Chapter 399: The Queen’s Growing Diary (II)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhaojiacun was a small mountain village along the border of Hejian County. One could call out at the village entrance and be heard at the opposite end; it was an extremely small village.

There were only 25 families in the village. The whole village knew within an hour when something huge happened to someone in the village.

In the past six months, one of the most buzzing events in the village was that Widow Zhao adopted a wolf girl who could not speak the human language.

According to the villagers, a she-wolf that had lost its child took the wolf girl away at a young age. The she-wolf then raised the child as its own.

Therefore, the wolf girl had a strong aggressiveness and would claw whoever it caught. She could not understand or speak the human language.

The villagers were very worried at first. They were afraid that the wolf girl would bring disaster to the village. However, half a year passed and nothing happened.

Not only did nothing happen, but the hunting skills of the wolf girl were top-notch. She would go deep into the mountains and hunt every once in a while.

The hunters in the village only dared to ramble around the mountain edges. The wolf girl dared to go deep into the mountains and hunted something good every time. Widow Zhao lost her husband at a young age. She lived a difficult life by herself. Ever since she adopted the wolf girl, she had meat for every meal, and she used wild eggs on her face as a mask.

The wolf girl was uncommunicative by nature. She ignored everyone. The way she looked at people was like she was looking at a dead person. The villagers were afraid of her.

Widow Zhao knew how to get along with people. When the wolf girl returned from hunting, Widow Zhao would give chunks of meat to every family in the village.

One day, the wolf girl hunted two big, wild boars. She did not flush or pant along the way. She walked as if she had wings.

The wolf girl looked steadily forward while she carried two big, wild boars into Widow Zhao’s yard. She pulled the fence closed with a bang.

“Yao’er, you’re back. Wash up quickly and try on some new clothes.” Hearing the noise outside, Widow Zhao knew who was back.

“My name isn’t Yao’er...” The wolf girl crossed her hands in front of her chest and leaned against the door. She frowned and did not look happy.

She disliked what Widow Zhao named her.

Compared to Widow Zhao’s fluent pronunciation, the wolf girl’s pronunciation was very weird and lacking in fluency. She was like a child learning to speak.

The wolf girl, or Jiang Pengji, had already been in the strange, barbaric, and backward world for a whole year.

She basically lived in the mountains for the first half of the year.

She knew that she had come to a completely unfamiliar, barbarian era. What was worse was that there was a language barrier between her and the backward human beings.

Her inability to communicate in words meant that she could not integrate into society quickly. She also could not obtain the news she needed.

It was totally an accident that she knew Widow Zhao and was “adopted” by her.

Jiang Pengji mysteriously became the so-called “wolf girl,” whom the villagers envied and feared. At the same time, they admired her as well.

She scoffed coldly at the nasty minds of the ancient humans. She loathed having conversations with them.

Widow Zhao mediated from within and allowed her to continue to live in the village.

Widow Zhao was a warm-hearted person by nature. She dragged her and gestured at the new clothes. “You hunt in the mountains all day long. You should change into some clean and light clothing. Don’t be shy. Try them on and let me have a look.”

Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes. She took the green clothes and went to her room.

“What about the pigs in the yard?”

“I’ll slaughter them later. If the villagers want to buy them, sell them at a cheaper price. We’ll make fried pork crisps out of whatever can’t be sold.” Jiang Pengji’s voice was low and hoarse. It did not sound like a girl’s voice, but she was a girl.

Widow Zhao thought that such a peaceful life would continue forever.

After earning money for another two years, she could prepare some dowries for Yao’er, and find a matchmaker to offer Yao’er a good marriage.

Who knew... Something unexpected could always happen.

That day, Jiang Pengji went hunting in the mountains as usual and had a bountiful gain.

When she had just walked out of the woods, she saw an old man with a walking stick waiting. He was the junior officer of the village.

She had always been gentler towards the elders and young children. “Are you looking for me?”

Judging from the situation, there was a huge incident. Jiang Pengji frowned and had a bad hunch.

Seeing her come out of the woods, the junior officer of the village dodged her gaze a little. “Yao... Yao’er, something happened to Widow Zhao. Go back quickly and have a look.”

Jiang Pengji understood what he meant. She hurriedly dropped the wild goods in her hands and returned to Widow Zhao’s home.

The fisherman who salvaged Widow Zhao’s body said that she accidentally fell into the water and drowned. However, when Jiang Pengji looked at her body, she found evidence that she had been throttled then thrown into the water. She was even raped by at least three men before she died... The marks were so obvious that one could not be deceived.

Jiang Pengji had an extremely grave look on her face, but an onlooker beside her said that she was a wolf that was not raised well. Widow Zhao had treated her so well. Now that she was dead, Jiang Pengji did not even cry. She was simply an ungrateful and vicious person.

Jiang Pengji understood what he meant, but she felt that it was a bit ridiculous.

Was clearing the deceased’s name not the best sign of gratitude?

Cry? What was the use of crying?

On the pretext of the vigil, Jiang Pengji carefully examined Widow Zhao’s body and found several key clues.

Over the past few days, she forbore from speaking. After she had buried Widow Zhao, she left Zhaojiacun in the middle of the night.

After investigating carefully for half a month, she had targeted four suspects.

The four people did not have low social statuses, and they had escorts with them at all times. Jiang Pengji chose to assassinate them.

There was a bit of a problem when she killed the fourth person, however. “Liu Lanting, you’re a b*stard. You actually... killed your brother with your own hands?” Liu She pointed at Jiang Pengji with trembling fingers. He had mostly recovered from his grogginess.

The bags under his eyes were saggy, and his footsteps were weak. With just a glance, Jiang Pengji could tell that his body was impaired by alcohol.

She did not like to indiscriminately slaughter innocent people. She came and went without leaving a trace. She was unafraid of Liu She seeing her face.

“What Liu Lanting?” She asked with an indifferent look on her face. “What brother?”

Liu She looked at her incredulously, then looked at the dead body that was no longer breathing on the ground. He was grieving over the loss of his son, and profusely angry at the woman who killed him.

“You b*stard. If I don’t kill you today, it’ll be hard for me to avenge my son’s murder!”

Liu She was a famous dandy in Hejian when he was young. He had an obsession with alcohol and Wushi powder. He had many wives and concubines. He robbed countless women, and many of them died. Perhaps it was retribution, but it was difficult for him to have children. He only had two sons born of his mistress and a daughter born of his legal wife. One of his sons died young. The other son that managed to survive became his treasure. Liu She and his concubine spoiled him so much that he often did some evil acts upon women. The father and son were nothing good. They had killed many people.

As for his daughter, she had fallen in with bandits around a year ago. There were rumors that she was no longer a virgin. He felt ashamed, so he simply declared that his daughter was dead. He also did not ask anyone to look for her.

He never thought that she would return a year later and kill her brother.

Jiang Pengji frowned. She had a very good memory. On her first day in the current era, she had stopped some bandits from bullying a group of girls. The girls called her by a name that sounded similar to “Lanting.” Was that the name of the person who originally owned her body?

“I don’t know who the Lanting you’re talking about is. I only know that the b*stard laying on the ground and the other three b*stards killed the person that was the most important to me in this world. They have committed a crime. According to federal law, it’s a crime to commit rape and murder.”

Jiang Pengji jumped up on the eaves of the house. She took out a stone from the sack on her waist with her right hand and twiddled it. She hit Liu She with the stone and knocked him out cold.

After that, she re-entered the mountains and lived the leisurely life of a savage.

Her life was pretty good. However, her “neighbors,” the bandits, looked for trouble.

Jiang Pengji single-handedly incited the entire gang of bandits. Although she did not kill anyone, every bandit had suffered wounds in action. The smallest injury they sustained was a fracture.

Having seen Jiang Pengji’s ruthlessness, the bandits were utterly terrified of her.

“Who does the mountain belong to?” she asked them.

“It’s yours, Queen!” the bandits responded.

“Who has the final say in this mountain?”

“You have the final say, Queen!”

“Very good. From now on, this is my territory. Who should you listen to?”

“We’ll listen to whatever you say, Queen!” Therefore, Jiang Pengji became the head of the gang of bandits.
