The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"No."

Xu Chong disagreed with her proposal.

"Sister Qian, your foot is injured and it's not easy for you to move. If I let you go down the mountain alone and something happens, what will I do?"

Xu Chong expressed his concerns.

But his concerns were right, because Xu Yi and Qiao Xi stopped talking.

Qiao Xi made a bitter face: "What should I do?"

"Ah wu——"

Xu Yi heard that the wolf's howling came from Xu Nan's side.

"We can't delay Xu Nan any longer. We have no choice right now. I'll carry my sister-in-law on my back, and you, Chong, take these things. We'll go over quietly and see what's going on over there before we make any plans."

Xu Chong had no better idea, so he nodded in agreement.

Xu Yi half squatted down and let Qiao Xi lie on his back.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to waste time and temporarily ignored the distinction between men and women. In order to save Xu Yi some energy, she stretched out her arms and gently hugged his neck.

When she stretched out her hand, she accidentally touched Xu Yi's ear. She clearly felt Xu Yi's body stiffen, and then she saw the tip of his ear slowly turn red.

Is he shy?

Although her teacher and junior fellow student were both men, this was the first time Qiao Xi had seen what it looked like for a man to be shy.

It was cute, but Josie was also nervous about his reaction.

She only dared to stare at the back of his head, and she supported herself with her hands as much as possible, trying not to touch him.

The three of them carefully went to Xu Nan's side and found an extremely secluded place to hide.

After seeing the scene clearly, the three of them frowned at the same time.

Just now they were far away and couldn't see clearly, but now that they were closer, they found that there were more than just a few wolves as they had expected.

There were seven or eight wolves under the tree alone, and there was no telling how many more were in the bushes.

There are far more wolves now than there were last night.

Their eyes moved up along the tree trunk, and finally they saw Xu Nan's figure on a tall tree.

However, Xu Nan was only looking down at the wolf and did not notice them.

At this time, several wolves growled a few times and seemed to be restless and wanted to leave. When Xu Nan noticed this, he quickly knocked on the tree trunk with the tools in his hand to attract their attention.

Seeing this situation, the three of them immediately understood his intention.

Qiao Xi felt a little ashamed when she thought about her suggestion to leave first, even though it was to avoid dragging down Xu Yi and the others.

Xu Chong was also surprised. He had originally just asked this kid to lure away the wolves, but he didn't expect that this kid thought more long-term than him.

But does he know that this could be very dangerous?

"Did you tell Xu Nan how to escape from danger later?"

Xu Yi asked Xu Chong in a low voice.

Xu Chong nodded and pointed at the tree where Xu Nan was. "I found that those trees are connected. The original plan was to let him climb up to the last tree along those intersections while the wolf was not paying attention, and then come down. But-"

But he didn't expect that so many wolves would suddenly appear, and now it was almost impossible to avoid their sight.

"Xu Yi, can you think of a solution?"

Faced with this situation, Xu Chong had no choice but to pin his hopes on him.

He always believed that scholars were much smarter than farmers like them.

Qiao Xi frowned. At this moment, she had some ideas, but they were a bit risky. She decided to ask Xu Yi if he had any better ideas.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Xu Yi frowned, looked serious, lowered his eyes, and stood motionless, as if he was thinking.

If it were just him and Chong Ge, they might be able to give it a try, but now there's also the disabled Xu Qiao, so let alone a fight, it's simply like they're sending "food" to their doorstep.

While they were talking, Xu Nan, who had been on the tree, seemed to see them. He was standing on a branch of the tree, holding the tree with one hand and waving at them.

From a distance, Qiao Xi saw his white teeth and her mouth twitched involuntarily, she was speechless.

Xu Nan, normally carefree, could actually laugh at this critical moment. Didn't he see the wolves on the ground?

In order to calm him down, Xu Yi, who usually ignored him, waved to him as a response.

After getting Xu Yi's response, Xu Nan shook his hands even more vigorously.

Qiao Xi couldn't bear to watch it, so she put her hand on her forehead to block her eyes.

"Brother Chong, do you know how to set a trap?"

Xu Yi looked at Xu Chong and asked.

Without any surprise, he saw Xu Chong shaking his head.

That's right, Xu Chong is an honest farmer, how could he possibly understand the work of a hunter.

Xu Yi glanced at Qiao Xi, hesitated, and whispered, "Then I'll trouble you—"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Qiao Xi raise her hand.

Xu Yi signaled her with his eyes to say what she wanted to say quickly.

"I'll set a trap."

She and her teacher were in the middle and late stages of developing the shuttle and were short of test subjects. They were told that there were no creatures they could experiment with and were asked to figure it out on their own. So she and her teacher thought of hunting down the mutated creatures.

At that time, even the weakest creatures were difficult for them to deal with. In order to make progress in her research, she worked very hard to learn how to set traps.

Unexpectedly, I later achieved some success in this area.

When Xu Yi heard her say yes, there was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

"When did sister-in-law learn how to set traps? Why has Yan Zheng never heard big brother and mother mention it?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi smiled slightly and said calmly, "When your eldest brother was here, he never asked me. When my mother-in-law bought me, she didn't ask me what I could do. Besides, I didn't need to do these things at that time, so it's normal for my brother-in-law not to know these things."

She paused, as if thinking of something sad. The smile on her face disappeared, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "To be honest, sister-in-law, I don't know why this thing came to me. It's just that when you asked me just now, the scene of setting the trap appeared in my mind. You know, I only remember what happened after my mother-in-law bought me. I have no memory of anything before that."

These words of Josie's were very true because she was speaking the truth.

By accessing the original Qiao Xi's memories, she discovered that there was a long period of blank memory.

I just don't know if it's a sequelae of her time travel or if the original Qiao Xi was like this.

She just took this opportunity to test Xu Yi and see what the situation was.

And she was not afraid of Xu Yi exposing her, because in Qiao Xi's original memory, she had hardly spoken a few words to Xu Yi.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi stared at Xu Yi, wanting to see his reaction.

Xu Yi frowned, but didn't ask any further questions. He just asked Xu Chong to help her, and then he went to the other side to set a trap.

Seeing his reaction, Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be the latter.

Qiao Xi was very happy to get such a result and had a plan in mind.

So the three of them split into two teams, but none of them dared to make any big noise.

……

Half an hour later, the three of them gathered together again.

Xu Yi looked at Qiao Xi seriously and asked, "Is my sister-in-law's side ready?"

Qiao Xi and Xu Chong nodded at the same time.

Xu Yi nodded and said calmly: "Okay, then I will implement the following plan."
