Chapter 101: Knocking on Your Door
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
âThe Venom Cult members can control people through the venomous bugs. If those people are controlled by them and attack us as a group, how much confidence do you have in escaping? If you donât want this to happen, then you take responsibility for sending these medicines into their mouths. No matter what method you use, as long as they have eaten the human flesh in the restaurant, they must eat this medicine.â
...
Tiger Might frowned deeply. âDoes this medicine work on those bugs?â
Su Ying said with a smile, âYes.â
âAlright.â Tiger Might consented in a forthright manner.
âThe faster you get this done, the better. Their stronghold has been destroyed. They might not be able to suppress the hatred in their hearts and could take action at any time.â
âMm-hmm.â
Tiger Might took the medicine and stood up. âTil take my leave now.â
âŠ..
After Su Ying sent Tiger Might off, Xiao Jin said, âWhen did you prepare so much medicine? How come 1 didnât see it?â
Su Ying replied with a straight face, âIâve already prepared it long ago. There are many things you didnât see.â After she finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Jin, grabbed a pancake, and went outside.
After Tiger Might returned to the Tiger Base, he immediately ordered people to make a large quantity of mixed-grain buns. After the buns had been steamed, he got people to grind the medicine into powder and embed it in the buns. Thereafter, he sent his men to distribute the buns. Anyone who had eaten meat in the Dust and Gust Restaurant could get a mixed-grain bun for free.
When those people saw that there was free food, they naturally did not refuse. After all, food was still in very short supply in the Tiger Base, and many people went to collect the buns after receiving the news.
Tiger Might and his men suddenly sent more chickens to Su Ying. The livestock pen they had temporarily placed them in was now too small.
Su Ying didnât have anything else to do that day, so she decided to build a new pen to keep livestock.
As the smell from these creatures was quite strong, she planned to choose a spot in the backyard further away from the main building. This way, no matter which way the wind blew, the stench would not reach the main building.
There was no roof shelter above the livestock pen they had built before, so it would be problematic if it rained.
Su Ying had cut some wooden planks and planned to use them as a temporary roof, but she still needed some straw to cover the roof. Her people didnât have much straw, so they could only use bigger leaves as a substitute.
Su Ying thought for a while and decided to make a trip to the mountain. She left the house while it was still early.
As soon as she left, Wang Furong, who was hiding not far away, walked out. She looked straight in the direction in which Su Ying was heading. After making sure that Su Ying was far away, she turned to look at the wooden building that was barricaded by the very high fence.
She looked around to make sure that no one had seen her. Then, she quickly came to the outside of the wooden building compound and knocked on the courtyard gate.
Lin Zhuyu thought that Su Ying had forgotten to take something and had returned. She ran over excitedly, but before she opened the gate, she suddenly remembered Su Yingâs instructions and carefully checked the situation outside through the peephole.
When she saw that it was Wang Furong who knocked on the door, her face fell instantly.
âWho is it? Go away.â
Wang Furong recognized Lin Zhuyuâs voice and begged, âSister Lin, please open the gate for me. 1 need to see the Master for an urgent matter.â
When she recalled Wang Furongâs shifty behavior on the way here, Lin Zhuyu said disdainfully, â1 was wondering who it was. So itâs you, Wang Furong. Mistress has already said that all of you have been driven away. Donât come here anymore. Get lost quickly.â
Wang Furong didnât want to leave. âSister Lin, please show me some compassion. My father is dying. Please save him.â
âYour family are only strangers to us from now on. Why should we save you? Leave now, or 1â11 open the gate and beat you up!â
Wang Furongâs pleading voice could be heard from outside the gate all this while. Many people in the courtyard heard it, but no one cared.
When those people were with Su Ying, they had food, drinks, and a carriage to sit in. However, they were always against Su Ying and looked down on everything they were given. Now that something had happened to them, they wanted to come back. No way!
Wang Furong knocked on the gate for a long while, but no one answered. She could only leave reluctantly. She didnât dare to come out for too long. If she was found outâŠ
Wang Furong ran quickly all the way back to the house where she was staying. As soon as she entered, she saw the wrinkled old woman looking at her with a sinister expression.
Wang Furong was so scared that all the hair on her body stood up.
âWhere did you go?â
Wang Furong lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, âI thought a chicken escaped⊠so I went after it.â
The old woman gave a strange laugh. âDid you catch it?â
Wang Furong lowered her head even more. âNo⊠noâŠâ
âItâs fine if you didnât catch it, but donât run all over the place anymore. There are bad people outside.â
Wang Furong nodded repeatedly and dashed into the house. As soon as she entered, she saw Wang Lang feeding medicine to Madam Sun without any expression.
Madam Sunâs eyes were still wide open and staring straight ahead, completely unfocused. She was sitting stiffly on the chair. When Wang Furong came in, she turned her neck to look at Wang Furong.
Her rigid movements were like a clockwork doll that had been wound up, and her lifeless eyes were terrifying.
Wang Furong didnât even dare to look into Madam Sunâs eyes. She was so scared that she curled up on the side and didnât dare to move.
Wang Lang turned his face to look at Wang Furong blankly. âWhere did you go?â
âI went⊠went to do some work.â
Wang Langâs face darkened in displeasure. âDonât run around rashly in the future.â
Wang Furong nodded. â1 know. 1 know.â
The old woman turned around and entered the house, only to see a figure sitting in her room.
âThis whole family came here with that woman.â
The old woman sat beside the man and gave a low chuckle. âSo what if they did?â
âGive them to me. 1 have a use for them.â
âHehehe! That wonât do. My son wants to keep them.â
âYou damn old hag! They have caused me to fall into such a sorry state, yet youâre still not helping me?â That personâs voice was chilly and filled with rage.
âSo even you experience failure at times too, Nan Zhong? You still have so many venomous bug soldiers that youâve raised in your hands, havenât you? Whatâs the point of keeping them? And you still insist on me helping you?â
As soon as she finished speaking, a black crow landed outside the door.
Nan Zhong stood up, walked over, and removed the message from the crowâs leg. When he opened and read it, his eyes narrowed abruptly.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âTiger Might suddenly went to see that woman. After he left that womanâs house, Tiger Might suddenly distributed steamed buns to those people.â
The old woman gave a scornful laugh. âWhen did that poverty-stricken boorish man become so generous?â
Nan Zhongâs expression was ominous. âThere must be something wrong. 1 canât wait any longer. Iâm going to tear them into pieces today!â
Achoo!
Su Ying, who was picking leaves on the mountain, suddenly sneezed.
She jumped down from the tree with a big handful of leaves in her arms. She tied the leaves with a hemp rope and put them all into her interspatial store. She also put some wild fruits she had picked in there.
When Su Ying saw that she had collected enough, she made preparations to leave the mountain.
âHelp! Help!â
Su Ying had just turned around when she heard someone calling for help behind her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around to see two men running over from the mountains with terrified expressions.
âThe tiger is eating people. Help!â
Su Yingâs almond-shaped eyes lit up.. A tiger!
