Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

After wrapping himself in the rabbit towel, Xu Wenyan felt warm all over.

This real rabbit fur is much warmer than imitations.

He didn't plan to go anywhere, just walked around in the yard. But when he saw this, the scene in front of him really scared Xu Wenyan.

I saw a gray wolf walking on the edge of the field. It was so thin that you could see the outline of its skeleton. After all, it was a wild animal and its ability to adapt to the environment was really strong.

Xu Wenyan originally thought that many animals on the mountain would die, but he didn't expect that there were still wolves walking down the mountain at this time. This was not good.

The skinny gray wolf also noticed Xu Wenyan, and the man and the wolf looked at each other.

If Xu Wenyan was just dealing with one wolf, he wouldn't think it was a big deal. What he was afraid of was a group of wolves. Those who have been eaten by wolves know that wolves are social animals.

If the wolves come down the mountain at this time, there will inevitably be more casualties in the village.

Xu Wenyan retreated slowly. When facing wild beasts, one must not turn his back to them, as this would stimulate their hunting nature.

If they are very close, don't run. Wild beasts will not attack you for no reason, but in Xu Wenyan's case, it is obvious that they are extremely hungry.

After successfully returning to the yard, Xu Wenyan locked the door.

"Oh no." The adults in the room were still chatting when the children split into two groups. None of the children from the Chen family wanted to play with Zhou Dabao.

"What's wrong?" Chen Sanlin was the first to notice Xu Wenyan.

"I just saw a wolf on the edge of our field."

Everyone was shocked: "What?"

Old Mrs. Hua looked very unhappy. In the early years, when Jixiang Village was not as big as it is now, wolves had entered the village and several children who were playing outside were all dragged into the mountains by the wolves.

The reason why wolves no longer come down the mountain in recent years is because the population of Jixiang Village has increased.

"It's bad. We have to tell the village chief. Eldest and second oldest brothers take the good weapons and go to the village chief's house. Sanlin and Xiaohu, you should come with us too. It's safer in numbers." After all, she has lived for decades, so old lady Hua is quite organized in handling things.

Several men went out together and saw the gray wolf. When the gray wolf saw so many people, it also ran into the woods.

"There really is a wolf." Zhou Jianjia exclaimed.

Now is not the time to waste time. It is really disturbing to receive such news on such a good day.

When they hurried to the village chief's house, they had just finished their meal.

"Why are you guys from the Zhou family so flustered?" Because the yard was open, the old village chief saw Zhou Jianjia running over when he was eating in the main hall.

"Village chief, the wolves in the mountains have come down. After dinner today, Sanlin's wife saw a wolf."

After hearing this, the old village chief and his family felt their hearts sink: "You only saw one?"

Zhou Jianjia gestured to the old village chief as he spoke: "Yes, there is only one. We saw it when we went out."

The old village chief at the back hurriedly picked up the gongs and drums and led a few people to beat them back and forth in the village. The villagers were eating at home when they were attracted by the sound of the gongs and drums.

This gong and drum was bought a few years ago for wolves prevention. Wolves are extremely sensitive to sounds, in addition to the light of fire. In the past few years, someone even borrowed a hunting dog to help.

At that time, the whole village spent a lot of effort to disperse the wolves.

Xu Wenyan naturally heard the sound of gongs and drums as well, but he decided not to go out because he did not have as much experience in dealing with wolves as the villagers.

From this day on, the villagers would be arranged into groups of ten, and would circle around the village chief once in the morning, noon and evening, beating the gong.

I don't know if it has any effect, but it's really tiring during the Chinese New Year.

I originally thought that after all this trouble the wolves would not come close to the village.

But within two days, Xu Wenyan's family was awakened in the middle of the night by the deafening sound of gongs and drums.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" Xu Wenyan opened his eyes half asleep. Chen Sanlin beside the bed was already getting dressed.

"Nothing, just go to sleep."

Before he finished his words, there were two more "dong dong" sounds.

"I'll go with you." Xu Wenyan quickly put on his clothes, picked up a kitchen knife, and followed Chen Sanlin.

After instructing Rong Xiaoliu to lock the door, Chen Sanlin went to a place where there was fire in the distance with Xiaohu and his two uncles who had rushed over. Along the way, he held Xu Wenyan's hand tightly.

"Brother Sanlin, that seems to be Zhao Tiezhu's family." Ever since Xiaohu broke up with their family, he no longer called Zhao Tiezhu brother.

"It seems to be true." Zhou Jianjia looked carefully, because their families were far away, and many people had already gathered around Zhao Tiezhu's house.

When they arrived, there were three wolf corpses and Zhao Tiezhu covered in blood lying on the ground.

The old village chief stood aside with a gloomy expression.

Xu Wenyan carefully led Chen Sanlin towards Wang Dongmei: "Sister Dongmei, what's going on?"

"Zhao Tiezhu adopted a little wolf cub, and now its mother and relatives have come to find it." The expression on Wang Dongmei's face showed her speechlessness to the fullest.

Looking at the bite marks on his body, even if he survived, the chances of him contracting rabies and tetanus would be very high, especially the bloody holes on his arms.

"Tell me what you should do now!" The old village chief pointed at Zhao Tiezhu lying on the ground and said, "Wang Deshun couldn't stand the cold wind. There's no one else in the village who knows medicine."

This incident involving Zhao Tiezhu made the old village chief extremely angry, because he alone made the entire village live in fear.

"Oh, village chief, please save my head. I don't know how to live without him." Zhao pulled the old village chief's sleeve and knelt on the ground, crying pitifully.

The old village chief pushed Zhao away and said, "He deserves it! Can you bring this wolf cub into the village?"

“No, Village Chief, I thought it was a puppy. I brought it back because I felt sorry for it.” Zhao Tiezhu curled up on the snow and explained weakly.

"You look like a puppy to me." The old village chief was so angry that he kicked the already injured Zhao Tiezhu.

He flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"Village chief, you can't leave. What should I do with the head of my family?" Zhao got up from the ground and begged the old village chief.

The old village chief frowned. It was the first time Xu Wenyan saw this old man so angry: "What else can I do? Just wait to die! I don't know any medical skills."

"I remember that Sanlin's wife knew medical skills. Wasn't it she who cured the Zhou family's second son's leg?"

Xu Wenyan looked in the direction of the crowd and saw a middle-aged woman speaking. This woman had greeted him when he first arrived.

Knowing that Xu Wenyan knew medical skills, everyone turned their eyes to him. Zhao also gave up trying to catch the old village chief and crawled towards this side.

Because Chen Sanlin was standing in front of her, Zhao could only kneel down and beg: "Wen Yan, please save your brother Tiezhu. How can I live without him?"

"......How do I know how you are alive? It's not my husband who died." Xu Wenyan picked her ears and took Chen Sanlin's arm.

Chen Sanlin's eyes lit up at Xu Wenyan's casual words. This was the first time he heard Xu Wenyan admit in public that he was her husband.

This feeling now is so subtle, sweet, warm and a little proud.
