Zhou Ying shook her head.

This method was sound, but what could they do even if they heard the bell ringing? By then, the wild beasts would have already rushed into the village, so it was ineffective.

Fortunately, nothing else came down the mountain over the next few days.

It made sense. Leopards were not to be trifled with. If they were forced to come down the mountains, it meant that there were no animals left. Naturally, there would be nothing coming down the mountains.

Five days later, all the villages in the town were cleared, including the roads to the county.

Gu Chengrui had temporarily returned to the clinic to treat the injured and sick.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the village turned cold because most of the families had gone to funerals.

On this day, Zhou Ying was in the back storing more ice when she suddenly heard Er Zhuangs bark.

She saw Gu Ziyi and Mrs. w.a.n.g walking in when she walked out.

She hurriedly stopped Er Zhuang and let them into the house.

After making a cup of chrysanthemum tea for each of them, she asked, Aunty, big sister, what brings you here?

I have something to ask; wow, your room is warm. Mrs. w.a.n.g sat down and rubbed her frozen face, then covered the teacup with both hands.

I bought a lot of firewood this year, so we have a little more to spare. We do have to treat ourselves sometimes, right? Zhou Ying smiled and poured herself a cup of tea before sitting down.

Auntie, you said you had something to ask. What is it? he asked.

Its not a big deal. Chengsis wife is pregnant, so she wants to eat a few mouthfuls of meat to nourish her and her child.

In addition, its almost the twelfth lunar month, so we wanted to buy a cow from you to celebrate the new year. I dont know if its convenient for you. Mrs. w.a.n.g explained her reason for coming.

If its convenient, Id like to buy a sheep too. Gu Ziyi said.

Thats fine, but isnt it a little too early? The meat wont be fresh if left for too long. Zhou Ying said.

Its fine. Its cold this year. If we put it in the snow, the meat wont go bad before it melts. We can store it for a few more months. Mrs. w.a.n.g explained.

Zhou Ying didnt try to persuade them again but asked, When do you guys want it?

Within two days if possible. At that point, Mrs. w.a.n.g hesitated and asked, Regarding the price?

I will charge you the same price as before all these disasters. The cattle for 20 taels each, and the sheep for 5 taels each. Zhou Ying gave her the price.

Alright, then you can send them over in the next two days when its convenient?

Do you want to slaughter them on your own?

Not having to do that is better.

Alright, its still early now. 111 go over to the manor in a while and bring the meat back before dark.

By the way, youve been married for two years. Why havent you had a child yet? Mrs. w.a.n.g asked at this moment.

Were not in a hurry. Well wait until this disaster is over. Otherwise, it will be bad when we cant eat anything. Zhou Ying replied with a smile.

Thats true. Our village is lucky to be supported by white sweet potatoes. Otherwise, we would be starving to the point of lying in our beds, let alone having children. Mrs. w.a.n.g nodded in agreement.

But Im afraid there arent many chickens left in the village. Its hard even to eat an egg. Gu Ziyi complained.

Sister, dont let anyone hear about this. Otherwise, therell be thieves coming into your house. Zhou Ying warned Gu Ziyi.

Indeed. Nowadays, dont say you have food no matter where you go. Otherwise, its easy to attract hatred from the ma.s.ses. Mrs. w.a.n.g nodded in agreement.

After chatting and drinking two cups of tea, the mother-daughter pair left.

Zhou Ying packed up and dressed up like a ball of cotton. She locked the door and rushed to the manor with Er Zhuang, fitted in a cotton-padded jacket.

Uncle Nian was momentarily surprised when he saw Er Zhuang in clothes. He smiled and patted the dogs head, saying, Wow, Er Zhuang is wearing a cotton

coat..
