The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 98 - 96: Head Wolf: ? Don’t Hit Me, I’m an Ally!

Chapter 98: Chapter 96: Head Wolf: ? Don’t Hit Me, I’m an Ally!

The wolf pack was basically taken care of, and when the lead wolf finally arrived with its pack, it saw everyone slowly and determinedly turning their heads.

Another wave coming?

Fueled by their previous victory, their murderous intent surged.

Their eyes were even greener than the wolves’.

The lead wolf looked at Wen Ran, and in that eye contact, Wen Ran weirdly recognized that this wolf...

Seemed to be here to help, just arrived a bit late.

Wen Ran made a few facial expressions, signaling for them to run quickly. The lead wolf didn’t hesitate, letting out a howl as the shotgun hit the ground, then turned and ran with its pack, tails between their legs.

Of course, it wasn’t a wasted trip. With most wolves in the area wiped out, it wanted to take the opportunity to expand its territory!

Aha~

How exhilarating.

The wolves left, leaving behind a field of wolf corpses.

Zhao Tiezhu’s eyes turned red, dropping his shotgun, and with trembling hands, he rushed to the front of Wen Ran.

If Xiao Chenye hadn’t timely blocked him, he would have given Wen Ran a big bear hug.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"

Xiao Chenye stood in front of Wen Ran, pushing Zhao Tiezhu away.

"Brother, don’t you know there’s a difference between men and women? Why act like a fool?"

"I’m not stupid~"

Zhao Tiezhu had always been burly, and with a face that didn’t seem very smart, he hated being called a fool.

Arguing, he said, "I’m just too happy, you know?

Originally, facing the wolf pack, even if we could save a life, at least a few wouldn’t make it, but now it’s just a few scrapes..."

As he spoke, Zhao Tiezhu covered his face and cried, "Seeing close ones die before your eyes is a bitter feeling. We’re really lucky to have Xiao Wen here.

I apologize to you, I’m sorry, I didn’t..."

Wen Ran calmly replied, "I know, didn’t take me seriously."

"I’m sorry."

Before going up the mountain, the team leader specifically instructed him that Xiao Wen was capable and to take good care of her.

And protect the women and children, but Zhao Tiezhu at that time didn’t take Wen Ran seriously at all, thinking, what abilities could a young female volunteer have?

Looking back now, he really regrets it.

"It’s nothing, I understand."

Wen Ran wasn’t someone who held grudges.

Mainly because Zhao Tiezhu treated her alright, never mocking or troubling her, and even showed a lot of care since she was a woman.

Tsk~

Just never saw her as a big deal.

Hongguo had already come down from the tree, silently walked to her side, sat down on the ground, and started crying while hugging Wen Ran’s leg, clearly scared out of her wits.

Wen Ran sighed, "Alright, stop talking about those things, those who aren’t injured come and help tidy up the wolf corpses, the injured hurry and bandage up."

After speaking, Wen Ran paused and turned her head, "Xiao Fang, can you still handle the wounds?"

"I can," Xiao Fang swallowed, "my legs are just a bit weak, need to sit while I do it."

"Alright then, no time to waste, let’s get to work."

Unconsciously, everyone treated Wen Ran like a new type of pillar of support.

Wolves’ pelts can be sold for money, their meat can be eaten, though the taste is average.

Plus, not many dare to provoke wolves, they’re notoriously vindictive. You kill one, and they’re likely to come en masse for revenge.

Hongguo tilted her head up, "Sister~"

"Alright," Wen Ran rubbed Hongguo’s head, "stop crying, wipe your tears, help Sister Xiao Fang, let’s clean up and get ready to go home."

Zhao Tiezhu calmed down, and Wen Ran led Xiao Chenye over, "We need to hurry and leave."

"Mm," Zhao Tiezhu nodded, "It’s not safe here anymore, and besides, we’ve hunted quite a bit this year, we can head back home."

"Okay."

Zhao Tiezhu went to negotiate with another team, while Xiao Chenye grabbed Wen Ran, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"I’m fine," Wen Ran smiled, "I kicked them one by one, who could touch me?"

"Hahaha," Xiao Chenye laughed until he started sucking air through his teeth. Wen Ran frowned, "What’s wrong? Are you hurt?"

"No, I might have just scraped a bit..."

Hongguo, who was helping Xiao Fang, suddenly said, "Sis, Brother Xiao took a hit for you."

Wen Ran couldn’t believe it, "When? Why didn’t you say anything?"

Xiao Chenye scratched his head awkwardly, "It’s nothing, didn’t you kill it afterwards?"

"Honestly," Wen Ran couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart, just pulled him over to put medicine in front of Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang was busy and sweating, gradually not frightened anymore, moving freely among the crowd to bandage wounds.

But busy as she was, she couldn’t attend to Xiao Chenye, so Wen Ran had to apply the medicine herself.

Cleaning up took over half an hour, and no one dawdled. Once they confirmed the campfire was out and no forest fire would start, they carried the wolves and headed down the mountain.

Walking the mountain road at night, especially deep in the mountains, even with torches, was unnerving.

Zhao Tiezhu opened his mouth to sing, an earth-shattering sound almost scared everyone to pieces.

Little Hongguo stumbled and fell.

"Hey, what are you doing? In the middle of the night, scaring people like that!"

Wen Ran frowned and bent down to lift Hongguo up. Hongguo said she was in pain and didn’t get up, "Sister, it hurts too much, let me rest."

Zhao Tiezhu shrank his neck, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare everyone, I just thought singing would give us some courage!"

"You’re really..."

"Are you alright?" Zhao Tiezhu was polite, even showing a good face to Hongguo, "I’m sorry, if needed, I can carry you down."

"No no no," Hongguo was holding onto Wen Ran with one hand, stammering, "No need, I slipped myself, nothing to do with you, I just need to rest."

Wen Ran looked at Hongguo, feeling something was off, and chimed in, "Right, I’ll be here with her, you all go ahead, we’ll catch up soon."

Zhao Tiezhu hesitated, "Really? It’s not safe, is it?"

Wen Ran raised her gaze.

Zhao Tiezhu: "...Sister Wen, I might be overthinking, but don’t take too long, if needed, I’ll arrange for two people to carry her down."

Xiao Chenye gestured dismissively, "Leave it, chatterbox. Go down, I’m staying with them."

"Alright, alright."

The group continued on, and Hongguo stopped fretting.

Wen Ran chuckled, "Come on, what’s the matter? Regret it? Don’t want to go down the mountain with me?"

Hongguo nearly shook her head off, "No, no, no," she shifted aside, revealing an oddly shaped plant, "Sister, look, what’s that!"

"What?"

"Ginseng!"

Wen Ran’s eyes widened, "What the heck?"

"Yeah!" Hongguo was so excited, she had already flipped over and started digging, lowering her voice, "I recognize this thing, Sister just watch."

Xiao Chenye chuckled, "You’re good, quick-witted!"

No wonder she toppled over and didn’t get up.

"Of course," Hongguo couldn’t hold back her joy, "I know what’s what! This is my find, it goes to my sister. If others see it, wouldn’t they mind?"

Her tone was also infected with happiness, "My dad said, meat should be eaten in the bowl, money should be hidden in the kang and spent slowly."
