I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Escape

Wolves lived in groups, not to mention that the environment here was so harsh.

In just a few seconds, several small green lanterns lit up in the dark night not far away.

Lin Suisui suppressed the fear and uneasiness in her heart and counted carefully. At this moment, they were facing nine wolves!

Even if the short knife that had just injured the alpha wolf was still in Lu Ze’s hand, it was still dangerous to deal with such a pack of wolves.

They had to think of something!

“You go first.” Lu Ze protected Lin Suisui and slowly retreated while instructing her to leave quickly. The wolf pack was ferocious. Not only would she be of no help if she stayed here, but she would also be in danger and the target of the wolf pack’s attack!

Previously, when he faced enemies in the western region, he had encountered these beasts!

They were cunning and ruthless. As long as they smelled some blood, they would bite them to death! Moreover, this type of beast was also vengeful. He had just injured the alpha wolf, so this grudge wouldn’t end until one party died!

If they didn’t end it here today, these wolves would probably chase after them relentlessly. It would be even more troublesome!

“The wolves are afraid of fire!” Lin Suisui swallowed, but didn’t leave quickly as Lu Ze had requested. Instead, she reached out and snatched the match from Lu Ze’s hand. “I’ll light the fire!”

There were many dead branches in this forest to begin with, so it wasn’t difficult to light them up. Moreover, Lin Suisui wasn’t only lighting them up to scare the wolves, but also to attract the attention of the people in the camp.

As Lin Suisui had expected, the sudden spread of the fire did stop the approaching wolves from continuing forward, but they didn’t give up and move away. It was as if they knew that this forest would burn out sooner or later.

They were very patiently guarding not far away, waiting for the flames to extinguish so that they could swarm forward and give the two humans in front of them a fatal blow!

“This fire can only scare these animals away for the time being. It won’t last long.” Lu Ze protected Lin Suisui and continued to retreat in the direction of the camp. Although he didn’t stop her from continuing to burn the fire, he didn’t place all his hopes on thw flames that might extinguish at any time.

“When we reach the edge of this forest later, run towards the camp quickly!”

Lu Ze had already prepared for the worst outcome. He would send Lin Suisui away first before turning around to fight these beasts to the death!

Lin Suisui naturally didn’t want to leave Lu Ze here alone and escape, but she also knew that staying behind wouldn’t help Lu Ze at all. Instead, she would be the greatest burden!

She gritted her teeth. Just as she was thinking about igniting the remaining saxaul forest and running back to get reinforcements, the arrow shot from the air behind her had already pierced the male wolf closest to her with extreme accuracy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately after, a few more arrows tore through the air and accurately hit the remaining wolves that were unwilling to give up. The remaining wolves naturally understood that the opponent in front of them wasn’t to be trifled with. After a low whimper, the remaining wolves quickly retreated into the desert.

“What are you guys doing here?” Pei Qian held his bow and stopped his horse beside Lin Suisui and Lu Ze. He looked at Lin Suisui, who was tightly protected by Lu Ze because she was too frightened, and then at the man who had just escaped from the wolf’s mouth but didn’t look frightened. He frowned slightly and felt that this scene was a little eye-catching!

“We came to the forest to see if we could find a water source.” Lu Ze’s voice was slightly hoarse, but he answered the question quickly, not giving Pei Qian a chance to make a fuss.

“Is that so? I thought you were trying to escape!” Pei Qian glanced at the two people who were surrounded by the soldiers he had brought over and said arrogantly.

“Sir, you’ve misunderstood. If we really wanted to run, we wouldn’t have left the camp without taking our luggage.” Lu Ze lowered his head and whispered to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian sneered but didn’t continue asking. Instead, he looked at Lu Ze meaningfully. “You’re quite calm. If it were anyone else, they would have peed their pants in fear when facing the wolf pack. It’s rare for the woman in your arms to be able to survive until now.”

“Country bumpkins don’t deserve a compliment. I’ve just seen a lot of them since I was born, so I’ve gained some understanding of them!” Lu Ze patted Lin Sui’s back gently to comfort her as he replied to Pei Qian’s probing.

Pei Qian rode back to the camp. Lu Ze and Lin Suisui also returned to the camp with the soldiers.

Because they had made too much noise, they had just returned to their tents when Mrs. Luo rushed over when she heard the commotion. She said to Lin Suisui with a worried expression, “Why did you guys leave the camp at such a late hour? It’s so dangerous!”

“I saw a forest when I stayed here today. I heard from the old man that if there’s no water in the desert, we can dig along the roots of this forest. We might be able to dig out water.”

I wanted to try my luck with my husband. Who would have thought that we would encounter a wolf pack?”

Lin Suisui replied to Mrs. Luo softly with a look of lingering fear.

Mrs. Luo didn’t suspect anything. As she reached out to help Lin Suisui pat off the dust on her clothes, she carefully stuffed a small clay pot in her sleeve into Lin Suisui’s hand. “There’s not much water, so I can’t give you two too much. Take it first. If we hold on a little longer, we might be able to walk out tomorrow!”

“No, I can’t—”

Lin Suisui didn’t expect Mrs. Luo to secretly send this bottle of water over at such a difficult time. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Luo quickly stopped her. “We’ve been helping each other along the way. If your husband hadn’t protected us when we entered the mountain last time, we would have suffered a huge loss!

Keep it quickly! Don’t let anyone see it!

It’s getting late. We still have to travel tomorrow morning. I won’t disturb your rest anymore. I’ll go back first!”

After Mrs. Luo instructed Lin Suisui, she got up and returned to her tent.

Lin Suisui reached out and touched the small clay pot in her sleeve. For a moment, she felt that this small and exquisite clay pot seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms.

“There’s no need to be troubled. We can just repay this favor in the future.” Lu Ze saw that Lin Suisui was holding the clay pot in her sleeve with a troubled expression, but he didn’t feel as conflicted as she did. Instead, he said gently, “We still have a chance to interact in the future. We can return it.”
