As for Shen Xinglan, she remembered his skill in picking leaves and flying flowers, so she grabbed a handful of pebbles and put them on the cart, asking him to throw the pebbles at the wolves.
As expected, Shen Xinglan did not disappoint. Any wolf that approached the third house was shot through the head, splattering blood everywhere.
With Shen Yujiao and Shen Xingyi in front, Mu Wanting and Shen Xinghe in the middle, and Shen Xinglan and Shen Mingjiao at the back for final protection, the three-family household of more than ten people was practically an iron fortress, and even a pack of wolves couldn't get close.

They had only fifty officials in total, escorting more than two hundred convicts, and now there were a hundred wolves surrounding them.
