Chapter 187: No Reward



After returning home, Tian had already boiled a large pot of water. Before Song Yuehua came back, she kept heating it up and cooling it down, and then boiling it again. She was just in time.

Xiaoyu wanted to come in and rub her back, but was rejected.

The scar from the last arrow shot is still on my shoulder. I have managed to hide it until now, so it must not be seen.

After washing, changing into clean clothes and drinking a bowl of meat porridge, Song Yuehua went to catch up on her sleep.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu secretly took her clothes, washed them and checked them, for they were afraid that their elder sister might have been injured and was hiding it from them.

Xiaoyu looked at her inner clothes and said, "There are more blood stains on the outer clothes than on the inner clothes. They must have splashed in from outside. Sister Song may not have been seriously injured."

"Then why doesn't sister let me in?" Xiaoyu still felt there was something wrong.

Xiaoyu said, "Didn't Sister Song say that she didn't want you to go in and cause trouble?"

"I'm not Dabao, how could I cause any trouble..." Xiaoyu muttered.

"Okay, isn't it best that Sister Song is fine?" Xiaoyu stood up and pulled Xiaoyu up as well.

Xiaoyu held Song Yuehua's clothes and said, "Let me help my sister wash these clothes."

"Xiaoyu!" Xiaoyu snatched the clothes and said, "Didn't Madam Nie tell you to take good care of your hands and not do something that would not be worth the loss just because of your momentary emotions?"

Xiaoyu nodded helplessly.

Song Yuehua was half asleep and felt the tip of her nose itchy. She opened her eyes and saw Dabao and Xiaobao painting her nose with a brush. She touched it and found fortunately there was no ink.

Song Yuehua sat up, picked up the two Baos and rubbed her nose against them, making the twins laugh.

Xiaoyu ran in and said happily, "Sister, you are awake. Are you hungry? There is meat porridge on the stove."

Song Yuehua wanted to eat white rice instead of porridge. "Let's make some dishes for dinner and ask Aunt Tian to cook it early."

"Okay, I'll tell Aunt Tian." Xiaoyu said and ran away.

After the people left, Song Yuehua felt something was wrong. Shouldn't Xiaoyu be in class at this moment?

Xie Wenwu prepared dinner in the evening. There was a large table of dishes and the whole family enjoyed the meal very much.

Just after dinner, Zhou Lizheng brought Zhou Ergui and his wife, and the Zhang family over with four old hens.

"How is Uncle Erlang's leg?" Song Yuehua took the tea brought by Tian and gave it to Zhou Lizheng and Old Man Zhang.

Zhang continued, "The snake that bit him was not poisonous. But his leg may not be healed so easily."

Those cuts on my butt were in vain!

It's good enough that Zhang Jilang is still alive.

"Girl, are you hurt?" Zhou Lizheng asked in a gentle voice.

Song Yuehua smiled and replied, "I'm not injured, I just got my clothes dirty."

"really?"

"really"

Zhou Lizheng felt uneasy and continued, "Don't hide this kind of thing."

"How dare I hide it from you?" Song Yuehua said with a smile.

Zhang's father was also very grateful and said, "Whether you are injured or not, I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Song Yuehua smiled and replied, "It's not a big problem. I hunt all year round and I encounter this kind of situation a lot. It's not as serious as you think."

Zhang quickly took out a large bag of medicine and said, "We were in a hurry to get to the county town, and we didn't know where you were injured. I heard from Erlang that you fell, so I bought some medicine for injuries and several kinds of medicine."

After that, he took out another larger bag and said, "Here are some medicine packets for calming the mind and nourishing the body. You can take one or two packets whenever you want. It's good for your body. And here are brown sugar, white fungus, and lotus seeds. I saw that you like to eat these, so I bought some of them..."

Song Yuehua hurriedly pushed the things back and said, "Aunt Zhang, why did you buy so many things? I'm really fine and don't need to replenish my body."

"Girl, please accept it. This is a gift from your aunt's family." Zhou Lizheng said.

Before Zhang accepted the gift, Zhou Ergui took out a large bag of silver and said a little embarrassedly, "Here is forty taels of silver. We can only compensate you this much for now. You can pay it back slowly when you have more money in the future."

"ah?"

Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment and asked, "What silver do you want?"

Father Zhang said, "I heard from Erlang that you threw a tiger worth more than three hundred taels to save him. We can't pretend we don't know about this silver and let you suffer this loss in silence."

Hearing this, Song Yuehua laughed and said, "Uncle Erlang misunderstood. We killed a white tiger...

When the Zhou family heard Zhang Erlang describe the scene of Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao dealing with a pack of hyenas, they were already shocked.

Now when they heard Song Yuehua say so easily that she had killed a tiger, everyone felt horrified.

"We didn't lose the white tiger. It was swallowed by a giant snake in the mountains. Whether Uncle Erlang is here or not, the white tiger will never belong to me."

After listening to Song Yuehua's explanation, Zhou Ergui glanced at Zhou Lizheng.

Zhou Lizheng shook his head slightly and said, "If you weren't looking for Zhang Erlang, you wouldn't have to risk your life and put yourself in danger. We can't just not show any appreciation."

"Grandpa Zhou, I have something to say to you. If you insist on settling the score with me so clearly, I will be very sad."

Song Yuehua said seriously, "The human heart is fiercer than a tiger. When my four sisters were alone and helpless, you saved us from the tiger's mouth. Now I have the ability to repay you, so please don't settle accounts with us so clearly."

This time when they went into the mountains, they encountered a tiger in front and a group of hyenas behind. If they really let it go like this, the Zhou family would probably not be able to sleep at night.

Zhou Lizheng felt uneasy and could only persuade her, "Girl, please accept some."

Song Yuehua said, "Grandpa Zhou, hunting is my job. It's normal to encounter anything. If you really feel bad about it, these big hens are enough to compensate me."
