The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 233 - 229: Wen Ran: The Actress
Not right!
Very not right!
One hundred percent not right!
The head wolf flipped over and got up from the ground. This time, Wen Ran didn’t even need to urge it as it started working diligently.
Mao Dan, who Qiuyue had been calling for half a day without success, was found by the head wolf in no time.
The good news is, the child is still breathing.
The bad news is, he’s already a bit delirious from the fever.
Wen Ran picked him up, patted his cheek, intending to wake him up.
To her surprise, she saw that the child’s mouth was filled with green herbs.
Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, curious, and straightforwardly pulled out the herbs.
At that moment, a small purple sable was lying on a tree trunk, watching Wen Ran with its beady black eyes, unblinkingly.
Its little paws were still smeared with green juice, clearly indicating who had put the herbs in Mao Dan’s mouth.
Wen Ran didn’t notice it, as this little creature was neither threatening nor conspicuous.
However, the head wolf’s ears moved slightly before it suddenly let out a loud howl.
"Awoo!"
Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat.
Her mind hadn’t caught up yet, but her hand already went for the back of the head wolf’s head.
"Thud!"
"Bang!"
The head wolf took a hit, and the little sable observing from the tree lost its balance in fright and fell straight into Wen Ran’s arms.
To be precise, it fell into Mao Dan’s arms, which Wen Ran was holding.
The loud voice, combined with the external force, finally awakened Mao Dan.
"Mao Dan!" Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright?"
"Qiuyue?"
Seeing Qiuyue, Mao Dan started to cry, "I thought I was going to die."
"You really almost did," Qiuyue seriously said, "if it weren’t for Sister Niu."
Wen Ran: "...?"
The smile on her face cracked.
Oh, heavens.
She had just made up a random name.
"My surname is Wen," Wen Ran explained considerately, "You can call me Sister Wen."
Big Ox is, frankly, an embarrassing name to mention.
Qiuyue looked confused, "Huh? Sister Wen? Aren’t you called Big Ox?"
Wen Ran: "...Hahaha, just kidding."
Both of them agreed to call her Sister Wen.
Ever since falling from the tree, the little purple sable stayed obediently on Mao Dan’s chest, watching the three converse without feeling much fear.
Mao Dan, weakly, said, "When I had a fever, it took care of me."
Recalling the bitterness in his mouth, Mao Dan coughed a couple of times.
A gust of wind blew, causing him to shiver.
Wen Ran knew that things couldn’t go on like this.
She found a cave, made a fire, and left the head wolf to guard while she took ten minutes to catch a big fish from a nearby creek.
The clothes dried, and the fish was cooked.
The two children devoured every bit of the fish meat.
Wen Ran then carried the two of them, one in each arm, over the mountains and back again.
Along the way, she didn’t turn red or pant.
Until Wen Ran’s gaze met the team leader’s.
Wen Ran: "~"
Uh~
How should I put it?
Suddenly, I’m so tired~
Wen Ran suddenly lost all her strength, sitting on the ground with the two children in her arms, crying out, "Uncle! You finally came!
If you hadn’t come, my heart..."
The team leader was startled by Wen Ran’s outburst and hurried over, "What’s happened? Are you hurt?"
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao came running too, leading the charge.
Mrs. Xiao rushed forward, hugging Wen Ran, worried, "Ranran, are you alright? Sweetheart, are you hurt anywhere?"
Wen Ran mumbled, "I’m not hurt, just tired."
"Oh dear," Mrs. Xiao helped Wen Ran up, supporting her as they walked toward the cave.
At this point, Wen Ran belatedly realized.
Although the team leader had brought people, they could only wander at the cave entrance.
As for the cave?
Funny, no way to get in.
The wolf pack diligently surrounded the entrance. As long as you didn’t try to get in, everything was peaceful.
If you dared to try...
Sorry.
Peace pauses, I’ll bare my teeth first.
If intimidation didn’t work, the boys would use their fangs.
Whoever gets bitten is out of luck.
"Take a rest," Mrs. Xiao’s heart ached for Wen Ran, "You’re something else, always rushing to do things instead of waiting for others.
You’ve only been sent to the countryside for less than a year, haven’t you? How many people have you saved already?"
Mrs. Xiao rambled on, settling Wen Ran down and starting to shower her with care.
Everyone else: "..."
How should we put this?
Before meeting Wen Ran, the Xiao family’s daughter-in-law, Song Shilan, seemed pretty normal.
After meeting Wen Ran, Song Shilan’s brain seemed to become more of a decoration.
When you worry about her, have you thought about us?
Who was it that got scared witless by the wolves’ bared teeth?
As for those tied-up kidnappers, they were bewildered, unsure of what to say.
Why are you playing weak now?
Weren’t you the one who jump-kicked fiercely?
And still calling yourself Big Ox!
Darn cunning woman!
Had us running in circles!
Qiuyue and Mao Dan were equally baffled.
When Fairy Sister carried them, she was brisk and energetic.
Not even a single breath.
How come now...
She seemed too weak to even walk without support?
The young children had no idea what it meant to act; they just thought they were too heavy and had tired Wen Ran out.
Qiuyue and Mao Dan felt very guilty.
The little purple sable, with its big eyes, followed all the way and was now perched on a nearby tree, observing the camp.
With Wen Ran and the head wolf serving as passes.
The team leader finally managed to gather the children into his arms, checking each one’s condition.
Thankfully, besides some scrapes from wandering in the mountains, there were no other injuries.
It proved that the kidnappers hadn’t been cruel enough to torture the children.
Of course, while the children might be resilient in normal times, they were useless in emergencies.
Their feet were covered in blisters, both water and blood blisters.
No one cared before, but now the caring adults had arrived.
With the adults’ sighs, although these people were strangers to the children.
They slowly opened up, sobbing softly.
Feeling the adult’s comforting intentions, the soft sobs turned into loud wails.
Wen Ran sighed, and Mrs. Xiao looked at Wen Ran’s little handsome face, liking her more the more she looked.
She hugged her, smacking her little cheek with a couple of kisses.
Not minding that Wen Ran had been rummaging through the forest all day, getting dirty.
Her smile was so wide her eyes became slits, "Oh my dear girl, so capable! You’ve brought pride to Auntie." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Wen Ran was dumbfounded by the sudden affection.
"Auntie?"
"Yes," Mrs. Xiao thought Wen Ran wanted more kisses, so she planted two more on her left cheek.
Wen Ran got used to it.
Even cheerfully requested, "Don’t forget the forehead too."
"Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"
