Su Muyao kept having a strange dream where she died in modern times and then, with her memories intact, was reborn in ancient times. After a smooth birth, she was abandoned by her parents who favor...
Su Shuyao thought that since he couldn't wait to process the ginseng himself, he should just take it fresh and sell it in the next couple of days.
"Knock knock knock knock"
The Su family was still inside thinking of a solution when the noise outside made them jump up from their stools.
The two elders took the lead and headed outside.
It was quite clear that there were sounds of wild animals running outside, along with shouts from a crowd.
The commotion terrified Grandma Su; she was afraid that one of her many little ones might get hurt.
"Old man, is that some wild animal coming down from the mountain?"
Old Su was also puzzled, as he had just seen off several large wolves at noon.
The anxiety in my heart hasn't completely subsided yet. What if some wild beast comes again?
Su Muyao naturally heard it too.
Thinking about those wolves, it shouldn't be possible. They just went up the mountain at noon, and they wouldn't have come down again so soon, would they?
She was right; sure enough, there was a loud thud outside the door.
The door panel was knocked to the ground by a white wolf, and behind the white wolf, several gray wolves came swarming.
Each one had various kinds of wild game in its mouth.
There were pheasants and rabbits, and looking further back, there was a wild boar that looked to weigh four or five hundred pounds.
The lead wolf howled at Su Muyao. "Didn't you say you'd bring me some good water next time you came up the mountain? I just got back to the cave, and I could smell your scent as soon as I got back."
When I went to look for you again, you were already back. Did you forget to bring me that delicious water?
Su Muyao was dumbfounded. "Didn't I say next time? Didn't you just have drinks at noon?"
The wolf king felt wronged. "Yes, isn't the next time when you're going up the mountain?"
"Uh, wait a minute."
After saying that, Su Muyao went to the kitchen and took out the wooden tub for washing clothes.
He then put the spiritual spring water from the space into the large wooden tub before huffing and puffing as he dragged it out.
Just as they dragged it to the kitchen door, the family saw it and helped carry it out. The wolf king smelled that familiar scent and, without thinking, rushed forward.
"Stop right there! If you keep jaywalking like this, I won't give you a drink next time."
Upon hearing this, the wolf king immediately stopped in his tracks, and the area outside the Su family's gate was filled with villagers.
These people were carrying rakes, hoes, carrying poles, and one or two were carrying large machetes.
They were truly shocked today; they had just seen off the Wolf King at noon and he was back again so soon.
If it weren't for the fact that the wolves were carrying so much prey, these men would definitely have killed them.
Thinking back to what the old Taoist priest had said, that this lucky doll would bring good fortune if treated properly, I realized that it was a blessing.
This is meat from our own farm that we haven't even been willing to eat yet!
The wolf king stared longingly at the little dumpling, drool dripping from its mouth onto the ground.
When Su Muyao saw this scene, she really wanted to film it. It was just too cute!
"You drink first, and then hurry back and don't come down again."
Upon hearing that he could drink delicious water, the wolf king nodded eagerly.
This scene, witnessed by those outside, immediately sparked another round of discussion.
"Hey, look! That white wolf must be the wolf king, right? He's actually listening to Fu Bao!"
"I saw it too. That wolf is so intelligent that it even nods."
A young woman nearby chimed in, "I really want to touch its fur; it looks so soft."
"What? You want to touch it? Don't forget, this is a wolf that can bite your thigh off in one bite."
The woman standing nearby looked on with disdain.
But what he really thought was that the girl was a lucky charm, and that the wolf wouldn't bite her because she was born with good fortune.
If you went up there, they would devour you completely, leaving not even a trace.
The wolf king, along with his pack of henchmen, gulped down all the water in the wooden bucket.
"Little White, I'm asking you, how many wild animals live deep in the mountains? Are there any particularly fierce ones?"
Old Wang thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, many of them look alike."
I know of more than a dozen wild boar herds of this kind.
Each wild boar herd probably has only about a hundred members!
There were also elk, roe deer, pheasants, and rabbits. Lots of them, oh yes, and four tigers and one lion.
Su Muyao nodded. No wonder the older generation didn't dare to go deep into the mountains.
"Alright, you can go back now. I'll come find you next time. You should be able to smell my scent. I'll be waiting for you on the outskirts then."
"Awoo awoo," he said, "Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't call me Little White next time. I have a name, and they all call me Overlord."
Su Muyao's lips twitched. Was this name as nice as the one she had chosen? It was truly tasteless.
As soon as the wolf king was about to leave, the people surrounding him immediately dispersed.
And so, the lead white wolf, along with its pack of underlings, marched back to its territory in a grand procession.
This time, the villagers didn't disperse easily; they all crowded outside Su Muyao's house, chattering away.
This caused a stir even among the clan chief, who, nearly 80 years old, was helped over by his son, leaning on a cane and trembling.
Upon seeing this, everyone quickly made way for the old man.
"Xiao Su, come in with me, I need to talk to you about something."
Old Man Su hurriedly helped the old clan chief into the house.
Su Muyao was surrounded by people this time. "Sweetie, let Auntie hold you."
"Go away, don't scare our precious baby. Come here, Grandma will give you a hug."
And so Su Muyao was cruelly passed around to be hugged one by one.
She was feeling really down at that moment, but what could she do? She could only let these lovely people have their way!
Only after the clan chief finished speaking and came out were these people driven back.
But before leaving, he still hugged Xiao Fubao and said, "Call me Great-Grandpa."
Su Muyao wanted to roll her eyes. Just a second ago, this great-grandfather was saying, "What's all the noise about? Go home and eat. What's so great about hugging someone who's always in the village?"
So everyone dispersed, but unexpectedly, the great-grandfather, who was so old, still wanted to be carried.
Finally, after everyone had left, Grandma Su looked at the various wild game still lying on the ground.
Especially that wild boar that looked to weigh at least 400 pounds.
Su Sanlang circled the wild boar, marveling, "This wild boar is so big, it couldn't have been almost a spirit before the wolf king took it down, could it?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Su slapped her youngest son on the back of the head.
"Alright, alright, stop with the empty talk. Hurry up and carry the wild boar home."
"Luckily, the weather isn't too hot, otherwise it would all have spoiled. We'll need some meat for tomorrow's baby's first birthday party. Also, you guys should kill and process this wild boar later."
Old Man Su then came out of the house, saying, "We'll also send about 30 jin of meat to the clan chief's house later."
Finally, the father and his sons happily carried the wild boar to the well next to the yard.
At this moment, the boys in the house also came over. They had been forbidden from coming out by their grandmother, but now that they saw that nothing was wrong, they dared to crawl out of their rooms.
