Chapter 50
Zhang Er glanced at the uneven ground and enthusiastically suggested, "The scholar's family is small, let's lend a hand and fill these holes back in."
“Yes, let’s each fill out a few, it’s just a quick buck.” Liu Cheng was a shrewd man, and immediately raised his hand to call out to the remaining young men.
Everyone came to help, giving Shang Wan no chance to refuse.
Shang Wan had mixed feelings. She thought that after she took action against Village Chief Lin, the villagers would be afraid of her and keep their distance from her, but it seemed that this was not the case.
It didn't even take fifteen minutes to fill the hole, since the excavated soil was right next to it; all we had to do was push it back into the hole and tamp it down.
After finishing their work, everyone said goodbye, and soon only Shang Wan's family remained.
Xiao Huan was touched as she watched the group leave, thinking, "There are still many good people in the village."
Stone nodded in agreement.
Shangwan declined to comment.
Shi Tou turned to look at her, "Sister, will the Lin family send the money?"
Shang Wan examined the jade pendant in her hand and casually replied, "Yes."
Shi Tou blindly trusted Shang Wan and didn't ask her why she was so certain. He happily went to tidy up the things that had been messed up.
Xiao Huan carried Yuan Yuan around the area and came back, puzzled, "Sister, didn't you call Xiao Hui back? Why isn't it here?"
She had initially thought that Little Gray had hidden away out of fear of scaring people, but now that everyone had left and the wolf still hadn't come out, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
“It’s the biggest hero of today.” Shang Wan glanced in the direction of the forest. “It will be back once the Lin family brings the silver.”
Xiao Huan was completely confused, but seeing that Shang Wan didn't intend to say anything more, she obediently didn't ask any further questions. She put Yuan Yuan on the straw mat to play with the little turtle, and rolled up her sleeves to help Shi Tou with his work.
Shang Wan placed the jade pendant into Lu Chengjing's arms, and then pulled the thin blanket that had slipped down to his waist straight to his chest.
Seeing that Shi Tou and Xiao Huan could handle the mess, Shang Wan bent down, picked up Yuan Yuan, said goodbye to the two of them, and went into the mountain to move wood.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was going into the mountains, Shang Wan wanted to test Yuan Yuan's abilities.
"Good boy, how many animals can you attract?"
Yuan Yuan tilted her little head, her bright black eyes clearly reflecting Shang Wan's appearance, and said softly, "More."
Shang Wan wasn't sure exactly how much "many" meant, so she sat down on the fallen tree trunk with Yuan Yuan in her arms, pinching the little guy's cheeks. "Try it, attract as many as you can, but don't let them bark and scream randomly."
Yuanyuan blinked her big, round eyes, her clever little head trying hard to understand what her mother meant.
Shang Wan didn't rush her. She looked around at the trees and wondered how many she should carry back later.
"Come on." Yuanyuan suddenly clapped her hands, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.
Shang Wan looked down at her, listening intently to the sounds coming from the forest.
As the round little hands clapped faster and faster, the once quiet mountain forest erupted in excitement, with countless running sounds rushing towards them.
Aside from the various birds, the first to arrive was a leopard. Its elegant and agile figure moved through the bushes, approaching step by step, and stopped two steps away. Its green eyes stared intently at Yuan Yuan, its tail flicking gently behind it for a moment before it lay down.
Seeing this gesture that resembled submission, Shang Wan secretly raised her eyebrows. Yuan Yuan's superpower seemed to be more powerful than she had imagined.
Rabbits, squirrels, snakes, deer, wolves, wild boars, monkeys... Even with Shang Wan's sharp eyesight, she couldn't count how many animals there were. They were densely packed together, arranged in a circle around the two of them.
Herbivores and carnivores live in harmony, and even natural enemies don't take the opportunity to fight to the death. If someone else saw this scene, they might doubt that they were hallucinating.
Yuan Yuan's little hands were still clapping, her eyes gleaming with increasing intensity, but her pink lips were beginning to turn pale—a sign of overuse of her powers. Shang Wan immediately grabbed Yuan Yuan's chubby little hands and kissed her on her fair face. "Good girl, stop clapping."
The gleam in Yuan Yuan's eyes vanished instantly. She opened her mouth and yawned slightly, then snuggled her little head against Shang Wan's chest and fell asleep.
Shang Wan pried open her little mouth and fed her two drops of spiritual spring water. The little one couldn't control her supernatural abilities freely yet, and someone had to be nearby to watch over her when she used them.
The animals, smelling the scent of the sacred spring water, stirred slightly and tentatively approached the two.
With a single glance from Shang Wan, the animals froze, their claws trembling. Those with fur bristled, and those without bristles bristled. A bird that had flown halfway down fell with a "plop" and buried itself in the leaves, pretending to be dead.
In the past, if they encountered someone stronger than themselves, the animals would have scattered and fled long ago. But now, because of Yuanyuan's superpower, they can't even run away.
Shang Wan figured that since they had already summoned the animals, they might as well make use of them, since the fallen trees hadn't been cleared yet.
In the mountains and forests, the animals are like a group of free laborers, working hard to clear the branches and leaves from the tree trunks. Those with teeth use their teeth, those without use their claws, and those without claws find ways to cooperate with other animals and become porters.
When Shang Wan saw the familiar doe, she went over to greet it, which startled the doe so much that it didn't dare to move.
About half an hour later, with the animals' concerted efforts, the fallen trees were transformed into bare logs that could be carried back and used.
Shang Wan was quite satisfied and continued to use the spiritual spring water as payment for the animals. The two parties cooperated happily.
Yuanyuan woke up after sleeping for a short while. Shang Wan gently rubbed her little face and said softly, "Sweetie, let them go back."
"Okay." Yuanyuan was still a little dazed, but whatever her mother said, she agreed immediately.
As soon as she finished speaking, the animals scattered and ran away as if a ban had been lifted.
Shang Wan glanced at the leopard lying motionless at her feet. "Aren't you leaving?"
The leopard then slowly stood up and walked away with elegant cat-like steps, glancing back every few steps.
Shang Wan suddenly remembered another use for her beast-taming ability, and reached out to poke the little guy in her arms, "Sweetie, want to get a leopard pet?"
Yuan Yuan tilted her little head, opened her short arms, and hugged Shang Wan, saying, "Hug."
"It's not about hugging, it's about raising a pet."
"Mommy, hug me." Yuanyuan didn't care about any pets and hugged her mother, Xiangxiang, snuggling up to her.
Shang Wan: "..."
The baby is too young, let's talk about it later.
Shang Wan stored a pile of logs into her spatial storage, only releasing them at the foot of the mountain, easily carrying one home.
Yuanyuan quietly stretched out her little hand to support the wood, helping her mother.
When Shi Tou saw Shang Wan carrying the logs over, he quickly went to meet her and helped her place the logs on the open ground.
"Sister, let Xiaohuan tidy up here. I'll go help you move the wood; the two of us will be faster."
"No rush." Shang Wan pointed to the log on the ground. "Try to move it first."
How heavy can a log be? Shi Tou helped Shang Wan unload the logs just now, and it seemed quite easy for him. He didn't even seem to care about the weight of the logs.
He bent down and hugged the log, and with a little force... he almost strained his back.
Stone lay on the wood, questioning the meaning of life.
