The assistants from Li's Pharmacy never imagined that the child they dismissed as a mere baby—with her cherubic face and small stature—was, in reality, a wolf! This was because after she had pushed them aside and knocked them down, the little girl helped Zhao Fei—formerly a beggar, now an Herbalist—to his feet.
Then, they heard Zhao Fei excitedly and joyfully call her "Benefactor!" He also urged her to leave quickly.
An ordinary child, far from hitting them, would have burst into tears and run to their mother at the mere sight of a fight. But this little girl didn't cry. Instead, she shoved them away with a few movements, her strength astonishing.
They asked around, but no one claimed the little girl. The assistants from Li's Pharmacy thus began to harbor ill will.
"Since no one's claiming her, don't blame us for being rough!"
The assistants from Li's Pharmacy shouted, but no adult came forward. So, they decided to teach this little girl a harsh lesson.
