Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

As dusk fell, Shen She, carrying a basket on his back, walked towards the distant mountains in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xiao Xiao didn't know where Shen She was going, and since Shen She didn't say, she wouldn't ask.

It got dark quickly, and Shen She still hadn't returned. Xiao Xiao felt inexplicably uneasy until Aunt Zhang brought over two bowls of freshly cooked porridge.

As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the house, she warmly helped Xiaoxiao sit down and placed a bowl of porridge in front of her, saying, "Little sister, this is porridge I just cooked. Drink it while it's hot."

Xiao Xiao smiled and accepted the porridge, but showed no intention of drinking it. Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't want to drink it, Aunt Zhang mistakenly thought that she was worried about Shen She's safety. "Sister, don't worry, your cousin and my husband went up the mountain and will be back tomorrow morning."

"Go up the mountain?" Xiao Xiao didn't understand what Shen She, a civil official, and a hunter were going up the mountain for. Did they want to find out the way out of the village so they could make contact with people outside?

After Shen She left, Xiao Xiao naturally didn't rest. While she still had some strength, she thoroughly explored the entire house she was currently living in.

Looking at the surrounding mountains, Xiao Xiao naturally guessed why, while floods ravaged the outside world, displacing people and abandoning fields, people could still live in peace here.

Although they were affected by the disaster and went hungry, at least they were still alive and could support themselves, so they had some hope.

Compared to the disaster victims outside who live a life of constant displacement and rely on the disaster relief grain that has long been embezzled, life here is naturally like a paradise.

“Some people in the village say there’s a lone wolf cub on the mountain. They say it’s a rather cunning little fat wolf. If we could catch it and exchange it for some money in town, we might be able to get through this winter more easily.” Aunt Zhang said to herself, completely unaware of the danger involved. “But don’t worry, my husband is one of the best fighters in the village. There won’t be any danger.”

Xiao Xiao easily pointed out the crux of the matter: "Wolves never travel alone, and this wolf cub was left behind as a strong and healthy creature. The only possibility is that this wolf cub is alive and well in this year of famine. It is just a bait."

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Aunt Zhang's hand holding the bowl trembled in fright, almost spilling the porridge. "How could it be such a coincidence? Perhaps the wolf cub got separated from the wolf pack? The villagers have seen the wolf cub on the mountain for many days. If it had been with a wolf pack, it would have gone back long ago. How could it still be trapped there?"

Shen She may seek his own death, but he must not implicate the innocent.

Xiao Xiao couldn't wait any longer. She put on her coat, grabbed a torch from outside, and ordered Aunt Zhang, who was still deceiving herself inside, "Aunt Zhang, hurry up and wake up all the able-bodied young men in the village. Take the torches and come with me up the mountain to rescue people!"

Although Aunt Zhang was anxious, it was late at night and everyone had already gone to bed. If she rashly called for help now, no one would come.

“Wolves are cunning. If we can’t catch them all tonight, it will be a disaster for the village if they come back. Stealing chickens and dogs is a small matter, but if the wolves set their sights on the children who are not yet able to walk steadily, that would be a huge problem.” Xiaoxiao did not give Aunt Zhang a chance to hesitate and told her the pros and cons directly.

In times of famine, people are even forced to eat the corpses of the starved to death to make dried fruit, let alone unintelligent animals.

Strong and healthy young people will naturally not be persecuted, but what about the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who are powerless to even kill a chicken?

Aunt Zhang dared not think any further and quickly set off with a torch to call the villagers to go up the mountain to kill the wolves.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, in front of a giant trap, Wang Da put away the fatty meat he had used to lure the wolf cubs, hung it on his waist, and looked at the five or six adult female wolves in the cave. He was even more impressed with Shen She. "I knew it! Why were these wolf cubs going deeper and deeper? They wanted us to be their food for the winter! Luckily, you guessed it was a trap early on, or I would have suffered a great loss. Looking at their bulging bellies and murmuring, it's obvious they're pregnant. We can kill them after they're born."

Compared to Wang Da's excitement, Shen She, who was also holding a torch, appeared remarkably calm. "Are there only female wolves here, and no male wolves?"

Wang Da seemed to be influenced by Shen She's calmness and gradually quieted down as well. "I also found it strange. Generally speaking, a wolf pack is usually led by an alpha wolf, with the mother wolves and cubs following behind. But when we captured the wolf cub as bait, only a few pregnant mother wolves came over."

Before Wang Da could finish speaking, Shen She pulled him aside. Before Wang Da could react, a black wolf leaped past them and pounced into the trap.

"Run!" Shen She grabbed Wang Da and ran into the depths of the jungle until they reached a clearing halfway up the mountain, where the alpha wolf blocked their retreat.

The two were surrounded by a pack of more than a dozen wolves. Compared to the plump female wolves they had met before, these male wolves appeared rather thin, perhaps because they hadn't eaten in a long time. They bared their teeth excitedly when they saw Shen She and Wang Da.

Even Wang Da was clearly panicked; his hand holding the torch was trembling. "Brother Shen, if I don't come back alive, my wife and those two good-for-nothing bastards are in your hands."

As Wang Da spoke, he picked up the fat on his body and prepared to walk back, intending to use himself as bait to lure the wolf pack back into the trap.

Shen She raised a torch to block Wang Da's path, saying, "Wolves are afraid of fire. As long as the torch doesn't go out, we can survive until dawn."

As he spoke, he waved the torch at the approaching wolves. Sure enough, when the wolves saw the torch coming closer, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Wang Da raised his torch and waved it at the wolf pack, mimicking Shen She's expression. Seeing that the wolves indeed stopped approaching at the sight of the fire, he became excited and yelled at them, "Damn it, you little beasts, come on! I, Grandpa Wang, will teach you a lesson! Why are you all too scared? Come on!"

The torches clearly intimidated a small number of wolves, but the alpha wolf continued to try to approach them.

Shen She understood the principle of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" and "shooting the bird that sticks out." While Wang Da was attracting the attention of most of the wolf pack, Shen She gradually retreated to a large enough tree, waiting for an opportunity to attack the alpha wolf.

The alpha wolf seemed to have noticed Shen She as well.

Compared to the burly Wang Da, Shen She looked thinner and easier to ambush, so the ambush target was changed to Shen She.

The alpha wolf crawled forward, and at that moment, the hidden weapon in Shen She's sleeve spun into place. In order to lower the alpha wolf's guard, Shen She even deliberately lowered the torch.

Seeing that the time was right, the alpha wolf immediately leaped and pounced on Shen She, opening its blood-red maw, intending to swallow Shen She whole.

Wang Da also noticed the commotion near Shen She. He saw the alpha wolf attacking Shen She, but he was held back by several remaining wolves and couldn't go to her aid. He could only helplessly roar, "Shen Huaijin!"

Wang Da, who thought Shen She was in grave danger, was also stunned when he saw the alpha wolf's corpse fall to the ground in less than an instant.

The alpha wolf fell to the ground, but instead of stopping the pack's attack as expected, it made their attacks even more ferocious. After a short while, both Shen She and Wang Duo were injured to some extent.

Seeing that many wolves had fallen and that the wolf pack's attack could not be stopped, Shen She and Wang Da leaned against each other, making their final arrangements.

Wang Da said with some regret, "Alas, I never thought that after catching eagles my whole life, I would end up being pecked in the eye by an eagle. What a miscalculation. I'm going to die before I can do so many things. It's really a pity."

Shen She smiled but remained silent.

Wang Da was still rambling on, "It's a real pity that you died so young."

Shen She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I have a bad reputation, so being devoured by hungry wolves is what I deserve..."

"Pah, what crime could you possibly have committed? At most, it's just that you eloped with your cousin! Don't think I don't know about your relationship. I have a keen eye, and I can tell at a glance that you two are from some wealthy family who ran away together."

Shen She smiled noncommittally, "Brother Wang, don't talk nonsense and ruin my cousin's reputation."

Wang Da slowly stood up and waved his torch at the wolf pack again, "You son of a bitch, even at this point you still say you have nothing to do with your cousin? Fine, if you still don't admit it, then wait until you come down the mountain alive and tell your cousin yourself."

Inspired by Wang Da's passion, Shen She slowly got up as well. "Alright, if I can make it down the mountain alive, I'll invite you to my wedding banquet first!"

"Now that's more like a man!" Wang laughed, then raised his axe, preparing for one last desperate attempt.

Shen She also raised his short knife again. Both of them looked at the wolf pack with solemn expressions, because they both knew that their chances of survival were slim, but they still wanted to take a gamble.

Several wolves, who were already starving, couldn't wait any longer and launched an attack before the two had even settled down.

Shen She now only had a short knife left, and only hand-to-hand combat could win. As he spun the hilt of the knife toward the wolf's belly, Shen She raised his left hand to fend off the wolf's bites. At worst, he would lose his left hand, and that way he would still have a chance to survive.

Just at the critical moment, several rockets flew through the air and hit the wolves' heads precisely, causing the hungry wolves to fall to the ground.

The moment the wolf fell, Xiao Xiao, draped in a red shawl, charged out from the flames.

Her silky black hair fluttered in the firelight, her slender phoenix eyebrows furrowed slightly with anger, her eyes seemed to burn with raging flames, and her lips were tightly pressed together, exuding a murderous aura.

But Shen She felt that Xiao Xiao at this moment was like a goddess descending to earth, saving him from dire straits once again. Although she was furious, she was truly heroic and valiant, the most different woman he had ever seen.

His heart was pounding uncontrollably, a palpitation unlike any he had ever felt before spreading through him. Now, he was somewhat reluctant to die like this.

He wanted to live, even if she scolded him or hated him, he simply wanted to experience the four seasons of an ordinary life with her, eating three meals a day, experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

One more year, just one year is enough!
