Lian Ji knew the situation of these young people’s families. Their parents were bitten to death by wild animals while hunting in the mountains, and their grandparents had long since passed away.
If it weren’t for the help from the village, they probably wouldn’t have survived to this age.
So ti ago, because of the need for a marriage proposal, they gave everything to the matchmaker, so they truly had nothing left at ho.
Although Lian Ji wasn’t very old, she watched them grow up and, being a mother herself, she had a sense of sentintality.
"No need, really no need, we appreciate your kindness," Lian Ji said with so heartache, looking at the few of them.
"No way!" the young man leading the group said, then looked around and noticed a large empty area next to the Xu Family’s place.
"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, how about this: there’s a large empty space next to your house, and a few of us will help you build a big new house to repay the life-saving grace you provided us!!"
Hearing this proposal, Lian Ji and Xu Binghu were a bit stunned.
They didn’t expect these young people would offer to do such a thing—to build them a house??
But since their current house was already enough for them, they didn’t need another house. Just as they were about to refuse, Elder Qi chid in first.
"Well, you young people are really good, knowing how to be grateful. Let’s just do it like this; no one uses that piece of land anyway, and the villagers will all agree."
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
...
The villagers behind Elder Qi all raised their hands in agreent, not giving the couple any room to refuse.
Seeing everyone agree, the few young n imdiately rolled up their sleeves and began working swiftly, leaving the couple astonished.
At this mont.
Xu Ran, who was ditating, seed to just hear the commotion and opened his eyes, and was imdiately noticed.
"Little Ran is awake."
As soon as this was said, everyone looked at Xu Ran simultaneously, with his parents also turning to look at him.
Just having opened his eyes, Xu Ran felt a bit embarrassed, having never experienced such a situation before.
In fact, he had been awake all along, awake from the mont his father opened the door.
He hadn’t awakened earlier because he wanted his parents to handle this matter.
After all, as a one-year-old baby, he hadn’t experienced such things and didn’t know how to handle them.
Now, the villagers already started building the house, and since everything was settled and all the gifts had been given, he opened his eyes.
Xu Binghu and Lian Ji knew that Xu Ran was aware of everything happening here all along, waiting until all the gifts were given and no opportunity to refuse remained before awakening. Indeed, he was their talented son.
Lian Ji walked over and took Xu Ran into her arms, saying, "Little Ran, quickly greet all the uncles, aunties, grandpas, grandmas, brothers, sisters, and little ones."
Xu Ran said in a childish voice, "Good morning, everyone!"
Hearing his voice, it was hard to imagine that this young person possessed such imnse power, so fast that he was like a phantom.
"Quickly thank everyone," Xu Binghu said.
Lian Ji also placed Xu Ran down, gently bowing to everyone, "Thank you for the gifts."
Seeing the adorable Xu Ran, everyone burst into laughter.
Just finished speaking.
The cry of a crane resounded through the sky, piercing the morning silence.
Looking up, a white figure circled in the sky, and in the next instant, the white figure appeared in the Xu Family’s courtyard.
It was none other than Xu Ran’s spirit pet, the Peregrine Falcon, Little White.
Seeing this snow-white Peregrine Falcon, everyone was filled with envy, especially the seasoned hunters.
The Peregrine Falcon was the best partner a hunter could have, and every hunter wished to have a raptor like this.
Not to ntion, this Peregrine Falcon before them was imnsely powerful.
Everyone, looking at this mighty Peregrine Falcon, was montarily entranced.
Elder Qi was the first to react and imdiately instructed the young n building the house.
"Rember to make the best nest for the Peregrine Falcon."
"Okay!"
Little White landed on the ground and affectionately nuzzled Xu Ran’s head.
Originally sleeping in the Great Mountain, Little White awoke and thought of visiting its master, only to see a group of people gathered at the Xu Family’s door, and quickly descended, worried sothing had happened.
A timid child erged from the crowd, holding a wooden carving that, upon closer inspection, resembled Little White.
He approached Xu Ran nervously, appearing a head taller than him.
"Th-this is for...for the little bird..."
Xu Ran accepted the carving, examining it closely. He found it to look remarkably like Little White; if it were all painted white, it would be identical.
"Thank you," Xu Ran said, taking the gift.
At the sa ti, he gestured for Little White to nuzzle the child’s body.
The child, feeling the soft feathers, let all his previous anxiety vanish.
Seeing this, everyone erupted into laughter.
Little White, too, was a savior who had saved their lives, slaying that last massive serpent, so it was regarded as equal.
Gift-giving done, the villagers gradually left the Xu Family, while those young n building the house continued to work hard.
Chopping wood, mixing mud.
Before long, it was noon.
The empty space had accumulated lots of timber, all intended for building the house.
In the middle of the Xu Family’s courtyard, a barbeque stand was erected, but today’s al was different, as they roasted two whole sheep.
