Chapter 415 Sending Pony
The leader wolf was no pushover either. Not only did he dodge quickly, he also jumped behind Shen Yi to launch a sneak attack.
The game between the man and the wolf was so intense that the four children could not even breathe.
Su Tai also peeked over, but she wasn't worried about Shen Yi's safety.
When she went out, she saw Shen Yi put on armor with her own eyes. He also had arrows and a crossbow, so it was no problem for him to deal with a wolf.
Sure enough, while she was eating a piece of bread, Shen Yi had already killed the wolf.
The four children cheered and shouted, and were about to rush out, but were stopped by Su Tai.
"Wolves are the most vengeful creatures. We must wait until all the wolves outside are dealt with before we can go out. We must leave here quickly to avoid any further complications."
When the four children heard this, they stopped making a fuss and sat down obediently.
When Shen Yuezhang heard Shen Yi coming back, he immediately handed over a bag of bread, “Dad, you guys are tired, eat something!”
"There's still water! Drink some water!" Shen Yuean came out holding a kettle.
The yamen runners were extremely envious of the two children because they saw how sensible they were.
"Master Shen is so lucky!"
Shen Yi raised his chin proudly. Compared to being praised by everyone for killing the wolf, he preferred to be envied by everyone because of his daughter.
"Sir, what should we do with these wolves?"
Shen Yi took a look and said decisively: "If you want to take it away, take it away. If you don't want to take it away, just leave it alone. It just so happens that the beasts on the ice field have been hungry for a winter and need food."
When everyone heard this, they abandoned the dead wolves and quickened their pace.
There were no further accidents and they successfully entered the town on the ice field.
The mayor came out in person to receive the news, and Su Tai and the four children went to the Ke family.
Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong came here once last year and were familiar with all the cousins of the Ke family. It was the first time for the twins to come here, and because they were rare twin boys and girls, they suddenly became the focus of the dozen or so children in the Ke family.
Everyone gathered around them and asked them all kinds of questions. The twins were very outgoing and quickly became friends with them.
Su Tai and Su Nizi were talking, and mentioned Ke Yunyun by the way, "My cousin is pregnant again, and my cousin's husband has also been promoted. Now my cousin is also an official's wife."
"That's great! God bless, God bless! My Yunyun has finally gotten her happy ending after all the hardship!" Su Nizi said excitedly while laughing and crying, "I must stay for a few days this time! I must talk to my aunt!"
Su Tai looked apologetic, "Aunt, it really can't be done. We have to leave for Qiongzi tomorrow morning. Chen Yi has become the county magistrate, and we don't have enough manpower at home. We have to go to Qiongzi to buy some people back."
"Why go so far to buy people? What's the matter? Life is better where we are now, so we can't buy anyone?" Su Nizi joked.
Unexpectedly, Su Tai actually nodded.
"Really! Oh my God! This is incredible! The herdsmen on our ice field have only started to live a good life in the past two or three years, but there are still many poor families. However, the girls here are more valuable than those there, and no one will sell their daughters." Su Nizi sighed.
Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's why I want to go to Qiongzi."
"Okay! My aunt is not unreasonable. Since you have something important to do, then next time, you must come and stay for a longer period of time!" Su Nizi reminded seriously.
Only after getting Su Tai's affirmative answer did they broach the subject.
In the evening, Chen Yi came back from the mayor and said that everything had been settled, but he needed the mayor to arrange a few days. It was just right for them to go to Qiongzi during these days.
Those yamen runners had never been to Qiongzi before. When they heard that there was an endless sea there, they were all fascinated and clamored to go on the journey together.
Shen Yi told Su Tai about this as a joke.
Su Tai was happy, "It's a blessing that they are willing to be with me! I'll give them a red envelope when I get back."
The couple took their four children to Qiongzi. To be honest, Su Tai felt a little uneasy. If there were more yamen runners, there would be nothing to worry about.
As soon as the two finished talking, a group of children came back.
Ke Jiafu shouted excitedly, "Aunt, Uncle, we took my second cousin to ride horses. They can ride ponies! Grandpa, I promised my cousin to give them two ponies, okay?"
Ke Dasong laughed, "You have the final say over your own pony!"
"Wow! Our Fu can raise a pony by himself! That's amazing!" Su Tai gave him a thumbs up.
Ke Jiafu was so proud that his tail was almost up in the sky.
Ye Chunhua slapped him on the head, "Why are you so arrogant! Which child of the herdsmen on our ice field doesn't know how to raise a pony?"
"That's different! The ponies I raise are the healthiest and they never get sick!" Ke Jiafu was not convinced.
The little boy's arguing appearance made everyone laugh.
Ye Chunhua couldn't help laughing and scolded: "You are the only one who has a lot of crooked ideas! Take your brothers and sisters to choose ponies!"
A group of children ran out again, and in just a short while, the house was in a mess, as if a swarm of locusts had passed through.
Ye Xiahua couldn't help but yell at the top of her voice.
Apparently everyone has gotten used to it.
In the evening, we had roasted whole lamb specially prepared by Ke Dasong and milk tea cooked by Sunizi, which are essential for herders to entertain guests.
The four children, who had been playing wildly for the whole afternoon, were already starving. They had been eating bread and cake for several days on the road. When they saw the soupy food, their eyes lit up green.
Shen Yuean, who was usually a bit picky about food, now ate everything with relish and didn't need Su Tai's care at all.
Su Tai took another look at the children of the Ke family who were gathered in a circle and eating with gusto. She had to admit that having more children did have its advantages. At least the food tasted more delicious.
At night, the couple slept in a room, and the four children insisted on living with the Ke brothers and sisters.
Seeing that they had a good relationship, Su Tai didn't care about it anymore.
Anyway, we have to get up before dawn the next day and set off on our journey.
On the road from the ice field to Qiongzi, we also encountered some wild beasts, all of which were small. They were numerous and powerful, so the little guys ran away when they saw them and did not dare to come forward.
After entering Qiongzi, the yamen runners and four children who had never seen the sea were all stunned.
The spring sea breeze was still a little cold, and everyone's hair was messed up, but no one cared about anything.
Seeing that everyone was fascinated by the view, Shen Yi simply slowed down, and everyone walked while marveling at the grandeur of the sea.
People who had only seen the Daxun River in their lives talked about it from day to night, and were still discussing it until they lay down to sleep.
The next day, they arrived at Xiaogang Village before noon.
The tide hasn't receded yet and there's no one on the beach. All the strong men in the village have gone out to sea, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women, and children.
Village chief Yu Xinghai received the news and ran out. Seeing that it was Chen Yi and Su Tai, he hurried forward and knelt down, "My lord, Madam, I calculated the date and knew that you would be coming soon. Everything is ready. I will notify the heads of other villages to come over."
The yamen runner knew that Shen Yi's family was engaged in seafood business. Now after hearing what the village chief said, he just thought it was a business matter between them and did not say anything more.
