An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"There's no sound outside."

I don’t know how long it took, but everyone in the room kept listening to the sounds outside, and finally a voice was heard from the silent crowd.

“It seems like it’s really gone.”

"The wolves haven't all run away!"

"I hope they're all killed!"

"There are over fifty serious criminals in the back alone. That should be enough for everyone."

……

Hearing this, Heizi lowered his head and shed tears. He was very worried about his mother's safety. Although the shackles on her feet were gone, who could say for sure that she would not be eaten by wolves?

At this time, his sleeve was gently pulled. He raised his eyes and saw Jing Mingzhu, who was next to him and was held by his aunt, gently pulling him, but the little boy did not say anything.

"Aren't there still over thirty people without handcuffs and shackles?"

"There are about ten people from Jing Yongsheng's family who didn't go to the market."

Jing Chunxi remained silent. The two little glutinous rice dumplings secretly wondered: "Does the adult mean that there are enough people outside for the wolf pack to share? Are they all safe now?"

Heizi continued to lower his head and scratch the ground with a stick. Knowing that he was worried, the little ball Jing Mingzhu patted his hand and handed him the little rabbit in her hand, comforting him, "Auntie is fine. My aunt, mother, and brothers will be fine. Their meat is not delicious."

Everyone: How come this kid's words are so sweet? I hope it goes as I wish.

But no one could smile.

Although Heizi was not comforted, he did not take the rabbit. Instead, he reached out and patted the little glutinous rice dumpling and touched the smooth soft fur of the little rabbit, indicating that he agreed with what she said.

A long time passed.

"Listen! This way, at the door."

"Another pack of wolves has come in."

Grandpa Xiaobei and Jing Yongcheng, who were staring out the window, suddenly spoke one after another, which made everyone's hearts flutter again. It was true that one wave after another came, and the wolf would not give up until it could not get its share of their meat!

Sure enough, the noise coming from the door suddenly became louder. There was another wave of chaotic and panicked footsteps and howling of wolves. They came in and did not stop, going straight to the backyard.

The ghostly howling sounds in the backyard, which had stopped for a long time, started again, but the sounds were not as loud and not as concentrated. The crying and shouting became sporadic but still so shrill, making people feel as if they were about to be bitten to death and die.

Jing Yongcheng whispered to everyone, "We need to add more firewood outside before the wolves come. Once the fire is out, they'll probably come rushing towards us soon."

Grandpa Xiaobei softly ordered, "Men, move forward, women, sit back. The wolf is coming. If we don't work together, we'll all be dead."

Several more people, led by Daqing, stood up and said, "Let's go out and add more firewood."

"I'll go as well."

"Hurry up and move to the back. Let us have the seats by the window and door in the front."

……

Everyone cooperated very well. There was no noise or chaos in the two rooms. Some people stood up, some squatted and moved, and they completely obeyed the arrangements.

Jing Chunxi also helped the old lady retreat to the back. There was no door or window behind the kitchen, so it would not be easy for the wolves to hurt them unless they broke through the wall or came down from the roof.

It would certainly not be easy to break in, but Jing Chunxi looked at the thatch on the roof, which was not very thick. It was supported by only a dozen beams that were not as big as a man's fist. The house was too simple. Even if the wolves shared a common hatred and worked together, it might not be foolproof.

She was still a little scared. She had heard that wolves were very smart animals. They would even unite to achieve their goals and even form a pyramid to get into the house.

Seeing someone step forward, Jing Yongcheng and Xiaobei's grandfather sighed: Jing Yongqiang and Jing Yongjian's families are finally okay; it wasn't in vain that they were allowed to follow them into the house. They all looked strong and capable, knowing not to retreat in the face of danger. Even the children and women were cooperative, at least knowing to follow orders and that unity was the only way to survive.

At this time, what we fear most are people who are disobedient, uncooperative, and ununited.

Sure enough, within two cups of tea, the wolves behind them went into patrol mode after they had added firewood. Since they could no longer find a target to attack, they began to search the yard. Occasionally, one or two wolves came by leisurely, as if strolling in the garden, but their green eyes were extremely fierce, as if they did not want to miss any corner of the yard.

The two groups of prisoners at the back, especially County Lieutenant Yan, really had to thank the General's Mansion for the early warning. Although he was skeptical at first, from the moment the wolves attacked the gate, he had already started to transfer the prisoners to a room vacated by the officials. So although the 38 people were squeezed like dumplings, they were safe and sound.

Among the more than fifty serious criminals, only a few whose crimes were less serious and whose family members were implicated and exiled together with Heizi were not shackled. The rest were all shackled.

Heizi's mother originally helped to remove the shackles of seven or eight people, but among those seven or eight people, there were some relatives or some who had developed feelings for each other because they were originally imprisoned in the same cell. They helped each other, and finally more than twenty people were able to have their shackles removed.

Even though these prisoners were tortured and did not have enough to eat during their exile, they were naturally nimble and had a desire to survive, so once the shackles on their hands and feet were removed, they could easily climb trees and jump over walls. Naturally, they would do their best to avoid sudden dangers.

Many of the remaining ones were desperate criminals. In the face of danger, many of them would struggle desperately even with shackles. They found a place to hide during the commotion in the front yard and were able to avoid the attack of the wolves.

However, the prisoners who couldn't run fast enough to dodge, and who were old, weak, sick, and disabled, could only wait to die because they were powerless. The backyard was a horrific sight. In addition to those who had been eaten by wolves, broken hands and feet, torn bodies and flesh were everywhere.

Logically speaking, with so much food to eat, the hungry wolves should have left after eating and drinking their fill. But the strange thing was that not only did these wolves not leave, but they occasionally rushed in from the door, perhaps because they smelled blood. It seemed that they were all heading for the post station, and their target was the prisoners.

It's not that all the prisoners in the backyard were bitten to death and eaten, but those who were agile climbed trees and climbed over walls. Looking around, there were many people lying on the wall alone. The wall was five or six feet high, and it should have been repaired not long ago. It was still strong and could not be reached by the wolves.

The thatched hut they were in was the shortest, and the mud bricks on the wall were not very flat, making it easier to climb. Those who couldn't climb the wall and had no trees to climb would naturally think of coming here. They could feel the vibration of someone climbing onto the roof even when they were hiding in the kitchen. Not long after they ate, they realized that there were several more people above their heads. It was they who attracted the wolves.
