Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 157 - 156

Chapter 157: Chapter 156

At that moment, Yu Xiuxiu’s eyes had not yet fully recovered. Venturing into the mountains now was tantamount to walking towards certain death. Moreover, the back mountains were teeming with venomous snakes and wild beasts, and there Yu Xiuxiu was, a fragile woman venturing into the mountains alone...

Thinking of the consequences, Zhang Xiaoshan felt his scalp tingle. He grabbed a shotgun and hurriedly ran towards the back mountains.

Soon after, he entered the back mountains.

Just as he arrived, Zhang Xiaoshan noticed some traces where weeds had been cut by a sickle.

He quickly followed the traces.

Before long, he was two or three kilometers into the mountains.

"What is that?"

Suddenly, a splash of blood caught Zhang Xiaoshan’s eye.

A green bracelet had fallen among the grass.

"Is this, is this my sister-in-law’s bracelet?"

Upon seeing the bracelet, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately panicked.

The fact that the bracelet was dropped here, along with the presence of blood, meant his sister-in-law might have met with trouble.

"Help, help!"

At this critical moment, while Zhang Xiaoshan was extremely anxious, a cry for help suddenly resounded through the once silent woods.

Instantly, Zhang Xiaoshan recognized it as his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu’s voice.

He ran franticly towards the source of the sound like a madman.

Yu Xiuxiu was now his only family; he certainly could not let his sister-in-law come to harm.

The cries for help grew closer and feebler, clearly signaling that Yu Xiuxiu was at a life or death moment.

...

On a sudden clearing in the woods, a young and beautiful woman was cornered by several ferocious wolves at the edge.

One step forward was a hundred-foot abyss, one step back was the fierce and menacing wolves.

At that moment, Yu Xiuxiu’s already thin clothes were even further torn by the wolves, exposing large patches of her pale skin, on which there were several bloody marks.

She kept waving the sickle in her hand, trying to drive away the wolves.

But the wolves had stumbled upon a delicious meal, how could they possibly back off.

"Howl."

One wolf lunged at Yu Xiuxiu first. Just as she swung her sickle, another wolf rushed towards her.

The wolf slammed into Yu Xiuxiu’s chest, sending her flying, and she dropped her sickle.

Before she could get up, another wolf leaped, opening its bloody jaws wide, trying to bite through her throat in one strike.

These beasts only knew the taste of human flesh, how could they possibly show any mercy?

"It’s over."

"Little Shan, farewell."

Seeing the wolf’s gaping jaws, Yu Xiuxiu was utterly despondent, already resigning herself to an inevitable death.

At this moment, her mind was filled with images of Zhang Xiaoshan.

The two had spent every day together, and especially this time when Zhang Xiaoshan had helped her regain her sight, her heart had unknowingly developed a special affection for him.

"Bang."

Just then, a loud sound echoed through the woods, startling the nearby animals into scattering.

The resigned Yu Xiuxiu opened her eyes in confusion.

The scene before her startled her.

The wolf that had leapt at her, baring its bloody jaws, now lay half a meter away from her, with several gaping holes in its body. Fresh blood gushed from its belly, and although the wolf struggled to get up, it couldn’t completely stand before it fell again, then became motionless.

"Howl, howl..."

Seeing one of their pack members mysteriously killed, the rest of the wolves backed off several steps in panic, each looking around in terror.

"What’s happening?"

Yu Xiuxiu also looked around bewilderedly.

Not far away, the bushes rustled, and a man with his shotgun reloaded came walking out of the woods.

"Little Shan!"

Seeing this man, Yu Xiuxiu, as the eldest sister-in-law, suddenly felt like she saw her dependent, almost like a child crying out in a call.
