Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Chapter 33 A Bountiful Harvest from the Wolf's Den

Half an hour later, Zhang Xixi and Xiao Jin arrived at a coniferous forest. Behind a huge rock was a wolf den, but now many wolves were fighting on a flat area outside, probably choosing a wolf king.

Zhang Xixi told Xiao Jin to stay away, and she hid behind a boulder to observe. There were probably sixty or seventy wolves here, all vying for the title of wolf king, and the battle was quite fierce.

The system notification sound was a bit noisy: "System, turn off the scanning function!"

"Host, there are many treasures here. Don't you need the system's help?"

"No need!" Zhang Xixi thought to herself. She already knew there was treasure here, so why bother scanning? She could find it herself.

Zhang Xixi quietly observed her surroundings. There seemed to be a purple Ganoderma lucidum on the boulder, and a resurrection plant on that tree. The large patch on the ground over there should be monkey head mushrooms, and the one in front of her looked like a thousand-year-old top-grade ginseng. Zhang Xixi placed her hand on the ginseng leaf and thought to herself, "Checking in."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in! You are rewarded with 20,000 luck points!"

This ginseng is so appealing! Zhang Xixi reached out and touched a few other smaller ginseng plants. However, she only gained two thousand luck points. These plants were probably descendants of the thousand-year-old ginseng, and they weren't very old, so they weren't very valuable.

Zhang Xixi quietly climbed up the boulder again to observe. Finding no guardians, she quickly reached out and picked the purple Ganoderma lucidum, gaining another 20,000 luck points.

I'm so happy! I'm about to become a hidden little rich woman.

It would be such a waste not to dig this ginseng back. Zhang Xixi didn't bring any tools, and it's too close to the wolf den. If she digs it, the wolves will definitely find her. For the sake of her life, she'd better let the ginseng grow freely here!

Suddenly, a wolf's howl rang out, startling Zhang Xixi. She had been discovered!

Zhang Xixi cautiously glanced at the wolf pack. Fortunately, they hadn't been discovered. But the new wolf king had been chosen so quickly. Would these vengeful wolves be planning to take revenge on them?

Zhang Xixi put the purple Ganoderma into her storage bag, quietly left the wolf's territory, and hurriedly rode Little Gold back home.

When they arrived at the camp, they unexpectedly ran into Zhou and Zhang Wenhong. Seeing Zhang Xixi in a panic, Zhang Wenhong immediately asked, "Little sister, what happened?"

"Second Brother, the wolf pack might be coming to retaliate against us!"

Zhang Wenhong exclaimed in surprise, "What? Has Xiao Jin found out some information?!"

"Let's talk as we walk!" Zhang Xixi gestured for Xiao Jin to go back and keep Xiao Hua company.

Seeing that Zhang Xixi didn't even greet her and that Zhang Wenhong was only talking to Zhang Xixi, Zhou became even angrier. Looking at the backs of the two people in front of her, she cursed Zhang Xixi fiercely in her heart.

"Second Brother, Xiao Jin and I went to the wolf's den. They've already chosen a new wolf king and are probably going to take revenge on us. After all, they lost more than fifty wolves last time, and this grudge is huge. They definitely won't let it go."

Zhang Wenhong was unwilling to accept the fact that so many people had been injured by wolves last time, and he was determined to avenge that loss.

"Little sister, how many wolves are left in the den?"

"About sixty or so!"

Zhang Xixi stopped and looked at Zhang Wenhong. "Second Brother, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Wenhong took out a packet of medicine from his pocket, his eyes shining, and said, "This is a stronger version of the sleeping potion that I got Uncle Wang to make. We can put this in their drinking water, and then we'll wipe out all those wolves!"

Zhang Xixi thought there seemed to be a water pit next to the wolf's den, which was probably where the wolves usually drank water. This method was not bad, but it couldn't guarantee that all the wolves would drink there. She would have to add some extra ingredients.

"Second brother, will the villagers agree?"

Zhang Wenhong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you want to be chased by wolves?"

Zhang Xixi shook her head. Who wants to be chased by wolves? Trying to outlast wolves is just asking for death.

"So the villagers definitely don't want to be chased by wolves, they might as well just wipe them out!"

Zhang Xixi felt her stomach hurting again, she must have been too hasty earlier. Clutching her stomach, she said, "Second brother, go and tell Chief Zhou and the others that it would be best to bring more people. We'll go to the wolf den tomorrow morning, and the rest of the people can retreat to the outer perimeter and continue forward."

"Okay, little sister, you should go and rest for a bit!"

No one knows how Zhang Wenhong convinced the villagers, but after dinner, Zhang Wenhong came to borrow Xiao Jin from Zhang Xixi. He wanted to take Xiao Jin and put the medicine into the water before dawn.

"Second brother, give me the medicine. I'll take Xiao Jin with me. After all, Xiao Jin isn't very familiar with you, and I'm afraid it might cause some trouble!"

“This won’t do!” Zhang Wenhong refused.

The rest of her family disagreed, so Zhang Xixi had to use her silver tongue to persuade them for a long time, but she still went with Zhang Wenhong.

Zhou Yujie wanted to go too, but Zhang Xixi naturally disagreed. "Yujie, we still have so much stuff at home. If you go, who will protect Dabao, Erbao, and the things? Just wait for us to come back!"

Zhang Xixi tidied up her belongings, entrusted the two babies and Duanmu Yun to Zhou Yujie and Chen Shi for care, and set off with Zhang Wenhong to the wolf's den before dawn.

Upon arriving at the wolf's den, they found it eerily quiet. Zhang Wenhong kept watch while Zhang Xixi poured the spiritual spring water mixed with sleeping pills into the ditch. Surprisingly, the task was carried out smoothly.

Zhang Xixi told Xiao Jin to go back and call for help, while she and Zhang Wenhong hid behind the boulder and slowly dug up the ginseng.

As dawn broke, wolves began to emerge from the cave to drink from the waterhole. The rest of the village hadn't returned yet. Zhang Xixi and Zhang Wenhong were still slowly digging for ginseng. This ginseng was incredibly difficult to dig, but they finally managed to unearth it before the main group arrived. The ginseng was very thick and even resembled a human figure; truly a top-grade ginseng!

Zhang Wenhong led the villagers to slit the throats of the wolves lying outside. Hearing the noise, the wolves in the cave all ran out. Fortunately, there were only about twenty of them. The villagers easily dealt with the pack by attacking each wolf with three men at a time!

Zhang Xixi followed behind, touching the check-in button. However, this batch of wolves was very ordinary, with only 500 luck points per wolf. But even a mosquito is meat, and Zhang Xixi didn't mind at all.

They gathered the wolves together and went to look for the treasure, because they had seen the ginseng that looked like a chubby baby in Zhang Xixi's hand when they arrived, so they wanted to try their luck.

Zhang Xixi didn't intend to take all the treasures; she wanted to leave some for the others. So she specifically reminded everyone where the treasures were. Of course, she only mentioned the monkey head mushrooms on the ground after everyone had signed in.

In the end, everyone found some treasures. Zhang Wenhong found a Ganoderma lucidum and a few monkey head mushrooms. Some people found ginseng, some found resurrection grass, and even the least fortunate found a few monkey head mushrooms. This time it can be said to be a great harvest.
