Chapter 480: Surrounded by Wolves

But after meeting the hospitable tribal leader, Ji Yunshu felt a little nervous again.

The chief had three sons and one daughter.

The daughter is the youngest, and she is the little girl who just went to call them to dinner.

They looked no more than five or six years old. When they arrived, they followed the adults in greeting each other.

Her movements were so quiet and graceful that Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at her a second time.

At this glance, I found that the girl's face had almost no expression.

There is no modern cosmetic surgery technology here, so there is only one possibility for a stiff face, and that is disguise.

Who would disguise themselves as the daughter of a remote tribal leader, and for what purpose?

Ji Yunshu pondered in his heart, and his gaze couldn't help but linger on the little girl for a little longer.

It was Zhao Shen who was standing by and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Ji Yunshu came back to his senses and said sadly, "I remember my mother passed away when I was my age."

Zhao Shen was not prepared for her to say this suddenly, so he comforted her: "What happened in the past is in the past, don't be sad."

Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm not sad. I was too young back then, and it's been so long that I can't really remember what my mother looked like."

She was not lying. The mother in the original owner's mind was just a vague shadow.

The two were talking, and no one else wanted to interrupt them. However, the little girl quickly looked up at Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu pretended not to know.

Thanks to the warm hospitality of the tribal leader, they had a satisfying dinner.

When he was leaving after dinner, the little girl caught up with him from behind and followed him closely.

Ji Yunshu thought the other party had something to say to her, but until she was about to return to her tent, the little girl still followed her.

Ji Yunshu couldn't help but waved at her; "Do you have something to say to me?"

The little girl glanced at her in panic and whispered, "Be careful."

Then he ran away quickly.

Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen: "What do you think?"

Zhao Shen: "Since someone has reminded us, let's just be careful."

Seeing that he didn't seem to take it seriously, Ji Yunshu knew that he had his own arrangements. Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.

The two returned to the tent, and Zhao Shencai said, "Haven't you noticed? There are almost no elderly, weak, women, or children in this tribe."

Ji Yunshu then remembered that there were almost no women among the people he met today.

The little girl can be said to be the only one.

Ji Yunshu sighed: "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this tribe."

Zhao Shen held her in his arms: "Don't worry, you haven't had a good rest these days. Take advantage of the fact that you don't have to sleep outside tonight and get some sleep first."

Ji Yunshu asked, "What about you?"

He hadn't slept well for a long time.

They seemed to be walking slowly and not feeling tired these days, but Zhao Shen was always worried that someone would do something bad to them.

My mind is probably never idle for a moment.

Zhao Shen smiled and carried her to a makeshift bed: "I'll sleep with you."

I don’t know if it was because I felt safe in Zhao Shen’s arms or because I was too sleepy.

Ji Yunshu fell asleep quickly.

In the middle of the night, they were awakened by the howling of wild beasts.

Ji Yunshu turned to look at Zhao Shen beside him: "Is this a wolf?"

At this time, Jingzhe heard a low voice outside: "Master, we are surrounded by wolves."

In the darkness, a ruthless look flashed across Zhao Shen's eyes, and he quickly and calmly asked, "How many are there?"

Jingzhe looked at the dark green eyes that looked like ghostly fires in the distance and said, "There are... several hundred of them."

Zhao Shen asked again: "Where are the people in the tribe?"

Jingzhe said: "There is no movement over there. They don't seem to know that they are surrounded by wolves."

"I don't know?" Ji Yunshu sneered, "How is that possible?"

Jingzhe heard her voice and said, "Those wolves seem to have recognized us and are not attacking people in the tribe."

"It seems that the matter is indeed related to them. We are guests and there is no need to defend ourselves against the enemy. Let's find a way to lure the wolves to their side."

Jingzhe shook his head, thinking that the people inside couldn't see him, and then quickly said: "I'm afraid it's impossible. We haven't figured out why those wolves only attack us."

Ji Yunshu thought about it, then stood up and took out a box from his luggage.

The box looked simple without any fancy decorations, but Zhao Shen recognized at a glance that the things in the box were all brought to Ji Yunshu by Yichen.

Ji Yunshu lit an oil lamp, took out a small bottle from it, and handed it to Jingzhe: "This is a powder that can attract wild animals. I haven't tried it on wolves, but it should be effective. Sprinkle the powder towards the tribe facing the wind and see if it works."

Jingzhe immediately rushed out with the bottle.

He knew that the things Yichen configured were exceptionally effective, so he couldn't help but hold on to hope.

It’s not impossible for them to kill so many wolves, but they will have to pay a price.

At this time, those who can stay with the master are all masters, and the loss of one of them will make the master sad.

It would be great if this powder worked.

With this in mind, he found a place with favorable wind not far from the tribe and scattered the medicine powder.

The direction in which he sprinkled the powder was where the tribal leader and his family lived.

Soon the wolves abandoned their side and attacked the tribe.

Then, cries for help were heard one after another in the tribal leader's tent.

When Ji Yunshu heard the commotion over there, he knew the powder was taking effect.

She grabbed Zhao Shen's hand and asked, "Should we go out and take a look?"

Zhao Shen shook his head: "Just pretend you don't know. I'm very sleepy, go back to sleep."

Ji Yunshu: "...Okay."

Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a cry for help from outside the tent: "Sister, please save my father and mother."

Ji Yunshu remembered that this voice was from the little girl who had reminded him to be careful before.

She looked at Zhao Shen.

Zhao Shen had no choice but to stand up and say, "Go out and take a look."

Before she left the tent, she heard Zhao Shen whisper in her ear again: "Be careful."

Nodding silently, the two of them walked outside.

The little girl was stopped by the secret guards. When she saw Ji Yunshu, she rushed forward excitedly as if she had seen a savior.

But as soon as she moved, she was stopped by the secret guards.

The little girl looked at Ji Yunshu with tears on her face and said, "Sister, please save my father and mother."

Ji Yunshu seemed a little reluctant, and sighed and said to the secret guard: "Let her come over."

The secret guard let go of his hand.

The little girl walked up to Ji Yunshu, stood firm, and choked up, saying, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly a pack of wolves showed up. With so many of you around, can you please help us?"

Ji Yunshu said in embarrassment, "But what if I send people to help you and the wolves suddenly turn around and attack us? I've never seen so many wolves before, and I'm very scared. I'd better keep more people around to feel at ease."

The little girl asked anxiously, "What about my parents?"
