Seeing Jiang's pale face, red eyes, and red nose, Xia Daohua looked like she was about to burst into tears. Before she could open her mouth, she interrupted her preemptively:
"Mom, there are two more behind..."
"What did you say?"
"I said, there are two more behind..."
Jiang felt her legs go weak, she staggered and almost fell.
Taohua and Xia Youtian hurriedly supported her, but when they saw that the other party was supporting her, they quickly let go.
Fortunately, Jiang finally stood firm.
Her face was pale, she couldn't believe it: "There are two more...wolves behind?"
Xia Youtian's hands trembled as he took two steps forward courageously: "Where are those two?"
Xia Daohua pointed behind her and said, "It's piled over there. Otherwise, my sister and I wouldn't be able to walk so slowly. It's too heavy for three wolves to carry it."
Xia Youtian felt his heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. But Daohua's words seemed to reassure him.
But, how could the two girls actually defeat three wolves? How is that possible?
Xia Youtian took a few quick steps and rushed over to take a look. Sure enough, there were two wolves dragging behind him.
The two children were quite smart. They used branches and vines to weave a large tray-like net, put the two wolves inside, and just dragged the net forward along the way.
It’s no wonder that they didn’t come back until dark.
When Xia Youtian pulled, he knew that the two wolves were very heavy.
Looking at the two children who were so tired that their foreheads were covered with sweat and their faces were pitch black, I couldn't bear to say anything to them.
He called out to Jiang: "Madam, come and help."
When Jiang saw the three wolves, her whole body went limp, completely unable to move. She took the initiative to reach out and hold Taohua: "I can't take it anymore, my legs are weak. Good Taohua, please let Fourth Aunt lean on you for a while."
Xia Youtian frowned, but it wasn't the first time he knew his wife was timid:
"Alright then. Linghua, go home quickly and ask your fifth uncle to come over and give me a hand."
Xia Daohua opened her mouth and was about to object, but then she thought, Taohua had already seen it, so there was no possibility of keeping the matter secret, so she closed her mouth again.
Besides, it is better to ask the fifth uncle to come than the second uncle.
Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are not the type to make a fuss, and Taohua is also a quiet person. Even if this matter gets out, it won't be too outrageous.
Uncle Wu came over soon.
The two old men each carried a wolf. Jiang had recovered a little by now and took the noose from Xia Daohua and Lihua. Taohua consciously stepped forward and helped Jiang hold the noose.
Xia Daohua felt a little relieved, she let go of her hands and waved at Linghua.
Lihua, Daohua, and Linghua walked obediently in front, Jiang and Taohua walked in the middle, and Xia Youtian and Xia Youliang walked at the end. Xia Youtian couldn't help but feel a little scared and looked back several times, fearing that the wolves would follow.
When Xia Daohua saw this, she couldn't help but smile.
When Lihua saw Xia Daohua's smile, her expression became a little complicated.
They did encounter wolves.
But this wolf pack only had seven members, and they were probably being hunted by someone, because one of the wolves had a broken arrow on its waist.
It could bear the pain and carry that thing to the woods near the mountain. Maybe it was really desperate.
Lihua only remembered that her hands and feet were a little sore. The moment she saw the wolves, she froze in place. She had no strength in her body and was completely unable to move.
But his younger sister Daohua didn't seem to be afraid at all. She even stood in front of him and stopped the fastest white wolf.
Then, the white wolf disappeared in an instant. Daohua suddenly had a short black stick in her hand.
The wolves and Lihua were stunned.
Xia Daohua took advantage of the wolves' moment of distraction and shouted, "Hurry up the tree!"
Lihua was originally so frightened that she stood there stupidly, but when she heard these words, she suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously did as she was told.
Using both her hands and feet, she climbed up the nearest tree. Once firmly planted on the branch, she finally looked down. The sight terrified her—her sister hadn't climbed up with her!
Lihua originally thought that Daohua might die in the wolf's mouth this time.
This day next year will be the anniversary of Daohua’s death.
Her tears were already falling, and soon she was sobbing uncontrollably.
However, she never expected that when the wolves rushed to Daohua, they would either suddenly disappear or fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching, when she touched them with a light hand.
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, Lihua couldn't help but suspect that she might be seeing things.
After rubbing her eyes vigorously several times, she realized that there were only three smaller wolves left on the ground, while the other four tall and strong ones had completely disappeared.
Even the black wolf that was limping with an arrow in its back disappeared at some point.
Xia Daohua sat on the ground, panting heavily, looking very tired. She also took out a strange-looking bottle and gulped down some strange-looking potion with a frown on her face.
Daohua sat on the ground and drank several bottles of that strange potion in a row. Then she wiped her mouth, stood up, found vines and branches, and started weaving a web.
Xia Daohua also took some hemp rope and tied up the wolves on the ground one by one, tying them tightly to ensure that even if they suddenly came back to life, they would not be able to move.
After Lihua came down from the tree, she said nothing, as if she had not noticed the strange things at all.
Xia Daohua knew she had been exposed, but seeing Lihua's expression, she knew she didn't intend to pursue the matter. So, Xia Daohua simply took out a bag of very soft beef jerky and asked Lihua to share some.
Lihua was speechless at her sister's outrageous behavior, but she was also touched by her sister's trust in her. She couldn't help but say a few words to her: "Daohua..."
Hearing the voice, Xia Daohua looked at Lihua. Her big, clear eyes made Lihua suddenly feel that she seemed to have some mean thoughts.
But after she hesitated for a while, she managed to say the rest of her words with great difficulty:
"Being different isn't a good thing. I won't tell anyone about it, but others might. You must be extra cautious in the future and never use these abilities carelessly."
Xia Daohua nodded solemnly.
The two little girls even coordinated their statements and decided that when they returned, they would just say that the wolves seemed to be being chased or poisoned.
Anyway, when they ran in front of the two sisters, they foamed at the mouth and suddenly fell to the ground.
The two of them waited timidly for a long time, but no one came to pick up the wolf, so they took advantage of this great bargain that was delivered to their doorstep.
