Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Just as the mother brown bear raised her front paws to attack Little Gray, Zhao Yan suddenly darted out of the bushes and rushed down the hillside in a few strides.

As he ran, he shouted, "Little Gray! Run!"

The sound was sharp and echoed for a long time in the low valley.

The mother brown bear seemed startled by the sudden, sharp noise. She hesitated for a moment, her dark eyes fixed on the person who had come, and she stood in front of her cubs, looking wary.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Little Grey excitedly ran to Zhao Yan's side, circling around her feet and whining and acting cute.

It feels like surviving a disaster.

At that moment, Zhao Yan only wanted to pick up Little Grey and give it a good beating; she had no mood to comfort it.

Look, in order to save this little wolf, she completely exposed herself to an adult brown bear.

This is a big no-no.

Neither her weight nor her arm strength made her a match for this adult brown bear.

She wasn't confident she could defeat the enraged mother brown bear.

It was so big, with strong and powerful muscles bulging on its shoulders and back.

Its forearm has incredible strength; with just a slight swing, she wouldn't be able to dodge in time, and her life would be over in an instant.

Besides, brown bears may look clumsy, but they are actually quite fast runners.

She once saw a report on television that said brown bears can run at speeds of over fifty kilometers per hour.

Moreover, they have great endurance and can run at that speed for dozens of miles without any problem.

What bothered her even more was that this thing could not only climb trees, but also swim.

That's just bizarre.

There was no other way but to confront a brown bear; she had to fight it head-on.

She wouldn't be afraid if she had a gun.

Even the most ferocious physique cannot withstand the bombardment of a steel torrent.

But she doesn't have that thing now, does she?

Zhao Yan kicked the obstructive Little Gray far away, her body tense, assuming a defensive posture.

Upon seeing this, the mother brown bear opposite her opened her huge, blood-red mouth and roared fiercely at her.

"Roar--"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Sanlang, who had been following behind, circled around to the back of the hillside, grabbed his machete, and charged down from the side of the brown bear.

His target wasn't the mother brown bear, but the brown bear cub she was protecting behind her.

If he catches the brown bear cubs, he can give his wife a chance to escape.

Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows as she watched him fly down the hillside in the blink of an eye.

Eh?

Is this the legendary light-footed skill?

Just as Yang Sanlang was a meter away from the brown bear cub, the mother brown bear twitched her nose slightly and suddenly turned her massive body around.

Seeing that someone dared to lay a hand on its child, it raised its forearm and struck Yang Sanlang without saying a word.

"careful!"

Zhao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she flung the dagger in her hand away.

With all her might, the gleaming dagger pierced the brown bear mother's left ear, successfully slowing her swinging motion by a second or two.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Sanlang rolled over to Zhao Yan and said worriedly, "Why are you so silly? It can't hurt me. You should take Little Gray and leave."

He couldn't kill the adult brown bear, but he also wouldn't let it hurt him.

This brown bear is too big and is a threat to them here.

He wants to drive them out of the valley.

The farther the better.

Zhao Yan casually picked up a stone from the ground and held it in her hand, her gaze sweeping over the man.

"No, that would be very dangerous for you."

Although she had no romantic feelings for Yang Sanlang, they had developed a bond of camaraderie along the way.

They are partners and should stand together through thick and thin.

Seeing her firm attitude, Yang Sanlang pursed his thin lips slightly but said nothing more. He stepped forward with his machete, his imposing figure blocking Zhao Yan's path.

"You have no weapon, stay behind me and don't move."

A jolt of electricity ran through Zhao Yan's heart, and she frowned slightly, letting out a soft "hmm".

In her past life, she protected her country; in this life, someone is taking the initiative to protect her.

This feeling... seems pretty good.

"Roar--"

The brown bear mother opposite had her ear pierced by a dagger, and blood was flowing down her head.

It sensed danger, roared at Yang Sanlang and his companion, picked up the brown bear cub from the ground, and ran into the depths of the dense forest without looking back.

"It...ran away?"

A round head peeked out from behind Yang Sanlang, and Zhao Yan looked at the man in surprise.

With her fair skin, exquisite features, and perfect oval face, she looked like a fairy from heaven.

Pure and immaculate, it is not to be defiled.

Yang Sanlang's eyes were fixed, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

His wife is really beautiful.

Zhao Yan seemed to realize that the two were too close, her pretty face tightened, and she quickly took two big steps back to the side.

Seeing her reaction, the feeling of suffocation welled up again. Yang Sanlang coughed lightly and looked at Zhao Yan with his dark eyes.

"You have a problem with me."

He used an affirmative tone.

Ever since he was rescued and reunited with Zhao Yan, he has felt that the wife he was forced to marry is cold towards him and sometimes even resists his contact.

Although they had hardly any physical contact during this time, he could still feel it.

Zhao Yan made no attempt to hide this.

She said expressionlessly, "Yes, I want to divorce you and bring Xiaomi with me, but you won't allow it."

The man's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Why do you want a divorce? Is there really no future for us?"

This is something that Yang Sanlang has never been able to understand.

Aside from being forced to leave home and leaving Zhao Yan alone in the Yang family's environment, he has never done anything to wrong her.

He even refused when General Dou wanted to marry his youngest daughter to him.

In his heart, he was a man who had a wife.

No matter where he is, he might only think about women if the other person is no longer around.

The kind of person he is, once he marries, he's committed to taking full responsibility.

This is a man's responsibility.

Zhao Yan continued calmly, "It's for no reason. Your mother doesn't like me, and I don't like her either. If you go back to the Yang family in the future, I definitely won't go back with you. Rather than making things difficult then, it's better to cut ties cleanly now."

Anyway, she's severed ties with the Yang family and obtained a new household registration. She can register wherever she wants in the future, and no one can utter a word in front of her!

She was so resolute, but unexpectedly Yang Sanlang suddenly grinned.

He threw the machete on the ground, stepped closer to Zhao Yan, and, to her astonishment, reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

The man's deep and magnetic voice gently spoke in Zhao Yan's ear: "Yang Zhangshi is not my biological mother. I am a wild child that my adoptive father picked up from the mountains."

"At that time, Yang Zhangshi had just given birth to her third child. Unfortunately, she had a difficult labor and died shortly after birth. The next day, her adoptive father found me on the mountain and secretly took me home to raise as his third child."
