Chapter 138: Fan Hua Town’s Impenetrable Defense (1)

There was currently only one route from Fan Hua Town to Mount Da Shi, which was the path behind Mount Xiu Feng. 

Mount Xiu Feng and numerous smaller but equally lovely mountains nearby have now become the domain of Fan Hua Private Mansion. After being renovated, this mountain range became a charming and elegant landscape worth visiting. 

Mount Da Shi, the dangerous mountain behind Mount Xiu Feng, had gradually become a highly mysterious location in the eyes of curious visitors. 

Although the villagers in neighboring towns were all aware of the dangers of Mount Da Shi, the visitors from the other places were not. To prevent visitors from accidentally or deliberately stumbling into this large undeveloped area, Lin Si Yao had thought a lot about how to protect the tranquility of Mount Da Shi. Alright, according to Su Shuilian, it was to protect the visitors’ safety. 

How troublesome! They did not invite them here! Even if Fan Hua Town had become so marvelous after the renovation, it was Fan Hua Town’s business. It had nothing to do with those idle visitors!

And if something happened, they had to take responsibility! 

If Su Shuilian had agreed to do as he suggested, which was to build two big iron door gates at the town’s entrance to restrict all the outsiders from entering the town, they wouldn’t have had to worry about those rude visitors if they went to Mount Da Shi or affect the villagers’ life or not? 

Su Shuilian just didn’t agree to do so. She said that even if Fan Hua Town now belonged to Prince Jing’s mansion and became an open private mansion, there were more than twenty households living here and they had their freedom. If they built the iron gate at the entrance, people would have to live under the control of the private mansion whenever they wanted to get in and out of the mansion. In short, she did not want to restrict the freedom of the villagers.

Although Lin Si Yao kept complaining in his mind, he didn’t stop his work. 

After he had set up the iron fence with the sign that read “Mount Da Shi - Prohibited Area,” he used a towel to clean dirt on his hands. With the gate placed here, the animals on Mount Da Shi would lose their freedom too. They couldn’t leave the mountain. Of course, it was applicable only to his two big wolves that were fond of this place.

When his family went to the imperial city in the north, Xiao Chun had followed its other half, and had gone back to Mount Da Shi. 

Several days ago, he went to the mountain to plant the seeds and saplings from his garden to the wasteland and found that Xiao Chun was now a father. Its partner had given birth to four cubs, and they all looked so cute and chubby. When Xiao Chun saw him, he proudly lifted his head as if he wanted to compare who had more children with him. Hmph… He would not stoop so low to compare his children with an animal’s. 

However, if his wife, who was full of emotions, knew this, she would surely ask him to take her to the mountain to pay Xiao Chun and her family a sneaky visit. And Xiao Xue, perhaps it had followed the alpha wolf, its life partner, bringing their two grown-up little wolves deep into the mountain to train. He didn’t see them anywhere. And, it was also the reason why Su Shuilian suggested fencing this entrance. First, she worried that visitors would get lost and enter the mountain where wild animals would attack them. Second, she was afraid that Xiao Xue and the wolf pack, who had given him favor, were going to be hunted. They could not be sure if there were some experts like him among the visitors.

Lin Si Yao carefully checked one more time to see if the iron fence was firm enough. Seeing no problem, he installed the wooden warning sign on the left of the fence, which read “Wild animals are often seen in this area. Please do not enter.” 

He took several steps back, appraising his own work. Then, he jumped over the fence and lightly nodded towards the end of the forest before turning around and walking back home.

In the forest, Xiao Chun was standing with his family, watching Lin Si Yao disappear on the other side of the fence. He lowered his head and whimpered before taking his beloved wife and kids, leaving them to their small, but cozy and happy wolf cave. 

They had their own little happy family. They were no longer lonely or homeless. They would never drift around furthermore. 

Xiao Chun and Xiao Xue’s responsibility to protect their masters had come to an end. 

As for the future, they believed with that powerful man by their master’s side, she would never experience an incident. Ever.

Mount Da Shi was still the home of the wolves. They would have their later generations here. 

And from now on, they had an unsaid mission, which was to make Mount Da Shi a strong backing for Fan Hua Town, to protect their masters and their families until they died…
