Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Li Bowen tightly grasped the flying knife in his hand, his eyes firm and resolute.

He knew that the upcoming battle would determine their survival. However, no matter how great the difficulties and dangers were, he was determined to protect Chen Qiao and never let her suffer the slightest harm.

The car could no longer move forward because two ferocious wolves were waiting for them ahead.

Li Bowen decisively pressed the brakes and stopped the car steadily in the middle of the road.

He jumped out of the car swiftly, then quickly reached out his hand, pressed Chen Qiao's head into the truck bed, and carefully covered her head with a quilt, and whispered: "Wife, close your eyes, cover your ears, and don't make a sound no matter what sound you hear. Wait for me to call you."

Chen Qiao looked at Li Bowen in confusion, her eyes full of concern and worry.

She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what happened?"

Li Bowen tried to appear calm and replied with a smile, "It's okay, I just ran into a few wild dogs. After I kill them, I'll make you a warm dog-skin mattress."

After saying that, he pointed to a place not far behind.

Chen Qiao looked in the direction Li Bowen pointed, and her heartbeat quickened with nervousness. She clearly saw those eyes flashing green light. They were not wild dogs, but wolves, and there were more than one.

He reached out and grabbed Li Bowen: "This is a wolf!"

"It's a wolf, it's fine. If we can't make a dog-skin mattress, we can make one out of wolf skin."

"You can't beat it, let's run!" Chen Qiao said in a trembling voice as she looked at the small lantern that was circling not far away and slowly approaching.

Li Bowen comforted her: "It's okay, just stay here and wrap yourself tightly with the quilt. Don't come out unless I tell you to!"

Fortunately, Chen Qiao was in the truck bed, which was surrounded by iron sheets on all sides, with only the top being empty. She wrapped her body with a thick quilt. Even if she was bitten by the wolf, the quilt was too thick for the wolf to bite through. As long as Chen Qiao was not hurt, Li Bowen didn't care.

With weapons in hand and the determination to fight to the death, Li Bowen didn't care about just a few wolves. Even if he was injured, it would only take Wu Lei giving him a few rabies shots to solve the problem.

After hearing what Li Bowen said, Chen Qiao realized that her presence would only bring more trouble and danger to her husband. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and curled up in the truck bed, trying not to be a burden.

Li Bowen calmly looked around and found a lot of messy grass, fallen leaves and dry branches around him. He quickly walked to the nearby area, gathered them together with his feet, and piled them into two piles in front and behind the tricycle.

Then he took out his lighter and lit the two piles of firewood.

As the fire grew and light came again, Li Bowen's uneasiness eased a little. Now, he could clearly see the wolves wandering not far away.

These wolves were extremely cunning. When Li Bowen was collecting firewood, they approached quietly, but once the flames started, they quickly retreated, keeping a certain distance, making it difficult for Li Bowen to throw his flying knives easily.

In this way, the two sides fell into a stalemate and no one dared to launch an attack easily.

Half an hour passed, and the wolves were still circling around them. Li Bowen couldn't bear it any longer. For one thing, it was cold. It was already the coldest time of the year, with temperatures at night exceeding minus ten degrees Celsius. A light breeze was still blowing in the wilderness, and although he was wearing a thick cotton coat, it was blown through by the wind.

What is more critical is the mental tension. People can easily feel tired when they are in a highly tense state. This cannot go on any longer. After a long time, they will become food for these wolves.

According to Li Bowen's observation, there should be four wolves in this pack. If there were others, they should have come out long ago after such a long time.

After estimating the distance, it was still two miles to the village, and the villagers might not be able to hear me if I shouted.

Let's give it a try and walk towards the village. It doesn't matter if they don't dare to come up before we enter the village, but if they dare to come up, we'll fight them.

He held the flying knife tightly in his hand, released the brake, and said to Chen Qiao in the quilt: "Wife, I'm pushing the cart back, don't come out!"

"Okay, I understand," Chen Qiao's voice replied from under the quilt.

Li Bowen pushed the tricycle forward. The two wolves blocking the front saw him coming and retreated, occasionally making threatening growls.

Less than two hundred meters away, Li Bowen felt the cart suddenly stop. The force that was originally pushing the cart could not move anymore. He knew something was wrong. The wolf behind him must be approaching.

He reacted very quickly. He used his thigh to support the truck bed, released the handlebars with his left hand, pulled out a throwing knife, and blocked his throat with his left hand with the tip of the knife facing outward. This was because he knew that when wild beasts were hunting, they would attack the throat first, especially when the animal turned its head suddenly. It would be troublesome if a wolf bit its neck.

I turned my head and looked back only after I was ready. This actually only happened in a very short period of a few seconds.

Looking back, he saw a wolf standing up with its two paws on the truck bed. Without thinking, Li Bowen threw a flying knife straight at the wolf's chest and neck.

This time Li Bowen used all his strength and the distance was so close. If he couldn't hit the target, then all his training time would have been in vain.

There was a cry of "wow" and the wolf jumped up on the spot. After landing, it ran up the hillside with its tail between its legs.

Before Li Bowen could catch his breath, the other three horses pounced on him.

Li Bowen swung his hands, not caring whether he could hit them or not, and madly threw them at the other three wolves in front of him.

He threw away the four or five knives he had in his hands, and only heard two screams. There was still no movement from the other one. Just as Li Bowen was about to reach behind his back for the flying knives in the dart bag on his waist, he felt a dark shadow rushing towards him, and subconsciously used his arm to block it.

A piercing pain came from his arm, and what he saw was a wild wolf biting his arm tightly, with its cold and ferocious eyes staring at him.

Li Bowen also became anxious. He ignored the pain in his left arm, drew out the flying knife with his right hand, and stabbed the wolf's belly twice.

The wolf loosened its grip due to the pain, but Li Bowen was not willing to let it go. He grabbed the fur on the wolf's neck, exerted force with his legs, and threw the wolf to the ground. He continued to stab it with the dagger in his hand until the wolf became motionless.

He stood up panting and looked around, but the other three had already run away.

Li Bowen didn't care about the scattered flying knives. He threw the dead wolf onto the tricycle, jumped on it quickly, and quickly left this dangerous place with Chen Qiao.

As he rode, he kept an eye on the back to make sure there were no more wolves chasing him.

Finally, they arrived at the village safely.

After entering the village, Li Bowen finally relaxed completely. It was not until he entered his home that he called Chen Qiao who was still hiding in the quilt in the truck bed.

Chen Qiao stuck her head out and saw the wolf rising up, and she screamed in fright.

Li Bowen quickly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, he's dead!"

When Chen Qiao grabbed Li Bowen's arm, she felt something sticky on her hands and her eyes immediately turned red.
