From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 774 - 770: Encounter Danger

Lu Yuanfeng’s voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it.

The Huang Brothers exchanged a look, gritting their teeth, "Brother Fengzi, let’s go separately; with this big group, the wolves won’t dare come near smelling us.

We’ve been roaming the mountains for most of the day, and if we delay any further, this trip will really be fruitless."

Originally, Huang Da and Huang Er wanted to follow Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang, even just collecting small prey would make the trip worthwhile.

But they realized that as they walked, all the animals had hidden away, and even the wolves only left footprints but didn’t show up.

"But separating might encounter danger; Shuangshuang and I are capable of self-defense, if you follow us..."

Lu Yuanfeng’s words were interrupted by Huang Er.

"Brother Fengzi, actually, there’s no need to underestimate us brothers, though we haven’t caught any prey, our hunting skills were learned practically from old hunters, and we want to prove ourselves as well."

The Huang Brothers insisted on leaving, Lu Yuanfeng couldn’t persuade them otherwise and could only ask them to be careful.

As for himself, he pulled Mu Shuangshuang along, made a simple trap on the ground, set the Beast Trap, and found a concealed spot to hide.

Lu Yuanfeng whispered to Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, I’ve visited this spot quite a few times, and only wild boars and deer showed up here before, I don’t know why wolves have appeared.

However, this path seems to be one animals like to pass through, so no matter what comes later, we’ll hunt it down, okay?"

Mu Shuangshuang naturally nodded, as she was a novice in hunting and didn’t understand anything, she could only rely on Lu Yuanfeng.

The hemp rope in her hand was clenched tightly, ready to ensnare the prey once it appeared.

This time, Lu Yuanfeng did an excellent job hiding, using snow and leaves to cover them tightly.

Any slight rustling wouldn’t transmit outward.

In winter, animals are extremely alert, whether herbivorous or carnivorous.

Ultimately, it’s the food shortage in winter that turns the forests into a battlefield, only cautious animals can survive the season. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After waiting for half an hour, Mu Shuangshuang was frozen stiff, not knowing how to handle the rope anymore.

Her whole body shivered uncontrollably.

Beside her, Lu Yuanfeng noticed, gritting his teeth and pulling Mu Shuangshuang close to his waist.

Once she was near Lu Yuanfeng, she felt warmth returning.

Perhaps it was the serenely quiet environment today that made Mu Shuangshuang slightly embarrassed; just looking at Lu Yuanfeng made her heart pound endlessly.

Just as she was about to ask, Lu Yuanfeng gestured for her to be quiet.

Mu Shuangshuang realized something was up.

After waiting for a while with no prey in sight, Huang Er returned.

In just over half an hour, Huang Er seemed to have transformed, dirty all over, with his sleeves torn in several places revealing the white cotton inside.

Sweat dripped off his brow continuously, looking frantically anxious.

He lowered his voice and called, "Fengzi... Fengzi, save him..."

Huang Er was nearly driven mad, completely unaware of the simple trap Lu Yuanfeng had set on the ground, almost stepping into it until Lu Yuanfeng suddenly stood up shouting, "There’s a trap, be careful!"

Huang Er stepped back repeatedly, steadying himself.

"Brother Fengzi, come quickly..." Huang Er howled, his face contorted with pain, eyes red.

It seemed something serious had happened.

Lu Yuanfeng rushed over, Mu Shuangshuang hesitated before her frozen limbs regained sensation.

She hurried forward and asked, "Huang Er, what’s going on, what happened to your brother?"

Huang Da and Huang Er were older than Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, but due to past events, they had gotten used to calling them by their names.

"Wolves... wolves..." Huang Er stammered.

No matter how much Lu Yuanfeng asked, he only uttered those words.

"Huang Er, calm down, say it one sentence at a time. With just words here and there, we won’t understand what you’re saying."

Huang Er took several deep breaths to clear his thoughts.

"There’s no time, my brother is besieged by wolves..."

After speaking, Huang Er grabbed Lu Yuanfeng and ran in the direction he had come from.

Mu Shuangshuang closely followed, overhearing what had happened between Huang Er and Huang Da.

Apparently, they separated from Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng partly to prove their own capabilities, and partly not to hold them back.

The Huang Brothers believed Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to be skilled enough, catching prey without them.

But with them around, Lu Yuanfeng was constrained.

In short, the two deliberately chose a different direction, unexpectedly encountering wolves.

Without thinking, Huang Er shot an arrow at a wolf; rather than killing it, he nearly got himself killed.

Detected by the wolf pack, Huang Da protected Huang Er and became trapped among the wolves.

The three rushed to the place Huang Er mentioned, seeing Huang Da surrounded by more than a dozen wolves.

This situation was such that not only couldn’t people get in, even flies might not get out.

In fact, there weren’t many arrows left in Huang Da’s quiver.

On the ground were dozens of used arrows, indicating Huang Da was relying on them to keep the wolves from biting him outright.

"Brother, I have to save my brother..." Huang Er said, wanting to charge at the wolves.

Lu Yuanfeng grabbed his arm, "Huang Er, calm down. Charging in like this won’t save your brother, you’ll just endanger yourself."

Huang Er was emotionally intense, "How could I harm my brother? If I go out there, the wolves will chase me, then my brother can get out of trouble."

Nearby, Mu Shuangshuang sighed hearing this, unsure whether Huang Er was truly foolish or just pretending.

So many wolves couldn’t be satisfied with just one Huang Er, perhaps not even with ten or eight.

"Brother Fengzi, you don’t understand how important my brother is to me. These years, if it weren’t for him, I’d be dead long ago. You know how it feels? My brother is clearly better at everything, but he always lets me take my pick first in food and clothing, he always takes what I don’t want."

Speaking of Huang Da, Huang Er was full of words, and the more he spoke, the more he wanted to cry.

A man crying in front of others is no easy thing, but mentioning Huang Da, Huang Er cried.

"I don’t care, I want to save my brother, let me go." Huang Er cried.

"Alright then, crying like this as a grown man, what does it look like? Aren’t you trying to save your brother?" Mu Shuangshuang said.
