Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1201 The First Dining Hall
Kournikova looked at the three people and a cow standing in the center of the room.

Where is the blood?

"I used it to water the ginseng garden," the old ginseng said shamefully.

Where's the grass?

"Moo moo moo," Da Ben barked three times.

"Where's the cream cake?"

"I thought it was a gift from my brother to my sister, so Linglong and I ate it," Ugly Girl said shyly.

Just then, Grandma Wen and Second Grandma Wen each came in carrying a piece of cake and said, "Kuwa, this cake you made is so delicious! Why didn't you ever think of making it for me before?"

Kournikova slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "It's all debt!"

Kournikova had no choice but to make preparations again. This time, she emphasized to everyone that whoever made a move would deal with the ferocious beasts outside.

In the afternoon, Kournikova and her two grandmothers appeared on the outskirts of the border town. Kournikova said, "Should I come alone?"

Grandma Wen glanced at him and said, "Who do you think you are? You try it first, I'll back you up."

Kova rushed out and threw bags of pig's blood to both sides of the road. The bags exploded as soon as they hit the ground, and packs of giant wolves charged towards the blood-covered areas on both sides. Kova led her two grandmothers forward quickly until they reached a long bridge. According to the old man, crossing the bridge would lead to the territory of the Giant Deer.

As soon as the three of them reached the bridge, they saw a giant silver wolf standing in the middle of the bridge. Kova was stunned. "Old Ginseng lied to me. This isn't happening!" she thought. Instantly, she led the two grandmothers back to the small world.

Kova, furious, went to the old ginseng, who said, "Who knew the Wolf King wouldn't accept your bribe? I had no choice."

Kova understood; this wolf king was cunning. Pig's blood wasn't working. Grandma Wen said, "If it doesn't work, we'll wait and think of another way."

"What's the best way? Find a she-wolf?" Kournikova blurted out.

Grandma said, "There's no mother wolf here, but that one is probably the size of a cow."

The Mercedes came galloping from afar, bellowing loudly, as if to say that the cow belonged to it and no one was allowed to touch it.

Kova said, "What's the big deal? If it doesn't work, let's do it. Let's find the best martial artist among us." Before she finished speaking, Old Ginseng had disappeared.

Ugly Girl, pulling at Kournikova, said, "Brother, is that you?" Linglong looked at Kournikova with expectant eyes.

Kournikova patted her chest and said, "Don't you know how amazing your brother is? Isn't this like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"

Grandma Wen said, "If blood doesn't work, use meat. If meat still doesn't work, add more meat and stuff it until it bursts."

Kourva's eyes lit up. She thought that maybe ordinary meat wouldn't work, but she would make a whole roasted pig. She wasn't worried that Kourva wouldn't eat it. In the courtyard of the manor, Kourva set up a barbecue grill and roasted ten pigs at a time, with plenty of seasonings, especially Sichuan peppercorns and cumin.

Turning around, she saw five people drooling. Grandma Wen said, "Grandson, can you keep one?"

Kournikova looked at her grandmother and nodded helplessly.

Kournikova led the nine pigs out of the small world. As soon as they came out, they saw the face of a giant silver wolf. Kournikova quickly retreated and threw a pig to the wolf king. The wolf king was puzzled, but the tempting aroma still attracted it. Kournikova wanted to quickly cross the long bridge, but unfortunately, the wolf king took a bite and blocked her way again.

The wolf king looked at him, then at the pig, then at the pig, then at him again. Kournikova was a little confused. What did this mean? Kournikova tentatively threw out another one. The wolf king nodded, but didn't move.

Kova understood this was a negotiation. She threw out three heads, shrugged, and said nothing more. The wolf king shook his head. Kova threw out the remaining four heads. The wolf king glanced at the pig, then turned and went to eat his meal next to it. Kova quickly crossed the bridge. As she walked, she wondered, "How did it know I had nine heads?"

Ugly Girl said in the little world, "My brother has nine pig tails hanging on him, as if no one can see them."

Kournikova looked at the pig tail she had secretly kept as a midnight snack and felt like crying.

Kournikova crossed a long bridge, and then there was a long road. She saw a giant deer blocking the road. Was it a giant deer?
That was a giant mountain, as big as a mountain itself. Kournikova felt that there probably wouldn't be enough grass, but she used all her strength to push it to both sides. Unexpectedly, the giant deer split open to both sides in an instant.

Kova flew over quickly, looked back, and saw that the herb was still very tempting; the giant deer had started fighting on their own.

Kova sped along, the city gate was right in front of him, but he didn't forget the last giant bear. He was cautious, looking carefully with each step, and he didn't see the bear even when he got to the bottom of the city gate. Was the old man lying again?
Just then, he felt something tugging at his trouser leg. He looked up and saw a small bear, only up to his knees, staring at him with adorable eyes. Was this a giant bear?

No, this little black bear is different. He picked it up and the bear rubbed against his cheek. Kournikova thought it was cute, so he took out a small cake and handed it to the bear. The bear's eyes lit up and it picked it up and started eating.

After finishing her cake, she looked at him with her adorable round eyes, completely defeated, and gave him another big piece. The little bear was clearly excited, sitting to the side eating her cream cake. Kuva looked towards the door, with only one question: how to get in?

Kova tried to knock on the door, but the door was made of huge wood and there was no response. She gave up and asked her family. They knew everything, including that she had twelve bags of spirit stones.

He looked down at the little bear and said, "I'm leaving."

The little bear grabbed Kournikova's leg, abandoning even the cake. Kournikova thought for a moment and asked, "Then will you come with me?"

The little bear tugged at his trouser leg and looked in one direction. Kournikova understood: the little bear was packing up his belongings before coming with her.

“Let’s go, I’ll go with you,” Kourva said. The little bear hopped and skipped ahead, leading the way to the bottom of the moat, where a large cave appeared before them.

Kournikova thought it might be the bear's home, with the bear leading the way and Kournikova following behind.

Suddenly, cold sweat ran from the soles of his feet to the tip of his head. The giant bear statues on either side were staring at him menacingly. He felt they were alive. He thought, "If I run, is it too late?"

Kournikova steeled herself and followed the little bear to the last large cave, a place where spring was warm and summer was cool. How did she know? Because there were giant ice floes on both sides.

In the very center were the corpses of two giant bears. Kournikova, led by the little bear, went down to his den. There was nothing there, just a pile of food. Kournikova asked, "Little bear, are these your parents?" The little bear looked at the giant bears, tears streaming down his face, and he cried loudly, a cry that was heartbreaking.

Kournikova picked up the teddy bear and comforted it, saying, "From now on, you'll be my little brother, and I'll be your big brother, okay? Let's not cry anymore."

The little bear looked at him with its adorable eyes and nodded firmly. Kournikova patted the little bear's head and gave it a piece of cake. "Let's go, let's go to town."

Kournikova, carrying the bear cub, emerged from the cave. With a clap of her hands, boulders rolled down from both sides, sealing the cave entrance. The two of them then headed towards the main gate of the border town.

At the foot of the city gate, the massive gate was tightly shut. Kova wondered, should I knock or not? If someone opened the door, should I go in or run away?

The little bear didn't know what Kova was going to do. Seeing him standing there motionless, it struggled to get down. Kova put it down, and the little bear pointed in a direction. Kova looked and saw that there was a small hole at the bottom of the city wall, only about half a person's height.

The little bear walked ahead, and he followed behind. Soon they stood at the cave entrance, and the little bear darted inside. Kova, seeing this, thought, "Let's follow; we can't get into the city anyway." Inside the cave was a long passage, and the little bear called out, urging Kova to hurry.

Kournikova quickened her pace and walked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then, a light appeared ahead, and the little bear disappeared in a flash. Kournikova then hurried forward and stepped out of the passage.

Looking up, I saw a small house with jars piled high on both sides. The door was closed, but when I turned around, I saw that the entrance was behind a huge wine jar. It was really well hidden.

Kournikova looked around for the little bear. Just then, she saw the little bear, carrying a small jar, waddle over to Kournikova.
