Chapter 44 - A Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 44: Becoming the Wolf King
Wu Xiao’an looked at Xu Qing worriedly and said, “Sister Xu Qing, what should we do?”
“Since they want to leave, I’ll naturally grant them their wish.” Xu Qing chuckled. It was exactly what she wanted to do now. Not only would she not have to worry about her bad reputation affecting Xu Zhi and the others when they went to school in the future, but she could also establish some agreements. She wouldn’t have to worry about the Xu family clinging to them when they were rich in the future.
“Xiao Yun, help me pay attention to the situation in the Xu family’s old residence. If any of them go to town, inform me.” Xu Qing’s gaze was cold.
“Okay.” Wu Xiao’an didn’t ask further. She felt that Xu Qing was different from before. She was very impressed with Xu Qing now.
However, Auntie Wu wanted to say something but hesitated in the end. After all, this was the Xu family’s business. Moreover, the Xu family… was really too overbearing…
The next day, Xu Qing brought the two men to the mountain. After working hard for two days, she finally finished picking these grapes. Next, she waited for the grapes to ferment and the wine jar could be opened in about a month. However, the wine that was opened at that time wouldn’t be delicious enough. Xu Qing liked wine that fermented for longer.
However, she wasn’t in a hurry. If she wanted more mellow wine, there were many aged wines in the cellar! However, she didn’t see the little white wolf these two days. She wondered where that little fellow had gone to play.
Suddenly, Xu Qing heard a familiar wolf howl and her heart tightened. This sound was very different from the powerful wolf howl from before. Could it be that something had happened to that young wolf?
Xu Qing hurriedly ran out. Qiao Yanhui and Xu Sizhi saw Xu Qing running into the deep mountains and followed her nervously.
The wolf howl became weaker and weaker. Xu Qing’s heart tightened. That young wolf was very intelligent and so nostalgic. She really didn’t want it to die. Her footsteps became faster and faster. Qiao Yanhui didn’t know what Xu Qing was nervous about, but he knew that he had to stay by his wife’s side, and Xu Sizhi was also by Xu Qing’s side to protect her. This forest wasn’t a place to wander around in! He wondered what was wrong with her!
Xu Qing followed the source of the voice and found a cave. The smell of blood wafted from the cave entrance. Xu Qing looked at the dark cave and clenched the knockout powder in her hand.
“The smell of blood here is too strong. It will attract wild beasts.” Xu Sizhi frowned.
Xu Qing nodded. “Sizhi, guard the entrance. Little Hui, follow me in.”
“It’s too dangerous.” Xu Sizhi couldn’t understand why Xu Qing was taking the risk! If he didn’t hear wrongly, that was the Wolf King’s wail.
“There’s no time to worry about that. Guard the entrance!” Xu Qing said and pulled Qiao Yanhui into the cave.
This cave seemed sinister and terrifying, and it was so dark that one couldn’t see their fingers. There was even cold wind whistling beside their ears, making them tremble.
“Honey…” Qiao Yanhui held Xu Qing’s hand.
“Little Hui, don’t be afraid,” Xu Qing comforted.
Actually, Qiao Yanhui wasn’t afraid. It was just that the smell of blood here made his blood boil, as if something was about to rush out of his body. This feeling made Qiao Yanhui very afraid, so he held Xu Qing’s hand tightly, as if only by doing so could he suppress the violent and bloodthirsty feeling in his heart.
Xu Qing touched the cave wall and stepped into the depths of the cave. The sound of wolves howling became clear, and the sound was very pained.
“Little white wolf?” Xu Qing called out softly.
“Roar.” A wolf howl sounded.
In an instant, Xu Qing quickened her pace and finally arrived in the depths of the cave. She lit the lighter in her hand. However, when she saw the scene inside clearly, even Xu Qing, who was holding a scalpel, couldn’t help but feel dizzy!
Broken limbs of wolves could be seen everywhere on the ground. Every wolf’s body was badly mutilated, and some of their intestines had been torn out. The corpses of these wolves surrounded the little white wolf! The snow-white wolf cubs had turned into the color of blood. Some blood belonged to it, and some belonged to other wolves. However, even so, the weak white wolf still had the aura of a ruler. It stood on the corpses with an imposing air.
Xu Qing had heard that the birth of a Wolf King would happen through various battles and challenges! Therefore, Little White had disappeared for the past two days to fight for the Wolf King position? However, the little white wolf was still a young wolf. It should be underage. From the looks of it, it was really strong to have defeated so many adult wolves!
Xu Qing was a little helpless. Just as she was about to reach out and treat its wound, Little White suddenly glared at Xu Qing fiercely, as if it was prepared to tear Xu Qing apart at any moment.
