Chapter 136: Surrounded by Wolves

Old man Chen had no choice but to tiptoe out of the house.

It was pitch black outside, and he walked towards the Wu family's old house with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Suddenly he heard a loud noise, and then he saw more than ten people holding torches walking towards him.

Old man Chen was already feeling guilty, and he was frightened and shuddered. His feet slipped, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.

Wu Baoan had already seen Old Man Chen. When he saw him suddenly fall, he hurried over and helped him up.

"Uncle Zhonghou, why are you hanging around so late at night? What if you fall and get hurt? I wonder what you'll do?"

Old Man Chen cursed Old Lady Chen in his heart for being greedy and making her steal beets, which almost made her fall to death.

He didn't know how to explain it, so he said something against his will.

"Security, I heard Dabao went to Wild Wolf Valley. I'm really worried about him, so I want to go with you to look for him."

Before Wu Baoan could say anything, Old Man Chen, feeling guilty about stealing beets, hurriedly spoke again.

"Dabao is my grandson, so I should help. Besides, I've been to Wild Wolf Valley once when I was young, so I can show you the way."

Wu Baoan nodded. "Okay, it's rare that you're so kind. Let's go!"

Old man Chen was almost petrified on the spot. He was just talking casually and thought Wu Baoan would reject him on the grounds that he was too old. He didn't expect Wu Baoan to be so cruel.

Going to Wild Wolf Valley in the pitch dark is too much for his old arms and legs to bear. It will cost him his life!

But the fart had already been let out and there was no way to take it back, so he had no choice but to follow Wu Baoan towards the Wild Wolf Valley.

Chen Qingqing chased him all the way, but did not find Chen Zhanliang even when he arrived at the Wild Wolf Valley.

He must have been worried about Dabao's safety, so he walked fast. It was normal that he couldn't catch up.

Looking at the Wild Wolf Valley right in front of her, Chen Qingqing was really scared.

But when she thought of Chen Zhanliang and Chen Dabao, she steeled her mind and mustered up the courage to walk towards the depths of Wild Wolf Valley.

It was pitch black everywhere, and from the distance one could hear the creepy howls of wolves from time to time.

After walking for an unknown distance, Chen Qingqing vaguely saw a dark shadow moving under a large tree not far ahead.

She was startled and instinctively slowed down her pace. She held the torch nervously and moved forward cautiously.

With the dim light of the torch, Chen Qingqing finally saw clearly that the black shadow was Chen Dabao.

He was seen huddled up under the tree, shivering, with his hands covering his head.

Chen Qingqing stepped forward quickly and said, "Dabao, it's really you. I finally found you. Get up quickly. I'll take you home." As she said that, she was about to help Dabao up.

Chen Dabao slowly opened his eyes, saw Chen Qingqing, and weakly called out, "Sister Qingqing..." before fainting.

"Dabao, Dabao, wake up." Chen Qingqing saw that his face was pale and his breath was weak. She found that there was blood flowing from his calf. After taking a closer look, she found that he was injured by a poisonous insect. She secretly thanked her lucky day that she arrived in time, otherwise the venom would spread and damage his internal organs, which would be dangerous.

She took out a special medicine for treating poisonous insect bites from the space, cleaned the wound first, performed emergency treatment, and then gave Dabao an antidote.

Not long after, Chen Dabao slowly woke up with tears in his eyes, "Sister Qingqing, thank you for saving me. I thought I was going to die here today. It's all my fault for being impulsive..."

Seeing that he had regained consciousness, Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. "Dabao, now is not the time to talk about this. We must leave Wild Wolf Valley as soon as possible. How do you feel now? Can you walk?"

"Yes, I feel much better now. I can walk on my own."

"That's good. I'll help you up."

After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she pulled Chen Dabao up and walked out of the mountain.

Not long after walking, I heard bursts of wolf howling coming from afar, getting closer and closer.

"Oh no, it's a pack of wolves." Chen Qingqing pricked up her ears alertly and looked around with a torch in hand.

Chen Dabao was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his hair stood up instantly. Although he was terrified, he still found two large stones on the ground and held them in his hands.

After a while, the sounds of the wolves were getting closer and closer. In the light of the torches, they saw pairs of green eyes emerging from the grass around them, surrounding them from all directions.

Chen Qingqing gasped. This pack of wolves obviously regarded them as prey. They had to think of a way to escape. She kept waving the torch in her hand.

The wolf was afraid of the fire and did not dare to move forward easily. It hid in the bushes and waited for an opportunity to strike.

Time passed minute by minute, and I didn't know how long it had been, when suddenly a low roar of "Awoo~~" was heard.

The wolves seemed to have received an order. They lowered their heads, moved forward slowly with light steps, stared at the two men with a faint fluorescent light in their eyes, and gradually approached.

Chen Qingqing's heart tightened instantly, and her spine felt cold.

Without giving her time to think, she quickly took out a torch from the space, lit it, and handed it to Chen Dabao, "Hurry and take it, wolves are afraid of fire."

Chen Dabao had never seen such a scene before and was already terrified and at a loss for words. When he heard Chen Qingqing say this, he quickly dropped the stone in his hand and took the torch, saying in a trembling voice, "Sister Qingqing, we won't be eaten by wolves, will we?"

Chen Qingqing tried to calm herself down. She knew that the wolves would never give up their prey easily. The only way now was to scare them away with the fire and then take the opportunity to leave.

"Don't be afraid, Dabao. As long as we have torches in our hands, they won't dare to come close. Let's walk forward with our backs together."

Chen Dabao's legs were shaking, and he couldn't move a step at all. He was so scared that tears were about to flow, and his voice was filled with tears. "Sister Qingqing, it's all my fault. Hurry and leave. I'll hold these beasts back."

"Stop talking so discouraging words. Listen to me and follow me quickly, otherwise we will both be eaten by wolves." Chen Qingqing was anxious and angry. She took advantage of the opportunity when the wolves retreated and grabbed him and ran away.

The bright light of the flames frightened the wolves temporarily, but they would never give up easily. Seeing that Chen Qingqing and the others were about to run away, the leading wolf howled to the sky, and the wolves from all directions quickly surrounded them.

It was impossible to tell how many wolves there were in the darkness, but I could see pairs of green eyes all around.

Chen Qingqing couldn't help but shudder. Is she really going to die in the wolf's belly today?

No, we must fight these beasts to the end.

Thinking of this, she kept waving the torch in her hand, trying to drive away the wolves.

But wolves are cunning by nature. Although they have no intention of attacking, they also have no intention of leaving. Their eyes are full of calmness and patience. They just watch from a distance, waiting for the opportunity.

They just stood there facing each other...
