Chapter 36 Dog Man and Woman
The man clutched his chest, stumbled, and almost knelt on the ground.
"Are you alright? Has the poison flared up again?"
The man ignored Lu Qingqing and turned to leave.
His steps were slightly unsteady.
Yet it still possesses a sense of ethereal detachment, as if it might ride the wind and disappear from sight at any moment.
It vanished before our eyes.
"Thump!"
He really disappeared.
I fell into a pit.
Between dragging the wolf away and rescuing the people, Lu Qingqing chose to catch the bird first.
The pigeon and flying squirrel in my arms almost ran away!
After tying the two birds up, she quickly ran to the edge of the pit.
This is a trap made by hunters, presumably to catch wild boars; it's two meters long.
Moreover, there was a row of bamboo spikes underneath; if you fell in, you'd be stabbed in the gut!
The man gripped the edge of the pit with both hands, desperately trying to keep himself from falling in.
"Is there glue stuck in your mouth? Can't you shout? Grab your clothes!"
Lu Qingqing was truly impressed.
She didn't hear any sound and thought there was no danger, but she didn't expect that the person was holding on.
A piece of clothing fell down.
The man looked up.
The eyes beneath the mask were shrouded in a gray haze, and the sunlight was too bright for him to see clearly.
The garment, as if fallen from the sky, shimmered with golden light.
His eyes gradually focused, and he gripped it desperately, as if grasping a rope to save him from an abyss.
Lu Qingqing struggled to pull the person up.
The new clothes her sister-in-law had just made for her were already wrinkled.
She put it back on, panting heavily as she supported herself with her arms.
"Even if few people come here, you can't set such a dangerous trap! If it were an ordinary person, they would be dead for sure!"
"Young master, I offended you unintentionally before, but now we've helped each other out, so you shouldn't hold it against me, right?"
"Oh, and tell those two companions not to lay a hand on me again if they see me."
"Excuse me for asking, what kind of poison have you been given? I also know a little about medicine, would you like me to take a look?"
After all that talking, the man was like a mute.
His gaze was fixed on the cloth bag at Lu Qingqing's waist.
Feng Xiaowan put her heart into making the cloth bag; she not only embroidered a vine branch but also sewed a tassel around the bottom.
Want some candy?
Lu Qingqing took out a piece of candy from her cloth bag and handed it to him.
The man's gaze remained fixed on the candy, but he didn't take it.
Fool!
Lu Qingqing withdrew her hand, deciding not to waste any more time with him.
There are wolves here; it's best not to linger.
Lu Qingqing moved a large rock and threw it directly into the trap, breaking the sharp bamboo spikes.
He checked again to make sure the wolf was really dead before he picked it up.
Wolf meat is also a good thing; it's warming, nourishing, dispels cold, and strengthens muscles and bones.
Even a wolf pelt is worth five taels of silver!
It was a close call, but thankfully nothing serious happened. Today's trip was definitely worthwhile.
Lu Qingqing naturally considered the wolf her own, and without finding it too heavy, she went back along the road to find her basket.
"Um... Brother Xiuwen, are you serious?"
Suddenly, a affected, strained sound came from the dense grass.
"Really. You have no idea how disgusting Lu Qingqing is. She's incredibly lazy, and her older brother does all the laundry."
"Also, she doesn't like to take showers, and she always smells bad. I feel nauseous even if I'm three feet away from her."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Dogs and dogs.
They've already come all the way up the mountain and still want to cricket her. Can't they do some activities that they like to cover up with mosaics?
Talking about her is such a waste of time!
"Do I smell bad?" The clamp's voice grew even louder, almost squeezing someone to death.
"Yes, it smells good..."
Things indeed developed as Lu Qingqing had hoped.
Lu Qingqing hid in the bushes and secretly looked over.
It's so spicy it hurts my eyes.
A skinny, pale monkey paired with a muscular, brown horse.
Report it.
If she had shouted at the crucial moment, would Skinny Monkey have been crippled?
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment and decided not to disrupt it, but to let the two lock each other in.
She turned around and found a long tree branch.
They slowly gathered up the clothes that the two had scattered everywhere.
"Pah! Who smells better here!"
Lu Qingqing disdainfully used a twig to pick up her clothes and slowly retreated from the bushes.
I was startled by someone outside the bushes as soon as I came out!
Oh my god!
When did this man arrive?
They even stood there openly eavesdropping in the corner.
"Shh..."
Lu Qingqing gestured for him to leave quickly.
They seemed to be getting into the swing of things inside, with each call growing louder than the last.
They truly don't know what the world is like.
Lu Qingqing was certain the man was out of his mind; he didn't even feel embarrassed and still wouldn't leave!
She didn't care anymore, she picked up the things on her back and ran off in a flash.
The man only looked away when the person was out of sight.
Puzzled, he went to look at the spot where Lu Qingqing had been squatting.
Upon seeing the scene inside, his calm eyes suddenly narrowed.
He then looked away in disgust and quickly left.
...
When Lu Qingqing reached the path she usually took down the mountain, she threw down a pile of clothes.
Many people come up the mountain every day to hunt and dig for vegetables, so someone is bound to find these clothes.
Whether this will lead to any further developments depends on the luck of that cheating couple.
She carried a wolf almost as tall as herself down the mountain, which immediately caused a huge uproar.
"My God! Lu Qingqing has killed a wolf!"
"You shouldn't mess with this girl!"
"That wolf must fetch a lot of money!"
"It looks like he smashed the wolf's head open with a single punch!"
As soon as Lu Qingqing arrived home, someone came to her door; it was a young hunter from the village.
"I'm going to town to sell leather tomorrow, do you want me to bring some back for you?"
"Ah, but we don't know how to process the hides."
The Lu family men are good at skinning, but they're not so good at tanning; doing it wrong could significantly reduce the value of the skin.
“I can help.”
"No need for that trouble," Old Man Lu said with a smile.
"How about you just take it, Zhang? How much do you think is appropriate?"
Finally, the hunter, Xiao Zhang, bought the whole wolf for four ounces.
However, Lu Qingqing demanded that the wolf fang be removed.
After Zhang the hunter left, Lu Feng asked in confusion, "We've never dealt with Zhang the hunter before, why did he suddenly come to our door?"
"Can't you see? He has feelings for your little sister!"
Old Man Lu was worried because his daughter was useless in the past and no matchmakers came to his door. Now that his daughter is capable, he is worried too.
I'm worried about where to find the best husband; I feel like none of the ugly guys in the village are good enough for me.
Hunters are definitely out of the question!
Soon a second person arrived.
It was Chen Cuihua, who hadn't visited for many years.
"I heard that Lu Qingqing caught a wolf. I've come to buy some wolf blood to use as a medicinal ingredient for my husband."
"Sister-in-law, the wolf was just bought by Hunter Zhang," said Old Man Lu.
Upon hearing this, Chen Cuihua turned her head and left without any expression.
Old Man Lu sighed.
Sunset and darkness.
The mountain village gradually fell into tranquility.
Suddenly, the barking of dogs began to rise and fall.
At the foot of the mountain, a commotion of voices could be heard.
