C167

Once again, the mood on the road was completely different. Because of Mu Ying's company, the scenery along the way seemed to be more interesting than before.

Thinking back, they had squeezed into the narrow carriage and experienced Xue Lian's constant complaints. They had to constantly be wary of getting caught in their tracks. He was in no mood to appreciate the scenery.

And now, he was travelling on the same horse with Mu Ying and Mu Wenwen. They were walking together on the edge of a sword. This was probably the moment where she would be the happiest and most relaxed.

Xue Ruyun's mood was joyful. He fiercely pinched the horse's belly, and quickly ran forward.

"Where are you going?" Mu Ying followed suit and shouted, afraid that something might have happened to her.

"I want to be ahead of the wind." Xue Ruyun's childish nature suddenly rose.

"Let's chase after me first." Mu Sheng was also infected by her and went crazy. With a wave of her whip, she quickly overtook Xue Ruoyun and ran ahead of her.

"Just you wait!" Xue Ruyun shouted and chased after them.

The two of them joked around for a while. Seeing a forest in front of them, the cool breeze blew gently. Only then did they stop their horses and rest.

"Come, drink some water." Mu Sheng unscrewed the kettle and handed it over to Xue Ruyun. He saw that her face was flushed red from the galloping of her horse, and fine beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.

"Thank you." Xue Ruyun took the water and raised his head to drink it.

Seeing how unrestrained she was, Mu Ying started to laugh.

"What is it?" Seeing his strange smile, and using his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Xue Ruoyun asked in confusion.

"Why are you so carefree? You don't have the slightest bit of your little girl's demeanor. You just gulp down water." Mu Ying chuckled.

Sometimes, he really didn't understand her. She had been well-behaved in the palace and looked like a woman from the brothel. But when she was outside, she acted like a person from the martial arts world.

Moreover, she was clearly beautiful, and her heart was filled with courage. What a complicated woman.

"That's me. I'm always restricted by the palace. If you relax even a bit, say that I'm lacking etiquette and have to pretend to be punished. Haha." Xue Ruyun laughed in a carefree manner.

"Now that we are outside this palace, I am completely free of myself." Xue Ruyun tossed his hair back, letting his neck cool down for a bit.

Seeing her like this, although Mu Ying didn't say anything, he couldn't conceal the smile on his face.

"Aren't you the same. On the surface, you look extremely solemn and unsmiling, but in reality … …" Xue Luoyun deliberately stopped his words.

"Why?" Mu Sheng turned around and asked, his face still as cold as ever.

"In fact, it's extremely serious." Xue Ruyun grimaced, then ran away.

"Alright, you dare to tease Ben …" Master, see how I'll take care of you. " Mu Rong Zhan was about to hit Xue Ruoyun.

"Spare me, I don't dare …" Xue Ruyun couldn't escape from Mu Ying's grasp.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now." Mu Sheng pretended to be furious.

This made passersby cast sidelong glances at her. Seeing such a beautiful girl being bullied, they secretly clenched their fists …

He wanted to help.

However, the cold killing intent coming from Mu Ying made them stop in their tracks.

"Stop, stop, stop. Listen, someone is shouting." Xue Ruyun suddenly stopped struggling and listened attentively.

"Trying to lie to me? You don't even have a chance!" Mu Sheng was not fooled.

"Really, if you don't believe me, just listen." As Xue Ruyun spoke, he straightened up. Mu Ying saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so the hand that was holding her loosened a little.

The two of them listened attentively, and indeed, someone in front was crying out for help. The two of them looked at each other, jumped on their horses, and ran in the direction of the voice.

Seeing the dense jungle ahead, Mu Sheng and his horse had no choice but to stop. The two of them looked towards the source of the sound and saw the trees in front trembling. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was getting more and more urgent.

Xue Ruyun looked over and saw an old farmer suddenly escaping from the jungle.

His face was a mess from the thorns, and his clothes were tattered and tattered. He was limping and bleeding profusely. He used his right hand to cover his left arm as if he was seriously injured. Every step he took caused him to grimace in pain.

Even so, he continued to run desperately, screaming for help as he ran. Occasionally, he would turn his head to look behind him.

After the old farmer ran for a while, the trees behind him that were about to stand still suddenly began to move. They started to move even more violently. Mu Yong looked over with wide eyes and saw three hungry wolves running out from the bushes.

Each and every one of them was skinny, and their eyes emitted a dark green light. Their claws were as sharp as barbs, and they pounced forward while baring their teeth.

The leader of the pack, a hungry wolf, leaped into the air and was about to pounce on the old farmer. At this critical moment. With a cold expression, he pulled out his sword, stepped on the back of the horse, and leaped into the air.

The old farmer turned around and saw the hungry wolf pouncing towards him. He staggered and fell to the ground. Seeing that the hungry wolf was about to pounce on his back, the old farmer closed his eyes, thinking that he had lost his life here today.

However, just as the old wolf was about to land on the ground above the old farmer, Mu Sheng suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the old farmer's back before him. He raised his sword and stabbed forward.

The strike was unerring, and it struck the hungry wolf squarely in the throat.

The hungry wolf had never expected this. It let out a howl, and along with the blood spraying out, fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Xue Ruyun took this opportunity to quickly step forward and support the panicked old farmer, retreating back to a safe place.

At this moment, the other two wolves saw the situation, and hesitantly took two steps back. They whimpered in a low voice, making threatening sounds with their throats.

Mu Sheng drew his sword, his body covered in blood. He always loved cleanliness, so he didn't care about the bloodstains on his body. He held his sword up as a precaution against these two wolves.

"Be careful!" At this time, Xue Luoyun suddenly cried out in alarm.

Hearing the cry of alarm, Mu Ying immediately sprung up from the ground, tearing off a corner of his clothes at the back.

Mu Sheng turned his head to look and saw the piece of clothing in the wolf's mouth. He thought to himself, "So dangerous." If it weren't for Xue Ruyun's timely reminder, the only thing that the hungry wolves were likely to bite down on was his own feet.

Originally, Mu Sheng thought that the wolf would bleed to death very quickly after being stabbed to death, so he was fully focused on dealing with the other two wolves. However, he didn't expect that there would be such a fight before the wolf died.

Mu Ying landed and kicked the back of the injured wolf, sending it flying and crashing into a tree trunk.

When the other two wolves saw this situation, they gathered their strength and pounced towards Mu Rong Zhan.

Mu Yong raised his sword and flipped it in the air. As he kicked one of the swords, he raised his sword and stabbed at the other one. The two wolves were very smart, so Mu Ying didn't manage to hit them. They cooperated with each other and attacked from two sides. It was impossible for Mu Ying to defend against all of them.

Seeing this, Xue Ruyun helped the old farmer to a distance and ran over with his sword raised. This time, the two of them had their backs to each other, just enough for each other to defend.

The two of them had strong martial arts skills, so very soon, the hungry wolves were covered in injuries. Seeing this, Mu Hao jumped up and tried to take their lives, but the wolf howled and gave up his attack, instead running into the forest.

Mu Ying wanted to chase after him, but the old farmer limped over and shouted hoarsely, "Come back quickly, don't chase him!"

The wolf had already run far away by the time Mu Ying turned around.

Mu Ying sighed and put away his sword. He walked over to Xue Ruyun with concern. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Xue Ruyun shook his head and quickly paid attention to the old farmer's situation.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Seeing that the old man's face and hands were covered in blood and the wounds on his legs were also covered in mud, Xue Ruoyun hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped them clean.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Thank you, let's go." The old farmer gratefully said a few words before urging them anxiously. He pulled the two of them as if they were afraid of something.

"What's wrong? The wolf has already been driven away. Why must he be so anxious? " Seeing the old farmer's leg still oozing blood, Xue Luoyun asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Miss, you don't know? Just now, there were only three wolves. These wolves are in a group. They were just chased by a few people just now." "Now that these two wolves have gone in to notify us, more will definitely rush out later. We shouldn't stay here any longer, it's better if we leave quickly." The old farmer's words sent chills down his spine.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you're in such a hurry." Xue Ruyun nodded and quickly followed the old farmer.

"That's why I told you not to chase after him. Hurry up and leave."

"How many can there be? I'll take care of them one by one." Mu Sheng, on the other hand, wasn't afraid at all. He was eager to get rid of this danger for the people.

"If we can't, then we can either kill a few wolves or kill a few dozens. Who knows, there might be even more." The old farmer shook his head as he walked.

"Is there really that much?" Xue Moyun's eyes widened. She had never heard of such an exaggerated pack of wolves.

"Of course there are. Because this mountain was originally called the Spirit Mountain, and because there were too many hungry wolves, the people now call it Wolf Mountain. There were groups of wolves everywhere, and they were extremely vicious. Let's not talk so much for now. After talking for a while, the wolf should be catching up. " The old farmer pulled the two of them as he left while jogging.

"I have no way to repay the two of you for saving my life. My home is nearby, if you don't mind, I'll have to ask you to come down for a cup of tea before leaving."

When they reached a fork in the road, the old farmer could not bear to part with them and invited the two of them.

Mu Sheng and Xue Ruyun glanced at each other. Seeing that their old uncle couldn't walk properly, they were worried that something would happen to him. Thus, they decided to send him to the west and send him back home.

The two of them followed him for a short distance. They saw a thatched cottage in front of them. Smoke was rising from the stove. There was a wooden door in front of them. It must be the old farmer's house.

The old farmer led the way and pushed open the door. There were a few thatched cottages inside that were in tatters, but the courtyard inside was still clean.

"Old woman, I'm back." shouted the old farmer, limping into the hut.

After shouting for a while, a hunchbacked old lady with a cane slowly walked out.

Seeing that he was about to reach the steps, the old farmer took a few painful steps forward and held her up.

"Be careful, old woman." The old farmer warned again and again.

"Aiyo, what happened to you?" Seeing that there was something wrong with the old man, the grandma touched his head and then his body with her hand. When she touched his bloody arm, she suddenly retracted her hand.

"You, you actually suffered such heavy injuries!" The old granny exclaimed and began to cough.

"Oh, it's not just a small wound. It looks serious." The old farmer lightly said, comforting the old granny.
