He walked to the side of the forest fire and struck the broken gong desperately.
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap…
In the quiet night, the sudden sound of a gong immediately woke up almost all the villagers.
Especially the howl of the wolf leader before had actually woken up many villagers.
"The wolf is coming? Oh my God!
It's so scary at this time of night!"
“Just now I seemed to have heard the howling of the leader of the wolves. It must be a pack of wolves coming.
The direction of the gong sound is towards Awang's home."
"Of course he is! He has hundreds of pounds of wild boar meat! Won't the wolves come here just by smelling it?"
"This time Awang is finished!
Even if he had a gun, how many wolves could he kill with just one gun?
Those are a pack of wolves, a pack of madly hungry wolves!"
…
"The gong sounds, the wolf is coming.
Boss, hurry up, grab your shotgun, and go help!"
"What help are you asking for? Did Awang give you meat or bones today?
It's just a bowl of pig's blood soup which means nothing, and yet it makes you, a woman, complain like this?
I got a pound of wild boar meat and a dozen of my best pine boards."
"How can you talk like that? Awang hunted the wild boar himself. It's already a favor if he can give us some pig blood soup.
Now there are wolves in the village. Although they are heading for Awang's house, we are from the same village. How can we just stand by and watch someone die? Get up quickly and help..."
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll help you. You feel sorry for Awang, but you don't feel sorry for your man."
…
Conversations like this take place on the kang in every household in Linjiagou.
Some of the villagers who were awakened began to gloat over the forest fire, while others immediately picked up their hunting rifles and went out to help hunt the wolves.
but……
Lin Jianguo, the production team leader of the village, jumped up from the bed excitedly after hearing the wolf howling and the sound of the gong.
"Boss! What's that noise? It's so creepy!"
His wife wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and said fearfully.
“Of course it’s scary.
This is the howling of wolves. A group of wolves are coming down the mountain to look for meat.
Hehe! Guess what, they were heading for that cripple Lin Huowang’s house.
Let him show off and brag about it. So what if he killed so much wild boar meat?
He is so stingy, has no sense of collectivism at all, and is extremely selfish.
Now you've attracted the wolf, you deserve it!"
Putting on his coat, Lin Jianguo ran out excitedly.
In particular, I saw many young and strong people in the village. Those who had hunting rifles at home took them out, and those who didn’t have hunting rifles also held pickaxes, hoes, hatchets, etc.
Lin Jianguo immediately became unhappy and hurriedly tried to dissuade these young men:
"Young men! What are you doing?
It’s the middle of the night! You can’t sleep! "
"Captain! Go to the team headquarters and use the village loudspeaker to shout a few times to organize the militia to come out and kill the wolves!"
"That's right! Captain!
The wolf entered the village, and from the sound it seemed to be coming down the mountain from the west slope.
Lin Huowang’s family is right at the head of the group, the wolves must be heading for his family…”
"Let's go over and help first. Captain, please get the militiamen here right away..."
…
Some of these young and strong men helped to transport the wild boar meat, thinking that it would be good if the forest fire was prosperous.
Some of them were thinking about joining the hunting team that would train after the forest fire in the evening, and naturally they wanted to seize this opportunity to show off.
There are also some people who simply didn't want to come out, but were forced out by their wives.
but……
How could Lin Jianguo allow them to help Lin Huowang?
He immediately yelled and cursed, "What nonsense! They are a pack of wolves, how dangerous!
What's the use of these broken hunting rifles of yours?
You guys are costing your lives. Your mother, wife and children at home still depend on you for support!
You're going to fight a pack of wolves in the middle of the night for a stranger? You guys are really out of your mind!"
"Captain! How could he be an irrelevant person?
Awang is also from our village. He treated all the villagers to pig blood soup today.
He is in trouble now, so of course we have to help him."
"Yes! Captain, I know you and Awang don't get along and you often make things difficult for him.
However, this is a matter of life and death!
Besides, if we don’t help now, what will we do if the wolves really rush into the village? "
…
The young men were not very convinced, but Lin Jianguo showed his authority as the production team leader and said sternly:
"If I say you can't go, then you can't go!
What are you afraid of? Didn't Lin Huowang brag about his marksmanship during the day?
It's just a few wolves. Can't he handle it himself? Why do you have to rush over to help?
Besides! If even Lin Huowang himself can't deal with the wolves, what's the point of you going there?
Don’t be afraid that wolves will come to the village. Lin Huowang’s family has so much wild boar meat. If the wolves are full at home, they won’t come into the village…”
"But……"
"Stop saying this and that! Do you still want to share the food after the New Year?
Don't you even listen to me? Then I'll deduct two kilograms of corn flour from each of you."
Lin Jianguo took out his own magic weapon and withheld food from those who disobeyed.
Sure enough, the young and strong men who were originally eager to help could only lower their heads helplessly.
Lin Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, and then said earnestly:
