, the tiger was tired, and the tiger could no longer run. It took a long time to walk back.

Su Yan's brow twitched violently, and she asked, "Is this the place where you took me to find He Shou Wu last time?"

"Roar!" No, it's the deeper mountains. It's too dangerous there. All sorts of strange things can be found there. You're not allowed to go.

After roaring powerfully, he grinned at her.

Su Yan understood its meaning and immediately felt a pang of heartache, saying, "There's enough prey around here for you to eat. Why did you run off to such a dangerous place? What if you couldn't beat the other animals and died? Then you wouldn't be able to eat what I brought anymore."

Mighty: "Roar~" There's lots of grass in the deep mountains. Tiger was bored and went in to wander around, planning to find some grass for you. I've hidden the grass, and I'll go get it for you now.

Wei Wu turned and was about to run away.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment. Just as it jumped up, she hurriedly grabbed its tiger tail and scolded it impatiently, "What's your hurry? If you don't treat the wound on your paw, it will bleed to death! Wait here for me for a bit, and eat some zongzi to replenish your strength. I'll go find some hemostatic medicine to treat your wound."

She was both angry and touched. How could such a clear-headed and foolish tiger dominate this mountain?

She had only given it food a few times, and it had so easily risked its life for her. Su Yan couldn't quite describe the feeling, and tears streamed down her face.

The majestic tiger, which had been waving its paws, became anxious and started circling around her when it saw her crying. "Roar!" Why are you crying? Even a tiger that's injured doesn't cry, and the tiger didn't attack you! How can you, a two-legged creature, just start crying like that?

Seeing its anxious look, Su Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears. She pretended to be impatient and nudged it, saying, "Alright, just wait here for me."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the sickle and walked away.

There are many hemostatic and anesthetic herbs around here, and even anti-inflammatory herbs; she doesn't have to go far to see them.

This place is surrounded by majestic territory, and many animals dare not approach, so she is not worried about her safety.

About five minutes later, Su Yan returned with a large stack of medicinal herbs, crushed them into juice, and applied it to Wei Wu's feet.

It was bitten severely in this one spot, so it was bleeding profusely; the other wounds were minor.

This was the first time Weiwu had treated a wound like this. In the past, it would just let it heal on its own. Considering how Su Yan had been crying earlier, it was obedient and remained still while she did whatever she wanted. Gradually, under the influence of the anesthetic, it lay down and fell asleep.

Su Yan only realized it was asleep after she finished dealing with it. Even half of its favorite zongzi was left uneaten. Although Weiwu itself didn't feel anything, the blood loss had already begun to affect its appetite.

It seems we need to restore the ginseng before we can look for it again.

It was still early, so Su Yan picked some insect-repelling herbs and placed them next to Weiwu. Then she moved the rice dumpling to its mouth, took a pheasant from the pit, and then carried the basket down the mountain.

When they arrived home, the wall had already been built. Li Juan was settling the wages for Li Zhongnan and his two sons. Each of them received two jin of cured pork belly. Li Zhongnan's third son, Li Yongcheng, wanted one jin of spare ribs. His wife had just given birth, and he wanted to make soup with the spare ribs to help her recover.

Su Yan thought for a moment and then handed over the pheasant she was carrying. "Cured pork ribs aren't very nutritious. Uncle Li, take this pheasant back and make soup for your aunt. Adding a crucian carp will also help with lactation."

Li Zhongnan got married late; her third son was twenty-three when he had a child. According to seniority, it wouldn't be wrong for her to call him Uncle Li the Third.

Li Yongcheng, who was a bit socially awkward, quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I'll just go to town and catch one for my wife, thank you."

“The nutritional value of farm chickens and pheasants is not on the same level. My family has a nest of pheasants, so please don’t refuse, Uncle.” Su Yan directly stuffed the pheasant into Uncle Li’s hands.

Grandma Li said from the side, "This girl is a good child. She gave it to you, so just take it. Besides, Xiuqin is at the age where she needs to nourish her body."

Li Yongcheng was in a dilemma and looked at his father with a pleading expression.

Li Zhongnan nodded to him, "Take it back. If Su Yan's family ever needs anything in the future, you'll have to lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Li Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Su Yan, "Thank you. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask me, and I'll definitely help."

He really wanted the pheasant; even if he didn't eat it, his wife and children would, since there was nothing more nutritious than pheasant soup.

After the three members of the Li family left, Li Juan said, "Ayan, why are you so generous?"

Su Yan said nonchalantly, "Mom, I didn't give it to you for no reason. I heard from Grandpa that Secretary Li's family has already divided their property. Uncle Li is the most honest, and he didn't get as much as his two older brothers. His family is also not well-off. Moreover, Uncle Li did the hardest and dirtiest work when building the wall. Although I don't say anything, I'm not blind."

Li Yong'an, the eldest brother of Uncle Li, was also a hard worker, but he was unwilling to do dirty or tiring work, so he left all the work to his third brother, Li Yongcheng.

Li Juan thought about it for a moment and realized that Li Yongcheng had indeed done more work these past two days. Once she understood that, she stopped worrying about it and went back to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Su Yan poured herself a glass of water and drank it. Meanwhile, Granny Li, who was picking vegetables, said, "You didn't tell your mother everything just now, did you?"

Su Yan paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly after a few seconds. She put down her water glass and said, "Grandma, is there some kind of old monster hiding in your body? How come nothing can be hidden from you?"

Grandma Li snorted and said proudly, "I've lived almost my whole life, and I see through everything."

“Uncle Li is limping,” Su Yan said calmly. “His older brother knew he was injured but still made him do dirty and tiring work. Secretary Li isn’t so fair to the children.”

The implication is that someone who can't even be a good father can't be fair and just when it comes to important matters.

Grandma Li quickly glanced around before glaring at her and saying, "You silly girl, how dare you say anything out loud? Aren't you afraid someone will hear you?"
