Chapter 566: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 566: An Incident (3)
Although Liu Tinglan wanted to finish the whole fish, she generously gave the remaining half to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua, however, refused to eat food from anyone other than Mo Yan, especially food that had been touched by others. The fish was no exception. Ignoring Liu Tinglan’s calls, Xiao Hua sulked by the water’s edge, staring despondently at the fish swimming in the stream.
Liu Tinglan felt a pang of sympathy and was about to suggest that Mo Yan's punishment might have been too harsh when suddenly, they heard Liu’s anxious voice from the opposite mountain: “Lan’er, Yan girl, where are you?”
Mo Yan and Liu Tinglan quickly stood up and called back in unison, “Uncle (Dad), we’re over here!”
In the next moment, Master Liu and a few others appeared on the opposite side of the ravine. Normally calm and composed, Master Liu’s face was now filled with panic. “Yan girl, come quickly, your father... your father is in trouble!”
Seeing Master Liu's disheveled appearance, Mo Yan instinctively felt something serious was wrong. Upon hearing Master Liu’s words, her vision went dark, and her legs went weak. Liu Tinglan, quick to react, caught her.
“Yan Yan, listen to my father first. Don’t scare yourself!” Liu Tinglan said anxiously, fearing for Mo Yan’s wellbeing.
“Lan’er, don’t worry, I’m fine!” Mo Yan leaned on Liu Tinglan, gradually regaining her strength.
Mo Yan had experienced many things in her past and present lives. Although the sudden bad news initially shocked her, she quickly regained her composure. As she walked towards the opposite side of the ravine, she asked Mr. Liu about her father’s condition in detail.
“Yan girl, don’t worry too much. Your father was bitten by a wild beast on his back and has lost a lot of blood. His life isn’t in danger for now. It’s just that the beast was too strong. Despite our numbers, we couldn’t harm it and got scratched by it instead!”

Master Liu spoke with lingering fear. In all his years, he had never seen a beast with a golden coat, about the size of an adult ox, and as tall as a seventeen-year-old youth on all fours. It was truly terrifying.
Hearing this, Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Not pausing to ask what kind of beast it was, she quickly determined her father’s exact location. She mounted Xiao Hua and told the stunned Liu family members, “Uncle, Lan’er, and all the uncles, I’ll go ahead. You come slowly and be careful not to get hurt.”
Master Liu and the others snapped back to their senses and urged, “Go quickly and find your father. Take him down the mountain to find a doctor. We’ll be careful!”
Mo Yan nodded, patting Xiao Hua lightly. “Let’s go!”
As soon as the words were out, everyone saw a flash of silver, and by the time they focused again, Mo Yan and Xiao Hua had vanished, leaving only the swirling leaves stirred up by the gust of wind.
Understanding the urgency, Xiao Hua ran swiftly, even over rough mountain paths. After crossing three peaks, they heard a thunderous roar of the beast from the nearby forest.
Mo Yan listened intently but couldn’t identify the beast’s roar. However, the fact that the beast could fight off over a hundred laborers meant it was formidable. She suspected it might be the same golden beast that, like the large black cat that guarded the herb field, had developed spiritual intelligence.
But why would such a ferocious beast appear on the outskirts of Yuhua Mountain, where even wild boars were rare?
Unable to figure out the reason, Mo Yan released Da Bai and Mao Tuan from her space.
The moment Da Bai and Mao Tuan appeared, they darted towards the distant mountain top, quickly disappearing from view.
Seeing this, Xiao Hua howled and increased its speed. By the time they arrived, Da Bai and Mao Tuan were already engaged in battle with the golden beast, roaring fiercely and causing the surrounding vegetation to be tossed about.
Han Zhiyun and Master Lu, unaware that Da Bai and Mao Tuan were Mo Yan’s pets, thought it was just a fight between wild animals and didn’t intervene. They were about to take Mo Qingze and the other injured people down the mountain to find a doctor when Mo Yan arrived with Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua set Mo Yan down and immediately joined the fray. With Xiao Hua’s assistance, Da Bai and Mao Tuan, who had been at a disadvantage, gradually turned the tide and fought the golden beast to a standstill.
At this moment, Mo Qingze, having lost too much blood, had fallen into a coma. His blood-stained clothes looked extremely alarming. Mo Yan’s face turned pale, her hands trembling as she took out a water pouch from her waist. With Han Zhiyun’s help, she poured the spiritual spring water into her father’s mouth.
After administering the spiritual spring water, Mo Yan carefully cut away her father’s blood-soaked clothing, revealing eight gaping, bloody wounds. Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw the severity of the injuries.
Seeing the wounds on her friend’s back, Han Zhiyun was shocked and distressed. Concerned that Mo Yan might be overwhelmed, he quickly reassured her, “Yan girl, don’t worry! Your father’s wounds look terrible, but they didn’t damage his internal organs. With some rest at home, he will recover!”
Mo Yan nodded silently and quickly poured the remaining spiritual spring water over her father’s wounds, carefully cleaning them. The spiritual water had a certain hemostatic effect and helped to thoroughly cleanse the wounds, preventing infection.
Once the eight bloody holes were cleaned, Mo Yan saw that even the shallowest wounds were deep. She wished she could immediately kill the golden beast to avenge her father. She applied a thick layer of special powdered medicine to the wounds, and within moments, the bleeding stopped.
