She's skilled in medicine, martial arts, and even understands animal language—the abandoned dau

At first, Lanxiang thought it was given to her by the villagers out of pity, but then one day, Shen Man brought back a bloody rabbit from outside, which made Lanxiang suspicious.

"Little girl, tell your mother quickly, where did you get this rabbit?" Lanxiang stared at the rabbit in her hand and asked in surprise.

"It was Xiao Liu who gave it to me!" Shen Man answered truthfully.

"Xiao Liu? Which Xiao Liu?" Lanxiang carefully recalled everyone in the village, but couldn't remember anyone named Xiao Liu.

"Little Tiger Six, Mom, when it comes again next time, I'll take you to see it! Mom, also, Little Tiger Six said my name isn't nice, so I'm changing it. From now on, you can call me Man'er!"

"Man'er is indeed a better name than Xiaoya. Alright, then from now on, I'll call you Man'er!"

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Lanxiang let her play in the yard while she went to tidy up the rabbit.

Three days later, when Lanxiang took Shenman to the river to wash clothes, she finally met Hu Xiaoliu, the man Shenman had mentioned, and was almost scared to death.

The tiger Xiao Liu in front of them was clearly a tiger. It was huge, with sharp eyes, and stood majestically on the riverbank, staring at them.

Startled, Lanxiang immediately picked up Shen Man and ran away.

Halfway through the run, she suddenly heard a roar behind her. When she turned around, she found that Hu Xiaoliu had not chased after them, but was standing still, looking in the direction they had gone.

Lanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least she hadn't been caught.

However, she felt a strange unease welling up inside her.

From that day on, Lanxiang never let Shenman go out to play alone again, and she always kept an eye on the surroundings.

However, a few days later, one evening when Lanxiang returned home after finishing her farm work, she found that Shen Man was nowhere to be found.

She was extremely worried and immediately went out to look for her. After a long time, she found her at the foot of the mountain at the village entrance. There she saw her standing face to face with Hu Xiaoliu, talking.

"Xiao Liu, don't come looking for me next time. My mother is afraid of you!" Shen Man said to Hu Xiao Liu.

Tiger Six howled twice in dissatisfaction, "But I want to play with you!"

"When I'm a little older, I'll come to the mountain to play with you again. The people living in this village are all ordinary people. They'll be afraid of you, and they might do something to hurt you because of that fear!"

Hearing her daughter's words, Lanxiang felt a little relieved. She mustered her courage, stepped forward, took Shen Man's hand, and said softly, "Man'er, let's go home."

Seeing this, Tiger Xiao Liu followed behind them reluctantly. Lan Xiang felt a little helpless; this tiger seemed to be very dependent on Shen Man.

After returning home, Lanxiang decided to have a good talk with Shen Man.

"Man'er, do you know that tigers are ferocious beasts that can eat people!"

“Mother, do you know, it was Tiger Six’s mother who sent me to Xiaoyao Village. They not only didn’t eat me, they also saved me!” Shen Man said.

Lanxiang was shocked to hear this.

"Man'er, are you... are you human or a demon?"

"Mother, of course I am human. I just have a better memory than others."

"Since you remember things from the past, do you remember who your parents and family members are?"

Lanxiang was very nervous when she asked Shen Man these questions.

Over the past two years, she had grown accustomed to Shen Man's companionship and did not want anyone to take her away from her.

"I don't know! But I do know that they abandoned me on purpose because they looked down on me because I was a girl."

"Sigh..." Lanxiang sighed and gently patted Shen Man's head. "You've really suffered, child. But thankfully you're safe and sound now. From now on, this is your home, and I'll be your mother."

Shen Man looked up at Lanxiang, tears of gratitude glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Mother! When I grow up, I will definitely take good care of you."

"Good child! By the way, Man'er, there's something I've always wanted to ask you: how did you understand what Tiger Six was saying?"

"Mom, I don't know either. Not only can I understand what Xiao Liu is saying, but I can also understand what the birds in the sky, the fish in the river, and the dogs in the village are saying!"

"W-what?"

"Mother, those wild duck eggs I brought back before were given to me by the wild ducks in the river!"

"Man'er, are you... are you human or demon?" Lanxiang asked in shock once again.

"Mother, I am truly human, just with a few more abilities than ordinary people. Mother, please don't tell anyone about this, lest they become afraid of me!"

Looking at her plump and adorable daughter, Lanxiang could hardly believe that she could understand animal language.

"Okay, Mother promises you. But don't let that Tiger Little Six come to the village next time, the villagers will beat it to death out of fear."

"I see!"

However, as Shen Man grew older, her special ability became more and more obvious.

Whenever she goes out, small groups of animals will follow her.

When the villagers saw this, they started pointing and gossiping about her, calling her a monster and telling their children to stay away from her.

That day, Shen Man brought some food home as usual, but was attacked by a group of children. Shen Man initially didn't want to pay attention to them, but they became increasingly aggressive and even threw stones at her.

Shen Man was furious and immediately said to a flock of birds flying overhead, "Birds, come down and peck at them!"

The children burst into laughter as soon as they heard her say that, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

However, their laughter soon faded.

Upon receiving her command, the birds immediately swooped down towards the children, pecking incessantly at their exposed skin.

The children were so frightened that they cried loudly and scattered in all directions.

Looking at their disheveled appearance, Shen Man felt incredibly pleased, even though she felt it was unfair to bully the weak.

She turned around and continued walking back, but heard a voice behind her: "Monster! You wait, I'm going back to tell my parents!"

Shen Man stopped and looked back, sighing helplessly. She knew she was likely to get a scolding this time.

Sure enough, around dusk, someone came to inform the mother and daughter that the village head wanted them to come over.

Upon hearing that it was the village head who was looking for them, Lanxiang dared not delay and immediately brought Shen Man to the village head's house.

Meanwhile, the village head's courtyard was already crowded with villagers who had come to file a complaint.

"You monster, how dare you bully my child! I'll teach you a lesson today!" A man rushed over to Shen Man and said to her menacingly.

Lanxiang didn't know what had happened, but seeing the man yelling at Shen Man, she quickly shielded Shen Man behind her and stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Let's talk this out. It's normal for kids to have some minor disagreements while playing..."

"Normal? Look how badly my child is injured!" The woman interrupted Lanxiang, looking at her child with heartache.

"Lanxiang, how do you discipline your child? He's already so young and already behaving badly. What will he be like when he grows up!" Another woman also stood up and criticized Lanxiang.

"Village head, Lanxiang was never from our Xiaoyao Village to begin with, and now she's raised such a strange daughter. Why don't we just kick them out of our village!"

"That's right, drive them out of Xiaoyao Village!"

"All you do is complain, but can you tell the whole story from beginning to end?" Shen Man was small in stature, but she was not intimidated at all, and her eyes swept over the group of children one by one.

Seeing this, the village head cleared his throat and said, "Man'er, no matter what they did wrong, you can't have them incite birds and beasts to hurt them. You have to give everyone an explanation for this."

Shen Man raised her head, looked directly into the village head's eyes, and said firmly, "They bullied me first, and they even called me a monster!"

Then, she recounted the whole story in detail.

The village head was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Shen Man. "Regardless, your special ability has indeed caused panic among everyone. Here's what we'll do: try to go out less in the future to avoid similar incidents from happening again."

Although Shen Man felt dissatisfied, she still nodded. She knew that in this isolated little village, people were always filled with fear and rejection of the unknown.

She decided to be patient for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to leave and find her own place in the world.

However, when Shen Man was three years old, a sudden change not only altered the villagers' perception of her, but also made her a lucky baby praised by everyone in the village.
