Xiao Quan was furious, but Wen Ran achieved the effect she wanted; the rope on her hand was untied.
Wen Ran moved her wrists and fingers, sighing, "Finally, I feel alive again."
On the journey ahead, Wen Ran was quite obedient, without any antics, climbing mountains and crossing rivers for three or four hours, finally reaching the destination before dusk.
The terrain of this place is flat, surrounded by trees.
Behind is a cave, next to it a secret tunnel they dug stealthily.
The entrance to the tunnel was piled with leaves.
Probably used to conceal their activities, but these leaves are not unusual in the woods; more trees an more fallen leaves.
Wen Ran was still tied up, wandering around while inquiring, "Oh my God, you found such a remote place, how did you manage that?"
Xiao Yu didn’t bother hiding it, seeing Wen Ran’s fate as a dead person.
Talking to a dead person is harmless since their mouths can remain shut forever, able to keep secrets too.
"Call it fate; the heavens didn’t cut off my survival path."
She smiled, "While escaping for my life, I hid in the deep mountains.
Unexpectedly stumbled upon this place. When I saw the geography, it matched the location marked on a treasure map I got years ago."
Saying this, Xiao Yu laughed, "What once kept restless day and night, what I couldn’t understand, was delivered to unexpectedly.
In the grand sche, everything seems predestined."
Indeed, indeed.
Wen Ran thought, your fate is to be hamred to death here by !
Xiao Yu didn’t notice Wen Ran’s expression, just laughed recklessly, "Turns out, digging into the tunnel, this inconspicuous place has traps.
Going down once cost a few brothers their lives, so we thought of finding soone skilled to scout ahead."
She smiled at Wen Ran, raising an eyebrow, "That’s why we invited pros like you over."
Wen Ran raised her hand, sincerely, "You know, I’m a freshman this year, haven’t even attended many classes. Isn’t bringing a bit of overkill?"
"No worries," Xiao Yu stared at Wen Ran’s face, "You’re good-looking and your personality suits ; just seeing you makes happy.
Having you here as a mascot is perfectly fine."
Wen Ran: "..."
Darn grave robbers.
Crazy.
Does my beauty need your approval?
Mr. Gu Sr. sneered beside them, "You’re not finding people to scout, you’re sending them to their deaths.
Underground tombs, whether they have traps or not, have poor airflow over the years; any virus could wipe you all out.
I’ve spoken my ugly truth upfront.
I don’t handle any chanism; those tricks I haven’t seen. I just sweep dirt with a small brush. Believe it or not."
He turned away, puffed up with anger.
"No big deal," Xiao Yu said happily, "Not knowing now doesn’t an you won’t in danger."
She understood human nature well; hard words now don’t matter.
As long as you’re willing to work below, it doesn’t matter.
At crucial tis, who among us doesn’t want to live?
...
The sky gradually darkened.
Luckily, the grave robbers had already found a place to stay, even pots and pans were complete.
Dinner was not bad.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, and also a pot of fragrant lamb soup.
The remaining lamb was ordered by Xiao Yu to be hung and roasted.
Wen Ran stared at the lamb, her gaze steady, feeling that the next second, drool might fall.
Xiao Yu watched Wen Ran, covering her mouth and laughing, "Want to eat?"
Wen Ran: "?"
She glanced at Xiao Yu, not speaking a word, but her gaze seed to say a lot.
"Want to eat?"
Wen Ran: "."
Such incessant asking, idle chatter.
"Of course," Wen Ran muttered, "I’m no fool, don’t I long for the delicious food?"
"Then," Xiao Yu looked at Wen Ran, "Do you want to live a life of abundance in the future?
Eating chicken, duck, fish, whatever you like.
Wearing fine clothes, tossing one aside after wearing.
Spending money abundantly."
Wen Ran suddenly found that she didn’t understand Xiao Yu’s actions, but comnted truthfully, "Save when necessary, spend when needed.
Don’t you think wastefulness is shaful?"
"Hahaha," Xiao Yu laughed even happier, "You are truly a good child, I like you even more now."
"Too many people like ; take a love number card first."
Wen Ran seed defeated, "Queue up, please."
This ti, before Xiao Yu could laugh, the surrounding was filled with the howling of wolves.
Xiao Yu’s smile slowly disappeared.
Her brow furrowed tightly, "What’s going on?"
Xiao Quan, in charge of scouting the surroundings, returned, looking grave, "Sister Xiao Yu, I found out, this area is surrounded by a wolf pack."
Wolf pack.
Surrounded.
These two words erging sent a shiver down Cai Xiaowen who already felt impending doom, she bitterly smiled, seemingly having done no good in her past life.
Disasters, human crises, one after another, fearing death won’t catch her, pursuing to kill!
Mr. Gu Sr. was also stunned for a mont, turned his head, "Children, it’s my fault to you all."
Wen Ran stared silently, didn’t speak, her hand slightly trembling, heartbeat racing to an abnormal frequency.
That sound...
The wolf pack treaded over the snow with a muffled creaking sound.
Mixing shuffling, wind noises, in an instant, everyone’s nerves tightened.
Wen Ran silently straightened up.
Finally, the wolf pack appeared.
Looking at the leading big dumb wolf, Wen Ran’s eyes welled up; it’s her Hetao.
She cried, Xiao Yu didn’t think much, but her heart softened.
After all, it’s just a young girl who hasn’t seen much, already scared by a wolf.
"No worries, don’t be afraid."
She drew a gun from her pocket, "We have the ability to protect ourselves."
Wen Ran: "..."
Good heavens.
Fool, don’t hurt her big dumb wolf!
"Wait," Wen Ran persuaded, "In the countryside, I encountered many wolf packs too; you just need to confront until dawn.
If you shoot now, it’s asking for death."
She looked at Xiao Yu, in the firelight, her dark pupils sparkled, "If you harm the wolf, it’s a no-ending grudge."
