During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

The second-in-command was drinking when he heard the sound, and his hand trembled, causing the wine jug to fall to the ground with a "thud".

He suddenly turned his head and saw two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerging from the shadows of the trees in the darkness.

Ye Qingqing was carrying a wooden stick, and her arms were bulging, with something wrapped around them.

Ye Dazhuang, standing behind her, gripped a sharpened woodcutter's knife, exuding a menacing aura that kept strangers at bay, like a demon that had just crawled out of a battlefield.

It's so striking that just one look at it sends chills down your spine.

"You...you're Ye Qingqing?!"

The second-in-command's eyes widened immediately as he looked the girl up and down, who appeared particularly thin in the firelight.

But a thought crossed his mind: That's it? This little girl can take down his seven elite spies?

"it's me."

Ye Qingqing took two steps forward, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Second-in-command, you brought so many people to visit our Kaoshantun village in the middle of the night without giving us any warning. It's terribly cold, and look, we didn't even have time to prepare anything hot for you."

The second-in-command snapped out of his daze, his fleshy face twitching as he let out a grating, sinister laugh.

"You little brat, you've got a sharp tongue! I'm not going to waste my breath on you today."

If you know what's good for you, hand over all your grain, silver, and even the green vegetables you're growing in the dead of winter!

Otherwise, I'll burn your entire Kaoshantun village down and hang your whole family's heads at the village entrance as lanterns!

As he spoke, he waved his hand and more than twenty bandits sprang out from behind him, swarming around him.

Armed with gleaming knives, spears, and clubs, they surrounded Ye Qingqing and Ye Dazhuang. The firelight illuminated the bandits' fierce faces, revealing their greedy eyes.

Ye Dazhuang gripped his woodcutter's knife tightly, shifted his feet slightly, and stood in front of Ye Qingqing, his eyes as cold as ice-cold knives.

Ye Qingqing pulled him back and gently patted his arm, signaling him not to rush.

She glanced around at the menacing bandits, then sighed and said with a regretful expression,

"We gave you a way to live, but you chose to come here to die."

"You're asking for it!"

The second-in-command was so enraged by her nonchalant attitude that he pointed at Ye Qingqing and began to hurl insults.

"Get her! Capture that girl alive! This little girl has such delicate skin, I'm going to have some fun tonight!"

"Aww..."

The moment he finished speaking, two sharp wolf howls suddenly came from Ye Qingqing's arms!

The voice was childish, yet it carried a wild ferocity that echoed far and wide in the quiet night.

Immediately afterwards, two fluffy little heads suddenly peeked out from inside Ye Qingqing's clothes.

"Big Brother and Second Brother, behave yourselves."

Ye Qingqing patted their heads and chuckled softly, "What are you two little devils doing getting involved in this?"

The two wolf cubs, their bright green eyes wide open, bared their teeth at the second-in-command and the bandits, letting out low growls.

"Wolf...wolf cub!"

One of the bandits recognized what it was, took a step back in fright, and stammered, "This girl is raising two wolf cubs!"

The second-in-command paused for a moment, then burst into disdainful laughter.

"I thought it was some kind of treasure, but it's just two toothless puppies! Chop them up and make soup!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

"Awooo..."

"Awooo..."

Several long, mournful, and wildly imposing wolf howls suddenly rang out from the depths of the dense forest behind Kaoshantun!

The sounds rose and fell, responding to every call, as if countless ferocious beasts were galloping in the darkness!

"Awooo..."

The howls of wolves came one after another from all directions, growing closer and more intense, shaking the snow on the ground.

The roars were filled with bloodlust and hunger, sending chills down one's spine.

The second-in-command's smile froze. He abruptly turned his head to look at the dark forest, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

"This...this is..."

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Heavy footsteps, the sound of footsteps on the snow, came from all directions.

In the darkness, pairs of green eyes lit up, like will-o'-the-wisps, densely packed and countless!

"Wolves! A pack of wolves!"

One of the sharp-eyed bandits screamed, his voice distorted.

A large alpha wolf, leading a dozen gray wolves, slowly emerged from the woods and approached them step by step.

The wolves bared their gleaming white fangs, drool dripping from the corners of their mouths, their green eyes fixed on the bandits as if they were eyeing pieces of succulent meat.

"Oh my god...a pack of wolves is coming!"

The bandits were thrown into chaos, terrified, and dropped their knives and guns on the ground with a clatter.

They've been robbing and plundering in these mountains for years; what kind of danger haven't they seen?

But I'm only afraid of wolves!

Wolves are vengeful and ferocious. When they are in packs, they are the most terrifying creatures. Once they are targeted, even a god can't save you!

"Don't panic, don't panic!"

The second-in-command, forcing himself to remain calm, drew his dagger and roared, his voice trembling with fear, "Just a few beasts! Shoot them all dead!"

Several daring bandits hesitantly drew their bows, but before they could even fire, an even stranger scene unfolded…

The wolves did not rush up and bite indiscriminately like headless flies.

They had a clear division of labor and acted in unison. First, several smaller wolves silently circled around behind the bandits, blocking their escape route.

Several strong male wolves approached head-on, lowering their bodies in a poised-to-pounce stance.

Meanwhile, the largest alpha wolf stood on the perimeter, its cold wolf eyes fixed on Ye Qingqing's direction.

There was no murderous intent in his eyes; instead, there was a sense of scrutiny and... apprehension?

"This...this doesn't seem right!"

An old bandit stared at the unbelievable scene before him, his teeth chattering. "Wolves... how can wolves be so obedient?"

"Master, they...they seem to be following that girl's orders!"

The second-in-command wasn't stupid either; he naturally sensed that something was wrong.

The wolves could have easily torn them to pieces, but they simply surrounded them without attacking, as if waiting for some command.

Their gazes would occasionally drift towards the girl named Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing stood motionless, holding the two wolf cubs.

She never expected that the wolf cub's howl would actually attract wolves from the mountain.

These two wolf cubs are of the same kind as this pack of wolves; they are their bloodline!

They heard the cubs' calls and sensed the presence of their own kind, which is why they all came out of the nest!

But it seems that the wolves' goal is not to take back the cubs.

Ye Qingqing coldly looked at the group of thugs who were terrified and ran away in a panic, a mocking smile curving her lips.
