Chapter 283: Anomaly in the Blizzard

While Gu Fan was indulging in his thoughts, he faintly heard some strange noises. On such a silent night, these sounds were particular eerie, and Gu Fan made a gesture for silence.

Hu Bo, too, seemed to realize something; his brows furrowed. A seasoned hunter, he sat still, his eyes scanning the vicinity, his ears attuned to every sound. He, too, detected the uncanny disturbance.

Gu Fan signaled to retreat, and Hu Bo agreed. With a nod of mutual understanding, they hustled back inside the house.

The first thing they did was to shut the door. Gu Fan drew the tattered curtain shut, peeking through a crack to assess the situation outside.

At this moment, Su Hui awoke. Seeing Gu Fan's vigilant expression, she instantly understood and quickly dressed up. Then she asked, "What's going on? Did you notice something unusual?"

Gu Fan nodded. "I heard some strange noises. It's probably just some small animals. Nothing as bad as I thought. There's no need to alarm everyone."
