This statement seems too coincidental.
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing that can better explain the abnormal fact that "two little girls can actually beat three wolves" than this unexpected coincidence.
Xia Youtian looked back frequently, but no wolves appeared behind him. They all returned home safely.
After entering the fourth room, Xia Youtian discovered that Lihua and Daohua had a few rabbits tied around their waists.
He sighed deeply and said dejectedly:
"Good boy, let's not go into the woods anymore, okay?"
Daohua said nothing. Lihua looked at Daohua, then at Xia Youtian, and asked stubbornly, "Why?"
Xia Youtian sighed again and looked at the two children's faces with a vicissitudes of life:
"Don't you know what kind of personality your mother has?
You encountered wolves this time when you went into the mountains, and luckily you survived. Next time, you might encounter wild boars or tigers...
Can you guarantee that you will be so lucky every time?
If anything happens to you, wouldn't that be like tearing out your mother's heart?"
That's true.
Jiang cried silently all the way.
At this moment, not only was her face covered with tears, but even her clothes were wet.
Lihua glanced at Xia Daohua. She had a vague feeling that this girl wouldn't give up so easily. Xia Daohua hesitated for only a moment before nodding.
"Okay, let's try not to go into the woods from now on.
However, if we can't go to the forest, there will be no prey, so we have to find other ways to make money!
I want to go to the market in town with Daddy and learn how to do business."
When Jiang heard this, she immediately objected:
"Don't go anywhere. Have you forgotten the story I told you about the beggar? Stay home quietly and don't cause trouble for your father! If you follow him, your father will either sell things or keep an eye on you!"
Lihua widened her eyes. She had seen Daohua's abilities with her own eyes. Would Daohua be angry after being rejected like this?
Xia Daohua smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll think of another way."
The sounds of the family dragging back their prey and talking to each other seemed especially loud in the quiet night.
Although the fourth family tried to lower their voices, they still disturbed the other families nearby.
They were all a little curious and a little sleepy, and they couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied when they saw that the fourth room kept talking.
Sun opened her throat and roared, her voice as sharp and sarcastic as ever: "What the hell are you doing? Talking in the courtyard in the middle of the night, can't you let me sleep?"
Mrs. Wu said nothing; she didn't want to bother with Mrs. Sun right now. But Xia Youxi had already rolled over and sat up. If the Fourth Brother's family didn't quiet down, he'd have to go over and see what was going on.
Cheng had her hair tied up in a loose bun and was wearing a coat. Just now, when Linghua came back and called Xia Youliang to the fifth room to help, she had just taken off her bun and hadn't gone to bed yet.
Xia Youliang was called away. She was worried about him, so she sat up and sang a lullaby several times to put Liu Lang and Zao Hua to sleep, but she herself did not sleep.
As soon as she stepped into the outer room of the fourth room, she saw three wolves and was immediately frightened:
"Oh my, this guy! This is too scary! Are you guys all okay? Are you hurt?"
Xia Youtian and Xia Youliang answered in unison: "It's okay, it's okay, no one is hurt."
The conversation between the few people made others even more curious. Old Master Xia also came over, wearing slippers and holding a pipe. He pushed open the door and asked, "What's going on?" He looked down and saw the three wolves: "Oh my! This is incredible!"
Old Master Xia smiled broadly. After confirming that no one was injured, he praised Lihua and Daohua:
"Good boy! You are worthy of being my Xia family!"
Xia Youtian and Jiang suddenly felt a little amused and helpless.
The old man's praise made the couple's cooperation today go in vain. Lihua and Daohua, the two daring children, were so happy that they lost their way and climbed up the roof to tear off the tiles every day!
Old Master Xia happily squatted down and touched the largest wolf:
"This wolf's fur is so smooth and sleek, it's really nice! Wolf skin is really good, it can keep out the cold and heat. I'll make a wolf skin mattress for you later. It'll be perfect for winter, so you don't get cold legs!"
Yes, that’s right. Wolfskin mattresses, dog-skin hats, sable coats, fox-skin cloaks, and deerskin boots are all famous specialties of Beiguan Town.
Such a complete wolf skin is hard to come by.
If you come across one and are willing to sell it, you can get a pretty good price for it.
If you are reluctant to sell it, you can make a wolfskin mattress at home for the elderly and children, which is also a very good thing.
"This wolf meat is also a good thing! Wolf meat is hot in nature and can dispel cold poison. Eating wolf meat will make you less afraid of the cold. It also nourishes the five internal organs, strengthens the intestines, and strengthens the bones to dispel wind!"
Old Master Xia looked very excited and listed everything like the back of his hand. The fourth family and the fifth couple were all stunned.
I haven't heard that the old man also knows medicine?!
Old Master Xia noticed everyone's surprise and boasted happily:
"When I was young, I knew a great ginseng collector, and he told me all this.
I've eaten wolf meat twice before, and it was really hot. After eating it, my whole body felt like it was on fire! Even wearing a quilted jacket with big holes in it, I still sweat all over!
Old Master Xia was beaming with joy, very proud, and happily distributed the items:
"Let's eat this wolf meat at home first, there's no rush to sell it!
Especially your mother. When she was young, she never used hot water to wash clothes in order to save firewood.
Her hands were so cold they were deformed, and her joints were swollen. Now that she was old, the pain was excruciating, but she always endured it and never complained.
Fourth Brother, keep all this wolf meat for your mother. I'll pay you for it later!"
The topic suddenly changed, and Xia Youtian almost stumbled. As soon as he realized it, he quickly refused:
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about! My mother ate some of my wolf meat, and I can still ask you for money? What kind of person am I then?"
Old Master Xia grinned and laughed even more happily:
"Okay, I knew you were a filial person!
You guys should eat some too. Children, especially girls, should eat more. Girls, eating something warming is good for your health.
However, you brothers only need to eat one meal, and leave the rest for your mother to eat slowly.
I think if she eats this for the whole winter, the cold poison in her body will be eliminated a lot."
The old man's expression was one of joy and relief, with a hint of luck and satisfaction, which made Xia Daohua feel that what he said was serious.
Xia Daohua wasn't sure if wolf meat actually had all these benefits. After all, in the world she came from, wolves were protected animals and couldn't be eaten.
After arranging the ownership of the wolf meat, Old Man Xia stared at the rabbits with burning eyes.
