Chapter 177: Wild Wolves Appear
Chapter 177: Wild Wolves Appear
"Of course I dare not say a word against you, Lady Yu!
You are the extremely noble concubine!
And I am just an insignificant servant!
But I have the audacity to remind you that we are on our way, not here to accompany His Majesty for a feast, a drink, or a sightseeing trip!"
After Luo Yuxuan finished speaking these words fiercely, he walked straight towards the carriage without looking back.
When Daiyu heard this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She was about to open her mouth to refute him, but when she saw Luo Yuxuan's fearless look.
I couldn't help but change my mind and thought: Never mind, this guy is just a young boy who hasn't even reached adulthood yet, why should I bother with him?
Thinking of this, Daiyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and remained silent.
In the following days, they continued to move forward along the road, sometimes stopping to rest for a while, and sometimes speeding up their pace.
As time went by, the weather became colder and the surroundings became more desolate.
Looking around, it was difficult to see even a single person.
Due to the remote location, there were very few inns they could find to stay along the way.
Most nights, the servants would sit in a circle, tightly wrapped in quilts, and take turns resting under the carriage, while Daiyu would sleep alone in the warm carriage.
As night fell that day, the situation remained the same.
The servants curled up beside the carriage as usual and fell asleep.
Luo Yuxuan casually glanced at the location where everyone was, and thought to himself: This place is rarely visited by people, and with the current cold weather, there is no guarantee that wild beasts will appear and hurt people.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly whispered to the servants on duty beside him: "Everyone should be alert when sleeping, just in case anything unexpected happens."
Luo Yuxuan lay there wrapped in a quilt, silently calculating how many days it would take before he could go back. He thought that he had been out for so long and didn't know how Cai Lian was doing.
Thinking of Cai Lian, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
Around the second half of the night, everything was quiet and all around was dark and peaceful.
He woke up slowly from his deep sleep, got up sleepily and prepared to go to the bathroom.
As he staggered a little further away from the carriage, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes flashing with strange light in the bushes not far away.
Those eyes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness, like two shining gems.
He couldn't help but be startled and rubbed his hazy eyes hard, wondering if it was hallucinations caused by sleepiness.
When he looked again, the eyes seemed to have disappeared.
So he shook his head, muttering that he must be seeing things, then turned around and walked towards the carriage in a daze, lying back in the warm bedding to continue resting.
At this moment, Daiyu in the carriage suddenly felt a stomach churning.
Her brows were furrowed, her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
There was no choice but to put on a thick cotton jacket and get off the car carefully, hoping to breathe some fresh air to relieve the uncomfortable feeling.
For some reason, her stomach had become extremely sensitive and fragile in recent days.
Any improper diet would trigger a severe vomiting reaction, making her miserable.
At this moment, Daiyu endured the discomfort of her body and walked slowly towards an open space not far from the carriage under the faint and hazy moonlight.
She walked to the center of the open space, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked her chest with one hand, trying to calm the waves of nausea that were coming over her.
However, at this moment, in the blink of an eye, a white object half a person's height suddenly pounced towards her like a ghost!
Daiyu was terrified and opened her mouth to scream.
But at this critical moment, there was a loud "bang", followed by a series of crisp gunshots suddenly rang out.
Along with the sudden gunshot, the rapidly shooting bullets accurately hit the unidentified object that pounced on Daiyu, knocking it to the ground.
Daiyu slowly raised her head and saw Luo Yuxuan holding a gun and walking towards her hurriedly.
Luo Yuxuan came to Daiyu's side as fast as the wind, his face full of anxiety, and asked anxiously: "Concubine, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
At this time, Daiyu was already frightened and terrified.
She was squatting there alone, her body trembling with fear, as fragile and helpless as a flower swaying in the wind.
When she heard Luo Yuxuan's familiar and concerned voice, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down a little and she felt relieved in an instant.
Daiyu let out a long breath, trying to keep her voice calm, and said softly, "I...I'm fine. This time, it's really thanks to you for saving me in time, otherwise I might have been eaten by that thing."
I didn't even see what suddenly pounced on me!"
Luo Yuxuan explained seriously, "This is a wild wolf.
This place is rarely visited by people and is where wild animals often appear.
Just now when I got up at night, I felt as if a pair of eerie eyes were peeping at me in the dark, but I just thought it was an illusion at the time.
After lying back in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Later, I saw you, Concubine, standing up and walking towards me as if you were about to vomit. I was thinking of secretly teasing you, but who knew I would accidentally discover that vicious wolf!
After saying that, Luo Yuxuan carefully put the hunting rifle in his hand on his waist, then stretched out his hands to hold up the body of a wild wolf with black and white fur.
Daiyu opened her eyes wide and stared at the wild animal in front of her that she had never seen before, her heart filled with curiosity and fear.
A lady like her, who comes from a prominent family, usually stays at home and rarely goes out. How could she have the opportunity to witness such a ferocious wild animal with her own eyes?
In the past, I had only seen mandarin ducks, peacocks and the like in the Grand View Garden!
"Is this a wild wolf? It's so huge! This is the first time I've seen one!"
Daiyu looked at it and completely lost her breath. And because Luo Yuxuan was beside her, she dared to walk over and see such a thing.
Luo Yuxuan nodded. He suddenly lost his previous arrogance and said to Daiyu with a smile: "Yu Fujin, let's rest for the morning before continuing our journey. You can try my cooking!"
After Luo Yuxuan finished speaking, he looked at the wild wolf beside him with shining eyes, as if he saw the delicious food on the table!
Daiyu looked at him and immediately understood. She said in surprise, "No way, are we going to eat this wild wolf tomorrow?"
"You are so hypocritical. We are now outside Shanhaiguan, where few people come. We are almost out of supplies. How can we return to the capital if we don't save money?
If we get to a place with people, I will take everyone to buy you some food, but for now, let's just eat meat!"
Luo Yuxuan looked at her as if she were an alien species, wondering why the prince loved such a pretentious woman the most?
Daiyu felt that her vomiting had improved a lot after being frightened by that thing.
But now he says he wants to eat wolves...
Oh my God, she ran straight to an open space, which meant she almost vomited out her internal organs!
Luo Yuxuan could only shake his head helplessly, then went back to lie down on the mattress next to the carriage, thinking: She is so pretentious!
