Good heavens, how could a wild wolf have whip marks on its body?
Did it whip itself?
"Second Brother!~" Little Xi Tian plopped down on the wolf's body and waved her little hands at Yun Er Man.
She was just a little child and couldn't handle such complicated matters.
But Little Xi Tian's heart was clear as day.
She just couldn't express it clearly.
Yun Er Man was busy dealing with villagers who came to seek apprenticeship.
Upon hearing his sister call him, Yun Er Man quickly broke free and slipped away.
"Hey, Er Man, don't run! I'm not asking to learn for free!"
"Er Man, who is your master? I'll find him to learn skills tomorrow!"
Someone picked up a syringe from the ground, pondered for a moment, and then casually threw it away.
This thing was finely crafted, sharp and long.
They had no use for it if they took it back, and they were afraid of pricking themselves.
"What's wrong, sister?" Yun Er Man ran over.
Little Xi Tian pointed to the back of the lead wolf, "Wolf fur!~"
Yun Er Man looked closely and was stunned, "How did this wolf get whip marks on its body?"
Those were scars left after the skin was torn open.
It must have suffered a lot in the past.
Just then, the village chief walked over, glanced at the whip marks, and said faintly, "Let's carry these dead wolves back first!"
Too many absurd things had happened in Dashui Village recently.
It was baffling, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong...
When he got back, he had to gather the villagers and discuss it carefully.
The villagers, with their hands and feet, carried the wild wolves and the Hu Daquan father and son down the mountain.
By this time, the sky was gradually darkening.
The setting sun sank into the horizon, casting a dazzling glow.
At the entrance of Dashui Village, several hundred people had gathered.
They looked at the carcasses of the earth dragons again and again, marveling.
Gu Shi and Old Man Yun looked around, searching for Yun Er Man and their daughter.
"Are all those who fought the wolves back?" Old Man Yun asked everyone he met.
"Not yet, I heard your Er Man made a great contribution!"
"Those wild wolves were beaten so badly, it was all your Er Man who killed them alone!"
Old Man Yun was slightly taken aback, "Is that true or false?"
How did he not know his second son had this ability?
"Of course, it's true. Er Man can throw darts. See? He killed these earth dragons too!"
Old Man Yun: "..."
He was a little confused and looked at Gu Shi blankly.
"Old woman, could it be our little daughter..."
"Don't talk nonsense, there are too many ears around!" Gu Shi interrupted him.
Although she also knew it was her little daughter's credit.
But it couldn't be heard by those with ulterior motives, lest it bring disaster.
Liu Cuirong, upon hearing that her husband had become a great hero, rushed out of the house, her steps practically floating.
Yun Da Man and Zhao Guihua also congratulated them with smiles, feeling honored.
"They're back, they're back..."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The wolf fighters are back!~"
Upon hearing this, the villagers swarmed forward.
They mainly wanted to get close to Yun Er Man.
Such a powerful figure was like a god of war descended, omnipotent...
"Er Man, you usually don't show off, why are you so low-key?"
"Yes! Someone as skilled as you should not be farming in Dashui Village, it's a waste."
"Er Man, do you take disciples? I can help with farming and carrying water for your family, for free!"
"......"
In an instant, Yun Er Man's popularity soared.
He became the focus of the entire village and even all the refugees.
Little Xi Tian's head ached from the noise.
She 'pitter-pattered' to Gu Shi, "Mother!"
Mother was still the gentlest and most understanding!~
"Oh, my dear daughter, are you hurt?"
Gu Shi picked her up and kissed her cheeks.
Little Xi Tian shook her little head, "No!~"
It was just that killing so many earth dragons and wild wolves had drained her energy.
"Er Man, my husband!~"
Liu Cuirong suddenly called out and rushed towards him like a flying arrow.
The villagers consciously made way for the young couple to reunite.
Unexpectedly, Yun Er Man looked disgusted, "Don't... don't come over!"
He cared about his reputation and didn't want his wife to be embarrassed in public.
Liu Cuirong, however, didn't care.
She flew over and crashed into Yun Er Man with a 'bang'.
Then she hugged her husband's neck and kissed him repeatedly.
Everyone: "......"
They weren't even trying to avoid anyone?
"Alright, stop kissing!" Yun Er Man frowned and pushed her away.
It was truly embarrassing!
Liu Cuirong smiled brightly and felt Yun Er Man's body.
The villagers thought she was concerned about her husband.
Whether he was injured or bruised.
Unexpectedly, Liu Cuirong directly said, "Where's the money? The village chief must have given you money for killing the wild wolves and earth dragons, right?"
Everyone again: "......"
Good heavens, did this woman only care about money?
"No!" Yun Er Man irritably pushed her away.
The village chief ignored this scene and announced loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet, I have something to say!"
"These earth dragons and wild wolves were all killed by Yun Er Man, and the spoils of war rightfully belong to the Yun family."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
The villagers nodded in agreement.
Although the refugees were a bit displeased, the沟沟 lake and the mountains were now peaceful.
They wouldn't starve, so there was no need to fuss over a few wolves and earth dragons.
Old Man Yun pinched Little Xi Tian's face and smiled, "Daughter, tomorrow we'll skin the wolf hides and let your eldest sister-in-law make you a wolf-skin mattress!~"
"No!" Little Xi Tian refused.
She liked wolf-skin cloaks, how imposing would that be to wear out!~
"Cloak, cloak!~" Little Xi Tian gestured with her little hands.
Old Man Yun smiled knowingly, "Okay, a cloak it is!"
At this moment, a burst of wailing erupted from the crowd.
A white-haired old woman threw herself onto two corpses and cried loudly.
"Old man,呜呜呜, you killer, I told you the mountain was dangerous, but you insisted on going!~"
"Not only did you take our son's life, but you were also bitten to death by wolves,呜呜呜......"
"With you two gone, how will we, the orphaned and widowed, live!"
The villagers glanced at the old woman and sighed.
Times were hard for everyone these days.
But as long as the man didn't fall, there was still hope for the family.
Now that Hu Daquan and his son were both dead, the remaining women would either starve to death or beg on the streets.
The sky had completely darkened, and the villagers went home to cook their meals.
Yun Da Man and Yun Er Man also carried the earth dragons and wild wolves back.
They planned to keep a few for meat and sell the rest in the county town.
They had never sold earth dragon meat or wolf meat before and didn't know if it was valuable.
"Old man, let's give some of the meat to the villagers!"
Gu Shi tucked Little Xi Tian into bed. Little Xi Tian was tired today.
After returning, she hadn't even eaten dinner before falling sound asleep.
Old Man Yun smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He had already planned to buy his wife a necklace with the money they earned.
Gu Shi had worked hard all these years managing the household and had become a haggard woman.
Yun Er Man looked at his sleeping daughter and gently held Gu Shi.
A pair of rough hands began to wander unsteadily.
"Tsk, you old rascal, our daughter is here!" Gu Shi's cheeks flushed.
Old Man Yun chuckled foolishly, "Tian Bao is asleep, it's fine!"
Little Xi Tian: "......"
She opened her big eyes and consciously covered her head with the quilt...
