Chapter 233 is not one to be content with his lot either.
"What's wrong?" Xie Hanchuan didn't know medicine, so he naturally couldn't see anything different about Zhang Yanniang.
"This Zhang Yanniang..." Lin Luoxi whispered in Xie Hanchuan's ear.
"Don't worry about it. Why would a widow stay at her parents' home instead of her husband's? It's because Zhang Yanniang isn't exactly a law-abiding woman..." Xie Hanchuan knew a little about why Zhang Yuan, this forty-year-old widow, hadn't remarried.
"What? This is truly a match made in heaven, like fish finding fish, shrimp finding shrimp, rotten fish finding rotten shrimp..." Lin Luoxi was speechless after learning the inside story from Xie Hanchuan.
Regardless of what Zhang Yanniang was planning, they quickly pulled Xie Hanchun away from the Zhang family, as if the Zhang family were an unlucky place.
What countermeasures could Zhang Yanniang possibly have? Lin Luoxi could guess a thing or two.
Having witnessed some truly shocking things in the city, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan lost all desire to continue exploring and headed straight for the oil paper shop.
After buying a lot of rainproof cloth, the two returned to Wutong Village.
"Second sister, you're back." Lin Wenqian, who was directing Lin Yi and the others, saw Lin Luoxi return and quickly came over to ask if there was anything she wanted to improve regarding their current transformation.
"Yes, you did a great job. It seems you've made a lot of progress these past few days."
Looking inside the cave, where single-room structures were gradually taking shape, Lin Luoxi praised it without reservation.
"This is a modification based on my thoughts after looking at the blueprints brought by Master Zhao and the others." Seeing that Lin Wenqian had received praise from Lin Luoxi, Lin Wentao hurriedly ran to Lin Luoxi's side to take credit.
"Yes, both eldest brother and third brother are great. I'll give you an extra treat tonight!" Lin Luoxi knew exactly what Lin Wentao was thinking, so she gave him a sweet treat nonetheless.
"Thump thump..." Just as Lin Luoxi, Lin Wentao, and Lin Wenqian were chatting, the ground shook again, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps hitting the ground.
"What's that sound?" Lin Wentao, Lin Wenqian, and Xie Hanchuan, who had never seen a bear before, immediately became alert and looked around nervously as they felt the earth shaking.
"Relax, everyone. Our family is back." Lin Luo listened carefully to the familiar sounds and smiled to reassure the three nervous people.
"Huh?" Lin Wenqian thought Lin Luoxi was talking nonsense.
This commotion clearly indicates the presence of a large, ferocious beast, which is why it made such a big move.
"Second sister, you must be mistaken. This sound is like a horde of ferocious beasts. You can't possibly say that all the wild beasts in these mountains are our family, can you?" Lin Wentao felt that Lin Ruoxi's words were a bit exaggerated.
"More or less, you'll see in a bit." Lin Luoxi smiled when she saw that the two brothers didn't believe her, and didn't explain further.
Standing to the side, Xie Hanchuan noticed that Lin Luoxi's expression didn't seem to be lying, and that none of the hundred or so people in the cave showed any signs of panic. Instead, he became a little curious.
What kind of wild beast was outside, making such a commotion, and Lin Luoxi still claimed it was family?
They walked to the cave entrance first and looked out.
When Xie Hanchuan saw several enormous black figures rushing towards him at top speed, his expression changed drastically.
"Bears, bears, so many bears..." Xie Hanchuan saw seven or eight bears looking in their direction and was so frightened that he took two steps back and shrank back into the cave.
"What bear? Second sister, didn't you say it was family? How could it be a bear?"
Seeing the panicked expression on Xie Hanchuan's face, Lin Wenqian quickly took a few steps forward and peeked out. He indeed saw a bear running wildly towards them.
They quickly retreated back into the cave, pulling Xie Hanchuan along, praying that the bears wouldn't see them.
"Big brother, Brother Hanchuan, what bear? Are you talking about a real bear?" Lin Wentao thought Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian were joking.
He quickened his pace, wanting to look outside the cave to see what was going on, but Lin Wenqian grabbed him and dragged him backward.
"Third brother, it's already this late, and you're still joining in the fun." Lin Wenqian thought Lin Wentao was simply being ridiculous. He had already said there was a bear, but he insisted on seeing it with his own eyes before he would believe it.
"Don't panic, don't panic, those seven bears are the family I was talking about."
"Those seven bears were the ones I subdued when I attacked Bear Ridge. If you don't believe me, just ask Lin Yi and the others."
"Roar!" Just as Lin Luoxi finished speaking, a huge head popped out from outside the cave and roared at her in a low voice.
"Ah, Second Sister, there really is a bear!" Lin Wentao heard the bear's roar and quickly looked towards the cave entrance. He saw a huge, furry head and immediately screamed.
As Lin Wentao shouted, one, two, three... bear heads appeared one after another outside the cave.
Seemingly afraid of disturbing the people inside the cave, they cautiously peered into the cave.
Upon hearing Lin Wentao's scream, the bears all turned to look at him.
Then the bears looked at each other in perfect unison and let out a few low growls, seemingly mocking Lin Wentao's cowardice.
"Haha, Third Young Master, these bears are our own, they won't hurt you." Lin Yi and the others quickly stepped forward to reassure Lin Wentao when they saw his frightened expression.
"These are all bears! You say they won't hurt us, but do you really think they won't?" Lin Wentao was terrified as he looked at the increasing number of bear heads at the cave entrance, completely deaf to Lin Yi's words.
"Alright, third brother, I promise you, these bears are all obedient and won't hurt us." Seeing that Lin Wentao was genuinely frightened, Lin Luoxi quickly stepped forward and held him down as he flailing his arms and legs in fear.
Seeing that the bears were staring at him with their eyes, Lin Wentao shook his head in resistance.
This is truly a ferocious beast of the mountains; how could it possibly listen to a human? He certainly didn't want to be torn to pieces on the spot.
"If you don't believe me, I'll let them in so you can touch them." Seeing that Lin Wentao was genuinely frightened, Lin Luoxi used her actions to show him that these bears were indeed on their side.
She walked up to the bears and made the largest, most robust, and fattest bear squat down, then began to stroke its fur.
"Luo Xi, no!" Xie Hanchuan was terrified when he saw Lin Ruoxi's dangerous actions and called out to Lin Luo Xi with great concern.
"Second sister, come here right now!" Lin Wenqian called out anxiously when he saw Lin Luoxi walk over, but he didn't dare to go forward and pull Lin Luoxi back.
As soon as he took two steps closer, the bear that Lin Luoxi was leaning against immediately glared at him.
