What are you spacing out for?
Su Mingxuan scratched his head sheepishly, "My little sister is so pretty."
These words left Su Muyao completely bewildered. She was only a few years old, how could she be considered pretty? What a little kid, what did he know about being pretty?
Old Man Su talked to his three sons and discussed it with them. They decided to go to the village together the next morning.
After all, we can't stay on the mountain forever. With so many children, it wouldn't be good if they caught a cold.
After a noisy dinner, everyone huddled together to keep warm.
Now all the children are put together, with the women on the sides and the men on the outermost edge.
As darkness approached, everyone grew increasingly tense, for the older generation deep in the mountains had told them that wild animals were abundant in the area.
Normally, I don't even dare to venture too far into the wild to pick wild vegetables.
But when I see people around me, I realize there are so many people, it's not like I'm alone.
The feeling of fear has also dissipated considerably.
At this moment, as they approached from afar, seeing the bright green eyes, one pair after another, everyone stood up.
"Quickly, get up, there are wild beasts!"
Su Muyao was woken up by the noise as soon as she fell asleep, and sat up while rubbing her eyes.
At this moment, the villagers were in chaos. Every household went to look for their own child in the group of children, and the frightened children started crying loudly.
But when Su Muyao saw the wild beasts coming from afar, she realized that they were the same pack of wolves from before. The wolf king was at the very back.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, don't be afraid, it's Xiaobai and the others."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Su quickly shouted in his aged voice, "Don't be afraid, it's just a pack of wolves."
When everyone heard that it was a wolf, their hands trembled as they held the things. Suddenly, they realized something and everyone looked at Little Lucky Star.
Perhaps these wolves didn't come to eat them.
Soon, the tall, dark figures, growing larger as they approached, came into view one by one.
This group of farmers had never seen such a scene before; dozens of wolves were right in front of them.
Su Muyao, the little dumpling, walked out from the crowd. The wolf king saw that the human cub he was looking for was here.
It immediately started howling.
Su Muyao understood. The main reason they came was that after the group of people down the mountain swept through the village, they didn't see any food and guessed that the villagers might have gone up the mountain.
The group of refugees were searching for them on the outskirts of the mountain with torches.
"Awoo awoo awoo"
Then the little dumpling went up and touched the wolf king's fur.
"Xiaobai, thank you for giving me water later."
The wolf king, nicknamed Little White, didn't mind the corny name at all.
When the wolf cub saw its old father, it also howled and came to the wolf king's side, clinging to the wolf king's leg.
"Grandpa Village Chief Xiaobai said that after those refugees ransacked the village, they found no one there, so they came up the mountain to look for us."
Upon hearing this, the village chief paced back and forth anxiously.
Seeing that the wolves wouldn't harm them, the people were slightly relieved.
But seeing these wolves up close still made me somewhat afraid.
"Grandpa Village Chief, Xiaobai means they will guard us tonight."
The old village chief nodded. "My dear, then ask the wolf if it needs us to prepare any food for it?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, no need, I'll give them water to drink."
The old village chief nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that he should kill his two chickens and feed them to the wolf king.
There's no reason to let someone help you for nothing. As for the water that the little dumpling mentioned, he just thought it was ordinary river water.
That night, everyone spent a night in fear and trepidation under the oppressive presence of the wolves.
But they managed to survive safely. Early the next morning, the village chief gathered a few people to go down the mountain to scout out the situation.
The result of their return was that the group of refugees had already left. After receiving this news, the old village chief discussed the matter with several village elders and then gathered the villagers to go home.
Su Muyao and her father walked at the very back of the crowd. After bringing two basins of spiritual spring water to the wolves, they hurriedly headed down the mountain.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they got home, and were incredibly grateful to see the mess their house had been ransacked.
Thankfully, they took all the important things, otherwise those bastards would have really gotten away with it.
After everything was tidied up, Su Muyao sat on the swing in the courtyard of the new house.
The fox and the wolf cubs were having a good fight in the yard.
Su Muyao covered her ears, feeling a splitting headache.
Understanding the language of these animals is quite a troublesome thing; look, the two little ones are arguing happily right now.
One of them insisted that he knew his little master first and that he was the boss.
The other insisted that he was the one who first recognized the Lord and was brought back first, so he was the boss.
Just then, a sudden shout outside startled everyone, and the urgent sound of gongs being struck reached everyone's ears.
The old village chief banged on the gong and shouted loudly.
"Everyone come out quickly, bandits are coming."
Bandits were not like those displaced people; the villages they passed through were filled with burning, killing, and looting.
Not only were the farmers' belongings stolen, but the women were also taken away, and the men and children were basically killed.
"Stop packing, escaping is the priority."
"Husband, what about our money?"
"Forget about money, life is more important. If you lose your life, you won't have anywhere to spend your money. Go now."
The men, armed with machetes, and the women, carrying their children, all rushed out.
This naturally included Su Muyao as well. "Little White, go tell your old man to call all the wolves to come and help."
The wolf cub nodded human-like and ran forward, but before it had gone far, it collapsed headfirst into a pile of dry grass.
Su Muyao covered her eyes.
Is this guy really reliable?
At this moment, a group of bandits arrived at the village entrance.
Looking at these villagers holding pitchforks, shovels, machetes and the like.
It seems to be another village that refuses to surrender.
Then a fierce-looking scarred man among the bandits said directly to his men, "Leave no one alive except the women."
The group of underlings behind him licked their lips excitedly.
The old village chief shouted to the crowd, "Elderly people, women, take your children and go back into the village first!"
Su Muyao inwardly cried out in alarm. Just as she pulled out her pistol from her spatial storage, her grandmother grabbed her and carried her back into the house.
Looking back, they saw the villagers fighting with various weapons as the bandits charged at them.
But the bandits kept coming, each one fierce and menacing. They carried broadswords and spears, and some even had bows and arrows. In just a few moments, they injured several villagers.
However, this group did not fare well either, and some of them were injured.
These bandits weren't real bandits; most of them were dressed in tattered clothes and carried all sorts of weapons.
Seeing the villagers' fierce resistance and unity, the bandit leader Scarface was tempted and loudly coaxed them, "Brothers, we're just begging for food. In this famine year, the heavens don't give us food, and the court is doing nothing."
I see you're all men of spirit, why don't you join us and make a big splash?
You can all live a life of luxury by following me. As long as I get a bite of meat, I'll make sure my brothers don't even get a drop of soup.
