Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Chapter 59 Dark Waves Surge

"Yaya is waiting for us over there. You'll see her when you get over there."

Ye Chuyi said soothingly, and glanced at the children behind her. It seemed that none of them were missing.

"Is it just you? What about the others?"

"Sister Miao and the others went to the front to help others. There were children and old people from other villages being chased by wolves. There was no man around. Sister Miao and the others couldn't bear to see this and chased after them."

Qing Huan briefly recounted the whole story, and seeing Ye Chuyi's unhappy expression, she quickly added another sentence.

"This is the hiding place that Sister Miao and the others found. We can hide in that small cave, and the wolves basically bypassed us and didn't hurt us."

"Well, do you want to continue waiting here for everyone to go back together, or should I send you back first?"

They didn't know when, but the moonlight shone through the branches, and the darkness in front of their eyes was no longer there.

At the same time, it seemed that the dangers around were reduced a lot.

"Miss, go help Sister Miao and the others. We can wait here. The wolves won't come."

The wolves haven't attacked them yet. They have been gone for so long, they definitely won't come back suddenly.

"Alright."

Ye Chu nodded slightly and took off the hidden arrow on his wrist. "Take this for now. If you encounter any danger, run back. You don't have to wait for me."

"Qing Huan knows, Miss, you should be careful too."

Qinghuan carefully took the small sleeve arrow and led the little kids back into the darkness.

"Qing Huan, Qing Huan, are you all right?"

"Qing Huan——"

Miao Ying's loud voice could be heard from a distance, followed by other people's voices. It sounded somewhat joyful, so there should be no danger.

Ye Chuyi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she didn't need to go.

Miao Ying and the others soon arrived. Behind the dozen girls were countless heads of different ages, and a few sturdy men could be vaguely seen being trapped in the middle.

"What's happening here?"

"Miss."

Miao Ying clasped her fists and kicked the man next to her as if to vent her anger. "These men, not only did they not look after the elderly and children when they fled, but they actually pushed them out to ward off the wolves. They are worse than animals."

Although there are indeed people like this, they would not go to the extent of tying people up casually.

“They also colluded with the bandits.”

As if seeing her confusion, a weak female voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Ye Chuyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pretty face.

To put it without exaggeration, in today's world where technology has enabled beautiful women to abound, this beauty can easily make anyone's heart beat fast.

If the beautiful heroines in ancient novels and TV dramas had prototypes, they would probably look like her.

"Miss, this is Sister Lin." Qinghuan introduced softly behind her.

Ye Chuyi suddenly came back to her senses. Yes, there was indeed a girl named Lin in the team. She had been seriously injured before, and she had never taken a close look at her. She didn't expect that she was such a stunning beauty.

"How did you catch them?"

Just by looking at the faces of these men, you can tell that they are definitely not people that the girls can easily manipulate. They were easily caught and escorted back.

It's so weird.

"We didn't catch it either. We just happened to be lucky enough to get away with it."

Miao Ying scratched her head embarrassedly and explained their situation in a few simple words.

It turned out that when they were on their way to escape, they suddenly saw these men pushing the old, the weak, women and children to block the wolves. She followed them in anger, but unexpectedly saw these men secretly trading with others deep in the woods.

From their conversation, Miao Ying quickly figured out that the other party was the bandits following them, but she didn't know why they couldn't catch up.

Just when she didn't know what to do, a few wolves rushed out from the darkness, knocked the men to the ground in a few seconds, and bit several of them to death.

Miao Ying waited in the dark for a long time, until all the wolves left, then she led the girls to tie up the men.

"Pack up first. We'll deal with everything after we get back."

Ye Chuyi gave a few simple instructions, looked around again, and made sure there was no danger before leading his men back.

Everything that happened tonight was weird, as if he had suddenly moved from an ordinary world to some bizarre fantasy world, and everything seemed unreal.

She always felt that something was missing, but she couldn't remember what it was.

They were busy until the sun came out, and they finally managed to clean up and had some time to rest.

With the help of the system map, Ye Chuyi roughly estimated the number of people still alive and came up with a number that shocked her.

Although there were not many people in the original four villages, there were nearly a hundred people together, young and old. But after the wolf attack that night, there were less than five hundred people left in the team.

This is definitely a shocking number.

They had clearly tried very hard to stop the wolves, but those lives still disappeared silently in the darkness.

"Did you find anything unusual?"

Ye Chuyi simply gathered together a few heads of the family who could make decisions, and tried to find some clues from everyone's words.

"The wolves came so suddenly that we didn't have time to notice anything. God simply didn't allow us to survive."

Zhu Zhengshan sighed deeply, his eyes looking into the distance empty and out of focus.

When he recalled those scenes now, he still felt frightened. Those beasts ran too fast and were too cruel. His old bones were no match for them.

If he had not stayed next to Ye Yatou and the others' camp last night, and if someone had not pulled him back when the wolves pounced on him, his old bones would probably have died.

“Is it possible that someone deliberately attracted the wolves?”

Seeing them remain silent, Ye Chuyi had to express his guess first.

"Impossible!" Miao Ying shook her head firmly. "Wolves are social animals that are very afraid of humans. If they were not extremely hungry, they would not easily approach humans, let alone be deliberately lured here by someone."

She had seen wolf packs before. They would never easily step into human territory. If humans did not provoke them first, they would never easily attack humans.

"What if someone stole their cubs?"

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he pushed the backpack he had been carrying with him in front of a few people.

When she came back, she fed the wolf cubs something and then put them in a backpack and watched them.

I don’t know if it’s because he was full, but he didn’t make a sound and is sleeping soundly now.
