“Awu, what are you doing? Let’s go!” Village Chief Li shouted at Awu, who was squatting on the edge of the hill.

Awu answered back, he thought it’s impossible for Hu Feng and Bai Zhi to fall on the hill. He must only be thinking too much.

Awu followed behind everyone and returned to the village. But his heart still couldn’t calm down.

“Awu, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look quite right on the road.” Village Chief Li said while giving back the cloth towel to his wife.

Awu didn’t want to hide his suspicious to Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li tried hard to recall the situation at that time and said: “That hillside, right, that hillside is called Cotton Hillside. There are many cotton trees down there, so people called it Cotton Hillside. You’re saying they might have fallen in there?”

Awu nodded his head: “I’m not sure, but I always feel that there is such a possibility.”

Village Chief Li said: “That Cotton Hillside is not shallow. There are dozens of feet distance down there. If people fall in there, people will die!”

Awu shook his head: “No, no, Hu Feng’s martial arts is good. They’ll be fine.”

Village Chief Li thought for a moment and busily said, “I know a way to go down there. Why don’t you go and see? Don’t tell Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan about it for the meantime, as to not make them worry.”

Awu nodded his head quickly: “That’s great, I was planning to go in there.”

Village Chief Li said the road to Awu. He also let him bring a machete to defend himself on the road.

Awu wanted to say no, but he was afraid to make Village Chief Li worried. He took a machete and torch and then left the Huangtou Village.

The sky gradually became bright, the bonfire finally extinguished. Bai Zhi and Hu Feng have many dewdrops on their head, and their clothes were half-dry.

The two snuggled together, perhaps because it was too cold, Bai Zhi kept shrinking into Hu Feng’s arms. Hu Feng’s face looked very bad. His face was ridiculously red in color. His eyes were tightly closed. His eyebrows were tightly knitted.

Awu lost his torch and walked through the wild ravine without fire. As he walked, he heard some unusual sounds, which seemed to be a whimper of a wild beast.

He pulled out the machete from his waist and moved a few steps forward and saw a scene that made him feel stunned in fright.

The three big wolves with sharp teeth were approaching the sleeping Bai Zhi and Hu Feng. They slowly walked step by step. They seemed to be on guard against the sudden awakening of human beings. They intend to kill their prey with the fastest and shortest time.

The wolf in the front jumped up and opened his mouth with sharp teeth to bite Bai Zhi’s slender white neck.

Without a second thought, Awu subconsciously threw the machete in his hand. The machete accurately hit the target and cut off the wolf’s neck.

The wolf screamed and fell, but it was enough to wake the two.

Hu Feng woke up when the machete hit the wolf. He saw the machete cut off the wolf’s neck by two-thirds.

His eyes quickly swept to the person who threw the machete.

Just as he expected, Awu knows martial arts, and his martial art skills were not bad. The reason why he’s pretending to be ignorant in martial arts must be an unspeakable secret.

Bai Zhi also woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw two fierce wolves in front of her. She was scared but didn’t fail to react quickly. She grabbed the stone next to her and throw it to the wolves.

When their companion died, the other wolves got extremely angry. The other one got more furious when someone throws a stone on them. It rushed toward Bai Zhi with mouth wide opened.
