Chapter 92: Chapter 92: What Are You All Looking At

“These wolves look weird, it’s like they’re not here for food, more like they’re searching for something?”

Qi Dafu couldn’t help but scratch his head, muttering a few words to himself.

Qi Quanjin was not far from Qi Dafu, heard this, and suddenly realized something, quickly turned around to search.

“Fourth brother, what are you looking for?”

Seeing his fourth brother, Qi Dafu couldn’t help but ask: “Don’t worry, second brother is leading people to protect the villagers!”

Qi Quanjin waved his hand, said nothing, and walked straight towards his wife.

“Brother Jin?”

Yi Meng didn’t expect Qi Quanjin to suddenly find her, very puzzled: “Brother Jin, I won’t leave you!”

Yi Meng thought Qi Quanjin was here to persuade her to escape to the other side of the creek like the villagers.

Qi Quanjin shook his head, pulled his wife’s wrist and walked aside, a little further from the others, and then whispered: “Wife, I think these wolves might be targeting Manbao. I want to hold Manbao and see if I can lure the wolves away.”

“What?”

Yi Meng could hardly believe her ears.

Qi Quanjin was so anxious he was scratching his ears, like an incomplete evolution of a monkey: “Wife, listen to me, I can definitely protect our daughter. But, but you have to help me get her from mother.”

“Wait, Brother Jin, how can you have such a thought? Manbao is only four years old, you, you…”

Yi Meng didn’t know how to respond to him.

It’s such a dangerous idea, he really dares to think it!

Qi Quanjin glanced at the pack of wolves standing still. Even though they hadn’t moved forward, he still felt uneasy.

“Wife, I’ll be honest with you! Last time when we were surrounded by wolves in the cave, it wasn’t actually me throwing bear dung that scared them away, it was our daughter’s shout that did it.”

Qi Quanjin hurriedly said.

Yi Meng frowned after hearing that: “I know about that. But mother said we mustn’t spread it.”

Pausing for a moment, Yi Meng suddenly realized: “You don’t intend to have Manbao shout again, do you?”

“Well, it’s not like we can’t try.”

Qi Quanjin spoke without confidence.

In the face of danger, it should be the men who step forward, but now they have to rely on a four-year-old girl. This really made him want to bury his face in the ground.

Yi Meng burst out laughing in anger: “Qi Quanjin, you really are something!”

After speaking, Yi Meng turned and walked away.

Qi Quanjin called out twice, seeing that his wife had no intention of stopping, he could only walk back towards the fire pit dejectedly.

But as he approached the vigilant villagers guarding against wolf attacks, he quickly regained his stern composure.

Even though Yi Meng despised Qi Quanjin’s idea, she was also having second thoughts and instinctively went to her mother-in-law.

“Achoo!”

“Achoo!”

Mrs. Qi was still sneezing, and the other children were too.

Even Qi Manman, wrapped in blankets, was sneezing from time to time.

Yi Meng’s face changed color noticeably at the sounds, she hurriedly reached out to feel Mrs. Qi’s forehead.

Fever!

Now this was bad!

At this moment, Yi Meng really wanted to gather her family into her space, but before she could do anything, she heard Qi Manman weakly shout: “Mom, Manbao’s cold, Manbao wants to warm by the fire.”

Mrs. Qi also noticed her granddaughter’s unusual behavior.

After sneezing several times, she felt dizzy, and if it weren’t for the old man next to her propping her up, she feared she might collapse.

But she couldn’t collapse now; there was a pack of wolves ahead, and her granddaughter in her arms. If she fell, what would happen to her granddaughter?

“What’s wrong with Manbao?”

Mrs. Qi hurriedly felt Qi Manman’s forehead.

The little girl’s forehead was also burning hot, causing Mrs. Qi to burst into tears: “Granny’s useless, granny didn’t protect Manbao!”

“Mom, there’s no point in saying that now.”

Yi Meng’s heart was breaking: “Let’s move forward a bit! Anyway, all the villagers have run away, let’s go warm up by the fire, even if we do get fed to the wolves, at least we can be warm first.”

With Yi Meng’s words, everyone maintained their previous formation, holding onto each other and walking forward together.

Yi Meng took Qi Manman in her arms and was the first to reach the fire wall.

The fire was burning vigorously, the crackling sound particularly pleasant.

“Wife, what’s wrong with Manbao?”

Noticing the situation, Qi Quanjin quickly joined them.

Yi Meng said: “Caught a cold and has a fever. Not just Manbao, mom and the other kids also have fevers.”

“Brother Jin, quickly bring the blankets and whatever else from the house, let’s wrap everyone up for now!”

Even Yi Meng now felt an urge to just lay down.

Since the wolves weren’t attacking, the standoff continued. Why keep the atmosphere so tense?

Why not relax a bit, and if something does happen, she could just haul everyone into her space!

With this thought, Yi Meng truly relaxed.

Qi Quanjin gathered all their blankets and quilts, no need to divide, the adults took the initiative to wrap the children and didn’t forget to cover the in-laws, too.

Yin Cheng initially thought they were about to contend against the wild wolves. Who would have thought the scene would evolve to what it was now?

His years of experience as a doctor quickly led him to notice the unusual signs in Mrs. Qi and the children. He hurried to check their pulses.

Qin Minglang also stayed busy, assisting as well.

With two doctors present, everyone gradually settled down.

Just, try not to look at the wolves by the fire pit.

“Fourth Brother, the wolves are gathering!”

Qi Quanli’s sudden exclamation startled everyone.

Qi Quanjin quickly stood up, viewing the wolves across the fire. Indeed, he saw the formerly scattered wolves converge towards the center but still showing no signs of advancing.

Mrs. Qi took a pill.

The antipyretic pill was taken from Yin Cheng’s medicine cabinet; due to needing honey and other materials for making, its production was costly and troublesome, hence, not much in stock.

But now, Yin Cheng couldn’t care less about that.

People were about to be fed to wolves, so what use was there in keeping these pills?

The pills’ effects weren’t immediate, but between the blankets, the fire, and hydration, Mrs. Qi felt a bit more spirited than before.

Realizing she was leaning against the old man, Mrs. Qi felt slightly embarrassed but still whispered: “Old man, Manbao said those wolves just came for water, after drinking, they’ll leave.”

“What? Wh-when did she say that?”

Qi Zheng was startled.

Seeing everyone’s attention drawn, Mrs. Qi felt even more self-conscious. She straightened up a bit and said: “What are you all looking at, quickly give the child medicine!”

Seeing everyone bow their heads again, Mrs. Qi quietly told Qi Zheng: “Just now, if it weren’t for wanting to ask that, the child and I wouldn’t have been pushed into the water.”
