Zhong Qingyi couldn't explain what was wrong with the wolves either. He thought that Miss Song must have given them some kind of drug, which made them dizzy and disoriented, thus making them easier to catch.
He had always suspected that the Song family was a mysterious family skilled in medicine. Along the way, there were many things about Miss Song that he had never seen before, but she always tried her best to hide them and did not want others to find out, so he never asked about them.
Everything has an explanation, but the appearance of that python was really strange. Where did a snake come from in the freezing cold?
When Zhong Qingyi returned home with his share of half a wolf's meat, he found that Ye Moxun was not home again. He sighed, knowing that Moxun must have gone to play with Song Tantan again.
After stewing a pound of wolf meat, Zhong Qingyi braved the snow to go to the Song family. His house was only about ten meters away from the Song family, which was quite close. However, the snow had been thick these days, and every step he took sank into the snow, making it very difficult to walk. Fortunately, A-Xun had insisted on coming every day.
At this moment, Zhong Qingyi thought of skateboards again. After finishing his meal, he would immediately make two skateboards, one for Ah Xun and one for himself.
"Brother Zhong is here! We're just about to eat, let's eat together." Without saying a word, Song Zhuiyan ladled a large bowl of snake soup and placed it on the table.
As soon as Zhong Qingyi entered, he was forced to sit down before he could even speak. He wanted to tell A-Xun to go home to eat, but the other three were holding their bowls and seriously drinking soup and eating meat, and no one seemed to care to listen to him.
They could only eat together, and only after they were full did he remember that there was still meat stewing at home.
“Save it for dinner. We haven’t been back for so long, and no one has been watching the fire. The fire under the stove has gone out long ago, so the meat is definitely not cooked through,” Ye Moxun called out to him. Then he added, “There’s nothing to do when we get back. Why don’t we sit here for a while and find some games to play?”
"I want to go back and make a skateboard. It'll be easier when I go out. It looks like the snow will continue for a long time. I can't stay cooped up at home forever. There will always be a time to go out." Zhong Qingyi was thinking about going home to make a skateboard.
"No rush. Didn't we get a lot of meat from the trap today? We don't need to go out for the next few days. We can make the skateboard tomorrow." It's just a matter of sawing two boards. It's a very simple thing.
So the four of them sat down at a table and started playing leaf cards. Actually, Song Tantan really wanted to take out the playing cards to play, but Zhong Qingyi was there, so they had to use leaves instead.
In the evening, after thinking it over, Song Tantan went to the Zhang family's house on her skateboard. She was there to deliver cotton-padded coats and quilts. The Zhang family had also received some warm clothes that day, but since the Zhang family's younger brother was still small, Song Tantan felt sorry for the little guy, so she specially brought an extra quilt and two floral coats.
"I don't need these two jackets, so give them to Shen'er. Does he still cry at night?" The Zhang family has good genes; the Zhang sisters are beauties, and Shen'er is also a pretty child with big eyes and a big smile.
Of course, this is just Song Tantan's opinion. Shen'er doesn't smile at everyone he sees. He only smiles especially happily when he sees Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan because they get milk powder to drink.
"For the first few days, she cried and fussed until late at night, but she got better after a few days and doesn't do it anymore," Zhang Qingyu said with a gentle smile.
"That's good. It's getting late, I'll head back now." Song Tantan didn't go inside; she handed over her things, said a few words to the person, and then skateboarded home.
"Sister, the Song family girl was the first to discover the food and clothing in the cave. She must have taken a lot of good things back with her. Otherwise, why would she have extras to send to Shen'er?" Zhang Qingling was a little jealous. Why was it always the Song family girl who discovered the things hidden in the cave? Why didn't others have the same luck?
“Lingling, don’t say things like that again. Tantan meant well and genuinely cares about Shen’er. The fact that they are always the first to discover the food and clothing hidden in the cave shows that they are lucky. Luck is something that can’t be forced.” Zhang Qingyu frowned and shook her head slightly.
When Song Zhuiyan first discovered food in the cave, and everyone received their share, Zhang Qingyu specifically searched other caves for any hidden food, but she found nothing despite searching for so long.
She believed that she was not the only one searching for food in the caves like her. Many people in the village had done it, but no one had the ability to find any. Only the Song family girl had this opportunity. What else could it be but fate?
“Song Zhuiyan acts almost like a man. Look at how she walks with such a bold and decisive manner, where is there any womanly reserve? Her niece is the same, running around with a knife all day long at such a young age, and even catching wild boars... Only rough people like them could find such a remote cave.” Zhang Qingling went further and further as she spoke, her beautiful face becoming slightly distorted.
"Sister, stop talking," Zhang Qingyu gently scolded. Her sister wasn't like this before. Ever since they fled from war and were separated from their parents, and suffered so much, her personality had become increasingly strange. "If it weren't for women like them, how could they have saved us back then?"
"In this world, if there's no man in the family, how can you survive peacefully without being tough and fierce?" Although Zhang Qingyu didn't think much of Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan, she had to admit that the two were really capable, and she was sometimes a little envious and jealous.
"Anyway, I don't like them." Zhang Qingling snorted and went back to her room.
Zhao Zhongnian was salting the wolf meat on the side, seemingly oblivious to the conversation between the two young ladies. He kept his head down, his expression unchanged. Although he was somewhat disappointed in the second young lady, it was not something he could concern himself with.
Despite his current predicament, a master is a master, and he is merely a servant who has no right to criticize.
"Lingling is young and can't adapt to her current life right now, which is why her personality has changed so much. She'll get better gradually." Zhang Qingyu said in a low voice, it was unclear whether she was saying this to Uncle Zhao or to herself.
Zhao Zhongnian paused, hesitatingly speaking, "Miss, no matter what, Miss Song saved our lives. Second Miss, this isn't right." He was just offering a friendly reminder; whether the two young ladies listened or not was beyond his control.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I'll talk to my sister." Zhang Qingyu pursed her lips and went inside, clearly not wanting to talk any further.
As the weather gets colder, some people with weaker constitutions still fall ill despite having quilts and blankets. The majority of those who fall ill are the elderly and children.
So Ye Moxun had to temporarily take on the responsibility of a doctor. He fumbled around to take people's pulses and then prescribe medicine. Fortunately, he and Song Tantan had collected a lot of herbs beforehand, which came in very handy at this time.
When herbal remedies proved ineffective, Song Tantan had no choice but to retrieve Western medicine from her spatial storage.
At this point, he said to the patient, "These special pills are something that Tantan and I developed together recently. Try taking them and see if they work."
Zhu Xiu and A Zhu, along with a dozen others, had great faith in Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan because they had previously taken the medicine given to them by Song Zhuiyan, and it had been very effective.
The people of Linjia Village were unsure of what to do. Ye Moxun suggested they try it out, and they were initially quite worried, feeling like they were risking their lives to test the medicine. After all, although Ye Moxun was the only 'doctor' in Songlin Village, he was also a novice, and who knew what would happen if they took the new medicine he made?
However, after the people who took the medicine recovered in a few days, everyone gradually came to recognize Ye Moxun's medical skills.
