Early the next morning, Fu Xiaoxiao personally set out with the four kids and a wolf cub for Upper River Village. The four kids and the little wolf were chattering all the way, excited to soon reunite with their mother. Li Lei and Li Sen were delighted by everything they saw, in stark contrast to the dejection they felt a few days before.
Fu Xiaoxiao looked at the rising sun, the warm sunlight falling on her, feeling very comfortable.
The group laughed and walked towards Upper River Village, when suddenly, the wolf cub walking in front let out a threatening growl.
"What's wrong, little wolf?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
Fu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Lu Chen back and shielded the four children behind her.
From the nearby bushes, a sleek, gray-yellow wolf leaped out, landing steadily on all fours, its body taut, and its fur bristling with anger and alertness.
