Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 469 Ancient Natural Disasters 9

As she packed her things, she could already hear the terrified cries and howls of others who had learned of the wolf's arrival.

The already difficult path of exile was made even more difficult.

When the officials heard the news, they were initially skeptical, but Hou Ming cautiously sent people to investigate, and the returning men confirmed that the news was indeed true.

Hou Ming had no choice but to tell everyone to pack their things and prepare to leave, hoping to avoid the fight with the wolves.

After all, many people have already died from freezing or catching colds at night, and who knows how many more will die if they face a pack of wolves.

After Situ Xiu returned, he also helped everyone pack their things.

"Second brother, I reckon we'll have to fight the wolves soon," Situ Cheng said with some concern, thinking that there were only three men in the family who could fight.

Situ Xiu frowned slightly: "We'll have to play it by ear when the time comes, and we'll do our best to protect our family."

Du Yulan said, "I have also practiced martial arts, so I can help."

The original owner did practice martial arts, but he wasn't very proficient.

"Alright, then please ask your sister-in-law to help look after Mother, your sister-in-law, and Xiaoqing and Xiaoan."

Du Yulan slung the packed bags over her shoulder and said, "No problem, I can take them with me first, so you won't have any worries."

"What if you encounter danger while leading everyone alone?" Situ Xiu asked, somewhat worried.

"We won't go very far, and we can notify you promptly if there's any danger."

Situ Cheng: "I think my sister-in-law's idea is good, otherwise Mother and the others might get hurt if they're not careful here."

"Then it's decided," Du Yulan said. Seeing that the two of them agreed, Situ Xiu didn't object anymore.

Just as everyone finished packing up and was about to leave, they heard a group of footsteps approaching.

"Wolf is coming! Run!" Some people were so frightened that they turned and ran away.

The pack of wolves, along with their underlings, came down from the forest, their eyes gleaming with greed as they looked at the abundance of food available, their mouths watering.

The children were terrified and cried out, "Mommy, there are wolves! There are...!"

Before he could finish speaking, the adults in his family covered his mouth.

As the crowd and the wolf pack faced off, everyone gathered their belongings and picked up sticks to use as weapons. They huddled together, holding sticks and wary of the wolves pouncing.

The alpha wolf's gaze swept over the number of people, seemingly considering how difficult it would be to deal with so many, but its hungry stomach made it want to eat immediately.

The alpha wolf howled, and its minions pounced on them.

Hou Ming led all the officials and guards, drew their swords and went forward to kill the wolves. During the fight, everyone tacitly surrounded the children and the elderly, and even let others go first.

At that moment, Du Yulan left with the family members who were unable to fight.

Seeing her leave, Ye Baiwei pushed the cart and called on the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the women and children who were unable to lift a chicken to follow.

"Let me go and help everyone!" Sikong Yuan said, lying on the cart.

Ye Baiwei shook her head: "No, you can't move your legs too much right now. Wuji can help you."

Wuji was a bodyguard who always followed Sikong Yuan. Ye Baiwei had read the plot and knew that he was skilled in martial arts.

Xiao Qi said in the space: "Host, go to the left, there is a cave there."

Upon hearing this, Du Yulan glanced at the area fifty meters to her left, picked up Xiaoqing, and quickened her pace, not forgetting to turn back and ask, "Mother, can you, my sister-in-law, and Xiao An keep up?"

Xia Wenxiu and Xu Qingyu supported each other, panting, and said, "Yes, you can go ahead, Qingyu and I can keep up."

Situ An, who was being led by Xu Qingyu, also spoke up: "Auntie, I can too."

"Okay, hang in there a little longer."

Situ Xiu, Situ Cheng, and Situ Yun, father and sons, held sticks and stood back to back, using all their strength to kill the wolves. Several wolves had already fallen at their feet, and their bodies and faces were covered in blood.

Just as they were starting to tire, none of the three noticed that to Situ Cheng's left, a wolf was stealthily pouncing towards him, aiming for his neck.

Situ Cheng had finally managed to deal with one wolf, and then moved on to the next one. In the blink of an eye, he witnessed this scene.

Seeing the wolf only two inches away from Situ Cheng's neck, he wanted to stop it but it was too late: "Big brother, be careful!"

Situ Cheng turned his head and saw the wolf coming towards him. He swung his stick at it, but he was too close and didn't have enough strength to knock it down.

Just as Situ Yun and Situ Xiu were terrified, and Situ Cheng was resigned to his fate, they suddenly saw the wolf in front of them being pierced through the neck and thrown away by a flying dagger.

Du Yulan walked over and picked up her dagger: "I'm not too late, am I?"

"It's not too late. Luckily you came, otherwise my brother would have been bitten. Did you encounter any danger when you left?" Situ Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

She shook her head and stepped forward to help them fight off the other wolves, easing their burden so that the father and his two sons could finally catch their breath.

Situ Cheng: "Sister-in-law, I'm so grateful to you just now, otherwise I might have died here today."

"Brother, don't say that. Sister-in-law, Xiaoqing, and Xiaoan are still waiting for you to come back!" Du Yulan said.

Situ Yun: "Yes, boss, don't say such unlucky things."

"I know, Dad."

Du Yulan's arrival relieved their stress, and she also wandered around, helping everyone along the way.

One of the officers was bitten on the neck by a wolf, but she saw that it was the pervert who liked young children, so she didn't help him.

This kind of person deserves to die; she was too lazy to even send him off.

The arm of the man named Li Gang was also pierced by wolves, and seven or eight prisoners died as well.

The three members of the Situ family, father and sons, only had some superficial wounds from being scratched by wolves. After applying medicine to them, Du Yulan went to bring the people from the cave back.

Situ Xiu accompanied her, and as soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, they heard a noisy commotion coming from inside.

A somewhat arrogant female voice rang out: "It's just kids playing around. Why are you being so petty and relentless?"

"Have your brother apologize to Xiao An."

Du Yulan recognized both voices; the two had argued not long ago.

She exchanged a glance with Situ Xiu, worried that something might have happened to her mother and the others, and quickly hurried inside.

Once inside, they immediately spotted Ye Baiwei in the crowd, and the people arguing with her were old acquaintances Xiao Rong and Xiao Wan.

Xu Qingyu was arguing with Ye Baiwei, seemingly trying to get a response from the Xiao family.

Du Yulan walked over to Xia Wenxiu's side, who was comforting Situ An: "Mother, what happened?"

Xia Wenxiu sighed: "Bai Wei gave Xiao An a piece of food, but the Xiao family boy saw it, pushed Xiao An and snatched the food away. Bai Wei and Qing Yu couldn't stand it and started arguing with them."

Du Yulan's first thought after hearing this was that the female lead had a strong sense of justice, and her second thought was that if she were in that situation, she would also argue with the person.
