Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1721: The Carriage Driver
After the incident just now, the carriage driver dared not slack off anymore. Holding a few sticks of firewood, he circled around the fire, adding wood wherever the flames weakened. Only in this way could they and he ensure their survival to return to his wife and child.
In this height of tension, approximately four hours passed, yet the wolves pack remained unwilling to leave, occasionally letting out a long howl...
"Awoo, awoo!"
The sound was long and continuous, echoing far away.
On the outskirts, more lone wolves joined in. Judging by their posture, these wolves wouldn’t give up until they had them in their mouths.
Xuexue worriedly watched as the firewood decreased, looking at Long Rui she asked, "The firewood is dwindling, and there is still some time before dawn. What should we do?"
The wolves would only disperse at dawn. They just had to hold out for a few more hours.
However, without enough firewood, how could they last until dawn?
Long Rui: "No need to worry, my wife. I have a solution."
After saying this, he whispered instructions to Long Yi and then astonishingly leaped outside.
Seeing this, Xuexue became anxious. Although Long Rui was skilled in martial arts, there were thousands of hungry wolves outside watching them like tigers eyeing their prey.
The moment those wolves saw someone come out, they became excited as if injected with adrenaline, surging forward in droves towards Long Rui.
Long Yi, near the fire, also became nervous and quickly shouted, "Master, be careful."
The Prince had instructed him to protect Madam Situ well before leaving, so he dared not leave and could only watch as his master plunged into the wolves pack.
Long Rui, after slaying a few wolves within the pack, instead of lingering, leaped onto the treetop, vanishing into the vast night in an instant.
The wolves couldn’t climb trees; they could only watch helplessly as Long Rui slipped away in front of them.
Being helpless, the wolves returned to guard the fire.
Xuexue asked Long Yi, "Where did the Prince go?"
Long Yi shook his head and said, "I don’t know either. The master only told me to protect you well."
At this moment, the carriage driver came over with a mournful face, "Madam, there’s no firewood left. What should we do now? We’re doomed."
Xuexue was also extremely anxious. Outside, there were thousands of wolves, which were definitely not to be underestimated. Even a highly skilled person in martial arts would be torn to pieces if caught by thousands of hungry wolves. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Seeing a spot where the flames were gradually dying down, the wolves that had been lying on the ground stood up, glaring viciously, intending to pounce the moment the fire died out and tear these people apart.
Xuexue anxiously paced in circles, unwilling to reveal the matter of the space until the last moment.
Raising her head by chance, she saw Xiao Jiu flying over, and suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
"Xiao Jiu, come down."
"Chirp chirp chirp...!"
Xiao Jiu fluttered its wings and flew down, speaking in human words, "What do you want with Xiao Jiu? Is there meat to eat?"
Every time Xuexue called it, there was meat to eat, and Xiao Jiu had gotten used to it.
Xuexue couldn’t help but admire this Qin Bird’s learning ability. In just a few days, it had become so accurate.
She whispered a few words in its ear.
Xiao Jiu nodded repeatedly, then flew up into the air and left.
Just as the flames in one section of the fire were about to go out, not far away came the deafening roar of a tiger...
"Awoo, awoo...!
This tiger’s roar was more intimidating than the howling of the wolves pack.
