"Well, I won't force it."
Zhan Nanxing said in a cold voice, glancing lightly at the volunteers' campfire that was about to go out.
"If you are willing to accept Zhao Zhao's kindness, then accept it. If you are not willing, we will not rush to offer it to you."
Wangtou felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
He always felt that these words were meant for him. He had stood up for the volunteers several times before and wanted to get some benefits from the Zhan family.
Now he has to take advantage of other people's kindness.
"Don't think too much. We must be united on this journey." Zhao Jiu and the other two were smart. They patted Wang Tou's shoulder and said.
"Since you are here, you should be alert. We may not be able to keep the bonfire here." As they were talking, Shen Zhaozhao's voice suddenly interrupted.
Zhan Nanxing turned around and saw that Shen Zhaozhao had come back again without knowing when.
“Zhao Zhao…”
He reached out and took Shen Zhaozhao’s hand.
There was some worry in his eyes, worried that she would be sad because her good intentions were being maliciously speculated.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded gently at him, leaned close to Zhan Nanxing's ear and whispered, "These people are basically strangers. I never get angry because of strangers."
"As for you guys," Shen Zhaozhao's eyes curved and he squeezed his hand, "as long as you always stand by my side."
Zhan Nanxing looked at her deeply. He had something to say, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people.
"What's that over there?"
Not far away, a young man from the Chen family shouted loudly.
Shen Zhaozhao looked over quickly.
Beside the campfire, Cao Ya immediately picked up a burning branch, held it forward, and the faint light of the fire illuminated a corner.
In the darkness, the only sound was the dripping rain and some strange snoring sounds, like someone breathing heavily.
Click.
Something stepped on the dead branches on the ground and broke them.
"Zhao Zhao!" Zhan Nanxing's first response was to pull Shen Zhaozhao to his side, put his hand on the bow and arrow, narrowed his eyes, and stared into the darkness.
In the rain and fog, dots of green gradually became clearer.
It was like a fluorescent evil star flashing in the black night.
"Wolf!"
The volunteers were the first to get in a mess. Someone hurriedly tried to get a piece of firewood from the campfire, but when he stretched out his hand, he remembered that this was grassland, with few branches and bonfires were basically lit with dry grass.
"Everyone, guard the campfire, and those who have weapons should stand in a circle!" Zhan Nanxing shouted loudly.
The women of the Zhan family were the first to walk to the circle. They had crossbows and sleeve arrows in their hands, which were enough to resist for a while. The men of the other two families felt embarrassed when they saw the women of the Zhan family taking the lead.
"How can a woman go to the circle of friends?"
"Do you really think all men are dead..."
"My phone is still working fine, give me a seat..."
Seeing that everyone was of one mind, Shen Zhaozhao felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to take out the shotgun from the space, he was stopped by Zhan Nanxing:
"Zhao Zhao, help me, I want to stand up."
Zhan Nanxing looked at her and pointed at the bow and arrow in his hand. If he was half-sitting, he would not be able to exert any strength at all.
Shen Zhaozhao thought about it, and did not take out the hot weapon first, but helped Zhan Nanxing to stand up.
In the darkness of night, on a donkey cart, Zhan Nanxing bent his bow and drew his arrow, the bowstring was taut, he squinted his eyes, and stared in one direction.
In the light of the fire, Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath.
During this heavy rain, a whole pack of wolves came. Looking around, they even surrounded them.
“Ouch…”
As the leader wolf howled to the sky.
The wolves moved suddenly and rushed towards them at a rapid speed.
Zhan Nanxing's eyes became fierce and he suddenly let go of his hand.
A sound of breaking air was heard.
Three feather arrows flew out quickly and knocked down the three leading wolves. The sleeve arrows and crossbows in the hands of the Zhan family also came in handy.
The wolves' first wave of attack failed. The campfire here was burning, illuminating a circle of wolf corpses.
The leader wolf seemed very impatient, circling around, staring at them cunningly with its fluorescent green eyes.
“Ouch…”
There was another creepy wolf howl. This time, the wolves changed direction and no longer attacked this side, but rushed towards the volunteers.
"ah!"
Shen Zhaozhao listened to the miserable sound and clenched his hands.
The volunteers' campfire had been completely extinguished by the wolves' attack, and with the light from the fire on their side, they couldn't see the situation over there clearly.
But listening to the miserable sounds and cries for help, I think the situation is not going to be good.
Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, the damp air was mixed with the smell of blood.
After coming to ancient times for so long, this was the first time she encountered such a tragic situation.
"Zhao Zhao, they didn't listen to you. You sowed the seeds yourself and you have to bear the consequences yourself." Zhan Nanxing had been paying attention to Shen Zhaozhao. Seeing that she was always looking at the volunteers, he felt a little panicked.
He held the bow in one hand and pressed Shen Zhaozhao's shoulder with the other.
"Don't go."
He is very selfish.
I can't take care of others, and being able to protect my own family is already the limit.
"Yeah." Shen Zhaozhao turned her head slightly and covered Zhan Nanxing's hand on her shoulder. "It's just listening to these sounds, it's quite scary."
Amid the sound of rain, there was a faint sound of wild animals chewing bones.
She was not a good person either. Rather than risking her life to save an ungrateful person like in her dream, she would rather just listen to them being eaten by the wolves.
"Amitabha." The old lady of the Zhan family closed her eyes and chanted the Buddha's name.
Crash——
The rain suddenly became heavy, and gusts of fishy wind brought the rain and blew over, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"Alas, our fodder!"
Someone screamed in surprise.
Shen Zhaozhao looked over quickly, but the rain was too heavy and she couldn't see clearly.
All I could see was that the crowd was in a bit of a mess. Some were busy hiding from the rain, some were stunned by the situation on the volunteer side, and some were desperately trying to fish something out of the ground.
"I'll be over there for a moment." Shen Zhaozhao said hurriedly to Zhan Nanxing, and quickly went to the campfire.
I saw that the hay that had been gathered together was blown away by the strong wind.
Many people went to the ground and tried every possible way to rescue the grass, but it was of no avail. The scattered grass was soaked by the heavy rain.
If there is too much fodder like this, the campfire will go out.
"What should we do?" Mrs. Cao and her son Cao Yue tried hard to gather all the fodder.
After struggling for a long time, I was able to collect a small handful.
The air is full of fishy smell.
She collapsed, hugged Cao Yue, sat on the ground and cried bitterly, "My poor Yue'er..."
"No, the hay is wet."
"What are you afraid of? The Zhan family has weapons and can resist until dawn..."
"How is that possible? They are wolves!"
"The fire on the Volunteers side went out, that's all..."
"Shut up!" Cao Ya shouted suddenly.
The crying and shouting around suddenly stopped.
Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyes and looked over. At the edge of the campfire, in the firelight, Cao Ya had a cold little face and a murderous expression. The red firelight was reflected on that face.
Leaping.
Shen Zhaozhao was a little dazed.
It was as if I saw this little girl walking out from a sea of corpses and blood.
"What are you afraid of?" Cao Ya suddenly smiled, revealing a pair of white silver teeth, "Some people die and some live. When the time comes, the living people can live with the dead!"
"That's easy for you to say..." An elder of the Cao family sighed when he saw that it was his little girl who spoke, "You are just a little girl, what do you know..."
"What if I say that I know that neither of us will die?" Shen Zhaozhao strode forward, smiled at Cao Ya, raised his hand, and rubbed her hair that was wet by the heavy rain.
"My sister is here."
Cao Ya's whole body suddenly shook, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears and filled with emotions that were difficult to understand.
She bit her lip and hummed softly.
“The third daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, the fire is really going out!” The elder of the Cao family had seen Shen Zhaozhao’s ability to save everyone several times, so he didn’t dare to question it, but just reminded her.
Shen Zhaozhao walked behind Cao Ya and took out a barrel of gasoline that he had bought just in case from the space using a blind spot.
