Chapter 1360 Famine and Natural Disaster 519
During the standoff, the campfire gradually dimmed.

It happened so quickly that the wolves swarmed over in a flash.

The guards were led by Yu Shiwei, and wherever their swords passed, blood splattered; the wounded wolves fell to the ground, the seriously injured ones could not get up, while the lightly injured ones got up and continued to pounce and bite.

But in a moment, two guards had their arms bitten by wolves.

Upon seeing this, Mingyi threw the stone in his hand and hit the wolf in the eye; the wolf loosened its mouth in pain and retreated in a hurry.

Looks a bit spiritual.

If they encounter a stubborn wolf, it will hold on to them even if it dies.

"The injured ones stand back, and the others fill the gap."

"kill!"

Guard Yu roared, and the remaining ten or so guards went crazy, raising their swords and chopping at the wolves' heads. The swords were sharp, and blood splattered everywhere with every chop. If there was any miss, Mingyi would add a few stones. They coordinated perfectly with each other, and no one was bitten.

The wolves were getting smaller and smaller, and the guards were exhausted several times, but they dared not relax no matter how small the pack was.

After a fierce fight, the remaining wolves were either injured or frightened, and they retreated with vigilant eyes staring at the group of people.

"Captain, they're retreating."

The guard who was standing next to Guard Yu and helping said.

Guard Yu tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife, "Don't let your guard down. Wolves are very cunning and are good at group attacks. Once they find our weakness, we will be in a passive position."

"it is good."

The guards still held their swords, staring at the retreating wolves with a fierce look, confronting and staring at the wolves.

The wolves suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat repeatedly due to the murderous aura emanating from the guards. Finally, they withdrew from this vast plain and disappeared into the deep mountains and forests.

Without those pairs of glowing green eyes staring at him, Guard Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bandage the injured brother."

Mingyi took out the wound medicine and a bottle of alcohol, "Disinfect first, then apply the wound medicine."

"Madam Cheng, you are frightened." Guard Yu took the two things and said ashamedly, "It is because of our incompetence that you are frightened. When we return, we will report to the prince and accept the punishment."

As a guard, he has protected Madam Cheng for many years. He knows that if Madam Cheng had not checked and filled in the gaps from time to time, they would have been torn open a gap by the wolves and would have been completely wiped out. By then, with Madam Cheng's lightness skills and internal strength, she would not die, and Mr. Ning and his family would definitely not be able to escape.

More than a dozen of their guards died here.

These are all foreseeable.

"You have tried your best, so you don't have to be punished. There are too many wolves, and you have done a good job by scaring them off." To be honest, even if the secret guards came, this is the best they could do. It is impossible to keep all the wolves.

She had to protect the Ning family and couldn't go out to kill wolves, which meant that she would lose a powerful fighter.

Although she said this, Mingyi still had a tense face and pursed lips when she saw the guard. One can imagine how heavy the guilt in her heart was.

"Well, it's over. A guard was injured. We can't go back. Otherwise, we will delay our trip. Do you think we should send someone to send them back, or take them with us?"

Normally, the injured should be well healed; however, they now have urgent matters concerning Pingyang Pass and the northwest, and they cannot delay their journey because of one or two injuries.

We have come this far. How much time will it take to go back?

"Take them with you. Their arms are injured, so it won't affect their walking. If the wound is treated and there is no fever or infection, they will be fine." There were only fifteen or sixteen guards on this trip, and he could only send two to send them back. If there were more, he couldn't transfer them. However, he was worried about sending two people to send them back. Wolves are the most vengeful, and no one knows when the wolves will come out.

The two men were on the road with two wounded people. If the wolves really came out, they would have no choice but to wait for death.

"That's fine, please take good care of the injured, Brother Yu." Following him is the best option. Although he is a little tired, at least his life is not in danger.

Guard Yu bowed and said, "Yes."

Mingyi nodded and gave him one more word of advice before walking away.

Guard Yu went back with the medicine and cleaned the wounds of the two injured guards, who grimaced in pain. If they hadn't been too embarrassed to bear the pain, they would have been howling like ghosts by now.

After cleaning the wounds, they poured the trauma medicine given by Mingyi on their wounds. The wounds that were torn open due to cleaning continued to bleed; once the trauma medicine was poured, the amount of bleeding was visibly reduced, and in just a few breaths, the bleeding stopped completely.

The guards who were helping to hold the man down were amazed.

"Ms. Cheng's medicine is really effective, Captain. Look, the wound has stopped bleeding. Given how effective this medicine is, as long as we don't have a fever, there's no problem with continuing our journey."

"Yes." Guard Yu carefully checked the wound on the man's arm and found that the bleeding had indeed stopped. Madam Cheng's medicine was much better than other wound medicines and it worked immediately. "Okay, everyone go and rest. You two should keep an eye on the injured brother and be careful not to let him get a fever while sleeping."

"Understood, Captain, don't worry, the brothers will watch over it."

After the fight, no one could sleep, and the guards took turns closing their eyes to rest; from time to time they checked the wounds of the injured and whether they had fever. Fortunately, there was no fever at dawn.

Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally.

The Ning family was extremely tired. They should have had a good rest for two days. After experiencing the wolf attack, everyone was eager to leave.

After a simple meal, the group set out again.

Along the way, everyone's vigilance was unprecedentedly high, and they would take a closer look at any sign of movement.

We walked thirty miles in a day and only found a place to stay when it was getting dark.

As soon as they decided on a place to stay, the old man of the Ning family couldn't bear it and sat down on the ground, which scared Ning Qing, Ning Ru and Ning Yi.

"Dad, are you okay?" Ning Qing stepped forward to support him.

Ning Ru walked to the other side and helped the old man, whose legs were weak, to stand up. "Dad, let's go sit on the hay next to us. The ground is very damp."

Ning Yi quickly spread a thick layer of hay to pad the bottom so that the old man could sit more comfortably.

"Grandfather, please take a seat."

"Yier, boil some water for your grandfather to moisten his throat."

"Yes, Uncle."

Ning Yi bowed, turned around, strode away, and went to the guards to help them with their work.

"Guards, let me boil some hot water for Grandfather to moisten his throat."

"Young Master Ning, we will cook the meal right away and hot water will be available in a moment. You can go back and take care of Old Master Ning. We will bring the hot water to you when it is available." A guard responded politely.

Ning Yi thanked him but declined, "You guys are busy, I'll boil some water."

Seeing that he was quite skillful and the captain did not try to stop him, the guards let him go.

With Ning Yi watching over the boiling water, they were able to free up manpower to collect more firewood; the safety of the camp at night depended entirely on the bonfires, and if they lit a few more bonfires, the fire would be so strong that the wolves would not dare to rush over.
