After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 415 Sending a Pony

The alpha wolf was no pushover either; it not only dodged quickly but also jumped behind Shen Yi to launch a sneak attack.

The battle between the man and the wolf kept the four children on their toes.

Su Tai also peeked at him, but she wasn't worried about Shen Yi's safety.

When she went out, she saw Shen Yi put on his armor and carry a crossbow, which would have been enough to deal with a wolf.

Sure enough, in the time it took her to eat a piece of bread, Shen Yi had already killed the alpha wolf.

The four children cheered and shouted, about to rush out, but Su Tai stopped them.

"Wolves are the most vengeful creatures. We must wait until all the wolves outside have been dealt with before we can leave, and we must leave here quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Upon hearing this, the four children stopped making a fuss and sat down obediently.

Upon hearing Shen Yi's voice, Shen Yuezhang immediately handed over a bag of bread, saying, "Father, you must be tired. Have something to eat!"

"There's still water! Drink some water!" Shen Yue'an crawled out carrying a water bottle.

The constables were incredibly envious of how well-behaved the two children were.

"Lord Shen is truly blessed!"

Shen Yi proudly raised his chin. He preferred being admired for his daughter to being praised for killing the alpha wolf.

"Sir, what should we do with these wolves?"

Shen Yi glanced at it and said decisively, "If you want to take it, then take it; if you don't want to take it, then leave it. The wild beasts on the ice plains have been hungry all winter and need food."

Upon hearing this, everyone abandoned the dead wolves and quickened their pace.

Nothing else went wrong, and they successfully entered the town on the ice field.

Upon receiving the news, the town mayor personally came out to greet them, while Su Tai and her four children went to the Ke family's house.

Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong had visited once last year and were familiar with the Ke family's cousins. This was the first time the twins had come, and because they were rare fraternal twins, they immediately became the focus of attention for the dozen or so children in the Ke family.

Everyone surrounded them, asking all sorts of questions. The twins, being very outgoing, quickly became friends with them.

As Su Tai and Su Nizi were talking, Su Tai casually mentioned Ke Yunyun, "My cousin is pregnant again, and her husband has also been promoted. Now my cousin is a government official's wife."

"That's wonderful! Thank God! Thank God! My Yunyun's suffering has finally come to an end!" Su Nizi said excitedly, laughing and crying at the same time. "You must stay for a few days this time! Spend some time talking with Auntie!"

Su Tai looked apologetic. "Aunt, it really won't work. We're setting off for Qiongzi early tomorrow morning. Shen Yi has become the county magistrate, and we don't have enough people at home. We need to go to Qiongzi to buy some people to take back with us."

"Why go so far to buy people? What's wrong? Life is good where we are now, and we can't buy them anymore?" Su Nizi joked.

To everyone's surprise, Su Tai nodded.

"Really! My goodness! This is unbelievable! Our herders on the ice plains have only started to live a good life in the last two or three years, but there are still many poor families. However, the girls here are more precious than those back home, and no one sells their daughters." Su Nizi said with a look of emotion.

Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's why I'm going to Qiongzi."

"Alright! Auntie isn't being unreasonable. Since you have important business to attend to, then next time, next time you must come and stay for an extended period!" Su Nizi earnestly reminded her.

Only after receiving a positive reply from Su Tai did the topic drop.

In the evening, Shen Yi returned from the town mayor's office, saying that everything had been settled, but the mayor needed to make arrangements for a few days, so they could take advantage of those days to go to Qiongzi.

The group of constables had never been to Qiongzi before. They had heard that there was a boundless sea there, and they were all eager to go. They clamored to set off together.

Shen Yi told Su Tai about it as a joke. Su Tai laughed, "They'd be more than happy to be with me! I'll give them a red envelope when we get back."

The couple took their four children to Qiongzi. To be honest, Su Tai was a little unsure of herself. But if there were more government officials, she wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Just as the two finished speaking, a group of children returned.

Ke Jiafu excitedly shouted, "Auntie, Uncle, we took my second cousin and his sister horseback riding! They can ride ponies! Grandpa, I promised my cousins ​​I'd give them two ponies, is that okay?"

Ke Dasong laughed heartily, "You're in charge of what you raise, it's your own pony!"

"Wow! Our Fu can even raise ponies by himself! That's really amazing!" Su Tai gave him a thumbs up.

Ke Jiafu was so proud of himself that his tail was practically wagging in the air.

Ye Chunhua slapped him on the head. "What's with the arrogance? Which child among the herders on the icy plains doesn't know how to raise ponies?"

“That’s different! My ponies are the healthiest; none of them are sick!” Ke Jiafu retorted.

His earnest and righteous manner amused everyone, making them burst into laughter.

Ye Chunhua couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "You're full of twisted logic! Take your younger siblings to choose a pony!"

A group of children ran outside again, and in just a short while, the house was a complete mess, like a locust swarm had swept through.

Ye Xiaohua couldn't help but yell a few curses again.

Everyone had obviously gotten used to it.

For dinner, we had roasted whole lamb specially prepared by Ke Dasong and milk tea brewed by Su Nizi, a must-have for herders to entertain guests.

The four children, who had been playing wildly all afternoon, were starving. They had eaten bread and cake for several days in a row, and their eyes lit up when they saw food with soup and broth.

Shen Yue'an, who is usually a bit picky about food, was eating heartily at the moment and didn't need Su Tai to take care of her at all.

Su Tai glanced again at the Ke family children who were sitting around eating with great relish. She had to admit that having more children had its advantages; at least they ate with extra gusto.

The couple slept in one room at night, but their four children insisted on staying with the Ke siblings.

Seeing that they had a good relationship, Su Tai stopped interfering.

Anyway, we had to get up before dawn the next day to continue our journey.

Along the way from the ice field to Qiongzi, we also encountered some wild beasts, all small in size. They outnumbered the smaller ones, and the smaller ones ran away as soon as they saw them, not daring to approach.

Upon entering Qiongzi, the constables and four children, who had never seen the sea before, were all stunned.

The spring sea breeze was still a bit chilly, and it tousled everyone's hair, but they didn't care about anything else.

Seeing that everyone was completely absorbed in the sight, Shen Yi decided to slow down, and the group walked along, marveling at the vastness of the sea.

Those who had only ever seen the Great Xun River talked about it from day to night, and even when they went to bed, they were still discussing it.

The next day, they arrived at Xiaogang Village before noon.

The tide hadn't gone out yet, and there was no one on the beach. All the strong men in the village had gone out to sea, leaving only some elderly, weak, women, children, and kids behind.

Upon receiving the news, village chief Yu Xinghai rushed out. Seeing that it was Shen Yi and Su Tai, he quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, my lady, I calculated the days and knew you would be arriving soon. Everything is ready. I will go and inform the village chiefs of the other villages to come over."

The constables knew that Shen Yi's family was in the seafood business, and after hearing the village chief's words, they assumed it was a business matter between them and didn't say anything more.
