In the end, Ye Moxun couldn't figure out if the antidote had any side effects, but he gave the anesthetic powder to Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan, and gathered more than a dozen young men to go into the deep mountains to hunt wild animals.
They decided to take the initiative and eliminate the ferocious beasts near the deep mountains, so that they wouldn't have to worry about them damaging their crops every few days or even eating their people.
The wall was built three meters high, so the elderly, women and children were safe in the village. The older men who stayed behind were there to protect the women and children. This time they were going deep into the mountains and it might take a long time, possibly a night or two, so there had to be men in the village to guard them.
Ye Moxun also stayed in the village. He didn't want to stay, but no one was there to take care of him. Song Tantan even said in a high-sounding manner, "The village has more than eighty people in your care. You must protect them. Remember to give each person a packet of anesthetic powder. Once a wild beast appears, sprinkle the powder to anesthetize it and then immediately slit its throat."
Don't wait until it wakes up before attacking people.
"I know, stop nagging," Ye Moxun replied in a sullen voice with a straight face.
"So many people are with you, what is there to be unhappy about? Ah Zhu, Ji Xiang, Chun Sheng, the Shui Mu Nian Hua brothers, and more than a dozen young men in the village. You can lead them and help them protect their homeland. What a proud thing that is."
The main problem is that he is physically weak and can only stay behind. Even if various amazing drugs are developed, it cannot change the fact that he is physically weak.
"Sigh, I can't put you in my space when we're in danger, because you'll be a hindrance when you can't run fast."
These words infuriated Ye Moxun. Every time, he complained that Song Tantan was a burden, and he would say the words "burden" without hesitation. Only Song Tantan dared to speak so bluntly in front of him. If it were anyone else, he would have been poisoned to death if he had been given a handful of powder.
“I don’t mean to look down on you. You developed the anesthetic powder, and you deserve a lot of credit. Without the anesthetic powder and poison you developed, we wouldn’t dare to go into the deep mountains for a large-scale raid. But we can handle the tiring work of hunting in the mountains. You don’t need to go through all that trouble.”
It took a lot of persuasion and coaxing to finally calm Ye Moxun down and stop him from insisting on going hunting with them.
Song Tantan gave him a pile of books, saying, "You must be very bored at home alone. Take these books and read them. Copy down what you need to copy. I'll also give you a desk lamp so you can continue copying at night."
"I don't have time. I have to teach in the morning and supervise students' martial arts practice in the afternoon. I'm very busy." Ye Moxun refused to copy the book and glared at her.
Give him more good food than he should, and pile up so many books to exhaust him.
"Okay, chocolate, potato chips, fried chicken, tiramisu... cola, milk, hide them well, don't let outsiders see them." Song Tantan took out a large bag of snacks, enough to last for several days.
"Give me another handful of hard candies." Hard candies were used to coax other children. If you needed the village children to do something, you would give each of them a candy, and they would all be extremely eager to do so.
Zhong Qingyi was also relieved that Ye Moxun had developed a variety of powerful poisons, so she felt at ease leaving him alone at home. After all, there was a high wall blocking the way outside, and with them fighting in the deep mountains, the village was currently the safest place.
After the hunting party left, Ye Moxun continued his classes as usual, even attending a few extra classes. He also substituted for the other teachers' classes. As for the beginner's literacy class, he wrote down the characters to be learned that day on a self-made blackboard (which was just a large wooden board with a charcoal pencil).
He would lead the students to read it a few times, and once they could read it, he would have them copy it until they memorized it. He would then sit on the platform and translate it himself. He would read the simplified Chinese text the night before, memorize it, and then write it down from memory.
The students were very obedient because the top three performers would get candy. To get candy, no one dared to slack off. The teacher had sharp eyes and could see clearly who was cheating or being lazy.
Deep in the mountains, Song Tantan followed closely behind Song Zhuiyan, walking faster and faster, but Zhong Qingyi's pace also quickened, and they couldn't shake her off no matter what, which frustrated the two of them. They wanted to act alone and put any wild beasts they encountered into their spatial storage, but with Zhong Qingyi following them too closely, they couldn't do their job properly.
"Brother Zhong, Tan Tan and I need to relieve ourselves. You and the others can go to the other side." Song Zhuiyan finally found an excuse to try to get rid of him and the others.
“Don’t go too far. We’ll stay here and keep watch. You go behind that tree,” Zhong Qingyi pointed to a tree less than three meters away from them. “Just call out if anything happens.”
Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan exchanged a quick glance, almost roaring inwardly, "So close, we can even hear the sound of water draining, who the hell could pull that out?"
Besides, they weren't really looking for convenience; they just wanted to find an opportunity to leave separately. But judging from the current situation, leaving separately was out of the question. They were afraid that as soon as they left, Zhong Qingyi would bring people to look for them, which would only cause trouble.
"Roar..." Suddenly, a roar came from afar, startling everyone.
“There’s a big worm,” Lin Fuhai’s eldest son, Lin Tiancheng, said in a trembling voice.
"What should we do?" Everyone looked at Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan.
Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan weren't in a hurry to relieve themselves right now. They wanted to rush over and catch the tiger, but they only thought about it and didn't actually do it.
They couldn't escape. Zhong Qingyi was skilled in light-footed martial arts and had been following them closely. Could they possibly put the giant worm into their spatial storage right in front of him? They could only wait and see.
"Don't panic, everyone. Hold on tight to your axes and broadswords, and get the medicine powder ready too. Be alert and act according to the situation." Song Zhuiyan took the medicine powder and walked quickly towards the source of the roar, with Song Tantan following closely behind.
Zhong Qingyi: "..." Couldn't you have discussed how to do it before taking action? Why did you rush up without saying a word?
"Well, I'll go head-on and draw the worm's attention. You guys hide first, and once Tantan and I start fighting the worm, you can find an opportunity to rush in and help." Song Zhuiyan gave a very hasty arrangement.
"I'll go instead. How can I let you and Tantan go first?" Zhong Qingyi firmly disagreed with this unreasonable arrangement. How could he, a grown man, hide in the back instead of standing in front?
But Song Zhuiyan gave him no chance to reason with her, and pulled Song Tantan away like a gust of wind, their figures quickly disappearing from their sight.
Zhong Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately chased after him. The others looked at each other for a moment and then followed.
"Prepare the anesthetic powder; the moment to witness a miracle has arrived." Everyone had only experimented on pigs and chickens, and the results were excellent; they could knock someone unconscious within ten seconds.
But facing the giant tiger, Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan's hearts pounded wildly. She had already made three preparations: the first was anesthesia, the second was Song Tantan putting the tiger into her spatial storage, and the third was Song Zhuiyan putting the tiger into her spatial storage.
The situation is no joke. If you get hit by a palm strike, you'll be seriously injured, and you might even have your neck bitten off by a tiger and die.
"Next time, let Uncle Zhong lead the way. Our behavior just now was too abnormal. Normal women wouldn't act like us. Tigers are terrifying." The main problem was that there wasn't just one; there were two tigers, a male and a female.
Song Tantan realized that she and her aunt were really audacious. Relying on their spatial abilities, they rushed forward whenever they encountered danger. This behavior was not good and needed to be changed.
