Chapter 514: Previous Life in Fairy World Side Story One_2
 

He had originally planned to stay behind, and have his wife and daughter evacuate to the city with his eldest and second sister-in-law, along with his parents. However, his little girl was crying nonstop, gripping onto him tightly. Her tiny hand held strength that rivaled a tiger’s grip, almost tearing his clothes.

Ultimately, he did have his selfish reasons, so he decided to let his daughter remain with him.

A while ago, he saved up a lot of his daughter’s urine, intending to test it against a wave of beasts. If it worked, he could finally gather enough money to purchase a household registration.

At that time, he would let his wife and daughter move to the city, so they didn’t have to constantly live in fear in this place.

The Clan Leader, seeing the Jiang Family’s stubbornness, shook his head and walked away.

Watching the Clan Leader leave, the Jiang brothers quickly sorted out their house, hiding food supplies and water-filled Gourds in the root cellar. Firewood was also moved in, and quilts and other things were all placed into the root cellar.

The wave of beasts lasts more than two months, only receding when the first snow of winter descends. Therefore, food, water supplies, and necessities for warmth cannot be lacking.

However, taking shelter in the cellar has its drawbacks. Many of the Demonic Beasts have a keen sense of smell that surpasses even that of dogs. They can detect the scent of living humans and would not hesitate to dig through the ground to catch a human for consumption, which is why the villagers are afraid to stay.

On the third day of August, Xu Chunniang took advantage of the fact that the beast wave hadn’t fully arrived yet, making a lot of wheat buns and pulling up all the vegetables in the field to store them in the root cellar. She also pickled a jar of salted vegetables, which she stored next to the buns.

Jiang Sanlang spent these few days stocking up on firewood in the root cellar, securing the entrance tightly, leaving only a small opening to enter and exit.

Despite this, Chunniang’s heart was still in turmoil, holding her daughter tightly as she stood in the doorway of the courtyard to look out.

She could vaguely see small wild beasts darting out of the forest, but they always bypassed the Jiang family’s home and ran off into the distance.

By the tenth of August, a succession of giant beasts started to appear. Their swift movements made the ground tremble as they ran nearby.

Spring, cradling her daughter and hiding with her husband in the cellar, felt her heart beating so wildly it was constricting her throat.

It was her first experience with a beast wave’s terror. She asked her husband in a whisper, “Sanlang, what will we do if the beasts try to dig into the cellar?”

Jiang Sanlang, listening closely to the noises outside, reassured her in low voice, “It will be okay, none of the beasts have set foot in our territory. It seems our daughter’s urine can ward them off.”

He glanced at his little girl, whose laughter caused her eyes to squint, and sighed, patting her head saying, “It’s your dad who has wronged you, putting Bao’er in danger.”

Yingbao gabbled something, smearing drool on her dad’s sleeve.

On the fifteenth of August, the outside world was filled with roars from various beasts, causing Chunniang to turn pale with fright.

Jiang San ate his flatbread stuffed with salted vegetables, patting his wife’s shoulder in silent comfort.

At this time, the wild beasts outside caught a whiff of the strange smell surrounding the Jiang’s house, howled a few times, stepped back a few paces, and slowly bypassed their area.

Many young beasts, being clueless, sometimes wandered onto the Jiang family’s farmland, only to be driven away by the older beasts.

Jiang Dalang, watching this scene from a corner of the root cellar, also found it amazing.

Could his niece truly be the child of a great demon? Why else would all the giant beasts be afraid of even her urine?

His previously nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and his courage swelled. He called his second brother, who was sharing the root cellar with him, to relay what he had observed.

Jiang Erlang also found it shocking, immediately crawling through the connecting tunnel to the third brother to relay what their eldest brother conveyed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sanlang’s spirits lifted. He handed two pieces of soiled diaper cloth to his siblings, “Let’s venture out, we might be able to find some Spirit Grass.”

Many Spiritual Beasts that come from deep within the forest, such as the Flying Kangaroo, store Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicines in their pouches. Catching them would mean striking it rich.

However, these Spiritual Beasts are exceedingly elusive and good at disguising themselves. Some of them even like to hide beneath the bellies of giant beasts.

Jiang Erlang took the soiled diaper cloth from his niece without disdain and tucked it into his waistband.

Thus, Jiang Sanlang asked his older brother to stay in the cellar, while he went out with Erlang.

Of course, they also made full preparations, donning coats made of large fluffy dog skins, dog skin mittens for their hands and feet, and even a dog head hat.

Upon leaving the courtyard, Jiang Erlang saw a dense mass of fierce giant beasts nearby, his legs shaking involuntarily.

Despite the fear, once the bowstring is pulled it must be released. The pair steeled themselves and headed towards the giant beasts.

A giant beast sniffed the air and stepped back a few paces when they approached, eyeing the odd pair suspiciously.

Seeing that they didn’t attack, Jiang Sanlang’s heart relaxed a little. He started searching for the small Flying Rat.
