Chapter 4 The heroine spares her life
When Shang Wan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She went to the kitchen, took two large steamed buns, slung the basket that Shi Tou had borrowed the night before over her shoulder, called out to the house, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Young Madam!" Xiao Huan stood at the door, holding Yuan Yuan, looking around anxiously and stamping her feet.

She chased after the sound, but where did the person go? Even a monkey couldn't move that fast!

Several times faster than a monkey, Shang Wan stretched and yawned in the lush forest, carrying an empty basket on one shoulder, and took a deep breath of fresh, unpolluted air.

She loves this world without zombies or mutated beasts!
As the saying goes, "those who live near the mountains live off the mountains," Shang Wan set herself a small goal: to fill her basket with prey before returning home.

Listening intently to the sounds and noises in the mountains and forests, Shang Wan strolled leisurely.

Spring is the season when all things revive, but unfortunately, those patches of delicious wild vegetables looked almost identical to the weeds next to them to Shang Wan, and she couldn't tell them apart at all.

As someone from a post-apocalyptic world, where would she have ever seen wild vegetables before?

She could recognize mushrooms, but she didn't know which were poisonous and which weren't. If she picked poisonous mushrooms, her current spiritual spring water wouldn't be enough to neutralize them.

This has caused great harm to the animals in the mountains and forests.

Pheasants, rabbits, wild boars... As long as Shang Wan finds them, no matter how cute or adorable they are, they are all meat. She will clean them up without hesitation and kill them all, then put them into the small wooden house in her space for safekeeping.

Time stands still in the cabin, so there's no need to worry about food spoiling. It's just a bit small now, only two square meters in area.

Actually, compared to yesterday, the cabin's area has increased by one square meter, and the spiritual spring water has increased to about ten drops, but it still doesn't even reach the level of a level one superpower in the apocalypse.

But since there are no mutated viruses in this world, Shang Wan isn't in a hurry to upgrade her superpowers.

There was also a small river in the valley. Shang Wan sneaked into the reeds and took the wild ducks and their nest of eggs. He also caught two fish from the river, threaded them with vines, and put them in his basket.

Just as we were about to leave, a pregnant doe suddenly ran out of the bushes in a panic.

Shang Wan's eyes lit up, then she noticed the doe's round belly and sighed softly, "It's so good that she's given birth."

Only after giving birth will they produce milk, so we can catch them to produce milk for Yuanyuan to drink.

But raising deer shouldn't be too difficult, right? How about we take them back and raise them until the female deer gives birth?
Shang Wan was struggling with her decision when she looked up and met the gaze of a pair of round, greenish beast eyes.

The leopard, chasing its prey, abruptly halted its elegant and captivating cat-like gait.

"Good morning~" Shang Wan raised her hand in a friendly greeting, grinning to reveal a set of bright white teeth.

Sensing danger, the leopard bristled and turned to run, disappearing into the jungle in the blink of an eye. It didn't even bother with the prey it had been chasing for so long.

"Am I that scary?" Shang Wan scratched her head and looked at the doe not far away, who seemed to be stunned and stood motionless.

She moved swiftly and appeared in front of the doe. Before the doe could flee in panic, she reached out and pinned it down. Her eyes were full of fierce light, but her tone was gentle and persuasive.

“I just saved your life. I’ve reserved the deer milk for my baby. I’ll come find you in two months after you give birth to your fawn.”

After saying that, he let go of the doe without waiting to see if she understood.

The doe didn't stop for a second, and ran off at full speed.

"What else should I grab and take back?" Shang Wan looked around, deliberately widening her hearing range. Suddenly, her face darkened, and she grabbed the basket on the ground, rushing home as fast as she could. "Let go of me!" Xiao Huan struggled fiercely, her face flushed, but the two large hands gripping her were like iron clamps, impossible to break free from.

"You've got some strength." The bearded man pinched her hard, making Xiao Huan's face turn pale with pain.

"Young lady, I advise you to be sensible. This delicate baby can't withstand being dropped." The short man standing opposite him held the swaddled baby above his head with one hand, his threat obvious.

Yuanyuan seemed frightened and started crying loudly, occasionally calling out "Mother" a couple of times.

Xiao Huan's eyes reddened with heartache as she stared at the swaddled baby and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't touch the child. Do you want money or food? I'll give you everything."

"We want the money, and we want the girl too." The bearded man leaned close to Xiao Huan's fair neck with ill intent, taking a light sniff. "Little lady, if you keep us company and have some fun, I'll give the child back to you. Otherwise..."

He winked at the shorter man, who pretended to throw the swaddled baby to the ground. Little Huan was terrified and cried out, "I promise, give me back my child!"

"Don't rush, young lady, come inside with your brother first." The bearded man grabbed Xiao Huan and dragged her toward the west wing. The short man and the skinny man next to him chuckled and egged her on, their malicious eyes constantly scanning Xiao Huan.

Once the boss is done, it will be their turn.

Xiao Huan was no match for the bearded man's strength. Her round cries grew louder and louder. In her desperation, she stomped hard on the bearded man's foot.

The bearded man loosened his grip in pain, and Xiao Huan took the opportunity to escape, but the bearded man caught up with her in two steps, grabbed her, and slapped her hard across the face.

"Smelly bitch!"

Xiao Huan was slapped to the ground, her originally fair cheeks instantly swollen and red, her ears were ringing, and her vision went black. She couldn't even get up.

"You're asking for it! I'll take care of you right now!"

As the bearded man spoke, he unbuckled his belt, took two steps closer, and pressed down on Xiao Huan. Just as he ripped open the collar of the person beneath him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his side and was sent flying.

With a stern face, Shang Wan put the basket she was carrying on the ground, swayed slightly, and arrived before the bearded man could land, kicking him into the air.

What followed was a dazzling display of brutal beatings. When the bearded man landed on the ground, he was covered in blood and barely recognizable as a human. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

The short man and the stick-thin man stared in disbelief, their legs trembling uncontrollably. The stick-thin man couldn't hold it in and urinated, instantly releasing a strong stench of urine.

The two turned to run, but Shang Wan descended from the sky, coldly observing them. "Where are you going?"

The short man threw the swaddled baby aside and, while Shang Wan went to pick up the child, he took off running, shouting for help as he ran.

The man with the bamboo pole wanted to run, but his legs were as weak as noodles and wouldn't obey him at all.

The next second, he was glad he hadn't run away, otherwise he would have been the one whose legs had been broken.

The cracking sound of bones breaking sent chills down his spine. He knelt down with a thud, trembling all over, and cried out, "Heroine, spare my life!"

Shang Wan glanced at him, then carried the swaddled baby over to help the still-shaken Xiao Huan up. Seeing Xiao Huan's swollen cheek, her expression suddenly darkened, a cold killing intent flashing in her eyes.

These people deserve to die!
