After taking the two children home, Miao Tianxiang hugged Niu Niu and kissed her as soon as they arrived, saying, "Baby, you have the same style as your grandma back in the day."
When she was only five years old, she was very brave. One summer day, she heard that someone had drowned in the nearby river and that the body had floated down from upstream to the riverbank near her home. In the middle of the day, while her mother was taking a nap, she ran off alone to see the body.
The riverbank where the body was floating was five or six hours away from her home. The reason she wanted to see it was because the adults who had seen it said that the body was bloated like a white steamed bun. She found it unbelievable. How could something as ugly as a body look like a white steamed bun?
That's why she wanted to see it for herself. Miao Tianxiang still remembers it. She ran over in the middle of the day when the sun was scorching. There were a few people collecting corpses on the riverbank. The corpses were covered with white cloths. She wasn't afraid at all. She ran over and lifted the white cloths to look.
He was a man in his forties. He was indeed soaked like a steamed bun, swollen and distended, but he emitted a disgusting stench that made Miao Tianxiang unable to eat for three days. The men who collected the body chased her away and told her to wash her hands with water boiled with pomelo leaves to ward off bad luck when she got home.
After Miao Tianxiang returned home, she asked her mother to find pomelo leaves to boil water. Only then did her mother realize that she had secretly gone to see the corpse. Instead of washing with pomelo water, she was beaten. Not long after, her parents sold her to the Li family. Later, she was sold to a brothel by the Li family's wife. Her life was full of hardships until she finally lived a stable life in her old age.
Miao Tianxiang often thought that the hardships she had endured in her life were perhaps because she hadn't washed her hands with water boiled with pomelo leaves, which was why bad luck had accompanied her for most of her life.
Niu Niu touched her face in disgust. She hated being kissed on the cheek, but her grandmother was an elder, so she couldn't be disgusted and had to endure it.
"Madam, you can't keep spoiling Niu Niu like this. This child must be disciplined today." Miao Tianxiong was very dissatisfied. If this brat isn't dealt with soon, she'll get out of control and no one will be able to subdue her.
Miao Tianxiang glared at her and scolded, "Niu Niu is smart and bold, can't I even praise her? I raised you when you were little, and you're doing just as well now."
Miao Tianxiong gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to retort, "You didn't spoil me when I was a child. You would punish me with family discipline at the drop of a hat. The worst time was when you even threw me into the primeval forest alone and only sent someone to pick me up a month later."
She was only fourteen years old at the time. Miao Tianxiong couldn't remember what mistake he had made, but he had angered Miao Tianxiang, who threw her into the primeval forest without any preparation and told her to fend for herself.
After that, she was indeed left to fend for herself. She was only able to be picked up a month later. By then, she had become a savage, eating raw meat and drinking blood. However, during that month, her combat power directly advanced from Bronze to King, a qualitative leap.
She was forced to improve by constantly fighting wolves for food, either defeating them or becoming their meal.
Miao Tianxiang felt a little embarrassed. She remembered this incident. Actually, it wasn't that Miao Tianxiong had committed a crime. It was because she had once read in a book that fighting wild animals could maximize a person's potential. So, she had a sudden idea and threw Miao Tianxiong into the forest.
If it dies, it's like it was raised for nothing; of course, it's better if it survives.
Miao Tianxiang felt somewhat ashamed. She hadn't been very humane in the past, but it was undeniable—
"I did that to train you. If it weren't for that special training, you definitely wouldn't be this good now," Miao Tianxiang said shamelessly.
