After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

While Yuxiu was still guessing all kinds of things in her mind, Cui took out a dark grey sheet from the backpack. This was a pure cotton sheet taken out from Yuxiu's space. It was probably September now, and they were leaning against the fire, so the mother and daughter could cope with it by covering themselves with the sheet.

As the night deepened, everyone was exhausted after days of traveling, and many of them gradually fell asleep. The people from the Yang family left only the eldest and second eldest Yang to keep watch, and the others leaned against each other and closed their eyes.

"Girls, don't worry about your sleep. My husband and his second uncle are watching over him. Don't worry."

Miao said hello to Cui, and then sat together with a few sisters-in-law, wrapped in a tattered blanket, and prepared to rest.

"Thank you for your help, my dear. We should get some rest soon, as we have to travel again tomorrow."

Cui smiled at the Yang family, reached out to hold Yuxiu in her arms, and whispered something in her ear.

"Go to sleep first, my girl. I'll wake you up and let you take my place when I get tired."

It is said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. Although the Yang family seemed okay at this time, they were strangers after all, and they were two weak women, so they always had to be more cautious.

The fire was crackling, Yuxiu leaned in Cui's arms, tightly holding the blood-stained hoe in her hand, and closed her eyes obediently.

Not knowing how long she had slept in a daze, Yuxiu seemed to hear the roar of an animal in the distance. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw silence all around.

The Yang brothers, who agreed to keep watch all night, leaned against each other with half-closed eyes and did not make any movement. Even Cui was nodding off. When she noticed her daughter's movement, she immediately patted her shoulder.

"Sleep a little longer..."

"Host, host, everyone, please be warned. There are wolves coming. There are a large group of them."

Hearing the soft prompt tone of the system, Yuxiu realized that she was not wrong just now, and quickly pushed Cui.

"Mom, get up quickly, there are wolves coming."

"Wolf? Where?"

Cui was startled and immediately grabbed the machete and looked around.

The Yang brothers also woke up and immediately looked around nervously, but did not see any trace of the wolf. They listened carefully and their hearts, which had been lifted up in the air, seemed to be put back down again.

"Are you dreaming, little girl? Go to sleep quickly. The uncles are here. Even if a wolf comes, we can kill it and eat its meat."

Yang Laoda smiled and comforted them, picked up the branches nearby and threw them into the dying fire. Yang Laoer walked around the woods with a hoe in his hand, but found nothing, so he urged everyone to hurry up and take a nap.

The Yang family's fire was a little distance away from the others. When they heard the noise, they got up and searched around. They grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction, added a few more firewood to the fire, and then went back to sleep.

Even if I heard it wrong, the system couldn't have sensed it wrong.

"Mom, can you climb a tree? Let's find a big tree to climb up first."

Yuxiu pulled Cui, who was a little worried, and reached out to take up the quilt that was covering her body.

"My daughter, I will protect you. You go up first."

Seeing her daughter's nervous look, Cui also stood up quickly. Perhaps because she stood up too quickly, she staggered several steps.

"Whether you believe it or not, there are really wolves coming this way, and there are a large group of them."

Yuxiu looked at Boss Yang very seriously and successfully saw a hint of fear in the eyes of the two brothers.

"Everyone hurry up and get up, there's a wolf coming!"

No one knew what was going on, but at this moment, the two Yang brothers chose to believe this thin little girl. They immediately raised their voices and yelled, successfully waving everyone's attention.

"Those who can climb trees should hurry up and climb them. Those who can't climb trees should pick up their weapons and prepare to kill the wolves!"

Everyone in the Yang family became busy. They had an old lady and several children, so climbing trees was definitely not an option. So everyone held up their weapons and surrounded the old and weak.

The others were also a little panicked at this time. Fortunately, there were trees of all sizes everywhere in the forest. Many people quickly climbed up the big trees, and those who brought their families ran over and crowded together with the Yang family, looking at the dark depths of the forest in horror.

"Girl, give me the backpack and you climb the tree first."

Cui took the basket without saying a word, put it on her back, and pushed Yuxiu towards the big tree next to her.

She knew that although Yuxiu had the magic weapon given by her immortal master, she could not show it in front of so many people, so she was very nervous.

"Then I'll pull you up later."

Time was very tight, so Yuxiu didn't say much. She quickly hugged the tree with both hands and climbed to the middle of the tree in a few steps.

"Mom, come quickly!"

She knew that Cui could climb trees because every year before winter, Old Lady Qin would ask the family to go into the back mountain to chop firewood. In order to find something to eat for Yuxiu, Cui and Xu Qinghe would always climb up the tree to pick some fruits for her to eat.

"Just hold on to the tree trunk tightly and Mom will climb up by herself."

Cui was indeed very good at climbing trees. In a few steps, she reached the position in front of Yuxiu. The two of them continued to climb up, and finally the mother and daughter sat on a thick branch and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch..."

In just a moment, a wolf howled from the depths of the forest, followed by the crisp sound of branches being stepped on, and soon, a row of green eyes appeared in the darkness.

"Wolf! The wolf is really coming!"

"Oh my god! Someone come and save me..."

"Don't run around! Make the fire burn brighter! Those beasts are afraid of fire..."

Yuxiu and Cui sat on a tall tree and looked at the people under the tree who were already in chaos. Later, they finally calmed down after being scolded by several men from the Yang family.

"Ouch..."

There was another long wolf howl, as if it was a signal. All the wolves slowly walked out from the darkness. When they were completely exposed to the light of the fire, everyone, including Yuxiu and the others, could not help but take a breath of cold air.

The system had reminded us before that there was a large group, but it didn't say there were more than a hundred.

Yuxiu looked at the dense swarm of wild wolves slowly approaching the crowd, and felt her scalp tingling.

Even more frightened than her were the women in the crowd. Many of them were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak. Not to mention that they couldn't climb trees, even if they knew how to climb trees, they would fall from the trees at this moment.

Cui was also very scared. She hugged the tree trunk tightly with one hand and grabbed Yuxiu's arm with the other hand. She grabbed with such force that Yuxiu's arm felt painful.
