The village chief, seeing that their quarreling was getting nowhere, advised Sun Li’s wife, “Why don’t you just tell us what you were doing up on the mountain? If you haven’t done anything wrong, you naturally wouldn’t be afraid to tell everyone.”

At this point, Sun Li snapped back to reality. “Why do we have to explain ourselves?” he demanded. “Didn’t Zhou Lan and her daughter also go up the mountain in the middle of the night? Why isn’t anyone asking what they were up to!”

After hearing Sun Li’s words, the villagers finally realized that Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia had also gone up the mountain in the middle of the night. Someone asked, “Zhou Lan, why did you go up the mountain?”

Zhou Lan hadn’t expected the focus to shift to her, but she wasn’t afraid. She had already thought of an excuse. “Jiang Chuan suddenly felt unwell last night. I remembered seeing some medicinal herbs on the mountain, so I went to pick some,” she explained. “Who knew we would run into the Sun couple right at the foot of the mountain, and they tried to attack us without saying a word.”

Upon hearing this, everyone found it reasonable. After all, they knew that Dr. Li had visited Jiang Chuan just the day before because he was not feeling well.

A curious villager broke the temporary silence, “Now the mountain is barren, and many plants have died due to the drought. Where did you see these medicinal herbs? What kind of herb was it?”

Zhou Lan paused, not expecting such a detailed question. She casually said the name of the herb, “Isatis root! I thought 1 saw it when 1 went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables before. 1 wasn’t sure, so I went up again to look for it.”

Jiang Chuan didn’t expect to be dragged into this. He immediately played along and coughed twice as if he was really uncomfortable. Everyone became somewhat skeptical.

Zhou Lan mentioned Isatis root because that was the only medicinal herb she knew. She had learned of it after catching a cold due to sweating during martial arts training. A club master in the martial arts hall had given her Isatis root at that time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known any herbs at all.

Jiang Xia was worried that everyone would continue to dwell on this topic, so she quickly changed the subject and redirected everyone’s attention back to the Sun couple.

She pointed at the black cloth bag in Sun’s wife’s arms and shouted, “Look at what she is holding! It seems to be moving!”

Upon hearing that it was moving, Sun Li’s wife trembled with fear, and the object in her hands dropped to the ground, emitting a faint whimper. Terrified, Sun Li’s wife quickly picked up the cloth bag and held it tightly, warily watching everyone.

Now, the crowd was even more curious.

The village chief realized that something was wrong. This sound did not sound like an ordinary animal. Moreover, the two people from the Sun family were beating around the bush and refusing to explain for a long time. It must be something bad.

“Ms. Sun, will you open this cloth bag yourself, or shall we do it for you?” the village chief sternly asked.

Sun Li’s wife clung tightly to the cloth bag and protested, “No, no one can see! This is our family’s business; why should we show you?”

At that moment, the black cloth bag moved again, this time more vigorously. It was clear that the creature inside had been awakened by the fall and was beginning to struggle.

As it struggled, it also made a noise. Suddenly, it seemed as if Sun Li’s wife was bitten; in pain, she hastily threw the cloth bag away. After all the commotion, the bag loosened, and what was inside was revealed.

To everyone’s astonishment, it was a wolf cub that was on the verge of death.

Seeing the wolf, a chill ran through everyone’s hearts.

They knew how terrifying wolves were, not to mention that Jiang Chuan’s family had encountered wolves twice recently and had been attacked by them.

About two or three years ago, the wolf pack had grown large, and because a villager had injured a wolf while hunting in the mountains, the pack retaliated and attacked the village that very night. Several unsuspecting villagers who were out and about were killed by the wolves.

Since then, the village had established a rule that no one was allowed to approach the wolves, let alone touch anything related to them.

The Sun couple were truly brazen, daring to provoke a wolf pack and even stealing a wolf cub to bring back.. Wasn’t this inviting a wolf pack to descend upon the village and harm the villagers?!
