The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

The ten eldest children finally seized the opportunity and got permission from their parents. They were not willing to give up, so they tried their best to persuade the little ones to go home through coaxing and deception.

The five beasts cleared the way in front, and Mo Yan asked his younger brothers, sisters, and the group of children to walk in the middle, while he placed himself at the end in case anyone got lost along the way. Fortunately, these naughty children are quite sensible. This is their first real adventure into the mountains, so they are particularly obedient.

It is late autumn now, most of the vegetation in the mountains has withered, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants are not as arrogant as in summer. There is no need to worry about being bitten by insects, or accidentally stepping on a snake and getting bitten.

The five beasts often go into the mountains and know where there is space or where there are fruit trees that are not available in the orchards. They take Mo Yan and the others through the mountains to look for those wild fruit trees.

The fruits on some shrubs are also very delicious and easy to pick. This group of children who rarely get to eat fruits are so happy that they can’t wait to pick them and stuff them into their mouths while holding a small basket. It didn't take long for the little basket to be full, and my belly was full.

The mountain road is not easy to walk on, and it is easy to roll down the hillside and get injured. There were so many children that Mo Yan couldn't help but take care of them, so after digging a few small fruit seedlings and picking some medicinal materials that were not available in the space, she went down the mountain with the children who still had unfinished business.

Mo Yan had good eyesight. As soon as she reached the mountain pass, she saw seven or eight villagers coming up the mountain from a distance. Seeing that they were the parents of the children in front, she thought they were worried about coming. As she got closer, she realized that these people had come specifically to see her.

"Girl Yan, hide the five beasts quickly. Several people came to your house with official servants. If your five beasts bit them, they want your family to take them out and compensate you. Each of them has five hundred taels of silver!" A sharp-tongued woman told the story with an anxious expression.

Regardless of whether the five beasts really hurt people or those people came to blackmail them deliberately, it is always difficult to tell clearly. Let the five beasts hide now, and if the Mo family refuses to admit it to death, the matter may be over.

My own child was saved by the five beasts. This time, I have to go to the Mo family no matter what, and I can't let the Mo family suffer. Sneaking up the mountain to report the news can be regarded as repaying this kindness, otherwise it will not be safe in my heart.

Mo Yan's expression changed. No one knew better than her whether the five beasts had hurt anyone. Those people who came to make trouble were obviously deliberately blackmailing. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, the people in the village will definitely feel that the five beasts are too dangerous and will not turn a blind eye like before. They might join forces to force her to deal with the five beasts.

No matter what, she must not hide the five beasts, otherwise others will only think that her family has a guilty conscience, and she will fall into the trap of those people. She would not allow anyone to harm the Five Beasts, nor would she give money to those people. She wanted to see who was causing trouble and harming their family.

Mo Yan took a deep breath and smiled at the worried villagers: "Thank you uncles and aunts for taking the risk to remind me, but my five beasts didn't hurt anyone, so how can I force them to hide? Those people dare to come to the door in broad daylight. Come to slander the five beasts, and I will seek justice for them from those few villains who came to blackmail you."

Seeing this, several villagers knew that they could not be persuaded anymore, so they had to say: "Girl Yan, we believe in the innocence of the five beasts. Don't worry, if that little guy really dares to do anything to the five beasts, we people will just use sticks." Even with the hoe, the person who stirred up trouble must be driven out of the village."

"Yes, the five beasts are good beasts that understand human nature. How can they make such villains disgusted?"
