Li Mantian happily settled Ye Shuang and the wolf cub into the blankets, placing various things around them to block the wind, and using the best piece of cloth as a pillow for her: "Shuang'er, sleep well, it will be a long time before we get back."
Ye Shuang hugged the wolf cub and lay down in bed amidst Li Wenyi's envious gaze. The little wolf cub was about to wake up, and if she wasn't in his arms, he probably would have run away without her noticing him for a second.
The blankets were already warm, and the little wolf cub was a portable heat source, so Ye Shuang, who was still sleepy, fell asleep again in the blink of an eye.
Li Wenyi had been keeping an eye on Ye Shuang, afraid that the baby in her arms would wake up and scratch or bite her, so he wanted to reach out and take him out.
Li Mantian clicked his tongue in displeasure: "Don't touch your sister. She finally fell asleep."
Li Wenyi pointed to the little wolf cub in her arms: "Dad, it's not safe if it wakes up."
"It would be good enough if we could even raise her." Li Mantian said with a hint of regret. If he couldn't raise her and it made his daughter cry again, it would really not be worth it.
He went back to sleep and had a good night's rest, but when he woke up again, it wasn't Li Wenyi's gentle call, but a sharp, noisy commotion.
"Li, if your husband hadn't refused to go into the mountains with my husband, he wouldn't have died! Pay for my husband's life!"
"Sister Wang, you can't just say things like that! My husband and I agreed last night that we would go into the mountains the day after tomorrow, and he agreed without hesitation. I don't know why he suddenly decided to go into the mountains on his own. If something goes wrong, it's really not fair to blame it on my husband."
"Your husband clearly agreed to go into the mountains with my husband, but went back on his word for some worthless good-for-nothing. Now that my family member is dead, you can say whatever you want!"
"Sister Wang! That's my daughter! Should I ask the village chief to come and reiterate this to you?"
Hearing the commotion, Li Mantian casually shoved the cow's rope into Li Wenyi's hand and walked ahead, not forgetting to add before he left, "Keep an eye on your sister."
Ye Shuang also sat up from under the covers, and the little wolf cub, who had already woken up, nestled in her arms, not daring to move.
Li Wenyi took a liking to the wolf cub's blue eyes. To divert Ye Shuang's attention, he pointed at it and said, "It looks like it can survive. Shouldn't we give it a name?"
"Brother knows many characters, brother, please take it." Ye Shuang lowered her eyes, dealing with Li Wenyi while listening to the commotion over there. It was that woman from this morning again. How dare she cause trouble here?
Li Mantian forcefully stepped between the two, shielding Li Shi behind him: "Sister-in-law Wang, we are also very saddened by what happened to Brother Wang, but that is not a reason for you to make things difficult for my wife. I had already agreed with Brother Wang to go into the mountains tomorrow, so why did he come up the mountain today? What made him change his mind?"
"Yes, Sister-in-law Wang, Brother Wang is always honest and wouldn't dare to do something so rash. Brother Li had already made an appointment with him, so why did he change his mind?"
"That's right, Sister-in-law Wang, just tell us what's going on. If it really is Brother Li's fault, we won't let him off the hook either!"
The surrounding villagers spoke up for Li Mantian.
When this was mentioned, Wang's wife stammered and couldn't say anything. Instead, she accused him, "Don't talk about anything else here. It's all that jinx's fault. He only came into the village yesterday and killed my husband today. Will he kill everyone in the village tomorrow? Where is that good-for-nothing? Why don't you kick him out of the village?"
