Chapter 430 The Flower of Barrenness (5)
Seeing that the weather was nice outside, Wangyou decided to go out for a stroll and stretch her muscles.
"Wangyou, have you gone out? Are you feeling any better?"
"much better."
When they meet people on the street, Wangyou will greet them briefly. In addition, since their family has produced a child who has passed the imperial examination at the age of eight, no matter how much people complain behind their backs, they will always greet them with a smile.
Even when Wangyou went out, far fewer people heard people talking about him as a sickly person. And no one thought that Wangyou, a sickly person, was the reason for the changes in Tian Laosan's family over the years.
"Forget-Me-Not Sister".
"Big Sister Ya, Second Sister Ya, Third Sister Ya, are you going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables?"
"Yes, why are you out today?"
"The weather is nice, let's go for a walk."
"Then be careful, don't go deep into the mountains," Daya instructed, before taking her two younger sisters to gather pig feed and dig for wild vegetables.
Wangyou felt that Da Ya had become a different person since she woke up from the water. She was much more organized in her speech and actions, and she was also more willing to resist. Although the second branch of the family had not yet broken away from the Shen family, it seemed that it would soon.
However, the changes in others had nothing to do with her. Wangyou walked slowly down the mountain, but she was not taking the same path as them.
Wangyou didn't go very far. She casually picked a foxtail grass and played with it in her hand. Before she knew it, she had gone a little deeper.
Suddenly, Wangyou heard a whimpering sound. Driven by curiosity, she went to investigate and found a wolf in a cave that looked like it had been dead for a long time. The whimpering sound was coming from the cubs lying on its belly.
What surprised Wangyou even more was that there was another person in the cave. Wangyou glanced at him and saw that the person was decent-looking, but the cloth he was wearing was stained with blood. The wounds on the person's body looked like they had been cut by knives or swords, but there were no signs of fighting with wolves.
Wangyou guessed that the wolf was already dead when this person escaped here. As for this person, he seemed to still be breathing, but that had nothing to do with her.
Wangyou carefully walked around the man and picked up the white wolf cub.
"From now on, you'll stay with me. But I'm not well, and I won't be able to bury your mother." Wangyou whispered in the wolf cub's ear.
Perhaps sensing a sense of security, the wolf cub stopped whimpering, but its head was bobbing up and down, probably because it was hungry.
"I'll take you home!" Wangyou hugged the wolf cub and left the cave without looking back. Before leaving, she cleaned up the traces of her visit and headed down the mountain.
"My dear child, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, your mother would have gone looking for you."
"Mom, I'm a big kid now. Oh, by the way, I found a wolf cub on the mountain. Could you feed it for me?"
"Oh, okay... What, you picked up a wolf cub?"
"Well, it must have been born only a few days ago. I guess it was driven out by the wolves because of its snow-white fur." Wangyou told a little lie without changing her expression.
"It's a pitiful dog, so let's keep it!" Seeing how happy her daughter was, Mrs. Song didn't say anything to spoil the mood. She figured she might as well keep her daughter company and keep her entertained.
It has to be said that Tian Laosan and his wife have become much bolder over the years. If it were a few years ago, raising wolves would have been a nightmare.
“My mother has agreed to take you in. From now on, you’ll be called Snow White!” Wangyou said, poking the little wolf from Sweet Milk.
This milk was specially purchased from a cow at a high price by the Song family and Tian Laosan to help Wangyou improve her health.
Unbeknownst to Wangyou, not long after she left the cave, Tian Daya ran into it, found the injured man, and kindly bandaged his wounds.
They then discovered the dead mother wolf, took the machete they had brought from home, skinned it, and processed some of the wolf meat.
"Did you save me?" The man woke up to find Tian Daya busy at work.
"Young master, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"My whole body aches."
"Young master, you are covered in wounds. I have already stopped the bleeding for you, but the wounds have not healed yet, so it must hurt. It's getting late, so I've left your dinner here. I'm leaving now." Tian Daya said and quickly ran off.
On the way, Tian Daya patted her heart, which was about to leap out of her chest. The man she had saved was really handsome, but she forgot to ask his name.
Tian Daya vowed that she would definitely ask her name when she went up the mountain tomorrow.
After that, Tian Daya would go up the mountain whenever she had free time, and the man inexplicably suffered amnesia.
When Da Ya thought about finding a husband for her parents, she simply pulled this man aside and suggested that he marry into the family so that he could carry on the Tian family line.
Upon hearing about carrying on the family line, Tian Lao Er agreed without hesitation. Thus, A Yuan, who suffered from amnesia, became Tian Lao Er's son-in-law.
A Yuan was very dependent on Daya, who had saved him, and he had no complaints when Daya asked him to become her son-in-law.
Therefore, the Tian family held a banquet, but the banquet wasn't very attractive.
On the day of the wedding banquet, Wangyou did not go, as she has never liked crowded places. Song Shi, on the other hand, went and came back sighing.
"Mother, what's wrong? You've been sighing ever since you got back."
“I’m afraid that son-in-law of Da Ya’s is not an ordinary person. His background is unknown, and I’m afraid he might cause some trouble!” Song said worriedly.
"Mom, why worry so much? It has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we should move soon after Dad and Aye come back."
"How can you just abandon someone like that? I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the whole village. Da Ya is really something, why does she take just anyone into her home? She says she has amnesia, but who really knows!" Over the years, Song Shi's horizons have broadened a lot through reading, and since she also lives with the villagers day and night, it's normal for her to be worried.
“Mother, no matter what his purpose is, he wouldn’t be ungrateful, would he? If he were ungrateful and committed arson and murder, then we wouldn’t be able to stop him.”
While saying this, Wangyou was actually thinking about the possibility of such a person being grateful and thought that it wouldn't hurt to go and see him another day.
"That's what Mother is worried about!"
"Mother, instead of worrying about that, you should worry about when Father and A-Ye will come back."
“That’s right. If we count the time, your father and A-Ye will be back in another half month. I wonder if A-Ye has passed the imperial examination.” Once her attention shifted, Madam Song began to worry about whether he had passed the examination.
Wangyou stroked Baixue and poured a bowl of milk for herself and Baixue.
Bai Xue has grown quite a bit these days and is very attached to Wang You.
The prefectural city.
On the day the results were announced, Tian Zhuang and Tian Ye were restless. Although they were usually calm, they were still young and nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay if you don't pass the exam. Didn't you see those people with gray beards taking the exam? You two are still young, don't worry." Old Tian reassured them, remaining very calm.
