Uncle Hu is a kind-hearted person in the village and he often helps other villagers.

So when they knew he was in trouble, many villagers rushed over from their homes to check on the situation.

It was not until we heard from the old branch secretary that Uncle Hu was lucky this time and only suffered some minor skin injuries and nothing serious that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

While the villagers were grateful and praising Xie Beichen for saving Uncle Hu, they also did not forget to blame Uncle Hu for his recklessness.

Uncle Hu knew that he was in the wrong, but he also knew that everyone was doing this for his own good.

So when faced with everyone's well-intentioned accusations, he did not argue, nor did he get angry.

He even made fun of himself to cheer everyone up, just hoping that everyone would scold him more gently.

Seeing that Uncle Hu's wound had been bandaged and it was getting late, they did not stay in the old branch secretary's yard for too long. Instead, they helped the Hu family and carried Uncle Hu back to his own home.

Only when the yard finally quieted down could Ruan Yu and the others go back and sit on the kang to have a good dinner.

At the dinner table, the old branch secretary naturally started talking to Xie Beichen about the wolf pack in the mountains.

Although Uncle Hu mistakenly entered the depths of the forest this time, the wolves' activity range was still much closer to the village than in previous years.

"There are soldiers in the army who will be arranged to patrol nearby, but this pack of wolves is not large in number, so it should be a new group that has just been put together."

Xie Beichen had a very thorough understanding of the things in the mountains.

He briefly introduced the situation to the village party secretary, and then did not forget to reassure him: "It is not easy to find food in the mountains now, so the wolves' range of activities will expand a bit, and when spring comes, they will sneak deeper into the forest.

So you'd better inform the villagers and tell them not to go into the mountains unless necessary."

When the old branch secretary mentioned the villagers going into the mountains in winter, he looked helpless.

Although people's lives have improved a lot compared to before, at least they can get half full by mixing grains with other foods, but after all, every family is short of oil and water.

So there are many people who want to go into the mountains to try their luck.

The harvests have been good in the past two years, and the villagers are relatively honest.

This happened in the past few years when the harvest was poor and people couldn't even fill their stomachs, and many people went into the mountains and never came out.

Moreover, people living near the mountains all know that when the weather outside is bad, the small animals in the mountains actually have a hard time either.

Especially when encountering natural disasters such as drought, the vegetation in the forest will decrease, and small animals such as rabbits will have a hard time and will want to run away.

In this way, the hungry wolves that can't find food will sometimes even sneak into the village and attack the children.

"Well, I plan to notify them tomorrow. Then I'll have someone put up a sign on the way into the mountain to prevent people from sneaking in."

He made a decision quickly and agreed to Xie Beichen's proposal.

After talking about the things in the mountains, the old branch secretary naturally shifted the topic back to the matter of Xie Beichen starting to repair the house tomorrow.

“As for the tile issue, I’ve already contacted the nearby brick and tile factory for you.

The factory director has already approved it, but we'll have to go there and transport the people back by ourselves when the time comes.

What I mean is that we should first check tomorrow to see how much is missing. Once we have confirmed the quantity, we can drive the sled over to pull it. It’s not far anyway, so the worst that can happen is that we will just have to make two more trips.

I have also discussed the matter of the purlins with you.

It just so happens that your uncle Guizi has a lot of food left over from building a house for his eldest son last year. I asked for ten kilograms of food coupons for you. You can just take the rafters and use them."

The old branch secretary was really busy the whole day.

He simply arranged everything that needed to be prepared for tomorrow, and now sat at the table, explaining everything to Xie Beichen one by one.

"Dad, you know more about this than we do. Just make the arrangements."

No matter what, Xie Beichen's attitude is impeccable.

Since all these arrangements had been entrusted to the village party secretary, there was naturally no reason for him to come out and make random comments at this time.

Seeing Xie Beichen's open attitude, the old branch secretary was very satisfied. At least when he looked at him this moment, his eyes were much kinder than yesterday.

After dinner, Xie Beichen was not in a hurry to go back.

He went to the yard and brought in the prey that he had brought back from the mountain and had thrown casually in a corner.

There was still no big stuff, just three rabbits and two pheasants.

But it is definitely enough to entertain the young people who will come to help repair the house tomorrow.

"We originally hunted a roe deer." Xie Beichen didn't feel it was a pity when he said this.

"Later, I saw Uncle Hu being surrounded by wolves. In order to save him, I threw the roe deer to the wolves. Since they had food, they naturally stopped pestering us."

"So, what if the wolves are greedy?"

Xie Beichen said it lightly, but Ruan Yu, who was listening to it, was terrified.

What if he threw the roe deer to the wolves and the wolves did not leave?

Then, wouldn’t he be in the same danger as Uncle Hu?

"Wolves are actually very smart animals and they know exactly how to avoid danger.

They would surround Uncle Hu because they knew that Uncle Hu's strength would not bring them any danger. But I was different.

So they know how to make trade-offs.

Taking that roe deer away is still a gain; if they are really as greedy as you said, then the consequence may be that they lose not only the roe deer, but even their lives. "

It seemed that only at this time could Ruan Yu feel the bloodiness and sharpness of Xie Beichen as a soldier.

It was like a ferocious beast sealed in his body, which suddenly raised its eyes and bared its fangs, looking fierce and dangerous.

Xie Beichen handed the prey to Aunt Hongying, and also stuffed a thick stack of food coupons into her.

"Aunt, I don't know how much food we will need to entertain the comrades who come to help tomorrow. But we can't let them go hungry if they come to help."

Since he had asked Aunt Hongying to help arrange the meals, Xie Beichen had to prepare everything in advance. He couldn't let Aunt Hongying suffer any hardship or loss.

"There's no need for so much!"

Aunt Hongying was shocked by Xie Beichen's generosity. This stack of food coupons looked like it weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms. If he invited a few young men to come and repair the house, even if they ate freely for two days, they wouldn't be able to eat so much!

"Please keep it first, just in case!" Xie Beichen did not allow Aunt Hongying to refuse, and directly stretched out his hand to push it back to her: "Even if you don't need so much this time, we will have a wedding banquet soon! Maybe I will give you some more by then!"
