If Xiaobai could find him, he would definitely be able to find his two younger brothers.
Xia Shui was afraid that if they were a second late, something would happen to his two younger brothers.
If anything really happened, he would never forgive himself.
He could only place his hopes on Xiaobai.
w.a.n.g Qiong helped him up. “Everyone is trying their best to find your brothers. We’ll send someone to send you back first.”
Xia Shui refused to go back, nor did he have the face to face his parents.
Unless he could go back with his younger brothers.
He looked at Xiaobai pitifully and begged again, “Lord Wolf G.o.d, please bring me to find them.”
Xiaobai looked at him a few times and suddenly stood up and walked in a direction. They did not follow so he turned to look at Xia Shui, as if to say, “What are you waiting for? Do you still need me to wait for you?”
Xia Shui’s eyes lit up. He wiped his snot and tears and said in surprise, “Thank you, Lord Wolf G.o.d. Thank you, Lord Wolf G.o.d!”
This was the first time the patrolling guards had come into contact with Xiaobai. They were stunned by Xiaobai’s intelligence.
It was no wonder that the locals knelt down when they saw Xiaobai. Wasn’t Xiaobai the legendary Lord Wolf G.o.d who protected the people!
Xiaobai led them to a shortcut. After a while, w.a.n.g Qiong saw a series of flames.
It was probably another wave of patrolmen.
Xia Shui shouted excitedly, “Xia Lin, Xia Qing, are you guys here?”
After a while, two children shouted loudly, “Brother, Brother, Brother!!! We’re here, we’re here!!!”
The moment Xia Shui felt relieved, tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Xiaobai, w.a.n.g Qiong, and the others. “Thank you, Lord Wolf G.o.d. Thank you, Lord.”
The two groups of people met up. Although the three brothers were in a sorry state, they had replenished their strength and were in good spirits.
It was just that Huang Zhong was more unlucky. He stepped on the trap and injured his foot.
He had thought that the night’s mission was over.
Unexpectedly, when the children returned, a few more people went into the mountains to look for them.
The forest was so big that it was easy to get lost even in the day.
It was naturally easier in the middle of the night.
Old Madam Xia had just hugged the children happily for a while when she found out that the children’s father and uncles had not returned. Her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted on the spot.
Huang Zhong’s leg was injured, so they could only rely on Xiaobai.
The three Xia brothers knelt down in unison to Xiaobai and cried bitterly. “Lord Wolf G.o.d, we’ll treat you to roasted chicken. Please help us find Father and the others again!”
Xiaobai raised its head proudly and howled at w.a.n.g Qiong.
w.a.n.g Qiong immediately said, “Follow, follow, follow quickly!”
Everyone immediately felt much more at ease. With Xiaobai around, they would definitely be able to find them soon.
When Bai Wutong heard the news, she shook her head secretly. She shouldn’t have let people who were unfamiliar with the terrain and had poor sense of direction enter the mountain to look for the missing people.
However, it was the first time. It was normal for them to not have any experience.
However, if these people were all separated, not only would Xiaobai be tired, but it would also delay the best time for the others to save the people.
Bai Wutong looked at the other furry animals playing in the courtyard and said to Chu Tianbao, “Let’s go too.”
Chu Tianbao would definitely support what Bai Wutong wanted to do. “Okay.”
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter put on the same fluorescent uniform as Xiaobai. Xiaolv took a look and Bai Wutong picked up the uniform. It was very resistant, so Bai Wutong did not force it.
After all, among these few wolves, only Xiaolv was a pure wild wolf. It was already good enough that it did not bite when it lived in human society with Xiaobai.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao led a group of wolves into the mountain. The commoners said excitedly, “Great Empress, don’t go. It’s too dangerous in the forest.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “There are many of us. It’s fine. We can’t delay further. Goodbye.”
Everyone looked left and right. They wanted to follow, but they were afraid that they would cause trouble for Bai Wutong and the others. They could only shout at their backs, “Bless you, Great Empress!!!”
After entering the forest, the wolves ran all the way, but suddenly stopped and howled excitedly.
When Father Xia and Niu Jun heard the terrifying wolf cries, they immediately had gooseb.u.mps.
Niu Jun trembled. “Don’t tell me we encountered a wolf pack!”
Old Master Xia trembled and said, “That can’t be. Xiaobai is the boss of this place. No other wolves would approach.”
“But, but what if!”
“…” There’s no what if, it’s only death.
“Howl—”
There was another long wolf howl. Father Xia said, “Ignore the wolves. Let’s climb the tree first.”
Niu Jun was about to climb up when a pair of green eyes locked onto him. He was so frightened that he retreated under the tree. “Don’t bite me. Don’t bite me. I still have a family at home.”
He closed his eyes, but the bite he expected did not happen.
Niu Jun slowly opened his eyes. Father Xia held a torch and illuminated a gray wolf in front of him. He made a bold guess. “This is Xiaolv, right!”
“Xiaolv?”
How could Niu Jun know the difference between Xiaolv and a gray wolf? It was fine as long as it did not bite him.
Before he could let down his guard, a dozen flames appeared in the distance.
Father Xia immediately said excitedly, “It’s really Xiaolv. Xiaolv must have brought them to look for us.”
Niu Jun finally heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully to Xiaolv, “Wolf Highness, please wear something next time, okay?” He was almost frightened to death.
A group of people holding flames walked in. Old Master Xia was so excited that he could not even speak. The Great Empress and the Lord had actually come to look for them together!
Niu Jun and Father Xia knelt down. “I’ve troubled the Great Empress.”
Bai Wutong shook her head and said, “Let’s go back first. Your children have been found.”
Old Master Xia choked. “Thank you, Great Empress. Thank you, Prince. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Xiaolv.”
So many people had been thanked, but they were not.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter looked up and expressed their dissatisfaction. “Howl, howl, howl-”
Bai Wutong stroked their furry heads and chuckled. “Thank you too. I will add more drumsticks when we go back.”
Niu Jun clicked his tongue. When the wolves were in the hands of the Great Empress, it was as obedient as a dog.
After finding Father Xia and Niu Jun, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao found two more enthusiastic citizens who were alone. On the way, they even met Xiaobai and w.a.n.g Qiong. They also found a few people.
After counting the people, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Very good, there were no missing people left.
When the news that Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao had entered the mountain to help find someone spread, the commoners stopped sleeping and went to the entrance of the forest to wait.
There were too many people. Gou Houxing had sent an army to manage the order at the last minute and had to prevent more people from running into the mountains again.
When Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared with a group of furry people, the dense crowd of commoners at the edge of the forest stretched as far as the eye could see. When Old Madam Xia saw that Father Xia and her younger sons were safe and sound, tears streamed down her face. She pulled the three children to kneel down. “Long live the Great Empress!”
She was a true good empress for taking the safety of ordinary people to heart.
If they were in trouble, the Great Empress would definitely not give up on them.
The commoners felt the same way and knelt down in unison.. “Long live our emperor!!!”
