After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Zhang, the yamen runner, went in hurriedly to report. This was a big deal. If something happened in a village, the county magistrate would be punished.

Magistrate Wu walked towards the government office without even putting on his clothes, buttoning his clothes as he walked.

"Are there any casualties? Have the wolves left?" Lord Wu asked the bailiff Zhang.

As soon as Zhang, the yamen runner, heard the news, he came to report. Without having time to ask about the situation, he just told what he knew.

Several people from Kaoshan Village were invited into the yamen, followed by people who came to watch the fun.

"Master, please save our village. We fought hard to kill five wolves last night, and there are still a dozen wolves surrounding the village."

Lord Wu looked at their miserable condition and did not dare to neglect them.

"Old Zhang, go to the guard post outside the city and ask for help. Ask Lord Li to send soldiers to kill the wolves."

Boss Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this arrangement.

The garrison was full of serious soldiers, so a dozen wolves were no problem for them.

Boss Zhou led his men to kowtow to Lord Wu, shouting, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian."

The few people who followed behind also sincerely thanked the county magistrate.

The people from the garrison arrived quickly. After meeting the people from the county government, they gathered their men and came with their weapons.

Lord Li of the garrison was worried that he would not be promoted because of his lack of political achievements. There were no major bandits near Wu'an City, so he could not gain merit by suppressing bandits.

Even for trivial matters, the guards could not be found.

The county government's request for help gave him a chance to make a contribution. The guards were well-armed and the soldiers were all very skilled, but they just had no chance to show their skills.

When they heard that there were wolves, they all howled with excitement and came to Lord Li to ask to go with them.

The two sides met up, Lord Li confirmed the address, and rode his men there first.

Lord Wu and his bailiffs were chasing after them. Boss Zhou and his companions were worried about their families, so they drove the ox carts back home.

The village head was guarding the village with his men. When he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, he quickly shouted, "Get up, get up!"

The villagers also heard it, and they quickly got up and took precautions with wooden sticks.

As the sound of horse hooves approached, the person on horseback came forward.

"This is a mountain village."

"Sir, this is Kaoshan Village. Are you here to help us?" said the head of the village choking with sobs.

Lord Li looked at the embarrassed people at the village head and said loudly, "We are here to catch wolves, don't worry."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for saving us." After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed, and all the villagers followed suit.

"It is our responsibility to protect everyone. Don't be so polite. Get up quickly." Lord Li didn't like kneeling back and forth.

The head of the village stood up and took the group to the meeting room, where he explained the whole matter in detail.

Lord Li chose a villager to lead the way up the mountain.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, now they could sleep well.

When Lord Li went up the mountain, the head of the village led the villagers to kill chickens and sheep, prepare meals, and wait for them to come back to eat.

Just as the chicken was put into the pot, Lord Wu came with his men. When they heard that the guards had gone up the mountain, they did not go up the mountain to hinder them, but only observed the situation near the village.

Ye Qing had already had a good sleep. Now that the people from the guard post had arrived, the villagers felt relieved. Those who had been worried all night yesterday went to catch up on their sleep.

Ye Qing changed into clean clothes and went to the village. The village head took Mr. Wu to inspect the village.

The winery and Yipinxiang are both closed today and will resume work after the wolves are caught.

After the villagers' anxious waiting, Lord Li finally returned with his men, trailing a dozen wolves.

The people waiting at the entrance of the village saw them coming back and hurried back to report, "Master Wu, Master Li is back and is almost at the entrance of the village."

Lord Wu put down the cup in his hand, stood up and walked out.

The village head and his entourage followed behind, looking eagerly towards the village entrance.

"Lord Li, thank you for your hard work and all the brothers for your help." Lord Wu greeted the people in the garrison.

"Mr. Wu, you are too polite. This is all part of my job and not worth mentioning."

Lord Wu looked at the dozen or so wolves placed in the square and couldn't stop smiling.

"Sir Li, when I get back I will write a memorial to ask for your commendation."

Lord Li was delighted to hear this. "Lord Wu, you have made a lot of contributions here. I will mention it when I report it."

The two smiled at each other, and both understood each other's meaning. This achievement was shared by both the local government and the garrison, as it was to eliminate harm for the people.

"My lords, the meal in the village is ready. Please come and stay for a simple meal." The head of the village spoke at the right time.

Lord Li and his men had been running in the mountains for a whole day and were already hungry.

We borrowed six large pots from the village, two of which were used to cook rice, and the others were used to cook vegetables.

Ye Qing asked someone to go to the winery to get some wine. The newly brewed batch was almost ready to drink.

Ye Qing motioned Ye Xuan to move forward, and Ye Xuan obediently went over with the wine.

"Sir, this is the first batch of wine brewed by our Zui Xiang Fang. Please taste it."

"Oh, this is it."

"Sir, I am from Kaoshan Village and work as a manager in Zuixiangfang." Ye Xuan was a little nervous. The highest-ranking official he had ever seen was the head of the village.

Lord Li is a soldier and he likes to drink. After running all day, he wants to drink some wine to relieve his fatigue.

They are all rough guys who like to drink liquor, and they feel stronger when they drink strong liquor.

Ye Xuan and Tietou brought two jars over, and everyone present drank freely, but they couldn't finish it.

Lord Wu is not used to this kind of wine. He likes to drink softer wine, but the winery has not brewed it yet.

The more than 30 people brought by Lord Li and the dozen people brought by Lord Wu ate meat with big mouthfuls and talked with the villagers. They didn't finish eating until the moon was high in the sky.

The village head arranged for them to live in the front yard of the meeting hall. It was not cold at that time, so they could sleep on the floor.

The head of the village sent the young men to toast, just to keep them for one night. With them around, there would be no need to worry about any wolves that escaped coming back to take revenge on the village.

Fortunately, the night was peaceful, nothing happened, and all the wolves were caught.

The next morning, Lord Li left with a dozen wolves and a hundred kilograms of liquor prepared by Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was very grateful to the guard post. If anything happened in the future, he could still ask for help.

Lord Wu did not go back. He took his men to Ji Village to check and visited several villages at the foot of the mountain to make sure there were no hidden dangers before going back.

As soon as Lord Wu left, Ye Chenjing and his companions came back. After returning, they checked everyone in the family and only became tearful when they found that no one was injured.

They didn't come back yesterday because of the exam in the private school. I heard the news in the city during the day and was so scared that I asked for leave to come back. Seeing that my family was fine, I finally put my mind at ease.

Ye Qing looked at his brother's low mood and patted his arm, "It's okay, we are all fine, the villagers are very strong."

Ye Chenjing rubbed his eyes and calmed down before speaking to his family, "I will definitely exercise well in the future and come back every day. Next time there are wolves, I will protect you."
