she was pulled by Yulian's wrist and dragged towards the back of the house."What's wrong What's so urgent"Yulian pointed at the back, her expression very excited."Got you! Sister-in-law, got you!""Xi...Hearing this, Zong Ping's joy was almost beyond measure.

This little girl looks alert, but she's actually quite easy to fool.

Is it not easy to be caught on the hook

He frowned and pretended to ponder for a while before reluctantly agreeing.

"Alright, for the sake of silver, I'll push myself a bit more and accompany you on this trip."

"Don't forget what you promised me today."

"And don't tell your older brother that I set this up for you, or I won't go."

Just kidding, if Zong Yu, that troublemaker, knew he was the one playing matchmaker, he'd tear their roof off.

Zong Yulian readily agreed, her heart brimming with excitement.

She waited so many years, and finally got her chance.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone that you brought me here."

She took another look at her clothes. The straw sandals on her feet still had two holes that she hadn't had time to mend.

"Should I just go meet the wealthy young master like this"

"How could they possibly look at me like that"

"Uncle, why don't you go the extra mile and get me a new set of clothes and shoes Let me freshen up a bit, alright"

zongping was getting impatient.

What He hasn't even seen the money yet and you want him to pay for her clothes, shoes, toiletries and makeover

I can't say that directly right now, I'll lure them to the town first and then tell them.

"Alright, alright, let's talk when we get to town."

Zong Yulian nodded and followed him.

She originally planned to go home and change her clothes, but once she got home, wouldn't her elder brother and the rest of the family know about it Her mother and elder brother had always disapproved of her idea of marrying a rich man.

< It's better to not speak ill of someone's family, even if you are married into it; things will likely be difficult anyway. >

She wouldn't agree with that statement at all.

She would rather lie on a bed of gold and silver weeping than live in a humble hut laughing.

When he goes back, his big brother will definitely not let her come out again.

Wait until she has accomplished things on her own, and when she returns triumphantly, no one will be able to say a word against her.

On the other side, Zongyu was searching for Yulian all over the mountain with his younger brother.

Zong Bai looked at the flickering torch, though his heart was filled with anxiety for his sister's safety, he had to remind his elder brother.

"Big brother, the torch is going out."

“Without torches, we can’t stay in the mountains. Yulian knows the mountains are dangerous; she wouldn’t run into them.”

Zong Yu frowned, his ears twitching, hearing a faint, unusual sound.

Even his nose could smell the danger that was approaching.

He had been hunting in the mountains for so many years that he had long cultivated a beastly intuition, especially when facing danger.

In the distance, two patches of emerald green flickered faintly.

His heart sank, he shielded Zong Bai behind him, and drew the knife from his waist.

"It's too late."

Zong Bai was not as capable as his older brother and didn't notice anything surrounding him at all.

What has been delayed

The firelight flickered out faster than he had expected.

Just as the flame died out, he heard his elder brother bellow, “Get down!”

Several wolf howls rang out around him, sending a shiver down his spine and a chill through his body.

"Big brother, it's a wolf pack."

Now the surroundings were pitch black, Zong Yu could only rely on his night vision ability honed over many years of hunting to be vigilant and protect his younger brother.

He can see a little better at night than the average person, but that doesn't mean he can see everything clearly.

You still have to listen with your ears to hear the movements of a pack of wolves.

Although Zong Bai believed in his older brother, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. All he could do was try not to hold his older brother back.

He picked up a thick stick from the ground and clutched it tightly in his hand.

"We're so unlucky, wolf packs rarely show up in this area."

"Could it be that there's nothing even in the deep mountains to eat That they had to expand their hunting range"

The younger brother makes a point. If there isn't even anything to eat in the depths of the mountains, that's really bad news for them.ous"Fang Jinshi stood up with a serious face, “This concerns the country and our people.
