Night quicksand had been recuperating in the Ye Mansion for a few days, and he was not as big as he was when he first came, because he knew that the white dragon was indeed not in the Ye Mansion.

Night Quicksand is not only simple-minded, but also has been practicing Gu in the valley since he was a child, he has never seen the world, and he doesn't understand the world. In the past few days, he has eaten and drunk a lot in the Ye Mansion, and only Ye duckweed takes care of him.

Fortunately, now that Ye Mansion is an eventful season, Ye San has just died, and the old city lord is also critically ill, but the people in the mansion have not paid much attention to the night quicksand.

After the night quicksand recovered from his injury, he left the Ye Mansion to find his senior sister, and when he left, Ye Duckweed gave him some silver taels, and the night quicksand said a word stupidly, and made Ye Duckweed laugh.

He said: "The saying that the most poisonous woman's heart is wrong, because you are as kind as your senior sister and as beautiful as her." ”

Night quicksand walked on the street, watching people come and go, looking for the trace of the senior sister, but lost his way. He was large in size, and he was hungry as much as he ate, and he was hungry again not long after he left Ye Mansion.

He looked around and found that there was a teahouse not far away, he had never drunk tea, and when he saw that the people there were savoring it, he swallowed his saliva and strode towards the teahouse.

"Guests, please!" the teahouse guy greeted the guests in front of the door, and the night quicksand followed the others in.

Night quicksand found a place, sat alone at the table, and asked for a pot of fine tea, following the example of the others.

He took a sip, and at first he felt that it was not as good as white water, but after taking another sip, he felt the faint fragrance and new sweetness, and he was immediately full of praise.

However, although this tea is delicious, it is not hungry after all. Even if he drank this pot of tea, he couldn't fill his stomach.

Therefore, he was about to leave after taking two sips, when the teahouse guy stopped him and said with an unkind face: "Guest officer, you haven't paid yet." ”

"Do you need money to drink saliva?" Night Quicksand was amazed.

The guy in the teahouse suddenly grabbed the collar of the night quicksand and shouted: "Poor ghosts, don't learn from others to drink tea, dare to come here to drink, and ask someone to break your legs!"

"Haha, you skinny monkey still want to break my legs, and besides, I don't have no money. So saying, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and laid it directly on the table. The man's eyes widened when he saw such a big ingot of silver, and he suddenly changed his face, apologized to the night quicksand, and invited him upstairs.

Because the night quicksand was hungry and wanted to eat, the teahouse guy specially instructed some miscellaneous people to go outside to buy some good wine and food, and of course cheated the night quicksand of a piece of silver.

The deceived Night Quicksand still thinks that this guy is a good person, and keeps thanking others. The teahouse guy smiled and flattered on the surface, but scolded the stupid hat in his heart.

The guests on the second floor are either rich or expensive, and there is a storyteller performing in front of them.

Night quicksand eats in a big gulp while listening to the story.

I just heard the storyteller say:

"Today I will tell you a story about the wolf, as we all know, the wolf is a ferocious beast, it even eats people. Telling this story, it is said that once upon a time there was a girl named Xiaohua, whose mother died after giving birth to her fifth child. Originally, his father Li Laosan was hunting, and his mother was collecting medicine, barely supporting the family life, which made life even more difficult. In the second year, Li Laosan went hunting in the mountains and was attacked by tigers, and his father jumped off the cliff in order not to cook the tiger's meal. Although he saved his life, he broke his backbone and became a cripple.

This year, Xiaohua had just turned fifteen years old and had to take on the heavy responsibility of family life with her immature shoulders. Every day before dawn, Xiaohua would get up to make breakfast, take a quick bite, and follow the women in the village to the mountain to learn to collect medicine. At night, after taking care of her father and younger siblings to sleep, she learned to put the soles of her shoes under the dim oil lamp, preparing cotton shoes for winter, and her fingers were often poked with needletips, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing......"

Night quicksand was attracted by this story, and he didn't eat anymore, but looked at the storyteller seriously and listened carefully.

The storyteller continued: "This miserable life ended completely when Xiaohua was eighteen years old, and her family became a rich family in the village. It all came down to an adventure when the florets were picking herbs. Hence the name of this story, which is called 'The herb picker gave birth to a female wolf with a difficult birth, but on the day of marriage, she attracted a pack of wolves to congratulate her'"

"Don't be disgusted with long names, and let me continue. The storyteller shook his head and shook his head, which was quite funny, which caused the tea guests to laugh one after another, and the night quicksand was also infected by the atmosphere with the laughter of the people.

After the laughter, the storyteller continued: "After several days of heavy rain, the mountain road has become slippery, and it is impossible to collect medicine at all, but the rice in Xiaohua's rice tank is almost bottoming out. Looking at her sallow younger brothers and sisters, Xiaohua was anxious. That morning, as soon as the rain stopped, Xiaohua carried a medicine basket on her back and went door to door to ask the women of the village to go up the mountain to collect medicine. Seeing that the mountains in the distance were wrapped in gray mist, the women kindly persuaded Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, it has just rained, and the mountain is wet and slippery, and the dew is heavy, so there is no way to collect medicine." Wait until the sun rises tomorrow and then go up the mountain to collect medicine. ”

When Xiaohua returned home, Li Laosan suffered a recurrence due to a fall, and the severe pain made him, a tough guy, moan lowly. Due to lack of money for medical treatment, Li Laosan was already paralyzed in bed. My father's illness needed to be healed, and it was time to do so. Xiaohua instructed the second and third children to take care of their father and younger siblings at home, and walked towards the mountains alone.

The way up the mountain was really slippery and difficult to walk, and Xiaohua had to drag the wild bushes with one hand and walked forward with difficulty, and her body was wet with heavy dew. Along the way, she basically didn't get anything, and when it was close to noon, she only dug up a dozen cheap banlan roots. Xiaohua finds a large rock and sits down to rest. Looking at the mountains and peaks, his face was covered with gloomy clouds, his father's painful moans seemed to sound in his ears, and the little faces of his younger siblings with yellow muscles and thin muscles appeared in front of him...... She was ruthless and walked in the direction of the Valley of the Wolves......"

At this point, everyone held their breath, and the night quicksand was no exception.

The storyteller's expression also became solemn, and he said: "Xiaohua heard Uncle Li in the village say that the wolf valley is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is only one valley mouth. There are many rare medicinal materials in the Valley of the Wolves, but it is a dangerous place for wild beasts to infest, even if the hunters are in groups, they will never dare to step into the Valley of the Wolves for half a step. Forty years ago, there were more than ten hunters in the village, formed a hunter group, and went to the wolf valley to hunt, only Uncle Li survived, but he was bitten off by a wolf, and the rest were buried in the wolf's belly. Uncle Li is already in his prime, as long as he mentions the Valley of the Wolves, there will still be fear in his eyes.

However, the huge temptation of being able to find rare medicinal materials in the Valley of the Wolves still made Xiaohua decide to try her luck. It was getting closer and closer to the valley of the wolves, and from time to time the howls of wolves could be heard. Xiaohua slowly approached the wolf valley cautiously, and she unconsciously clenched the shovel for digging medicine. Xiaohua's heart rose to her throat, and she felt that her heart was beating so much that it was about to pop out.

In the bushes under the cliff of Gukou Mountain, Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised to find a few Polygonum multiflori, which grew very vigorously. Judging by the appearance, it is at least a hundred years old. She put down the medicine basket and looked around, but she didn't see a wolf, she quickly dug up He Shou Wu, and at the same time vigilantly observed the movements around her. I don't know if it's because I'm scared or if I'm trying too hard, Xiaohua's clothes are soaked with sweat. In the end, she dug out all the He Shou Wu and put it in the medicine basket.

Xiaohua packed up the tools for digging medicine, picked up the medicine basket, and thought to herself: "Hurry up and leave the land of right and wrong in the Valley of the Wolves." "I had just walked a few steps when suddenly there was the miserable cry of a wolf not far ahead, followed by a cry of anguished infantile cry, followed by a high-pitched and heart-rending scream. Listening to the voice, Xiaohua knew that the wolf was hurt, and she couldn't get around, so she tried to walk forward cautiously.

Picking through the grass, she found a she-wolf lying on the ground with a large belly and blood on her hind legs. When the she-wolf saw Xiaohua, her eyes were full of desire to survive, and the helpless eyes of the she-wolf reminded Xiaohua of how painful and desperate her mother was when she gave birth to her fifth sister...... Thinking of this, she suddenly felt pity, and said to the she-wolf, "I'll try to save you, don't you eat me!" The she-wolf stopped moaning as if she understood. Little Flower moved towards the she-wolf step by step.

Xiaohua saw Wen Po delivering her mother, she squatted down and massaged the abdomen of the she-wolf, and the she-wolf was also very cooperative and very docile. But for a long time, the wolf cub was still not born, and at this time the she-wolf was already dying, paralyzed on the ground, and even had no strength to struggle and whimper. Seeing this, Xiaohua took out the kettle, washed her hands, and put her hand into the belly of the she-wolf...... One, two...... A total of four wolf cubs were taken out, and Xiaohua took out some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic herbs from the medicine basket, chewed them, and put them in the mouth of the she-wolf.

The she-wolf was saved, and she cast an infinite grateful look at the little flower. After a long time, the she-wolf staggered to her feet and carried the wolf cubs into a nearby cave one by one......

Xiaohua hurried home, for fear of encountering wolves again. When she returned home, Xiaohua found herself in a cold sweat. She sold He Shou Wu, but her father's illness did not improve for a while. A month later, Xiaohua ventured to the wolf valley again, and the she-wolf stood at the mouth of the valley early to greet her, as if she knew that Xiaohua was coming to the wolf valley. Behind it, there were four wolf cubs laughing and playing. Under the leadership of the she-wolf, Xiaohua entered the deepest part of the wolf valley and collected many rare medicinal materials.

Later, Xiaohua entered the Valley of the Wolves many times, and she returned with a full load every time, the medicine basket was full of rare medicinal herbs, and she even picked two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. In this way, the life of Xiaohua's family is getting better and better, becoming a wealthy family, and because his father has been well healed, he miraculously stands up on crutches and can take care of himself.

After a few more years, Xiaohua reached the age of starting a family, and in order to be able to take care of her father, she married a young man surnamed Liu in the village. When the day of marriage came, Xiaohua put on new clothes and sat in the sedan chair to welcome her relatives. Suddenly, I heard the howls of hundreds of wolves coming from the mountains not far away, and the voices were getting closer and closer. A pack of wolves rushed down from the mountain, mighty, and came straight to the mountain village. The villagers were shocked and beckoned to hurry back to the house, but before they could enter the house, the wolves had already arrived in front of them.

To the surprise of the villagers, the wolves did not attack the crowd and livestock. Each wolf has something in its mouth, or game, or Ganoderma lucidum, or ginseng, and the leader is the she-wolf that Xiaohua saved...... They put the contents of their mouths in front of Xiaohua's palanquin and withdrew to the hillside outside the village.

Xiaohua instructed everyone not to be afraid, and to get up at the appointed time. When the sedan chair entered the house of the groom, the majestic howl of the wolves sounded on the hillside again, and hundreds of wolves lined up, raising their heads and howling, the momentum was really spectacular. The villagers were amazed when they saw it.

Some people in the village said that they had heard their ancestors say that it was the top congratulatory gift from the wolf clan to their benefactors. ”

And so ends the story. The guests applauded, and the storyteller stood up to return the salute.

At this time, Night Quicksand suddenly remembered what the master had said:

If the wolf turns back, there must be a reason, either to repay the favor or to take revenge.
