Seeing that the wolf had run away and no other wolves came down the mountain, the captain immediately called over, "Quick, come over, bring some people over and carry Zhong Furong back."
Secretary Tian was also frightened, his face still trembling, and he shouted to the educated youth station not far away: "Wang Huiyu, go and call Yun Huaying, and ask her to come and check on Zhong Furong."
"Secretary Tian, Yun Huaying is not at home. She and Han Zheng went to the mountains."
"Ah? Going to the mountains too?"
Secretary Tian's expression changed. "When did they go? Which mountain did they go to?"
"They have been in the mountains for almost two hours, saying they were picking some mushrooms." Wang Huiyu didn't know which mountain they went to, but she heard them talking to Zhong Furong in the morning.
By now, the captain and his men had carried Zhong Furong back. She was still alive, but her body was covered in blood. Her back, legs and shoulders were bitten to pieces by wolves, and her round and beautiful face was also scratched and disfigured. She had fainted from excessive shock.
Yun Huaying was not in the team, and the commune doctor's medical skills were not good enough, so the team leader urgently sent a tractor to send the person to the county hospital.
As soon as they left, Yun Huaying hurried back with a basket on her back, pretending to be frightened. "Secretary Tian, quickly inform the team not to go into the mountains again for the time being. There really are wolves there."
"Why did you come back alone? Where's Han Zheng?"
Secretary Tian knows the identities of the two elders of the Han family, and their precious grandson must not be allowed to get into trouble.
"Han Zheng is in the mountains. He said that the wolf just chased and bit Zhong Furong, and something seemed amiss. He asked me to get down the mountain quickly and he went to investigate alone."
Han Zheng was a soldier, so he must have looked at things more carefully than an ordinary person. Secretary Tian now had a different guess in his mind and frowned: "When that wild wolf chased and bit Zhong Furong just now, did you see the whole process?"
"We're on the opposite hill."
Yun Huaying pointed to another hill, which was exactly opposite the hill where the villagers had just chopped firewood, and Zhong Furong ran down from the middle hill.
"Han Zheng said wolves don't usually attack humans. There's a lot of game in the mountains behind us, and even if they're hungry, they'll go and catch it. They won't chase people and bite them, but they chased us all the way to the village down the mountain. He said something looked a little off, so he asked me to go down the mountain and tell everyone not to go in while he went to investigate."
"Yes, tigers and jackals have appeared in the mountains near us before, and we can occasionally hear their roars, but they have never come down the mountain to the village where people live. Today is the first time, and there are so many people on the mountain, why would it chase and bite Zhong Furong alone?" Another neighbor also found it very strange.
Secretary Tian also found it strange and quickly asked the other educated youth, "What were Yin Mei, Tao Jiao, and Zhong Furong doing in the mountains? Did she go alone?"
"We had no idea she went into the mountains. She usually doesn't go out with us. These past few days, when we went into the mountains to look for mushrooms, she didn't go with us. Just now after breakfast, we were resting in the room and had no idea where she went." Yin Mei, Tao Jiao and the others really didn't know.
"Could she be going to the mountains to chop wood and pick mushrooms?" asked a woman nearby.
"Probably not. We picked some mushrooms and cooked them before, but she refused to eat them. She just tried them and said she didn't like them, so she left. She also doesn't go to chop wood alone. Last time we went to chop wood, she didn't go. Later, she gave Li Bin two yuan and asked the male educated youth to help her chop wood for the winter."
"She's not going to pick mushrooms or chop wood. What is she doing in the mountains alone?" another person asked.
Everyone was also confused. This question could only be answered by Zhong Furong herself, but she was seriously injured and fainted. She probably couldn't answer this question for a while.
On the other side, the little wolf cub also followed the command and chased Brother Jing to bite him. Brother Jing was much more agile than Zhong Furong. He had just fought with the little wolf cub in the mountains. The little wolf cub did not want to kill him, but scratched his calf and let him go.
Han Zheng followed the man the whole time, all the way to the county town, and even called people over to keep a close eye on him.
Just as he was about to go back, he saw Zhao Xuelin escorting the bloody Zhong Furong to the county hospital. He immediately dodged and hid. Seeing the deep scars on her body that could be seen to the bone, he felt no sympathy or pity at all. She was an enemy spy who looked harmless on the surface but was actually a vicious person and deserved to be cut into pieces.
When Han Zheng returned to the team, the neighbors were still talking about what had just happened. The two elders of the Han family and Lin Shan and the others had also come back after hearing the news and were also listening to everyone talk about what had just happened.
Secretary Tian saw him coming back and immediately pulled him aside to talk: "Han Zheng, did you find out anything?"
"I just followed the blood trail. The place where Zhong Furong encountered the wolf is about a mile or two up the mountain. It's close to the mountainside. We often go there to chop firewood, and the villagers often go there to set traps."
As Han Zheng spoke, he took out the dagger that Zhong Furong had dropped on the ground and showed it to him, "I picked up this dagger there. I've identified the blood on this dagger as hers, not the wolf's."
The dagger looked ordinary, and Secretary Tian didn't notice anything unusual. Thinking that wolves roamed near the village, and that Zhong Furong was just walking along the hillside, he frowned and said, "So, she was just unlucky today?"
"It's not certain yet."
Han Zheng put away the dagger and said, "I'll check it out later. The team should not panic for now. Inform everyone not to go into the mountains again in the near future. Even if you need to chop wood, you must go in groups and only stay at the edge of the mountain."
"I've just informed them."
Even if Secretary Tian didn't notify them, the villagers were frightened and would definitely not go into the mountains again in the short term.
