When Feng Lingyu woke up from his sleep, it was already afternoon.
Hearing her movement, Gao Xiaotao also climbed up from the kang.
As for Huaiqing, he was still sleeping soundly in his room holding Tuanzi.
Cubs need more sleep to grow.
Feng Lingyu winked at Gao Xiaotao, signaling her to speak in a low voice so as not to wake the child.
The two of them tiptoed out of the door. They wanted to go out and see what was going on.
At this time, people in the village were cleaning up their homes, especially the collapsed walls and damaged doors and windows.
Nowadays the weather gets colder from time to time, and there's a heavy snowfall. If the house is not repaired quickly, people will freeze to death at night.
Ma Dafu, the barefoot doctor in the village, is very busy. Some families have people bitten by wolves and need him to treat the wounds.
Fortunately, the weather is cold now, so the possibility of the wound becoming infected is very small.
Yang Jianguo and accountant He Pengcheng were going door to door to count the villagers' losses.
When he saw Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao, his eyes lit up, "Feng Zhiqing, Gao Zhiqing, you are here!"
"Village Chief Yang, how is the situation in the village?" In front of outsiders, Feng Lingyu always called Yang Jianguo the village chief.
"Alas, many villagers' chickens, pigs and sheep were bitten to death. Fortunately, the village's cows were fine, otherwise, the spring plowing next year would be very tiring." Yang Jianguo said in a deep voice.
"The situation here is so serious. If we report it to the commune, maybe the state will provide some subsidies." Feng Lingyu calmly made a suggestion.
Qingshan Village was hit by a wolf disaster, and ultimately the leaders above are also responsible.
Last time, a wolf killed someone in Qingshan Village. The higher-ups sent people to kill the wolves, saying they had already wiped out all the wolves. But now, something bad has happened again...
If Feng Lingyu hadn't attracted the wolves to the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain last night, who knows how many people would have died in the village.
Yang Jianguo's eyes lit up. Feng Lingyu actually came up with a good idea.
No matter how much subsidy is provided from above, a mosquito is still a piece of meat.
"Okay, I'll go to the commune and cry tomorrow!" Yang Jianguo joked.
"There is one more thing. The wolves came down the mountain last night probably for revenge. Our village is so close to Xiaoqingshan, so we should take more precautions on weekdays. If something like this happens again, the villagers will have more time to react and won't have to be as hasty as last night." Feng Lingyu suggested.
Yang Jianguo was puzzled: "Revenge?"
"Have you forgotten the last time we surrounded and exterminated a pack of wolves? Wolves are the most vindictive. Our village is not the only one around here. Why did they attack our village alone? I can't think of any other reason except revenge."
"What you said makes sense. It seems that our village has arranged people to be on duty at night..." Yang Jianguo seemed to be thinking about something.
When I was a kid and was fighting bandits, the village would arrange people to patrol every night.
"Who to find, how to implement it, and the salary issue, Village Chief Yang needs to consider carefully."
"Okay, I understand."
Yang Jianguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for Feng Lingyu, everyone in the village would have made money. I'm afraid their village wouldn't be able to survive this year...
"Brother!" a timid voice sounded.
Seeing the person coming, Yang Jianguo's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"
"Brother, Zhaodi was bitten by a wolf. She would die if she is not sent to the hospital..." Yang Jianye walked up quickly and said anxiously.
But before he could finish, Yang Jianguo interrupted him coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"
Yang Jianguo just didn't understand. Last night, Yang Jianye left him and his son to die without helping them, so why did he have the nerve to come to him today?
"Brother, how can you say that?" Yang Jianye looked at Yang Jianguo in disbelief.
"Didn't your wife say that? Everyone has their own destiny!" Yang Jianguo took a step back, avoiding Yang Jianye who wanted to hold his hand.
He Pengcheng, who was watching the fun, raised his eyebrows. Wasn't Yang Jianguo very good to his brother? Now... were they breaking up?
Yang Jianye was at a loss and began to mutter: "Brother, Zhaodi is really dying, you have to save her, she is your brother's wife, brother..."
The people in his family are useless. At this time, he doesn't know who to ask for help except Yang Jianguo.
Yang Jianguo looked at his younger brother with disgust. Why didn't he realize before that he couldn't understand what people said?
"Where's Dahua?"
"What?" Yang Jianye was confused by the question.
"I'm asking about your Dahua?" Looking at Yang Jianye's expression, you can tell that he has never remembered that he has a granddaughter.
Thinking of Dahua being thrown out by his own wife to feed the wolves, Yang Jianye felt guilty and stammered, "Dahua was unlucky. She was accidentally eaten by a wolf last night..."
Yang Jianye didn't dare to tell the truth. If he did, not only his eldest brother, but also other families in the village would have opinions about them.
Although some families in the village favor boys over girls, no one would do such a hurtful thing as throwing their children out to feed the wolves.
After hearing Yang Jianye's answer, Yang Jianguo was extremely disappointed and even felt disgusted with his younger brother.
"Do you think no one knows what you did? I didn't tell you the truth to save your face! Sun Zhaodi was bitten by a wolf, but she didn't know that this might be God's punishment for her!"
Yang Jianye’s face turned pale. How could his elder brother know about this?
He gritted his teeth and decided not to admit it! Dahua had been eaten by the wolf anyway, so there was no evidence.
"Brother, what do you mean? I don't understand... Zhaodi is in danger now. Dahua is already gone. I can't just watch Zhaodi die, brother!"
Yang Jianye spoke with sobs, acting like a good grandfather and a good husband.
Seeing him acting, Yang Jianguo fell into deep self-doubt.
Is this the brother who has always been an honest man in my mind?
I have been deceived by his appearance for so long!
In the past, Yang Jianguo thought that his brother was too soft-hearted and that it was that woman Sun Zhaodi who was trying to sow discord between them.
Now it seems... the one who hides the deepest is my good brother!
Yang Jianguo closed his eyes deeply, and then said word by word: "For so many years, I have misjudged you..."
He Pengcheng, who was watching, sneered in his heart. Yang Jianguo was a straightforward person, but his younger brother was very cunning.
When he was a kid, he suffered a lot from that bastard Yang Jianye when he played with him.
Only Yang Jianguo, a big fool, cared about the blood relationship and always believed that Yang Jianye was his obedient brother.
Although he didn't know what happened last night, it was a good thing that Yang Jianguo could now see Yang Jianye's true face.
"Brother..." Yang Jianye wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yang Jianguo who raised his hand.
"You don't have to act crazy with me about what happened last night."
