“We do need to dig more.” The patriarch nodded in agreement.

After a few polite exchanges, Zhou Ying went home. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After entering the interspace that night, Gu Chengrui was shocked to see two wolves. He quickly turned his head and asked, “Did you encounter wolves on the mountain today?”

“Yup, fortunately, they were just two wolves that were alone. After killing them, we left the mountain.” Zhou Ying looked at him with a dry smile.

Gu Chengrui’s heart softened when he saw her fawning eyes, but he still said with lingering fear, “From today on, you’re not allowed to go up the mountain anymore. If you’re free, go to the mountains in your interspace and collect the herbs you need.”

“I know. I definitely won’t go there anytime soon.” Zhou Ying nodded.

“You’re not allowed to brush me off, or I’ll eat durians in front of you daily.”

Zhou Ying’s face scrunched when she heard that. The things she hated the most in her life were durians and stinky tofu; she couldn’t even smell them.

If Gu Chengrui didn’t like these things, she wouldn’t keep them in her interspace. Of course, she wasn’t afraid if they were only in the warehouse.

After all, he was the only one who could take the items out of the warehouse.

The worst thing was that he had even planted a few durian trees in her interspace, and she didn’t expect him to turn around and disgust her with this.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Gu Chengrui looked at her provocatively and said, “I mean what I say. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

After speaking, he turned around and took out a knife to skin the two wolves. He hung the skins on the second floor of the villa.

As for the meat, he cut it into pieces, stacked it up, and put it in a big bucket to cook.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying turned around and went to the mountain. The fruits on the mountain had ripened, and she had to quickly pick them up to store them in the warehouse, or else they would be wasted.

The next day, the patrol team, which usually patrolled at night, began to patrol during the day. Zhou Ying didn’t dare go up the mountain again, so she only went to the manor with Er Zhuang.

Chang Shun, busy pruning the white sweet potato vines in the field, saw her coming and immediately greeted her, “Mistress, what are you doing here?”

“Nothing much. I had nothing to do at home, so I came over to take a look.” Zhou Ying asked, “How are Qian Zhuang and the children? How are they? Did they cause you any trouble?”

“No, they’re all fine, and they’re all very diligent. They’re now living in the courtyard and taking care of themselves, or rather, they don’t need to be taken care of at all.” At this point, Chang Shun paused and said, “It’s just that they ate a little too much. I’m afraid the grain in the village can’t support their consumption.”

“Oh, you are lacking in food? I’ll discuss it with Uncle Nian later. We can kill a cow or sheep every three to five days.”

“I’ll thank you on behalf of everyone. My stomach can’t take it anymore after not seeing meat for half a month.” Chang Shun immediately laughed when he heard that.

“Alright, I’ll go over and take a look.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she exchanged a few polite words with Manager Liu, then turned around and walked toward the farm.

She first walked around the place and saw that the cattle and sheep were doing well. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, after asking around, she found Uncle Nian at the foot of a mountain, setting up traps with his men. Zhou Ying was stunned when she saw that the nearly two-meter-wide trench was full of sharpened bamboo skewers. “Uncle, are you guarding against wolves?”

“That’s right, who would have thought that wolves would appear again? We have to set up these traps, or it will be too late when the wolves really come.” At this point, the old man paused and recalled, “I remember when I was young, there was a year when thirty wolves came to the village. In just a short while, they bit 300 sheep to death.”

“I see. You really have to guard against it well, then. I’ll bring some pepper and mustard over later. Wolves and their sharp noses are most afraid of these things..”
