Finally, he gritted his teeth and got into the driver's seat. Seeing that someone was going to take over his job, Su Laosan quickly got out.

Su Muyao nervously sat in the passenger seat again, but this time there were two more people in the back seat.

They began by explaining the order in which to start the vehicle, and then Yingyi slowly started the car following Su Muyao's instructions.

The car quickly reversed onto the road, and then the off-road vehicle slowly moved forward by stepping on the pedals.

In just one day, Shadow One had completely learned how to drive.

"Your Highness, may I borrow one of your men for a few days? I'll return him to you in a few days."

Long Yuan inwardly scoffed. When there was nothing to do, he would call him by his own name, but when something happened, he would call him His Highness the Crown Prince.

"And what about the compensation?"

"What do you think of this car? I'll lend it to you for a while."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuan's eyes lit up.

"I need to borrow this car for a month. Shadow One, you can do whatever you want with it."

Long Yuan thought that although he couldn't drive the car himself, he could ask Ying Yi to drive it and take him around for a spin.

Su Muyao felt that a month was too long, shook her head, and finally bargained down to "half a month".

"Good deal, half a month it is."

Yingyi watched the two haggling, neither of them bothering to ask him, the person involved, what he thought.

The next morning, Yingyi and Su Muyao embarked on their journey to Liuzhou.

We chose the official road, and off-road vehicles can only travel on official roads.

We arrived in Liuzhou in just half a day, and the city outside the car window looked completely different.

Previously, Liuzhou was overcrowded, with people coming and going on the streets.

Liuzhou is now a desolate place, with every shop on the street closed.

Su Muyao's heart jumped into her throat; her intuition told her to hurry back to Taoliu Village.

At this time, the people of Taoliu Village had only been out of the village for a short time when they encountered a group of bandits.

The bandit leader immediately recognized them as people from Taoliu Village, and that each household carried large and small bags, along with so many carts loaded with grain.

Although these carts were covered up tightly, they weren't stupid; it was obvious that they weren't all clothes and blankets, but mostly grain.

I had heard that this village was very wealthy and had an official who was just like a county magistrate.

Seeing this, the old village chief quickly directed everyone to retreat back into the village.

How could these bandits possibly give them a chance?

He commanded his men to surround the villagers, only to discover that there were two wolves in the crowd.

The bandit leader hesitated to make a move, and the two stupid wolves continued to swing their legs in front of Su Lao Er as if nothing had happened.

Little Wolf found it strange, wasn't he walking away just fine?

Why did it suddenly stop again? Wasn't it supposed to be going to that place to find its little master?

"Boss, these two wolves were raised by the villagers themselves, so they shouldn't be aggressive. After all, wolves can only be tamed if they are raised from a young age."

The one who spoke was one of the bandits who was gathering intelligence.

He had already found out most of what was going on in the village, and he had also heard that the official in that family had already gone elsewhere.

However, the family that was sealed off from the palace still ran a workshop, and most importantly, the workshop was profitable. Even after they left, the workshop continued to operate.

Their primary objective was to plunder the villagers' money and grain, and most importantly, to take everything from the workshop.

The person who made the inquiries learned that the item was already selling for tens of taels of silver per piece in the capital.

They could easily become rich overnight by simply taking some of that soap to the capital and reselling it.

So after going down the mountain, we arrived at Taoliu Village.

Su Muyao and Yingyi could tell they were almost at Taoliu Village when they saw a crowd gathered at the village entrance.

A large number of people were lying on the ground. My heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself, "This is bad."

As soon as the car stopped in front of her, Su Muyao jumped out and immediately smelled the strong stench of blood.

Looking at the several corpses lying on the ground, thankfully they weren't from Taoliu Village. These corpses all had teeth marks on their necks.

It was obvious that this was Little Wolf's handiwork. When the bandit leader saw the iron lump, he came to it. Two people got out of it, one of whom looked like a guard.

Looking at the little girl coming down from the other side, who looked like she came from a wealthy family, he started to think about Su Muyao again.

At this moment, tens of thousands of wolf howls rang out from the mountain. It was the first time Su Muyao had ever heard so many wolf howls.

Soon, countless wolves rushed down from the mountain, including several tigers.

"Boss, look! There are wolves everywhere! Let's run!"

"Where are you running to? They're coming from behind us. Quick, everyone, let's go into the village first."

Upon hearing what their leader said, the underlings immediately tried to head into the village.

Although there were two wolves in the village that they were wary of, they were much easier to deal with than the ferocious beasts behind them.

Su Muyao looked at the familiar wolf king and queen leading a large pack of wolves down the mountain to help, and felt extremely gratified.

At least these animals know how to repay kindness; they didn't feed them those magical spring waters for nothing.

The bandits ran towards the village, some of them looking back, thinking that the big and small creatures that had just come over would surely be devoured by these wild beasts, leaving not even bone fragments.

But those who looked back felt that the world was no longer real.

Then they saw the lead wolf and several tigers jumping and leaping around a child.

As if welcoming this little bundle of joy, they said, "Big brother, look behind you!"

One of the bandits, seeing what was happening behind him, called out to his boss who was fleeing at top speed.

"You damn well better run, or the wolves will devour you whole."

Another henchman beside him stopped and said, "Boss, these wolves aren't chasing us. Look behind you."

Hearing that the pack of wolves hadn't chased after them, the bandit leader looked back, only to be utterly astonished by what he saw.

The villagers of Taoliu Village had retreated back into the village, but they were all squatting in Old Su's courtyard, keeping watch.

They felt that being together would provide mutual support, and when the old village chief heard the countless howls of wolves, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew it was very likely that the wolves on the mountain had been attracted by the howling of the two wolves belonging to the Su family.

If they just hold on, with the wolves protecting them, everyone in the village should be able to escape this disaster.

At this moment, Su Laoda tightened his grip on Qin Meijuan's arms, while Qin Meijuan held the child in her arms.

Su Lao Er was holding Su Lao Da's child and leading his own child, protecting the children in front of him.

Qin Meijuan sobbed beside her, "As long as I can get through this ordeal, I'll do whatever you say from now on and I'll never cause trouble again."

Just as everyone started moving, Qin Meijuan was grabbed by the arm by a bandit.

Everyone retreated back into the village; the moment his arm was grabbed, he was prepared to die.

It was Su Laoda who was desperately slashing at the big man who was holding him with a machete.

At that time, the second son's wife was not far away from him. She took the child from his arms and pulled him desperately to run towards the village.

It was at that moment that she realized how petty she was. When everyone else was trying to save their own lives, her husband, whom she had always looked down on, dared to fight bandits for her sake.

The sister-in-law whom he usually ostracized in a roundabout way actually helped him out at the most crucial moment.
