If it were any other wolf, Ye Hui would have been scared, but knowing his secret, she patted his back and laughed: “Don’t like female wolves, huh? How about I find you a pretty female dog? Or maybe a Tibetan Mastiff? We’ll have a wedding ceremony, send you to the bridal chamber, and a few months later, you’ll have a litter of Tibetan Mastiff and wolf puppies. Then you’ll have a family and won’t have lived in vain.”
Moki, hearing her master’s increasingly inappropriate remarks, said helplessly: “Mistress!”
Black Wolf’s ink-colored eyes suddenly became as cold as a midwinter day. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit Ye Hui’s left hand.
She was startled but quickly realized he was biting without force, not even causing pain.
“Let go of the mistress!” Moki was shocked and raised a feather duster to strike Black Wolf’s back.
“Don’t hit him,” Ye Hui stopped Moki with her right hand. She saw Black Wolf’s eyes become gentle, releasing her hand and licking it a few times before pushing the carriage door open and leaping out.
The Great Wu Mountain spans hundreds of miles, with high and steep terrain. Sitting in the carriage was too bumpy, so Ye Hui had to walk, though her husbands took turns carrying her, so she wouldn’t get too tired.
Unexpectedly, on the second day of entering the mountain, the weather turned bad, with several days of heavy rain destroying the roads and trapping everyone in the mountains.
On the fourth day, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the sun came out to shine on the earth. On the seventh day, the muddy road was almost dried up by the sun. Lao Shi, Lao Shiyi, and Li Weichen crossed the mountain range to find officials to repair the road and transport living supplies.
Because they had been trapped in the mountains for many days, their food was exhausted. Fortunately, the soldiers had some skills and could hunt prey in the forest to fill their stomachs.
Ye Hui lay in the tent, weak with hunger. After sleeping, she constantly dreamed of hamburgers and KFC, waking up occasionally. Opening her eyes, she couldn’t even find a chicken wing, let alone half a bowl of rice porridge.
