In the Future You’re Called Silver!

With Du Xiu Heng gone, Du Xiao Li prepared a fully packed schedule. She trained her body, went up the mountain to dig medical ingredients, wait until she’s gathered a lot, and have them brought to Niu Jing’s place. Now, Niu Jing was no longer surprised at her digging up some rare ingredients. If there were ones he needed, he would keep them, and the remaining ones he would let Leng Er take to the medicine shop in town to sell.

This day, Du Xiao Li planned to go into the mountains to see the tangerine they’d unexpectedly discovered last time again. That’s why she’d entered the mountains early in the morning. This time she didn’t waste time, and directly headed towards that valley. After climbing over a few mountains, she finally saw that tangerine forest again.

“Ah–” Arriving at the tangerine forest, she finally found the smell of her past life. She couldn’t help closing her eyes and smelling the underripe scent coming from the tangerines.

(T/N: Do underripe tangerines smell different from ripe ones??)

“Awooo–” Suddenly, a wild beast’s whimpering cry came from the slopes above. She curiously pa.s.sed through the forest, and unexpectedly, at the edge of the tangerine forest, she saw two grape trees.  On it hung several cl.u.s.ters of faintly green grapes, and there were a few cl.u.s.ters that were already somewhat turning red.

“There’s actually grapes here!” Du Xiao Li was extremely happy inside from seeing the grapes.

In her past life, she liked eating grapes the most, but ever since coming here, she hadn’t seen any for sale. At first, she even thought that it wasn’t in season, but right now was precisely the time for grapes to mature, yet she didn’t see any. Afterwards, she asked Du Xiu Heng, finally learning that this kind of fruit simply didn’t exist here.

“Awooo—” The cry was once again heard. Du Xiao Li noticed that the upper layer grape vines had marks of being pressed on. She walked over and saw a silverly white wolf cub whimpering. Its hind leg was tangled in the grape vines. And after a long period of struggling, its fur was somewhat coming off and the scarlet flesh inside could already be seen.

The silver wolf saw Du Xiao Li, and immediately bore its fangs at her, wanting to bite her.

“Sure is quite unruly.” Du Xiao Li watched the little silver wolf struggle until the entire grape vine swayed. Fearing that it would damage the grape vines, she took out the dagger from her little backpack and faced the little silver wolf with a murderous aura.

This was Du Xiao Li’s first time releasing her murderous aura since coming to this world. In her past life, she can’t be said to have killed countless of people, but she still was someone who’s walked through the b.l.o.o.d.y rains and foul winds. If not because of that old grandpa she met when she was young that taught her acupuncture, letting her retain a shred of humanity, the past life her perhaps would’ve long turned into a killing machine.

The weather was very hot, but Du Xiao Li’s surroundings were instead enveloped in a dense cloud of chilliness. That chilliness directly pressed towards the little silver wolf.

At this moment, a person and beast were competing to see just whose aura was stronger, making the other unconsciously surrender.

A wild animal’s senses were the sharpest. The strong killing intent coming from Du Xiao Li made the fierceness in its eyes slowly fade away. Seeing the dagger in her hand reflecting a cold light, its entire body shrunk back.

This withdrawal indicated its surrender.

Du Xiao Li relaxed a breath inside. She had to rejoice at the fact that this was just a young wolf. If it was an adult wolf, then today, she would not be able to avoid a bitter fight.

She walked over and crouched down next to the little silver wolf. Placing her dagger to the side, she stroked its back and said, “Seeing how obedient you are, in the future, just follow after me then.”

“Awoo awoo–” The little silver wolf whimpered, like it was replying to her words.

Du Xiao Li finally went to take care of the grape vines wrapped around it, carefully as to not injure the grape vines.

After she had the little silver wolf rescued out, she finally noticed that its hind leg was severely injured. The inner side that she didn’t see earlier was already fleshy, and the bone could faintly be seen inside.

“This injury of yours needs to be taken care of quickly.” Du Xiao Li said with her brows creased, “Since that’s the case, let’s go back first then.”

She had the dagger put away back into her backpack. Afterwards, she had her backpack placed into the carrying basket, and carried the basket on her back. Then, she picked up the little silver wolf in her arms and prepared to head back.

“Awoo woo—” Du Xiao Li hadn’t walked far when the little silver wolf cried out again. Du Xiao Li looked down and saw its eyes fixedly staring at those few cl.u.s.ters of ripe grapes.

Du Xiao Li remembered hearing in her past life that wolves had a fondness for grapes*. No wonder she would see it here. She saw the reluctance in the little silver wolf’s eyes, and said, “Even more gluttonous than me!”

(*T/N: I have no idea how true this actually is.)

Finished saying this, she walked back again, and had the little sliver wolf placed on the ground. She went to the grape tree propped up by the tangerine tree, picked a bunch of grapes, and threw it before the little sliver wolf.

As soon as the little silver wolf saw the grapes, it completely forgot about the injury on its own hind leg. Its two front paws held onto the grapes as it began to eat. Very soon, the bunch of grapes was entirely eaten by it.

Du Xiao Li picked another bunch from above and threw half at it. Afterwards, she had all the ripe ones plucked and placed into her basket.

After it finished eating the grapes, the little silver wolf contently watched Du Xiao Li pick the grapes. It walked forward two steps, before crying out from the pain again.

Du Xiao Li picked up the back basket, walked over, and picked up the little silver wolf, saying: “Let’s go back. Once I wrap it for you when we get back, it won’t hurt anymore.”

(Back Basket)

Returning home, Du Xiao Li first took care of the wound for the little silver wolf, and then made food afterwards. Right now, she couldn’t afford to eat meat, and could only share half of her food with it.

The little silver wolf stood under the eaves. It looked to the back basket, and then to its treated hind leg. When Du Xiao Li came over with a bowl of food, it licked her hand.

Du Xiao Li felt a burst of happiness inside. This was considered willing to follow her now? She reached out and rubbed its back, saying: “In the future, just follow me, alright? I need to give you a name, yep, just going to call you Silver. Silver come over here. Silver quickly come. Hahah, not bad, not bad, in the future, you’ll be called Silver.”

(T/N: Silver as in the currency)

Silver cried out, unsure whether it was protesting this name or not.

T/N: Du Xiu Heng’s screen-time is now replaced by a wolf pup lol
