After letting the two go, Nan Zhi finally paid attention to Nan Chunxian.
"He was knocked unconscious with a stick, but he's not seriously injured."
"Erbao, carry him on your back, let's go back."
Erbao and Sanbao have been hiding in the mountains for too long; it's time for them to see the world.
Ping'an Village.
One person and two wolves walked casually down the road.
The villagers who were passing by were so frightened that their legs went weak.
"Wolves! There are wolves!"
There are still two.
Moreover, the wolf was carrying a person on its back.
When Erbao got tired of carrying her, Nanzhi stopped and rested under the big locust tree in the village.
Passersby were terrified and ran away in a panic.
"Erdan, come back with your mother!" The woman held her five-year-old child in her hand, her heart filled with fear.
Erdan: "Mom, what's that?"
Erdan's mother: "That's a wolf, it eats people! Come back with me quickly."
Erdan tilted his head back and chewed on his fingers.
Wolves are so cute, I really want to pet them.
Thinking this, Erdan quickly shook off his mother's hand and ran towards the wolves.
"Erdan! Come back quickly!" Erdan's mother was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
Others rushed over and grabbed her, preventing her from moving forward.
Erdan ran straight to Nanzhi.
"Sister, may I touch it?"
If two wolves enter the village, the villagers must be terrified.
Why not take this opportunity to let them know that wolves do not harm people?
"Of course, Sanbao, come here."
Sanbao stood up and walked step by step to Erdan.
Erdan's mother was so frightened that she fainted.
Sanbao lowered his head, and the child could just reach it.
Erdan stretched out his hand, and the onlookers looked terrified.
Oh no, Erdan is going to be gone.
Someone has already gone to inform Erdan's family.
The enormous creature suddenly appeared in front of him, and Erdan finally became frightened.
Sanbao waited for a long time, but no one touched him.
So he leaned his head in.
The touch was soft and warm, and Erdan's eyes lit up.
Then another child from who-knows-where ran over, accompanied by a tearing roar from behind.
Sanbao was surrounded by a group of children and was overjoyed.
Erbao was jealous. If it weren't for the person on his back, he would definitely be the one who's popular now.
Just then, a little girl stood in front of Erbao.
"Can I touch you?"
Erbao quickly leaned in to enjoy the child's touch.
Seeing them having so much fun made Namzhi happy too.
Aside from family members, no one wants to play with the second and third babies.
Now there are even more children.
As more and more children join in, so do the parents who are breaking down.
Nanzhi didn't want to explain to those people, because what she said wasn't as good as what they saw.
To change the villagers' perception of wolves, we must start with children.
"Alright, kids, we're going back now." Nanzhi patted the little girl's head.
"Sister, can we still play with Erbao and Sanbao?"
Everyone else looked toward Nanzhi.
Even Erbao and Sanbao wagged their tails obsequiously at Nanzhi.
Nanzhi almost couldn't tell whether these two were wolves or dogs.
She leaned down and said, "Of course you can. Come to my house whenever you want to play."
The children ran happily to their families.
Then they were all dragged back by their ears.
Erdan's family came and took Erdan's mother and Erdan back home.
Not long after, the county magistrate sent someone to find Nanzhi.
Nam Zhi had no choice but to go there.
“Sister, I’ll go with you.” Nan Chunxian had a white cloth wrapped around her forehead.
Upon learning of the matter, Nanlai Taihe and Qian Lanfang also wanted to go along.
The group drove the carriage to the county government office.
Nan Zhi entered the courtroom, and before she could speak, Tan Jiu pointed at her.
"That's right, sir. She released wolves to attack us. If we hadn't run fast, we would probably be eaten by the wolves by now."
"Your Excellency, you must do us justice!"
This is the county government office, and sitting in the hall is the county magistrate. Let's see how Nanzhi fares this time.
Magistrate Pei Jian immediately came down from the hall.
He knelt before Nanzhi.
Pei Jian greets Lord Nan.
Nan Zhi said softly, "Get up. Your Excellency will judge the case impartially."
Pei Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Two fools who don't know their own mortality dare to sue Lord Nan.
Tan Jiu and Yu Qing were dumbfounded.
The county magistrate actually knelt down in front of Nanzhi.
Nan Chunxian bowed to Pei Jian.
"My lord, these two women knocked me unconscious in the mountains, intending to use me to marry into the Nan family. Fortunately, my elder sister saved me, which is why I am standing here. I beg you, my lord, to do me justice!"
Nan Chunxian knelt down.
Tan Jiu panicked, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. He clearly tried to do something to my daughter, so I knocked him unconscious."
Everyone looked at Yuqing and Nan Chunxian.
Isn't this blatant lying?
Nan Chunxian is now a scholar, handsome and dashing, while your girl is big and burly.
How blind must one be to find something they like?
Qian Lanfang gritted her teeth in hatred: "How could my Chunxian possibly be interested in a daughter like yours? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? How shameless can you be?"
Her daughter is exceptionally beautiful; she would be a perfect match for even a daughter of an official.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
"They're officials; even the county magistrate has to bow down to them. Why would they take a fancy to your daughter!"
"Why don't you look in the mirror when you're making up lies?"
"These days, how shameless do people have to be to try to climb the social ladder?"
Yuqing's cheeks burned as she listened; her mother might not care about saving face, but she did.
She will get married in the future.
If only she hadn't listened to her mother's urging and had honestly confessed her guilt.
Tan Jiu never expected things to develop this way.
She absolutely must not confess, otherwise if her crime is proven, Nanzhi will definitely not let her off the hook.
