Chapter 45: Encountering Wolves at Night
Ouyang Hong didn't expect Xiao Ba to ask him a question. He stood up and bowed, saying, "I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now..."
Seeing Ouyang Hong respond, Chen Yanhua moved her lips and wanted to say something, but after receiving her son's signal, she immediately shut up and followed Ouyang Hong forward...
The delicate girl Ouyang Feilian couldn't bear it anymore. She walked with a limp, pouting her lips and looking at Old Madam Ouyang pitifully. When Old Madam Chen Yanhua looked over, she quickly lowered her head and then moved her feet step by step with difficulty.
Seeing her precious granddaughter suffer, Chen Yanhua glared at her son Ouyang Hui fiercely, then looked at Jiang who was following her son: "Jiang, what are you dawdling about? Can't you see that Lian'er can't walk anymore? Come over here and carry her!"
Although Jiang felt sorry for her daughter, she herself was having trouble walking, so she said, "Madam, it's getting darker. I can carry Lian'er on my back, but it would be bad if she falls because of the blurred vision."
As soon as Jiang said this, Chen Yanhua and Ouyang Feilian both looked up at the sky which was already getting dark, and then thought about it carefully, and realized that this was indeed the truth.
Chen Yanhua looked at her granddaughter with some distress, and then spoke again: "Jiang, come over and help Lian'er walk. You can't even take care of your own daughter. You are simply a waste."
Hearing the old lady calling her a waste, Jiang wanted to make a few remarks in defense, but after receiving the look from her husband, Jiang swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat.
He walked around Ouyang Hui and came to his daughter Ouyang Feilian, reached out to hold one of her arms, and then walked slowly behind the old lady Chen Yanhua.
Only after the group walked some distance did Xiao Ba take a step forward to catch up.
As they slowly moved forward, the sky darkened.
The officers and soldiers escorting them also lit torches to illuminate the winding mountain road.
Maybe it was because we were already in the inner area. Even though there was the light of the torches, the pitch-black forest around us still made people feel creepy.
After walking for about two hours, the group's speed became slower than before.
This was their first time traveling at night, and they were not used to it. However, because they were in the mountains, no one dared to shout loudly, and could only mutter quietly...
Just when everyone was feeling a little tired, Xiao Qi, who was exploring the way ahead, came back with two soldiers and brought some bad news.
"Meng Yi, we can't go forward. There are wolves 500 meters ahead, and there's no open space ahead. We can only retreat and rest in the small patch of sparsely populated forest we just passed."
"There are wolves"
"Oh my god! What a shabby place! There are wolves!"
"Wolf! There's a wolf! Woof woof woof..."
Hearing the screams and cries, Meng Yi said coldly: "Why are you howling? Are you trying to attract the wolves?"
Crunch!
As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, the voices of screaming and crying immediately disappeared, but the fear in their eyes increased instead of decreasing.
After listening to Xiao Qi's suggestion, the group immediately turned around and walked back, and sat down to rest in a slightly open place about 300 meters away.
As soon as they sat down, Ouyang Feilian's doubtful voice rang out: "Second Aunt and the others are so powerful, why don't they go and kill those wolves?"
Although Ouyang Feilian is a young lady from a wealthy family and has been brought up in a pampered environment, she should know that wolves are social animals, and social animals that will seek revenge.
Everyone had some guesses as to what kind of mentality was behind asking such a question.
Before Xu Yuzhu and the others could say anything, "Diushenli" was the first to retort, "Yes, my mother is very powerful. It's not a big deal for her to deal with a few wolves, but it's probably impossible for her to get out safely with those stupid white-eyed wolves."
Upon hearing this, Jiang refused to agree and said directly, "Ouyang Mingli, who are you talking about? Who is stupid and who is ungrateful? You are so young and don't want to learn good things. You just imitate those street shrews. You are really uneducated!"
"Disagreeing with others" is indeed "disagreeing with others". As soon as Jiang finished speaking, he interrupted, "Oh! Auntie, I am uneducated, but your good daughter is well-educated for wanting my mother to die. Auntie, you really have double standards."
"What did my Lian'er say wrong? Isn't your mother a good fighter? Why doesn't she just go kill those wolves instead of pretending?"
Ouyang Mingli was about to continue speaking when his mother, Xu Yuzhu, stopped him. Then he heard his mother's voice: "Okay, let's go kill those wolves, and then we can continue on our way. Don't be so frightened that your legs become weak when you see the wolf carcasses."
Hearing this and seeing Xu Yuzhu's half-smile in the dim light, Jiang felt a little regretful. How could she have forgotten that Xu Yuzhu was an unusual woman?
However, the words have been spoken and it is impossible to take them back.
So, he stamped his feet, snorted coldly, twisted his waist and walked to sit next to Ouyang Hui.
He looked like someone who had been wronged and wanted someone to take charge of the situation, which made people want to laugh no matter how they looked at him.
Killing wolves is not something that can be done easily.
Besides, the wolves were not surrounding them now.
All they had to do was to conserve their energy for the time being, and if the wolves surrounded them, they would kill them directly.
First, they lit several bonfires in the forest and stuck torches into the ground. Then Xiao Qi, Meng Yi and the other three went to their respective sides and guarded two hundred meters away.
Although the officers and soldiers were divided into two teams and surrounded the Ouyang family, they were still worried.
This wolf is not an ordinary animal. If you deliberately provoke it, you need to have enough ability. Otherwise, it is better to stay away from it.
Although Ouyang Feiluo really wanted the wolf skin, she knew that wolves were very powerful animals, so she couldn't just rush in. She needed to determine how many wolves there were, whether there were any other wolves nearby, and whether the leader was there...
At this time, she hoped not to encounter those wolves, otherwise, she was not sure whether Ouyang Feilian's Bilian would cause any trouble.
However, things are often not as good as imagined.
The wolves actually walked towards them with graceful steps!
The worst thing was that there were wolves coming from two directions.
Seeing this, Meng Yi and Xiao Qi exclaimed: "Oh my god!"
"Oh my god! Xiaoqi, could this wolf even know the art of war?"
Hearing Meng Yi's words, Xiao Qi said directly: "You know nothing about military tactics! They are trying to surround us. Meng Yi, prepare for battle."
"Okay."
After Meng Yi spoke, Xiao Qi immediately shouted to Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, "Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, come over quickly and deal with them together."
"How many"
"That row of green eyes must be at least fourteen or fifteen."
Hearing the number and looking at the green eyes in the dark night, Xiao Jiu widened his eyes and asked: "So many?"
