Chapter 111 The Wild Wolf Comes Knocking
The night grew deeper.
Cheng Wanwan taught her second son a good lesson, and Zhao Ergou seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
His mother imagined many situations, and they all turned out to be traps. If his mother had not demonstrated them in advance, he would definitely have fallen into the traps.
It doesn't matter if he gets cheated, he just fears dragging down the rest of the family.
A bottle of wine was drunk unknowingly, his head felt a little dizzy, and when he stood up, he stumbled and almost rolled down the hill.
Cheng Wanwan pulled him back in time.
"Mom, I think I'm really drunk..." Zhao Ergou pressed his forehead. "I saw a lot of green eyes."
Cheng Wanwan supported him and laughed, "Nonsense, who has green eyes? Come on, I'll help you walk home."
It was already very late at this time, and the bonfire burning in the distance had gone out. Dahe Village fell into a deep sleep, with only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the woods and the chirping of insects and birds at night.
Zhao Ergou looked into the distance: "Right over there, one pair, two pairs, three pairs, four pairs..."
He spoke with such conviction that Cheng Wanwan looked over as well.
You wouldn't have known if you hadn't looked, but once you did, you were shocked. Sure enough, they were bright green eyes, four pairs of eight eyes, which were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
"This is a wolf..."
Cheng Wanwan gasped.
Zhao Ergou sobered up instantly. He stared wide-eyed into the distance and exclaimed, "It's...it's a wolf! It looks like it's heading towards our house. Everyone must be asleep. I'll run back and wake them up!"
He rushed up and down as he took a step.
Cheng Wanwan grabbed him.
Rushing back at this point would alert the wolves, and the frightened wolves would certainly attack humans.
The wolves in the mountains of Dahe Village have never come down from the mountain and have always kept to themselves with the villagers. Why did they suddenly come down from the mountain and head towards their homes this night?
Could it be for the chickens and ducks at home?
If the wolves come specifically to steal chickens and ducks, there is no need to be too nervous. Once they are full, they will naturally leave.
But what if?
Cheng Wanwan touched Zhao Ergou's sleeve and found a fire starter inside.
She whispered, "Light a fire first. The wolves will run away when they see the fire. Don't panic, stay calm..."
Zhao Ergou nodded and immediately bent down to pick up hay. It hadn't rained for a long time, so the hay would catch fire as soon as it touched the fire.
Cheng Wanwan found a thick piece of wood, wrapped some dry grass around it, lit it, and slowly approached her yard with the torch in hand.
The hill was at the end of the village, not far from her yard. After walking for a while, she arrived at the gate of the yard. The yard was so quiet that even the screams of chickens and ducks could not be heard.
Zhao Ergou nervously grabbed Cheng Wanwan's hand, shielding his mother behind him, and said in a trembling voice, "Could these wolves be hiding, waiting for us to come back?"
Cheng Wanwan lowered her voice and said, "Wild wolves are smart, but not this smart."
"Waaaaah..."
Suddenly, Xiao Hei's whimpering sound rang out in the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, Big Black also started squawking, and the chickens and ducks became restless.
After a while, the door to the main room opened, and Zhao Dashan came out of the room with sleepy eyes, mumbling, "Is it mother who is back...Oh my God, what is this?"
He saw one, two, three, or four wolves lying on the ground and was so frightened that he backed away.
He looked up and saw Cheng Wanwan holding a torch outside the courtyard. He exclaimed in terror, "Mother, there are wolves in the house, four wolves..."
Cheng Wanwan frowned and walked in holding a torch.
On the ground in the yard, four wolves lay sprawled out, with Little Black clinging to a female wolf, whimpering incessantly.
The mother wolf stuck out her tongue and licked Xiao Hei's body. Her pair of green wolf eyes fell on Cheng Wanwan with a cold and vigilant look.
Cheng Wanwan glanced at the courtyard wall, feeling incredibly fortunate.
She took back the electrical wires and solar panels that had threatened Zhao Fugui last time and buried them in the yard wall, covering them with dry grass. They were only big enough to be placed in the front yard. If a wolf came in through the front gate or jumped in from the back yard, it wouldn't be electrocuted at all.
The electric current was quite strong; the fur on several wolves was singed, but they didn't faint. Those four pairs of green eyes were particularly terrifying in the night.
"It must be Dad protecting us!" Zhao Ergou walked in and said with a thick tongue, "Brother, quickly get the knife and kill these four wolves to prevent them from harming the villagers."
"Waaaaah!"
Little Black stood in front of the mother wolf, and the little guy revealed his fierce nature.
Cheng Zhao's expression was solemn: "Second Aunt, Xiao Hei is not a dog, it's a wolf. There's a female wolf here with milk, she must be Xiao Hei's mother."
Cheng Wanwan was startled. She bent down and scooped up Xiao Hei, and after a closer look, she realized it really was a wolf.
What incredible luck she has! She actually managed to find a wolf while climbing the mountain.
As she held Xiao Hei, the mother wolf lying on the ground tried to stand up several times, but having just been electrocuted, she had no strength at all. She stared fiercely at Cheng Wanwan, wishing she could pounce on her and snatch her cub back.
Little Black nestled in Cheng Wanwan's arms, licking her fingers with its soft, wet tongue, whimpering as if pleading.
Cheng Zhao said slowly, "Wolves are social animals and hold grudges. If you kill one, an endless stream of wild wolves will come looking for you."
Zhao Dashan was at a loss: "The wolves already know to come to our house. What if we let them go and they come back again?"
Zhao Sidan said, "The mother wolf is probably looking for her cubs. If we release Xiao Hei as well, they shouldn't come back."
He reluctantly pulled Xiao Hei into his arms, and Xiao Hei nestled against his neck, whimpering.
Cheng Wanwan had watched some documentaries about wolves. They are extremely ferocious animals that can hurt people and hold grudges. A pack of wolves can have dozens of members. If these four are killed, the remaining wolves will definitely come looking for them.
She said, "You guys each carry one wolf up the mountain and throw them in. Little Black should also be released in the mountains."
Zhao Dashan nodded, and he and his brothers bent down and carried the immobile wolf on their shoulders up the mountain.
They dared not venture too deep, fearing other wolves might be waiting there, so they left in a dense forest and hurried home.
Cheng Wanwan got up in the middle of the night and buried electrical wires in the backyard wall to enclose the entire house. She turned off the power during the day to avoid injuring anyone and turned on the security at night. She could blame Zhao Youjin for anything that happened. It was perfect.
She slept very well in the latter half of the night.
Before dawn, Cheng Wanwan got up.
She yawned and went into the yard. Wu Huiniang had gotten up even earlier and was sitting in the yard washing clothes. Originally, everyone was washing their own clothes, but Wu Huiniang insisted on helping Cheng Wanwan wash them together. Cheng Wanwan couldn't argue with her, so she had no choice but to go along with her daughter-in-law.
She went to the door to open the courtyard gate, and as soon as she opened it, a strong smell of blood hit her.
She looked down and was so frightened that she took a step back.
Damn, why are there so many dead rabbits and a dead squirrel in front of her house? They all had bloody gashes in their throats and died instantly.
"Waaaaah!"
A small ball of fluff emerged from beside a pile of prey.
It was Xiao Hei, tugging at Cheng Wanwan's clothes and acting cute, with a hint of smugness on its face.
