Perhaps even God didn't want Shen Miao to die like this, for a shadow appeared overhead.
Shen Miao was overjoyed and immediately asked for help: "Could you please pull me up from above? I can give you a reward."
The person above scoffed.
Shen Miao detected a hint of malice in that laugh.
She had a bad feeling and squinted at the people above.
Upon closer inspection, her passionate heart instantly turned cold.
Damn it, why did it have to be Green Pearl, that female beast she had a grudge against? Is God trying to kill her?
When Shen Miao realized that the person above was Green Pearl, she immediately shut her mouth.
She would rather die here than ask Green Pearl for help.
"Oh, who do we have here? It's Shen Miao. What's wrong with her? Wasn't she supposed to be powerful? Why is she hiding in the pit like an animal?" Green Pearl squatted on top, saying gloatingly.
Shen Miao: "You're the beast, your mouth is so filthy."
Green Pearl's smile vanished, and she said coldly, "You're quite stubborn. Even now, you still won't admit defeat."
Shen Miao raised the corners of her mouth, "Give in to you? Dream on. Get out of my way and stop squatting on top of me, you're blocking other people from rescuing me."
“Hey, how about this,” Green Pearl’s eyes darted around, “you say a few nice words to me, and kowtow to me a couple of times, maybe I’ll be in a good mood and pull you up.”
Shen Miao rolled up a snowball and threw it hard at her, "Fine, I'll kowtow to you, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"
Caught off guard, Green Pearl screamed and fell backward, covering her face.
Shen Miao burst into laughter.
Green Pearl was so angry that her face turned ashen. After getting up from the ground, she kicked the snow hard at Shen Miao's head a few times and left in a huff.
"They left so easily? They're so easily amused." Shen Miao grabbed a clump of snow out of boredom and stuffed it into her mouth.
I don't know when we'll be able to get out, so I'll just drink some water first.
As she was making plans in her mind, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the bald man again. Shen Miao looked up and, with a splash, a pile of foul-smelling, sticky stuff fell from the sky and soaked her.
"Enjoy it," Green Pearl said, and then strode away again.
Shen Miao cursed, looked down, and was so angry that her vision went black.
That vicious female beast went out of her way to get pig's blood and poured it all over her. Luckily, it was cold and the blood froze, otherwise she would be in real trouble.
Shen Miao flicked the pig's blood off her clothes, and even felt a pang of regret for the wasted blood.
She was getting colder and colder, and fearing she might freeze to death there, she could only raise her voice and call for help again.
Not long after the call, footsteps sounded again.
Shen Miao cursed inwardly, "Green Pearl, you idiot, are you ever going to stop? Do it again, and I promise I won't skin you alive when we get up there!"
Shen Miao put on a fierce expression, but a puzzled orc voice came from above her head: "Shen Miao?"
"ha?"
Shen Miao suddenly looked up.
Above them was the face of an honest and simple-minded orc, none other than Feng Yao, the tiger-beastman from the tribe.
Shen Miao was overjoyed. This tiger-beastman was usually not talkative and had never spoken ill of Shen Miao, so he would definitely be willing to save her!
"Brother Fengyao, it's me. Are you going hunting in the mountains? Sigh, I'm having such bad luck today. I fell into a pit and haven't seen a single beastman come over for ages." Shen Miao chatted enthusiastically.
Feng Yao: "People tend to stay indoors less on snowy days. Wait a minute, I'll pull you up."
Shen Miao was delighted, but after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Brother Fengyao, do you have a rope?"
It wasn't that Shen Miao was being difficult, but rather that she was afraid Feng Yao would pull her up directly without being able to, given her size.
Just then, Feng Yao was going up the mountain to hunt and actually brought some straw rope with her.
He lowered the rope, let Shen Miao hold it, and then pulled the person up himself.
"Brother Fengyao, thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done today if it weren't for you."
Shen Miao thanked Feng Yao repeatedly, then noticed that Feng Yao was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed. She looked down at the flesh on her body and her face turned red. It was all this flesh that had made Brother Feng Yao so tired.
"It's nothing, we're all from the same tribe, it's just a small favor. You're all wet, I brought an extra animal hide here, put it on quickly." Feng Yao waved her hand and handed Shen Miao an animal hide.
Shen Miao was shivering from the cold, and without caring about being polite, she quickly took the cloak and put it on.
Feng Yao also saw the blood all over her body, but didn't ask any questions.
After seeing that Shen Miao had put on the animal skin, he urged her to go back quickly.
"Then I'll head back now, Brother Fengyao. I'll keep today's events in mind," Shen Miao said earnestly.
Feng Yao smiled, said nothing, and turned to go hunting up the mountain.
Shen Miao returned home trembling all the way, and the children were stunned to see her like this.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" The children swarmed around her.
Shen Miao took a step back, preventing them from getting close. She was wet and smelly, and even she was disgusted by her own appearance, so how could she let them get near her?
The children were a little confused because they hadn't run into anyone.
"Mother is fine, she just tripped and fell. Don't come near her, she's filthy."
Da Bao's eyes flashed, and he stared at Shen Miao for a long time before speaking, "No, you're lying. You wouldn't fall like this from a wrestling match, and there's blood on you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Sibao cried out, "Mommy, you're hurt! Waaah, Sibao doesn't want Mommy to be hurt!"
“It’s not my blood, baby, look, it’s pig’s blood. Mother isn’t hurt,” Shen Miao quickly reassured her.
Da Bao pursed his lips. "Why is there pig's blood on your body after you wrestled? Did that vicious female beast Green Pearl bully you again?"
Huh? Shen Miao blinked, somewhat stunned.
Did Green Pearl bully her? No, didn't she always make Green Pearl cry?
Seeing that Shen Miao didn't answer, Da Bao became even more certain of his guess and said angrily, "Why is she always causing you trouble? I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Shen Miao felt a warm glow in her heart; even such a young child knew how to protect her.
But having the intention is one thing; Shen Miao wouldn't go so far as to send a little brat to settle scores for her.
She quickly stopped him and coaxed, "Sweetie, don't go."
"Why can't I go? She made you look so pathetic. She's so hateful. I'm not going to let her get away with this!" Da Bao shouted, clearly furious.
Shen Miao's heart softened, and she spoke with even more patience: "Da Bao, it's not that your mother doesn't want you to go, but if we go like this, it will seem like we're in the wrong. Because no one saw what Green Pearl did to me, everyone will just think that we went to cause trouble for her. With her personality of being good at pretending to be weak, she will definitely turn the tables on us. Do you want everyone to say that you are unreasonable?"
Da Bao said, feeling wronged, "I'm not afraid."
“Yes, we’re not afraid, but there’s no need to.” Shen Miao said casually, “Today, I’ll teach you a saying: ‘A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years.’”
