Chapter 86 I will pay

The girl's name is Shen Yi, the daughter of a hunter in the village. Her father is away most of the time, so Shen Yi is the only one at home all year round.

Two years ago, Shen Yi's father found A Tian in the mountains. When he brought him back, A Tian was only wrapped in a piece of rag-like clothes, which was dirty and messy. His hair was also dirty, mixed with grass and leaves, and covered with mud.

The father said that he found him in a wolf den. The mother wolf died, and only the boy was left guarding the mother wolf's body.

He was afraid that Shen Yi would be lonely at home, so he brought her home.

The boy originally had no name, and the name A Tian was given to him by Shen Yi.

Because there was a new person in the family, A Tian also had a new home.

A-Tian was raised by wolves. He can't speak, eat properly, or understand the human way of life.

He can crawl on all fours very quickly and can chew raw meat.

He learned all his survival skills from wolves. In order to adapt to survival, his canine teeth are sharper than those of ordinary people.

At first, A-Tian was very defensive against Shen Yi. As long as Shen Yi approached, he would bare his teeth and roar.

Shen Yi could only try to approach him slowly.

His father gave A-Tian a bath and cleaned him up. Shen Yi found that A-Tian was actually a handsome boy with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

But during this bath, A-Tian left several bloody teeth marks on his father's wrist.

The father thought that A-Tian was too dangerous. Shen Yi was a delicate little girl, and it would be bad if she was hurt by this young man.

So he wanted to send A-Tian away.

Shen Yi refused. She felt that A-Tian was not bad, because A-Tian had never attacked her actively. He just felt alert when facing a stranger in an unfamiliar environment.

The father couldn't persuade Shen Yi, so he built a small house on the small open space next to the house and gave it to A-Tian to live in.

He said that Shen Yi could keep A-Tian if she wanted to, but A-Tian could not live with Shen Yi. This was for Shen Yi's sake.

One reason was that Shen Yi was an unmarried girl, and the other was that he was afraid that A-Tian would attack Shen Yi.

The father would not stay at home forever. When the father left, only Shen Yi and A-Tian were left at home.

The days passed fairly ordinary. Shen Yi liked to teach A-Tian how to eat, use chopsticks, and talk.

In this way, A-Tian gradually let down his guard against Shen Yi and became Shen Yi's playmate.

...

"Miss Shen, why don't you stop explaining, take a break, and catch your breath."

Shen Yi panted with every step, her throat almost smoking from exhaustion, but she still insisted on telling Yu Chi and Gu Jue about A-Tian's origins.

She was very tired from talking, and Gu Jue was also tired from watching.

Shen Yi had walked this mountain road countless times, and she was very familiar with it.

It would be too late to catch up with those villagers.

They didn't want to confront Shen Yi head-on.

Shen Yi's father was a hunter, who was strong and fierce, and could knock a person unconscious with a slap.

Moreover, Shen Yi is now at the age of getting married, and the arranged marriage is with the son of a wealthy family in the village.

They can't afford to offend Shen Yi, so they can only carry Shen Yi to the mountain.

They have only one goal, to drive away, or to kill A Tian.

When Shen Yi and his friends arrived, A Tian was standing at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain, surrounded by wolves, and facing him were villagers holding torches.

A Tian's eyes were sharp, and he wore a necklace made of wolf teeth around his neck. The tooth came from his "mother".

"Stop, what do you want to do!?"

Seeing someone raised the hoe, Shen Yi went over and pushed everyone away, walked through the crowd, stood in front of A Tian, ​​opened his arms, and protected the boy behind him.

She was not tall, even a head shorter than A-Tian, ​​but she looked very tall when she stood in front of A-Tian.

A-Tian looked at the girl in front of him, and his sharp eyes suddenly narrowed.

Thinking of this, Ye Qi did not move, but just thought it would be better to observe it again.

When Ye Qi was observing Gu Jue, Yu Chi's eyes fell on Ye Qi's face vigilantly.

Ye Qi noticed his gaze, came back to his senses and asked him.

"Master Yu Chi, is there something on my face?"

Yu Chi just smiled and nodded his face, Ye Qi did not understand.

Instead, Jiang Xu came up to Ye Qi and laughed out loud.

"Uncle Master, there is tea on your face!"

Ye Qi quickly wiped his face, and pressed Jiang Xu's head onto the table with a palm, making a "bang" sound.

He was already old, and the people present were all youngsters. His image was half lost when they just met.

His eyes met Gu Jue's clear eyes, and his heart was dumb.

Should... they are all youngsters, right?

After the dishes came up, Jiang Xu took the chopsticks and said, "I'm welcome?"

Seeing Yu Chi nodded, he started to eat.

Two meat and one vegetable, Yu Chi asked for two more dishes and a soup.

At the end of the meal, Jiang Xu patted his stomach with a satisfied look. He had eaten enough dry cakes along the way, and he would sleep more soundly tonight.

After dinner, Yu Chi and Gu Jue returned to their room. They could still hear the voices of Jiang Xu and Ye Qi as they went up the stairs.

"Uncle Master, why can't we live in the upper room?"

"Because the money approved by your master doesn't allow you to live in the upper room."

"What will happen if you live there?"

"You'll be starving for the next few days."

"Your little treasury..."

"I've told you many times that I don't have a little treasury."

"Then what's hidden in your shoes?"

Gu Jue and Yu Chi stood at the back of the crowd, watching the scene in front of them.

The person in the front should be the village chief. When he saw Shen Yi, he stamped his feet, sighed, and turned his head away.

They thought it was late at night and Shen Yi should be asleep.

"Girl, do you really have to protect him?"

Shen Yi nodded.

"Yes, I must."

"Then did you know that two chickens were bitten to death in Auntie Wang's house yesterday?"

The crowd was a little noisy. When the village chief said this, he felt a little sorry. Two fat chickens were bitten to death.

When Auntie Wang found out, she cried on the spot.

People in the village are not rich. The chickens they raise are expected to lay eggs, but they are bitten to death again.

Shen Yi bit her lower lip and pulled out the purse hanging on her waist.

"I'll pay!"

But when she opened the purse, there was not much money in it. Her father had not come back yet, and she was almost out of money. She was a little embarrassed for a moment.

The village chief saw her embarrassment and felt helpless.

"Girl from the Shen family, it's been two years. You can't afford to pay for him for your whole life."

Shen Yi lowered her head in silence.

At this time, a silver coin was thrown over and landed at her feet. She looked at the silver and subconsciously looked at Yu Chi and Gu Jue.

The villagers here would not help her, only these two young men who had just arrived and didn't understand the situation.

Gu Jue threw it accurately and it happened to fall at Shen Yi's feet. He turned to look at Yu Chi with a little pride.

It seemed as if he was saying to Yu Chi.

Look, I threw it very accurately

, didn't I? Yu Chi smiled and touched his head without saying a word.

Shen Yi picked up the silver coin and put it in the hands of Aunt Wang's husband.

"Uncle, is this enough?"

Aunt Wang's husband held the heavy silver and nodded hurriedly.

"Enough, enough, enough."

Not only enough, but a lot.

He can buy chicks again.

Seeing her like this, the village chief shook his head, a little helpless.

"Forget it, let's disperse today and go back."

The village chief has spoken, and others will certainly listen. The crowd went down in groups just like when they came.

Only Shen Yi was still standing in front of A Tian, ​​and Yu Chi and Gu Jue were also standing there.

When the crowd went away, A Tian pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and shook it gently.

Shen Yi looked back at him, and he shook his head towards Shen Yi, looking obedient, without any of the sharp look he had just when surrounded by wolves.

Shen Yi touched his head, and he rubbed it against Shen Yi's palm.

"You want to say it wasn't you, right?"

Shen Yi spoke, and A Tian understood what Shen Yi said, so he nodded.

"He, can't speak?"

Yu Chi supported his chin with his hand, looking at the boy standing in the wolf pack.

But it was obvious that the wolf pack didn't seem very friendly to him and Gu Jue. There were more than

a dozen wolves, except for the two or three beside A Tian, ​​the others all bared their teeth and looked at them ferociously, as if they would pounce on them and bite them to pieces in the next moment.

Gu Jue put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and took a step towards Yu Chi, keeping alert.

Shen Yi looked back at them, then raised his head and said to the young man in front of him.

"A Tian, ​​let them stop. The two young masters are good people."

A Tian lowered his head and growled at the wolves twice. As expected, the wolves lowered their heads and retreated behind him.

Shen Yi then brought A Tian to them.

"A Tian really can't speak. I taught him, but he never learned it."

Then he smiled at them apologetically.

"I'm sorry, young master. Tomorrow is the day my father is coming back. I will return the silver to you then."

Yu Chi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter. Just consider it as our accommodation fee."

Shen Yi quickly refused.

"No, no, no, I must pay it back..."

At this time, A-Tian called out "Awooo" twice.

"Look, A-Tian said he would pay it back."

Yu Chi was speechless for a moment, and Gu Jue asked him what was wrong.

He said.

"I wonder if I am blind or deaf. Did he speak?"

Gu Jue didn't know how to answer, and Shen Yi laughed dryly twice.

"A-Tian can't speak, but I can roughly understand what he means."

"Okay."

Anyway, he can't understand.
