Chapter 87 Bites Can Be Deadly [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Roundy blinked her big eyes, her little face full of confusion.

Shang Wan: "..."

She looked at Lu Chengjing, "Have those field mice left?"

Lu Chengjing shook his head, "They're still in the ground with the stones."

Without saying much, Shang Wan grabbed Yuan Yuan and rushed towards the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

On this side of the wasteland, Stone was trying to figure out how to direct the field mice to help him dig a ditch to bring water from the river into the field.

He was scribbling on the ground with a twig, completely unaware that the field mice's eyes were glowing with an eerie red light.

"Just digging ditches isn't enough; we need to build a pool to store water so it's easier to irrigate the fields," Stone muttered to himself, drawing a square pool at the end of the ditch. He turned to the field mice, "You guys can... ah!"

Three field mice rushed towards him, and the stone rolled away in fright.

The other field mice swarmed around, sharpening their claws and lunging at the stone, as if they wanted to tear a piece of flesh off it.

One of the drawbacks of the Beast Taming ability is that if you command non-domesticated animals to work for you, and your ability level is too low, you must pay them a reward equal to what they do, or you will suffer a backlash from the animals.

If it's a herbivore, at most it will kill the person. If it's a carnivore or omnivore, killing them isn't enough; the carcass will be eaten by the animal, and in the end, perhaps only a few bones will remain.

If Yuanyuan were nearby, she could have kept the field mice in check, preventing them from becoming aggressive so quickly.

But now that Yuanyuan is gone, only Shitou, who also commands the field mice, is here. At the same time, Yuanyuan has already completed the tasks she ordered them to do. The field mice don't have the habit of working overtime, so of course they have to start demanding their reward.

The unlucky stone rolled around on the ground several times before realizing that the field mouse had gone out of control.

He didn't know if killing the field mice would harm Yuanyuan, so he could only wave his hoe to threaten the field mice not to come near.

"If you come any closer, I'll really hit you!"

"I'm telling you, I'm Yuanyuan's uncle. If you bite me, Yuanyuan will deal with you."

"No, no, no, don't come any closer!"

Shi Tou retreated while swinging his hoe, not daring to run home.

My sister isn't back yet. What if these field mice chase after them and hurt my brother-in-law and the others?
The field mice couldn't understand what the stone was saying; to them, the stone was just a piece of live meat.

Field mice are small and fast. Under the attack, Shi Tou gradually lost his footing. Caught off guard, a field mouse bit his ankle, making him yell "Ouch!" The hoe he was swinging froze, revealing an even bigger opening.

The field mice seized the opportunity and swarmed forward, opening their mouths to strike the stone, but suddenly they all stopped, the red light in their eyes fading, and lay motionless in place.

Shang Wan descended from the sky carrying Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan's little brows were furrowed, her little face was puffed up with anger, and she was spitting out a string of words at the field mice in her little baby voice, which was fast and urgent. Shang Wan couldn't understand what her little one was saying at all.

In the end, the field mice were scolded by Yuanyuan and became obedient, lining up to receive their reward from Shang Wan and leaving.

"Su!" Yuanyuan jumped into Shitou's arms, pouting her little lips and blowing air at him, "Whoosh~"

Not only Shang Wan heard Shi Tou's cry, but Yuan Yuan also heard it, which frightened the little one.

Shi Tou grinned and said, "Uncle is fine, it doesn't hurt."

Shang Wan squatted down to examine the wounds on his ankles. There were two shallow blood holes, not much blood had flowed out, but the area around the wounds was red and swollen.

The rodent's teeth carry many germs, and the wound must have been infected.

She stood up, took the medicine from Yuanyuan, and said, "Go back and get water to wash the wound, and take out the jar of ointment for your brother-in-law and apply it to the wound."

She added spiritual spring water to the ointment. The spiritual spring water can detoxify and cure diseases, which is enough to deal with this small wound.

“Brother-in-law’s medicine is expensive.” Shi Tou glanced at the wound on his ankle. “It’s just a little broken skin, I can wash it off.”

Shang Wan said quietly, "Field mice are still mice, and their bites can be fatal. If you don't want to live, you don't have to apply the medicine." Shi Tou immediately perked up, "I'll apply it!"

No medicine is more important than life, no matter how expensive it is.

Fearing for his life, he grabbed his hoe and ran home as fast as he could.

Shang Wan, carrying Yuan Yuan, slowly followed, raised her hand to pinch the little one's soft cheek, and said gently:
"My dear child, you're too young right now, and your ability level is too low. Although you can summon animals, you can't suppress them for the time being. After getting the animals to help you, you can give them some food as payment. You can't do it like you did today, understand?"

"I remember!" Yuanyuan nodded her little head heavily, thinking of Uncle Stone's bleeding wound.

Shang Wan smiled and kissed her little one, thinking to herself that she also bore some responsibility for this; she should have told the little guy about it when Yuan Yuan first used his superpower.

She helped clean up the mess the last few times, but in the future, Yuanyuan should handle it herself and be compensated in any way she can.

Xiao Huan brought water to wash Shi Tou's wound, and the cool well water temporarily relieved the burning pain.

Wiping away the water droplets, Shi Tou took out the ointment and carefully applied it to the wound and the surrounding area. The ointment stung as soon as it touched the wound, and he couldn't help but hiss softly.

"Su!" Yuanyuan clenched her little hands tightly, her fair face scrunched up like a bun, her head tilted to the side, staring intently without blinking, looking worried.

"Uncle is fine, it's just that the ointment is too cold." Shi Tou adjusted his expression, bandaged the wound with gauze, pulled down his trouser leg, washed his hands, and spun Yuan Yuan around in circles.

"Flying, flying~"

Yuanyuan giggled as he made her laugh, revealing her two tiny little teeth.

Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief; a smile was enough.

He put Yuanyuan on the soft cushion to play with the little turtle, while he went to help Shang Wan unload the bricks.

Shang Wan found the matter of concealing her space increasingly troublesome.

If her family knew, she could have easily moved all the bricks out with a wave of her hand; why go through all this trouble?

But after much deliberation, Shang Wan decided against being honest now.

Let's wait until she's successfully tested the spirit field.

Anyway, she didn't deliberately hide it. Apart from Shi Tou, Lu Chengjing and Xiao Huan should have discovered some clues, so there was no need to rush.

As dusk approached, villagers came one after another to Lu Chengjing to keep accounts. Shang Wan took the opportunity to inform everyone that the disaster relief grain had arrived in the county town.

News travels fast in the village, and soon the whole village knew, which gave them even more hope for the distribution of grain.

After dinner, Shang Wan and her family of five sat together to discuss the design of their new house.

Of course, little Yuanyuan was in charge of holding the milk bottle and joining in the fun.

Lu Chengjing assembled the small table of the wheelchair, spread out a sheet of white paper, weighed down the two sides with a paperweight, and first sketched a rough design with a pen.

Shang Wan and the other two were responsible for offering suggestions, such as how to design the kitchen, how to arrange the side rooms, and where to set up the study...

As the four discussed, the blueprints were gradually improved, and the prototype of the new house appeared before their eyes.

Lu Chengjing rotated his wrist and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be modified?"

The three looked left and right, and Shang Wan pointed to the courtyard gate, "No steps needed."

Lu Chengjing picked up his pen and crossed it out.

Xiao Huan and Shi Tou also offered some suggestions, but they were all things to be added after the new house was repaired, so there was no rush.

The following afternoon, a group of yamen runners escorted relief grain to the village entrance.
