"Miss Nian, why don't I go by myself? You were sleeping so soundly, I shouldn't have woken you up."

"It's windy outside. Your voice changed when you spoke just now. If you go out in the wind again, you might catch a cold." Luo Yuanxiang lowered her eyes.

Nian Susu rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay, just a little stuffy. Just drink more hot water and it will be fine."

"Let's go, I'm already up, if you dawdle any longer you'll only disturb my sleep."

A hint of joy flashed across Luo Yuanxiang's eyes, and she smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Nian."

Nian Susu got off the carriage first. Luo Yuanxiang held her hand and jumped down carefully, but she still sprained her ankle accidentally. Luo Yuanxiang immediately threw herself into her arms.

Nian Susu was startled and quickly supported the man.

Luo Yuanxiang took the opportunity to sprinkle the perfume powder hidden in her hand into her clothes, and even got a lot of it on her chest, but it was dark and Nian Susu didn't notice.

"Are you okay? Can you move your feet?" Nian Susu asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, let's go." Luo Yuanxiang urged, pretending to walk away from the fire.

Nian Susu held her down and said, "Wait a moment."

Luo Yuanxiang's nerves immediately tensed up, and she stood there with a strange look on her face, "What...what happened?"

Nian Susu looked around, as if looking for something, but his eyes did not fall on anything concrete, "Where are A Falcon and Qing Yu? Let's ask one of them to come with us."

"We don't know martial arts. If we encounter a wolf, we'll be in trouble. We'd better be careful."

She lifted her skirt and walked forward, toward the fire.

"Wait a minute!" Luo Yuanxiang hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her arm in a hurry, and she took a few steps back.

Nian Susu looked at her in amazement. She didn't expect that Luo Yuanxiang, who looked frail, could be so strong.

Luo Yuanxiang hurriedly let go of her hand, rubbing her handkerchief shyly and said, "No, Miss Nian, they are all men. If they accompany me, I... I'm embarrassed."

"Besides, weren't they both out on patrol? We don't know where they are now. I... I'm a little anxious. Should we go now? As long as we don't go too far, we won't be so unlucky as to encounter wolves."

Seeing that she was really anxious, Nian Susu had no choice but to agree and walk with her away from the fire.

It was difficult to tell the direction in the dark. Nian Susu didn’t know how long she had been walking or which direction she was going. This feeling of confusion made her feel very insecure.

Luo Yuanxiang held her hand, held it tightly, and kept moving forward.

Nian Susu couldn't even see their camp when she looked back, and she was panicking. "Miss Luo." She forcefully broke free from Luo Yuanxiang's hand. "Let's stay here. There's no one else here. If we go any further, I'm afraid we'll get lost."

"Okay." Luo Yuanxiang could only follow her wishes, otherwise it would be bad to arouse suspicion, "Can you please stay away from me that year? Otherwise... I'm embarrassed."

Nian Susu didn't think anything was wrong and walked a little further away, so that there was about a dozen steps between the two of them.

Luo Yuanxiang pretended to squat down, but his actual mind was always on Nian Susu.

Nian Susu turned his back to her, looking into the distance, his eyes fixed on somewhere in the darkness.

There was silence all around, and Luo Yuanxiang was extremely anxious. If she failed tonight, she would be abandoned in Zhongli County tomorrow, and she could not let that happen.

A quarter of an hour later.

Nian Susu rubbed her frozen arms, trying to get some warmth. The wind made her stagger, and her voice was broken: "Miss Luo, are you okay?"

Luo Yuanxiang clutched the hem of her skirt, equally anxious.

"I'm sorry, Miss Nian. I think I have a stomachache. Why don't you go back first?"

That being said, Nian Susu would definitely not leave her alone to go back, so she felt no burden at all when she said this.

As expected, Nian Susu stopped urging her. Instead, he squatted down, hugged his knees, and curled up into a ball.

Finally, hard work paid off. As Luo Yuanxiang prayed for so long, a wolf suddenly appeared on the hillside above their heads.

The wolf stared at the direction of Nian Susu with a fierce look, as if being guided, and walked slowly down the slope with a clear purpose.

Luo Yuanxiang smiled proudly. Just now, she had sprinkled a special spice from her hometown on Su Su's body. This spice was extremely attractive to wolves. Just a little bit of it would stimulate the wolf's desire to hunt.

This spice was originally used by hunters to lure away wolves and buy time to escape. I didn't expect it to be used this way.

The smell of the spice evaporated very quickly. As they walked along, the wind was strong and had blown the fragrance everywhere, which attracted the wolves.

Luo Yuanxiang raised her voice and shouted to her: "I'll be fine soon, Miss Nian."

Nian Susu responded, “Okay.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wolf accelerated and ran towards Nian Susu.

Nian Susu seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly. He saw two wolf eyes with gleaming brilliance staring at him. They were moving so fast that they closed the gap by more than ten steps in the blink of an eye.

"There's a wolf!" she exclaimed, stood up and ran towards Luo Yuanxiang.

Before Luo Yuanxiang could react, she grabbed her wrist and ran forward.

"Run!"

Their speed was no match for the wolf, which soon caught up with them and was getting closer and closer.

Qin Junyu suddenly appeared, just a few dozen meters in front of them.

"Miss Nian! Run to me!"

He ran towards them and they ran towards him. As long as they met up with Qin Junyu, they would be safe. After all, Qin Junyu had a sword in his hand.

"Hurry! Hold on a little longer!" Nian Susu held Luo Yuanxiang's hand tightly.

Luo Yuanxiang's face was still calm. She looked back while running. The wolf was chasing her closely, but it was still some distance away. They had enough time to run to Qin Junyu.

No, Luo Yuanxiang was anxious. If Qin Junyu saved them both, her plan would fail.

At the critical moment, Luo Yuanxiang broke away from Nian Susu's hand and pushed her forward, then turned around to face the wolf behind her, "Miss Nian, you go first!"

Of course Nian Susu wouldn't just abandon her like that. Just as he was about to open his backpack to look for props, the wolf pounced on her... pounced on her.

Luo Yuanxiang was clearly in front of her, with a distance of two body lengths between them, but the wolf seemed to have locked onto its target, jumping over Luo Yuanxiang and pouncing towards her.

At the critical moment, Luo Yuanxiang pounced on her and raised her arms to block the wolf's bloody mouth from biting her.

Luo Yuanxiang, whose arm was bitten, had not yet recovered from his shock when his body flew into the air. The world turned upside down and everything became blurry.

The wolf held her in its mouth and spun her around in the air twice, then bit off a piece of her flesh and threw her away.

Luo Yuanxiang flew several meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

The wolf continued to walk towards Nian Susu. After eating the meat, it was not as violent as before, but its pair of murderous eyes still hinted that she was in a very dangerous situation.
