Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 602 - 241: The Gratitude of Great Wilderness Village
Nighttime.
Xu Binghu returned home, carrying a pile of trophies from his hunt, as well as a considerable amount of Demon Beast Heart Blood that the two of them no longer needed.
Upon his arrival, he saw Xiao Bai sitting by Xu Ran’s side.
"Xiao Bai, I thought you went deep into the Great Mountain today. Why are you back?"
Lian Ji, "Xiao Bai came back early and hasn’t gone out since."
Xu Binghu, "Then that’s fine, I was worried Xiao Bai went to the Great Mountain to see the Demon Kings and something happened. As long as everything is okay."
Saying this, Xu Binghu picked up the roasted lamb he had prepared earlier and began eating heartily.
"Now, almost everyone in the village has gone hunting in the Great Mountain; their energy is truly vigorous!" Xu Binghu remarked with some emotion.
"This morning when going into the mountain, I saw several families taking their children hunting too."
This was unimaginable in the past.
"Let the villagers go hunting if they want, as long as everything is fine." Xu Ran said as he ate.
Xu Binghu took another bite of meat and said, "Also, Old Qi has gone into the mountain. He even became a teacher for that group of kids."
"Back in our day, we didn’t have such opportunities, having Old Qi personally teaching in the wild."
Xu Binghu felt a bit envious.
When they were learning hunting skills, it was all classroom-based; Old Qi never dared to teach them face-to-face.
"With Grandpa Qi and so many experienced uncles around, there won’t be any problems..."
...
Matchmaker Village.
Cui Hua left early in the morning, carrying portraits and information of young men and women from the Great Wilderness Border Village.
Meanwhile, with the help of the marriageable young people’s families in the Great Wilderness Border Village, she collected enough Beast Blood and herbs, and completed the first Body Refining.
She transformed from being a frail middle-aged woman who had crossed fifty, into a strong person able to lift 200 pounds with one hand!
Matchmaker Village is a hundred meters away from Great Wilderness Border Village, yet she returned effortlessly without resting.
Upon her return, a group of matchmakers gathered at the door to welcome her back.
"Cui Hua, you finally came back; we all thought you wouldn’t make it."
"Yeah, we were really worried about you."
"The world is too dangerous now, it’s too risky to go so far alone."
...
The matchmakers spoke one after another, but Cui Hua couldn’t understand a word.
"What are you all talking about?" Cui Hua asked.
At this time, Aunt Mei came out and explained, "Shortly after you left, the matchmaker who went to Stone Village returned, with the same situation you described: the entire village was wiped out."
"Apparently, they died from poisoning, bitten by venomous snakes."
"It’s been days since you went to Great Wilderness Border Village; we thought you might have been bitten by snakes halfway."
"Seeing you back now, it’s good that nothing happened!!"
"In the meantime, just don’t go out, let’s put the matchmaking aside for now."
Aunt Mei said with some relief.
Upon hearing this, Cui Hua spoke directly, "Why? I brought back all the portraits of the young people from Great Wilderness Border Village, they are in such a hurry, I cannot delay!"
For Cui Hua, the matters of the Great Wilderness Border Village were most important, after all, she had promised Xu Ran to do well in exchange for the Body Refining Manual.
Moreover, the venomous snake issue had been resolved, there was nothing to worry about.
The matchmakers thought Cui Hua was being reckless and quickly tried to dissuade her.
"Cui Hua, are you not afraid of death? How dare you go out now??"
"Cui Hua, two villages are already gone—two villages!!"
"Nearly a thousand people, each village’s death was so tragic, their bones turned black."
At this point, Aunt Mei also spoke.
"Cui Hua, listen to me, let’s endure for now, live a little rough if we must, and wait until no more snake massacres occur before going out."
It must be said, Aunt Mei genuinely cared about everyone.
But Cui Hua had already made up her mind, she looked at everyone with determined eyes.
"First, even if there are snake massacres, staying in the village won’t necessarily save us. What wiped out Stone Village and Chicken Fate Village?"
"Second, who told you there would be more snake massacres in the future?"
"Third, I’ve finally gained the favor of everyone in Great Wilderness Border Village; I can’t just give it up."
"Fourth, and most importantly, the Great Wilderness Border Village people have already resolved the snake massacre situation."
With that, she gently pushed, causing the crowd around her to stagger back several paces, with a few matchmakers even falling to the ground.
The matchmakers stared wide-eyed at Cui Hua, full of disbelief.
Even though they were all matchmakers past their fifties, Cui Hua was too!
Moreover, Cui Hua had been one of the weaker matchmakers in the village, how could she now easily push them away?
Something’s off! Very much off!!
The first to react was Aunt Mei.
"Cui Hua, what is this??"
Cui Hua squinted her eyes and said, "It’s a secret!!"
She had promised Xu Ran not to disclose this matter.
Then, as she was about to leave, Aunt Mei called out to her.
"Wait a moment..."
Cui Hua turned her head and asked, "Aunt Mei, is there something else? I still need to prepare the matchmaking for the people in Great Wilderness Border Village."
Aunt Mei looked at Cui Hua and asked, "Did you just say the snake massacre situation was already resolved by the people in Great Wilderness Border Village?"
Cui Hua nodded but then shook her head.
Now, everyone was confused, "Cui Hua, what do you mean? Nodding and then shaking your head?"
