Chapter 245 Encountering a Pack of Wolves



Looking at the various expressions on the faces of the people in front of him, he deliberately dragged out his words, "With so many of you, all so kind, you could easily scrape together ten yuan!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Wang Hongmei, "Right? You two have such a good relationship, you wouldn't be unwilling to help with such a small favor, would you?"

"Besides, won't Wan Chun'er pay it back? You don't need to be afraid. You live together every day, she won't run away."

After saying that, he turned to Wan Chun'er and said, "I wish you can raise the money soon!" Looking at the crowd whose expressions had changed drastically, he smiled with satisfaction, turned around and strode away, his back view revealing his happiness.

Isn't that what makes you happy?

Xie Yan has finally gotten his revenge!

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this educated youth settlement was somewhat incompatible with him, she would have wanted to stay and watch the exciting performance to come. After all, they wouldn't know the pain until they themselves were stabbed in the back.

He still wanted to know what would happen to those united female educated youths after he struck them with his knife, without him as their common enemy.

Wang Xiao, who was eavesdropping from a distance, witnessed everything.

He bit his lower lip tightly, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists. Watching Xie Yan's retreating figure, he lowered his head, the coldness in his eyes almost freezing into frost, as if he wanted to freeze the whole world.

However, when she looked up again, she instantly adopted a pitiful appearance, her eyes filled with grievance and vulnerability.

He leaned weakly against Wang Yindi, his eyes red, and said, "Yindi, you shouldn't worry about me. This whole thing started because of me, and I can't just ignore it." As he spoke, he began to breathe heavily, as if he were really seriously ill.

How could Wang Yindi, such a selfish person, let Wang Xiao take care of this matter? He forcefully supported Wang Xiao and forced him to follow him back.

When he got home, he saw Wang Xiao sighing and feeling extremely guilty, and he even secretly made two poached eggs for him at lunch.

With Gu Bin, a master of gossip, Xie Yan quickly learned the outcome of the handling of the educated youth settlement.

They really did do as Xie Yan said.

However, unlike when they borrowed directly from Xie Yan, all of them wrote IOUs.

Even Zhang Linghui borrowed two yuan.

Although she wasn't involved in the whole thing, she would be living in the educated youth settlement from now on, and they would see each other all the time, so she had no choice but to borrow the money.

Holding the IOUs in her hand, Wan Chun'er felt a sense of disorientation, as if she were having a nightmare.

She suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that at the beginning, this matter had nothing to do with her, so why did it end up like this?

So many people went out that day, how come she's the only one who has to bear so much debt?

Thinking this, she clutched the IOUs and burst into tears.

She began to doubt Wang Xiao's actions. Was he really sick?

Or was it intentional? He's been gone for so many days, leaving her alone in this mess.

And that day, he was able to move directly into Wang Yindi's house. Why did he have to go outside and freeze that day?

Is all of this really just a coincidence?

But all of this has nothing to do with Xie Yan anymore.

After this incident, Xie Yan completely lost all interest in the educated youth settlement. In his mind, it was like a whirlpool of endless trouble, where even a dog passing by would get into a mess.

After this ordeal, his mind gradually calmed down, and he resumed his previous routine of reading and studying.

However, there is one thing that is causing him great distress right now: cooking.

Every time he stood in front of the stove and looked at the pile of ingredients, he felt a strong sense of resistance.

He was willing to wash the pots and pans. Watching the dirty dishes and chopsticks being cleaned little by little by himself gave him a sense of satisfaction and was very stress-relieving.

Cooking, however, was a long and arduous ordeal for him.

Every time he cooked with Gu Bin, he felt as if time was stretched out infinitely, and every minute and second was extremely agonizing.

Especially in the last few days, the diet has changed from two meals a day to one meal a day.

Xie Yan sighed. He had never found cooking difficult when he was helping his wife with cooking before. Time always flew by amidst laughter and joy. But now, every step of cooking had become a torment.

Xie Yan started reminiscing about the takeout she ordered in her past life.

If there's no takeout, instant noodles will do!

Boil some water and soak it for a while.

For a lazy person like him, as long as he can eat and stay alive, he doesn't care about nutritional value anymore.

Cooking is really too difficult for him.

Xie Yan looked at the overcooked noodles in front of him and sighed. It was another day he missed his wife.

Xie Yan wished his wife would come back right now.

If he had a cell phone, he would have called his wife to come home long ago.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuehui and Gu Che, living deep in the mountains, are overwhelmed by a thorny issue.

The mountains and forests were quiet and secluded, with the occasional calls of unknown birds adding to the tense atmosphere.

Yu Yue ignored the pain in her shoulder blade and stared intently at the wolf pack below.

They dared not relax for a moment.

Don't underestimate them just because they're a bunch of beasts; they're actually quite clever, having trapped her and Gu Che in this tree for three days already.

They didn't have much food with them, and they were truly starving and freezing.

They were locked in a stalemate with the wolf pack, seeing who would give out first.

The story begins three days ago.

On this day, Yu Yuehui and Gu Che stepped into a small valley.

Upon entering, a humid and warm atmosphere immediately hits you, a stark contrast to the icy and snowy landscape outside the valley. Because it's rarely visited, the vegetation in the valley grows wildly, and the snow here is only a thin layer, with many tenacious grass tips peeking out from it, as if proclaiming the indomitable spirit of life.

Yu Yuehui had sharp eyes and spotted several oddly shaped plants among a patch of messy grass.

She was shocked and looked at it a few more times in disbelief. Yes, it really was ginseng! It really was ginseng!

Because Xie Yan often talked about being able to dig up this rare thing in the mountains, she not only knew about ginseng, but was also quite familiar with it.

Xie Yan always joked that he was unlucky, but Yu Yuehui often went deep into the mountains. He had confidence in Yu Yuehui, so he taught her to identify various precious medicinal herbs early on, just in case she encountered them one day but didn't know their value and missed out.

Knowing that this thing was precious, Yu Yuehui never expected to encounter it, but she studied it carefully and never thought that it would actually come in handy today.

Yu Yuehui was overjoyed and turned to look at Gu Che, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Master, there are ginsengs here, is it convenient to dig them up?"

Gu Che looked in the direction she pointed, but only saw an ordinary patch of grass and couldn't make out anything. However, he nodded trustingly and said gently, "Wait a moment, let me check."
