Chapter 264 Found the Cubs

After coming out of the space, Xia Juanjuan heard the sound of wood again, followed by a painful howl of a wolf, as if it was injured.

The sound was very close to her!

It was difficult to judge the direction just by sound. Xia Juanjuan often went into the mountains and listened to the movements more often, so she made the right judgment on the general direction. However, she only teleported to a place closer through space.

Now we still have to follow the sound to find the way there.

The deep mountains in this area are rarely visited by people, so the road is difficult to travel.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the bushes nearby. Xia Juanjuan stopped quickly and held a dagger tightly in her hand.

However, after a while, a half-grown wolf emerged from the bushes. After seeing her, it approached her affectionately and circled around her feet.

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was one of the two wolf cubs she had helped rescue in winter. She had never expected that in just two or three months, they had grown so big.

The little wolf circled her twice, then let out a low growl and ran in one direction.

Xia Juanjuan followed immediately.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a hidden place in the bushes. Several larger snow wolves were hiding vigilantly in the bushes. The wolves seemed to recognize her. One of them glanced at her, turned around and walked inside.

Xia Juanjuan went around the big rock and saw Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao snuggling beside their brother Xiaowen in the night, sobbing out of fear, sleepiness and grievance.

It was no wonder they were scared. If it was daytime, the cubs would probably think the wolves were big dogs that looked furry, and they wouldn't be scared. But now in the middle of the night, the eyes of the snow wolves were like small light bulbs. Even if an adult encountered them on the road at night, they would be scared, let alone a few children.

However, when she saw that they were safe and sound, Xia Juanjuan's legs suddenly went weak and she fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

This time, it seemed that the snow wolves rescued her children.

Fortunately... Fortunately, she had helped them before, and now they would repay her with a thousandfold gratitude.

Xia Juanjuan almost trembled as she rushed over and held the triplets and Xiaowen in her arms.

However, she still remembered that there should be living criminals nearby, so she lowered her voice and choked:

"Xiao Wen, Yan Yan, Ye Ye, Yao Yao, I'm sorry, mommy is late!"

The triplets were tired of crying, and were rubbing their eyes with their fists, about to fall asleep. But when they smelled the smell of their mother, they woke up again and started crying "Wow..."

She shouted in a loud voice: "Mom... I want Mom!"

Xiaowen burst into tears, but he quickly covered Yanyan's mouth, put his fingers in front of his mouth, and whispered, "Be good, don't shout! Otherwise, the bad guys will come and catch us again!"

After hearing this, the triplets remembered that their brother had just told them not to quarrel, otherwise those bad uncles would come over to hug them and beat them again. They were so scared that they dared not cry anymore. They grabbed Xia Juanjuan's clothes tightly with their little hands and trembled.

Xia Juanjuan was almost heartbroken.

She held all four children in her arms and said softly, "Be good. As long as you are here, I will never let those bad guys take you away again."

As she spoke, she checked the bodies of the four little kids. The triplets didn't have any serious injuries, but their faces and hands were covered in mud.

Xiaowen's clothes were torn and his hands and feet were scratched by branches because he had been chasing after the enemy all the way into the mountains.

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but feel distressed and grateful. Fortunately, Xiaowen chased in, otherwise, the one-year-old cubs, even if they were rescued by the snow wolves, would have cried and yelled, exposing their position and being shot by those criminals with wooden cannons!

Xia Juanjuan took out Yunnan Baiyao from her pocket and applied it to his more serious wounds, saying, "That's it for tonight. I'll bandage you tomorrow when we get down the mountain."

Xiaowen nodded obediently.

At this moment, perhaps because the triplets' cries were heard, a muffled voice was heard from another place in the forest.

"Boss, judging from the noises of those kids, it should be coming from over there. What should we do?"

Another person said, "Bah! They are so lucky! We thought that throwing them into the wolf pack would hold them back while we escape, but we didn't expect that the wolves didn't eat them!"

"This is bizarre! Two of our people died because they couldn't run away in time! The wolves didn't even eat the three little kids who were only a year old, and the little boy who followed us in without knowing the consequences!"

"Boss...what should we do now? Let's...run away!"

"Bah! Run away! Five or six brothers came to do this job, and before we even saw the money, two of them died! If I don't avenge this, I'm not Cui Lao San! And, do you think you can run away? This wolf pack is cunning, and it looks like there are more than ten of them! Do you believe that we will be torn to pieces by them as soon as we go out?"

"Then...what should we do?" someone said with a tearful face.

"Waste! Why are you crying? We have enough ammunition, why should we be afraid of wolves? One against one, two against two! Let's wait till tomorrow morning, then we can think about how to escape! That bitch Liu Lan dared to cheat me, I will beat her to death! And those little guys, if they fall into my hands tomorrow, I will kill them with my own hands to avenge my brothers!"

"Boss... you should ask for the ransom first and then kill him, otherwise our brothers will die in vain."

"Nonsense! I don't know? I need you to teach me!"

As these conversations were going on, a wolf's painful howl was heard suddenly. When the other wolves heard it, they also howled towards the sky one after another, as if they were grieving for the injured wolf.

The criminals' conversation could be heard again: "Old Five, go and drag the injured wolf in! If we can't escape, we can still eat wolf meat!"

The gangster called Lao Wu didn't dare to say: "Boss... didn't you just say that you would be torn into pieces by wolves if you go out? I... I'm not hungry yet... Let's wait until tomorrow morning. The wolf is injured. It will probably bleed to death tomorrow morning. It won't be too late to drag it back..."

The boss was so angry that he almost died: "Waste!"

But he also knew that the wolves were in the dark while they were in the light. Two of their men had already died, and now there were only four of them left. If one more person got out, it would be even more disadvantageous to their side.

Therefore, he didn't say anything else.

Xia Juanjuan was thinking about saving the injured wolf. Hearing the cries of the wolves, she knew that the wolf was probably seriously injured.

Snow wolves usually try to avoid humans and live in the mountains and forests. They will not confront humans head-on unless necessary.

After the wolf cubs were captured last time, they went to the village to rescue the cubs and then retreated deeper into the mountains.

So, if it weren't for saving her children, they would definitely avoid these criminals and hide far away!

And now, not only did they attack the criminals, they also protected several cubs, and now some wolves were injured!

It was neither reasonable nor moral for her to sit idly by and do nothing.

Because their mother was by their side and they were frightened and hungry the whole night, the three little ones snuggled up to Xia Juanjuan and fell asleep.

Xiaowen also dozed off.

Xia Juanjuan gently placed the triplets on the ground, then tiptoed up.

A female wolf seemed to have intelligence. She walked over quietly and lay down where Xia Juanjuan had just been, replacing her position.

The triplets were uneasy for a moment because of their mother's departure, but they soon calmed down when they felt the soft fur of the mother wolf.

Xia Juanjuan walked lightly around the big rock, then entered the space and teleported directly to the side of the injured wolf.

This place should be within the shooting range of the criminals, so she didn't dare to make any sound. She bent down as quickly as possible, picked up the wolf, and then went straight back into the space!

This time, she did not come out immediately, but directly used spiritual spring water to clean the wolf's wounds in the space.

The wolf had been shot in the hind leg, the bullet was still inside, and it was bleeding profusely!

Xia Juanjuan gasped!

She quickly took out the anesthetic and injected it around the wolf's wound, then took out the scalpel and cut the bullet out.

Fortunately, she had been given anesthesia, otherwise the wolf would have moved wildly in pain, and might even have thought that she was hurting it and attacked itself!

After getting the bullet out, Xia Juanjuan quickly used spiritual spring water to clean the wound. The bleeding that had been unable to stop soon stopped.

Xia Juanjuan sprinkled wound medicine on it and bandaged the wound with a bandage.

After the wound was treated, she brought the wolf out of the space.

The other wolves immediately gathered around, as if to express their concern.

Xia Juanjuan returned to the kids and thought about what to do next.

In the past, she had tried to bring Grandma Yao, who was about to die, into the space, but she didn’t know if the triplets and Xiaowen could do the same.

If possible, she didn't care about anything else and just wanted to take them to A Quan's place immediately!

Seeing that the four little ones were sleeping soundly, she took the triplets into her arms, grabbed Xiaowen's wrist, touched the birthmark on her wrist, and silently recited to herself to enter the space.

When she opened her eyes again, the triplets were lying safely in her arms. It was a success!

But Xiaowen was not brought in.

Xia Juanjuan was speechless.

What does this space mean?

When bringing people in, do we still have to classify them into different levels, whether they are family members or not?

She tried a few more times, but just couldn't bring Xiaowen into the space, so she had to give up.

Xiaowen was so young, but he ran into the mountains alone to chase the criminals and try to rescue his brothers. Xia Juanjuan naturally couldn't abandon him, so she brought the triplets back home through space.

Therefore, I stayed patiently on the mountain.

Fortunately, Secretary Zhao and his men already know the criminals' hideout, and this place is not too far away. They will definitely be able to find it tomorrow.

All she had to do was protect the cubs and the wolf pack and avoid being hit and injured by those criminals again!

After thinking about it, Xia Juanjuan entered the space again and took out a wooden basket and put it with her.

Before she crossed over, she basically didn't store any weapons in her space. The main reason was that she felt that the environment was still safe in this era. If she stored too many weapons, she wouldn't be able to use them. On the contrary, if she used them indiscriminately, they would be discovered, which would bring disaster!

However, she still stockpiled two Brownings and some bullets in case of emergency.

Browning is an antique from the 1920s and 1930s, and there is no problem with its performance.

If you use it in this era, you don't have to worry about being discovered that you are using something that hasn't appeared in this era.

As long as no one sees it, it won't arouse suspicion.

She didn't really hope to use it. But if it really came to a last resort, she wouldn't care too much for the sake of protecting the cubs!

In the second half of the night, Xia Juanjuan also began to feel a little sleepy.

There were Snow Wolves standing guard vigilantly all around, so there was no need to worry about those criminals taking the risk and attacking here, so Xia Juanjuan fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but suddenly there was a wooden creaking sound, waking her up!
