Chapter 197 Heartless and Treacherous
The little monkey hadn't run more than a few steps before it was stopped.
He bared his teeth like a wolf, trying to scare away the people surrounding him.
Unfortunately, he was too young and thin, so he didn't inspire any fear; instead, he seemed a bit dull and silly.
Wan Qiqi rushed over.
Chen Yongnian followed closely behind, his gaze never leaving Wan Qiqi.
He could tell that his wife had lost a lot of weight, and her slender hands were calloused, probably from doing too much work.
In rural areas, what woman doesn't work and develop calluses?
But in Chen Yongnian's mind, Wan Qiqi shouldn't have calluses on her hands.
The wolf cub in the little monkey's hand had a similar expression to the little monkey, baring its teeth and howling softly, seemingly trying to scare away the enemy.
Wan Qiqi couldn't possibly connect this little dumpling with the wolf that killed Chen Mazi.
But she had to admit that it was a wolf.
"Little monkey, listen to me, I didn't mean to hurt you." Wan Qiqi squatted down, revealing a gentle smile. "Little monkey, you're holding the wolf cub, are you looking for its mother?"
The little monkey didn't answer her; its eyes were full of wariness.
"I don't care what you're looking for with this, but my sister needs your help."
When Wan Qiqi approached the little monkey, the little monkey took a step back.
"You know, the wolf mother and her cubs were taken down the mountain to fight with humans. Although they are fierce, they can still be killed by many people. If you don't do something to stop it, the wolf cubs in your hands may lose their mother and their family. Do you want to see that happen?"
The little monkey still didn't answer, but he lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about Wan Qiqi's words.
Wan Qiqi knew her words had an effect, and continued, "We don't want to hurt the wolf mother, we just want to rescue the people who are imprisoned, because their families miss them, just like the wolf cubs miss their families now."
"The wolf cubs are scared; they need the protection and companionship of their family. Once this is over, we'll release them back to where they belong, so they can live well and no longer be controlled by humans, okay?"
The little monkey's expression flickered, but it remained silent.
Those watching from the sidelines were getting anxious, fearing that the bandits might suddenly return, causing them to not only fail to complete their mission but also get themselves killed.
He was about to speak when Chen Yongnian suddenly grabbed his arm, stopping him abruptly.
Chen Yongnian stopped beside Wan Qiqi and said gently, "My wife, I'm leaving this place to you. I'll leave two people with you, and I'll take the others out first."
"Okay." Wan Qiqi looked up at Chen Yongnian.
His appearance hasn't changed, but he gives off a different feeling. He no longer has the honest and simple look he used to have, but instead exudes a more composed demeanor.
She felt more at ease with Chen Yongnian this way!
Wan Qiqi got up and told Chen Yongnian the address and number of people she had hidden, as well as the location of nearby sentry posts and the best hiding routes.
The people at the martial arts school were still shocked.
While others who were captured were truly taken prisoner and could only be rescued, she managed to find out the situation in the village clearly and even hid the prisoners.
"By the way, don't drink the water in the village, I added something to it."
Upon hearing this, the people at the martial arts school were utterly shocked.
This is truly a country woman, not some chivalrous heroine.
Chen Yongnian remained calm and nodded seriously, "Okay, my wife, please be careful. I'll wait for you at the cliff."
Although he felt that Wan Qiqi would be faster than him, he still wanted to wait for his wife instead of her waiting for him.
After their conversation, Chen Yongnian left with his men.
"Brother Yongnian, is that really your sister-in-law?"
"Yes, it's her!"
"My sister-in-law is amazing. She knows this place so well. I feel that even if we didn't come and just attacked Lianshan, she could still protect the captured people well."
Someone chimed in, "Sister-in-law actually dared to drug the bandits! This is a huge blow to their strength! A great achievement!"
"Yes! I think you two are a perfect match. She's smart, and you're amazing!"
Chen Yongnian never expected that he would become the "powerful" person in the eyes of the martial arts school disciples.
He has always been praised by the villagers for being kind and good-hearted, while some say he is foolish and easy to bully, but no one has ever said that he is powerful.
This is the first time.
But what pleased him most was that he and Wan Qiqi were a perfect match.
He always thought his wife was amazing, amazing in every way, and that he was not good enough for her.
He could vaguely see from the eyes of many people that they felt he was not good enough for her.
Now that he heard the words "perfect match," he finally felt that he was slowly getting closer to Wan Qiqi, and that he could stand beside her!
But this is far from enough.
He not only wanted to stand by Wan Qiqi's side, but also to be her strongest support, so that she could do whatever she wanted without any worries.
As the praise around him subsided, Chen Yongnian stopped everyone from speaking, saying, "Whatever it is, we can talk about it after the mission is completed. Let's save people first."
He was actually afraid that he would lose his true self after being praised, and he was also afraid that people would think he was ambitious and eager for quick success, which would cause unnecessary controversy.
Finally, the people at the martial arts school quieted down.
The group of eight followed Wan Qiqi's words and sneaked up the mountain, where they found the cave she had mentioned.
As soon as the roadblocks were cleared, I heard people talking inside.
"Do you think Wan Qiqi would abandon us and run away?"
"Nonsense, my sister would never do such a thing!"
Chen Yongnian frowned upon hearing this. He remembered that his wife did not have a younger brother, so why would someone call his wife "sister"?
