Chu Qingchuan saw that the wolf was about to catch up and felt unbelievably horrified. She looked all around. Where is this? It’s pitch black all around her; not a single light in sight. To her surprise, she had unknowingly ran very far out.

“Ah!” Suddenly, Chu Qingchuan slipped whilst uttering “c.r.a.p!” under her breath.

Just then, Chu Qingchuan’s mind went blank and she heard a buzzing in her ears. Her body fell uncontrollably.

“Ah…” Chu Qingchuan squealed in terror, then hit a slope with a loud thump.

Just then, she tumbled down the slope like a rolling pin, as rocks and weeds unavoidably cut her clothing.

After rolling for a considerably long distance, she finally came to a stop.

On the way, Chu Qingchuan hit her head several times. By the time she had tumbled down to the ground, she fainted.

She was a complete state. Covered in blood, her little face looked pale white. She had several b.l.o.o.d.y sc.r.a.pes and there were trickles of blood pouring out from the corner of her mouth.

However, if one looked carefully, they could tell that she had striking facial features. She was a rare beauty.

*Aooo aooo aoooo…* At the peak of the tall mountain, there was a wolf that stared at the dangerous cliff top. He didn’t dare jump down, as it definitely wouldn’t be able to stand upright. That wolf figured that if it did, then it would just end up tumbling like Chu Qingchuan, so he turned around and left.

The next day, the morning sun beamed down and hit the mountain peak. In the shade at the foot of the mountain, Chu Qingchuan was still unconscious and her face was as pale as death.

All of a sudden, there was a seventy-eight year old man. Despite being very old, he only had a few strands of white hair, his face was dark and skinny. The small, short man pulled the cattle cart which had several wooden barrels. It was obvious that he planned to go fetch some water by the lake at the foot of the mountain.

But he suddenly stopped in his trackes when he saw Chu Qingchuan’s captivating eyes by the roadside.

The old man glanced down at Chu Qingchuan and reached his hand out to her nose to check if she was breathing. He discovered that she wasn’t dead and she was a beautiful person. He stroked his beard, as an idea popped into mind.

Instead of going to fetch the water, he carried Chu Qingchuan onto the cart and headed back.

The old man went to his own house in the village.

“You old fool, why are you back so soon? In a hurry to kick the bucket? Did you fetch the water?” Angrily yelled a sixty or seventy-year-old woman in a terrible temper.

“Darling, quick! Come, look see what I picked up,” said the old man who didn’t seem angry, but had a look of joy on his face.

The old woman immediately walked over to the cart to take a look and gasped in shock. “Ahhhh! Which family does this young lady belong to? She looks so beautiful!”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled cheerfully. “Darling, let’s head over to Tai City and sell this unwanted doll to the brothel. With her looks, we can at least sell her for twenty teals! That’s enough to feed our entire family for a year!”

“Alright! I’ll go get you some rope to tie her up. It’s best to be careful!” With that said, the old lady immediately found the rope from a corner in the firewood shed.

Then, she headed back and tightly tied up Chu Qingchuan. Even with some help, it would be difficult to break free.

“Darling, I guess I’ll be off now! Just you wait for me to come back with twenty taels!” The old man bid her farewell with a smile on his face.

“Old fool, you’re so stupid! With her goods, we can get this much!” Said the old woman, as she raised five skinny fingers up for the old man to see.

“Alright, alright! I’ll listen to you. I’ll do my best to hike up the price!” The old man had a look of delight in his eyes that he couldn’t hide. They were on the same page.

Just then, he turned around and pulled the cart down a dirt road towards Tai City.

The old woman had a delighted smile on her face, as she slapped her thighs in excitement. “That old fool got so lucky. The heavens must have eyes!”

She watched the old man walk off into the distance, then happily spun around and headed back into the house. In her mind, she thought about how to spend such a large amount of money!
