Free Web NovelChapter 644: Old Blindman
Xu Xue secretly clicked her tongue. She punched the wild boar to death with just a few blows, that’s just too brutal.
Silently thinking for a moment, she recalled that she hadn’t offended Xu Mumu before. She had considered getting back at the big house people before, but after Xu Mumu exposed her secret, she became wary of Xu Mumu and didn’t dare to take revenge.
Thankfully, she hadn’t offended Xu Mumu, otherwise, if those fists landed on her, she wouldn’t be as tough-skinned as those wild boars.
"They’re quite big, but it was just a warm-up. I’m guessing I’ll never have the chance to use my full strength in this lifetime," Xu Mumu shook her hand. Only she knew how much enormous power was hidden beneath those fair fists.
This was just a warm-up!!
Xu Xue looked at Xu Mumu with envy, jealous of her having such immense strength, able to act without worry.
"Sis, how come you have such great strength?" Xia Chengyuan swallowed hard.
"I was born with it," Xu Mumu replied calmly.
At this time, in the village, Xu Wan came running back saying Xu Mumu had killed another wild boar and managed to kill two at once.
Yin Yang, who was chatting with Xu Minghui and others, immediately showed concern about Xu Mumu’s situation: "Mumu didn’t hurt her hands, did she?"
"Big sis is fine, she’s amazing. She killed two wild boars in an instant and asked me to come back and get people to bring the boars back," Xu Wan explained breathlessly.
The Xu Family was taken aback for a moment and quickly packed up their things heading up the mountain. It wasn’t the first time Xu Mumu had killed a wild boar, but this time it was more impressive, killing two at once.
The whole family went up the mountain, with Xu He walking behind everyone, pulling Xu Wan to ask questions.
"Did Mumu really kill the wild boar? You’re not pulling our leg, are you?" Xu He looked at his niece skeptically, finding it hard to believe that delicate-looking Xu Mumu could kill a boar.
"Why would I lie to you? Uncle and my dad both went. Big sis has killed a boar before," Xu Wan responded speechlessly. Lying about this would be easily exposed, wouldn’t it?
But considering that Uncle and the others hadn’t witnessed it before, she didn’t say anything more.
When they reached the place, Xu Mumu and the others were sitting on a rock chatting.
"Mumu, are you alright?" Yin Yang immediately ran over, checking if Xu Mumu was injured.
"I’m fine. You know my skills well enough, don’t you? Look, I’m perfectly fine," Xu Mumu twirled in front of Yin Yang, saying with a beaming smile.
"As long as you’re fine, I was so worried," Yin Yang said with a smile, feeling relieved. He also went to look at the two dead wild boars. Wow, they were really big. Looking at the bloody holes on the boars’ foreheads and then at his small wife smiling brightly, Yin Yang smiled helplessly.
"These two wild boars are huge. Did Mumu really kill them?" Xu He swallowed hard, finding it difficult to accept this as reality.
"Of course my daughter did it. My Mumu is very strong. Laosan, why are you standing there stunned? Come over and help, the boar’s blood is almost drained, we need to hurry and get them back to clean," Xu Hai said displeasedly, seeing Xu Laosan questioning his daughter.
"Coming, coming," Xu He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Uncle, big sis really did it, we all saw it, big sis is the strongest," Xu Jiaojiao immediately chimed in.
"Alright, alright, I got it," though still having difficulty accepting it, Xu He obediently helped carry the wild boars, thinking they could have an extra dish for dinner.
Tian Fang stared at the two wild boars for a while, thinking the Xu Family was really exaggerating, claiming Xu Mumu, with her thin arms and legs, killed them, her strength probably wasn’t even as good as hers.
They went to such great lengths to brag.
Looking again at Yin Yang showing concern for Xu Mumu, Tian Fang’s gaze darkened, enviously thinking there’s nothing wrong with Xu Mumu. Her face was so rosy, as if nothing had happened.
She thought it would be better if the boar killed Xu Mumu, that way she’d have fewer problems to deal with.
A group of men carried the two wild boars, heading down the mountain in a grand procession.
As they reached the bottom, they were spotted by the village people, who all gathered around.
The Xu Family managing to catch two such big wild boars aroused everyone’s envy. Wild boars are not easy to hunt, and the Xu Family actually caught two at once, without any injuries, it seemed.
"Hai, where did you catch these boars? Next time I’ll find a few people to go up the mountain too, maybe we can catch one to feast on," a middle-aged man, about the same age as Xu Hai, laughed heartily.
"These weren’t caught by me, it was our Mumu. Our Mumu has been strong since she was little. Catching a boar is easy for her. Luckily, this boar was injured, giving our Mumu an advantage," Xu Hai boasted with a proud smile. These were the words Xu Mumu taught him, better not draw too much attention.
Her strength is known in the family, but in front of outsiders, it’s better to say the boar was injured, making it less miraculous.
"Wow, Mumu is really lucky."
"Indeed, my daughter has been blessed since birth. The old blind man said so, Mumu is a lucky star," Li Caixia added more proudly, digging up the past. With restrictions gone, she now had the freedom to speak her mind, which she’d held back for a long time.
Mentioning the old blind man, many in the brigade knew about him.
The old blind man wasn’t local, but settled in the village decades ago. He didn’t have any other skills, but was particularly accurate at fortune-telling, his words never wrong.
Later on, with the promotion of science and the opposition to feudal superstition, the old blind man’s life became tougher. Still, some secretly sought his fortune-telling.
Who knew Li Caixia had also gone to consult with the old blind man.
The people of the brigade looked at Xu Mumu differently. The old blind man’s words proved right again, this girl was indeed blessed.
Li Caixia used to tell everyone how blessed Xu Mumu was, but never mentioned going to the old blind man, fearing criticism if it were known.
Xu Mumu felt the intense stares from around, their eyes like they were looking at a golden treasure. She was getting goosebumps.
And that old blind man, she too had heard Li Caixia mention him while reading, she only knew about it from her mother’s words.
Whether the old blind man really had skills, she didn’t know, but because of his words, the original owner lived quite comfortably at the Xu Family.
