9 Encountering a wolf on the return trip

Old man Wang was also a man of action, so he lit the fire without saying a word.

Grandma Wu had no choice but to ask Wu Bo to help.

Mapo held the smooth little bud, and with her rough hands, she painted dots on her body.

Grandma Wu couldn't understand and stayed silent.

Xiao Xiya didn't understand either, but she didn't feel cold, nor did she feel pain when her rough hands scraped her skin. Instead, she felt very comfortable.

It was so comfortable that the little man waved his little hands and feet happily and made a sound from his mouth.

Mapo smiled and started singing.

Grandma Wu and Xiao Xiya still didn't understand, but they felt it was very unusual.

After singing for about three minutes, Mapo bit her finger, drew a circle on Xiya's chest, and made some other things.

The villain lowered his eyes to see, but couldn't see anything.

I just felt something hot in my chest spreading rapidly throughout my body, and disappeared before I had time to feel it.

Grandma Wu saw it clearly, but she couldn't understand it.

Mapo got up and took out a piece of fine cotton cloth that had been stored under the cabinet for who knows how long. She wrapped the small sprouts and handed it to Grandma Wu.

Xiao Xiya spit out two saliva bubbles, turned around and fell asleep.

Mapozi said: "This child is destined to your family. It doesn't matter about blood or family ties. We only determine the cause and effect."

"You save her, protect her, love her, and treat her well, and she will definitely reciprocate."

"You are a kind-hearted person. The children you bring home will all be grateful for your kindness."

"You are covered with the golden light of merit, and the Jin and Wu families will surely have long-lasting blessings for this."

"But all causes and effects can only be achieved if they come from sincerity. Falsehood will only lead to misfortune."

Grandma Wu’s real name was Jin Biyao, and she belonged to the Jin family. They were very famous landlords and rich people in the county and even the state capital.

He can be regarded as the richest man in the country.

The Jin family's defeat was unexpected by everyone.

The Jin family is not an unkind family because of their wealth, and they have countless good deeds.

For this reason, many people lamented the fate of the Jin family and felt a lot of regret and helplessness.

Grandma Wu already trusted Mapozi, and she became even more convinced when she said that Xiya was not from the Wu family.

He said hurriedly: "I will remember Mapo's words firmly and will also warn my family."

"I don't ask for great wealth, and I don't ask for anything in return from my children. I just want my family to be safe and healthy."

Mapo nodded: "Greed is the source of evil, and you are the one who can deal with it."

"This piece of cloth is my thank you gift to the little girl. Thanks to her blessing, the old woman will be able to survive for another two years after she is buried."

Grandma Wu said hurriedly: "How can this be done? You are involved in helping Xiya clear her bad luck. How can I be thanked by you?"

Mapozi said: "You don't understand our business, so you are right to listen to me."

Grandma Wu couldn't say anything else, so she took out the gold ring wrapped in a handkerchief and put it into Mapo's hand: "You are tired. This is our intention. It is not much, so don't dislike it."

Mapo didn't refuse. It was the rule of their profession to take people's money and eliminate disasters for them.

"Okay, I'll take it. It'll be fine from now on. Take this girl and come here for more walks."

Grandma Wu responded with a smile and chatted with Mapo for a while.

After the blanket was done, mother and son didn't waste any time, wrapped up Xiya and went home without stopping.

The road is far and difficult to walk, and it is even more dangerous late and at night.

Mapozi didn't leave anyone behind, told them to be careful, and sent them away.

After Grandma Wu and the others left, Mapo handed the gold ring to Old Man Wang: "I'll go to the commune another day and see if I can exchange it for some food."

Old man Wang put it away silently, and cooked two sweet potatoes on the fire, which was the old couple's ration for the day.

The way home is getting harder and harder.

Grandma Wu's little feet hurt terribly, but she didn't show any signs of it. She just acted instinctively and took much smaller steps.

Wu Bo also suffered from severe leg pain, was cold, hungry and tired, and his face was pale.

They were originally worried that Xiao Xiya would cry when she was hungry.

As a result, the little guy showed no sign of waking up after falling asleep at Mapo's house, which was very worrying.

The mother and son were a little relieved, gritted their teeth, and hurried on at a faster pace.

In winter, the sky gets dark quickly.

Not long after the mother and son came out of Dawang Production Brigade, the sky became dark.

Under the snowy light, the mountain road is bright and dark, making it even harder to walk than in the daytime.

The mother and son supported each other and gritted their teeth to move forward.

When Xiya was in her father's arms, she could hear her father's violent heartbeat and tilted her head in confusion.

The system master had no choice but to take the initiative and originally wanted to wait for the little host to sign in voluntarily.

But seeing that it was getting dark, the little host didn't even realize he was signing in.

The system manager was dejected and had to take on the heavy responsibility.

"Little host, come and sign in quickly. Your father is so tired. It's okay if we sign and the hot water comes out, don't you think?"

"If it doesn't work out, I'll give you a bottle of milk. You're so pitiful. You haven't eaten all day."

"If that doesn't work, let's just sign a fire stick and use it as a walking stick to prevent your grandma's little feet from wobbling when she walks."

The system guy rambled on and listed a lot of things, all of which were small and worthless.

I don’t blame the system for being censorious. It has limited energy and can only try its best to meet the needs of Xiao Xiya at this stage.

Other things are additional consumption. The system man said that it is an incompetent system and cannot do it.

However, regardless of whether the things it lists are useful or not, Xiao Xiya cannot understand them.

Blinking his ignorant, innocent and cute big eyes, he listened stupidly to what the system was saying.

Well, once you get used to it, it sounds pretty good.

Mr. System...

"Aww..." A wolf howled, causing the three of them to tremble in shock.

Xiao Xiya did not understand the danger, but the system master moved, howling and shouting at the little host, run away, the wolf is coming.

Xiao Xiya...how could she run away?

"Ahhhh..." The wolf is coming, run, run, run.

The villain can't run away by himself, he can only call his father and grandma to run away.

Wu Bo patted Xiya with a pale face: "Xiya is good, don't be afraid. Dad is here and he will protect you. Be good."

As he spoke, he protected Grandma Wu behind him and looked warily at the direction where the wolf howling came from.

Grandma Wu's face was so white that she was annoyed that her legs were so frightened that she couldn't move.

Glancing at Wu Bo's thin back, determination flashed in his eyes: "Bo'er, take Xiya and go quickly to call someone. Mom will stop him here for a while."

Wu Bo turned around helplessly: "Mom, I am not a three-year-old child, why should I say such words to make my son sad."

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and Xiya. The howling of the wolf is a bit far away. Let's leave quickly. Nothing will happen."

Wu Bo wasn't sure if something was wrong. He was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

It was the responsibility on his shoulders that made him pretend to be strong and brave.

Grandma Wu smiled bitterly. Her mind was filled with blanks at the moment, and the thought of such an excuse was already the greatest calmness.

"Bo'er, my mother is old, but you and Xiya are still young..."

"Mom..." Wu Bo interrupted Grandma Wu in a deep voice: "Don't say depressing words, I will not abandon you."

Grandma Wu's nose felt sour: "Okay, if you don't say anything, mother, let's go, go quickly."

Wu Bo wouldn't leave, and Grandma Wu didn't dare to die, so she forced herself to cheer up.

But as soon as they took two steps, they saw a lone wolf jumping out of the forest, staring at them with green eyes.

Wu Bo couldn't help but his teeth chattered. He subconsciously protected Xiya in his arms with one hand and Grandma Wu behind him with the other.
