Chapter 455: Wolf's Revenge
The old couple looked at each other and said doubtfully, "Could it be that the wolves are here to take revenge?"
"It wasn't just my son who was taken away by the wolf. Other children in the village were also taken away. Only my son was lucky enough to be sent back by Wong Tai Sin. The other children were all eaten by the wolves..."
The old man said: "In order to eradicate this group of wild wolves, I organized the young and strong men in the village to go to the mountains to hunt wolves, and they all killed them."
"The village has been peaceful in the years since the wolves died. As the Northern State has developed well in recent years, the young people have left, leaving only us old guys. This year, only my wife and I are left in the village."
"Could it be that the descendants of those wolves are here to seek revenge?"
The old woman was furious and said, "How many children died in the village back then? When they were found, only their heads were gnawed beyond recognition. Everyone hated the wolves so much that they can come to take revenge. At worst, we will die together and it's a good opportunity for me to reunite with my son in the underworld."
Meng Shian: “…”
The old couple seemed to be more willing to die.
"Let's go and take a look first." Jiang Ci walked out of the main room and went to the chicken coop to check.
Sure enough, there was a hole in the fence near the corner of the wall. Because it was covered by weeds, you couldn't find the hole if you didn't look carefully.
There were marks of teeth on the fence.
Jiang Ci recognized it immediately, "It was definitely bitten by a wolf's fang."
The old man frowned and said, "These wolf cubs are damned. They made me misunderstand Wong Tai Sin."
Jiang Ci pondered for a moment and said, "The wolf steals the chicken, and when the chicken is eaten, it will be the next one's turn..."
She glanced at the old couple.
Meng Shian was surprised and said, "The next ones are the two old people!"
Jiang Ci nodded: "Not bad."
"At the rate the wolf is eating the chicken, it will be their turn tomorrow night."
The old man swung his hoe and said angrily: "They ate so many children. Even if they come again, I will kill them. You want revenge, right? Come on, let's see who is stronger!"
The old woman tried to grab the hoe from his hand and said, "You are old and weak, so don't fight with the wolf. The wolf can knock you down in two moves."
"Why not feed the chicken some rat poison? When the wolf steals the chicken, it will also be poisoned after eating the chicken."
"A chicken will die after eating rat poison. Wolves are smart and will not eat dead things casually." The old man looked unhappy.
"Great Immortal, you are a cultivator and cannot kill. As soon as the day breaks, take your friends and leave."
The old lady said worriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, leave as soon as the sun rises, otherwise it will be troublesome if the wolf cubs target you."
Meng Shian said: "What will you do if we leave?"
"My wife and I have already let go of life and death. It doesn't matter." The old man smiled with relief. "I will die with peace of mind if I can get rid of those beasts who are harming people before I die."
A night passed.
When Murong Jinran woke up in the morning, she saw an old lady standing in front of her with a bowl in her hand.
"Girl, you must be hungry. Drink this bowl of soup and get on your way."
When Murong Jinran heard this, the blood in his body instantly rushed backwards, and he screamed in fear: "Ah ...
"I don't want to drink Meng Po soup, I haven't lived enough!!!"
Her screams attracted Meng Shian.
Meng Shian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you howling like a ghost?"
"Ghosts crying?" Murong Jinran screamed even louder, "Are we really dead?"
"Is this the underworld?"
"Wuwuwuwu, it's all my fault. I killed you all..."
She burst into tears.
The old lady said with embarrassment: "Girl, you must have fallen asleep. You are not dead. You are at my house."
Murong Jinran was puzzled.
Meng Shian nodded and told her about how she fainted as soon as she landed yesterday.
Now it was Murong Jinran's turn to be embarrassed, "I'm sorry, old man. I, I might have just fallen asleep."
"It's okay, drink this soup first, and you guys can leave quickly later."
The old lady handed her the chicken soup.
Murong Jinran asked as he drank, "Where's Master Jiang?"
"Master Jiang has gone to the back mountain to wander around." Meng Shi settled down and said to the old lady, "I think Master Jiang will not leave."
The old lady was surprised and asked, "You're not leaving? Then when the wolves come to take revenge, what will you do?"
"Immortal cultivators cannot violate the precept of killing, right?"
"Anyway, we won't sit and watch you two old people die in the wolf's belly." Meng Shian said with a smile.
The old lady couldn't persuade him, so she had to go to the old man to find out about the rat poison he had put on the chickens.
The old man looked at the mountain behind the house, with a little more hope in his eyes, "The Immortal may have her own considerations. If she can help us completely eradicate these wolves, it would be the best. Although there is no one left in the village, one day someone will come here to return home. Without the wolves, the danger will be reduced by half."
Back mountain.
In the dense jungle, Jiang Ci walked for more than two hours following the traces left by the wild wolves, and basically determined that there were at least three adult wild wolves and seven or eight wolf cubs in the forest.
The forest was gloomy and there were few wild animals to be seen.
It is very likely that other wild animals have been eaten by wild wolves, so they will risk going down the mountain to steal chickens.
After eating the chickens, they will naturally eat people.
When Jiang Ci was about to walk down the mountain, she keenly felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.
She turned her head sharply.
The grass and trees were lush and it was pitch black. She couldn't see anything, as if it was just her illusion.
Jiang Ci said nothing and continued walking down the mountain.
After she left, there was a rustling sound in the grass, followed by a half-yellow and half-gray weasel emerging from the grass. Its dark and deep eyes stared at Jiang Ci's departing back, as if it was thinking about something. After a moment, it burrowed into the grass and disappeared.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the morning when Jiang Ci came down from the back mountain and returned to the old couple's home.
The old man slaughtered three big fat chickens for them to eat, just one for each person.
The old lady went to see the baby Hanba, and found that she had not woken up for a long time. She touched her body carefully and found it was cold. She wondered if she had died.
Jiang Ci explained: "She was originally a corpse."
"Corpse?" The old lady's imagination was blown away. "A dead baby dug out from a corpse?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
In order to prepare for the wolf attack tonight, Jiang Ci set up a magic circle around the house during the lunch break, and told the two old people not to run around and just stay in the house.
Meng Shian solemnly promised that he would protect the two elderly people.
As everyone ate and drank their fill, night fell.
Living at the foot of the mountain, once it gets dark, everything becomes quiet and the whole area becomes eerily dark.
Jiang Ci asked the old couple to turn off the lights, and it was pitch black inside and out, blending into the darkness.
