Riding Wild Boars and Playing with Snakes: This Five-Year-Old Isn't to Be Messed With

[Period setting + poison doctor + doted on by everyone + fiercely protective + satisfying read] In 1958, bandits raided a village. Tuan Tuan was still a baby when her tearful mother hid her in a carrying basket, but she accidentally fell into the forbidden place in Miaojiang known as Ghost-Cry Cliff. Five years later, a delicate little girl of five came down the mountain at a leisurely pace, riding a huge wild boar and clutching a handful of colorful venomous snakes. She had come down on her master's orders: first, to purge the sect and catch a traitor; second, to find her family and take revenge. Seeing her own mother, gaunt from being bullied by their awful relatives, Tuan Tuan held out a black bun and said in her little-girl voice, “Mama, eat this. It'll give you the strength to beat them up.” The villagers stared in horror. “Is that a centipede crawling out of the bun?” Tuan Tuan smiled sweetly. “It's medicine. It cures everything, though it can be a little… deadly.”
