Chapter 57 What did you say? Who's on top of whom? What's on top of whom?
This girl seems to be stirring up trouble; what kind of things is she saying!
He's a county magistrate; finding a wife would be so easy for him. He's just worried this girl will suffer!
In the end, the concubines in his household were nothing more than servants. He wasn't the kind of person who doted on concubines. His daughters were the most precious in the inner courtyard.
"Stop talking nonsense, you little brat! I've spoiled you too much, and now you're saying such things!" Fulin glared at his daughter, annoyed.
He turned to Madam Qian and said, "I'm sorry, it was all the child's nonsense. He has been without a mother since he was a child. Please don't be offended, Madam Tang."
Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief, not taking it to heart at all: "Children's words are just that—childish. How could I possibly blame them!"
Seeing that Qian had no intention of currying favor, Fulin stopped talking!
Fu Manduo pouted and glared angrily at her father.
"This child has such a temper..." Fulin rubbed his temples, looking somewhat worried.
"It will get better when you grow up!" Madam Qian said, looking at the two of them and reaching out to touch Xiao Su Bao's hair.
Fulin sighed, feeling a terrible headache.
"Your rash is so bad, you can't touch boys like that anymore, understand?" He remembered what had happened before and glanced at Tang Dabao not far away.
Tang Dabao's expression changed, but he did not refute it.
But little Su Bao looked at Fu Lin with innocent, big eyes.
The little voice couldn't help but whisper, "Didn't Sister Fu's illness get better before? When she touched my nephew, he didn't have any rashes on his body!"
Fu Manduo also remembered what had happened before. She immediately nodded and looked at her father with some excitement.
“Daddy, Su Bao is right! I didn’t get a rash when my nephew Da Bao pressed me down before!”
"Wait, what did you say? Who's on top of whom? What's on top of whom?" Fulin was completely bewildered.
He turned to look at Tang Dabao, his eyes filled with hostility.
My own fat cabbage!
For some reason, he felt very unhappy looking at Tang Dabao's rather handsome face.
Fu Manduo was still young, and because it was the first time in her life that she had touched a boy and didn't get a rash, she was extremely excited.
"I accidentally stepped on my nephew Da Bao, and then he accidentally stepped on me in return..."
Fu Manduo was still quite happy and didn't notice his father's strange behavior at all.
After she said that, everyone's gaze towards Fu Manduo and Tang Dabao changed.
They turned to look at Xiao Su Bao again, but their eyes were different now.
Is the Tang family's luck about to change after having their little baby?
Could they even become in-laws with the county magistrate?
Xiao Su Bao looked at her with a puzzled expression. She stood next to Qian Shi, feeling a little nervous. Had she said something wrong?
But Sister Fu just pulled her nephew and he didn't get a rash!
"Mom, did I... say something wrong?" Little Su Bao was so nervous she was almost crying.
Madam Qian immediately looked at her daughter with heartache and patted her: "No, little Su Bao, don't worry."
Fu Manduo was unaware of the situation and her face was filled with excitement. She could finally touch a boy without getting a rash, which was definitely a happy thing!
Afraid that her father wouldn't believe her, she reached out to touch Tang Dabao's face to prove herself.
Fulin's face immediately darkened, and he grabbed his daughter's sleeve.
"Alright, alright, I believe you. Now, let's go back and get rid of the rash on your face first!"
Fu Lin felt a headache coming on, and he glanced at Tang Dabao.
This boy looks quite respectable, but I wonder what he'll look like when he grows up.
Moreover, boys who are too good-looking are all too fickle.
All he wants is for his daughter to be with one person for life and to live happily.
Tang Dabao looked unsafe, but Fu Lin didn't care much about his status, as long as he wasn't a merchant or anything like that.
As for her daughter saying that she was no longer allergic, this surprised Fulin somewhat.
"Alright, now that we've dealt with the wolves, let's hurry down the mountain, or we'll attract even more wild animals!" The advisor quickly stepped forward and said.
Little Su Bao suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "There's another wolf inside..."
As if to confirm the little dumpling's words, the stone that was blocking the entrance to the tree hole suddenly moved.
A blind wolf rushed out from inside.
Before anyone could react, the wolf charged headlong toward Tang Dabao and Fu Manduo.
Tang Dabao instinctively reached out and pushed Fu Manduo into Fu Lin's arms, taking the brunt of the wolf's attack himself.
Fu Lin's expression changed slightly. Holding his daughter, he swung the large knife in his hand and immediately chopped off the wolf's head.
Worried that she might frighten the child, Ms. Qian quickly covered Xiao Su Bao's eyes.
Little Su Bao did witness the wolf's head fall to the ground, and her whole body trembled slightly.
"It's alright, Mom's here!" Madam Qian naturally sensed Xiao Su Bao's unusual behavior. She reached out and patted Xiao Su Bao's back, speaking gently.
Little Su Bao felt a slight tingling in her nose, but the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up.
The little girl said in a soft, sweet voice, "With Mommy here, Little Su Bao isn't afraid of anything!"
On the ice that had sealed her heart, a crack appeared, and the crack slowly grew larger and larger.
It was illuminated by a ray of sunlight.
The villagers of Tangjia Village didn't mind and simply packed up the wolf carcasses along with the carcasses of the small animals and took them away.
However, Madam Qian said, "These little herbivores saved us after all, so why don't we bury them here?"
The people of Tangjia Village were stunned for a moment, and they subconsciously looked at Fulin and Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng is their village chief, and Fu Lin is their county magistrate.
These things are not something they can decide; they will have to hand them over to Fulin for distribution when they get back.
“Magistrate, my mother is right. If it weren’t for these little guys helping us, we probably wouldn’t have been able to fight our way out of that pack of wolves!”
Tang Cheng thought for a moment, then glanced at the little baby in his mother's arms.
Especially the rabbit with the scarf in Xiao Su Bao's arms, she remembered clearly that those rabbits were the ones that hopped the most before.
The rabbit, which should be gentle and obedient, bites the wolf without any fear.
Fulin also remembered what had happened before, and he nodded in agreement.
He wasn't short of meat, but after thinking for a moment, Fulin glanced at Xiao Su Bao and said, "Your little girl is too thin. Give her more meat to eat and fatten her up so she'll look better."
This is the second time he has spoken.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback when she heard Fu Lin's words, but then she showed a sweet smile.
"Thank you, Uncle!" The little boy's obedient appearance made Fulin unable to help but smile.
Although she is young, she can still feel the kindness of others towards her.
The sun had just risen, and rays of dawn shone through the gaps in the trees, illuminating the woods.
There were mottled bloodstains on the ground, which showed how fierce the previous battle had been.
Many villagers had injuries.
Several villagers and officials who had been bitten by wolves had furrowed brows and looked grim.
They all know that if they are bitten by wolves or dogs, they are very likely to get rabies.
"Hey, let the doctor take a look at them!" Fu Lin said to the clerk beside him.
"Yes!" the clerk nodded in agreement.
Looking at these people, Fulin felt a pang of sadness.
If they contracted rabies, none of them would survive.
When Qian brought Xiao Su Bao over, she saw many people sitting on the ground with dejected expressions.
When Qian saw their wounds, her face froze.
Previously, in their village, at least eight or ten people were bitten by wolves every year, and many of them died from rabies.
Thinking of this, Qian Shi, who had originally had a slight smile on her face, turned ugly.
"Sister Qian, this is my newlywed wife. I don't want to get rabies and die like a rabid dog!"
When a man saw Qian coming, he covered his arm with tears in his eyes and said pitifully.
Qian felt a heavy weight in her heart; a total of seven men in their village had been bitten by wolves…
Every man represents a family...
"I'm sorry, everyone!" Madam Qian bowed and greeted the crowd.
If the three children hadn't run into the mountains, none of what happened afterward would have occurred.
So ultimately it's their fault that so many people were bitten by wolves...
Little Su Bao blinked as she looked at them. Why did those words seem so familiar?
Rabies...
The little dumpling glanced furtively at her sobbing uncle and whispered in Qian's ear, "Mom, do they have rabies?"
Ms. Qian nodded heavily, then patted Xiao Su Bao's hair. Just as she was about to tell her not to worry, she heard Xiao Su Bao suddenly speak.
"Rabies is curable..."
