Chapter 222 Surrounded by Wolves 2

The sun has been shining brightly these days, and the grain dries quickly. This afternoon, all the millet was already bagged and collected.

Once it's light tomorrow, we can weigh the grain and distribute it to each household.

With the grain all harvested, everyone finally felt relieved and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow that night.

However, a series of urgent knocks on the door in the middle of the night woke up the people in several rooms.

Zhao Mei, who was closest to the door, hurriedly got up, grabbed a kerosene lamp, and went to open the door. She was stunned when she opened it.

The one knocking on the door was actually the same monkey from last time!

It seemed frightened; its fur stood on end, and it kept making whimpering noises, looking very anxious. As it cried out, its eyes darted around as if searching for something.

Zhao Mei was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom and Dad, Jianye, come out quickly! The monkey that stole the fish last time is back! Come out and see!"

That shout brought everyone in the family out.

"Keep your voice down, baby's still asleep."

When Ma Xiulian came out and saw the monkey, she was also surprised. "Why is it here again?"

The monkey was holding a white, fluffy ball in one hand, while chattering away at them with the other.

Li Chunhua glanced casually towards the door, but was so startled that she screamed, "Ah!!!"

What are you yelling about?

Ma Xiulian frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Don't wake up her precious baby."

But Li Chunhua kept backing away, her finger pointing at the door trembling uncontrollably: "You, you, you, you, look what's that?"

Ma Xiulian looked in the direction she was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat!

Outside the courtyard, there were two pairs of eyes glowing green, their gazes cold and bloodthirsty.

It's a wolf!!

They opened their mouths, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and growled dangerously as they slowly approached.

Li Chunhua cried out again, "What should we do? The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming!"

She was pale and panicked, and began to scream in a somewhat nervous manner.

When the others saw the two wolves approaching from outside, their faces turned deathly pale.

Chen Dazhu reacted the fastest among these people. He slammed the wooden door shut, then took out his pipe with trembling hands, took a deep drag, and calmed himself down.

He hadn't seen any wolves down in the mountains for the past few years, and he thought the wolves in the mountains would never come down again.

After all, it's not a year of famine, and there's no shortage of food in the mountains.

After realizing what was happening, the three Chen brothers immediately braced themselves against the door.

Zhou Zhaodi and Zhao Mei were completely stunned, the chill that started from the soles of their feet spreading throughout their bodies and taking a long time to warm up.

As the eldest son, Chen Jianguo was also afraid, but he still peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that the two wolves were getting closer and closer.

"They've already entered the yard."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after just one glance into those cold, green eyes, his vest was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Chen Jiandang also mustered up the courage to peek out through the crack in the door. He immediately saw the sharp claws and Liao Ye, and swallowed hard, saying, "This thing shouldn't suddenly rush in, right?"

"No, this wooden door is made of the hardest pear wood. The wolf can't get in."

Ma Xiulian pretended to be calm and said, "Let's not sleep tonight, let's just wait here for them to leave."
