Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 93: The Wolves Have All Run Off

The granddaughter’s words must be true!

Qi Zheng didn’t waste any more time. He called over his eldest daughter-in-law to take care of his old wife, while he went to find Qi Quanjin, pulling him aside.

"Dad, what’s up?"

Qi Quanjin was at his wit’s end.

He was worried that the wolf pack might cause more trouble, concerned about his daughter’s health, and still thinking about his old mother’s health. He was practically worried to death.

Seeing him like this, Qi Zheng sighed too: "Fourth son, don’t worry for now. Dad has a way that might make those wolves leave on their own, but, but it’s a bit risky."

"What idea?"

Upon hearing there’s an idea, Qi Quanjin couldn’t care less about whether it was risky or not.

Qi Zheng said, "You take a few basins of clear water to the bonfire; those wolves might leave after drinking the water."

"That’s it?"

Qi Quanjin asked.

Qi Zheng nodded, "That’s it. But this method might not necessarily work."

Qi Quanjin:...

He suddenly felt like his old dad wasn’t here to help, but to joke around with him.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Quanjin seriously said, "Dad, I know you don’t want me to be too tense, but..."

"But your granny’s claw!"

Qi Zheng rolled his eyes at his fourth son, "That’s the method. One person carrying a basin of water isn’t enough. Get a couple more people and have others with tools protect you. If it doesn’t seem right, forget the basins and run back!"

The original plan was for his fourth son to volunteer to do this, but seeing the attitude, Qi Zheng lost his patience.

Qi Quanjin was bewildered.

His first thought was: Dad must really think there are too many sons in the family, so he wants to use this method to reduce their numbers a bit.

But it was just a fleeting thought. Qi Quanjin quickly called people to help him with the task.

Qi Dafu, Qi Sangui, and Qi Quanjin each carried a large basin of water.

Qi Dalang and the remaining village men split into two teams.

One team stayed inside the fire circle to keep watch, while the other cleared a path and escorted the three carrying the basins outside.

Everyone honestly didn’t understand this operation, but they believed Qi Family’s fourth son was capable.

If he wanted to do it this way, there must be a reason for it.

The three basins were placed in order, and then Qi Quanjin called everyone to quickly retreat.

The lead Wolf King came out.

Apart from being slightly larger than the other wild wolves, there was no apparent difference.

The Wolf King sniffed at the three water basins, let out a howl, and retreated back into the wolf pack.

The other wolves uneasily pawed the ground with their claws but didn’t advance.

"What does this mean?"

Qi Quanjin was dumbfounded and hurried to find his old dad.

This method seemed to have some effect, but the effect wasn’t completely clear.

Qi Zheng also couldn’t figure it out.

He looked around and finally rested his gaze on the basin of water just used for the wet cloths for his wife and children, and called to Qi Quanjin, "Fourth son, bring that basin of water out too!"

Qi Quanjin looked at the basin used for several rags, feeling a bit reluctant inside, "Dad, this, this water isn’t that clean anymore, this, isn’t it a bit inappropriate!"

"No matter if it’s appropriate, take it out!"

Qi Zheng ordered.

Qi Quanjin could only take the basin out with a heavy heart, then turned and ran back.

As soon as Qi Quanjin retreated into the fire circle, the Wolf King came forward again.

It sniffed at the fourth basin and licked it happily.

This scene shocked everyone inside the fire circle.

Are animals so picky nowadays?

Even for drinking water, it must have human scent?

After the Wolf King finished drinking, three obviously pregnant female wolves came forward to continue drinking.

Once a basin of water was finished, the Wolf King began pacing in circles in place, continuously howling.

"Dad, I think maybe that basin of water wasn’t enough to drink, what do you think?"

Qi Quanjin stood beside his old dad and elbowed him, unable to resist after seeing the Wolf King’s reaction.

Qi Zheng directly tapped his arm with the tobacco pipe, "Knowing it’s not enough, why not hurry and get some more!"

"Hey!"

Qi Quanjin didn’t feel pain from the hit and quickly fetched another bucket of water, urging the women in the family to thoroughly soak the cooling cloths in the bucket.

Although Yi Meng didn’t understand this wave of the wolves’ actions either, as long as they could coexist more peacefully with the wolves, she was quite willing.

The cloths were soaked, slightly wrung, and then placed on the girl’s forehead.

The little girl had her eyes closed and it was unclear whether she was asleep, her face flushed unhealthily, lips a bit dry.

A new bucket of water scented with human odor was carried out by Qi Quanjin and poured into an empty wooden basin.

Seeing some was left, he dumped out another basin of water and poured the remaining water into the basin.

Having done all this, Qi Quanjin still turned and ran back.

He had no choice but to run; those green glowing eyes and stark white sharp teeth were all directed at him. Even though he could risk his life to protect his family, it didn’t mean he wasn’t scared of those things!

Upon entering the fire circle, the Wolf King again came forward, ensuring that the water was indeed special, before allowing the other wild wolves to come forward and drink.

By the third refill, Qi Quanjin was no longer alone.

They repeated this over ten times, ensuring every wild wolf in the wolf pack drank to their fill.

The head wolf let out a long howl, then the pack turned and ran into the forest.

Came hastily, went even more so.

If not for the wolf tracks on the ground and the empty basins, everyone might think the previous standoff was a shared dream.

"Did they just leave?"

Someone couldn’t help but question.

Then everyone turned their gaze toward Qi Quanjin.

He was the first to bring water to the wild wolves, and now that they ran off after drinking it, it proved this method worked.

So everyone was curious about how the fourth son of the Qi Family figured out the wolves’ intentions.

Qi Quanjin was watched until he felt a bit awkward, smiling sheepishly, he said, "Well, since the wolf pack has left, then everyone can take a break."

Before anyone could prompt him to say more, they were interrupted by the sound of running and questions.

"Qi Si, did the wolf pack leave?"

The newcomer was Ji Hu.

His clothes were a bit messy, leaves in his hair, and his pant legs were completely soaked.

Qi Quanjin looked at him, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Ji Hu was a good kid, but he hadn’t stayed to face the wild wolves.

Qi Quanjin could understand his choice not to stay, but now facing him again, there was an undeniable sense of distance.
