Grandpa Xiaobei and the old general each held a big knife and stood under the window. As soon as a wolf approached, they would swing their knife. Sure enough, they soon injured several wolves.

The window was too small and was blocked by a wooden fence, which limited the strength and speed of the attack and made it impossible to kill the wolf with one blow. Once the wolves saw the blood, they counterattacked even more frantically, with an attitude of fighting to the death, which was really frightening.

Brother Daqing and several other cousins ​​and even grandchildren, all guarded the gate with weapons in their hands. Except for the old ones who could not move and the youngest ones who hid in the corner, the other female family members stood up under the leadership of the old lady, each of them holding sticks and stones and bricks. They did not intend to push all the danger to the men in the family. They planned to have a final fight with the wolves.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the roof, and soon there was the sound of someone being dragged and rolling down. The sound was extremely tragic, even more miserable than the sound of being pounced on by a wolf in the backyard. After all, this sound was very close, making people feel as if they were there.

And just as the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, the sound of wolves biting and fighting frantically was immediately heard. At first there were struggles and screams, but soon the wolves were fighting and tearing each other apart. The howling of the wolves completely drowned out the last bit of despair before the people died, and soon there was no sound at all.

A living person is gone just like that.

Lin and Aunt Zhao covered the ears of the two little kids tightly. Heizi also leaned close to Jing Mingzhu and hugged her again with his tender hands.

The young dandy was still sitting quietly, holding his long sword against his chest, with no intention of standing up. However, there was no fear in his eyes, nor was there a trace of panic.

Jing Chunxi secretly complained: "Regret it now! This wealthy family's concubine's son is probably going to be in trouble this time. I wonder what will happen if the news of his own son being torn to pieces by wolves reaches his father's ears? I wonder what kind of father would send his son here to die! It's really cruel."

But wasn't his name Uncle Yan, the County Magistrate? Did Uncle Yan just bring him out and leave him alone? How could he explain this to the wealthy family? If he couldn't even protect one person, he would surely not have a good end.

Jing Chunxi was secretly complaining while imagining that the little dandy might die, but he couldn't help but move closer to the little dandy and asked, "Doesn't your father want you anymore?"

Looking at the ugly girl with a cunning and inquiring look, Tao Jin leaned against the wall with his sword in hand: "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

Wouldn't it be better to just honestly admit that if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather? And you're still being so pretentious. Jing Chunxi rolled his eyes.

Jing Chunxi asked tentatively, "Is there no other way? Can County Magistrate Yan send some men?"

If the officials and yamen runners all came out at this time, it would be great if everyone worked together to drive away the wolves. I don't know if the little dandy has the ability to do so.

Tao Jin glared at Jing Chunxi as if she were an idiot, and Ye rolled her eyes at her: "Are his ten people any use?" Then she closed her eyes and didn't look at her, which made Jing Chunxi feel very bored.

Why ten people? If three officials meet, wouldn't there be dozens of them if they united?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Finally, she vented her anger and complained to him, "You wouldn't have died if it weren't for us. You deserve it!"

This little dandy was indeed headstrong, insisting on getting together with them for no reason. Otherwise, he would have definitely slept in the same room with County Magistrate Yan and would have been safe tonight. Jing Chunxi was just being rude, thinking he was just an idiot. He was clearly an idiot, but he still had to show off.

Tao Jin: ...

Close your eyes and ignore people.

After a while.

Jing Yongcheng: "This isn't a solution. The walls of this house aren't strong to begin with. If they're hit a few more times, they might collapse. We should try to find some more firewood to start a fire. It would be more effective if we could move the extra stones and bricks out."

If the wolves were allowed into the house, the space would be too small for them to fight hand-to-hand, and the elderly, women, and children would surely be devoured. The old general was right; even the best weapons would be of little use in a narrow space.

"Yes, only by going out can we survive, otherwise we may die in the house." There is still a possibility of survival if we go out, at least not everyone will be torn to pieces, but it is hard to say if we stay in the house.

"But how do we get out? We have to repel the wolves first, then we have a chance to get out." Now the wolves are sticking to the door and windows, and many of them are banging their heads against the wall. Going out would mean death, and they will bite us one by one.

"It would be great if there were someone to help from inside and outside."

Jing Chunxi was furious. Why didn't he hear any sound from Uncle Zhou Wei? His third uncle used a whistle to contact Uncle Zhou Wei. Even Grandpa Xiaobei didn't understand this way of communication, but his grandfather must have known it. Judging from his current expression, it didn't seem like there were reinforcements outside.

She suddenly grabbed the little dandy's arm and asked, "Do you have any secret guards?"

For some reason, she felt that this little dandy wouldn't die so soon. Didn't wealthy families always have secret guards? Wouldn't someone accompany their precious son on a long journey? Now that he was nearly dead, wouldn't they come out to save him?

Tao Jin finally took a serious look at the ugly girl this time, thinking that she had finally grown more sensible and said something right, but he sighed deeply and shook his head in frustration: "Only eight."

Jing Chunxi: Eight is already a lot, okay? Anyway, they only have guards at the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, but no secret guards. Even at the General's Mansion, the secret guards should only be used by my grandfather and my eldest uncle.

The little dandy seemed to be saying that eight of them wouldn't be enough to handle so many wolves! Jing Chunxi understood his words and actions, but he felt that eight was better than none.

Tao Jin suddenly lowered his voice and pointed at the roof, saying to Jing Chunxi with a hint of flattery: "If the wolf really comes in, I will rescue you."

It would not be a problem for eight secret guards to carry him and this ugly girl weighing dozens of kilograms out. At least they could save their lives.

But his kindness did not receive a response from the ugly girl. Jing Chunxi shook his head firmly and rolled his eyes at the little dandy: "I won't leave. I want to protect my grandparents and my entire family."

Tao Jin opened his mouth so wide that Jing Chunxi wanted to stuff an egg in the shell into his mouth.

He pinched her arm hard, luckily it wasn't all bones. He looked down on the few pounds of flesh on her body, with disdain in his eyes: "You think highly of yourself."

Jing Chunxi stubbornly stayed back to his grandmother's side, but still discussed things with him.

"Let's throw the burning firewood out of the window and let your secret guards help deal with the wolves at the door and on both sides of the window, okay?" This way their people could go out.

Jing Chunxi didn't know where Uncle Zhou Wei and the others were at this time. How many people were there? It was hard to say whether they could be rescued. After all, the more people there were, the more people needed to be rescued, and the number of rescuers was definitely limited.

The situation is critical now and we can't wait any longer.

Jing Chunxi had no choice but to continue to trick the little dandy into helping him. It would be best if he could delay the time as much as possible. As long as he could delay until dawn in the east, the wolves should retreat on their own. But there were still at least two hours left, and they couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
