The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

316 Encountering the Wolves

After doing this, Shen Yijia leaned lazily against Song Jingchen and didn’t want to move. Indeed, it was easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but difficult to go from being extravagant to being frugal.

Mo Yuan cupped her hands expressionlessly. “I’m going to find some prey.”

Shen Yijia looked up. She really did not want to move, so she could only remind him, “Bring Furball along. Be careful.”

“Yes, I’ll go too.” Thirty Thousand happened to hear this when he returned from picking up a pile of dry materials. He asked Song Jingchen for instructions with a red face.

Shen Yijia secretly tugged at Song Jingchen’s sleeve, and he nodded helplessly.

After they left, he said, “You really like watching the show, don’t you?”

Shen Yijia sat up and said seriously, “How can this be called watching a show? There’s a saying about fulfilling someone’s wishes.”

“I’m helping Thirty Thousand make his presence known to Mo Yuan. Then, if Mo Yuan accidentally falls for him, isn’t this just right?”

Most importantly, Mo Yuan’s life was too monotonous. If this continued, when would she be able to get married?

The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched.

Unfortunately, destiny would disappoint Shen Yijia. With Furball as her helper, it did not take long for Mo Yuan to return with three rabbits that had already been processed. Thirty Thousand followed behind her without a word.

It was obvious that they did not even talk. Furball did not come back with them. It had probably gone to look for more food.

Shen Yijia smacked her lips and thought to herself that he was too cowardly. Back then, she had fallen for her beautiful husband the moment she saw him.

While she was thinking about her glorious deeds, Song Jingchen had already taken the wild rabbit and roasted it.

The fragrance of roasted meat slowly spread out and finally pulled Shen Yijia back to reality. She stared at the roasted rabbit meat and gulped. She said, “Hubby, you’re amazing.”

Song Jingchen smiled and exposed her mercilessly. “You won’t be able to eat it so quickly even if you flatter me.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I didn’t.”

Furball also returned after smelling the fragrance.

Under the gazes of the person and the tiger, the meat was finally roasted. Song Jingchen tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shen Yijia. He didn’t forget to remind her, “Be careful not to burn yourself.”

Shen Yijia giggled. She took it and blew on it. She took a big bite and did not forget to give him a thumbs up. “Hubby’s roasted meat is delicious.”

Thirty Thousand looked at the half-eaten rabbit in his hand that had been cut open by Mo Yuan. For the first time, he felt that the meat in his hand no longer smelled good.

Furball, who was lying beside him and enjoying a rabbit alone, looked up at him, as if to say, “Aren’t you eating? If you’re not eating, let me eat it.”

Thirty Thousand was speechless.

Song Jingchen tore off the remaining three legs and placed them aside for Shen Yijia to eat.

Compared to Shen Yijia wolfing down the food, he ate much more elegantly.

It was unknown if they were lucky or not, but just as they finished eating and were about to lean against the tree trunk to rest, it started to rain.

Rain dripped through the gaps in the leaves. Soon, the fire was extinguished.

Song Jingchen took off his coat and covered Shen Yijia’s head. He held her hand and stood up. He said in a low voice, “Look around and see if there’s a cave nearby.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Furball howled softly and turned to run in a direction. The few of them quickly followed.

The cave Furball had found was a distance away from where they were just now. It probably saw it when it was hunting alone.

However, even with the leaves covering them, other than Shen Yijia, who was slightly better, the others were still drenched.

They rekindled the fire, and the originally dark cave lit up. The cave was about the size of a room, and it was obvious that it was naturally formed.

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. She took out a set of clothes from her bag and urged Song Jingchen to change into them.

Song Jingchen didn’t take the clothes. He glanced at Shen Yijia’s clothes that were stuck to her body because she was drenched. He quickly turned his head away and coughed dryly. “You guys change first. I’ll bring Thirty Thousand and bring back some firewood.”

Shen Yijia looked down at her body. She was not very wet. She looked at Mo Yuan again, whose clothes were dripping wet.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Alright, I was too focused on my beautiful husband just now. I’ve sinned.”

After the two of them changed into clean clothes, Song Jingchen and Thirty Thousand weren’t done yet. Instead, they heard wolf howls. The sounds rose and fell. Just from the sound, one could tell that there were many wolves.

Furball also began to howl at the entrance of the cave, as if it wanted to chase the outsider away.

The sound was getting closer and closer. Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the wolves were here to take shelter from the rain?

Thinking that Song Jingchen was still outside, she hurriedly went out to look for him. Fortunately, Song Jingchen returned in time.

“Let’s go in first.” Song Jingchen’s expression was a little solemn.

He had taken a rough look just now and saw no less than twenty wolves gathered.

Song Jingchen threw half of the firewood he had picked up into the fire. The dry firewood sizzled for a while before being lit, and the flames instantly rose higher.

At this moment, the wolves had also arrived at the entrance of the cave. Their green eyes sparkled in the dark night.

Furball stood guard in front of them, its limbs bent. It bared its teeth and looked fiercely at the wolves.

However, the wolves were not afraid of it. They were just afraid of their fire and did not dare to enter, but they had no intention of leaving.

This was the first time Shen Yijia had encountered wolves. There were so many of them. If she sold so much meat, how much could it be exchanged for?

However, she only thought about it. They still had to walk into the mountains, and they couldn’t bring all this meat with them.

“They won’t dare to come in for the time being because of the fire, but…” The firewood obviously wouldn’t last until dawn. Moreover, the space in this cave was limited. “Once the fire gets extinguished, it would be difficult to deal with the wolves,” Song Jingchen said.

Shen Yijia understood what he meant. She blinked and dug around in her pocket, but she found nothing.

Thinking of the wet clothes she had just changed out of, her eyebrows twitched and she quickly took them out. As expected, the medicine bag in her pouch was also wet, and the powder inside was stuck together.

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and threw the medicine bag out angrily, causing the wolves to howl again.

“I’ll lure them away.”

“I’ll lure them away.”

Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand spoke at the same time.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. The two of them could deal with a wolf, but wouldn’t they be giving away their lives if they entered the wolf pack?

It might not be of any use.

Song Jingchen clearly had the same thoughts as Shen Yijia. He said in a low voice, “Stop.”

He glanced at Shen Yijia. “You’re not allowed to go either.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “I haven’t said anything yet.”

Song Jingchen reached out and grabbed the restless people. “When the fire is about to extinguish, I’ll lure them away. You guys leave with Furball first.”

He took out the parchment and pointed out a place. “We’ll meet here then. Let’s rest for now.”

Shen Yijia nodded obediently and carefully remembered that Song Jingchen was talking about the place where they roasted meat.

How could a master take the risk? As a subordinate, he hid behind his master and was protected. Thirty Thousand hurriedly said, “Master, I’ll go with you.”

Song Jingchen said indifferently, “Protect Young Madam.”

Time passed bit by bit. The fire was too small to stop the wolves. They added the last bit of firewood.

Song Jingchen stood up and looked at Shen Yijia. “Be good.”

Shen Yijia blinked and let go of his sleeve. She said worriedly, “Then be careful.”

Song Jingchen rubbed her head and coaxed her softly, “Wait for me in front. I’ll be there soon.”

Shen Yijia nodded obediently.

Song Jingchen stared at her to make sure that Shen Yijia wouldn’t do anything rash before turning around. However, he had just taken a few steps when a gust of wind came from behind.

He dodged and quickly turned to clasp the arm of the attacker.
