"Go, go, I don't need you to care about me." The little dandy spoke in a very aggressive tone, not fearing death at all. He didn't take his words seriously and waved his hand to tell them to get out quickly.

"Master Tao, hurry up, your grandparents told you to go back to the house." Heizi looked left and right but didn't see any wolves. The officers and people nearby had also run away, so he ran towards them. He was a little scared when he didn't see his master when he entered the house just now. He had wanted to run out to look for someone, but the door was tightly held by Madam Jing's order, so he couldn't get out.

Now that he was out, the old lady was still waiting anxiously. Seeing that he was eager to leave, she ordered him to bring them all back. After Heizi greeted Tao Jin, he greeted Xiaobei's grandfather and the old general, and also avoided the people from the old patriarch's family. Fortunately, they were all running around and had already lost their composure. When kicking the door didn't work, they started looking for places to hide. I didn't pay attention to what they were doing, and I thought everyone was thinking the same thing, busy looking for a hiding place.

The wolves are coming. If we don’t hide now, when will we?

A few people returned to the kitchen door and saw that a lot of firewood and straw had been piled up at the door according to the original arrangement. Several fire piles were already burning, but in order to save firewood and make it burn longer, not much firewood was added and the flames were not too big.

Grandpa Xiaobei didn't go into the house immediately. He and Heizi walked around the kitchen for a while before he was the last one to go into the house.

Seeing the old general return, everyone's nervous hearts finally relaxed a little.

Suddenly, the sweet and sticky voice of Glutinous Rice Dumpling came from the darkness: "Auntie, what is a wolf? Will it eat little rabbits?"

Everyone:…

But they didn't dare tell her that wolves not only eat rabbits, but also eat people. Aunt Zhao didn't know how to answer, so she just said that they were animals that would bite people.

"Oh no! How could I forget my mother? I have to go out for a while. My mother and the others are locked up in the stable, and they are still wearing shackles." Heizi suddenly exclaimed, and his little body that had just sat down immediately jumped up and wanted to open the door. At first he thought he would be safe once he entered the yard, so he was busy looking for his master. Now he realized that it was not safe in the yard either, especially for those serious criminals who were still wearing shackles and had no power to resist.

"Can you save her? There are officers guarding over there, but they won't believe that a pack of wolves will really come in." In addition to the officers in the house, there are officers on duty every night to guard the serious criminals in shifts. If a pack of wolves rushes in, no one believes that their lives are in danger. The officers will still be busy unlocking their shackles and will definitely let them fend for themselves.

"No, I have to go. My mother can't run away with her shackles on." The usually strong Heizi was about to cry. He was inexplicably frightened when he thought that the wolves would definitely go after the unarmed and disabled prisoners.

"Can you save her by going?" Seeing that Heizi was very stubborn and several people couldn't catch him quickly, his little body kept struggling and he was determined to run away. The little playboy was also angry and scolded him.

"Let me go with him."

Jing Chunxi suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and said this to her grandfather, shocking everyone in the other two families: "Why is the child so troublesome? No wonder he followed her into exile in such a strange way."

Si exclaimed and immediately grabbed her: "Xi Jie'er, this is not a joke."

Madam Jing: "No! You can't go."

Even if they knew she had the help of the fairy aunt, the old general and the old lady would not allow it. If Dalang's grandsons were there, it would not be a problem to let one of them go out with her. After all, the wolves hadn't arrived yet. What was the point of a five or six-year-old boy and a seven or eight-year-old girl going out to die? Did they look down on the wolves?

Jing Yongcheng also said: "No! If the wolf really comes, you can't even run away, and you still want to save people?" As for Xiaobei, the old general also had selfish motives and didn't want him to go out. Now there are a room full of elderly, weak, women and children. Except for him and Xiaobei in their family who can carry knives, no one else can do the job. The main thing is that he can't bear to leave his granddaughter. There is no need to risk his life to make this trip to save unrelated people who are not related to him.

But I was also a little worried. Those serious criminals were all wearing shackles. If the wolf really came, there would be no way to escape, unless someone had tremendous strength and could kill the wolf with one punch.

"We can't save him, but I have this." Jing Chunxi suddenly had an awl and a long sewing needle in her hand. This was the only thing she could think of to open the shackles. She had just found it in the small basket for rags in the space in a panic and took it out because she thought it would be useful.

Little Dandy: "With this, it should be possible. I will go out with them too."

Heizi was his henchman, after all. This ugly girl, even though they had no connection, could stand up for him. If he, as the master, was too ruthless, he would be looked down upon. If word got out, his reputation would be ruined. So he had to leave. It hadn't occurred to him until now that his horse was tied to a tree across from the post station. If it got eaten by a wolf, he'd have to walk. He didn't know when he'd be able to buy a horse in the next town. As for the official's grain carts, riding on them would be beneath his status, so he disdained to try.

Jing Chunxi tried to persuade him: "Grandfather, the wolves haven't come yet. We will be careful. If we hear wolves howling, we will run back immediately, even if we can't save anyone."

The two old men were still hesitating, but Jing Chunxi couldn't stand it anymore. He went up to his grandfather and shook his arm, looking unwilling to give in.

Jing Yongcheng had no choice but to look at Heizi who was trying hard to break free, and then at the brat who was a head taller than his granddaughter. "Hurry up and come back quickly. Don't delay. Give her the things and come back immediately. Let her open the lock herself. Don't bother."

Even with these two tools, the lock on the shackles may not be easy to open. If you delay, something bad will definitely happen. What if the child is ignorant and wants to save a group instead of one person? That would be even more troublesome. After years of fighting outside, failure often comes from neglected details, and he also has his own concerns.

Seeing his master and this usually quiet young lady wanting to follow him out to rescue his mother, if time wasn't pressing, Heizi would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow to them. His eyes were a little moist, but he didn't cry. He just said, "Thank you!"
