The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen
Chapter 11 Encountering a Wolf Pack
After all the preparations for the trip up the mountain were complete, Wang Xinyao carefully arranged the children's lunch. She told Chen Jingyuan and Xie Xiaohua, "Be sure to take good care of your two sisters and wait for me to come back."
Several people nodded in unison.
Wang Xinyao picked up the hoe and hatchet, and carried the slightly old but sturdy backpack on her back, and walked resolutely towards the mountains.
Along the way, the breeze rustled the leaves, but I didn't see any people working. Maybe the workers had finished their work and went back to have breakfast.
The scenery on the mountain was still picturesque, with rolling green hills, shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling a fairyland. However, Wang Xinyao had no time to admire the beautiful scenery. Her only thought was to find enough food for the children and items that could be exchanged for money.
She rushed up the mountain without distraction, as if there was an invisible force pushing her. The chestnuts and palm mushrooms halfway up the mountain were like beacons of hope, waving to her!
She came to the mountainside where she had been the day before with familiarity. Round chestnuts lay quietly on the ground, as if waiting for her arrival.
There were still no signs of other people walking on the back mountain, which made Wang Xinyao feel a little relieved. Without hesitation, she bent down and began to pick chestnuts with skillful movements.
"After picking chestnuts, I can pick palm mushrooms later. If I'm lucky, I might even find a ginseng or something." Wang Xinyao was dreaming as she picked, imagining the happy smiles of the children when they ate the delicious food, and the scene where the children could wear new clothes and have a full meal after exchanging the precious ginseng for money.
Soon, the chestnuts filled the entire large bag. Next came the mushroom picking process, which was even faster because if you found a place with one mushroom, there would probably be ten or eight more growing there.
Wang Xinyao excitedly scurried through the forest, searching for treasures hidden in the underbrush. Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, scanning every possible spot for mushrooms. Soon, another large bag was full.
Wang Xinyao was ecstatic at the sight of her bountiful harvest. With food now a problem, the next step was to see if she could find any medicinal herbs to sell at the town's pharmacy.
This is definitely a treasure trove, with all kinds of medicinal herbs. In less than a quarter of an hour, she had dug up a whole basket of herbs. At this time, she saw a ginseng.
Wang Xinyao was overjoyed. She dug the ginseng gently, fearing she might accidentally break the skin and reduce the selling price. After much effort, she finally unearthed the ginseng intact. Just by looking at its appearance, she could tell it was at least 500 years old.
It seems that God still has some mercy on her. Think of Wang Xinyao, once an elite police officer from the 21st century, so heroic and valiant. However, after arriving in the ancient world, life was incredibly difficult. Every day, she was hungry, cold, and had a bunch of children to raise. Her life was truly miserable.
She placed the ginseng at the bottom of the basket with great care. She was so careful mainly because she was afraid that the ginseng would fall out of the basket on the way home.
Just as Wang Xinyao shouldered her backpack and prepared to set off for home, she heard a sudden, loud noise not far away. Her heart tightened, and a strong sense of unease washed over her. She quickly put down her backpack and the bag she was carrying, her right hand tightly gripping the hatchet, her expression solemn, as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
After a while, two wolves appeared in the bushes, looking for food while walking, and were walking towards Wang Xinyao. Wang Xinyao's palms were full of sweat!
In her previous life, she really wasn't particularly afraid and did have the courage to challenge two wolves, but with this body now, she really wasn't sure. What's more, wolves are social animals. She wasn't sure that she could kill two wolves while escaping from the possible wolf pack that might chase her!
At this time, the two wolves also discovered Wang Xinyao. They immediately bared their teeth and looked fierce, and pounced on Wang Xinyao.
Wang Xinyao quickly raised the hatchet in her hand!
A wolf approached first, leaping high and opening its bloody maw. Wang Xinyao dodged to the side and swung her hatchet with all her might, the blade gleaming coldly through the air. The wolf missed, narrowly missing the hatchet.
Another wolf seized the opportunity and attacked from the side, moving incredibly fast. Wang Xinyao reacted quickly, turning quickly, gripping the hatchet with both hands, and slashing at the wolf. The wolf dodged, but the hatchet still left a shallow wound.
The injured wolf became even more ferocious. Wang Xinyao ducked to avoid it, then quickly stood up and plunged the kitchen knife into the wolf's abdomen. The wolf let out another scream.
Seeing its companion injured, the other wolf attacked even more frantically. Wang Xinyao's strength was gradually weakening, but she still fought tenaciously. She kept wielding her kitchen knife, fending off the wolf's attacks. With each attack, Wang Xinyao was also injured!
Wang Xinyao lay covered in wounds, the scars from the wolf's scratches horrifying. The multiply wounded wolf, like a trapped beast, launched a desperate attack. Two wolves leaped at Wang Xinyao simultaneously, like arrows from a bow. Undeterred, Wang Xinyao seized the opportunity and swung her hatchet fiercely. With a flash of cold light, she chopped off the head of one wolf. However, she couldn't dodge the attack from the other wolf. The wolf lunged, sending Wang Xinyao flying two meters like a kite with a broken string, before slamming heavily to the ground. A dull pain suddenly settled in her chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, spilling onto her left hand. The crimson stains were dazzling in the sunlight. Meanwhile, the wounded wolf, its maw wide open, lunged again. Its figure, like the grim reaper of death, loomed over Wang Xinyao.
Wang Xinyao was powerless to escape, and could only hopelessly await death. Her eyes revealed a mixture of reluctance and helplessness, yet she felt helpless. She thought of her children at home, who were still waiting for her to return, waiting for her to bring back food and hope. She told herself she couldn't die here; she had to live.
Wang Xinyao gritted her teeth, mustered her last bit of strength, and hurled the hatchet at the oncoming wolf. Just as the wolf was about to strike her head, the hatchet struck the wolf's chest with lightning precision. The wolf then fell on her, motionless.
What a close call! Wang Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, having just escaped death. Before she could relax and collapse to the ground to rest, she heard a huge noise. Looking up, she saw a pack of huge wolves rushing towards her like a tide, their number too numerous to count.
Perhaps they'd heard the fighting, attracting the wolves on the prowl. Watching the wolves, their teeth bared and their faces bared, charging towards them like ferocious beasts, Wang Xinyao's heart sank once again, a wave of despair filling her. Could it be that Heaven really wouldn't give me a chance to survive? Her heart suddenly felt heavy again, and blood gushed out of her mouth again, spraying all over her left fingers.
