Chapter 458 She...how dare she!

There are two villages near the forest. Because they are not too far from the town, they are not very poor and most of the villagers are simple in nature.

Bai Wutong took Chan'er and Yingchun with him and proposed to find a few craftsmen to help build a wooden house in the forest.

The village chief was a hunchbacked old man in his sixties with wrinkles all over his face. Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, if you delicate girls go in, you will die in a few days! Someone once went in to look for medicinal herbs and encountered a giant insect. If he hadn't run fast, he would have almost died!"

Bai Wutong didn't waste any words and directly took out the silver. "As long as anyone is willing to help me repair the wooden house, I will give one thousand taels of silver to each person as a reward."

One thousand taels!

Hearing this, the village chief was shocked.

They worked hard on the farm, but could only earn a dozen taels of silver at most in a year, which was enough to support a family of seven or eight for more than a year, and they could even save some of it. One thousand taels was a huge sum of money that they could not even imagine!

A sturdy man walked out of the house next door. He looked to be in his thirties, with calloused hands. "I am a hunter. I am willing to go into the mountains with you, but you have to keep your word. These two girls have to stay here, so you don't default on your debt."

"Okay." Bai Wutong agreed without saying a word and clapped her hands.

In just a few breaths, a dozen men in black came out from the side, wearing long swords on their waists, and they were obviously martial artists.

This is the secret guard that Yunhe assigned to Bai Wutong, and he asked her to take him with her no matter what.

When traveling, the secret guards would sit in the second carriage or move around. When they were resting, they each found a place to hide and protect Bai Wutong and the other two.

"These are my guards. If you dare to hurt them, don't blame me for being rude."

The sturdy man looked around cautiously and nodded. He didn't notice when these people entered the village. They walked silently and their murderous aura was frightening.

Bai Wutong, Yingchun and the other two were not dressed like ordinary people, so he didn't dare to provoke them and had no intention of doing anything.

Upon seeing this, the village chief hurriedly called out the men in the village.

When they heard that there was actually 1,220 taels of silver, many people were tempted, but in the end, only a small number of them agreed to go into the mountains with them.

After all, you have to have a life to spend money in order to make it.

Bai Wutong assigned secret guards to protect Yingchun and Chan'er, and he led these men into the forest.

Some of them held bows and arrows, while others held axes. They carefully looked around, fearing that something might happen if they were not careful.

It took about half an hour to walk.

A big insect walked out slowly.

"Big bug!"

“Run!”

Bai Wutong shouted sternly, "Don't be afraid, this is my friend, it's here to pick me up, so there won't be any danger on our way there."

After saying that, she walked towards the big beast.

The men behind her stopped unconsciously and stared at the slim woman in front of them.

She...how dare she!

Bai Wutong walked up to the big bug, raised his hand and rubbed its head, "Thank you for coming to pick me up. I'll need you to take us out later."

The big insect snored.

The men's eyes widened. She was actually friends with Da Chong. This... this was simply unbelievable!

Bai Wutong turned around and smiled, "Let's go, don't worry, it will never hurt you. If you want one thousand taels of silver, you must be brave. If any of you are afraid now, then go back."

Seeing that the tiger really had no intention of hurting anyone, they gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

When they reached the creek, Bai Wutong stopped and said, "Just stay near here. You can clear the weeds first. You have already made a mark. You can come in by yourselves in a few days. By the way, you need to bring in the wood by yourselves. I won't touch any tree here."

The men looked at each other, then looked at the big tiger in fear, and then they dared to start working.

They were busy until it was almost dark and then they left in a hurry.

When they went out, Bai Wutong sent them out and asked them to make a mark.

A few days later.

They all dragged the wood in themselves.

Perhaps because they have come here more often and have seen more big beasts, they are not too scared and can even chat with Bai Wutong.

"Madam, how did you...how did you know this big insect?"

"We have been friends for many years. I used to live here."

"Are you a herbalist? Why haven't we seen you before?"

Bai Wutong lowered his eyes, "I seldom go out, and I've been away from here for more than ten years. It's normal that you don't recognize me."

Seeing that she seemed unwilling to say more, the men stopped asking questions and just worked honestly.

It took half a month.

A log cabin was built.

It was a hot summer after that, but it was just cool enough here, so Bai Wutong didn't have to worry about keeping warm at all, not to mention that she had the big insect to accompany her day and night.

After receiving their wages, Chan'er and Yingchun also came in.

They agreed to go out to buy food once every half a month so they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

It was Chan'er and Yingchun's first time living in the mountains. They were very scared and kept looking around.

Suddenly, Chan'er's eyes widened, "Big...big bug! Madam!"

Without a second thought, she stood in front of Bai Wutong, trembling with fear, "My Lady, please leave!"

Bai Wutong covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, this is my friend, I came in just to keep her company."

The big beast lay down directly beside Bai Wutong, and did not forget to hold her in its arms with its big claws.

Chan'er and Yingchun were stunned, "Your Majesty... is so majestic!"

Bai Wutong rubbed its soft fur, "You can only move around the wooden house. This is its territory. If you go deeper, if you encounter any danger, even if I hear it, it will be too late to rush over. Do you understand? Pack up, we will live here from now on."

Chan'er and Yingchun entered the wooden house stiffly and began to clean.

"Yingchun... the queen's friend is actually a giant insect!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that no one would believe it if I told them." Yingchun was a little braver than Chan'er. She looked at the big bug from time to time and said, "If it is really the queen's friend, can we touch the big bug too?"

Chan Er shuddered, and instantly got goose bumps. "Come on, I don't dare! Hurry up and get the queen to come in and rest. I'm really afraid that the big insect will swallow the queen in one gulp. Its head is bigger than the queen's body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wutong's silver bell-like laughter came from outside.

Chan'er paused, "The Queen seems...really happy. I've never heard her laugh like this before."

Yingchun nodded, with a complicated look on her face, "No matter what, I will not leave the queen. If she is happy, I am happy."
