Chapter 50 More

Zhang Er glanced at the bumpy ground and enthusiastically suggested: "Scholar, you have a small family, let's help fill these holes."

"Yes, let's fill in a few each and do it at the same time." Liu Cheng was also a man who knew how to handle things. He immediately raised his hand to greet the remaining young men.

Everyone came to help, not giving Shang Wan any chance to refuse.

Shang Wan was in a complicated mood. She thought that after she took action against Village Chief Lin, the villagers would be afraid of her and stay away from her, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It didn't even take a quarter of an hour to fill the hole. After all, the excavated soil was right next to it, so all we had to do was push it back into the hole and tamp it down.

After finishing the work, everyone said goodbye and soon only Shang Wan's family was left.

Xiao Huan was moved as she watched everyone leave. "There are still many good people in this village."

Stone nodded in agreement.

Shang Wan did not comment on this.

Shitou turned to look at her, "Sister, will the Lin family send the money?"

Shang Wan studied the jade pendant in his hand and answered casually, "Yes."

Shitou blindly trusted Shang Wan and didn't ask why he was so sure. He happily put the messed-up things in order.

Xiao Huan hugged Yuan Yuan and walked around in a circle. She came back and asked in confusion, "Sister, didn't you call Xiao Hui back? Why isn't he here?"

She originally thought that Xiao Hui was afraid of scaring people and hid himself, but now everyone has left and the gray wolf still hasn't come out, so she can't help but feel worried.

"It's the hero of today." Shang Wan glanced in the direction of the forest. "It will come back once the Lin family sends the silver."

Xiaohuan was confused, but seeing that Shang Wan didn't want to say anything more, she obediently didn't ask any further questions. She put Yuanyuan on the straw mat to play with the little turtle, and rolled up her sleeves to help Shitou with the work.

Shang Wan put the jade pendant into Lu Chengjing's arms, and at the same time pulled the thin blanket that had slid down to his waist to straighten his chest.

Seeing that Shitou and Xiaohuan could handle the pile of mess, Shang Wan bent down, picked up Yuanyuan, said goodbye to the two of them, and went into the mountains to move wood.

While no one is entering the mountain at this moment, Shang Wan wants to test Yuanyuan's ability.

"My dear, how many animals can you attract?"

Yuanyuan tilted her little head, her big, dark eyes clearly reflecting Shang Wan's appearance, and she said softly, "A lot."

Shang Wan wasn't sure how much "more" meant. She sat down on the fallen tree trunk holding Yuanyuan in her arms and pinched the little guy's cheeks. "Try and try to attract as many as you can. Don't let them roar or scream."

Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, and her clever little head tried hard to understand what her mother meant.

Shang Wan didn't rush her. He looked at the trees around him, wondering how many he should move back later.

"Come." Yuanyuan suddenly clapped her hands, and a strange light flashed in her big eyes.

Shang Wan lowered his head to observe her, listening carefully to the movements in the forest.

As the round little palms clapped faster and faster, the originally quiet forest began to boil, and countless running sounds came towards this side.

In addition to various birds, the first to arrive was a leopard. It moved gracefully and agilely through the bushes, approaching step by step, and stopped two steps away. Its green eyes stared at Yuanyuan, and its tail swung gently behind it for a moment, then it lay down.

Seeing this gesture similar to surrender, Shang Wan secretly raised her eyebrows. Yuanyuan's ability seemed to be more powerful than she had imagined.

Hares, squirrels, snakes, deer, wolves, wild boars, monkeys... Shang Wan couldn't even count how many animals there were. They were so densely packed, distributed in a circle with the two of them as the center.

Herbivores and carnivores live in harmony, and even their natural enemies don't take the opportunity to fight to the death. If someone else saw this scene, they would probably suspect that they were hallucinating.

The round little hands were still clapping, the strange light in the eyes was getting brighter and brighter, but the pink little mouth was starting to turn white, which was a sign of overuse of supernatural powers.

Shang Wan immediately grabbed Yuanyuan's flapping little hands and kissed the little guy on the white and tender face, "Be good, stop flapping."

The brilliance in Yuanyuan's eyes disappeared in an instant. She opened her mouth and yawned. She rubbed her little head against Shang Wan's arms and fell asleep.

Shang Wan pinched her little mouth open and fed her two drops of spiritual spring water. The little one couldn't control the output of her supernatural powers freely yet, so when she used her supernatural powers, someone had to be watching her closely.

The animals smelled the scent of the spiritual spring water, became slightly agitated, and tentatively approached the two people.

Shang Wan glanced over and the animals instantly froze, not daring to move. The furry ones stood on end, the hairless ones' scales fluttered, and the birds that were halfway through their flight fell down with a "plop" and buried themselves in the leaves, pretending to be dead.

In the past, if the animals encountered someone stronger than themselves, they would have fled in all directions. But now, because of Yuanyuan's special ability, they can't run away even if they want to.

Shang Wan felt that since the animals had been summoned, it would be a waste not to use them, as the fallen trees had not been cleared yet.

In the mountains and forests, the animals are like a group of free farmhands, grunting and clearing the branches and leaves from the tree trunks. Those with teeth use their teeth, those without teeth use their claws, and those who don’t even have claws find ways to cooperate with other animals and become porters.

When Shang Wan saw the familiar doe, he went over to greet her, and the doe was so scared that she dared not move.

About half an hour later, with the concerted efforts of the animals, the fallen trees were turned into bare logs that could be moved back and used.

Shang Wan was quite satisfied and continued to use spiritual spring water as a reward for the animals. The two sides cooperated happily.

Yuanyuan woke up not long after sleeping. Shang Wan rubbed her little face and said softly, "My dear, let them go back."

"Okay." Yuanyuan was still confused, but she accepted whatever her mother said and agreed directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the animals ran away in all directions as if the ban had been lifted.

Shang Wan glanced at the leopard lying motionless at his feet and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The leopard then slowly stood up and walked away with an elegant cat-like gait, looking back every few steps.

Shang Wan suddenly remembered another use for the beast-taming ability and reached out to poke the little guy in his arms, "My dear, do you want to keep the leopard as your pet?"

Yuanyuan tilted her little head and opened her short arms to hug Shang Wan, "Hold me."

"It's not about hugging, it's about raising a pet."

"Mom, hug me." Yuanyuan didn't care about the pet at all. She just hugged her mother Xiangxiang and rubbed against her.

Shang Wan: “…”

The cub is still too young, let’s talk about it later.

Shang Wan put a pile of logs into the space, took them out at the foot of the mountain, and easily carried one of them home.

Yuanyuan quietly stretched out her little hands to hold the wood and help her mother.

When Shitou saw Shang Wan coming over carrying the wood, he hurried over and helped put the logs on the open space.

"Sister, leave this to Xiaohuan to clean up. I'll go help you move the wood. It'll be faster with two people."

"No rush." ​​Shang Wan pointed at the log on the ground, "Try to see if you can move it first."

How heavy can a piece of wood be? Shitou had just helped Shang Wan unload the wood, and it felt quite easy. He didn't take the weight of the logs seriously at all.

He bent down and hugged the log, exerting force... and almost sprained his waist.

The stone lay on the wood and doubted life.
