Chapter 053: The Self-Torture Strategy
Mr. Gu also knew that the current situation was not good. "Listen up, everyone. Let's fight our way out first and let the others retreat first."
The old man spoke very loudly, and was afraid that his sons in the distance couldn't hear him, so he almost shouted. Li Mumu naturally heard it too.
Such a good grandfather shouldn't have ended up like this.
Having read the book, she actually knew very well that the matter of her scumbag father was just a prelude, and the Gu family's achievements over the years were not enough to achieve this. The real reason was that the old emperor was worried about her grandfather, and his achievements surpassed his own.
My grandfather was a loyal and honest man who loved his soldiers like his own sons, so he was very popular. His three sons were all good generals and had no misconduct, which made the old emperor uneasy.
Although Li Mumu no longer had her bow and arrow, she didn't want to follow. She wanted to fight alongside her family.
The Gu family gathered together, and Li Yuan also came over with his injured leg, "Yu Ru, are you okay?"
Gu Yuru rolled her eyes at him. It was already so late, and he still had time to ask this, so she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Everyone worked together to carve out a bloody path, "Hurry up and go."
Zhang Xiang ran away with the rest of the people without saying a word.
"Mumu, come with grandma quickly." Mrs. Gu shouted.
Li Mumu shook her head, "Grandma, Mumu needs help, please go now, I'll see you later."
"Mumu~" Old Madam Gu was worried. How could she leave such a young child behind?
But the yamen runners didn't give her time to talk and kept urging her, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Zhang Xiang even rushed to the front, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to escape if he was a little late.
"Mumu, why don't you leave?" Gu Mingjing shouted.
Old Master Gu also sighed deeply, "Forget it, just stay. Stop talking nonsense. Let's fight with them today."
"Dad, I understand." The children of the Gu family responded in unison.
Old Master Gu laughed heartily. "Think back to when I led a hundred thousand elite soldiers against the Northern Rong army of five hundred thousand, taking the enemy's heads. A few dozen wolves were nothing to me. We, the Gu family, stood together and were fearless. Mumu, you are worthy of being my granddaughter. You are very courageous. You boys from Yunchao, be careful. There are no cowards in our Gu family."
Gu Yunye and Gu Yunjue were taken away. They were exhausted and knew that they were no match for the wolves. Staying would only cause trouble, but the older Gu Yunchao did not leave.
Immediately, a fierce battle broke out.
Li Mumu pulled the bow and arrow from the wolf's body, and then stood in the safety circle created for her by her family again to kill.
What if you don’t have arrows? You can reuse them.
Also, her hidden weapons, including poison needles, could all be put to good use. Everyone was busy killing wolves anyway, so no one cared too much.
She first shot the hungry wolf with a poison needle, and then her uncles killed the wolf in the instant it became paralyzed after being shot by the poison needle without her realizing it.
It can be said that the cooperation is tacit and seamless.
Although Gu Yuru hasn't held a knife for many years, the life-and-death moment has stimulated her potential, and she is invincible at this moment. She was not weaker than her brothers.
As for Li Yuan, I don’t know if he was originally bad or it was really because of his leg injury. He didn’t kill the wolf, he was clearly killed by the wolf.
"Yu Ru!" Li Yuan was knocked down by the wolf again, and he screamed in fear.
Gu Yuru frowned and looked at him with disgust.
But Mr. Gu shouted, "Yuru, I'm here, go and help."
Gu Yuru came over reluctantly, kicked the wolf that was pressing on him away, and then pulled the man up.
"Yu Ru, I knew you wouldn't ignore me."
Gu Yuru said disdainfully, "Don't make trouble. Go to Mumu's place and rest."
When Li Mumu heard that her scumbag father was coming to live with her, she was really disgusted. She couldn't do many things anymore.
"I want to protect you!"
"Who will protect whom?" Gu Yuru asked back, "I don't have time to talk to you."
After saying that, she rejoined the battle. Because there were yamen runners and some women and children before them, the Gu family had to face the attacks from the front and take care of the back, and they were deeply afraid of being ambushed.
Now, they have no worries, so even after a fierce battle, they can now fully display their skills and become more and more courageous.
When Li Mumu saw this scene, she thought of the description of the Gu family army in the book. Now the Gu family really had the posture of one man blocking the way for ten thousand.
No one knew what the scumbag dad was thinking. He rushed out when Li Mumu wasn't paying attention, saying he was there to help, but he took back the knife that was about to go out to harm Gu Yuru.
It was this moment of hesitation that gave the other wolf an opportunity. Li Mumu was frightened and quickly took out the poison needle, but at the moment the poison needle was shot out, Li Yuan used his body to protect Gu Yuru.
Because of this, Gu Yuru was unable to swing the knife again.
"Ah! Hiss!" Li Yuan snorted again, then smiled bitterly, "Yuru, I'm glad you're okay."
After the wolf was shot with the poison needle, it fell to the ground instantly, and Li Yuan fell into Gu Yuru's arms after making sure there was no danger.
Gu Mingjing frowned and said, "Is this helping? It's just causing trouble. If you can't do it, just hide away."
Gu Yuru had no choice but to place the person next to Li Mumu again. Without her saying anything, Li Mumu said, "Mom, I will look after Dad."
In order to prevent Gu Yuru from being fooled by Li Yuan's self-torture tactics, Li Mumu had to remind her, "Mom, you can obviously beat me, but Dad still insisted on going over to me. What does Dad mean?"
Li Yuan took a breath in pain, "I...I was worried that your mother would be in danger."
"Oh, Daddy is so kind. He's worried that Mom is in danger." Li Mumu said in an exaggerated tone, "But, Daddy, why did you fall down? Were you protecting Mom, or was Mom protecting you?"
Li Yuan's back was scratched by the wolf's claws, and his skin was torn. He didn't have the energy to argue with Li Mumu. He just said a word to Gu Yuru to be careful, and then lay on the ground to gasp for breath in pain.
Li Mumu ignored him and just stared closely at the situation on the battlefield. It seemed that there was no need for her to take action at the moment.
It was just that the sight of her uncle Gu Mingjing fighting the Wolf King alone made everyone nervous, but her uncle was not at a disadvantage and only suffered some minor injuries, so she didn't need to take action again to avoid arousing everyone's suspicion.
When the others had almost killed all the wolves at hand, they worked together to deal with the wolf king.
Mr. Gu wiped the blood off his face and shouted, "What a relief!"
Gu Yuru panted and waved to the two children, "Yun Chao, Mu Mu, you really surprised me."
The murderous intent in her eyes faded, and was now filled with tenderness. "Especially Mumu, you brought a surprise to my mother."
At this warm moment, Li Yuan, fearing that everyone had forgotten his existence, weakly called out, "Yu Ru!"
