Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 234. Facing the Challenge
Bai Suihe sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking around at the surrounding mountains. All around was a vast expanse of white, and there was no sign of any wolves.
“Mommy, don’t be nervous,” the baby comforted, “Daddy and I will protect you.”

Bai Suihe stroked her belly, "Mother will protect you too. Mother isn't nervous, I just want to see what this pack of wolves looks like."

“Wolves are just like wolves,” the baby said, somewhat puzzled. “Mommy will see them soon; they’re already moving.”

Even without the baby saying anything, Bai Suihe could already see many dark figures appearing on the distant mountain, standing out conspicuously against the snow-capped peaks.

Those guarding outside saw it too. Yunni licked his lips excitedly and said to his brothers, "I've faced countless enemies in my life, but this is the first time I've dealt with these animals. Wait a minute, brothers, don't try to take them from me."

"Brother Yun, what do you mean by 'don't fight with you for so many'? How about we have a contest and see who can beat more?"

"That's a good idea," said one wolf. "With dozens of wolves and so many people here, they'll be easy to handle."

"Don't be careless, everyone," said Liu, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), and his men had encountered these things many times. "Don't underestimate them just because they are livestock. They like to attack the face and neck, and their teeth are very powerful. They can bite our necks off in one bite."

If they really target you or pounce on you, they will kill you with a single blow.

Fearing they might not take it seriously, Chief Escort Xu quickly chimed in, "Brother Liu is right. They have a wolf king to command them, so they do have some tactics. Moreover, they are very agile, and you could get injured if you're careless. You'd better form a small group of several people, look after each other, and try not to get separated."

Although Yunni was highly skilled in martial arts, he knew that the two镖头 (bodyguards) were sharing their experience. He immediately told his brothers to be careful and pair up in twos and threes. "Everyone, don't forget to protect Madam Gu and try not to stray too far from this carriage."

Gu Kaiyuan, along with Lin Hua and Lin Wei, personally guarded the carriage. At this moment, he also bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I will definitely repay you handsomely when we arrive in Lingnan safely."

“No problem, this is what we should have done,” Yunni said, cupping his hands in greeting. “Don’t worry, with so many layers of protection, those wolves will never return.”

Liu Pingkang, standing to the side, looked on with some envy, but he also knew the importance of the matter. At this moment, it would be unrealistic to ask the two escort agencies and the people Gu Kaiyuan had invited to come and protect everyone.

He didn't think so, but someone in the group spoke up, "Lord Liu, look at all those people over there, and they all have weapons. Why don't we join them?"

This way, there's strength in numbers, which can intimidate the wolves, and maybe they'll realize they won't get the better of them and leave.

"Yes, sir, with only you few guarding this place, what will we do if the wolves break in?"

Someone started it, and the selfishness of human nature was revealed at this moment. Who wouldn't want someone to rush to the front in times of crisis? Those burly men over there were everyone's hope.

“Don’t push your luck,” Liu Pingkang said, pointing ahead. “The wolf pack came from their direction. They’ve already blocked them for us. Can’t you even handle a few that slipped through the net?”

"It's not about being safer..."

The Gu family members mixed in also looked ahead with envy. Now that all the torches were lit, they could see that the Bai family's oxcart was being tightly protected in the middle.

Gu Kaichen held a stick in his hand, his legs trembling slightly. "Dad, why don't we go to the third brother's place? We're all family, he can't just not help us."

Gu Baijiang looked around. “How do we get there now? Didn’t you see that the wolf pack on the mountain has disappeared? That means they’re almost there. If you don’t get there by now, you might be pounced on.”

It's just the three of us here, father and sons. We don't care about anything else, but we must guard this place.

Gu Baijiang isn't fearless, but he can't back down now, otherwise the entire Gu family will be powerless.

Although he was a scholar, he knew that morale couldn't be disrupted before a march. "Dad, why don't you go into the carriage too? Kaichen and I will guard here." Gu Kaiping held up the stick in his hand, looking left and right. He felt that the kitchen knife in his father's hand would definitely make him feel safer.

"Big brother, have you forgotten what that official said?" Gu Kaichen protested. If the old man is allowed into the carriage now, can the two brothers really protect him?

But he didn't notice that Gu Baijiang's gaze towards him had become even colder.

"Alright, that's enough of this. Watch your surroundings," Gu Baijiang said, no longer wanting to talk to these two. If they continued, he would definitely drop his things and run to hide in the carriage.

The wolves on the mountain arrived before everyone's eyes, just when they thought they weren't ready.

Looking at the majestic and strong wolves, even Liu the镖头 and his men trembled. It seemed that the wolf pack had lived a good life on the mountain before, and each of them was well-fed and strong, which made things even more difficult.

"Woo..."

As if a signal had been given, the wolves began to scatter, and they were now surrounded.

"With such large wolves and so many of them, we're doomed."

The women hiding in the carriage were the first to break down, some even starting to sob.

Liu Pingkang frowned, somewhat impatient. Even at this point, there were still people dragging their feet.

If crying could solve the problem, why would so many people be protecting them from the outside?

The ones who should be truly afraid are those facing the wolves, not those hiding behind and crying.

"Stop crying, or the wolf will come and carry you away," Guo Baozhu said, his hand gripping the knife sweating. No one knew what he was saying, but after he finished speaking, he nervously stared ahead.

However, this was a lucky accident. The crying and whimpering seemed to have been paused and disappeared completely.

"You're the one who has a way with things," the guy next to me praised. "It's terrifying when so many women cry. I'm afraid we'll be driven crazy by them before the wolves even get to us."

In my opinion, the leader shouldn't have let these people hide in the carriages; he should have made them come out with sticks and confront the situation.

"Come on, what can these people handle? They're lucky if they don't make things worse."

The two guards at the front, each wielding a large machete, were confronting the pack of wolves.

Both sides are playing a game of "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

It was soon discovered that these wolves seemed to be afraid of fire, avoiding any place with a fire.

"Aren't they afraid of fire? Let's use fire to attack them."
