Without Xu Ling needing to remind him, Miller quickly gathered up the wheat ears as soon as he saw the pile of wheat next to him that looked like a small mountain.
The cycle repeated itself, and when Alger returned with the others around the same time as before, Miller's storage space was already piled high with various ears of wheat.
It was obvious to the naked eye that he was radiating a gentle breeze, and even Alger paused in his tracks before hesitatingly approaching him.
Clearly, at this moment, he couldn't help but doubt whether the person in front of him was the Lord Miller he knew!
Fortunately, Alger quickly became numb to it. Because from then on, Miller's mood remained so good that he had no choice but to get used to it.
However, Miller's good mood only lasted a few days before it became difficult to maintain.
The day the turning point occurred was actually no different from any other day before.
On this day, Miller stood not far away as usual, watching Xu Ling move her fingers out of thin air.
However, as the seedlings on the ground began to sprout and ripen, Miller's eyes, which had been filled with joy, suddenly changed, a sharp glint appearing in them. He abruptly turned his head to look at the distant, layered forest.
The edge of the woods in the distance.
The brown-haired boy hid behind a tree almost as thick as himself, peering ahead. Despite the overgrown wasteland before him, he remained focused and vigilant.
This is his second time visiting this forest.
The first time I came here, I came with the older brother from next door.
To be honest, this forest is not a good place. Not only is it far from their village, but there are also fierce wild animals that roam around from time to time. It's not like no one has ever been too brave to come in before, just to see if there's anything valuable.
They either returned empty-handed or came out injured; only a very few managed to gain anything.
However, the gains were far from proportional to the efforts. Therefore, realizing that this forest was a waste of resources, the village elders warned the daring young men to avoid it unless absolutely necessary!
The brown-haired boy and his neighbor were both obedient children; they wouldn't have risked coming here if they hadn't had no other choice.
Although it's almost harvest time, the crops in the fields aren't growing as well as they have in previous years.
Looking at the wheat ears that just wouldn't fill with sap, almost everyone knew this year's harvest would be bad.
Life is tough.
The lives of the brown-haired boy and his neighbor's brother, who also have patients, are even more difficult.
Therefore, the two had no choice but to take the risk and venture into this remote forest.
Putting everything else aside, because it is rarely visited by people, this forest is indeed richer in resources than other places. The brown-haired boy and his neighbor's older brother were jumping around in the forest, picking things up with great enthusiasm.
At first, the two were somewhat wary, but as time went on and they found more and more items, they became more and more excited and completely forgot to be wary of their surroundings.
Just as they had finished collecting the loot and were about to leave, a crisis quietly descended upon them.
No one knew how long the vicious wolf hiding deep in the woods had been eyeing the two of them; its eerie green eyes gleamed with a hungry light.
Seeing the two men stand up, almost simultaneously turning their backs to this direction, the wolf immediately leaped up fiercely and rushed towards the two items in the pouches.
When the sound of something cutting through the air reached their ears, the wolf was already within arm's reach!
It bared its fangs menacingly, and the foul stench emanating from its gaping maw followed immediately.
I never expected that I would encounter danger just before I left!
The two panicked instantly, but their bodies instinctively grabbed a bunch of things they had gathered nearby and threw them over without hesitation.
Thanks to those things, which provided some buffer, the brown-haired boy and his neighbor immediately turned and ran. Although they were extremely panicked, they each chose a different path without thinking.
Because they didn't choose the same path, the wolf hesitated for a few moments after landing empty-handed before finally choosing its last hunting target.
Unfortunately, the brown-haired boy became the wolf's choice.
Even with the slight delay, the wolf's figure was still visibly getting closer to him.
Unfortunately, while he kept looking back at the wolf's figure, he didn't notice that the road in front of him was much more rugged than before.
Suddenly, he stumbled and fell to the ground!
The wolf, which was already close to catching its prey, saw such a good opportunity and immediately leaped up without hesitation, pouncing forward.
This time, the brown-haired boy felt even more strongly than before that he was about to die!
The stench of blood filled his nostrils, and just as he resignedly closed his eyes, the wolf that had landed on him and was about to bite off his throat suddenly let out a miserable howl.
He didn't dare open his eyes to see what was going on until the weight pressing down on him suddenly disappeared and the brown-haired boy heard the wolf howling and leaving. Only then did he muster the courage to open his eyes.
what happened?
The brown-haired boy lay on the ground, looking around.
However, apart from seeing the wolf disappear with its tail between its legs, he did not see anything unusual around him.
Having barely escaped with his life, he didn't think much of it and quickly got up to flee the place.
He dared not stay where he was, fearing the wolf might return. But because he had panicked and lost his way earlier, he had become disoriented in the woods.
With no other option, the brown-haired boy, eager to leave, simply followed his instincts, randomly chose a direction, and ran.
Fortunately, his intuition was somewhat reliable.
The boy ran for a while, and the towering trees around him gradually receded from view. Soon, a large patch of barren grass appeared before him.
It looks like he ran out of the woods!
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a rustling sound came from behind the tall weeds in front of them.
Could it be another ferocious beast?
The brown-haired boy shuddered instantly, biting his lip tightly, too afraid to move. He was terrified that any sound he made would attract the attention of a wild beast lurking in the bushes.
He remained frozen in place for a long time, until nothing happened and everything was calm and normal, before he finally relaxed.
This time, the crisis is truly over!
