Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Can a Good Tiger Not Withstand a Pack of Wolves?

They were walking along the road between Stone Town and Lian Family Village.

It was a stretch where there was neither village in front nor store behind.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger, with the howling north wind sounding especially mournful.

Gu Qiaoqiao tightened her scarf and quickened her pace.

The weather was ghastly, far too cold.

She longed to be home, sitting on the warm heated brick bed, eating the sour cabbage-filled dumplings her mother had made – what bliss that would be.

Just then, Qin Yize suddenly stopped beside her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

His demeanor turned sharply intense.

Qin Yize suddenly grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and whispered lowly, “There are wolves ahead…”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s face instantly turned pale, and her heart started to thump wildly.

This area was very close to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.

Wolves often ran over from there.

But that was only hearsay; they had never actually seen one.

“Where are they?” Gu Qiaoqiao was somewhat confused.

Qin Yize pointed toward the northwest, where Gu Qiaoqiao could only see several swiftly moving dark spots.

Were those wolves?

Qin Yize quickly assessed the situation, then grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and bolted toward the nearest shelterbelt of trees.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind was a mess.

Instinctively, she ran forward following Qin Yize.

Running faster than she ever had in her life.

Once they reached the forest, looking back, those dark spots had gotten much bigger.

In the vast wilderness, they had smelled the scent of food, so their running speed had increased significantly.

Qin Yize, pulling Gu Qiaoqiao along, ran to a large poplar tree that had been standing for decades, quickly crouched down, and commanded coldly, “Quick, climb up using me!”

Gu Qiaoqiao had no time to think about anything else.

She stepped on Qin Yize’s body, hugged the trunk, and as Qin Yize stood up firmly, he pushed her boots with a backhand to boost her onto a branch of the poplar.

Qin Yize looked up, watching Gu Qiaoqiao, who was pale and gasping for breath, and said in a deep voice, “Qiaoqiao, don’t be scared, climb higher, it will be safer.”

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated.

Those words seemed faintly familiar.

Don’t be scared…

Her heart pounded fiercely again, and she stared helplessly at the retreating figure as helplessness and despair once again spread through her.

Her hands clenched tightly around the branch until a stabbing pain brought her back to her senses.

She wasn’t afraid!

This time, even without Qin Yize, she wouldn’t be scared!

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly climbed a few more meters upwards, stopping at a safe distance before looking back toward Qin Yize.

She then saw Qin Yize kick down a young poplar tree planted last year and break off several surplus branches.

He then ran in the opposite direction from Gu Qiaoqiao.

All this happened in just a few minutes.

The pack of dark shadows finally converged in front of Qin Yize.

The wolves were at their fiercest, having nearly starved all winter.

Green, unblinking eyes stared fixedly at the dangerous human before them.

They didn’t attack immediately.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart was still racing.

The pack of wolves confronting Qin Yize numbered five.

They say even a good tiger can’t hold off a pack of wolves.

Would he be devoured by them?

Just at that moment, the five wolves simultaneously lunged ferociously at Qin Yize.

Although this human was permeated with danger, she ultimately could not resist the temptation of food.

The wolf is a cunning and cruel animal.

Their target was Qin Yize’s throat.

They were determined to strike accurately in one go.

Gu Qiaoqiao clutched the tree trunk tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

She saw Qin Yize swinging the tree trunk in his hands rapidly, striking several wild wolves that were scattered around.

Then, like a cheetah, Qin Yize struck at the wild wolf closest to him.

Struck with one blow!

The wolf’s leg was broken, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

The scent of blood from the broken leg seemed to make the wolves’ eyes turn greener, and the injured wolf staggered to its feet and lunged at Qin Yize again.

A few moments later, Gu Qiaoqiao finally calmed down.

Qin Yize was indeed brave; although he was far away, she could feel that he had no fear.

However, the wind was growing stronger at this time.

The sky turned even more overcast.

Two wolves had already been beaten by Qin Yize to the point where they could no longer get up.

The remaining three wolves, clearly very smart.

They lunged at Qin Yize from three different directions.

Although repelled by Qin Yize’s tree trunk, Gu Qiaoqiao clearly saw that his coat was torn open.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her hand, swiftly tore off the hair tie that was holding her hair and broke off a tree branch, snapping it into ten-centimeter-long pieces.

She looped the hair tie around her right thumb and index finger, then flipped it, placing the stick on the other side of the rubber band, and a makeshift slingshot, like those used by rural children, was formed.

She took a deep breath, her hand moved with her thought, and as soon as she released her hand, the stick flew toward the eyes of a wolf behind Qin Yize like an arrow released from the bowstrings.

Just like the last time the fruit knife hit the center of the target.

It struck the right eye of the wild wolf accurately.

The force was greater than Gu Qiaoqiao had imagined.

The wolf howled painfully and rolled to one side.

The eyes, that was the wolf’s most vulnerable part.

Gu Qiaoqiao did not hesitate, and shot the second stick towards another wolf’s eye.

Although the wolf was on guard, it could not withstand the stick that flew as swiftly as a sharp sword, striking accurately above the wolf’s right eye once again.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao got into her stride, one stick after another flew swiftly, specifically targeting the wolves’ eyes.

Qin Yize also saw from afar, on the tree branches, Gu Qiaoqiao shooting sticks, not knowing what was launched, all accurately hitting the wolves’ eyes.

Although shocked, there was no time to think deeply as Qin Yize quickly kicked down a wolf, then swung the tree trunk backward, hitting another.

Gu Qiaoqiao then aimed at another wolf’s left eye, just about to shoot again.

But suddenly, the rubber band broke…

At that very moment, the tree trunk in Qin Yize’s hands also knocked another wolf to the ground.

A gust of north wind roared.

The remaining wolves seemed to have given up.

No longer trying to devour Qin Yize, but limping towards the northwest direction.

Suddenly, they disappeared into the vast field.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked into the distance, the two on the snow probably were beaten to death by Qin Yize.

Qin Yize did not relax, carefully observed then headed towards Gu Qiaoqiao’s direction.

Gu Qiaoqiao was still sitting astride on the branch, as the wind blew, her scattered hair was tousled somewhat.

Qin Yize looked up, extended his hand, and softened his voice, “Come down…”

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly slid down the trunk.

Then, reaching a point more than three meters above the ground where there were no more branches to climb, Gu Qiaoqiao got stuck there.

She looked down at Qin Yize.

Qin Yize spoke sternly, “Jump down, I’ll catch you.”
