The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: Sixteen Little Brothers (4)

In the evening, Yang Ruxin instructed Du Man to deliver the ointment to Chun Hua.

”Thank you, Sister Du Man.” Chun Hua expressed her gratitude.

”Chun Hua, I’ve been with the young lady for a longer time.” Du Man personally helped apply the ointment to Chun Hua’s knee and massaged away the bruising, ”so I might be a bit more familiar with these things than you.”

”Please share some of your insights with me, Sister Du Man.”

”... The young lady is very kind-hearted, truly, I’ve never seen a master like her. To her, although we are servants, we are more like her brothers and sisters...” Du Man smiled, ”But if anyone thinks that such a young lady is easy to bully, then they are wrong. She sees everything and everyone clearly. She treats us well and in return, she expects our loyalty... Why would she keep and protect a servant who can’t stand by her?” Saying this, she placed the bottle of ointment on the table, ”This bottle of Bruise Removal Ointment could sell for a hundred taels of silver outside.”

”I know.” Chun Hua bit her lip, ”I was mistaken before, but I won’t make that mistake again.”

Du Man patted Chun Hua’s hand, ”It’s great that you understand. In the future, the young lady will reach even greater heights, and we will be her close confidants. If she prospers, we will naturally be well too.”

Chun Hua nodded vigorously, ”From now on, my life belongs to the young lady.”

”Why would the young lady want your life? She just needs your loyalty. Don’t worry, our futures won’t be bleak...” Du Man thought of the dowry list Yang Ruxin had shown her and Du Juan earlier, not less than two thousand taels, and her face blushed a little.

”I heard that Official Shangguan is already a seventh-rank Colonel. When he returns, we’ll be able to drink wedding wine, right?” Chun Hua said with a face full of envy.

”What are you talking about?” Du Juan blushed even more, ”Just get some rest.” Then she turned and left.

Chun Hua lay down with a smile and drifted into dreamland.

From then on, Yang Ruxin remained very forgiving, yet no servant ever betrayed her again. But that’s another story.

As for Xiaohei, after venturing out alone for over ten days, he finally returned. Judging by his growth spurt, he must have eaten well, for he was now as big as his father. However, he seemed more spirited than his dad.

Yang Ruxin was naturally delighted about Xiaohei’s return, but when she saw the dark mass of creatures behind him, she twitched her mouth a bit. What was going on?

Xiaohei was excitedly jumping up and down.

It turned out that during that time, this guy had been recruiting followers and had already conquered more than half of the raptors in Xiaocang Mountain. Those following him were his newly recruited subordinates.

Yang Ruxin counted and found sixteen in total. The largest ones, which were about the same height as her, seemed to be eagles, while the smallest, only the size of her two palms, she couldn’t really identify...

Upon hearing the commotion, Dao Xuzi and Tang Wanqian ran over. They recognized the smallest ones as kites, small in size but not lacking in attack power, and very swift.

All were raptors; it wasn’t surprising to Yang Ruxin since Xiaohei’s family were top-grade eagles, so the ones he gathered couldn’t be vastly different in strength. But... what was up with those two owls? Weren’t these guys supposed to sleep during the day?

”These are not ordinary owls.” Tang Wanqian shook his head, ”They are a type of owl, but I don’t know their specific name, though they can be active both day and night...”
