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

Chapter 236. The Train Carriage
Bai Suihe was extremely familiar with these ancient practices. If another unusual phenomenon were to occur at this moment, these ancient people would magnify it infinitely.

With so many scholars present, there were bound to be countless versions of what they meant by auspicious omens or sudden calamities.

It's even possible that those with more cunning minds might use this incident to amplify certain things infinitely.

Mother and daughter are of one mind; the baby knows everything that Bai Suihe is thinking and guessing.

She gently nudged her belly with her hand. "Mother, don't be nervous. I won't take action unless absolutely necessary. Isn't Father here?"

Gu Kaiyuan was overjoyed. His precious daughter had finally trusted him this once. Since she trusted him so much, he, as her father, couldn't let her down too much.

He raised his sword and leaped forward, meeting a wolf charging at the镖师 head-on, piercing it through with a single strike...

Bai Suihe witnessed all of this and immediately turned into a little fangirl, saying, "That move was just so cool."

As for bloodshed, that's nonexistent. It's the law of the jungle now; if they don't kill these wolves, they'll become their food.

With so many wolves facing so many well-prepared people, they obviously had no chance of winning, and were even already showing signs of defeat.

The wolf king on the mountain also saw that the situation was not good. He howled a few times, and the wolf pack retreated to the foot of the mountain, and the battle temporarily stopped.

But the wolves didn't leave, and no one dared to relax.

Those who were injured among them had already lost their minds and began to wail incoherently.

Liu Pingkang ignored them and, carrying his blood-stained knife, went straight to Gu Kaiyuan, asking, "What should we do next? Should we eliminate this threat completely?"

After all, it would take several days to traverse this mountain forest. If they were targeted by these wolves, they wouldn't be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

"How can we prevent future troubles?" Gu Kaiyuan asked, looking at the mountains ahead. "If they enter the forest, who will chase them?"

Liu Pingkang: "...It seems we need to be more vigilant from now on. I wonder how you discovered their whereabouts tonight?"

Gu Kaiyuan certainly wouldn't say that it was his daughter who gave the warning, so he casually said, "When I got up at night, I saw some green light on the mountain, so I asked Yunni and the others. They have more experience than me, as they have been around in the martial arts world."

Yunni, who was not far away, thought, "..." This was a windfall, and Gu Kaiyuan was the employer, so whatever he said was right, and he had to accept it.

He turned to Liu Pingkang and smiled, which was considered an admission of this statement.

Liu Pingkang seemed to agree with this assessment, since it was a pack of wolves, not something a human could do.

“This standoff isn’t going to work. Is there a way to drive them away, or even just let them stay?” Looking at the wolf pack in front of him, Liu Pingkang was more inclined to eliminate them all.

These things hold grudges too much. Since we've crossed paths with them, it's best to eliminate them completely.

He will continue to walk this road in the future, making him an easy target for these livestock to seek revenge.

"There's really nothing we can do for now," said Chief Xu, looking somewhat disheveled. His cotton-padded coat had just been torn by wolf claws, and if it weren't for the thick clothing, it would have bled long ago.

"Make a commotion and scare these wolves away first."

"Why did you make such a commotion?" Liu Pingkang had just finished asking when he saw the bodyguard take out two large bronze gongs from under the carriage, prop them up with a carrying pole, and begin to strike them hard.

The noise produced by such a large gong on this quiet night was considerable. The wolves that had been confronting each other began to stir. With the added noise, the wolf king on the mountain could no longer give commands, and the wolves instantly lost their leader and began to scatter.

That's it, that's the end of it. Everyone found it unbelievable. Why didn't they bring out the two large gongs sooner, since they could have solved the problem?
Those families, especially those whose members were injured, began to glare at this side with resentment.

"Why didn't you bring out the gong sooner? That way, these wolves wouldn't have targeted us."

“You people are so selfish, just watching us get hurt like this.”

"You think you can scare away the wolves with just two gongs?" Liu Pingkang thought these people had really gone stupid from being locked up in the big mansion. If they weren't so noisy, he wouldn't bother with them.

He cracked the whip a few times. "If you don't have any common sense, go back and ask the men in your families. You scholars claim to be well-read, but don't you even understand this simple principle?"

The two镖头 (bodyguards) grinned. "Lord Liu, you may have misunderstood these scholars. All they care about are classical Chinese phrases. They have no interest in the suffering of ordinary people. If we don't scare these wolves, there will be endless harassment. It seems they want to live in fear every day."

Those who spoke up were reprimanded by their families, who then helped the injured person back to receive treatment.

This crisis was now over. Gu Kaiyuan stared at the distant mountain peak, where the wolf king lingered for a long time, suggesting that there might be more to come.

Seeing everyone packing up, Bai Suihe knew the crisis was over. She stroked her belly and found the baby had fallen asleep again. She shook her head with a wry smile, realizing that they, as parents, were too weak, causing their unborn baby so much worry.

The Gu family was safe and sound. During the wolf pack's charge, the three men squeezed into the carriage as quickly as possible, and the wolves were lured away by the people next to them. They managed to escape this ordeal unscathed.

With so many people suddenly crammed into the carriage, everyone was initially too nervous to notice, but once things calmed down outside, they realized that everyone was in the wrong place.

It turned out that out of fear, Liu Yun and Xu Yulan huddled together, protecting the three children and hiding in the innermost part of the carriage, while Xu Shuanghong and her daughter stayed outside.

Just as the wolves charged in, Gu Baijiang jumped into the carriage first. Whether it was a natural reaction or the only option, he squeezed in with Xu Shuanghong.

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen, who came in later, squeezed together with the Fan sisters.

In such a small carriage, people were packed together, and the physical contact was more intimate than ever before.

Gu Kaiping had some reservations, and he didn't think much of the Fan sisters, so he simply turned his back to them.

However, Gu Kaichen took this opportunity to stick close to Fan Meibao, and even took the opportunity to grope her. Fan Meibao dared not speak out in anger and suffered a lot of hidden losses. In addition, she was a girl after all, and her face was already red. She could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Gu Baijiang saw it, and even subtly moved his body to block Xu Shuanghong's view, while also taking the opportunity to have some intimate contact with her.

Xu Shuanghong had ulterior motives, and instead of being disgusted by Gu Baijiang's approach, she even took the initiative to get closer.

Gu Antong was one of the calmer people there, and because of her position, she was able to see everything.

　Dear friends, I wish you a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
