Xie Muqing, who was following behind, also saw the wolf cub and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Lin Yan.
"Hey lady, are these puppies? Why are they all wrapped up like that?"
As soon as Lin Muyan and Lin Yu entered the house, they crawled out from behind Ye Lan and ran to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to look at the wolf cubs curiously, occasionally gently touching the top of the cubs' heads with their little fingers.
"They're not puppies, they're wolves. The reason the wolf pack came into the village tonight is all Lin Xiaobao's fault. He not only stole these wolf cubs, but he also heartlessly broke all the bones in their limbs!"
Lin Yan now truly regrets running to save him; she should have let Lin Xiaobao be bitten to death by the wolves!
"That's so vicious!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lin Zhenghong couldn't help but frown.
I thought Lin Xiaobao was just a bit arrogant because he was overly spoiled, but I never expected him to be so cruel!
Xie Muqing couldn't help but think of himself, and his disgust for Lin Xiaobao grew even stronger, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Yan and her two siblings.
They clearly share the same grandfather.
Some people are ruthless, while others are incredibly kind-hearted...
"Big sister, they're so cute! Will they be staying with us from now on?"
"Well, they'll stay at our home for a month until their bones heal, then I'll send them back to the mountains. After all, they're wolves, not dogs."
After the two wolf cubs had finished nursing, they fell asleep, seemingly lost in sweet dreams, their little mouths still smacking incessantly.
When it was time to go to sleep, Lin Muyan slept next to the wolf cubs, afraid that they would fall off.
"By the way, Xie Muqing, did you see two gyrfalcons back then?"
Xie Muqing suddenly stopped undressing, but then continued as if nothing had happened.
"I did not see it."
"That's true, it's normal that you couldn't see them from inside the house. It's so strange! They followed me the whole time I went to the old house. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but when the wolves bared their teeth at me, I saw them swoop down, as if they were helping me drive them away. But when the wolves retracted their fangs, they turned around and circled high in the sky again, until they escorted me home, and then they left..."
Thinking back to the bizarre scene, Lin Yan scratched her head, puzzled.
She always felt that the animals in the back mountain might be secretly cultivating some kind of spiritual power.
They're all so shrewd, almost like humans...
However, it's not impossible. After all, isn't it said that animals will be prohibited from becoming spirits in a certain year?
The next morning.
After washing up, Lin Yan couldn't wait to go to the kitchen.
After a night, the hot pot broth has successfully solidified.
She took a tiny scoop, tasted it, and found it to be quite delicious!
Mission accomplished!
After she scooped up all the hot pot broth and put it in the cellar, she took the wolf cub to drink goat milk.
After they have drunk their fill.
Lin Yan squeezed out the remaining milk and cooked it for her family to drink. This ewe was very fat and could produce about five catties of milk a day.
The two wolf cubs drink about a pound of milk a day, and the rest is barely enough for Xie Muqing and the children of both families.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu, come and drink goat milk. Remember to drink it every day from now on."
"Hmm, big sister, this milk tastes a bit fishy..."
The two little ones had never drunk goat milk before.
Drink it all at once.
It was so fishy that they couldn't bring themselves to drink it, but neither of them ever wasted a drop, so they finished it with a frown.
"You have to drink it even if it's fishy, you'll grow taller if you drink it, you know? I hope we can drink milk sometime in the future. Xiaoyan, can you take this bowl of milk to the neighbor and tell them that drinking this is nutritious and can help you grow taller and stay healthy? I'll take this bowl to your brother-in-law."
"Okay, big sister."
At that time.
Xie Muqing was already reading in the courtyard. Lin Yan couldn't understand him either; how could a playboy get up earlier than the chickens every day?
Could it be that after being exiled, he really wants to repent and turn over a new leaf?
When Xie Muqing saw the bowl of steaming goat milk, a crack finally appeared on his expressionless face.
He unconsciously swallowed, then spoke with great difficulty:
"Do I really have to drink this goat milk?"
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Lin Yan inexplicably wanted to laugh.
She suppressed the urge to smile, desperately holding back her laughter, and explained in a serious tone:
"Yes, goat milk is considered warming. Drinking it in autumn and winter can not only keep you warm, but also help your legs recover better."
The unique pungent smell of goat milk wafted into Xie Muqing's nose. He took a deep breath and held it.
He gulped it down in one go.
"Here, have some candied fruit to calm your nerves."
Suddenly, a slender, pale hand reached out in front of me.
Perhaps it was because of the goat milk, but Xie Muqing suddenly felt thirsty.
After eating the candied fruit.
He glanced away in a panic, frowned, and gently touched his heart. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
My heart was beating very fast.
This was an experience he had never had before...
Could it be that he has fallen for her?
No, impossible!
How could he possibly fall in love with someone who once forced him?
Are you alright?
The person in front of me suddenly started shaking their head inexplicably.
Lin Yan looked at Xie Muqing with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing her voice, Xie Muqing suddenly stopped shaking his head.
He was momentarily at a loss for words, but after a moment's reaction, he replied coldly:
"It's nothing, I just suddenly got tinnitus."
"It's good that you're alright. I'm going to town now and will be back later. Remember to call me if you need anything."
These past few days, Xie Muqing has rarely called her "wife," and Lin Yan is finding it rather strange.
She awkwardly touched the tip of her nose and went to get the horse.
Riding a horse alone is faster than riding a carriage.
She soon arrived at the house-finding shop in town and told the broker her requirements for the house.
The broker flipped through the map of the houses in his hand, pulled out a few pictures, and handed them over.
“The young lady has high standards. There are a few suitable shops in town. One is on East Street, in a good location, but the rent is quite expensive, two taels a month. Another is on West Street, in a decent location, one tael a month, but the breakfast stall next door opens early and it will be a bit noisy. There is also a shop at the end of West Street, which meets the young lady’s requirements except for its slightly out-of-the-way location, and the price is cheap, 800 wen a month.”
Looking at the map of the house, Lin Yan realized that the shops on East Street were indeed in a very good location, a prime spot.
However, the price of two ounces per month is indeed a bit high.
"Would it be convenient for you to take me to see those two shops at the end of East Street?"
"Convenient, convenient, young lady, come with me."
The broker first took her to the shop on East Street.
The shop is quite large, with two rooms in the backyard. The neighboring shops are also selling jewelry and similar items, and they all close at night.
"Could you lower the rent for this house?"
"Miss, this price wasn't set by us, it was set by the landlord. We'll only rent at this price..."
"Alright, then please take me to that place on West Street."
As soon as Lin Yan stepped out of the shop, she saw a familiar figure in the distance, but because she had to go look at houses, she did not follow.
Little did they know.
Because of her careless decision, a terrible mistake was almost made...
