197 The Wolf Kings act of goodwill (1/2)

With Ren Xiaosu's physical fitness, he would not get injured from just falling off a bicycle. He dusted off the dirt and snow on him and got back on his feet. ”Wudi, if you see any injustice in the future, just let me handle it. You should focus on riding the bike, alright?”

”Oh, sure thing, Master!” Chen Wudi hurriedly picked the bicycle up and continued riding with Ren Xiaosu as he caught up to the group.

Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at the wolves on the hilltop. The white wolves were not alarmed by the sight of the escapees running away and stood there motionlessly in the snow. It was as though they had nothing better to do and were only here to take a gander. But Ren Xiaosu could not understand what their motives were.

In front of him, Chen Wudi was pedaling hard and saying, ”Master, why are there always people in this world who think nothing of hurting others to achieve their goals?”

”Humans are self-serving,” Ren Xiaosu replied nonchalantly.

”What about people who try to get something without making any effort for it?” Chen Wudi asked.

”That's also because humans are self-serving,” Ren Xiaosu replied.

Chen Wudi suddenly sounded a little depressed. ”Master, do you think I should still fight against injustices in the future? There are so many bad people out there. What if the people I save turn out to be bad as well?”

Ren Xiaosu could feel the contradiction inside of Chen Wudi. It seemed like his dream of becoming a hero was starting to waver. Although Ren Xiaosu did not want to be a hero himself, he found this quality in Chen Wudi's nature to be praiseworthy.

Ren Xiaosu patiently explained to Chen Wudi, ”You can continue saving others if you wish to save them. But if you discover that they're bad people after you've saved them, you can just beat them to death.”

”OK.” Chen Wudi nodded vigorously in response.

All of a sudden, a scream came from the fleeing crowd. A woman shouted, ”Someone has taken my belongings! Everyone, please help me! He snatched my bag!”

Immediately, Ren Xiaosu jumped off the bicycle in anticipation of what might happen. By the time he landed on the ground, he saw that Chen Wudi had already rushed to that woman to help her and left the bicycle behind with no one to control it.

Ren Xiaosu felt sad. It was still better for him to learn how to ride a bicycle. It wouldn't do if he had to keep depending on others like this.

After a while, Chen Wudi ran back after beating up another man. When he saw the bicycle lying on the ground, he was a little embarrassed. ”Master, I'm sorry. I forgot you were on the bike again.”

”It's fine, it's fine.” Ren Xiaosu had no alternative but to dismiss it. ”But with so many people here, you can't possibly handle everything, right? I'm afraid that you will exhaust yourself to death if you continue dealing with every little matter.”

Moreover, this was just the beginning of their escape. There would probably be many more instances of such bullying among the escapees in the future.

”Then I'll just handle them one at a time.” Chen Wudi said hesitantly, ”I can't possibly just ignore them.”

After fleeing for a while more, Ren Xiaosu suddenly called out to his group, ”Alright, let's stop here. The wolves aren't pursuing us. Besides, if they were really chasing after us, none of us could get away.”

Yan Liuyuan and the others came to a stop. When the other escapees saw them stopping, they also slowly stopped in their tracks. Everyone was weary to the bone now.

The only good thing that came of this was that they did not feel as cold after some exercise.

Now that they had fled to a new location, they would have to rebuild their campfires and collect more firewood to burn. Some people who were too lazy to go around doing all that again just laid in the snow. Meanwhile, Yan Liuyuan led the group of students who did not mind the trouble of restarting their campfire.

This was what Ren Xiaosu had requested of them. No matter how cold or tired they were in the snowy wilderness, they were required to make a campfire. Otherwise, they would pay a hefty price.

”Bro.” Yan Liuyuan asked, puzzled, ”Did you sense anything strange about those wolves?”
