The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 232 - 228: Finding Mao Dan

"Take this paper note down the mountain and give it to the team leader..." At this point, Wen Ran paused. She knew what position the team leader held and what his functions were, but the point was, these unfortunate guys didn’t know!

It’s like playing music to a cow, but now she’s playing music to wolves.

Tsk~

She couldn’t rush things.

The more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made.

She decisively changed her words, "Give it to Hetao. If you can’t tell who is who, just give it to Hetao. Hetao will know what to do."

Hetao was raised as a wolfdog at the team, but anyone who had been up the mountain and seen wolves would know clearly.

This was no dog, but obviously a young wolf cub raised to adulthood down the mountain.

Domesticated wolves might make people cautious, but the mountains’ wolves...

When encountered by the timid for the first time, they’d kneel immediately.

Faced with the bold, those welcoming wolves would have guns and sticks.

The head wolf glanced at Wen Ran and turned to call its pack.

The wolves squeezed together, forcibly pushing out a wolf with mixed fur.

To be precise, it was a wolfdog.

A spot of white between the eyebrows.

It looked quite enchanting and charming, to be honest.

Beautiful.

Wen Ran was amazed; she hadn’t noticed this before.

She tentatively raised her hand; seeing no rejection, she placed it on its head and gave it a good rub, "Good wolf!"

"Awoo~"

Wen Ran strung the written note with vines around the wolf’s neck, fearing the note might get torn off in the woods.

She quickly took out paper and pen, starting to write on the spot.

The wolves didn’t understand a thing, and as for the children...

All were scared stiff, not even thinking where Wen Ran got the paper and pen.

Wen Ran tied five small rescue notes around the white-marked neck.

A small breeze made them flutter against the face.

Making the white-marked wolf stretch its neck long and squint its eyes.

Wen Ran: "..."

Sorry, really sorry, but please bear with it for a while. Once the letter is delivered, I’ll definitely take it off right away.

Wen Ran secured the rescue letter, blocked the view behind her, and swiftly stuck her little finger into the white-marked wolf’s mouth.

Sss, water flowed out.

Just a mouthful.

But visibly, the white-marked wolf became excited, and even its fur turned slick and shiny.

"Good wolf," Wen Ran petted, "off you go!"

The white-marked wolf’s figure vanished from sight, making Wen Ran’s expression more serious.

As long as one note could be safely delivered down the mountain, she was confident that the team leader would understand her message.

After all, it’s not the first time doing this sort of thing.

With the letter delivery resolved, the rest involved the children and the safety of those left behind to guard them.

Going to find someone, Wen Ran might bring that little girl along, but bringing anyone more would be a torture.

The children’s stamina couldn’t handle it, and Wen Ran couldn’t tolerate it either.

She would be exhausted to death.

"You come with me to find someone, the rest stay put, watch over these kids, okay?"

The mountain had lots of dangerous animals.

Human infants left on the mountain were essentially like delicious snacks.

If there’s no imposing presence watching over them, it might be...

Forget it.

The mental picture was too beautiful; she couldn’t imagine it.

She squatted down to negotiate with the wolves, "Um, just, let’s stay still here, lie down, and nap, just to threaten a bit."

After thinking it over, Wen Ran backed down a bit more, "Even if you must eat, don’t eat the little ones. I’ve tied up some for you, easy to eat."

The head wolf: "..."

It glanced sideways at Wen Ran, not too pleased.

What did she take them for?

They were the noble and elegant Wolf King, not creatures to eat trash.

The head wolf barked orders at the pack, and after finishing, the wolves began to swarm into a small cave.

Soon, the cave was filled to capacity.

Wen Ran sighed in relief.

She picked the little girl out from the crowd, "Come on, you’re going with me to find the person."

The little girl wrapped her arms around Wen Ran’s neck, a bit shy, murmuring, "Fairy Sister, I can walk myself."

What can I say~

No wonder people love having daughters these days.

Look at that sweet little mouth, it’s just so endearing.

"It’s okay," Wen Ran said softly, "you’re still small, I’ll carry you to move faster."

"I’m too heavy."

"Not heavy," Wen Ran said as she effortlessly lifted a wolf with a straight face, "even if you are, can you be heavier than this?"

The wolf: "?"

Seemed hurt, unsure, it looked again.

Throwing the wolf to the ground, Wen Ran grabbed the little girl and dashed off.

Suddenly, a boy in the crowd shouted, "Qiuyue!"

"Brother, I’m fine," Qiuyue waved, "I’m going with Fairy Sister to save Mao Dan."

The boy looked tense, "Then I’ll go too."

Wen Ran: "No, stay here. If you get tired or sleepy, just take a nap.

Taking just your sister might allow us to be back quickly, but with you, who knows when we’d return."

Moreover...

It wasn’t early anymore.

Estimated that tonight, they’d likely spend the night in the mountain.

"Alright, I’m off," Wen Ran waved, "stay put for me."

She didn’t count on Qiuyue leading the way; bringing her was to soothe Mao Dan.

Carrying a child didn’t hinder Wen Ran from traversing mountains. She moved swiftly, reaching the place Qiuyue mentioned in less than an hour.

After fussing for most of the day, Jin Dou and his group made little progress due to the children’s short legs and limited stamina.

"It’s here!"

Qiuyue was quite excited, "Somewhere around here."

She leaped from Wen Ran’s arms, staggering with her short legs to search, "Mao Dan! Mao Dan! We’re here to find you! Mao Dan!"

Most likely Mao Dan was unconscious with a fever, unable to hear anything.

Wen Ran looked at the head wolf, "Got the scent?"

The head wolf was exhausted.

Normally, finding a scent was fine; their sense of smell was naturally keen.

But this wasn’t a normal time.

It had just rained, and that red string had been with Qiuyue for a long time, its scent quite mixed; finding it was truly exhausting.

If not for that fragrant sweet water, it would have given up halfway.

The head wolf acted defiant, refusing to work at the last step.

Wen Ran looked at the huge lump of the wolf lying there, wavering between giving it a slap or a sweet jujube...

Moments later, Wen Ran chose the latter.

No choice, she still relied on it for the task.

Once it found the person, then maybe.

"Oh my~"

Squatting down, Wen Ran beamed fondly, "I know our good wolf is tired..."

The head wolf: "!"
