Chapter 159: Chapter 158 Escape

Gu Youyou replaced the cloth wrap for it, even tying a beautiful bowknot.

Seeing it, Gu Youyou suddenly had an idea, her eyes lighting up.

"You..." She started to speak, then quickly silenced herself, glancing over toward the coffin.

Seeing the man was still standing there in a daze, she mustered up the courage to whisper to the wolf cub, "When that wild man uncle comes in later, run outside as soon as the door is about to close. Do you remember the way home? Run as far as you can, as fast as you can, understand?"

Well... regardless of whether it understood or not, Gu Youyou sighed, picked it up, carried it close to the door, and then set it down.

She crouched down, pointed toward the door, and said, "Remember, wait until it’s about to close before you go out, just squat here and don’t move!"

She wouldn’t be able to escape, but there was still hope for the wolf cub. It had a bowknot made from her own clothes tied around its leg, and if it was lucky enough to encounter Jin Zijin, perhaps she would be saved.

With this thought, excitement was hard to hide on Gu Youyou’s face. She didn’t know if the wolf cub would succeed, but she crouched on the ground, gently smoothing its fur, repeating the gestures over and over as if she were training a puppy.

"If you don’t want to be stewed and eaten, you must run fast!"

The wild man uncle had been gone for quite a while, and Gu Youyou estimated that he was about to return. She waited both excitedly and nervously, too hungry to feel her rumbling stomach.

Time seemed to pass exceedingly slowly, feeling as though a century had gone by before the tall tomb door finally began to open with a rumble.

To get the wild man uncle’s attention, and to make him overlook the wolf cub running out at his feet, she hurriedly climbed into the coffin along with the man in it, standing together.

The moment the stone door opened, the wild man uncle saw Gu Youyou standing in the coffin, smiling cheerfully and waving at him. He was truly taken aback.

After all, she had been thrown in by someone else these past few days. How could she willingly climb in herself?

Gu Youyou chuckles and said, "Uncle, you must have a special hobby of keeping people in coffins, don’t you?"

The wild man uncle had caught a half-grown roe deer today, carrying it on his shoulder. The roe deer was already dead, a bloody hole in its body, fresh blood dripping from that hole to the ground.

The starved wolf cub’s eyes darkly watched the drooping head of the roe deer, hardly able to resist the urge to pounce and take a bite.

Watching the door slowly close, Gu Youyou felt her heart go cold, thinking to herself: You can’t blame Little Beast, in these mountains full of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, who could withstand such a temptation!

The wild man uncle’s attention was indeed captured by Gu Youyou, completely unaware of the wolf cub at his feet, salivating at the sight of the roe deer.

He walked a few steps forward, dropped the roe deer from his shoulder, and began gesticulating to Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou could clearly see that he wanted her to help deal with the roe deer, which was too large for them to eat in one day.

The heavy stone door made a dull sound as it closed.

Gu Youyou glanced in that direction, only to discover that the wolf cub was gone.

She was both alarmed and delighted in her heart. Had the little fellow ultimately resisted the great temptation and run out at the last moment the door closed?

It is most difficult for humans to be self-disciplined, yet for a wolf to do so, this creature must have a limitless future ahead!
