Chapter 38: Chapter 38 The Mountain God Shows His Spirit and Brings Imnse Wealth Chapter 38: Chapter 38 The Mountain God Shows His Spirit and Brings Imnse Wealth However, these martens didn’t know there was soone secretly observing them.
After picking up Blood Sand for a while, the martens finally couldn’t resist the temptation and started to climb onto the cart.
Just at that mont, a vine suddenly sprang to life.
The marten hadn’t figured out what was happening when its legs were entangled by the vines.
The marten struggled instinctively.
But the vine, like a snake, only tightened its grip the more the marten moved.
With no other choice, the marten tried to bite it, but as soon as it opened its mouth, several more vines appeared out of nowhere and firmly wrapped around its mouth.
Even their fangs were controlled, and the martens completely lost their freedom of movent, like turtles trapped in a jar.
A flash of panic and desperation appeared in the marten’s eyes, but in the dark night, apart from the crickets’ mindless chirping, there was no other sound.
Bai Junjun, seeing that the three martens had cald down, finally withdrew her attention and continued to “recharge” Green Sesa.
Unnoticed, the chirping of birds increased around her, and the sound of snoring ceased, followed shortly by the sound of stretching.
The sky started to lighten, and one by one, the boys of the Qiu family began to wake up.
Qiu San’s first task upon rising was to check the animal traps he’d set last night to see if there were any captures.
Qiu Er checked the fire to see if it had gone out, and quickly added so wood while there were still a few embers left, to avoid having to start it all over again.
As for Qiu Da, his first priority was to inspect the goods on the cart, but he unexpectedly discovered several martens underneath it.
Martens?
He widened his eyes and hurried over – sure enough, there were indeed three martens lying under the cart!
Their hands, feet, and mouths were bound, leaving only their eyes darting around.
“Oh my God, you guys co here!”
Qiu Da’s shout brought Qiu Er, Qiu San, and Old Uncle Qiu over.
Several n gathered around the cart, where they saw the three martens tied up and left under it, unlike the inanimate objects on top, they were very much alive.
Everyone was taken aback.
“Could it be that the Mountain God has shown his power?”
No wonder they thought so, after all, although martens were commonly seen, they were cunning creatures and not easy to capture alive.
In the village, soone watched for a complete marten pelt for three years without success.
Now, they woke up to find three sleek, well-fed, lively martens lying under their cart – it was like an unexpected fortune. It was like a dream co true.
“It seems that saving people really does help!” Qiu Da was extrely excited; it must have been a reward from the Mountain God for saving the Bai siblings.
“Cough cough, what are you talking about,” Old Uncle Qiu gave him a look: “We didn’t save people for a reward from the Mountain God. And even if it was the Mountain God showing his power, he wouldn’t send us martens; after all, it’s chaos out there, and it’s uncertain if anyone would buy marten pelts!”
Old Uncle Qiu thought that if the Mountain God were to give them anything, it would be sothing they were really short of, like rice, flour, or oil.
Therefore, these martens couldn’t have co from the Mountain God.
“I think it was from the Mountain God; maybe he’s hinting that everything is fine in Cold City, and he wants us to settle down there with these martens,” Qiu Da suggested.
As this father and sons speculated wildly, Bai Junjun quietly raised her hand: “Um… I caught those martens.”
“Ah???” Everyone turned in stunned silence.
But seeing the girl clearly, they were taken aback.
In the dim light of dawn, Bai Junjun looked even more beautiful and lively than the night before.
It took a long while for everyone to co back to their senses and hesitantly ask, “What… what did you just say?”
