Halfway there, a sudden sound accompanied by the whistling wind reached Mo Qianshang's ears, forcing her to stop.
"Miss Mo, I have something to tell you about the wolf pack. Come down quickly!" Worried that Mo Qianshang hadn't noticed him, Gou Dan took off his coat and waved it vigorously.
"What is it?" Time was of the essence, and Mo Qianshang was too lazy to waste words with the other party, her eyes filled with urgency.
Seeing Mo Qianshang so impatient for the first time, Gou Dan didn't dare to say anything polite and quickly told her everything he knew.
"That's right. About half a month ago, the bandits in the mountain stronghold hunted down several wolf cubs on the mountain. That afternoon, they skinned the wolf cubs, chopped them into pieces, and cooked them."
"Perhaps drawn by the smell of wolf meat, the relatives of those cubs came looking for them. At that time, the number of bandits in the mountain stronghold far exceeded the number of wolves. The wolves didn't get the upper hand, and all the wounded wolves were captured and made into snacks for the bandits..."
Having said that, Mo Qianshang probably understood why so many wolves would suddenly attack the mountain stronghold.
Most of the evil deeds were committed by these bandits!
Now they have to suffer the consequences, what bad luck!
Feeling resentful, Mo Qianshang's expression turned cold. Seeing Gou Dan trembling with fear, she quickly waved her hand to distance herself from him.
“Miss Mo, I haven’t eaten a single bite of that wolf meat. But… the wolf pack certainly won’t let us people in the village go. Should we run away or fight them?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Qianshang really wanted to slap Gou Dan on the head, and gave him a disgruntled look.
"Take a good look at how many wolves there are. At least two hundred, maybe more. What are the people in the village going to use to fight them?"
"Or do you think that if you come with me, you can drive all those wolves away?"
Upon hearing the specific number, Gou Dan froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his lips trembling in disbelief.
"W-what! Two hundred or more! We didn't have that many last time!"
"That's all the work of those bandits! Not only did they kill the cubs, but they also ate the wolves that came after them. Wolves are the most vengeful animals, so they must have gathered the neighbors to come and collect their debts."
Mo Qianshang sighed helplessly, patted Gou Dan on the shoulder, and gave instructions.
"If you want everyone to leave alive, you need to quickly gather everyone in your village and tell them not to panic or run around. Otherwise, if they get killed by the wolves while alone, I won't be responsible!"
After saying these words, Mo Qianshang didn't linger and went straight to the village chief's house.
Seeing that the village chief's family had just finished packing and were about to open the gate to go out, Mo Qianchang simply landed in their yard.
“Village chief, there are too many wolves this time, and it’s impossible to escape alone. For the sake of our entire Fushou Village, I suggest that you call everyone to line up and leave together. That way, if a small number of wolves attack, we can fight them off together.”
After what happened during the day, Mo Qianshang didn't have a good temper with the village chief and directly and coldly stated her thoughts.
The village chief originally planned to tell everyone to run away, to go wherever they could.
Upon hearing Mo Qianshang's words, he tightened his grip on the bundle, as if struggling.
Seeing his reaction, Mo Qianshang had no choice but to resort to another drastic measure, pointing to the green dots of light not far away.
“You may not believe what I’m saying, but take a good look at how many wolves there are. They’ve already started ramming the door, and they’ll definitely be able to break in within half an hour.”
"Furthermore, based on my observation, those wolf packs are extremely intelligent. They always attack the same spot, and they don't run around aimlessly without a leader."
The village chief was already trembling with fear at the sight of so many green lights. Now, hearing that the wolves had even gained intelligence, the village chief dared not hesitate any longer and could only listen to Mo Qianshang, who was highly skilled in martial arts.
"Alright, then I'll do as you say. You, you... you absolutely must protect all of us!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but want to facepalm. Her purpose in walking together was to fight off the wolf pack together, so that if a small number of wolves came after us, we could all stay safe by working together.
But judging from the village chief's intentions, he wanted her to protect the entire village single-handedly.
How is that possible?
Mo Qianshang narrowed her eyes slightly and rather ruthlessly rejected the village chief.
“Village chief, it’s true that I have martial arts skills to protect myself, but I also have so many children to take care of. I can only say that if we all go together, our chances of survival will be higher, but you’re asking me to guarantee that no one will get hurt or die? Let me tell you clearly, I can’t do that.”
"I have already told you the method. If you do not listen, it will never be one of our family members who goes to the underworld."
Having not been treated so bluntly in a long time, the village chief immediately felt embarrassed.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Mo Qianshang said made sense, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
"Alright, then I will do as you say and hope that you can take better care of the villagers when you have the time and energy."
Sensing the village chief's words carried a hint of concession, Mo Qianshang's expression softened somewhat, and she added, "Tell everyone to keep their luggage as light as possible, otherwise they might get lost on the escape route."
Taking a section of road for free is really slowing down the journey and is not worthwhile.
Having been refugees for so long, the village chief could understand the reason behind it. He turned around and started telling his family, and asked Mo Qianshang to inform the others as well.
There was nothing they could do. Even though they had some savings, they couldn't buy any food. They were all so hungry that they were too weak to go and tell others, which would be too slow.
In this emergency, Mo Qianshang didn't bother arguing with the other party and simply opened the courtyard gate to head outside.
Having accumulated some prestige along the way, Mo Qianshang didn't linger in the village for long before the group, at her invitation, gathered at the back gate of the village with their belongings.
At this moment, seven or eight wolves had gathered at the back gate of the mountain stronghold. They were all relatively thin, but their limbs and legs looked quite strong.
After a moment's thought, Mo Qianchang had already made a deduction.
These wolves are probably scouting around the stronghold. If we want to escape from the stronghold through the back door, we can't let these wolves go back and report.
Otherwise, even if they escaped the mountain stronghold in advance, they would be quickly caught up by the wolf pack.
Before anyone could react, Mo Qianshang had already bought some darts from the mall under the cover of night and was throwing them at the seven or eight wolves.
Unexpectedly, two of them still managed to escape. Mo Qianshang didn't have time to tell the others the reason. She chased after them in a flash and used the dagger she always carried to kill the two wolves.
To her surprise, just as she turned around to tell everyone to open the back door and escape together, Qin Baiyi, dressed in bright clothes, landed beside her with several children.
Knowing that being caught by the wolf pack would mean certain death, the villagers behind them were not to be outdone, and they kicked open the back door and rushed out.
If Mo Qianchang hadn't given prior instructions, a stampede would probably have already occurred by now.
Just as everyone was relieved to have escaped the village, a loud bang came from the direction of the gate in the distance.
