After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 191 Seeking Help from the Government
But no one at the scene could explain why these wolves came from Wang Laosi's house at the village entrance. In the middle of the night, they remembered that the kitchen door was not closed.
Worried that something had gotten into the kitchen, I got up and closed the door. Then I heard some strange noises outside and peeked out through the crack in the door.
Rows of small green lanterns appeared outside, scaring him so much that he collapsed to the ground.
After he recovered and settled his family in the cellar, he struck the gong.
The wolves became increasingly anxious as they watched more and more people gather around them. One of the wolves raised its head and howled.
The people around felt a chill on their backs, this was a call for other wolves to come over.
"We need to deal with these wolves as soon as possible. When the others come, we may not be able to handle them."
Everyone around heard this and agreed with it.
When the head of the village saw Zhou Lao Da coming, he hurriedly called him over and asked him to command the villagers to deal with the wolves.
Now that the wolves have come, we must not let them go. With these threats in the village, how can we let the children go out to play without worry?
This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, whoever takes action first will gain the upper hand.
A few wolves became even more anxious, making whining sounds and threatening everyone.
Boss Zhou made a gesture, and the villagers, who had been prepared in advance, pounced on the wolf according to their previous groups.
Boss Zhou took out his bow and arrow and shot at one wolf. Ye Dalang was not slow either and shot at the other wolf.
Ye Qing hid behind his brother, holding a slingshot, and threw stones at the wolves one after another.
The wolves looked at the villagers rushing towards them and rushed over fiercely, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fight.
There were many people on the mountain village side, but a few wolves over there looked like they hadn't eaten for several days. They stared at the group of people fiercely, as if they could bite off some of their meat.
Ye Qing did not move forward, but threw stones at the eyes of several wolves from behind, helping whichever side was at a disadvantage to attract attention.
With the use of human wave tactics, the wolves suffered more and more wounds. As soon as a wolf fell, they would surround it and chop off its head, then turn around to help others.
When there was only one wolf left, everyone's eyes showed joy, as it was finally over.
I kept swinging the knife and my arm hurt. It was almost over and I could go back home to take a shower and sleep.
But this was just the villagers' wishful thinking. In the distance, running sounds were heard and the green lanterns were getting closer and closer.
Ye Qing was the first to notice the situation, "Another wolf is coming, get out of the way quickly."
As Ye Qing shouted, the last wolf fell to the ground. Ye Dalang stabbed it with another knife and quickly turned around to look for Ye Qing.
People near the village entrance heard the shouting and turned around to defend themselves.
They and this pack of wolves have reached a point where they are at war to the death. Wolves hold grudges, and if they are let go, they will definitely retaliate.
They will not let the wolf out. This is their home and they have family members behind them. They can only fight hard to deal with the wolf.
There were more than a dozen wolves this time. When the leader saw the wolves lying on the ground, he howled to the sky. The wolves behind him were obviously filled with hatred.
Ye Qing saw the pile of firewood next to him, which was all dried firewood.
Ye Qing pulled Ye Dalang's hand and pointed at the firewood. Ye Dalang understood, put his sister behind his uncle, and pulled the people next to him to carry the firewood.
The guys were very fast and were still in a standoff.
The firewood had been placed between the two sides, and a torch was thrown over. The firewood was ignited and the flames shot up.
The wolves stepped back, seemingly afraid of the flames.
The villagers who had just finished fighting finally had time to take a break.
It worked for a short time, but after a long time, the wolves started to get restless and a few of them tentatively ran forward.
The people in Kaoshan Village were not to be outdone. They shouted and attacked the wolves, and scared a few wolves back.
The head of the village looked at the villagers and saw that many of them had blood on their bodies. He didn't know whether it was from the wolf or their own blood.
The village head didn't want to see any casualties. These children had grown up under his watch, and he couldn't bear to see anything happen under his nose.
The firewood in front was burning vigorously, so the wolves didn't dare to come over. The people behind hurried to get firewood. There were many firewood sheds nearby.
The firewood they brought was thrown into the fire in front, and the fire grew bigger and bigger. The wolves looked at the villagers unwillingly from a distance.
Seeing that the wolves did not dare to come over, the head of the village relaxed his expression and called a few people over to discuss what to do.
Ye Qing was also called over to discuss countermeasures together.
"What do you think? How should we deal with these wolves? We must not let them hang around. The wheat harvest is coming soon, and we can't hide for a few days."
Boss Zhou is very skilled and daring. "We will just wear him down and hunt them separately."
Some people disagreed, "If the wolves just surround us and don't come in, we can't afford to waste time."
Everyone said all kinds of things, and the village head couldn't make up his mind for a while.
The village head looked at Ye Qing, who had been silent, and asked, "Qingya, what are your ideas? Tell us so that we can discuss it together."
Ye Qing didn't want any villagers to get hurt, and it was unrealistic to kill all the wolves with just one village.
"Grandpa Lizheng, we are not fleeing from famine now. As long as we hold out until dawn, we will send people to the city for help. The county magistrate will not ignore us, right?"
Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that this was the case. They paid taxes to the government every year, and the government also had to protect them.
"Okay, listen carefully, everyone go get some firewood and make the fire burn brighter." The head of the village made the decision.
The roosters crowed, the sky gradually turned white, the darkness receded, and daybreak was approaching.
The people in Kaoshan Village, who had been nervous all night, stared at the wolf pack retreating into the mountains in the distance, sat down on the ground, and finally took a break.
The village head selected a few men, all of whom were strong men in the village, to load the wolves on the ground onto an ox cart and take them to the county government office.
"Don't change your clothes or wash your face, just go like this. Speak in a more miserable way so that the official will send someone over earlier." The head of the village knew very well that the crying child would get the milk.
The wolves returned to the mountains during the day, and now they were heading to the city, where the road was a little safer.
Ye Qing was sent home by Boss Ye. Zhou was so frightened when she saw the blood splattered on Ye Qing's body that she couldn't move her legs.
Wei Xin reacted quickly. He ran over and took Ye Qing to check. He was relieved to see that it was not her blood. He then gave her some clothes to change.
The gate of Kaoshan Village was still locked, and the men in the village were all patrolling outside. They would rush over if they heard any movement.
The patrol team was divided into two teams, one team caught up on sleep while the other team patrolled, and then the two sides switched sides.
The team that went into the city to seek help from the government office was led by Boss Zhou. He was a hunter and could fight off wolves if he encountered one.
As soon as they entered the city gate, they were surrounded by people. They looked miserable, their clothes were torn and tattered, their bodies were stained with blood, and there were several wolves on their carts.
Ye Yuan also followed them into the city. He was a good talker and told people along the way what happened last night. In addition to the injuries on their bodies, everyone they saw followed them to the county government to ask for help.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Zhang, the yamen runner, happened to be standing at the door and was frightened by their appearance.
Boss Zhou was also smart. As soon as he reached the door, he led his men to shout, "Master, help us! Our village is surrounded by wolves."
