They had been walking in circles in the wilderness. The sky was getting darker and the sky was getting dark. The stars were especially obvious. They were shining on the ink-plate like sky.

Hua Yunshu also felt very tired. His own feet were numb, Su He had become a heavy burden. If there was still a strand of straw left, he would definitely collapse.

"Awoo ~" It was the howl of a wolf.

"I won't just die here, right …" Hua Yunshu's heart almost floated to his throat. He was a dignified seven foot man, he only felt like he was in his twenties. If he died in this wilderness, who knows if he would have a father or a mother.

"Phew — — Phew — Phew —" Su He, who was standing behind Hua Yunshu, had a big heart and was already beginning to fall asleep.

Hua Yunshu heaved a long sigh. What the hell was this girl made of? The situation was already so difficult, was nothing serious?

"Aiyo!" A rock tripped Hua Yunshu and he fell down like a dog eating the mud. Su He who was behind him was also thrown far away.

Ah!" With a blood-curdling screech, Hua Yunshu knew without even thinking that it was Su He.

"Are you going to murder me?" Su He rubbed his head, he had just bumped into a tree, what if he faked a concussion or became a fool?

"I'm a victim too." Hua Yunshu innocently looked at his own ankle which had been cut by some sharp tree branches. It was slightly painful, and there was even blood.

"Are you hurt?" Su He was in a daze, and finally regained some consciousness as he looked at Hua Yunshu who was sitting there.

"It's fine, just a small wound. It's fine." Hua Yunshu stood up, "We need to hurry up, otherwise if there are any wild wolves, we will become beasts' food in a while."

"What?!" Su He looked around warily, "There's a wolf inside?"

"Yes." Hua Yunshu nodded his head, "I called him that just now."

Su He was so afraid that he immediately ran to Hua Yunshu's side, moving very close to him.

"Let's go." Hua Yunshu and Su He walked on both sides, afraid that something terrifying would suddenly appear behind them.

After walking for a while, Su He and Hua Yunshu saw a spot of light in front of them. That bright light was shining like hope, causing Su He and Hua Yunshu to speed up their pace.

When they were almost there, a pair of jade colored eyes stared coldly at the two of them, leisurely appearing in front of them.

"Awoo ~" It was a wolf.

"How could this be?!" Hua Yunshu felt that he must have been a big bad guy before, otherwise he wouldn't be so unlucky.

"How …" "What should we do?" Su He whispered as he watched the wolf pacing back and forth in front of him.

"I don't know either." Hua Yunshu swallowed his saliva, looking at the wolves in front of him that could pounce at him and crush him and Su He at any time, at a loss what to do.

"Roar!" Wolf looked at the two as if they were prey in a pan, his sharp teeth glinting with a cold light, his eyes flashing with killing intent, growling out the hunger that came from his belly.

"What should I do?" Hua Yunshu's hands were drenched with sweat and his back was also drenched in sweat.

"Run?" Su He looked into the wolf's eyes.

"We can't run away." Hua Yunshu protected Su He behind him.

After a period of stalemate, the wolf couldn't hold itself back anymore, so it rubbed its claws together and prepared to pounce.

"Be careful!" As if he could read the wolf's mind, Hua Yunshu stretched out his hand to protect himself.

The wolf pounced, baring its fangs and terrifying jaws.

Just when Su He and Hua Yunshu felt that they were about to die, and that they were about to go see the Emperor of Heaven, a "pa" sound could be heard, followed by a slight whimper from the wolves.

"Woo — woo — woo —"

Hua Yunshu opened his eyes and looked at the wild wolf lying in a pool of blood. A sickle was stuck in its neck, and its eyes were looking at Hua Yunshu.

"Are you alright?" An old man's voice came from the side.

His face was dark, and the wrinkles on his face were the traces of time. His uncle's body was skinny, but he looked very healthy. He walked very quickly, and he didn't look like he was over a hundred years old at all.

"I'm fine." Hua Yunshu shook his head.

The uncle walked forward and picked up the wolf that was lying on the ground. Blood flowed out from the wound.

Hua Yunshu felt that it was a little cruel, so he closed his eyes. He really didn't understand whether the old man in front of him was a friend or foe, and felt that since he had saved him, he definitely wasn't a bad person.

"Do you two have a place to live?" The uncle looked at the two of them.

"Nope." Hua Yunshu said honestly.

"Then come with me." The old man turned and walked straight ahead.

Su He tugged on the corner of Hua Yunshu's clothes: What do we do? Shall we go? "

"Go ahead." Hua Yunshu nodded.

"But …" Su He was still a little hesitant.

"If you don't go, you'll have to feed the wolves in the forest." Hua Yunshu said as he pulled Su He up.

The two of them followed behind the old uncle, who was dragging a wolf in his hands, with blood dripping all over the ground, causing Su He to feel a little scared.

When they arrived at the house, the ray of light they had always thought they were hoping for was coming from the old man's house.

Hua Yunshu began to admire his courage and judgement. If the two of them did not come, he reckoned that he would lose his face after they passed by.

"Where are you guys from?" the old man asked.

"We …" Hua Yunshu was a little stumped, "I don't know either."

"You don't know yourself?" The old man frowned, as if dissatisfied with their reply.

"We don't even know our names." Su He told the truth, "After waking up, I saw the name engraved on the wooden stick I carried, so I decided to call it that."

"Then what's your name?" the old man asked.

"My name is Su He." Su He said.

"My name is Hua Yunshu." Hua Yunshu replied.

"Alright." The old man nodded. "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry!" Su He nodded his head, his stomach had long started growling.

"I still have some dry rations for you to eat." The old uncle got up and walked into the dilapidated kitchen and gave two steamed buns to Su He and Hua Yunshu.

"Thank you!" Su He and Hua Yunshu thanked the old uncle.

"You're welcome. I'm fine here, you guys eat together alive." said the old man.

"Thank you, uncle. Thank you so much." Su He and Hua Yunshu's eyes were filled with tears.
