"Okay, there's nothing else to do, just...my child, no one will bother us here. If you want to live here, that's totally fine!"
He looked at Ye Wu meaningfully.
Ye Wu understood what he meant.
"Don't worry, it's very nice and peaceful here."
The village chief smiled and nodded, and added: "Everyone will be patrolling starting tomorrow. You haven't been here before, so you don't need to participate this time. But be careful, there are wild beasts coming in every year."
"Well, thank you village chief."
The Chen family's banquet ended, and Chen Xiaoyu was busy packing her things.
Ye Wushang went to help, but Li Yan didn't show any weakness when he saw this, and stepped in between the two of them.
Chen Xiaoyu was interrupted by Ye Wu several times when she was talking to him, and she was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.
"Xiaoyu, why are you so mean to me? I brought a large piece of wild boar meat to your family this time, enough to last you a long time! I killed it myself!"
"Yes, yes! If you feel sorry for me, I will return it to you!"
"No, I didn't mean that..." Li Yan glanced at Ye Wu, "Then he didn't give you anything, so why do you treat him better than me?"
"He just arrived, what did you ask him to give you? Besides, he looks like Mr. Qingjun at first glance, is he the same as you?"
"...How can it be different when we live together everywhere!"
Chen Xiaoyu didn't want to talk to him, so she pulled Ye Wu and was about to leave.
Li Yan was anxious.
"Where are you going?"
"It's none of your business. Didn't you say you would help me wash the dishes? Why are you standing up?"
"Didn't he also say he would help..."
"Are people like you? Aren't you capable?"
Chen Xiaoyu's words choked Li Yan and he was speechless.
Li Yan could only watch the two of them leave, and sat there washing dishes in grief and anger.
After leaving the Chen family, Ye Wucai took out the jade article.
"This is a birthday gift for your mother. There were too many people just now, so we couldn't take it out."
Chen Xiaoyu looked at the jade in his hand, which was of excellent quality at first glance, and was stunned.
"No, I can't have this!" She refused quickly.
This is too valuable.
"I don't want to live in vain, and I have nothing to give. If you need money someday, this can be an emergency."
Chen Xiaoyu was both happy and disappointed.
Happiness was his gift, and this young man was so polite. Disappointment was that he was too alienated, which always made her feel distant.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s already much better than the beginning.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoyu smiled at Ye Wu.
Ye Wu subconsciously turned his head.
Her smile was too clean and beautiful.
Chen Xiaoyu felt a little depressed when she saw this, but Ye Wu had already left.
…
People were already busy on the second day. The traps and trenches around the village had been maintained all year round, and now they were all inspected. Old, young, women and children gathered together, and men were guarding and inspecting various parts of the village.
Ye Wu is also here.
Chen Xiaoyu greeted him.
"Ye Wu, come here!"
The old people looked at Ye Wu and followed suit.
"Yes, kid, come here, your brother can't come out yet? Can you help me?"
"Yeah, how about we help you take them out? Are you injured and can't get out of bed?"
Some people said, but couldn't help but look at Ye Wu. This kid is good-looking, but he is too frail.
But some girls still blushed.
Ye Wudao: "There's nothing serious about them, they're just out of sight. I can't get there. Is there anything else I need help with?"
"No!" Chen Xiaoyu said, "Come on, the wild beast may come in the next two days. What should you do if you get injured?"
Ye Wu hesitated, he didn't really want to argue, it was too troublesome.
Li Yan smiled as he passed by.
"You're so weak, you'd better hide! Don't get hurt!"
"You are the only one who talks too much!" Chen Xiaoyu glared at him.
"Ye Wu, don't be brave, just let them do this kind of thing."
Li Yan looked angrily on the sidelines.
He obviously means well, so why do you say that to him? Do their words mean different things?
Also, what do they mean by doing this?
"Coming, coming!" someone shouted.
"So fast?" Li Yan was shocked, and ignored Ye Wu and hurried back to his post.
Seeing Ye Wu looking towards the entrance of the village, Chen Xiaoyu said: "Don't be afraid, we meet them every year. There are many traps around and they can't get in. Maybe everyone can catch some game to eat!"
Ye Wu nodded.
He sensed that some of the auras approaching quickly were indeed wild beasts, so he did not step forward.
It seems that the village has indeed become accustomed to this and is not very worried.
It's just that I can't help but sigh occasionally.
"I hope you don't get hurt."
But for those of them who live on the mountains, injuries are inevitable.
The men outside were fighting with wild beasts, and many wild beasts were killed in traps.
Wild beasts want to kill them, so why don't they gather some meat before winter?
Gradually, the smell of blood spread in.
Ye Wu felt a little uncomfortable.
He is easily stimulated now.
Sensing his uneasiness, Chen Xiaoyu thought he was worried and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, you really don't have to be afraid."
Ye Wu shook his head, he just didn't like the taste.
The battle lasted for most of the day, and the beasts dispersed, some carrying the bodies of their companions or other beasts in their mouths.
A group of men also returned home with full loads and excitement.
There were also injuries, not serious, and the women hurriedly took out medicine and bandaged them.
"These beasts are no good this year! I killed a dozen of them alone!" Li Yan said loudly, paying attention to Chen Xiaoyu from the corner of his eye from time to time.
But Chen Xiaoyu just looked at Ye Wu.
He was a little unconvinced and continued: "I killed one..."
"Ah!" a scream sounded.
Li Yan's spine felt chilly, and a fishy wind blew up from behind him.
He only saw his shadow projected on the ground, covering a huge shadow.
Ye Wu grabbed the machete used by the old, young, women and children to defend themselves and threw it out.
The machete flew straight towards the tiger with its bloody mouth open.
The tiger sensed the danger and turned in mid-air with great agility.
The machete passed over Li Yan's head and grazed the tiger's ear.
The tiger fell to the ground and roared angrily.
The villagers screamed again.
Others finally reacted and looked at the tiger in horror.
"How did it get in!"
From beginning to end, they never saw a tiger!
This tiger unexpectedly appeared secretly. If Ye Wu hadn't reacted in time just now, Li Yan's head would have been eaten by the tiger.
Moreover, the size of this tiger was ridiculously large. It was only targeting Ye Wu, who had just injured him, and there was actually a cunning light in its eyes.
The village chief murmured: "This... this is becoming a spirit..."
This opens up the spiritual wisdom.
Ye Wu grabbed another machete and stood up.
The tiger roared again, its huge body almost the size of a house, and rushed towards Ye Wu.
