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

Xiao Tingxuan acted quickly, accurately found the can of chili powder from the messy bag, and handed it to Xiao Zhixue.

After Xiao Zhixue took it, she turned her wrist and quickly pulled out the cork.

Just as the two wolves were about to pounce on her violently again, she swung her arms and threw the whole can of chili powder towards their faces.

The strong, pungent smell instantly invaded the wolves' eyes, burning their eyes like flames, bringing unbearable pain.

The two wolves struggled painfully in mid-air, howling miserably. Then they lost their balance and fell heavily to the ground, their bodies shaking violently and their limbs kicking around, completely losing the ability to attack.

Xiao Zhixue's eyes were as sharp as torches, accurately locking onto the fleeting flaws in the siege.

She flicked her wrist, and with a flash of the knife, the head of a vicious wolf was separated from its body.

Seeing that the leader wolf was about to launch a crazy counterattack, Xiao Zhixue attacked again without hesitation.

The next moment, the sharp blade accurately cut the wolf's neck, and bright red blood spurted out like a fountain, dyeing the originally green grass leaves into a deep red.

After killing three wolves in a row, Xiao Zhixue's physical and mental strength were exhausted.

She panted slightly, sweat slid down her cheeks, wetting the clothes that were clinging to her body.

She quickly took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from her space ring and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Wei and his three companions who were hiding in the dark witnessed Xiao Zhixue fighting one against three and successfully killing two wolves. They were shocked and worried.

They looked worried and asked Xiao Zhixue at the same time: "Are you hurt?" Their words were full of concern and nervousness.

Xiao Zhixue shook her head gently, suppressing her fatigue, and responded firmly: "I'm fine, it's better to leave here quickly, otherwise if the wolves smell the blood and come, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei responded immediately. He swiftly packed everyone's bags and casually stuffed the two blood-stained kitchen knives into them.

Because of the shock just now, Zhou Shuqiong's legs felt as heavy as lead and she could hardly walk. She could only lean on Xiao Wei.

Fortunately, although Xiao Tingrui was scratched by the wolf's claws, he was not seriously injured and could still walk.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue ordered, "Second brother and eldest brother, pack your luggage, and father will carry mother on his back."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately acted according to her arrangements.

Xiao Zhixue bent over and picked up the three wolf corpses, carefully wrapped them with the rags she carried with her, and then carried them on her back.

The family was terrified and fled in a hurry.

Only when they had walked far away and confirmed that the wolves were not following them did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhixue knew very well that any stay in this wilderness might bring unknown dangers, and only by reaching Jinguan Town ahead as soon as possible could she rest in peace.

So, under the cover of night, they trudged all night long despite their exhaustion, until dawn broke in the east, and finally they came to a clear stream.

At this moment, the family was already exhausted, and their legs and feet were shaking.

Zhou Shuqiong was carefully put down from Xiao Wei's back. Her face was pale, but there was a firm light in her eyes.

Xiao Wei looked at his exhausted family members and suggested that they rest here for a while.

Just as Zhou Shuqiong was about to get up to fetch water and cook, Xiao Zhixue stopped her: "Dad and Mom, take a rest first, leave it to me."

After saying this, she took off the wolf corpse from her back and began to skin and clean it with skillful movements.

Seeing this, Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan immediately joined in the busy work.

After experiencing a life-and-death struggle last night, they admired Xiao Zhixue's bravery and decisiveness even more.

At this moment, she is no longer the delicate little sister, but the guardian angel in their hearts.

Xiao Zhixue quickly chopped the wolf meat, placed it aside, asked her family to take good care of it, and then found a place to rest for a while.

After a moment, she stood up and ordered Xiao Tingxuan to make a fire. At the same time, she called Xiao Tingrui, and the two of them went to the nearby mountains to pick wild vegetables.

She knows that eating meat alone can easily make people feel sick of it. If it is cooked with fresh wild vegetables, it will not only taste better but also provide rich nutrition.

Xiao Tingrui washed the blood off his face in the stream, and then walked into the forest side by side with Xiao Zhixue.

They were looking for edible wild vegetables in the bushes, and during that time, Xiao Zhixue also carefully collected some herbs.

Xiao Tingrui saw the herb in her hand and asked in confusion: "Little sister, what kind of herb is this?"

Xiao Zhixue gently shook the herbs in her hand, smiling like a flower: "This is the precious herb for you to heal the scar on your face. When we get home later, I will apply it on you myself. I guarantee that your wound will heal quickly."

A warm feeling surged in Xiao Tingrui's heart, but then he fell into deep self-blame.

He felt that he was so incompetent that his life was saved by his sister at the risk of her life, and now he wanted her to work hard to collect herbs for him.

He lowered his head in shame, his thick eyelashes hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.

"Thank you."

She stared at her eldest brother, her eyes full of understanding and love.

She walked slowly forward, and her slender hand gently fell on his broad shoulders with just the right amount of strength, as if conveying a kind of silent encouragement and comfort.

"Brother, your illness is not difficult to recover. When you recover, follow me to practice boxing and kicking in the forest every morning, and take herbal medicine at night. Our whole family is counting on you as the pillar of the family, so you must have confidence and be ruthless to yourself."

When Xiao Tingrui listened to his sister's words, a fire of hope seemed to be ignited in his heart.

He nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Don't worry, little sister, I will train hard and never let you worry about me again."

The brother and sister filled a basket with wild vegetables and herbs and walked along the winding path towards the clear river.

When they got near the river, they found dozens of people gathered there.

These people were dressed in rags, with haggard faces, and with worn-out bags piled beside them. They were obviously refugees who had been displaced in this chaotic world.

Some of them were busy with their work, while others were gazing into the distance with worry on their faces. Although there was no verbal communication between them, they could feel the sense of sympathy.

When the two returned to their family, Xiao Zhixue carefully washed the wild vegetables and herbs she had picked in the gurgling river.

Suddenly, a sharp shout pierced the silence like an arrow: "Where have you been, you idiot? Have you abandoned your parents?"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw the familiar figure.

Wang, the second daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, was sitting in the crowd, with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and a menacing look on her face.

Next to him was Xiao Yunkai with a cloth wrapped around his forehead. He stared at Xiao Zhixue viciously, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

Faced with Wang's provocation, Xiao Zhixue did not get angry. She just slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, and continued to concentrate on the work in her hands.

Her calm attitude made people around her admire her secretly.
