51: Chapter 51 Compromises in Life (1)_1
Pei Qin was on full alert, noticing that Lady Fang and Si Ya weren’t quick to obey, she lowered her voice and barked angrily, “Aren’t you going to get in, waiting to get in the way!?” Her body function was far too weak—if this had been her time in the modern day, she might have managed one wild animal, barely, but now there were two, damn it!
Swallowing her breath, Si Ya looked at the two pairs of glowing eyes and quickly pushed San Ya into the small cave to hide.
Lady Fang wouldn’t leave; she clung desperately to Pei Qin, “Qinqin!
Qinqin, run!”
Pei Qin’s face was livid with anger as she shook off her arm to push her, “Go inside and stop getting in the way!”
“No!” Lady Fang wouldn’t leave, and was pulling her inside, “Qinqin!
Don’t be foolish!
Stick with mother…”
Pei Qin put real effort into her hands, shoving Lady Fang inside.
Lady Fang stumbled and fell on the ground.
Scrambling up, she tried to come back and pull Pei Qin.
Si Ya came up and pulled her back, “Mother!
Those are wolves!
They are wolves!”
Because they were wolves, she couldn’t let Qinqin face them alone!
Those two pairs of eyes were drawing nearer.
Pei Qin gripped the kitchen knife, crouched, her whole body on the alert as she stared, standing guard at the cave’s entrance, while Lady Fang, with eyes red and swollen, pushed Si Ya aside and ran back up, “Qinqin!”
Pei Qin seriously wanted to curse her mother.
“Qinqin, get inside!” Lady Fang tugged at her, trying to pull her into the cave.
Just at that moment, a fierce scream suddenly rang out.
The scream frightened Lady Fang so much she threw herself onto Pei Qin.
“Damn it!” Pei Qin cursed out loud.
Inside the cave, San Ya was frightened and started to cry; Si Ya quickly covered her mouth to keep her from making a sound.
Pei Wendong hid in the back, trembling incessantly.
“Damn it!
I thought they were wolves!” Pei Qin cursed, pushing Lady Fang off her, “You wait aside, watch me kill you two mountain cats!”
Lady Fang hesitated, and upon hearing they were mountain cats and not wolves, she too breathed a sigh of relief.
But mountain cats could also bite, “Qinqin, be careful!”
Pei Qin wasn’t afraid anymore.
She picked up a rock and threw it fiercely, and the kitchen knife in her hand also swiftly flew out.
With a pitiful wail, the two mountain cats swiftly fled away.
Pei Qin went to pick up her kitchen knife and was about to give chase, but Lady Fang ran over to hold her back.
They all resettled in the cave once more, and although it was a false alarm, they remained terrified.
“The roasted chicken from before must have attracted them!” Pei Qin said, adding more kindling to the fire.
Lady Fang, with tears in her eyes, persuaded her, “Qinqin!
Let’s go down the mountain!
Living in this cave isn’t a long-term plan, and it’s not safe either!”
“I’m going down the mountain no matter what!” Si Ya pouted determinedly.
Pei Wendong clung to her, looking scared.
“Elder sister…” San Ya was also frightened and wanted to go down the mountain.
Pei Qin rummaged through their coins, more than five hundred copper coins had dwindled to less than two hundred, “Tomorrow if we sell some more winter bamboo shoots, we should have enough to rent a room in town, right?”
“Qinqin!
Let’s go down the mountain and go back home!” Lady Fang pleaded with her earnestly, “It’s not as simple as you think trying to make a living outside.
Even though it’s us five women and children against the world, we can’t rely on just you!” It wasn’t just about food and lodging; everything was more complicated out in the world.
Pei Qin sighed, “Alright!
If I find something tomorrow, then you girls just agree, okay?”
“Qinqin!

What about you?” Lady Fang was the most cowardly of them all.
Pei Qin shrugged, “Of course, I’ll be with you!” It seems her life in the modern era had been such a good one; at the very least, she had never worried about money.
Lady Fang, with tears rimming her eyes, reached out and hugged her.
After lighting a ring of fire and stacking stones around the entrance of the cave, everyone was too afraid to sleep, eventually succumbing to exhaustion at the end.
