Chapter 404 50 Little Girls (1)
After being examined by the barefoot doctor, it was said that her grandfather had already passed away.
Wangyou was stunned. How could her grandfather, who had taken care of her since childhood, be gone just because she went to catch a fish?
"Wangyou, your grandfather died to save Dazhu. From now on, Dazhu's family will take care of you, and everyone in our village will take care of you."
"Why wasn't it him who died!" Wangyou said coldly to the village chief.
The village chief remained silent, saying that life and death were predestined, and wealth and honor were determined by fate; he couldn't say anything about it.
"Don't worry, Uncle Genzi saved my son, he's a great benefactor to my whole family. Don't worry, as long as we have food to eat, we'll never let you go hungry," Aunt Caihua said, crying.
"That's right, Wangyou, we've already thought it through. We'll arrange for you to get engaged to Dazhu, so it'll be easier to take care of you that way."
"Get out of here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to." Wangyou said coldly, kicking Dazhu and his family out.
The village chief sighed and called on the villagers to help Wangyou bury her grandfather.
Wangyou's parents were both soldiers. They had her in a hurry and handed her over to her grandfather. After that, they never heard from her again. Over the years, she never saw anyone send her any messages, but Wangyou didn't care.
But now, Wangyou's only relative, her grandfather, is gone, and Wangyou has become an orphan in Liujiatun. An orphan guarding a large courtyard is bound to attract the covetous eyes of others.
After repeated persuasion from the village chief and village party secretary, and also to deter those who wanted to take advantage of Wangyou and exploit her family, it was the best outcome for Wangyou to get engaged to Liu Dazhu. After all, Wangyou's grandfather had saved Liu Dazhu's life, so he wouldn't treat her badly.
Under multiple pressures, what could Wangyou, a five-year-old girl, do but agree?
“I can get engaged to Liu Dazhu, but I want to live in my own home, and no one else can live in my home, nor will I live in Liu Dazhu’s home.”
"But it's really inconvenient for a girl like you to live alone."
"Then there's no engagement. Anyone who dares to come and take advantage of a childless family should be prepared to be poisoned by me. My yard is full of poisons, and there are no antidotes for many of them." The little girl spoke harsh words that were completely out of character for her.
"Village chief, we're engaged to Wangyou, how can we move in here!" A ruthless glint flashed in Aunt Caihua's eyes. She didn't believe that they couldn't move in eventually; she was just a little girl.
Although Wangyou is precocious, she is only five years old now. Seeing what Aunt Caihua said, she agreed.
Wangyou always knew that the world was not peaceful. Not to mention her parents who had disappeared without a trace, the village was in chaos. People might start fighting over a little bit of food.
After everyone left, Wangyou closed the door and began to take stock of her grandfather's belongings.
Actually, there wasn't much. The only special thing was a piece of black jade pendant with the image of Manjusaka flowers engraved on it. Grandpa said that Wangyou held it in her hand when she was born. Over the years, Wangyou hadn't noticed anything different about the pendant.
But for some reason, Wangyou's finger was cut, and blood dripped onto the jade pendant. Wangyou quickly sensed a very large space, and there were many food and clothes inside.
Before long, the jade pendant disappeared from Wangyou's hand, but a black red spider lily appeared on her wrist, looking mysterious, noble, and dangerous.
Having obtained the treasure, Wangyou put away all the valuables in her house, especially the boxes of medical books.
After that, Wangyou studied medical books even more diligently, and of course, she went up the mountain to collect herbs more and more often. The number of herbs in the yard also increased. Based on the records in the medical books, Wangyou used these herbs to make some basic medicines, and turned the rest into poisons.
Before each trip up the mountain, Wangyou would run around her house for several days before returning.
This meant that those who wanted to take advantage of the situation always left empty-handed, and Liu Dazhu's family, who wanted to move into Wangyou's house, were even more frequent visitors, but they were lucky to encounter Wangyou even once in ten visits.
Although Wangyou was engaged to Liu Dazhu, she was not close to Liu Dazhu's family. In Wangyou's eyes, Liu Dazhu was the murderer who killed her grandfather. The fact that she didn't send them a packet of poison was because she was kind-hearted.
The village chief later told Wangyou that her grandfather's dying wish was for her to get engaged, which was the main reason she agreed. As for marriage, that was still a long way off.
Although the enemies here have been driven away, many problems remain, and there are still many enemies lurking in the shadows, so things are far from peaceful.
However, none of this has anything to do with the little child Wangyou.
"Is what they told us to find really around here? We've been looking for ages!" came an impatient voice from the bushes.
"It's in this area. Let's look carefully again. We're sure we can find it."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wangyou guessed that they were the villains the adults were talking about.
Wangyou glanced at her small frame and decided not to follow her anymore. She was strong, but if she faced two professional villains, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
After Wangyou descended the mountain, she found the village chief.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I found two people on the mountain. They said they were looking for some treasure. Are these two bad guys?"
"Where did we meet? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I ran into them while I was gathering herbs. But don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, they didn't find me."
"Alright, I'll leave this to Grandpa Village Chief. Try not to go up the mountain recently."
"Okay, I understand." Wangyou obediently agreed and then went home.
Liu Dazhu, who was waiting at the door, saw Wangyou approaching with a basket on her back and looked impatient. "My mother made some flatbread for you."
"I don't want it, you can take it back!" Wangyou ignored Liu Dazhu, walked around him, and closed the door directly, which made Liu Dazhu so angry that he took a big bite of the pancake in his hand.
Afterwards, Wangyou continued to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but she was more careful. Moreover, she kept the treasures the two people mentioned in her heart, so she would look for them intentionally or unintentionally when she went up the mountain.
Then one day, while Wangyou was gathering herbs, she heard several gunshots. After that, life in the village returned to peace.
Wangyou guessed that the two bad guys were either dead or captured, but she encountered more of her own people on the mountain. Wangyou guessed they were also looking for treasure to prevent the enemy from taking it.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wangyou has grown from a little girl into a nine-year-old young lady.
That year, exciting news arrived: the war was finally over.
Wangyou doesn't know about other places, but their village is more lively than during the New Year, but Wangyou's house remains as quiet as ever.
It's almost October, and the mountain produce has all ripened. Wangyou has been busy preparing mountain produce for herself to get through the winter.
