1970s Miracle Doctor: I Made a Fortune with My Wife’s Intelligence Network

Ten years ago, the landlord's youngest daughter was cast aside and abandoned in Ghost-Cry Ridge, where heavy snow sealed off the mountains. Ten years later, she had become the ruler of a forest surrounded by wolves. She could understand the joys and sorrows of every beast, but had stopped trusting humans.

Shen Yuan was the cleverest son of the Huangtu Brigade secretary, a quick-witted barefoot doctor. While gathering herbs on a cliff, he stumbled upon a “wolf girl” dressed in animal skins, her gaze cold and sharp.

To coax her down from the mountain, he started a wordless exchange with a handful of coarse salt and an old cotton-padded coat. To protect her during the authorities' campaign to “clear the mountains and eliminate pests,” he put his life on the line and made a solemn pledge. And to help her find a place among people, Dr. Chen, who knew only how to treat humans, pored over ancient texts and learned veterinary medicine.

Everyone in the village thought Shen Yuan had been bewitched, and had picked up a foolish girl who wouldn't talk to him. Then, on a famine-stricken night, wild beasts attacked the village. The frail young woman stood at the entrance and let out a long howl. Every beast retreated.

This is a collision between the wilderness and the warmth of home. The world below the mountain was too noisy, so Shen Yuan covered her ears and sheltered her from the storm. In turn, she used her uncanny ability to understand the beasts to create an all-seeing rural intelligence network for him. The wind swept across this yellow earth, carrying the fragrant scent of herbs from every mountain.
