Liu Quan, who had just finished cleaning his wound and was lying down, heard a noise coming from deep in the forest and sat up in shock, "What's that sound?"
"Wolf howl."
As Doctor Yu sorted out his newly acquired medicine box, he said without looking up, "It's not surprising to see wolves in the mountains."
The place where they stopped at night was close to the road, at the edge of the woods, and still a long way away from the depths of the mountains.
"When I was practicing medicine in the early years, I also stayed in several mountain villages for some time, and often went up the mountain with the villagers to collect herbs." Doctor Yu knew much more about the wild animals in the mountains and forests than the Wei family who had lived in the capital for a long time. Not to mention wolves, he had also seen bears and tigers!
"Generally speaking, wild animals that have lived in the mountains for a long time rarely leave the forests, and will not easily provoke humans." The wolf's howling sounded a little far away, and they were at the edge of the forest, so there was no need to worry.
Wei Yunlan walked back to the fire without knowing when, and took over the conversation: "What if it is not a normal situation? Old sir, please remember that a great disaster happened recently."
Although this area has passed the worst-hit area, it is not too far away and there is no guarantee that there will be any changes in the deep mountains that will affect the wild animals.
Wei Yunlan's cautious look made Doctor Yu serious. "That makes sense. I still have half a pack of odor-isolating powder left..."
As he said this, he stood up and was about to take out the medicine powder in his arms when he heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes in front of him. He was so startled that he subconsciously took a half step back.
Yu Qi and others tightened their weapons, and the Wei family members who were still awake also perked up and looked towards the location where the sound came from.
I saw a little deer jumping out from behind the bushes. After seeing Wei Yunlan and his group, it stopped for a moment in panic, then changed direction and continued to run away.
Doctor Yu's expression also turned serious. "Something's not right."
Mingxuan's whereabouts have not been found yet, and the Wei family can't afford any losses now. Wei Yunlan immediately made a decision, "Wake up everyone, pack up your things, and leave here immediately."
During this time on the road, everyone had already gotten used to using Wei Yunlan as the backbone. At the command, no one questioned it, and those who were still awake immediately got busy.
Liu Quan and Doctor Yu gathered the things around the campfire, while Dong Da went to call Manager Wang and others to get up.
Wei Yunlan quickly walked over to Gao and Cheng Yue'e, "Mother, sister-in-law, wake up quickly."
The sudden sound did not wake up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first, but Jiayan and little Jiarong who were lying between them.
Little Jiarong, who was as pink as a ball, started crying at the top of her lungs.
Gao and Cheng Yue'e were awakened by the crying. Cheng Yue'e quickly picked up little Jiarong, while Gao asked nervously, "Lan'er, what happened?"
Wei Yunlan quickly explained: "There may be wolves nearby, mother, we need to leave here immediately."
Hearing her say this, Gao and Cheng Yue'e couldn't help but gasp.
Cheng Yue'e hurriedly patted the swaddling clothes wrapped around little Jiarong to stop the crying. Gao rolled up the blanket under them, held the blanket with one hand, took Jiayan's hand with the other, and hurried to the carriage.
Having had the experience of escaping previously, the Wei family members divided the work and cooperated with each other, maintaining order in the chaos. In just a dozen breaths, they were all ready to leave.
This time was different from the previous time when they encountered the earth-shaking in Qingfeng County. There were no police officers or military officers around, so the family didn't have to separate and flee to avoid being seen. They just had to work together and not leave anyone behind.
The fire went out and the atmosphere became more tense in the night.
The Wei family acted quickly, but they were still a step too late.
A pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in the night, half-surrounding the Wei family.
The number is greater than expected, at least sixty or seventy.
The guards raised their weapons and stood in front. The eyes with faint green light instantly shifted from the Wei family members to the guards.
The two sides confronted each other, and the wolves did not move forward. They seemed to be measuring each other's strength, or waiting for the right opportunity.
"Don't resist." Wei Yunlan made a quick judgment in his heart.
Even if the guards of Tianshu Pavilion could fight one against five, or even one against ten, the number of wolves was too large, and it would be impossible for them to escape unscathed from the fight.
"Throw away the meat in the car, especially the raw meat." Wei Yunlan lowered his voice.
Nanny Wang gritted her teeth, unloaded two large bags of cured chicken and duck from the carriage, untied the ropes and handed them to Dong Da, then swung her arms and threw all the bags away.
Manager Wang also took out the large bones and pork that he had just bought in Suining after finishing his work yesterday, and threw them all to the wolves.
Wei Yunlan stared at the leader without blinking. If the wolves ran down the mountain because there was not enough food in the mountains, there would be no need for them to fight with them as long as they were given enough food.
The batch of mutton and pork that had been stored in Suijiang came in handy at this time.
Wei Yunlan stared at the dense grass behind the wolf leader, concentrating on moving all six pieces of pork and two pieces of mutton in the space to that position. The next moment, the space where the meat was originally placed was indeed partially empty.
There was a faint commotion among the wolves behind the leader wolf.
However, the leader wolf standing in the front just glanced at them indifferently, then raised his head and let out a long howl as a warning. The wild wolves that had already begun to bend down to gnaw on the cured chicken, cured duck and fresh meat, opened their mouths and stood up straight again at the warning, looking aggressively at the Wei family and guards.
The wolves were not after food.
But people!
After clearly realizing this, Wei Yunlan felt a little puzzled.
These wolves have such a strong sense of purpose that one suspects they are not wild wolves that grow naturally here, but rather seem to be deliberately raised in this area.
If that's the case, we can't stay here any longer.
Wei Yunlan and Yu Qi looked at each other, nodded quickly, and then turned around and urged, "Everyone, get in the car and set off."
Gao, who was almost running to the carriage, started moving her stiff legs again. However, at this moment, Jiayan, who was being held by her, tripped and fell to the ground.
Gao also staggered and her body tilted, as if she had sprained her ankle.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan quickly asked Suihe to go forward and support Gao, and he also ran a few steps and picked up Jiayan who had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, the leader wolf, who had been waiting for an opportunity, pounced towards this side with great force.
"Miss Wei, be careful!"
Yu Qi and Pei Hu, who had been on guard, raised their swords at the same time and rushed forward.
The sword light has appeared, but what is even faster than the sword light is a black shadow that suddenly flew out from the side!
