Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xie Zhou didn’t seem to care about the rumors.
During the day, Xie Zhou went out to hunt while Xie Chaochao stayed in the old house alone.
Li Cuihua and the other women who were also gossips had long wanted to see how the girl Xie Zhou had picked up looked like.
He always treated her like a treasure.
On this day, Xie Zhou went hunting in the mountains as usual. Li Cuihua and the rest went to the old house at the end of the village.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard a sound made by a child.
The women were a little afraid.
Li Cuihua urged, “It’s fine, there’s only one baby girl in here, nothing else!”
A woman pushed the door open. When she saw the situation of the pit clearly, her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.
When the people behind saw the situation inside, they were all shocked.
A thick carpet covered the pit. A baby girl sat on it. A small fox laid beside her and a tiger cub was across her.
The girl and the tiger were fighting over something. It was like a tug of war.
It was a snake with flower patterns.
On the side, there laid an adult tiger.
Hearing the commotion, the adult tiger stood up.
The girl who was sitting on the carpet suddenly loosened her grip.
The tiger cub that was fighting for the small flower snake fell backwards.
The small flower snake also broke free and crawled onto the girl’s body. It wrapped around her neck.
This scene frightened the women.
How was this a child? She was clearly a monster!
Two more timid ones passed out and fell directly on top of the first woman who fainted.
There were also some who turned around and ran, without caring about their companions.
Xie Chaochao removed the small flower snake from her neck and fiddled with it.
After a while, she crawled next to the small tiger and hugged it to sleep.
When Xie Zhou returned, he saw the three women lying at the entrance.
His expression turned cold.
He quickly walked toward the entrance and saw that Xie Chaochao and the small tiger were sleeping soundly inside. Only then did he stop walking.
He looked down at the women blocking his way.
Xie Zhou woke them up with a hunting stick.
When they saw Xie Zhou and saw the situation in the courtyard, the women ran off without a word.
Xie Zhou walked in and carried the sleeping girl into the house.
Looking at the drooling Xie Chaochao, Xie Zhou wiped her mouth with a smile.
In less than two days, the villagers discovered that the dilapidated house at the end of the village was surrounded by a courtyard wall. The old gate had also been replaced with a new one.
Li Cuihua and the rest did not look happy.
“Is he guarding against us?”
“That’s right. Is he afraid that we will run away with his strange daughter?”
A few women gathered again and started discussing.
There were rumors going around in the village that the father-daughter pair that lived at the end of the village were all weird people.
She was always with animals, surrounded by tigers and snakes.
The villagers all stayed far away from them.
Xie Zhou also did not care.
Sun Chengfu had fulfilled his promise to Xie Zhou by giving him the mountain and land.
However, the land was not suitable for farming at all.
That piece of land was not far from their old house and was close to the mountains. It was full of sand and it was not easy to farm.
Sun Chengfu even claimed that it was for the good of Xie Zhou. It was close to where they lived so that Xie Zhou could conveniently take care of Xie Chaochao.
Xie Zhou didn’t say anything and gladly accepted it.
Before long, the villagers discovered that Xie Zhou had resumed his old profession.
He drove the transporter.
The land he was given was filled with sand. He could sell the sand for money.
Seeing this, Sun Chengfu started to regret giving this piece of land to Xie Zhou.
Why didn’t he think of selling the sand for money!
Now that everyone in the village knew about it, it would be difficult for him to ask for the land back.
