The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 534: Past Life Extra Story Eight_1
 

Yingbao hesitated, unsure whether she should go over and identify herself.

“Baobao? Is that you?” Chunniang finally voiced out her question.

Yingbao’s tears gushed out in an instant as she threw herself into Chunniang’s arms, “Mom.”

“Baobao? Is that really you?” Chunniang choked up, carefully observing Yingbao’s face.

Indeed, it was her Baobao. Though she had become skinny and tanned, there was no doubt that her facial features were Yingbao’s.

Chunniang quickly pulled Yingbao back into the house and closed the doors and windows.

Seeing his little girl, Jiang Sanlang could not hold back his tears, “Baobao, have you been well these past years?”

Yingbao nodded, “I escaped.”

“I know. Some people from the Chen Family came to ask about you recently, and I knew something was wrong,” Jiang Sanlang said with a choked sob, touching his daughter’s buzz-cut head. “What have they done to you? Tell daddy.”

His daughter looked to have suffered greatly. The once cheerful little girl now appeared frail and withered.

Her two younger brothers came over, looking curiously at their sister.

Their memory of their sister had already blurred; they could barely remember her.

Yingbao recounted what happened to her at the Chen Family, and concluded, “Dad, mom, why don’t you come with me.”

Chunniang was frightened by her daughter’s experience. Holding her and crying inconsolably, she examined her and discovered that the scales on her back were gone; only a large scar remained.

“Those damned people from the Chen Family, how dare they harm my child!” Chunniang couldn’t stop crying as she touched the scar on Yingbao’s back.

The skin on her back was taken away by a cultivator from the Chen Family using a blade because he wanted to use the scales for refining.

Jiang Sanlang was silent for a long time before he said, “Baobao, we will go with you. But we need to inform your grandparents first.”

He knew if they didn’t leave, they would definitely hold back their daughter as the cultivator from the Chen Family wouldn’t give up so easily.

Yingbao nodded, standing up, “Then I’ll return to the forest first to find a place for you to settle down. I’ll come to pick you up after a month.”

Chunniang grabbed her daughter, whispering, “Don’t leave just yet, let me prepare some good food for you to bring.”

So Yingbao sat down again.

Chunniang and her husband took out all the meat they had in the house, boiling and steaming it. They also made a lot of rice balls and bread with rice and flour.

They even boiled all the eggs, which totaled over thirty.

As the couple busied themselves in the kitchen, Yingbao told her two younger brothers about the insects and wild animals in the forest. She also gave them two long daggers for self-defense.

It was late at night when Yingbao had a meal with her family and then left with plenty of dry food.

The flying rat wanted to follow her, but Yingbao threw it back into the house and told it to continue taking care of the home.

Yingbao then quickly walked into the forest, releasing Xiaohua from her arms and riding it deep into the forest.

After searching a while in the forest, she finally found the cave of blood-sucking bats that she had found previously.

When she entered the cave, the blood-sucking bats were frightened and fled.

Yingbao stopped at the entrance of the previously narrow passage and took out a Spirit Sword. She manipulated it to carve the small passage into a circular hole large enough for a person to crawl through.

Putting Xiaohua back into her arms, she slowly crawled into the round hole. After she came out from the other end, she looked around.

This place seemed to be a naturally formed secret realm, about ten times the size of the Jiang Family village. There were no large animals inside, only small creatures like snakes, insects, rats, and rabbits.

There were a lot of Spirit Grass and wild Spirit Fruit inside the secret realm, all of them being mid-level varieties.

It should be a decent place for her parents to live. As long as they farmed some land to grow Spiritual Wheat and Spiritual Rice, they wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink.

Yingbao walked around the secret realm, captured several potential dangerous giant pythons into the Divine Mansion and released them far away. She gave each of them a few High-Level Spiritual Medicine, saying, “I set you free, you must behave and not hurt any humans with the surname Jiang.”

The giant pythons stared blankly at their surroundings, nodded to Yingbao, picked up the High-level Spiritual Medicine, and slithered away.

They were indeed trapped there for a long time and had not evolved for many years. They were naturally happy to finally be free.

After Yingbao had cleared the dangerous creatures in the secret realm, she started to rearrange it.

She brought in huge rocks to divide the bat cave in half; inside, another passage was opened to another area to facilitate travel for her parents.

Of course, the exit had to be concealed and hidden using formations to ensure absolute security.

After all this work, over twenty days had passed.

Yingbao then went into the forest to bring back some giant bamboo and wood to build houses for her parents in the secret realm.

Next, she made a trip to the county town and bought many tools and farming utensils. She also bought a pair of oxen, a male, and a female, for breeding.
