Chapter 276 Fireworks and Firecrackers Drive Away the Wolves
Xu Yuan was originally washing up in the bathroom outside. Since the bathroom had good sound insulation, she did not notice anything unusual before the wolf howled.
When the thrilling wolf howl suddenly sounded, Xu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, quickly put on his clothes and rushed out.
"Ningning! Xiaobao!" Xu Yuan's heart was filled with panic, and she anxiously called their names. Fortunately, when she came out, Xu Ning and Xu Yuan were safe and sound. They had already blocked their bodies with the table and confronted the wolves with sticks in hand.
"Xiaobao, be careful! Second sister will come to help you soon!" Xu Ning was also filled with fear, but she tried to stay calm. Her hands kept shaking as she took the firecrackers out of the treasure box.
Xu Yuan's shout at this time was like a reassurance, which instantly calmed Xu Ning. She stopped shaking her hands, took out her lighter without hesitation, pointed it at the fuse of the firecrackers, lit it, and quickly threw it at the wolves.
The sound of explosions mixed with the howling of wolves echoed in the air, and at this time, Xu Yuan had already rushed to the side of the siblings. She swung the sword in her hand and slashed at the wolf approaching them.
With Xu Yuan's cover, Xu Ning quickly took out the fireworks bazooka, lit it, and then she and Xu Feng each held one and attacked the wolves without fear.
"bang bang bang"
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
"bang bang bang"
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
The colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky like a blooming flower, lighting up the entire mountain range. With the help of this light, the three Xu sisters and brothers finally saw the wolves surrounding them. As more fireworks continued to explode, the wolves were frightened by the sudden bright light and loud noise and fled in all directions.
Xu Yuan took the opportunity to pull Xu Ning and Xu Feng, leaning against the stone mountain, and concentrating on dealing with the wolves in front of her. She waved the sword in her hand and fought a desperate battle with the wolves.
Finally, the last wolf that hadn't escaped fell under Xu Yuan's knife. Xu Ning slid to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, as if breathing had become so precious.
Xu Feng was completely numb and sat on the muddy ground, unable to move. Only Xu Yuan remained alert to check if there were any wolves left.
"The wolf king has run away, Ningning. There are a total of seven wolves dead here." Xu Ning had caught his breath enough, so he got up from the ground and put the dead wolves into the treasure chest.
"Let them run away. They are also very scared. They probably won't come back for a while." Xu Ning rubbed his sore arm. Wolves usually don't retaliate for being scared away.
Wolves are wild animals whose actions are driven primarily by instinct and the need to survive, not by any motive of revenge.
"Aunt Yuan, we have to set off tonight. This might be the territory of that pack of wolves." Otherwise, it would be impossible for these wolves to suddenly appear and attack them.
The big tents and small sheds were in a mess, especially the big tents, which were torn to pieces by the wolves, and there were big holes bitten in many places by the wolves.
Xu Ning sighed, looking distressed at the destruction of the tent she had carefully built. She shook her head helplessly, thinking that this was really a nightmare. However, now was not the time to be sad, and she had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
The three of them quickly packed up their things, putting the still usable items into the backpack and treasure box. At the same time, Xu Yuan also kept an eye out for any wolves around to ensure the safety of the siblings.
In the process of exchanging points with the treasure box, Xu Ning discovered something interesting. It turned out that these wolves were not ordinary wild wolves, but a special species. They were larger than ordinary wild wolves, with more beautiful fur, and their teeth and claws were very sharp, which could easily tear tents and clothes.
Xu Ning suddenly thought, if these wolves could be tamed to guard the house, how safe it would be. However, she knew it was just a fantasy, after all, these wolves were wild animals and difficult to be tamed by humans.
After packing up, Xu Ning and the other two simply washed up and set off at night. Although the experience caused the siblings to suffer minor injuries, they also learned a lot of valuable experience.
In the days to come, I will be more careful and cautious to protect the safety of myself and my family.
The following days passed very smoothly without any trouble or danger.
On the morning of the sixteenth day after leaving the valley, Xu Ning, Xu Yuan and Xu Feng finally arrived at Haicheng in the northeast of the valley.
When they arrived at Haicheng, they found a group of people gathered at the city gate and lined up to enter the city. They did not need to pay to enter the city, but they had to provide a valid ID or pass.
Xu Ning and his companions took out the household registration certificate of Xianyu Village and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city. Seeing the dusty appearance of the three sisters and brothers, the soldiers asked them a few simple questions and then let them enter the city.
After entering the city gate, the first thing Xu Ning and his companions did was to find an inn and book two rooms to rest in. Exhausted after a long journey, they urgently needed to wash up, eat something and rest.
Since Xu Ning gave a few copper coins as a tip, the waiter quickly delivered the hot meals and dishes to the room.
"Miss, the hot water has been delivered to another room. Do you have any other instructions?" The waiter had a very sincere smile on his face. Xu Ning waved his hand, and the waiter wisely withdrew.
When the waiter returned to the lobby, he saw several soldiers walking in.
The waiter immediately went over with a smile, "Sir, would you like to stop by for a meal or stay the night?"
"Waiter, did three children just come to your store?" one of the soldiers asked. Seeing that his tone was not aggressive, the waiter also said carefully, "Two children and a young girl just checked in. I wonder if they are the ones you are looking for."
"That's right. Please go and tell the lady in charge of that house that General Pei is looking for them."
The waiter was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and replied with a smile, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to the young lady right away." After that, the waiter quickly walked towards Xu Ning's room.
Arriving at the door, the waiter knocked gently and said, "Miss, there is an official named Pei outside who wants to see you."
"Pei? Didn't Sister Pei and the others go to the capital?" Xu Ning looked at Xu Yuan and Xu Feng in confusion, biting his chopsticks.
"Let's go out and take a look." The three of them put down their chopsticks. Xu Ning opened the door and found only the waiter standing at the door.
The waiter quickly explained, "Miss, they are waiting downstairs and haven't come up yet. It looks like they have something important to discuss with you."
Xu Ning thought that these people found this place so quickly, they must have known about it when they checked the household registration at the city gate. Xu Ning did not embarrass the waiter and said to him, "Waiter, please ask them to come up."
"No trouble, no trouble. I'll go right away."
The waiter turned around and left in a hurry. Not long after, he came to the door of Xu Ning's room with several soldiers.
Xu Ning looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him and found that they had no ill intentions, so he asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to see me for?"
The soldier saluted respectfully and said, "Miss Xu, we are here to look for you on the orders of General Pei. General Pei wants to invite you to his house to discuss something."
"Which general is General Pei?" Xu Ning asked.
After hearing that it was Pei Yongjun, Xu Ning felt relieved and replied politely: "Then please wait a moment. We will follow you after we finish eating and washing up."
The soldier nodded and went downstairs. Xu Ning closed the door and fell into deep thought...
