Su Ying woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing.

She moved her body and found that the two little fellows were still sleeping comfortably next to her. They were covered with new quilts. One quilt acted as the bed sheet while the other was the blanket, and both were especially warm. Even Su Ying was unwilling to get out of bed when she woke up if there wasn’t anything she had to do.

“It’s snowing. Aunt Zhao, look. It’s snowing outside.”

Snowing?

Su Ying heard the commotion in the courtyard and carefully got up. After putting on her cotton-padded coat, she opened the door and walked out.

As soon as she opened the door, a thick gust of freezing air blasted onto her face. Su Ying shivered from the intense cold. If she did not circulate her energy in the morning, her Yang energy would be weaker. In the past, this bit of cold would never have troubled her.

“It really is snowing.” Su Ying looked at the icicles on the roof eaves. Although this place was called the northern wilderness, its overall geographical location was not near the northern region but closer to the south.

The winter snow in the south was different from the dry snow in the north. The snow in the south was frosty and damp, and this kind of cold mixed with freezing chilliness and dampness was even more piercing.

“Fortunately, the last batch of charcoal on the charcoal mountain has been sorted out yesterday. Otherwise, once the snow comes, the charcoal will be wasted.” A few days ago, everyone had dug many new pits to make charcoal. The charcoal was ready two days after the children’s school holidays started. They had dug the whole batch out yesterday. If they had waited until today, the charcoal would have been destroyed.

“This damn weather is really freezing.” Lin Zhuyu shivered as she went to the backyard to fetch a bucket of hot water for everyone to wash up. At the point when she scooped it out, the water was still boiling hot. By the time she returned from the backyard, it had become warm water.

After Su Ying washed up with the water, she left through the back door and headed for the livestock shed.

The day before yesterday, she had put a heating board on the shed. She did not know if it was effective. If these animals were frozen to death, it would be a big loss to her.

Su Ying pushed open the door to the shed. As soon as she entered, she could clearly feel that the temperature inside was much higher than outside. Only then did she feel slightly relieved.

Madam Hu came later than usual. She was probably held up by the snow.

“Mistress, why are you here? Gosh! Look at me. I didn’t expect it to snow at night. If I had known, 1 would have left an hour earlier.” Madam Hu looked very apologetic as she felt that she had delayed her work.

“Aunt Hu, don’t come here anymore after today. Come back again after the New Year. It’s the New Year the day after tomorrow. Stay at home and get ready for the New Year.”

At first, when she heard the first half of the sentence, Madam Hu was frightened out of her wits. She thought that Su Ying didn’t want her anymore. “It’s okay, Mistress. The livestock don’t celebrate the New Year with us. These livestock need to be taken care of too.”

“It’s almost the end of the year. Everyone has less work to do. Let them handle the things here for the time being.”

As Su Ying spoke, she returned to the courtyard and packed a sack of foodstuff for Madam Hu. She also brought her a basket of eggs and told her to bring it home after she finished her work that night.

Madam Hu tried in vain to refuse, so in the end, she accepted the goods.

When Su Ying returned to the courtyard, she saw Xiao Jin preparing to go out.

“You haven’t finished the defensive work?”

Xiao Jin replied, “It’s almost done. We can fix the rest after the New Year.”

“Do you need help?”

Xiao Jin shook his head. “You can accompany the children. I’m leaving.”

Su Ying nodded. “Mm-hmm.”

However, Su Ying couldn’t accompany her children today. She planned to take out all the bisons in her interspatial store and distribute a portion of them to the people in the various districts before the New Year. It could also be considered a reward for their hard work during this period of time.

So, after breakfast, Su Ying headed to the back of the mountain.

When she reached the fence, Number Three opened the door for her and she rode out on her horse.

As it had snowed, the road on the mountain was very difficult to move on.

When she saw that there was no one around, Su Ying put the horse into her interspatial store and took out a pair of anti-slip and waterproof military boots from her interspatial store to change into before heading up the mountain.

There was already very little prey on the mountain before it snowed. Now, after it had snowed, there was even less prey to be seen. As she walked on the mountain, she could only see snow and ice all around her. There was not a single living thing.

Su Ying tentatively took out the detector and turned it on. To her surprise, she saw many red dots on the device’s screen.

She looked in the direction of the red dots and slowly walked that way. As she approached the red dots, she smelled the unique scent of a wild beast.

Su Ying paused in her tracks, turned around, and climbed onto a big tree to wait for the red dots to come closer.

Before long, Su Ying saw a few tigers strolling over majestically.

Su Ying looked at the stripes on the tigers’ bodies. If she remembered correctly, these tigers were the ones she had encountered last time.

These tigers kept sniffing the ground as if they were looking for something.

When they arrived at the tree Su Ying was hiding on, the alpha tiger sniffed the roots of the tree and suddenly stopped. As if trying to confirm something, it sniffed the tree several times before finally stopping and slowly raising its head to look up at the tree.

Four eyes met, and the tiger’s eyes widened and became focused.

The alpha tiger took a step back as if it had discovered its prey. It then let out a low roar to its companions behind that only they could understand.

Su Ying had already taken out her electric baton. The moment she met the tiger’s gaze, she felt that the beast had recognized her. The look in its eyes made her feel that it was looking for her.

A vengeful tiger. How interesting.

Su Ying didn’t jump down from the tree recklessly. It would be more advantageous for her to take them down one by one on the tree. If these tigers had targeted her, they would definitely climb up.

True enough, when the alpha tiger saw that Su Ying was not moving, it took a few steps back. Its body bumped into its companion beside it, and that tiger began moving slowly toward the big tree. It extended its sharp claws and began climbing up the tree slowly.

Su Ying wasn’t in a hurry. She turned on the electric baton. After switching it on, when the tiger started making its move, she swung the baton outward before it had a chance to react.

Roar!

The tiger was struck by the electrical charge. Before its furious roar could be emitted from its mouth, it fell off the tree.

Roar! The alpha tiger roared angrily when it saw its companion falling down. Its gaze at Su Ying became even more menacing.

Those tigers seemed to realize that climbing up the tree wasn’t a good idea, so they all rushed forward and surrounded Su Ying under the big tree. They didn’t attack, and it seemed that they were planning to tire Su Ying out.

Su Ying wasn’t going to rush into things. She was also curious how long these tigers would be able to encircle her. After all, they were tamed by humans, so they couldn’t possibly stay here forever.

As seconds and minutes ticked by, both sides remained in a stalemate.

At this moment, the whistling sound that Su Ying had heard earlier rang out in the air once again. The alpha tiger stood up from the ground. It wanted to turn around and leave, but it was unwilling to let Su Ying go just like that. After hesitating for a moment, it suddenly turned around and climbed up the tree.

Su Ying’s eyes darkened. It seemed that this beast hated her so much that it didn’t even want to listen to its tamer’s orders.

The alpha tiger slowly approached Su Ying, and then it suddenly leaped toward her..
