Chapter 16: Innate Divine Power
Soon, the two old women started fighting. At this time, the village head also rushed to the front, taking a deep breath at the sight of the wild boar.
Yun Nian’an listened to the chatter of the people around her, some envious, some admiring, but most were jealous.
After the village head asked a few questions,
Yun Nian’an said, “Village head, after I woke up, I felt incredibly strong. Listening to my grandpa and grandma, it should be that I have endless strength in my body, it must be like my great-grandfather.”
The village head’s eyes lit up when he heard Yun Nian’an say this, “You mean the divine power of the heavens?”
Yun Nian’an nodded, and the people around her immediately started discussing.
The previous generation of the Yun family did have someone with divine power from the heavens. It was said that he was a person who escorts goods for protection.
Later, he offended someone and was crippled.
Unable to be a escorts goods for protection anymore, he found a woman in the surrounding villages and married her.
Yun Laotou sighed as he listened to the villagers’ discussions. His father was also a pitiful man, he traveled south and north when he was young, with a lot of skills.
But unfortunately, he was too honest and didn’t know how to adapt, which is why he offended people.
Yun Laotai whispered to Yun Nian’an, “My dear, you really have endless strength.”
Yun Nian’an nodded, “Grandma, I also had a dream, I dreamed of my great-grandfather. He said he gave me the power to be strong, and asked me to protect the Yun family.”
Yun Laotai laughed, “You are truly my lucky star! From now on, the entire Yun family will be protected by our dear one!”
Yun Nian’an giggled, but Yun Laotai sighed!
If the secret of her immense strength was revealed, it would be directly told by her granddaughter.
She didn’t hide it, but having some skills was always good.
After all, times are tough! We even have to flee famine, having divine power will protect us wherever we go.
Wang Laotai walked over and looked at the wild boar, her mouth watering. Her family hadn’t seen any meat for a long time, and this wild boar should be taken from the Yun family.
But thinking about how the Yun family had been at odds with their Wang family since the little fool woke up,
There were so many people in the village! She didn’t believe that the Yun family would dare to eat it all by themselves and not share the wild boar with the other villagers.
Thinking about this, she directly said, “I say, Yun family, times are hard, the things on the mountain are all free for the taking, you didn’t pay a single copper coin, and you didn’t even put in any effort to get such a big wild boar!
You can’t just eat it all by yourselves, and watch us old folks eat chaff and swallow vegetables.”
She then looked at Yun Laotai.
Yun Laotai snorted coldly, “You know it’s free for the taking, right? Since it’s free for the taking on the mountain, then whoever catches it is theirs.
How can my granddaughter risk her life to catch a wild boar from the mountain, and then share it with you, an old woman?”
After Wang Laotai finished speaking, the people around her widened their eyes. They didn’t dare to speak because Yun Laotai was not someone to be trifled with.
If they angered her, she might scratch them at any time.
So they let Wang Laotai do the talking, as long as she could get some wild boar meat from the Yun family, they would naturally get some too.
Wang Laotai snorted, “Although whoever catches it is theirs, your granddaughter is only ten years old! How could she catch such a big wild boar!
It must be that God gave you a meal, and your granddaughter happened to pick up the wild boar.
The wild boar must be for the villagers in our village, besides, how can your family eat a whole wild boar?”
At this time, the village head spoke, “Wang family, why is your mouth so greedy? If you want to eat, let your son go up the mountain and catch one.”
“Worried about a little girl risking her life to hunt on the mountain… what for? Shameless!”
Wang Laotai was not angry when the village head reprimanded her in front of the villagers. After all, what was face worth?
People were about to starve to death, so she didn’t care what the village head said.
Wang Laotai was unwilling to leave, she stayed at the entrance of the Yun family’s house.
She also wouldn’t let the Yun family carry the wild boar into the courtyard.
She started shouting, “Oh my god! Heaven doesn’t want us to live, you, the village head, don’t you have any responsibility?
You are the head of the village, don’t you see us old women and men starving to death at home?
The wild boar must weigh over 200 jin, even if each family gets a little bit, we can have some oil and water in our stomachs and last a few more days!”
After saying this, she looked at the villagers around her and said, “I’m telling you, you are all so… I’m doing this for all the villagers!
Don’t you want it just because I, an old woman, am the only one speaking?”
When the people around heard this, four families immediately jumped out.
These four families had always been close to the Wang family.
Wu Laotou jumped out and spoke first, “Yun Laotou! What Wang Laotai said is right, times are hard, you can’t just eat it all by yourselves!
There are over 200 jin of wild boar meat, you can give each family a little, it’s fine if your family gets more.”
Yun Laotou didn’t say anything, hearing the old man in the village say such a thing, he snorted coldly and looked at the village head.
“Village head, you said that the rules passed down from generation to generation in our village are that things on the mountain are ownerless? Whoever catches it is theirs?”
The village head nodded, “That’s right.”
Yun Laotou looked up at the people around him, “Since it’s ours, then we’ll decide.
Our family will keep 100 jin of pork, and the remaining 100 jin can be divided among the villagers.”
When everyone present heard Yun Laotou say this, they were all excited.
After Yun Laotou finished speaking, he paused and looked at the few families who had jumped out, “Since the wild boar is ours, we’ll decide!
We won’t give it to your five families, the remaining villagers will share the 100 jin of wild boar meat.”
The other villagers who were watching were overjoyed, but no one spoke up for the five families.
Those five families were the lazy and gluttonous ones in the village, although the onlookers were envious and jealous, they were more or less sensible and not as aggressive.
Things on the mountain, whether it was wild chicken, wild rabbit, or wild eggs in the forest, children would often go up the mountain to try their luck.
To see if they could pick up a bird egg or something to eat.
So no one ever cared, besides, Yun Laotou had many sons, they couldn’t argue with him, and they wouldn’t dare to fight.
Some people thought that Yun Laotou’s little girl must have some good fortune.
When she was young, an old Taoist priest passed by and said that as long as the little girl woke up, she would have good fortune and a prosperous and wealthy life.
And after the Taoist priest finished speaking, according to common sense, any scammer would have asked for some silver, even if they didn’t want silver, they would have asked for a meal or something.
But after the Taoist priest finished speaking, Yun Laotai was happy and wanted to give him a few copper coins, but he refused!
He even said that it was his good fortune to meet Yun Laotou’s little girl.
