Chapter 20: The Wolf in the Ruined Temple
He Changqing woke up with a start.
When his son saw this, he hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, father. The howling is far away from here. The wolf won't come."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the wolf howling came closer, so close that it was almost at hand.
Moreover, the pitch of a wolf's howl is different, and you can tell it's not just one wolf.
Su Song stood up with his sword in hand and shouted, "Be alert! The wolves are coming!"
He Changqing: “…”
You have a bad mouth!
As soon as these words were spoken, the officers drew their swords and stared vigilantly at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, while the prisoners tried hard to squeeze themselves into the temple.
The police have weapons to protect themselves, but they have nothing!
Shen Xun immediately said: "Brother, take them to a safe place to hide, Alan and Yunzhou come with me!"
Qi Yunxi hurriedly said: "I also know martial arts!"
Shen Xun thought for a second and took Qi Yunxi with him.
In just a moment, the wolves launched an attack. One after another, they rushed to the door of the ruined temple, trying to rush in.
The dilapidated temple originally had no door, so Susong had someone hang a blanket on it to keep out the cold wind, but this blanket was completely unable to prevent the wolves from entering.
Su Song gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me and drive away the wolves!"
The officer received the order, and Chen Xun also followed Su Song with Xie Lan and the other two.
Su Song took a casual glance and saw that Xie Lan and Qi Yunzhou each had a butcher knife, which was sharper than the weapons in the hands of the police.
Qi Yunxi held a long whip, while Shen Xun held nothing.
He didn't say anything. One more person means more strength. Only by repelling the wolves sooner can they be safe.
Shen Xun roughly counted them and found a total of ten. She said loudly, "Master Su, leave these five to us!"
She gave one to each of Xie Lan and the other two, and took the remaining two for herself.
"Solve it quickly and come help me!"
The three of them said in unison: "Okay!"
Seeing Chen Xun and his men start fighting, Su Song gave an order and the officers formed groups and divided the remaining five wolves.
After completing many quick-travel missions, Shen Xun tried almost all weapons, and finally found that close combat was the best for him.
However, she was armed, a sharp dagger hidden on her body.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and two pairs of eyes emitting green light stared at Chen Xun from the left and right.
The wolf on the left was the first to lose its patience and lunged towards Shen Xun with a roar. Shen Xun dodged the wolf's attack by moving sideways, then pulled the wolf by its hind legs with his backhand and threw it onto the other wolf.
The two wolves whimpered at the same time and rushed towards Shen Xun together...
When Shen Xun was fighting against them, he also devoted a little energy to Qi Yunxi.
As for Xie Lan and Qi Yunzhou, it’s okay if they get hurt, she has medicine.
This observation left Shen Xun speechless.
She found that Qi Yunxi's whipping skills were disorganized, and it was considered pretty good if he could hit the target three or four times out of ten.
Fortunately, her opponent was not in any good condition either. He looked weak and it was obvious that he had not eaten for a long time.
After Shen Xun dealt with the two of hers, she saw Qi Yunxi having a great time fighting, so she stood by and watched the fight, and at the same time, was on guard against any unexpected situations.
Xie Lan & Qi Yunzhou: "..."
A Xun (mother), turn around and look at me, I don’t believe your eyes are empty!
Seeing that they were defeated, the gray wolf that looked like the wolf king inside let out a "howl", and the wolves immediately gave up and turned around to flee.
Qi Yunxi retracted the whip, still unsatisfied, "Why did they escape?"
Shen Xun rubbed her head and instructed Xie Lan and the other two to get rid of the wolf she had killed and clean up the scene at the same time.
"If you don't leave now, you'll end up in our stomachs just like it did."
The officials also killed a wolf. Susong ordered them to quickly clean it up and separate the wolf skin and meat so that they could eat them for a while.
After finishing all the work, Su Song said coldly: "Okay, let's all go into the temple."
Qi Yunxi walked beside Shen Xun and asked quietly, "Xun, why don't they steal our wolves?"
She wanted to ask this question the last time she ate hotpot.
"I made a small deal with Lord Su," Shen Xun said concisely, "so he won't care about anything you do along the way as long as you don't run away."
Qi Yunxi nodded, thoughtfully.
Sun Hui Niang had already cooked the yam and meatball soup. When she saw Chen Xun and the other three coming back, she hurriedly brought out the warm water and towels she had prepared for them to wash their hands.
"It's cold at night, so I made some hot soup. Drink a bowl to warm yourself up."
Shen Xun sniffed the fragrance in the air and smiled, "It smells so good. I'll drink two bowls later."
Sun Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "I have done a lot."
Not far away, the four people from the Zhong family huddled together, staring fiercely at Sun Huiniang who was wearing new clothes.
Zhong Tianci said with envy: "Dad, Aunt Sun is just a concubine, but now she lives better than our four masters."
Father Zhong's face looked grim, but he was helpless and could only silently curse Shen Xun and his group.
Old Mrs. Zhong and Mother Zhong were struggling with the pancakes in their hands, and wanted Father Zhong and Zhong Tianci to go gather firewood and start a fire.
They refused to move, so the family had to huddle together for warmth.
"Hui Niang? Hui Niang? What's wrong with you?"
Sun Hui Niang came back to her senses: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shen Xun repeated his words, "Tomorrow when we pass the stream, you should clean the wolf meat and wolf skin. The wolf meat will be used for cooking, and the wolf skin will be given to Xie Lan."
Sun Hui Niang nodded, "Okay, I understand."
"When you go, call Yunzhou, Jingcheng and the others and ask them to go with you."
Sun Hui Niang hurriedly said, "I can do it alone, there's no need to trouble you two gentlemen."
Shen Xun didn't allow her to refuse, "I think those people from the Zhong family have bad intentions, and it's dangerous in the wild. Besides, more people can handle it faster."
Only then did Sun Hui Niang agree.
He Changqing had been worried for several days, but finally, he could finally let go of his worries and have a good sleep tonight.
Just as his son was about to share the food he had brought with him, he saw that he had fallen asleep leaning against the wall.
Hmm, fell asleep so quickly?
The wolves hold grudges, and Su Song was afraid that they would come to take revenge, so as soon as the sun rose, he asked everyone to pack up and get ready to leave.
"We may encounter many large beasts in the near future. Don't panic and follow my orders."
Su Song glanced at everyone and said, "If anyone takes advantage of the chaos to escape, I will report it to the emperor and ask him to send troops to capture you. No matter where you flee to, even to the ends of the earth, we will find you back!"
"Of course," Su Song said, his tone slowing down. "If anyone can fight the beast together with the officers, I will reward them."
After saying that, he signaled his subordinates to take out a small bag of steamed buns and send it to Shen Xun.
"In addition to the prey you hunt, I will also reward you with food. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Some people were ready to make a move. Although they did not have any powerful kung fu skills, they had been taught by martial arts masters to some extent. If they had weapons, they could fight for a while.
With so many of them, as long as they don't encounter a group of wild beasts, each of them can repel or kill the beasts with a sword.
Why not distribute meat and food when the time comes?
