"Mother... Mother..."
Xiaoniu threw himself into Yan Shi’s arms. His cries not only made Yan Shi burst into tears, but also caused An Ning to feel an unbearable heartache.
"My little Xiaoniu, it’s your mother’s fault..." Yan Shi held Xiaoniu tightly in her embrace. For the first ti, she felt a tinge of regret about her firm decision to separate.
Unfortunately, everything was settled, and it was not easy to nd.
An Ning watched Xiaoniu being coaxed into laughter by Yan Shi within monts, and she gently stepped out.
"Sothing’s wrong, sothing happened..." Just as An Ning reached the courtyard, she heard Lu Xiu’s voice coming from outside.
An Ning asked, "Brother Lu, what happened?"
"A pack of wolves ca down from the mountain, and soone died..."
When she heard these words, An Ning’s heart skipped a beat.
"What’s going on? How did soone die?" An Ning had ordered the Silver Wolf to kill Gao Dashu, but everything was supposed to take place in the mountains. The Silver Wolf was intelligent by now; it couldn’t have attacked outside.
Of course, if there really were casualties, it could be the work of other wolf packs. After all, Xiaoyin was only the leader of this pack, not of all the wolves.
The nearby mountains are vast and continuous. Who knows if other packs might erge from the woods?
Lu Xiu said, "Here’s what happened: around noon today, soone heard wolves howling in the mountains. They suspected there were quite a few wolves, but no one dared to check. It wasn’t until the afternoon that the village organized people to investigate and found a human skeleton in the mountains. They don’t know who it belongs to!"
Being skilled in martial arts, Lu Xiu went there as well. But recalling the scene at the ti still made Lu Xiu’s scalp tingle.
At this point, An Ning had already drawn a conclusion in her heart.
Probably the skeleton they found belonged to Gao Dashu.
However, a person like him brought about his own deserved destruction and wasn’t worthy of pity.
"In this area, only our two neighboring villages are here, and there aren’t too many people. To know whose remains these are, just see which household is missing soone," An Ning said.
"The village chief has already sent people to check. It’s just that wolves usually stay deep in the mountains, and it’s unclear why they ca down this ti. Our village is the closest to the mountains, An Ning, please be careful and don’t go out alone for the next few days. If you really need to go out, let Xiaoliu inform , and I’ll protect you," Lu Xiu assured.
An Ning replied, "I understand, I might have to rely on you, Brother Lu."
An Ning felt confident that even if the wolves descended the mountain, she wouldn’t be hard when she went out.
However, she couldn’t help but worry for Xiaoyin at this mont.
Earlier in the year, a disturbance was caused when the wolves descended from the mountain. Now, barely six months later, soone has been killed.
An Ning feared that the people in the village would find ways to exterminate the wolf pack to eliminate future threats. If that happened, whether villagers were hard or wolves were killed, she would feel uneasy.
After Lu Xiu left, An Ning imdiately returned to her room and locked the door.
In her space, An Ning summoned Xiaoyin and sent it out with instructions to lead the wolf pack into the deep mountains to hide.
This ti, in so ways, it was her that implicated them.
However, to prevent harm to both the wolf pack and humans, letting them hide for a while in the deep mountains was the only solution An Ning could think of.
