Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Elderly Mr. Di is caught, and Ye Lei hurries to flee

“Who told you to light the flint? You really don’t want to live! Hurry up, this is the leopard’s nest, don’t dawdle!”

Di Yelei was burning with impatience, but this group of people was still dawdling here.

Did they think there was only one leopard in this nest?

“Don’t move around! Prince Consort Di warned us that there’s a mother leopard and her cubs here, so hurry up.”

As soon as Zhao Yuanlang spoke, everyone immediately calmed down, leaving only the rustling sound of footsteps on the fallen leaves.

Meanwhile, at the Di family in the Upper Village.

Old Mr. Di lay in bed, quietly thinking about the events of the day.

Outside, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, the family dogs, seemed to have gone mad, barking incessantly and driving everyone crazy.

“What’s gotten into Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua today? They’re barking so fiercely; could they have been scared by being left at home during the day?”

Ms. Zhao peered outside, but it was pitch black, and she couldn’t see anything.

Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua were originally raised in Di Manor. However, considering the hustle and bustle of the Hundred-Day Feast, they were sent back to their hometown in case they bit someone. They would be brought back after the feast was over.

“These two dogs are indispensable to the third family branch. They never bark randomly; could something have happened? You go out and see what’s going on.”

Although Old Mr. Di was not drunk, his head was spinning, and he felt terrible.

“Why does this old woman always have to do everything? They’re just two dogs; how precious can they be…”

Despite her reluctance, Ms. Zhao hesitated for a while and then slowly left the room.

Outside, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua’s barking hadn’t stopped, and the iron chains around their necks clinked loudly.

“Get away! Get away! You damned beasts want to bully this old woman, too? If you want to die, just keep barking, and I’ll…”

Ms. Zhao vented her anger, cursing and getting happier with each passing moment, completely oblivious to the people lying in ambush, who had nearly been driven mad by her.

“Have you finished cursing, you old hag?”

The small leader hiding outside couldn’t take it anymore. This despicable old woman had been cursing him and his men for so long. If he could still endure, he wouldn’t be human!

“Get her! Teach this old hag a harsh lesson so she’ll shut up!”

“Yes, boss!”

The men swarmed behind him and quickly apprehended Ms. Zhao without any resistance.

When had Ms. Zhao ever seen such a spectacle?

Once she realized they were bandits, her eyes rolled, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Only Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua’s barking grew louder, and although their iron chains clinked wildly, they couldn’t break free.

“Boss, these two dogs are really annoying. Should we deal with them before going in?”

This suggestion immediately lit a light in the small leader’s eyes!

“Our master has been in a terrible mood lately, and we must handle things properly. Otherwise, just like that previous small leader, if things go wrong, our master will decapitate us right away, without even leaving a whole corpse. Wouldn’t that be a pity?”

“Right, let’s hurry up, so we can finish this and report back sooner.”

The mournful screams of Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua pierced through the foot of the mountain.

Today, almost all of the villagers from Upper Village had gone to the Di Residence for the Hundred-Day Feast. Their drunken stupors were abruptly interrupted by the miserable howls of the dogs, and they rushed towards the Di Family’s home at the foot of the mountain.

The Di family home was located nearest to the edge of the mountain and was a fair distance from the village. When the villagers arrived hastily with torches, they were horrified by the sight before them!

Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, the two large dogs, laid side by side at the entrance of the Di Residence, their bodies covered in dense wounds. They had clearly been dead for a while.

Frightened villagers ran back to inform Mr. Land Officer. Meanwhile, some brave villagers ventured into the Di family’s inner room where they discovered the corpses of two serving women. Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao were missing, and their fates were unknown.

When the Land Officer arrived in haste, he burst into tears.

“There’s a murder! Hurry, send someone to notify Captain Di! Preserve the crime scene!”

–

Di Yelei was still navigating through the rugged mountains at this moment.

With his guidance, everyone finally managed to safely pass through the leopard’s territory, only to be followed by a pack of wolves.

“Where the hell did these goddamn wolves come from? We can’t drive them away or kill them, what are we going to do?”

When they first realized they had encountered a wolf pack, they tried to kill some but found this group of wolves to be particularly strange. They managed to kill only two and couldn’t find another suitable opportunity to strike again.

Instead, the persistent wolves continued to trail behind, unwilling to leave them alone.

Noticing that the sky was gradually brightening, they finally emerged from the dense forest just before the darkness of dawn.

Just as everyone was heaving a sigh of relief, too exhausted to carry on, the wolves that had been trailing them suddenly stirred!

“Wolves! There are wolves…so many wolves!”

A short guard walking beside Eunuch Xiao suddenly shuddered, almost knocking the eunuch over.

Eunuch Xiao had led a pampered life, and had never been made to flee for it like this.

Exhausted by the escape, he was almost knocked to the ground by the short guard, and slapped him hard in the face without a second thought.

“Do you want to die?! Watch your step and don’t run into me!”

The short guard’s attention was not on Eunuch Xiao at all, but focused on what was behind them, his eyes filled with panic.

“Over there, wolves! So many, many wolves, so many green, glowing eyes!”

His words immediately drew everyone’s attention. Di Yelei hurriedly looked back and gasped at what he saw!

Innumerable green eyes glowed in the darkness, almost blinding everyone. The sudden sight of so many green glowing eyes in the blackness sent a chill through their bones, spreading rapidly throughout their bodies.

“How did so many wolves suddenly appear? I’m afraid the entire wolf population of the mountain must have arrived!”

Zhao Yuanlang was also startled by the sight!

In the darkness, green gleaming eyes were all they could see, surrounding them on all sides!

Di Yelei turned to look but offered no opinion.

“We are all injured, and so many people gathered together are bound to attract attention. Although the smell of blood has been masked by the grass juice and reduced considerably, as we travel, the grass juice dries up, and more blood flows. It was only a matter of time before the scent would attract the wolves.”
