The two bullies were quivering in fear, shrinking toward the back of their seats forcefully, and dying to get back into the carriage.
Ah Ow sensed their fear toward her and howled even harder as she stared at them with her gaping mouth, as though she were forcing her tonsils to pop out.
Tomasson lost his grip. ”This . . . Harry, Reiss. Don't be afraid . . . Oh my God, oh God!”
”Sorry buddy, I'll call this little mutt back right now,” cried Li Du. ”Ah Ow, come back to me! Come back!”
It was a rare chance for Ah Ow to show her prowess and she was so caught up in howling at the two ferocious dogs that she didn't listen to Li Du at all.
Mr. Li flew into a rage. He released Ah Meow and shouted, ”Ah Meow, drag her back to me!”
Ah Ow had grown up and now weighed forty pounds. She was also big and tall. In comparison, Ah Meow, who had once bullied her, was now barely half her size.
But, when it came to combat ability, Ah Meow had the upper hand. After all, Ah Meow had been capable of challenging the wild wolf in the wilderness all by himself.
As soon as Ah Meow landed on the ground, he leaped up again. Like an agile girl practicing yoga, his muscles were well-defined and looking splendid in the sunlight.
He quickly jumped into the car, and as he descended, he slapped Ah Ow's mouth, giving her a loud smack.
Ah Ow was very cross. D*mn you! Do you know I am, I am . . . going back now!
She had always been under Ah Meow's control. Even though she was larger in size than him, she was still fearful of him.
Seeing Ah Ow leave with her tail between her legs, Tomasson said in relief, ”Mr. Li, I have never seen a man as domineering as you. You've got an ocelot and a wolf, and they are both so obedient. It's simply amazing!”
Li Du laughed, ”They are well-behaved. Okay, buddy, see you later. I'll go first.”
Tomasson stopped him and said, ”Don't be in such a hurry. I've got some dried vegetables here. You may like them.”
Dried vegetables were an Amish specialty. They harvested vegetables during the summer and autumn seasons, then dehydrated them quickly. This was to ensure that the vegetables kept well even though they didn't have refrigerators.
Tomasson had a big bag of dried vegetables in the carriage, and he gave them all to Li Du.
These were vegetables they had dried themselves; no pesticide, chemicals or seasonings had been added. Being pure, natural, and organic, they were popular locally.
Li Du laughed and said that he could do away with buying vegetables for a long time.
As he was approaching the cabin, he saw a small pink bicycle speeding along the road.
This was the little girl Victoria's bicycle. Hans had gotten it at a storage auction and had given it to her as a gift when he noticed that she had been riding a broken bicycle every day.
The little girl was pedaling hard on the bicycle. Her tiny frame was bent forward, and she was panting away. The mist was coming out of her mouth like a train puffing along.
Li Du approached her and smiled. ”Hi Victoria, you're very early.”
The little girl heard his voice and turned her head in surprise. Her fat cheeks were bulging, and her nose was scrunched up—it looked as though she were pedaling with all her might.
Li Du folded the bicycle and put it in the trunk before giving her a ride to the cabin.
Victoria would come by the cabin to play whenever she had the time. She would follow Lu Guan around as he worked; help Hans collate the goods, or when Li Du was around, play with the other little girl, Ivana.
As she had been interacting with more people, and the treasure hunters that she came in contact with were more forthright, the little girl had become less introverted and more confident.
