Chapter 281

281 A Sour Feeling

“Just now, I found them down the mountain, just outside the door of my courtyard. This has never happened before. What surprised me the most was that they seemed to be very worried about the people in my house, so I asked you this question.”

Mo Ruyue only picked the parts related to this incident. Since she wanted others to be honest with her, she had to show her sincerity first.

“That’s why you assumed that the wolves were coming for me. That’s why you asked me these questions.”

The man in black nodded. He didn’t ask Mo Ruyue why she didn’t think that the wolves were coming for the babies. He believed that Mo Ruyue must have her own way of judging.

!!

“I’ve answered your question. It’s your turn now.”

Mo Ruyue brought the topic back to the original topic.

“I didn’t save them, nor did I help them. Instead, it seems like I was helped by them.”

The black-shirted man then explained what had happened that day in detail, but the answer made Mo Ruyue even more confused.

She had only gained their trust and help after saving the wolves, but this man had never had any contact with the wolves before. Instead, he had been “saved” by the wolves the first time they had met.

Not to mention that the wolves were worried about him and had come down the mountain in groups, deep into the human settlement. This really made her puzzled.

“Lady Qin, did that pack of wolves return to the mountains?”

The man in black asked again.

“Yes, I told them to go back to the mountain for the time being. Although I got some answers from you, I have more doubts now.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. Once again, she felt that it was a pity that she didn’t use the language of beasts. Otherwise, she could have just communicated directly and wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

“If it’s possible, can you let me see your wolf friends?”

The man in black didn’t know why he suddenly asked such a question. When he came back to his senses, the words had already left his mouth.

“Okay, it’s decided then. Before you leave tomorrow, I’ll take you to see them and see what’s going on.”

Mo Ruyue didn’t object. Instead, she readily agreed.

She also wanted to get to the bottom of this matter. After all, she now regarded the wolves as soundless’ friends and did not want anything to happen to them while she was not paying attention.

After the matter had been resolved, Mo Ruyue left the room. Seeing that the babies were still doing their horse stance on the plum blossom dome, she nodded in satisfaction.

Although they were at the age of curiosity, they still had a sense of propriety.

Then, Mo Ruyue left home in a hurry and ran to the back mountain where a pack of giant wolves were waiting for her.

Although many villagers had already chosen to start the cat winter early, there was still the possibility of people suddenly going up the mountain to cut wood or pick up mountain goods.

If the villagers found out that so many wolves had come down the mountain, it would definitely cause a panic.

By then, the authorities would probably be alerted to attack the wolves, which would be troublesome.

Mo Ruyue quickened her pace. As expected, in the dense forest near the end of the village, she found giant wolves standing or lying down. They didn’t even hide their tracks. When they saw Mo Ruyue, they immediately surrounded her.

“You really are…”

Mo Ruyue was already speechless. She had never thought that the giant wolves would take such a risk for that black-clothed man. To be honest, she actually felt a little sour in her heart.

This feeling should be called jealousy, right?

She thought about it and suddenly laughed at herself.

In both her previous and current lives, this was the first time she had experienced the feeling of jealousy, and it was actually because of a pack of wolves. This really made her not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Alright, don’t worry. I’ve already saved that person’s life. He’s recuperating at my house. I’ll bring him to see you tomorrow night.”

Mo Ruyue was still thinking about the most important thing and directly told the wolf pack about her agreement with the black-clothed man.

“Wuwu.”

The black wolf king raised its head repeatedly, showing an extremely excited look. However, it could still be considered depressed. Some of the giant wolves were already jumping up and down, not knowing how to be happy.

After getting Mo Ruyue’s promise, the black wolf king quickly led the wolf pack back into the deep mountains. In the end, no one noticed that a pack of giant wolves had appeared in the village on this cold early winter morning.

The time quickly came to the next night. When Mo Ruyue was changing the black-clothed man’s medicine at noon, she discovered that his most serious knife wound had also begun to close.

There was still some time before the last dressing change at night, but she came to the man’s room in advance.

“I’ll bring you up the mountain tonight. After you meet my wolf friends, leave immediately and never come back.”

She then placed a package that she had brought in next to the man.

“This is a set of clothes I prepared for you, some silver, and some medicine that I specially concocted. It will be very effective in healing your wounds. Also, I hope this will be the last time we meet.”

She wasn’t the kind of person who would think for strangers, but this time, seeing that her wolf friends seemed to value him, she would do something extra.

“Lady Qin.”

The black clothed man only called out to Mo Ruyue once and didn’t say anything else.

“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Mo Ruyue saw that he seemed to have something to say, but for some reason, he had shut his mouth, so she took the initiative to ask.

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to thank you,” The man in black said indifferently, and then closed his eyes again, as if he was resting.

Mo Ruyue clearly saw that he didn’t mean what he said, but since he didn’t want to say it, she didn’t have to ask.

When he heard Mo Ruyue’s door close, he raised his left hand and looked at the tourmaline ring on his thumb, seemingly a little lost in thought.

He had almost given the ring away just now, but before he could finish cleaning up the mess, not only would the ring not bring them wealth, but it would also bring them trouble.

A situation like this, where he had no self-control, was simply fatal to him. Could it be that after resting here for a few days, he had forgotten such an important principle?

The man in black shook his head and put his hand down.

Although there were two big holes in his shoulders, they were almost healed. He still felt weak when he raised his arms, but it was nothing to him.

Just as Lady Qin said, after seeing the pack of giant wolves, he would leave immediately.

The life here was too comfortable, so comfortable that he had forgotten that he was someone who should live in the dark.

If he wanted to see a few more sunrises and find his Mei ‘Er, he shouldn’t let himself go.

After changing the dressing for the last time, the man in black turned over and sat up on the bed.

He had already changed into the new clothes that Mo Ruyue had brought for him. The woman standing in front of him was also dressed in black, which made her figure even taller and more exquisite.
