“Here it comes!”
Lin Jinyu suddenly pulled He Yao out of the way, and the two of them barely hid behind a protruding rock just as a huge wild boar, with bloodshot eyes and panting heavily, burst out of the dense forest.
The wild boar was going too fast to stop itself and charged straight into the rock.
“Bang!”
Its head crumbled upon impact, and two of its sharp tusks snapped into several pieces.
“Awooo!”
The Wolf Pack was right behind, and they lunged at their prey, bloodthirsty fangs bared.
“Damn, there are so many wolves.”
Hidden behind the rock, the two of them gripped their long swords, cold sweat dripping down their backs.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
A crisp bird song suddenly echoed through the forest.
“Howl!”
At the sound of the bird call, the Wolf Pack abruptly stopped just before leaping onto the wild boar. Fearful, their fur stood on end and, led by the Alpha Wolf, they tucked their tails between their legs and ran away.
“Huh? What just happened? Why did the Wolf Pack leave?”
He Yao rubbed his eyelids, unable to believe the bizarre scene before him.
“Did you hear the bird call just now?”
Lin Jinyu raised his head alertly and searched the forest above for the bird’s silhouette.
“Didn’t hear it.”
He Yao was too focused on the wolves, and the only sound echoing in his ears was their terrifying howl.
“Something’s strange about this forest. We shouldn’t stay here for long.”
Lin Jinyu sensed that something was amiss, and a sudden panic seized him.
“What about the wild boar? Just the two of us can’t carry it.” freewebnøvel.com
He Yao was unwilling to give up the wild boar.
“Having the wild boar is perfect. It gives us an excuse to go to the Su Clan and ask for help.”
Lin Jinyu was suddenly struck by an idea.
“Right, Mengzi is strong enough to help us.”
He Yao quickly caught on and felt relieved.
Night had fallen, and the lamps of Woniu Village cast a warm glow over every household. The aroma of cooking wafted from kitchens, making the children drool.
Li Xiu’e helped Grandma Liu prepare dinner, serving the dishes to the living room while calling the children to eat.
Wang Meng was already very hungry, and at the sound of the call, he hastily washed his hands, dashed into the living room, and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.
“Brother Meng, did you hear it just now? There was a wolf howling, and it seemed to be coming from the slope at the foot of the mountain.”
Su Qingluo walked into the living room, an inadvertent glint in her eyes as she asked her question.
“Five Moon Mountain has many wild animals; the Wolf Pack has food to eat and won’t easily approach human villages.”
Wang Meng had been hunting in the mountains for years; he waved his hand dismissively, not overly concerned. “Perhaps they’re just passing through; no need to worry too much.”
Ah, how can he be so dull now when he usually seems so clever? I just wanted him to go and check the foot of the mountain.
Su Qingluo gave a helpless smile and helped Li Xiu’e set the table.
“Time to eat, time to eat.”
The Four Little Meng Treasures laughed and ran into the living room from the yard, Huya among them, as he trotted to his usual spot, lay down, and waited to be fed with his big eyes sparkling.
“Huya, this is for you.”
Su Hu brought a bowl of half-cooked meat and bones, placing it by Huya’s mouth and patting him affectionately on the head.
“Roar.”
Huya was nearly one year old and could clearly emit the roar of a tiger. He picked up the meat and bones with his mouth and rubbed Su Hu’s wrist affectionately.
“Dad, I’ll get your jug.”
Maodou was sensible and, seeing Su Hu come in, fetched the jug from the kitchen.
“Maodou is such a good boy. Do you want to try some wine? Want to have a sip?”
Su Hu took the jug, the warmth in his heart akin to having a small heater on a frosty winter day. He glanced at Li Xiu’e, who didn’t seem to notice their actions, and spoke softly to Maodou while shaking the jug teasingly.
“Yeah.”
Maodou blinked his big eyes and nodded.
