As it was getting dark.
When they finally saw the group return, everyone rushed over to find their relatives.
Liu Huan kept looking at the crowd; some were injured, some were unconscious, but she couldn't see that small figure.
Seeing the somber atmosphere, her discomfort intensified.
Su's mother searched the crowd but couldn't find her son. "Where's my Shitou?"
Everyone who came along had their heads down. Uncle Su sighed, "I'm sorry to you all. I'm afraid Shi Tou has already met with some misfortune."
As soon as Uncle Su finished speaking, Su's mother fainted. Liu Huan grabbed Uncle Su's knife and ran towards the deep mountains. She refused to believe that Shi Tou had met with misfortune.
Several aunties called out from behind, "Hey, Huanhuan, don't go, don't go!"
But Liu Huan ran very fast, and there was no way to catch up with him.
Su's father and Cao'er helped Su's mother up. Da Shi, Xiao Shi, and Chang Sheng were about to chase after them when they were stopped by the villagers.
"What are you going there for? You're not allowed to go."
Xiao Shi cried his heart out, struggling incessantly with his limbs: "I have to go save my second brother, Huanhuan went too, waaaaah..."
Men don't easily shed tears, but at this moment, Su's father was already flustered and out of control. He cried and asked, "Brother, what happened? Why did you miss my Shitou?"
Just now, after successfully killing two wolves, they were exhausted and it was getting late, so they had to retreat.
They were suddenly attacked by a wolf, probably the wolf king, which was extremely fierce and bit several villagers in one go.
Everyone scattered in panic. Stone was young and unfamiliar with the environment. After he fell, everyone tried to help him up, but the wolf king suddenly appeared in front of them.
He attacked several more villagers, and then they heard the sound of wild boars coming from not far away. When they looked at the stone again, they found that he had disappeared from their sight, as had the wolf.
No one else dared to risk their lives because of the stone, and Uncle Su and Su Ming were anxious but had no choice but to evacuate first.
Upon hearing this, Su's father kept slapping himself, saying, "It's all my fault. If my legs weren't crippled, he wouldn't have had to go in my place."
The villagers only felt guilty; after all, too many people had died in the jaws of wolves, and they were afraid of dying too.
Liu Huan, who was running on the road, was also afraid of dying, but she was even more afraid that something would happen to Shi Tou.
Although she knew that Stone was the male lead, she didn't dare to gamble, fearing that her arrival would change things.
We followed the path we had made deep into the mountains, and it was indeed very dark inside, so we had to be very careful when we walked.
She didn't know where the stone was, and she didn't dare to call out. She had rushed out without taking any fire, so she could only grope her way forward step by step.
She didn't know how long she had walked when she heard a muffled groan and a wolf's low growl. Even if it was just a faint sound, she knew it was the sound of a stone.
"Stone!"
"Don't come any closer, run!" came Stone's fearful cry.
The sound caught the wolf king's attention. It stopped playing with the stones on the ground and turned to run towards Liu Huan.
Stone stumbled after her, his voice trembling: "Huanhuan, I beg you, run!"
How could Liu Huan possibly run away? The stone is still here.
She gripped the knife tightly in her hand, watching the dark figure walk towards her.
Holding her breath, she waited for it to get close before engaging it in combat to give the stone a chance to escape. She considered it as paying off the debt owed by the original owner in her previous life, and perhaps she could even return to the 21st century.
As the wolf king approached, Stone pounced on her from behind and pushed her toward the light, shouting, "Go! Go away!"
Liu Huan could barely see his clothes, but his hands felt very wet; it must have taken a lot of blood to soak them.
How could she bear to leave him behind? "Stone, let's go together."
She held onto Shi Tou's hand firmly, as if making a final confession.
The wolf king was like a cunning and treacherous person. He watched the weak struggle among themselves, first attacking their spirits, and only then did he intend to devour them.
Liu Huan walked a meter with the stone, and the wolf king jumped in front of him to block his way, then stopped moving.
Even going around from the side, it always forces them back to where they started after they've gone a short distance.
Just like a cat teasing a mouse, keeping it within its range, the same applies to the stone from before.
Liu Huan saw through its intentions. She didn't want to be made a fool of like a monkey anymore. What if the stone couldn't wait?
She picked up the knife in her hand and slashed at the wolf king. The wolf king quickly pounced on her, grabbed her, spun her around, and then put her down.
It picked up the stone again and spun it around, back and forth as if it were using the two of them as spinning tops, only stopping when it got tired.
"Huanhuan!"
Shi Tou picked her up, pressed his chin against her forehead, and cried out in a choked voice, "I beg you, please go, Huanhuan, I'm begging you!"
Liu Huan had just been dragged away by the wolf king, and only then did she realize the terrifying, overwhelming fear of dying at any moment.
As if she had made up her mind, she looked up at Shi Tou's face, her eyes sparkling as if she were making a wish: "Shi Tou, Liu Huan can't live without Shi Tou. I'll stay with you, okay? I'm not afraid with you here."
The wolf king lost its patience and lunged at the two of them.
Liu Huan, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, tackled the stone to the ground, and the wolf king bit her foot.
The stones beneath him could hear the sound of teeth piercing flesh.
"No... Huanhuan..."
Liu Huan felt like her calf was about to break; the sharp teeth felt like they were drilling into her, giving her a sense of impending death.
When the wolf king came into contact with the blood, it seemed to be stimulated by something and released Liu Huan.
The dark green eyes stared at her for a few seconds, then, as if in disbelief, backed away, howled, and ran off.
The surroundings were quiet. Liu Huan collapsed onto the rock due to the intense pain.
Shi Tou hurriedly rolled over and helped her up, his voice urgent: "Huanhuan, I'll take you back, just hang in there a little longer."
He struggled to carry Liu Huan on his back, or rather, drag her.
He struggled to drag Liu Huan, moving step by step toward the light.
The moment they emerged from the deep mountains, the wolf king appeared where they had just been, licked the blood off the ground, and left.
Once they were out of the mountains, Liu Huan had already lost consciousness. Several times, rocks knocked her down, but she was quickly helped back up.
By the moonlight, you could see two overlapping shadows stumbling forward on the narrow path.
Halfway there.
Mother Su came searching with a torch, calling out, "Shitou, Huanhuan, where are you...?"
She had just fainted and was carried back home. In her dream, she saw Shi Tou and Liu Huan calling for help.
The first thing I did after waking up was to look for someone.
Su's father pulled her back, "My older brother said that Shi Tou is likely to meet with bad luck."
She pushed Su's father away, saying, "If you won't go, I will. The child is mine, not yours."
Xiao Shi wiped away his tears and followed in his mother's footsteps, "Mother, I'm going too."
Everyone else followed suit, saying, "Mom, let's go together."
