Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 115: Then He Won’t Live Either

Fortunately, this time the water pit didn’t need to be too deep. The three brothers dug a trench about two fists deep, rectangular like a horse trough, and then stopped.

Qi Ercai frowned: "Fourth brother, this pit..."

"Second brother, don’t ask so many questions. Let’s go over there and have a look."

Qi Quanjin didn’t give Qi Ercai a chance to ask, directly calling Qi Ercai and Qi Sangui to walk in the direction they had come from.

Qi Ercai got anxious: "Fourth brother, you’re going to leave your wife here alone?"

"It’s fine, my wife is here by the fire. If anything happens, she’ll run back. Right, wife?"

As Qi Quanjin spoke, he didn’t forget to glance at Yi Meng.

While the three of them were digging the pit, Yi Meng had already built a fire three or four meters away from the trough.

Upon hearing this, Yi Meng nodded with a smile: "Yes, second brother, you all go with Brother Jin and take a look around! I’m fine here on my own."

"But..."

Qi Ercai still wasn’t at ease.

Qi Quanjin, however, had already wrapped his arm around his neck, forcibly taking him away.

Qi Sangui looked worriedly at Yi Meng, but seeing her nod with a smile, he had no choice but to leave with his fourth brother.

Although he also didn’t feel comfortable leaving his fourth brother’s wife alone here, he was more used to listening to his fourth brother.

After all, the fourth brother treasured his wife greatly and wouldn’t really harm her.

Once the three of them had gone a bit farther, Yi Meng walked over to the trough and began to pour water into it.

The ground was too dry, and the water wasn’t coming out quickly, but the surrounding soil absorbed the water even faster.

Yi Meng realized that at this rate, when the wolves arrived, she might have to perform an on-the-spot water demonstration.

So she took out a water jar from her space.

This jar was originally placed in the courtyard at home. Because it was damaged, only half of its height could still hold water, so it was used to collect rainwater, usually for watering the vegetable garden.

When they escaped home, they couldn’t take everything with them, so naturally, there was no place for a broken jar like this.

Yi Meng, having the space, casually collected it and didn’t expect it to come in handy at this moment.

As for the good bowls and basins, Yi Meng was reluctant to use them to feed water to the wolf pack.

By filling the water jar, there was no worry about it seeping into the soil, and the water-accumulating speed increased significantly.

But even so, after filling the jar to its maximum, Yi Meng obediently poured water into the trough.

The reason was simple: having witnessed the amount of water the wolves could drink, half a jar might not be enough for them.

Rustling.

A sound suddenly came from a distance in the woods.

Yi Meng looked towards the source of the sound and saw pairs of familiar beady green eyes appear.

"You’ve come."

Yi Meng greeted with a smile: "Drink from the jar first! This here still needs some time."

Originally, she didn’t want to give an on-the-spot water show, but there was no other choice now.

Fortunately, these were just beasts that couldn’t talk, so there was no need to worry about them revealing any secrets.

The wolf pack approached, with the leading wolf sniffing the jar, then growling lowly, signaling some wolves to step forward and drink.

While releasing water, Yi Meng observed the wolf pack.

First, out of boredom to watch the spectacle, and second, to guard against any harmful moves they might make.

With no one else around, should danger arise, she could simply enter her space for safety.

This time, the lead wolf didn’t drink first; instead, it cautiously moved closer to Yi Meng.

Its cautious demeanor made it seem like it was the sheep and Yi Meng was the wolf preying on sheep.

Seeing it approach, Yi Meng also felt tense: "What do you want?"

Upon hearing her speak, the lead wolf immediately sat down, signaling no harm was intended.

However, Yi Meng felt like her assumptions might be wrong.

Could a wolf really show no harm?

How could that be possible?

But the lead wolf indeed stopped moving closer.

Yi Meng contemplated for a moment, then spoke as if talking to herself: "I’m telling you, this is the last time I’ll feed you. We’ve left the mountains, and the upcoming journey will be on flat land. We won’t meet again."

"Tonight, drink as much as you can."

Having interacted with the wolf pack for the fourth time, Yi Meng wasn’t sure if this pack was the same as the first encounter, but she had grown somewhat accustomed in a small way.

Moreover, from the previous nights’ experience where the wolves protected them in their animal way, Yi Meng now saw them, almost as if they were pets.

After hearing this, the lead wolf stood up, scratching the ground with one paw.

Yi Meng got startled, thinking the wolf was about to write, but upon checking, she realized it was just digging, and she sighed in relief.

Having just one sky-defying creature like the little white snake was enough; Yi Meng really didn’t want more animals to behave like intelligent beings.

Too scary.

Seeing no reaction from Yi Meng, the lead wolf nervously circled in place.

Yi Meng frowned: "You wouldn’t want to follow us, would you? I’m telling you, that’s not happening! You are wolves; we are humans. We can’t play and live together happily."

"Besides, you should live in the forest. If you leave here, even if we accept you, others won’t."

"If anyone starts attacking you, we wouldn’t be able to protect you with so few people."

Yi Meng really felt she must be crazy. Otherwise, why would she be chatting so fluently with a wolf? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Moreover, she even worried about the wolves being hunted down by people.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper..."

A wolf that had just drunk water suddenly lay down on the ground, emitting low cries.

Yi Meng was startled, while the lead wolf quickly rushed over to it.

The other wild wolves also halted their drinking, quickly forming a protective circle, surrounding the lead wolf and the whimpering wolf.

Yi Meng watched in fascination and was about to ask what happened when a howl came from within.

This startled Yi Meng, who quickly stood and prepared to retreat, ready to enter her space to hide at any moment.

However, although the wolf pack was united in defense, none of the wolves seemed inclined to rush over and attack her.

"Wife!"

Qi Quanjin hadn’t gone far, still fearing something might happen to his wife.

So upon hearing the wolf howls, he darted back, with Qi Ercai and Qi Sangui trailing behind.

Yi Meng didn’t have time to stop them before the wolf pack had turned their gleaming green eyes towards the charging three men.

"Don’t come over yet!"

Yi Meng instinctually felt that if Qi Quanjin and the others approached, the wolves might charge at them frantically.

Qi Quanjin halted his steps, nearly causing the two behind him to collide.

"Wife, what’s going on? You, come over here quickly!"

Qi Quanjin’s voice quivered with fear.

At this moment, he realized just how dangerous his plan was.

If his wife were to die, he wouldn’t live either!
