As the voices of those people gradually drew closer, Tang Youyou's smile deepened. She casually divided the things in her hand and handed them to the two beside her. Then she began to savor the delicious food in her hand on her own.
As the fragrance grew stronger, those people finally noticed Tang Youyou's figure. They frowned and stared at the meat in the hands of the three. It truly looked, smelled, and tasted wonderful.
Shichu walked towards Tang Youyou first following the commotion.
"Um, Brother Tang, we meet again."
Tang Youyou was sprinkling spices on the food while replying absent - mindedly, "Meet again? Or did you come here following the food or the smell?"
Hearing this, Shichu naturally understood, but he still pretended not to understand and said with a smile,
"Brother Tang, where did you get this snake meat?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou ignored him and didn't respond to Shichu who was speaking.
But Shichu wasn't angry. He just quietly looked at the person in front of him and smiled knowingly.
The people in the distance were naturally envious when they saw the food in their hands.
These people had been targeting Tang Youyou just now, but now they all came up with flattering smiles and said, "Young Master Tang, we were really too impulsive just now and said some unpleasant things. We hope Young Master Tang won't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou laughed and said, "For those who don't matter to me, even if you curse my ancestors, I won't care."
The group was instantly speechless and didn't know how to respond.
But looking at the food in the hands of the three, they were drooling, yet they were too embarrassed to ask for it directly.
Their thoughts were almost written all over their faces, but Tang Youyou still pretended not to understand.
"Since you've said what you wanted to say, please leave. I won't see you off."
After saying that, Tang Youyou didn't forget to call to the people beside her, "What are you two standing there for? Weren't you just complaining about being hungry? Now that the food is in front of you, don't you want to eat it?"
Hearing this, Ye Yue didn't say a word and just picked up the delicious food and started eating. On the other side, Yun Ze gobbled it up, afraid that these people would snatch the food from his hands.
At this point, the people who were originally going to plead for food instantly shut up and stared at the three longingly.
They hadn't had a drop of water all day, let alone eaten anything.
Thinking of this, these people looked at Shichu on one side. The elderly leader said, "Shichu, you're our leader, so you should arrange the food."
Hearing this, Shichu immediately opened his fan, which covered his face, and said innocently, "I don't understand what you mean, sir."
The elderly man still refused to give up and said again, "I think I've made myself clear. Everyone hasn't eaten for a day. It's time to make some preparations..."
Tang Youyou listened to this man's words and secretly scoffed in her heart. But since this man had nothing to do with her, she didn't want to meddle. And Shichu still shook his head.
"I don't know, I don't know, I know nothing!"
Just as his voice fell, Tang Youyou finished the last bit of food. At this moment, she looked into the darkness in the distance.
She got up warily and stared at the grass in the darkness. Several pairs of scarlet eyes began to appear.
These eyes were like...
Just then, a sound came from afar.
Howl~
The howls of wolves echoed one after another. Tang Youyou took out the dagger from her waist and quietly watched the wolves approaching in the distance.
When the wolves finally got closer, Tang Youyou realized that there were more than a dozen wolves, while there were only about twenty of them. They were no match for these beasts.
She saw Yun Ze hiding behind a tree in the distance, afraid of being targeted by the wolves. The rest of the people were so scared that their legs were shaking.
The wolves kept getting closer. Tang Youyou said coldly, "Everyone here, throw all the scented things on you on the ground. Otherwise, if you lose your lives later, don't blame others."
Hearing this, those people immediately threw their sachets and scented herbs into the distance among the wolves. But the wolves remained unmoved. They looked at this group of people as if they were already in their pockets.
After a while, these people had thrown away most of the things on them, but the wolves in front became even more excited.
The wolves' eyes turned even redder and they walked towards the crowd. More than a dozen wolves surrounded the more than twenty people tightly.
Tang Youyou snorted with anger and said, "Who else hasn't thrown away their things? Can't you understand my words?"
Hearing her words, these people instantly got angry. The old man looked terrified and angry and scolded, "Who is so unreasonable? In this situation, are you still going to endanger others' lives?"
"Yes, hurry up and hand over the things. Don't let everyone die because of you!"
After these words were spoken, a person in the crowd walked out tremblingly. Shichu with tears in his eyes said aggrievedly, "This sachet was made by my mother. I can't bear to throw it away. Please don't force me. And even if I throw it out now, these wolves won't leave."
What he said was indeed the truth. It was too late now.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou sighed helplessly. Facing such a person, she was extremely helpless and didn't know what to say.
"Alright, alright. If you want to cry, go somewhere else. Don't cry here and annoy people."
Tang Youyou was straightforward. As soon as this person heard this, he immediately shut up and carefully put on the sachet that he was originally going to throw away.
The wolves showed their fangs. Whoosh! They rushed towards the crowd.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou took out a dried flower from her bosom and a pill. She crushed them together. Then she blew gently at the wolves rushing towards the crowd. The powder in her hand instantly flew towards the wolves.
In an instant, the wolves seemed to go blind. They all retreated, and some of them were completely disoriented.
The leader wolf sensed something was wrong. It howled at the sky again and led the remaining wolves away directly.
Two of the wolves with weaker resistance instantly fell to the ground. They struggled for a moment and then both fainted.
As usual, Tang Youyou picked up a stone and hit the heads of these two old wolves twice. In a short while, the wolves were dead.
"Ye Yue."
Ye Yue, who had been stunned by this scene, immediately came over when he heard Tang Youyou's words. "Master, what are you going to do?"
