From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 777 - 773 (Additional Update 2)
Mu Shuangshuang fiercely finished scolding Lu Yuanfeng, then casually took Lu Yuanfeng’s shoes off his feet.
Lu Yuanfeng’s face turned red, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to Shuangshuang’s words.
Huang Da and Huang Er watched from the side, clicking their tongues in amusement. These two weren’t angry at all; they were clearly flirting!
But gobbling up this bowl of dog food doesn’t make one’s heart ache.
Lu Yuanfeng’s socks were completely soaked, and even Mu Shuangshuang felt distressed looking at them.
"You fool, not willing to take off your shoes. In such cold weather, if you let them freeze overnight, your feet will become ice sticks."
Mu Shuangshuang kept nagging, like a little wife.
Lu Yuanfeng wasn’t angry at all; instead, he seemed like he’d encountered something good, his mouth spreading in a grin, smiling non-stop.
"Still smiling, the socks also need to be taken off and dried!" Mu Shuangshuang said sternly once more.
Lu Yuanfeng’s smile grew even deeper.
The earlier awkwardness had completely vanished.
By the fire, Mu Shuangshuang used a stick to place Lu Yuanfeng’s shoes properly, waiting for them to dry, and intended to help Lu Yuanfeng mend them as soon as they did.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone started chatting.
The topic was, of course, the wolf pack they encountered today.
"Huang Da got injured; tomorrow we must go out and find some medicine."
Since Mu Shuangshuang is from the modern age, she understands more about the harm caused by infected wounds.
But Huang Da is indeed something; such a large chunk of flesh was torn off from him, and he hasn’t shouted in pain even once.
Instead, he’s joining in the laughter and talks.
If you didn’t notice his pale, frightening face, it really wouldn’t seem like he was injured.
"By the way, did anyone bring alcohol?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"Our brothers brought it." Huang Da pointed to a water sack hanging at Huang Er’s waist.
"Big Brother, my alcohol... was used to start the fire earlier, there’s nothing in the water sack now."
"I did." Lu Yuanfeng said, then took his own water sack from his waist and handed it to Mu Shuangshuang.
He didn’t question anything, just followed Mu Shuangshuang’s instructions.
Mu Shuangshuang tossed the water sack to Huang Er, "Alcohol can disinfect; you wash Huang Da with it, I brought some cloth along, tear it open and help Huang Da bandage him, even the strongest body must be treated well."
Huang Da and Huang Er were both rough guys; even if they were injured, they only wiped the bloodstains from the wound clean, never paying attention to things like disinfection.
Mu Shuangshuang’s care for the two brothers actually made them feel increasingly embarrassed.
"Miss Shuangshuang, Brother Fengzi, today our lives were saved by you two, as per the previous agreement, whatever you want us brothers to do, we’ll do, we won’t take any benefits from you."
Earlier when Mu Shuangshuang asked the Huang Brothers for help, it was paid help, a form of employment relationship.
Now it’s akin to a master-servant relationship.
"Huang Da, we’ll call on you and Fengzi for help; as for you saying you don’t want a penny, Shuangshuang cannot agree, and you don’t know what help I’m going to ask for. Let’s put that aside for now." Mu Shuangshuang said.
Huang Da was deeply moved; this young girl, already so mature and sensible, he feels there’ll definitely be a day he hits it big following Mu Shuangshuang.
"Alright, we’ll discuss it later." Huang Dao said.
"But today we didn’t catch anything, and tomorrow we have to get down the mountain early, are we just going down empty-handed?" Huang Er asked.
Going up the mountain to hunt was for the sake of prey.
But now it’s already dark; it’s impossible to choose to go out hunting from the cave at this time.
"Don’t worry about hunting; I checked around the area in the afternoon, I know where the jackals’ den is, after the fight with the wolves today, the jackals must have suffered heavy losses, tomorrow we’ll go straight to the jackals’ den."
Lu Yuanfeng indeed suits this line of work, he grasped the affairs in the mountains thoroughly in no time.
After this event, it’s hard for the Huang Brothers not to be impressed.
After resting overnight, early the next morning, Huang Da stayed in the cave to recover while Mu Shuangshuang and the other three went to find the jackals’ den that Lu Yuanfeng mentioned.
Sure enough, the battle between jackals and wolves had killed off most of the robust jackals in the den, and thanks to Lu Yuanfeng’s skills, they caught six jackals.
In town, jackal pelts aren’t cheap, plus they were alive; according to Lu Yuanfeng, one could sell for two taels of silver, which means just this trip earned them twelve taels of silver.
For a farmer’s family, this money could renovate a new house and buy three to four acres of land, so it can be considered a considerable harvest.
The four returned down the mountain happily; Mu Shuangshuang gave the Huang Brothers the two taels of silver they deserved, making the jackal sale unrelated to them.
The brothers returned to Tie Dao Village happily, not stopping at Er Gui Village.
"Fengzi, do you say these Huang Brothers really aren’t greedy? I offered them four taels, yet they only wanted two." Mu Shuangshuang spoke casually once Huang Da and Huang Er were far away.
Lu Yuanfeng understood and explained to Mu Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, hunters have their rules too, I guess the Huang Brothers feel this trip only deserved that much silver.
Speaking of it, their changes are all thanks to Shuangshuang."
No one would have thought that not long ago, the Huang Brothers were stealing and swindling in the village, even hunting required snatching from other hunters.
So, when people change for the better, it does happen quite fast.
"I didn’t do anything special; these two kids aren’t inherently bad, just went down the wrong path, they can still be saved."
Blaming the occupational hazards of Mu Shuangshuang, she was used to teaching criminals as a member of a security team in her past life and those habits still occasionally influence her thoughts.
"Shuangshuang is really impressive." Lu Yuanfeng complimented Mu Shuangshuang generously.
Mu Shuangshuang blushed, turning her head away while looking at the jackals tied with hemp ropes by Lu Yuanfeng, unable to suppress her curiosity.
"Fengzi, do you think when we bring back so many jackals, will the villagers come to watch us?"
"Of course, but these jackals aren’t easy to deal with; after lunch, I’ll take them all to the market to sell."
After all, these are live animals; keeping them at Lu Yuanfeng’s home could risk damage or something.
They returned before lunchtime, but the village was quiet; the snow hadn’t melted yet.
Walking on the snow, Mu Shuangshuang shivered from the cold.
Without saying a word, Lu Yuanfeng took off his coat and draped it over Mu Shuangshuang.
"What are you doing? I’m not cold, quickly put your clothes back on."
In the dead of winter, taking off one’s own cotton clothes to give to someone else, Lu Yuanfeng was the first.
"Shuangshuang, I’m holding a jackal; the warmth from its body will transfer to me." Lu Yuanfeng said, then picked up a smaller jackal from the ground.
