Facing Zhao Wei's sigh, Yunxiu put the shotgun on her shoulder and a stubborn smile appeared on her red lips.
"How can I be at ease when you haven't given me any news for the whole day? Besides, these wolf cubs are not enough for me to fill my teeth."
"Look, I can scare them all by myself!"
She spoke tough words but never mentioned that her heart was in her throat.
His eyes scanned Zhao Wei back and forth, and when he saw that he was fine, his troubled heart calmed down.
Before Zhao Wei could open his mouth to explain, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the distance.
The wolves that had been retreating suddenly turned around and ran wildly in another direction.
Yunxiu frowned and held the shotgun tightly: "Something is wrong, this whistle..."
Before he could finish his words, a cold wind blew and they were surrounded by wolves again.
The beast-like man now had red eyes, bulging veins on his neck, and he was on all fours, growling at the wolves like a wild animal.
Yunxiu had never seen such a strange person before, and asked with some trepidation: "Where did this monster come from?"
"Alas... who knows? This person has no brains, and it is impossible to communicate or understand. Now the swords are drawn and the hatred has been planted. It will be difficult to reconcile."
Yunxiu said bitterly: "Humph, anyone who dares to go against you deserves to die."
However, before she could fire another shot, she saw that the beast had already lifted up a wild wolf alive, with an unspeakable brutality.
At the critical moment, Zhao Wei threw out the herb-picking knife, and the blade scraped the man's arm, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone.
The man roared in pain, quickly threw the wolf to death, then turned around and pounced on Zhao Wei again.
Lin Yue took the opportunity to fire another shot, this time hitting the man's calf.
This person's legs were so lame that he couldn't even stand steadily.
But at this moment, the beast did something terrifying.
He actually picked up the poisonous snake coiled around his ankle and threw it towards the two of them.
"Be careful!" Zhao Wei pulled Yunxiu behind him and felt his scalp tingling.
The venomous snake happened to land on a nearby wild wolf, then immediately wrapped itself around its neck and bit it hard.
The poisoned wolf twitched wildly and turned around to pounce on its companions, instantly causing strife among the wolf pack.
Fortunately, it was thrown to the wild wolf. If it was thrown to Yunxiu, it would really be...
No matter how powerful Yunxiu is, he is still a little afraid of snakes.
In other words, most people cannot overcome their fear of snakes.
Zhao Wei took the opportunity to pick up the herb-picking knife and pulled Yunxiu back.
That beast can no longer survive.
Not a single wolf would survive.
Yunxiu pointed his hunting rifle at the wolf again.
She came here specifically to save people, so she can't let him down.
After the couple worked together, they spent an hour successfully killing the wild wolves, and thus cleared the forest.
Otherwise, if you enter this mountain and accidentally fall into a wolf pack, you won’t know how you died.
No matter how powerful Zhao Wei is, he has almost no chance of winning against so many wild wolves with his bare hands.
It can only be described as a lose-lose situation.
After killing all the wild wolves, the two men did not sit idle either, as they skinned them directly on the river beach.
There happened to be a water source nearby, which made things much more convenient for them.
These wolf skins can be taken home and made into carpets, or they can be processed and exchanged for food.
As for the wolf meat, they only brought back one and discarded the rest.
There are just too many of them, and some are poisonous, so I don’t want to touch them.
The scene was somewhat tragic and the two were very tired, but the most important thing was that the origins of that beastly man were still unclear, which made them feel even more sinister.
As dusk permeated Elm Hideaway, Zhao Wei, carrying wolf meat on his back and a few blood-dripping wolf skins on his shoulders, walked home side by side with Yunxiu.
The crows on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village suddenly flapped their wings collectively, and a mass of black feathers fluttered down at their feet.
Yunxiu subconsciously tightened her grip on the hunting rifle. Zhao Wei said to her, "It's okay. This is just a natural phenomenon. They must have been attracted by the wolf meat."
Despite this, he still held the herb-picking knife in his hand.
Pushing open the mottled wooden door, a sweet and fishy smell filled the room. The oil lamp on the stove flickered, causing the shadows on the wall to distort.
Yunxiu raised his gun and looked around, his eyes suddenly fixed on the eight-immortals table - there was a half-eaten roasted rabbit on it, but none of the people in the family were gone.
"Master, Father, Mother..."
No one responded.
Zhao Wei squatted down and picked up the rabbit meat. He found that it was still warm, which meant that the person who ate it was in a hurry and suddenly dropped the rabbit meat and left in a hurry.
What could have happened that made someone run away without even having time to eat?
At this moment, the gate was pushed open and it was Liu Qian who ran over.
"Brother and sister-in-law, it's great that you are finally back!"
"Come with me to the house over there. We have prepared a table full of delicious food and wine, waiting for you to come back and eat!"
Liu Qian's words surprised Zhao Wei a little.
"Ah, this... It's not a festival, why are you setting up a banquet so suddenly?"
Didn’t they just come back from a life-and-death experience?
Is it time to celebrate?
Liu Qian scratched his head and smiled foolishly, but there was a blister on the back of his hand caused by oil splashing.
"My mother said that she would like to treat your family to a meal to thank you."
"I made all this myself. Please don't despise me if I don't do it well."
"Tsk tsk... you guys are doing this, okay, we're hungry too, let's go take a look..."
On the way there, Liu Qian naturally inquired about the beast's fate.
After learning that he was bitten to death by a poisonous snake and then torn apart by a pack of wolves, he was naturally too scared to ask any more questions.
After turning two corners, a house with red lanterns hanging on it came into view.
In the usually deserted courtyard, people were now moving around, but no sound of talking or laughing could be heard. There was only the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting bowls and dishes, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence.
Zhao Wei's fingers unconsciously stroked the herb-picking knife, and he always felt that this atmosphere was particularly rare.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, a rich aroma of meat hit me.
Yunxiu wrinkled her nose and swallowed imperceptibly.
In the center of the main room, a large round table was filled with dishes. The braised pork was shiny and greasy, and the steamed taro was steaming. Everyone was waiting for them to take their seats.
"Mom and Dad, my cousin and his wife are here!" Liu Qian shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty main room.
Zhao Nan turned around, a big smile on his face, "Hurry, hurry, take a seat."
"This is specially prepared for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Wei took Yunxiu to sit down without any hesitation.
Dahei was huddled between the two men at their feet, waiting to be fed.
In such a wonderful atmosphere, Zhao Wei told what happened today.
For a moment, everyone's chopsticks were retracted in fear.
