Chapter 199: Chapter 190 Update 1
Qin Ye had thought his wife would be scared when she heard the wolves, but instead, he detected a hint of excitent in her voice.
Qin Ye: …
Wouldn’t most won tremble at the ntion of such terrifying creatures?
However, he soon rembered that his wife was quite a formidable person, different from others.
“If the wolf cos this way, it will be here quickly; let’s climb a tree first,” she said.
This ti the wolf had really caught him off guard.
Just as he reached out to help his wife get up the tree, he found she didn’t need his help at all.
“… What are you staring at? Co up quickly!” the person in the tree called down to the person below.
Qin Ye: …
Apparently, it wasn’t always n who climbed trees quickly; won could be faster than n too.
“… Alright.”
He was a bit stunned; his wife seed to be good at everything.
Climbing trees was one of his skills, and he was up in a flash.
“Not bad.” Luck is also important; had he not been so unlucky before, with his abilities, his three siblings wouldn’t have had such a miserable life.
Qin Ye received praise from his wife, which excited the young man, his earlobes revealing his excitent… they turned red.
“… My wife is the most capable.”
Rong Yan pointed into the distance, “Stop flattering each other; look over there…”
Although Qin Ye didn’t understand what his wife ant by ‘flattering each other,’ he realized the spot she picked was really good.
The height was sufficient.
Perfect for overlooking the distance.
After he took a good look, his expression changed.
“Seems like there’s more than one.”
Upon hearing his remark, Rong Yan looked carefully, “Wolves live in packs, so there might be more than just these two. Let’s stay in this tree for a while; they probably won’t co this way.”
“Hmm,” Qin Ye responded.
In the past, he would undoubtedly have been the one targeted by the wolves.
Now… he turned to look at the person beside him, his gaze imdiately softening because he had soone who could ward off his bad luck. Perhaps the wolves wouldn’t co their way.
Perhaps noticing Qin Ye’s gaze, Rong Yan asked, “Why are you staring at like that?”
With the terrifying wolves about to arrive in minutes, this guy still had the mind to think about other things… could he be lovesick?
Tsk!
Caught red-handed, Qin Ye’s earlobes turned even redder.
His gaze flickered, “I an… you don’t have to be afraid, they might not co this way. Even if they do, it’s okay; I have a way to drive them off.”
“Oh! Okay.” Scared? That word wasn’t even in her dictionary.
Moreover, it was rare to see wolves in modern tis, although she had indeed seen wolves, the fierce Siberian ones.
But that was a mory from long ago.
Seeing wolves now… she felt a slight thrill.
However, it was better to avoid trouble when possible.
Just two wolves were manageable, but any more would be trouble.
Moreover, wolves are highly vengeful animals. If they killed these two, and the pack traced them by scent, that could spell trouble.
The two of them patiently waited in the tree… When the two wolves passed under their tree, Qin Ye and Rong Yan both tensed noticeably.
No surprise there, since one was a male wolf and the other a pregnant female wolf.
If it really ca to a confrontation… would they kill them or not?
“Either way, the outco wouldn’t have been good.”
They had killed a she-wolf carrying cubs, and they should brace themselves for revenge from the wolf pack of the mountain.
About five more minutes passed, and only after Qin Ye confird it was safe did he finally say to Rong Yan,
“Wife, we can go down now!”
“Okay.”
Qin Ye led the way down, and Rong Yan followed.
“So, what do we do now? Head back?”
“Let’s go back.” Qin Ye didn’t want to encounter any more wolves; he didn’t want to put his wife in danger.
Rong Yan felt it was a sha. They had co all the way to the deep mountain just for a pheasant and so wild vegetables?
“Why don’t we look around a bit more? If we don’t find anything else, we can head down.”
Qin Ye thought about it and nodded in agreent, “Alright.”
This ti, Qin Ye took the lead, with Rong Yan following him.
They walked a little further, but didn’t encounter any more animals.
Looking at the ti, Rong Yan said, “Let’s just go back now!”
“Okay.” Just as Qin Ye agreed and was about to turn around, suddenly sothing tripped him.
Fortunately, he steadied himself in ti and didn’t fall.
He looked down and saw a small pit with sothing in it.
Rong Yan followed his gaze, “What’s that?”
“Wife, don’t move. Let check.”
He squatted down and used his machete to dig twice, revealing a segnt of… a finger bone?
“Is this a human bone?” Rong Yan’s face changed color; she was more familiar with human tissue than Qin Ye. “If I’m not mistaken, it belongs to a woman.”
If she looked more carefully, she could even determine the age from the bone.
Qin Ye hadn’t expected this at all; he imdiately stood up, “Let’s get down the mountain first, then I’ll report this to the police.”
This was a big deal; reporting it seed the best course of action.
Rong Yan agreed with this, “Alright. Rember this place so it will be easier to find when we co back.”
Qin Ye was confident he knew the way.
Neither of them felt like lingering and started heading down the mountain right away.
Halfway down, Rong Yan asked, “Has anyone disappeared from your village? I an a woman.”
“Missing won?” Qin Ye thought seriously for a mont, then shook his head, “I don’t think there’s anyone missing from our village.”
As for other villages… he knew even less. He was busy with his daily work, out early and back late, and his tasks were quite isolated from others, so he barely heard any gossip.
He wasn’t much interested in those.
“That’s fine! The police will investigate everything once we report it.”
Rong Yan asked no further.
Their descent was, of course, much faster than the ascent had been.
Madam Rong was quite surprised when she saw them return, and then she saw Qin Ye pushing his bicycle out.
“Are you going to pick up Yu and ii?”
“No, I’ve got sothing to do in town.” Qin Ye could not stay for a chat and rode away.
“What’s he doing in town? Is it sothing urgent?” It was almost ti for dinner.
“Sothing ca up, Mom. Don’t worry about him. What are we having for dinner?” Rong Yan, wanting to avoid alarming her, swiftly changed the topic.
Madam Rong said, “Qin likes pancakes, so let’s have pancakes for dinner tonight.”
Rong Yan: …
“I like rice too, but you don’t see us having white rice every single al, do you?”
