PNB Chapter 21 Crisis
Chapter 21 Crisis
Shu He walked out the door and closed it again. She walked behind the gray wolf and coughed lightly. "Hmm!"
The gray wolf turned around and found Shu He, then immediately turned around and stared at her with bared teeth.
Shu He had recovered well these days, and her strength and speed had recovered a lot. It just so happened that she also wanted to use it to practice her skills.
She hooked her finger at the gray wolf with a provocative smile on her face.
The gray wolf seemed to realize that its dignity was being challenged by humans. It immediately growled angrily and then bent its limbs, preparing to attack.
Shu He tightened his grip on the sickle, a hint of excitement on his face. "Your leather is nice. I can make a pair of warm cotton shoes for Xiao Yi'er."
I don’t know if the gray wolf understood, but it roared angrily and rushed forward suddenly, like an arrow shot from a bow, fast and dangerous, as if it wanted to kill the human who violated its dignity with one claw.
Shu He stood there quietly, the gray wolf's body in her pupils continuously enlarging until her eyes reflected the gray wolf's gray-blue pupils...
Uncle Zhang and the two cooks behind the wooden door noticed that there was no movement outside the door. They all looked puzzled. Could it be that the gray wolf had left on its own?
At this moment, Shu He's voice rang out from outside the door. Zhang Bo's expression tensed up, and he quickly looked at Baili Moqing, "It's Madam He from next door! Sir, should we go out and help?"
"No! You can't open the door!"
As soon as Zhang Bo finished speaking, Nangong Xiyun sternly refused, "That's a big wild wolf outside, a ferocious beast! Nanqi is not here, what if the door is opened and the wolf breaks in? Who will be responsible for my cousin's safety?"
Zhang Bo was anxious, but Nangong Xiyun was right: no one was more important than the young master's safety, not even Lady He next door.
"Open the door."
Although Baili Moqing had lost his inner strength, his ears were still more sensitive than those of ordinary people. He heard everything Shu He said outside.
Thinking of how she killed the bandits a few nights ago, it seemed that killing this wild wolf would not be a difficult task for her.
"Cousin! No way!"
"Master?!"
Uncle Zhang was in a dilemma for a moment. He didn't dare put the young master's safety in danger!
"Open the door!"
Baili Moqing spoke again, his voice unquestionable.
Uncle Zhang had no choice but to open the door as he dared not disobey his order.
However, the scene after opening the door made him feel nervous.
The gray wolf was half the height of a man, and its movements were agile and swift. Its pair of white claws, half a finger long, looked sharp and startling in mid-air, grabbing at Shu He like a hunting knife.
"Mrs. He, be careful!!"
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw a rusty sickle slash across the gray wolf's neck at lightning speed.
Shu He, wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket, had a calm and composed expression, without a trace of panic or fear. However, the cold look in his eyes made him feel afraid.
"Ouch..."
The gray wolf let out a scream and fell directly from mid-air, hitting the ground hard, and whimpering howls continued to come from its broken vents.
Uncle Zhang was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth. "He, Madam He, are you okay?"
Shu He dropped the sickle, his icy expression instantly changing as he gave Uncle Zhang a harmless smile. "Uncle Zhang, I'm fine. Are you okay? Did you get scared?"
"I'm fine." Uncle Zhang shook his head and praised sincerely, "Mrs. He, you're amazing!"
"No, no, it's all luck." Shu He smiled and waved his hands.
"Mom!" Xiao Yier came out from Zhang's yard at this time.
Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Yi'er, his face full of fondness, "Why did Xiao Yi'er come out?"
But unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yier came out of the gate, a white snow wolf jumped out from the corner of the courtyard, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth ferociously, and was about to pounce on Xiao Yier!
"Be careful!" Uncle Zhang was the first to spot the snow wolf and jumped on it, trying to protect Xiao Yi'er. But he was too old and his movements were too slow, and he couldn't match the speed of the nimble snow wolf.
Shu He sensed something was wrong and turned around to see the thrilling scene. She had no time to be afraid and subconsciously rushed towards Xiao Yier, trying to use her back to shield her from danger.
"Mrs. He!!"
"Mrs. He!"
……
"Pfft!"
"Ouch..."
A sound of flesh being torn was heard, followed by the sound of the snow wolf whimpering and twitching.
She looked back and saw that the white snow wolf had fallen behind her. Its snow-white fur was stained red with blood, and a silver dagger was stuck in its throat.
At this time, the handle of the dagger was already stained with blood.
Shu He breathed a sigh of relief, but sweat broke out on his back without him noticing.
Just now, she was really afraid that she couldn't protect Xiao Yi'er! If anything happened to Xiao Yi'er, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
At the door, under Baili Moqing's white cloak, a white and slender hand was placed flat on his knee, and the other side of the cloak slipped to the ground because of the large amplitude of the movement.
His expression was calm, but there was something wrong with his eyes. His pupils were slightly constricted, as if he was frightened.
Shu He picked up Xiao Yi'er, his face full of tension and fear, "Yi'er, are you hurt?"
Xiao Yier shook her head. She had no idea what was going on. But seeing her mother's worried look, she was too afraid to speak.
"Yier, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait for mother in the room?"
Shu He rubbed her hair, touched her little face, and checked her whole body. He was relieved only after making sure that there was no problem.
"Yier just wants to see the big dog..." Yier pinched the corner of her clothes, her face a little nervous and worried. Is her mother angry?
Shu He was still frightened at this moment, regretting why he didn't lock the door when he came out! Next time, he must not make such a mistake again!
"Yier..."
"Brother Immortal! It's Brother Immortal!"
Before Shu He could finish her words, Xiao Yier slipped out of her arms and ran towards Baili Moqing excitedly.
Baili Moqing's eyes showed a bit of tenderness as he looked at the little person running towards him with his two short legs. He looked as funny as a little duck, which was both ridiculous and cute.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and before he noticed, the little guy had already pounced on his knees, with a sweet smile on his face, calling out to him, "Brother Immortal!"
He has always hated being close to the opposite sex, and he doesn't like having too much contact with even children, as he always thinks those children are too noisy.
But why, he couldn't hate the child in front of him? He even felt distressed when he saw her thin and small body.
"Brother Immortal, is it really you? It turns out Yi'er wasn't dreaming!"
Baili Moqing's right hand, which was pressed down, stiffened slightly. He wanted to pull it out, but was afraid of affecting her, so he had to stretch out his left hand and pat her head.
But before his hand could touch Xiao Yier, a red hand shadow came over, pulled Xiao Yier off his legs and threw her aside.
Xiao Yier was caught off guard. Her small body sometimes made it difficult for her to walk steadily, and she was pushed so hard that she fell directly onto the steps in the yard.
A severe pain came over Yier, and she cried so hard, but for some reason, she did not cry out loud. She just looked at Nangong Xiyun with fear on her face.
It was as if, through her, Xiao Yier saw another person.
"Yier!" Shu He was so frightened that his voice became hoarse.
"Where did you come from, little bastard? You have no manners at all! How dare you get close to anyone? Do you want to die?!"
Nangong Xiyun stood beside Baili Moqing's wheelchair, her delicate face full of disgust. She wiped the hand that had touched Yi'er's clothes, as if there was something extremely dirty on it.
Baili Moqing's expression changed, and he didn't even have time to hide the worry on his face. He subconsciously reached out to pull Xiao Yier.
Unfortunately, his body ultimately restricted his behavior.
"Cousin, did that wild kid hurt you? Oh, your clothes are all dirty!" Nangong Xiyun immediately squatted down and tried to wipe off the non-existent dust on Baili Moqing's clothes. In fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him.
Shu He quickly picked up Xiao Yi'er. Before she could ask, she heard Xiao Yi'er's frightened voice trembling in her ears, "Miss, don't hit Yi'er, don't hit mother..."
Her little arms tightly hugged Shu He's neck, tightening constantly, begging for mercy...
Shu He's heart was broken. She had finally managed to make Yi'er temporarily forget the pain of the past few years, but Nangong Xiyun's simple push had sent her back to the shadow of abuse...
“Nangong Xiyun!!”
