Lu Yu Niang was frightened by the scream just now. She covered her chest with her hands and her heartbeat only calmed down after a long time.

By the time she reacted, her daughter had already run away.

She frowned uneasily, lifted her skirt and ran after him.

And the other side.

Although Lu Yunxi is small in stature, his legs are very fast and he soon ran to the center of the village where the crowd gathered.

Looking at the bloodstains, torn clothes, and hideous wounds on the ground, she gasped.

She looked closely.

Isn't this injured person the brother Zhuzi who sneaked out?!

Did Zhuzi really get injured in the fields? It looks like he'd poked a wild animal's lair! This is terrifying! Were fields really that dangerous in ancient times?!

The villagers were talking in low voices.

"What happened? How did he get hurt so badly?!"

"I heard he ran out of the village on his own! Luckily he only went to the fields and didn't run up the mountain, otherwise..."

"Didn't we tell them not to leave the village?! Alas! The injuries are already very serious... Where's the doctor? Have you called a doctor?"

"Oh no! The doctor went up the mountain to collect herbs, and we don't even know which mountain he went to!"

Hearing this, Zhuzi's mother, who was kneeling beside Zhuzi, suddenly felt her eyes dim and tears streamed down her face.

Lu Yunxi gripped the bow tightly, feeling a complex and indescribable emotion in his heart.

If they had known this would happen, the villagers would have been like machines!

At least the children in the village won’t run around and won’t be in danger!

Lu Yu Niang was chasing her daughter and had just run to the center of the village when she happened to hear what the villagers were saying.

She glanced at the wound on Zhuzi's body and said hesitantly, "I have learned some medical skills before, Zhuzi's mother, if you trust me..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhuzi's mother held her hand tightly, nodded frantically, and said in a hoarse voice: "Believe! I believe you! Please help me, even in the end... I won't blame you!"

Lu Yu Niang stepped forward, took Zhuzi's pulse, and prescribed a medicine.

Fortunately, the doctor's grandson was at home. Although he couldn't prescribe medicine, he was very good at picking and decocting herbs.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, combined with acupuncture and healing medicine, Zhuzi's bleeding finally stopped.

Lu Yunxi couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her mother calmly directing everyone.

My mother actually knows medicine?!

Yes! Recently, the villagers have gained a lot of new settings and skills!

It’s no surprise that my mother knows medicine!

At this time, she was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, many people in the village had various skills, and her mother happened to know medicine! Otherwise, Brother Zhuzi might really be beyond saving!

A few days later, Lu Yunxi visited Zhuzi.

"Brother Zhuzi, did you sneak up the mountain? It's too dangerous! Don't do that next time!" The wounds on his body were all scars from wild beasts, which were frightening to look at.

"Of course not! How could I possibly go up the mountain and seek death?" Zhuzi's face flushed red, as if he had been wronged. "I just had a fight with a field mouse!"

"What?! Vole?!" Vole! Isn't that the creature she'd been searching for for days?!

Dad said that as long as I can defeat the field mice, I can enter and exit the farmland freely in the future!

No wonder we couldn't find any field mice even after searching the entire village! They were all in the fields!

"Vole...it's too early for you to even think about beating it now! You can't possibly beat a vole with your current form!" Zhuzi's face paled as he recalled something, then he shook his head. "If you want to beat a vole, you have to wait until you're at least fifteen or sixteen to have a chance of winning!"

Lu Yunxi was shocked.

Brother Zhuzi was supposed to be the best fighter among his younger generation, but he was actually injured by a tiny field mouse?!

Could it be that ancient voles were particularly ferocious? Or were voles actually ferocious, massive beasts? And completely different creatures from the voles of previous generations?

She pondered and found her dad.

"Catching voles? If you're ready, I'll take you there!" Dad glanced at her.

Thinking of what Brother Zhuzi said, Lu Yunxi decided to seek advice from the elders in the village first.

"Hey! You've come to the right person! There are certain rules for beating voles!" The old man looked around and whispered mysteriously in her ear, "As long as you smear vole feces on your body, no matter how hard you hit it, the vole won't chase you!"

She laughed dryly.

This sounded so fake! Even if it were true, she wouldn't want to put it on her body... put it on her body!

Afterwards, she asked other people, but after asking the whole village, she still couldn't get any useful information.

That’s all!

She just couldn't believe that with her intelligence, she couldn't knock down a vole?!

"Be careful," her mother said, straightening her collar with a hint of worry in her eyes. "If you're scared, ask your father to take you back! No one in the village has ever succeeded in catching field mice on their first try. Even the best ones would have to try four or five times before they could succeed!"

Lu Yunxi nodded, checked his equipment, and then walked towards the village entrance with his father.

Mushroom Village is surrounded by a two-person-wide yellow mud road. Only after leaving the village and crossing this road can you be considered to have truly left the village.

Lu Yunxi is the first among this generation of young people to cross this path!

It is said that in every generation, the first one who dares to step forward is the most powerful person of the new generation!

At this time, the entrance to the village was crowded with people.

As soon as they saw Lu Yunxi and his daughter coming, everyone's eyes shot over like searchlights, and they shouted words like "Do a good job" and "You can do it".

As for the children in the village, they looked at her with envy.

"Xiaoxi is really amazing! She's the first one who dares to walk this path! I'm sure she won't be afraid when we go hunting for voles later!"

"What's that to her?! I dare to leave!"

"Humph! You're just boasting. If you have the guts, come over here right now! Aren't you afraid of field mice?!"

“…”

Lu Yunxi twitched her eyes and felt like an animal in a zoo.

She walked through the crowd, walked a few hundred meters, and quickly crossed the road.

However, as soon as she took that step, her pupils shrank sharply.

What’s going on?!

There is only one road between them, but it seems like two different worlds.

There is not a single mouse in the village and the environment is mild and comfortable, but in this farmland, there are many field mice running around!

She hadn't used the wrong word; there were literally a lot of them! Not just one or two, but four or five voles per field!

I saw them running around in the fields, as if they were afraid that others couldn't see them. They were so arrogant!

"Dad, isn't everyone coming to kill the field mice?"

"There's nothing we can do about it... We kill one, and soon new ones will appear!" Dad said helplessly, "Unless we can get rid of the Vole King! But we can't find it!"
