The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 200 - 200 200 Hands and Feet Frozen Stiff

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Hands and Feet Frozen Stiff Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Hands and Feet Frozen Stiff Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang was taken aback, as if she hadn’t expected Ya Molian to say that, but then shook her head.

“Raising a wolf at home? That’s definitely not possible.”

Wolves are animals that, even when raised by humans, are difficult to domesticate. What if it bites someone?

“Not in the house; how about Manghuang Mountain?”, Ya Molian suggested.

“Manghuang Mountain…”

Lin Caisang took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, raising a hand to wipe her chubby round face.

She was worried that she was alone on Manghuang Mountain. Even if her own brother were with her, they would not be able to withstand the combined forces of Liu Baixiao and Liu Rumei. For their own gains, these two would surely harden their skin to be impenetrable to a knife.

Stealing things was nothing compared to that.

“Yes, how many are there?”, she asked instantly without considering the implications.

“Four,” replied Ya Molian.

“Wait until they grow up a bit and then I’ll bring them to you.”

“No, bring them tomorrow,” responded Lin Caisang urgently.

“If I’m going to raise this kind of wild animal, I’d have to raise them personally from the start. Otherwise, they won’t take kindly to me and might end up biting me.”

She will now raise four wolves and see if the entire family of Liu Baixiao dares to make trouble with her. If they do dare to come, she would open the gate and let the wolves out; that should directly scare the wits out of the whole family.

“Okay.”

…

By the time Ya Molian and Lin Caisang reached Wang Town, it was already midnight.

Even so, the town was brightly lit and none of the houses where silkworms were raised had closed for the night. There were several people in each silkworm house staring intently without batting an eye, fearing that another batch of silkworm larvae might die.

In a large silkworm house, just after Ya Molian and Lin Caisang had entered, they saw seven or eight people walking around, occasionally parting the mulberry leaves with their hands to check if there was anything unusual with the silkworm larvae inside.

Upon entering, they could immediately feel a chill rushing towards them. Lin Caisang felt so cold that all her body hairs stood up, and she raised her hand to rub her cheek.

Seeing this, Ya Molian immediately took off his outer garment and put it on her.

“Wrap it around yourself, the evening is chilly.”

Lin Caisang: “…”

Brother Molian, are you sure it’s the evening chill, and not that this room is freezing cold? Yet, oddly enough, she didn’t know how to speak up about this, because where she looked, the charcoal was still glowing, seemingly burning nonstop.

Yet, this charcoal had absolutely no effect; the room was still freezing cold.

“How is it going? Is there anything unusual?”

Ya Molian opened his mouth to ask a man in black clothing.

“Lor… sir, you’re here. Nothing unusual at present, our people are keeping an eye on it.”

The man glanced at Lin Caisang standing beside Ya Molian, promptly swallowed down the word “lord” on the tip of his tongue, and replied.

“What about other places?”, Ya Molian further inquired.

“We switch news every hour, there was no abnormality half an hour ago, so I believe everything should be alright here.” The man said this, but his face was full of helplessness.

“Is everything alright?”

Lin Caisang slightly bit her red lips, then stretched out her hand, picked up a mulberry leaf near her, and handed it to Ya Molian.

“Brother Molian, look, these silkworm larvae are starting to stiffen. I think they might be frozen.”

Upon hearing her words, both Ya Molian and the man in black looked at the mulberry leaf in her hand, but they both looked at her with furrowed brows in confusion.

“Ma’am, these silkworm larvae are fine, there is no…”

“You misunderstood me. I was saying that my hands and feet are so cold they’re almost frozen stiff. Don’t you feel it?” Lin Caisang’s gaze swept over the others before finally returning to the man in black.
