As soon as Xu Jinhuan stepped outside, he saw Xie Datou and the wolf boy fighting fiercely in the courtyard.
Fortunately, although the wolf boy's inner garment was crookedly worn, at least he was still wearing it, and Xu Jinhuan didn't want to get a sty.
"Big Head, step back, I'll handle him."
Xu Jinhuan saw that Xie Datou already had the same claw marks as Ma Wencai on his body, so he quickly told him to step back.
The two men have different focuses in their kung fu; one excels in strength, and the other in speed.
It's like a duel between a warrior and an assassin. Before the warrior's hammer even reaches the assassin, the assassin has already finished his attack. In the end, the warrior is at a disadvantage.
Xu Jinhuan took out a long sword from his spatial storage and used his lightness skill to rush towards the wolf boy.
She finally understood: since they couldn't communicate properly, they might as well have a good fight first!
This was Xu Jinhuan's first time fighting after using the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and she found that both her sword speed and her ability to predict moves were much, much better than before.
The wolf boy seemed to know how powerful Xu Jinhuan was, and tried to use his speed to dodge her sword.
Unfortunately, the faster he dodged, the faster Xu Jinhuan's sword would strike next, eventually leaving him with no way to avoid it.
Xu Jinhuan's sharp sword was pressed directly against his neck.
"Woo... Awooo..." The wolf child made a sound of dissatisfaction in his throat.
Xu Jinhuan used her free hand to give him a sharp rap on the head.
The punch left the wolf boy dazed and seeing stars, but it also made him more obedient.
"Awoo~"
The wolf boy howled as he lowered his head, curled up, and licked his lips at Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan, who was familiar with the habits of wolves, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. It seemed that the wolf child was certain of her position as the alpha wolf.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan put down his long sword and gently patted the wolf boy's shoulder.
"Awoo~~~" The wolf boy seemed to sense Xu Jinhuan's kindness and happily wiggled his butt.
Xu Jinhuan was helpless. It was cute for the little boy to wiggle his butt, but she only felt scared when a grown man wiggled his butt in front of her.
"We've taken this little brother in, but he doesn't understand what we're saying," Xu Jinhuan muttered as he pulled the wolf boy up.
Xiao Wang, who was still rummaging through the system space, immediately responded enthusiastically upon hearing his host's words.
[Host, I have a way!]
After saying that, Xiao Wang started searching again, and soon he happily said...
[Host, feed him this Chinese language pill. After he takes it, he'll be able to understand human speech.]
Xu Jinhuan blinked in surprise, silently replying in his heart, "Perhaps I shouldn't have called you Xiao Wang back then, I should have called you Doraemon."
"System Xiao Wang asked, bewildered."
[Host, what kind of dream is Doraemon having? Is it a good dream?]
Xu Jinhuan sighed helplessly. She suddenly felt a generation gap between herself and her own system, and gave a brief explanation.
"It's a very good anime character. If you're curious, you can look up various films and TV shows from our world and watch them to learn more."
System Xiao Wang accepted his host's recommendation and said happily.
Okay, I'll go check it out now and find out which work the phrase "good fortune comes naturally" comes from.
After answering Xiao Wang's question, Xu Jinhuan retrieved the pill from the system page.
After taking the pill in her hand, she quickly threw it to the wolf boy as he opened his mouth to howl, and before he could react, he swallowed it.
Xu Jinhuan waited a while, and only spoke to the wolf boy after confirming that the pill should be effective.
"Now that you acknowledge me as your boss, this place will be your home from now on. I can't keep calling you 'Wolf Boy' forever. Since you like howling so much, how about I call you Ao Wu?"
"Awoo~" Ao Wu tilted his head and blinked strangely, seemingly not understanding how he could suddenly understand human speech.
Xu Jinhuan grabbed Ao Wu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Let's go inside and change your clothes."
"Awoo?" Ao Wu realized what Xu Jinhuan meant and disgustedly tugged at his already soaked clothes, indicating that he didn't want to wear clothes.
Xu Jinhuan didn't give him the right to refuse. She grabbed him and shouted to Xie Datou, who was not far away, "Datou, help him change his clothes again and teach him how to dress."
Xie Datou accepted the order, picked up Ao Wu who was still struggling, and went into the house.
Ao Wu was unwilling and wanted to continue scratching people with his claws, but after seeing Xu Jinhuan's eyes not far away, he silently withdrew his claws and only let out two howls to express his dissatisfaction.
When the door opened again, he was not only dressed, but his hairstyle had also changed. His messy, matted hair had been mercilessly chopped off by Xie Datou, leaving only about an inch of hair on his head.
Ao Wu scratched his head in dissatisfaction and grinned at Xie Datou.
Xie Datou, with two large, red paw prints on his face, grinned sheepishly at him, "I know you're thanking me, no need to be polite!"
Enraged, Ao Wu rolled his eyes and turned his back to Xie Datou.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but smile. She called out, "Come inside quickly, let's discuss our next move."
Soon, a group of people gathered in Xie Datou's house, and Xu Jinhuan introduced Ao Wu to everyone with a smile.
"I found this guy on the cliff. His name is Ao Wu. He can't speak yet, but he can understand what you're saying. Come on, Ao Wu, say hello to everyone."
Ao Wu thought for a moment, then waved its paw and let out a "woof" to show its friendliness.
When Ma Wencai saw those sharp claws, he instinctively covered his buttocks and said helplessly, "Brother, you'd better not show your claws if you don't have anything to do with them, my butt hurts."
Ao Wu looked at his paws, then at Ma Wencai, let out a "woof," and obediently put his paws down.
Ao Wu's obedience made Ma Wencai feel embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile.
"I was just joking. It's okay. You can swing your claws however you want. The only request is that you don't swing them at your own people."
Ao Wu nodded obediently, showing none of his previous fierce demeanor.
Xu Jinhuan was also happy to see her younger brothers getting along so well. She coughed lightly and said, "The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to discuss what's to come."
Taking the rivers near Beijing as an example, with so much rainwater flowing down, floods are very likely to occur.
Although we are up in the mountains and don't need to worry about the impact of the flood, it's hard to guarantee that nearby residents won't rush into the forests before or after the disaster.
The others, who had initially been smiling, became much more somber after hearing Xu Jinhuan's analysis.
"The boss is right. Our current location is arguably one of the best in these mountains. Although we outnumber the others, we still have to be on guard."
Ma Wencai immediately responded to Xu Jinhuan's words.
