139 Envy! Jealousy! And Hate

“By the way, I have to emphasize again. Don’t come into the village to look for me or give me prey. You guys can really get into trouble easily. Don’t underestimate humans.”

The black wolf king’s eyes revealed a contemplative look, which made Mo Ruyue click her tongue in wonder. She actually saw a wolf in deep thought!

Other than not being able to speak, what was the difference between it and a human?

Oh, right, humans could make tools, but wolves couldn’t. If they could even make tools, then one day in the future, they would suddenly speak. Mo Ruyue didn’t think that she would be very surprised.

Just as Mo Ruyue was also thinking of a way, the black wolf king suddenly howled a few times at the giant wolf beside it. The wolf immediately turned around and ran away, as if it had gone back to get something.

Seeing this, Mo Ruyue was not in a hurry to leave. She sat by the cart and waited patiently.

Since there were other giant wolves keeping watch in the surroundings, she wasn’t afraid of letting others see such a ‘horrifying’ scene.

The giant wolf that had left quickly returned. This time, it brought back something that looked like a bone flute.

Rather than a flute, it was more like a bone whistle, because the length of that thing was only about the length of a canine tooth of a giant wolf.

The giant wolf walked to Mo Ruyue’s side and spat the thing in its mouth into her palm.

Although the thing was covered in the giant wolf’s saliva, Mo Ruyue still calmly picked a few leaves, wiped the saliva clean, and observed it carefully.

It was obvious that the bone whistle was made of bones, and it was made from the bones of a human finger.

Mo Ruyue guessed that these giant wolves might have been raised by someone a long time ago, so they knew to find help when they were sick and couldn’t save themselves.

That bone whistle should have been a tool used by the unknown owner to summon the wolf pack. She didn’t know how long it had been, but she had accidentally saved the sick wolf in the wolf pack and had the chance to get this bone whistle.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So I can use this to summon you, right?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t want to try to blow the bone whistle now. Even if she had wiped it with a leaf, she couldn’t open her mouth when she thought of the wolf’s saliva on it.

Therefore, she changed to a compromise and directly raised the bone whistle to ask the black wolf king.

Unsurprisingly, she saw the black wolf king nod in response.

“Okay, in the future, when I go hunting in the mountains and need your help, I’ll blow the bone whistle to summon you. If I don’t summon you, don’t go out of the mountains, do you understand?”

“If you need my help, come here and leave your scratch marks on the tree bark. I’ll know that you need me when I see them.”

Mo Ruyue thought for a moment and said, “I’ll come to take a look every morning. I have to go to the city once every three days, so I won’t come early in the morning. But in the days to come, I’ll come unless there’s a storm. This is my promise to you.”

After she finished speaking, she saw the black wolf king walk forward and gently lick the back of her hand. Then, a few other giant wolves came over and licked the back of her hand as well.

It was like some kind of ritual was being carried out. The solemn feeling inexplicably made Mo Ruyue feel like it was a very solemn ritual.

After all the wolves had licked the back of Mo Ruyue’s hand, the black wolf king let out a low howl and led the wolf pack into the depths of the mountain forest quickly and silently. They soon disappeared into the dense forest.

Mo Ruyue looked at the place where the wolf pack had left for a while, then turned around and pushed the cart down the mountain.

It was so noisy. They were only separated by a forest, but why did it feel so noisy and chaotic around them?

Mo Ruyue had spent too much time in that valley. Now that she had come down from the back mountain, it was just about time for lunch.

The villagers were already used to seeing her pushing a cart full of prey down the mountain. However, there were still people who said to Mo Ruyue in an envious tone, “Lady Qin, you can catch so much prey every time you enter the mountain, can you teach us?”

Mo Ruyue was in a good mood. She had originally wanted to teach them a few tricks, but she didn’t expect that someone would immediately say in a strange tone, “She’s very capable. She’s a godly doctor and a godly hunter. She’s godly in everything she does.”

“Yes, when we asked her to help us see the illness, look at her arrogance, saying that her medical skills are not high. Now, isn’t she in the city’s Huichun Hall? It’s because she thinks we’re poor, and now you want her to teach you how to hunt for nothing? Stop daydreaming.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t like to hear this.

She didn’t want to save people back then because she was afraid of trouble. Now that she could make money and avoid trouble, who would go against money?

Of course, she wouldn’t waste her breath explaining this to the villagers. However, she chose to immediately refute those who had mocked her.

“You’re right, I’m just that capable, what should I do? To be able to catch the eye of the old imperial doctor in the palace, and have him personally come to beg me to come out of the mountain to save people. Every time we enter the mountain, we can catch large prey and earn a lot.”

“And other than having a mouth and saying some sarcastic words, what else do some people know? Oh, right, how could I have forgotten that those people would still watch me make money with envy and jealousy!”

Mo Ruyue’s mouth was unforgiving, especially when what she said was an iron-clad fact. It was not like she was just bullshitting, so people could not even refute her.

The few people who were making sarcastic remarks were so angry that they trembled all over, but they could not do anything to her. Not only could they not talk to her, but they could not even beat her. After all, a woman who could go into the mountains alone and hunt a giant tiger back, that kind of fierceness was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

Seeing that they couldn’t gain any advantage from Mo Ruyue, they each snorted coldly and walked away resentfully.

The villager who had greeted Mo Ruyue first and wanted to ask for some advice also felt a little embarrassed. If he had not spoken out of turn, he was afraid that he would not have caused her this trouble.

“I’m sorry, Lady Qin. I didn’t expect them to say that. I didn’t mean to embarrass you. Please don’t misunderstand.”

The villager hurriedly explained to Mo Ruyue, “However, there are only a few people like you in the village… There’s been some misunderstanding, and I’m too embarrassed to tell you this now. I just can’t let it go.”

Mo Ruyue nodded to the villager and said, “I don’t blame you. After all, you just want to ask for some advice and not find trouble with me.”

After she finished speaking, she pushed the cart and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of the villager’s sad expression.

“Actually, I only know how to set up some traps when I hunt. Besides, I also know some martial arts, so I’m more sensitive to danger and nimbler than the average person when I dodge.”

“The most important thing is to be patient and observe the traces left behind by the wild beasts. Then, you will know how to find them and how to subdue them.”
