Chapter 29 When did my older sister become so amazing?
The wolf pack thundered up in the blink of an eye, their eyes a deep green that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Master, this wolf pack consists of thirty adult wolves and twenty-five semi-adult wolves, for a total of fifty-five!"
Shen Lanxi could find out the exact number of heads from Nu Bai, but no one else could, and she couldn't tell anyone the exact number.
So, upon seeing the massive pack of wolves, everyone panicked and forgot all their previous plans.
"Pour the wine!"
"ignition!"
"The wolf that killed its alpha!"
Shen Lanxi walked up to the crowd with a stick in her hand. The stick landed on the stone with a loud thud, instantly bringing everyone back to their senses.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up!"
"Young and strong men, surround the old, weak, women and children in a circle. If you have weapons, pick them up!"
Shen Lanxi shouted, and Liu Laohu shuddered violently. He quickly drew his knife and yelled, "Quick, listen to her! Do whatever she says!"
At this moment, nothing else matters but saving my life!
Spring Snow brought over a wine jar and quickly poured some wine onto each pile of firewood, while Autumn Frost lit the fire behind them. The campfire was ready; they simply lit a torch, and it blazed instantly.
Wolves are naturally afraid of fire. When they see a fire starting up, they howl and retreat, hunching their backs, baring their teeth, waiting for the right moment to pounce.
There wasn't much firewood on the rocky mountain to begin with, and the raging flames, though seemingly powerful, couldn't last long. Everyone clenched their fists nervously, staring silently at their surroundings.
Suddenly, a wolf howled, and the wolf pack charged into the crowd from the lowest point of the fire, heading straight for the constables.
Shen Lanxi stood in front of the Shen family, holding a stick. Her slender back was elongated by the firelight, like an unshakable mountain guarding the people behind it.
The constables, armed with knives, immediately began slashing at the wolves charging in. More and more wolves rushed into the circle of fire. At first, the prisoners could hide behind the constables, but when they could no longer escape, they picked up stones and joined the wolf-killing frenzy.
Shen Yuanjing rushed to Shen Lanxi, opened his arms, and shielded her behind him.
"Big sister, I'll protect you!"
Shen Congwen also ran over.
"Lanxi, quickly hide in the back!"
"Big sister, give me the stick!" Shen Yuanjun reached out to take the stick from Shen Lanxi's hand, but after getting it, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Why is that stick so heavy? He must not have eaten enough for days and his strength is failing him. His older sister can lift it, there's no way he can't!
The members of the Shen family's eldest branch quickly surrounded Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi looked at her father and brothers who were protecting her from all sides, her eyebrows curved, and she reached out to take the stick from Shen Yuanjun's hand!
Shen Yuanjun was stunned: "Big sister..." Big sister would definitely use a stick to protect herself, but he still has stones!
Just as they were about to bend down to pick up the stone, the person they were protecting suddenly flew up several feet in the air, and the next second, to the astonishment of his father and brothers, he shot towards the wolf pack like a meteor!
Shen Congwen and his son; "..."
A whooshing sound rang out, followed by the screams of wolves. A long staff swept across the wolf as if charging into an uninhabited land. With a single blow, the wolf struck the staff first cracked its bones, then flew five or six meters away, landing with a thud, twitching twice before falling silent.
The wolf's carcass fell to the ground, startling a moment of deathly silence.
The wolves, along with the others, all stared at her.
The next second, Shen Lanxi raised her stick again. Before anyone could react, a crisp sound rang out, followed by a thud as another wolf carcass fell to the ground.
The wolves, their ferocity aroused, all roared at Shen Lanxi and attacked her en masse.
Everyone's gaze towards Shen Lanxi changed, and their eyes shifted to the Shen family as well.
Shen Lanxi's long staff moved as fast as lightning. With a whooshing sound, any wild wolf that was swept away was either sent flying, killed, or seriously or lightly injured.
Not one of them can stand upright!
The mournful howls of wolves echoed in the distance. Shen Lanxi held a long staff, her whole being powerful yet cold. Although she was holding a staff, without any sharp edge or gleam, it gave people the feeling that she was holding a long sword or spear.
She took a step forward, and the pack of wolves surrounding her quickly retreated, their dark green eyes fixed on her, always maintaining a distance of about five meters.
Not far away, mournful cries rang out again.
The wolves, with their backs arched, howled at her twice, then turned and fled!
After a deathly silence, someone lost their grip on the stone, and it fell to the ground with a clatter. The person who had lost their grip on the stone shuddered violently, as if greatly startled.
The others also came to their senses, their eyes falling on Shen Lanxi with fear, apprehension, and a touch of awe.
Among these people, the Shen family was the most affected, especially the members of the eldest branch of the Shen family.
"Big sister, when did you become so amazing?" Shen Yuanjing asked in a daze.
Shen Congwen immediately scolded, "Call me elder brother!" There were too many people around; if they found out his daughter was a girl, it could cause trouble!
"When did big brother become so amazing?" Shen Yuanjun clenched his fist and swallowed hard.
Although I really didn't want to admit it, I had to. It wasn't that he wasn't full; it was that the older sister was just too strong.
"Father, did you say those wolves died?" Shen Yuanqing asked, still feeling fear.
Shen Congwen felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the sound of bones breaking. The wolves hadn't moved an inch; they must be dead, right?
Surely he couldn't have fainted from the pain, could he?
Liu Laohu knew that Shen Lanxi had something, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
Killing wolves was as easy as killing kittens; they didn't even blink.
"Young Master Lan, what should we do about these wolves?"
Shen Lanxi, holding the stick, said, "Kill it and eat it, or bury it. It's up to you."
Liu Laohu: "..." Young Master Lan is not only highly skilled, but also exceptionally generous.
A single wolf, just its pelt, once processed, can fetch at least ten taels of silver. He just counted; there were eleven wolves. Even just selling the pelts would make him rich.
Only after Shen Lanxi went to rest did Liu Laohu dare to lead the constables to deal with the matter.
"Skin the wolves and sell them for money, then eat the wolf meat!"
Upon hearing that they could eat meat, all the prisoners subconsciously swallowed hard. With so many wolves and such hot weather, and the meat unable to be stored, surely some could be shared with them?
Liu Laohu called on more than a dozen prisoners to help process the wolf meat. Although he didn't say it outright, the prisoners were very careful and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing someone's sleep.
When Shen Lanxi woke up, before she could even open her eyes, she was greeted by the enticing aroma of meat.
The others had already started eating, but Shen Lanxi had a separate pot with a little broth left over on a low flame. The broth was still bubbling away. When Li's mother saw that Shen Lanxi had woken up, she sprinkled some chopped green onions into the pot, then ladled it out and let it cool.
After two meals with meat in a row, the atmosphere among the prisoners was more harmonious than ever before, and everyone's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
