Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Therefore, compared with their brothers and sisters from the other two rooms, the three children of Xiao Wei's family all appeared thin and short, and signs of malnutrition were clearly visible.

The old lady's favorite was her eldest grandson, Xiao Chenting, from the first wife's house. He had passed the imperial examination at a young age, but her own grandchildren had difficulty even learning basic literacy.

Now, their third branch has finally officially separated from the old lady. This meal of meat no longer needs to depend on others, but will be their own feast.

In a short while, the meat in the pot was eaten up cleanly. Every face was flushed with satisfaction and the corners of their mouths were greasy.

Xiao Tingxuan wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and gave Xiao Zhixue a thumbs up, "Little sister, I am not bragging. To be honest, your cooking skills are even better than our mother's!"

Zhou Shuqiong nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Tingxuan is right, my mother's cooking skills are indeed not as good as Zhixue's."

Facing the praise from her family, Xiao Zhixue just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

In her previous life, she had a unique love and obsession with food. Now as a farm girl, she should know how to treat her taste buds and stomach well.

If she is lucky enough to catch hares, pheasants and other prey in the future, she will definitely show her skills again so that the whole family can enjoy a feast and share the joy brought by delicious food.

After dinner, the family packed up in an orderly manner and got ready to go.

When we reached the fork in the road leading down the mountain, we saw that a winding path had been trampled out by many people on the side of the mountain.

The five people moved slowly and carefully down the mountain along the path.

Although the road ahead is bumpy, every pothole and pile of rocks seems to be a guide left deliberately.

It proves that although this road is difficult, it is a real way.

At least, it ensured that the Xiao family and their group didn't have to worry about sudden deep pits.

On the ground not far away, three intersecting footprints were clearly visible, of varying sizes and depths, undoubtedly revealing the whereabouts of Fan Yanmu and his group.

"Dad, the path over there is muddy, but there are footprints of villagers, proving that it is a feasible way. If we follow their footsteps, we will be safe."

Xiao Zhixue pointed to the path that had been worn smooth by time and footsteps.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Xiao Wei responded cheerfully and walked ahead with big strides.

Xiao Zhixue followed closely behind, gently holding her mother Zhou Shuqiong's hand.

After a long walk, they finally arrived at a wide road.

The family sat down on the side of the road, enjoying this moment of tranquility and rest.

Xiao Zhixue took out the water bag and carefully poured some precious spiritual spring water into it.

As night fell quietly and stars dotted the sky, the tired family sat around the newly lit bonfire.

"You guys rest first, I'll be on guard tonight." Xiao Wei said firmly.

In this wilderness, wild beasts roam around at any time. As the breadwinner of the family, it is his mission to protect the safety of his wife and daughter.

Although Xiao Zhixue felt sorry for her father's hard work, she had no choice but to feel tired and achy as soon as she sat down.

Looking back on my previous life, a mere five kilometers of weighted cross-country running was just a small part of my daily exercise.

But the original owner was very thin, and after a day of hard trekking, his physical strength was exhausted to the limit.

As the night deepened, Zhou Shuqiong swiftly pulled out two large rags with frayed edges from his bag, spread them on the grass, and motioned for the whole family to rest there.

As soon as Xiao Zhixue touched the ground, she fell into a deep sleep almost the moment she closed her eyes.

But this tranquility did not last long, as a burst of rapid and terrified shouts tore through the silence of the night.

"Get out of here! Don't come over here!" The voice was clearly Xiao Wei's.

Xiao Zhixue woke up suddenly, and with the help of the flickering light of the campfire, she vaguely saw three green eyes not far away.

There were three huge wild wolves, quietly surrounding them and staring at them greedily.

Zhou Shuqiong, Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan were also startled by the sudden shouting. The three of them sat up suddenly, their faces full of shock and panic.

In a panic, they grabbed the packages containing some food and clothes nearby and tried to use them as a temporary defense.

Although Xiao Zhixue was afraid, she was more calm. She quickly took out the rusty but still sharp kitchen knife from the package and stood up without hesitation.

At this moment, three wild wolves were approaching step by step.

Under the interlaced reflections of moonlight and firelight, the three wolves charged at the same time.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Wei instinctively grabbed a burning thick wooden stick beside the fire and swung it at the greedy beasts.

However, the wolf easily avoided his attack and pounced again.

At this critical moment, Xiao Zhixue keenly captured the figure of the wolf leader.

She took a deep breath, and the kitchen knife in her hand drew a cold arc in the air, slashing hard at the wolf's flank.

The extremely sharp kitchen knife instantly cut off one of the wolf's ears.

The wolf head let out a shrill cry that echoed throughout the valley.

The severely injured wolf head instantly lost its attack momentum and its body swayed slightly.

The other two wolves witnessed the miserable state of their companion and their eyes became even more ferocious. They turned around without hesitation and pounced directly towards Zhou Shuqiong and the other two.

Xiao Tingrui had a solemn expression on his face, tightly holding the spatula in his hand. Despite his frail body, he still decided to step forward and do his best to protect his family.

Seeing Xiao Tingrui being knocked back repeatedly by the fierce attack of the wolves, and finally falling to the ground under the burden, and being firmly pinned down by a wolf, Xiao Tingxuan was anxious and rushed forward without hesitation.

At the same time, Zhou Shuqiong was also pounced on from the side by another wolf. She was terrified and could only struggle hard to try to escape the impending disaster.

At this critical moment, Xiao Wei held a burning stick and smashed it towards the wolves.

Xiao Zhixue was extremely anxious when she saw her family fighting a desperate battle with the wolves.

She gripped the kitchen knife tightly, shook her wrist, and with a flash of the knife, she pushed the wolf back a few steps.

Then, she ran to Xiao Tingrui's position without hesitation, and accurately chopped the neck of the wolf that was pressing down on Xiao Tingrui with the kitchen knife.

She had incredible strength, and the blow was as powerful as thunder, actually chopping off the wolf's head.

Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan, who had just escaped from the wolf's mouth, saw the wolf head rushing towards Xiao Zhixue frantically, and their faces turned pale.

"My little sister is in danger, get out of the way!"

She turned around quickly and stabbed the wolf's neck with the kitchen knife like lightning.

The wolf leader reacted quickly and nimbly dodged the attack.

Xiao Zhixue knew that the wolf leader's howl was undoubtedly a signal for the wolf pack to assemble. If they continued to fight with the wolf pack here, once the wolves arrived, they would face the desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.

Time is running out and we must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

She glanced at the bundle on the ground and suddenly remembered that there was a can of chili powder hidden in it.

She acted decisively and shouted to her family, "Hide behind me! Second brother, give me the chili powder!"
