Chapter 77 - 77 I Like
77 I Like
The area at the back of the mountain was huge, and Su Ying thought that there should be a lot of prey in there, but her detector had not found anything.
It wasn’t until she followed the wolf pack deep into the mountains that she discovered traces of wild boars.
Su Ying took out a tranquilizer gun and got the wolves to surround the boar slowly and attack from behind.
The wild boar seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. It turned around and wanted to flee, but it was too late. It was completely surrounded by the wolves.
Howl! The alpha wolf leader roared and rushed forward to block the wild boar’s retreat.
However, the wild boar was not to be trifled with, and it charged into the wolf pack directly.
Su Ying took the opportunity to shoot the tranquilizer gun and knock the wild boar out.
After the pack of wolves saw the wild boar fall, they all went forward to sniff it, but none of them dared to touch it.
Su Ying took out her dagger and slit the boar to bleed it while it was still warm.
A gush of warm and stinky boar blood flowed out, and the wolves dashed up to lick it greedily. Su Ying cut off the boar’s head and tossed it to them.
The wolf pack swarmed forward, biting and tearing at the head madly.
Su Ying put the boar away into her interspatial store after the blood had been drained.
The bloodstains on the grass might attract other prey. Su Ying thought for a moment, then took out a shovel and made a trap. She would come back two days later to see if any prey had fallen for it.
After catching a wild boar, Su Ying caught a few more birds. When it was almost time, she brought the wolf pack down the mountain.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she took the wild boar out of her interspatial store and carried it back to the open space.
“Wow, Mother is back! Mother caught a big wild boar back!”
The twins Ji and Ling as well as Lin Sheng were all very excited to see Su Ying returning with a wild boar. They were excited not only because they would have meat to eat, but also because they felt very curious.
When Su Ying placed the boar on the ground, they all rushed up excitedly to look at it.
“Uncle Hea, we’ll have an extra dish tonight.”
Hea Shouyi chuckled and took the knife to the wild boar. “Sure. I’ll make a variety of meat dishes for all of you to eat tonight.”
Su Ying went to gather some dry grass and laid it on the ground. She placed the boar on the grass and lit a fire to burn off the boar’s fur.
“That’s strange. Bai Shuang has gone to gather firewood for so long. Why hasn’t she returned yet?” Hea Shouyi wanted to ask someone to help boil water, but he could not locate Bai Shuang.
“When did she go?”
Hea Shouyi frowned. “Now that I think about it, that girl left this morning. It’s getting dark, yet she hasn’t returned.”
Hea Shouyi’s words immediately put Su Ying on high alert. She had told everyone before that it was best not to act alone because they had not completely figured out the situation in this area. Even if they really wanted to act alone, they should not go far.
“She’s been gone for so long?”
Hea Shouyi nodded. “That’s right. She came back in less than an hour yesterday. Why did she take so long today? Did something happen?”
Su Ying’s heart sank down slowly. “I’ll go search for her nearby.”
“Mistress, I’ll go with you.” Hea Shouyi stood up.
Su Ying shook her head. “No need. I’ll just walk one round. If I can’t find her, I’ll get everyone to search together.”
“Then, Mistress, you must be careful.”
Su Ying gave a reply and walked towards the wooden building.
The area around their open space was actually quite empty. Other than the houses on the left and right, there was no one living nearby.
There was a forest behind the wooden building. If Bai Shuang were to gather firewood, she would usually go there.
Su Ying walked to the back of the wooden building, but she didn’t see Bai Shuang.
“What are you looking for, Little Miss? This thing?”
Su Ying turned around and saw Mei Niang standing at the top of the wooden building. She was holding the shock wave bracelet Su Ying had given Bai Shuang. This bracelet could only be used once, but Bai Shuang couldn’t bear to throw it away. She said that it looked nice and wanted to wear it forever.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes. “She’s with you.”
Mei Niang laughed coyly. “I saw that the girl was beautiful and I really liked her, so I invited her over to my place for a cup of tea. Would you like to join us, Little Miss?”
Su Ying turned around and walked to the front of the wooden building. The door slowly opened, but there was no one there.
Su Ying walked in and saw an extremely obese woman sharpening a kitchen knife.
The night was getting darker, and the gray knife glowed with a steely silver light in the dark.
After Su Ying entered, the obese woman raised her head and glanced at her with a creepy smile. She didn’t hide the greed and desire in her eyes.
“Little Miss, come here.”
Mei Niang was waving at Su Ying from the second floor.
Su Ying walked into the main hall. There was only one table in the main hall, and at the side of the main hall was a spiral staircase.
Mei Niang was standing at the top of the stairs, waiting.
Su Ying walked up the creaking stairs and approached Mei Niang. Mei Niang reached out to grab Su Ying’s hand, but Su Ying evaded her.
“Where is she?”
Mei Niang smiled without a word, turned around, and entered a room.
The table in the room was filled with delicious, aromatic food.
“Come and try these. See if this meat is to your liking.”
Su Ying looked at the table full of meat and didn’t touch it. Mei Niang picked up a piece of bone for her.
Su Ying’s eyes widened suddenly. However, just as she was about to step forward, she suddenly felt her body stiffening. Her expression changed slightly as she glared furiously at Mei Niang. “You drugged me!”
Mei Niang’s smile grew even wider. “You have wronged me. The medicinal smoke has been in the room the entire time. If you can’t stand it, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Behind her, the burly woman walked in.
That woman threw Su Ying on her shoulders and walked out.
She brought Su Ying to the backyard, where there was a door.
After opening the door, that burly woman brought her in.
The moment she entered, Su Ying could smell the stench of blood.
She turned around and saw Bai Shuang, whose limbs were bound and whose clothes had all been stripped off, being hung from the beam.
Su Ying’s eyes widened, but she allowed the woman to put her in a water jar.
Just as she was about to slit Su Ying to bleed her, Su Ying slowly sat up and grabbed the knife in that burly woman’s hand.
The woman was shocked to see that Su Ying could still move. However, she quickly reached out to grab Su Ying’s hair.
Su Ying tilted her head and dodged the woman’s hand. She nimbly jumped behind the woman and used her elbow to restrain that woman’s neck.
The fat woman felt suffocated and struggled desperately, flailing madly and overturning the things in the room.
When Mei Niang, who had walked to the door, heard the commotion inside, her expression changed. She pushed the door open and walked in.
