Carrying the big package, he went to the state-owned restaurant and bought twenty meat buns. Then he returned to the ox cart and put the package on it.

The captain and another old man were stunned by An Ran, wondering where this strong man came from.

An Ran looked at the two of them and asked blankly: What happened?

The captain coughed awkwardly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." An Ran didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that the others hadn't returned, he took out four meat buns. He stuffed two into the captain's hands and the other two into the hands of another old man. He said, "It's already afternoon. You must have not eaten yet, so you came to pick us up. Don't be polite with me. Just think of it as a younger generation showing filial respect to the elder."

The two looked at each other and without any hesitation, the other old man said to An Ran while holding a bun: My surname is Li, you can call me Uncle Li.

An Ran called Uncle Li generously, and then urged the two of them: Eat quickly, it will get cold soon, and you won’t be able to eat in peace when they come back.

The two of them put the other one in their pockets and only ate one each. An Ran didn't say anything. It was none of her business what they did with the food after they gave it to them. Besides, in this day and age, not everyone could afford a meat bun. The two of them must have taken it home to feed their children. If they weren't hungry, they probably wouldn't have eaten it. Alas, it was all because of poverty...!

Seeing that everyone had not returned yet, An Ran squatted next to the team leader and asked: Uncle Tian, ​​how many educated youth are there in our village now? Is there still room for them to stay?

The captain had been bribed by cigarettes and buns. In addition, An Ran was a martyr's relative and was instructed by his superiors to be taken care of, so he naturally had a good impression of An Ran.

He answered: You are the third batch of educated youth. There are ten educated youth in the village now, four men and six women, and you can accommodate us temporarily.

An Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Tian, ​​are there any extra houses in the village? I'd like to rent or buy one. If there aren't any, can we build one near the educated youth site?"

The team leader did not recommend her to live alone. After all, she was a girl and it was not safe for her to live alone. After thinking about it, he said: Why don’t you live in the educated youth site first? If it really doesn’t work out, we can think of another way.

Anran thought about it and knew the captain's concerns, so she didn't insist. She decided to stay for a few days and see if it worked out. Then she would think about it. Then she nodded in agreement.

The others also came back one after another. Seeing that everyone was present, the team leader asked them to put their things on the ox cart, and then they walked back in a mighty procession.

An Ran was fine along the way. She drank spiritual spring water and had enough physical strength. She did not fall behind and even showed signs of overtaking.

The captain nodded and was even more satisfied with An Ran. Along the way, An Ran didn't complain or say he was tired, but just followed silently.

Looking at the others, the team leader felt a headache, thinking that the village would be even more lively in the future, as each generation of educated youth was getting worse and worse...!

As night fell, Li Mengyao, exhausted, sat down on the ground, crying, "I really can't walk anymore, and neither can the others." An Ran looked at the others, wondering if my legs were rented. "Why don't I feel tired?" (Everyone asked, "What the hell did you drink? Don't you have any idea?")

The captain's head was buzzing. It was supposed to be an hour's journey, but it took them two hours. And they were still complaining about being tired. Could they even support themselves?

He said seriously: "Either get up and go, or turn back. It's your choice." Also, it's dark now, and wolves are more likely to appear after dark. If you don't want to feed the wolves, work harder and don't get others into trouble.

An Ran, who had just taken out her flashlight and turned it on, heard the sound coming from the distance, getting closer and closer. She yelled, "Li Mengyao, shut up!" Then she quickly found a few stones, handed them to Fu Xiaoxiao and Chen Manman, and said vigilantly, "The wolf is coming. Everyone, be prepared. If you don't want to die, find a weapon. Either run forward, or wait to die!"

Everyone was just about to say, "Are you feeling it wrong?", when suddenly there was a wolf howl, scaring everyone to scream in unison. An Ran shouted irritably: "Shut the fuck up, are you guys trying to see who can shout the loudest?"

At this time, a wolf rushed out and bit Captain Tian's neck. Before Captain Tian could react, An Ran rushed up and knocked the wolf down with one blow.

Then, countless wolves rushed out from all directions and attacked them. An Ran took out several machetes from his space and threw them to Cao Mo and his men. He also threw two to the two uncles, asking them to use them for self-defense. Several people picked up the machetes and killed the wolves with An Ran, but they were too weak. Several grown men didn't kill a single wolf. They were all killed by An Ran at critical moments.

She was so angry that she yelled, "Haven't you guys eaten yet? You can't even kill the wolf leader, just die."

An Ran cursed while looking around, and saw a wolf rushing towards them with Chen Manman and the other one on its back. A machete flew over, and the wolf was killed on the spot. Chen Manman and the other one had collapsed on the ground, not daring to move.

An Ran discovered the leader wolf, and the leader wolf also discovered An Ran. Their eyes met and in a flash, the leader wolf ran towards An Ran's neck and bit her. An Ran rolled over and slashed at the leader wolf's back with a knife, which made the leader wolf even more angry.

The alpha wolf is ready to attack its prey, like a sword ready to be unsheathed at any time.

The man and the wolf looked at each other for a second, and the leader wolf pounced on him. An Ran didn't move. Fu Xiaoxiao shouted worriedly: An Ran, be careful.

The leader wolf rushed over. An Ran turned sideways, raised the machete high, and chopped it down at the leader wolf's head. With just one blow, the leader wolf's head was completely separated from its body. The other wolves, seeing that the leader wolf was dead, fled and disappeared without a trace.
