Could She Be a Jinx?!

Su Hongchen sensed a sudden wave of intense sorrow from his sister. He furrowed his brows in confusion and looked at her closely.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Su Hongchen asked sternly.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head but didn't reply. However, Su Hongchen, who had raised her since she was a child, and who was also the best soldier in the army, could easily sense that something was off.

As his thoughts raced, he recalled a question he hadn't had the chance to ask. But before Su Hongchen could speak, a loud roar suddenly echoed from the base of the mountain.

Both Su Hongchen and Su Xiaoxiao froze, their breathing halting. Immediately after, the terrified screams of the villagers and the clanging of gongs filled the air. The wild beasts' howls grew louder and more frequent in response.

Jiang Yexun quickly pulled Aunt Guo out of the kitchen, and Su Hongchen grabbed two hunting rifles from the corner, tossing one to him.
