"But you have more than ten wolves, haven't you? I've seen them before, they look quite fierce. If you bring those wolves with you, they'll definitely scare away any wild beasts, and you'll be able to get out safely."
"I can pay you. Name your price, and I'll give you anything I can afford." Zhang Qingyu bit her lip, her eyebrows like spring mountains and her eyes like autumn waters—she was simply stunningly beautiful.
Unfortunately, no matter how charming she was, she couldn't move Song Zhuiyan. She glanced at her sideways and said coldly, "What wolf? That's my dog, I cherish him. How can I take him out to fight wild beasts?"
"Stop talking. There's no room for negotiation. You can leave."
"Miss Song, please reconsider." Zhang Qingyu was still unwilling to give up. She thought that if she couldn't get through to them here, she would go back and have Uncle Zhao ask Zhong Qingyi for help. In short, she had to persuade one of them.
"No need to consider it. No one will be taken this time. Brother Zhong and I will go out to scout out some information. If the situation improves, we will find a way to get the villagers back in touch with the outside world. Otherwise, we will not take anyone out. If anyone is not afraid of death and insists on going out, we cannot stop them. They will lose their own lives."
The worst thing is that this person is not thinking clearly and insists on leading a group out of the mountains, or follows them into the mountains.
After seeing the person off, Song Zhuiyan went directly to Zhong Qingyi's house and sternly warned him not to agree to bring anyone with him when he left the mountain. Otherwise, he would leave on his own and she would not go with him. She warned him not to fall for someone's seductive charms.
If he dares to be blinded by beauty, she'll smash his head in. Humph.
"Don't worry, I won't agree to anything from anyone else. I won't budge no matter who comes to me." Zhong Qingyi also made a serious promise. He only listened to Miss Song, and whatever Miss Song said was the same.
Song Tantan sneaked into Ye Moxun's room, and the two quietly discussed their plan.
"I'll go back and talk to my aunt and ask her to take me with her. If you want to go, make sure you can keep up with the pace, or you'll be out of breath after just a few steps." Song Tantan looked at his long arms and legs, and his rosy complexion, so she figured he wouldn't be a burden anymore, but she still wanted to give him a reminder.
It's best to take some energy-boosting medication before setting off to ensure you don't falter at crucial moments.
"Don't think of me as so weak. I told you long ago that I'm much better now. Have you been taking care of yourself for nothing all these years? You've eaten so many good things, and if you still can't get better, then you'll really become a sickly person." Ye Moxun glanced at her indifferently, feeling a little annoyed with her. Only she dared to speak so bluntly in front of him; no one else would dare to.
Don't they even consider who he is, how much medicine he has? If they dare to offend him, are they tired of living, or are they living too comfortably? He'll immediately cripple them with poison.
Well, this girl only dares to be so unscrupulous because he can't bear to hurt her and tolerates her in every way.
If Song Tantan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely scoff at him and be very tolerant of him. He was only pretending to be honest in front of her because he was impressed by the food in her supermarket.
Ye Moxun: Don't say I only covet things in the supermarket. If I really stop at nothing, believe me, I'll poison you until you kneel down and beg for mercy, calling you "Dad" while crying and personally offering you all the good food.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go!" Ye Moxun hissed, tilting his head and crying out in pain. He was so distracted that his ear was grabbed. He had really been careless.
"I can tell from your lewd smile that you're up to no good. You're probably plotting something against me. If you try anything funny, I'll tear your ears off and feed them to Mount Tai." Song Tantan's grip was stronger than most people's, and she wouldn't let go, so Ye Moxun really couldn't do anything about it.
Taishan, outside the door, heard Song Tantan mention it and let out a howl.
"Taishan, come quickly and save me! Someone is trying to murder me!" Ye Moxun shouted.
"If it dares to come any closer, I'll stew dog meat for dinner tonight." Song Tantan let go of his hand in annoyance, put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
The two were so familiar with each other that they could guess what the other was thinking and what kind of schemes they were plotting just from an expression or a glance.
Ye Moxun used to be very sarcastic and never held back in criticizing her. She would only behave when she threatened him with food. Later, he gradually stopped grumbling to himself and started admitting his mistake when she saw through his tactic.
Like now, looking at her puffed-up face, he smiled ingratiatingly, "Don't be angry, it's my fault, I was wrong, okay? Well, let's continue discussing the matter of leaving the mountain."
"You're just trying to annoy me. You can't stand to see me doing well. I don't want to talk to you right now. Get away from me." Song Tantan pushed him away and went home.
"The older she gets, the bigger her temper becomes. Now I can't even complain to myself. I only mutter a couple of things and she knows everything. She gets angry and hits me. Does she really think I have no temper?" He chuckled as he watched the girl skip away.
Fine, she's spoiled with her own temper. The worse her temper, the better, because no one but him will be able to put up with her in the future.
At the Song family, Song Zhuiyan lazily refused, her tone leaving no room for argument, "No, this time it's just Zhong Qingyi and me. We're just going out to gather some information and will be back soon. Taking you along would be too much of a hassle. Besides, if you go, it's the same as A-Xun going too."
The two are inseparable, doing everything together. If Tantan were to leave the mountain, it would be a miracle if Ye Mo couldn't find her.
"...How long are you going to be gone? What will I do if I miss you?" Song Tantan started to act cute and charming.
But this trick didn't work either. Song Zhuiyan knew her true nature perfectly well. "If you miss me, I'll go into my space to see you. I'll bring you whatever you want into my space, and you can get it anytime. Be good, we'll talk about it next time. If this goes well, I can take you out next time."
"You and Zhang Qingyu said the same thing. It's obvious you're just making excuses. You've been in the mountains for four years, spending every day either in the village or in the mountains. It's so boring." Song Tantan complained, frowning, clearly unhappy that her aunt didn't want to take her with her.
"There's nothing we can do about it. When we first came here, the outside world was so chaotic. Everyone was eager to find a paradise like this to be isolated from the world. It's only been a few years, and after a few years of peaceful life, they've already forgotten the pain and are clamoring to go out and see the outside world. None of them have any sense of responsibility."
Zhang Qingyu is like this, and so is Tantan. I guess many people in the village think the same way. That's why people are just inherently greedy and never satisfied.
No wonder people want to achieve material wealth when they are poor, and then they want to achieve spiritual wealth when they are materially wealthy. Take later generations for example, many people are prone to depression. If you have enough to eat and are constantly fleeing famine, where would you find the time to be depressed?
Zhang Qingyu was in a similar situation. In the past few years, she had accepted her fate and lived her life honestly without thinking about going out. Survival was the priority. Last year, she was able to eat her fill and had some surplus food at home, so she wanted to go out and get married, and she wanted to marry into a family with a good reputation.
Although she also wanted to go out and see the world, she was not optimistic about the current situation, so she only went to take a look. Unlike Zhang Qingyu, she could stay in Songlin Village for the rest of her life, so she had to plan for the future of the village.
Going out to gather information and understand the current situation will help her better handle the problems that Songlin Village may face in the future. She hopes that the soldiers will never enter Songlin Village, as she really has no good feelings towards the soldiers of ancient times.
The villagers had worked so hard to grow their crops, but when government officials intervened, they would have to pay taxes. In such chaotic times, exorbitant taxes were rampant, and she refused to pay them.
