After the village chief checked in the township, he found that everything was fine, so Zhou Bin drove his tricycle to take him home.
As soon as he arrived at the village entrance, Zhou Bin felt something strange.
The whole village was quiet and there was no one on the streets.
The wind and snow had subsided a lot by this time, but every household had their doors closed and no one was around.
Ah Niu asked curiously, "Brother, what's going on? Why are all the doors closed?"
Zhou Bin shook his head. He didn't know why no one came out.
As soon as everyone arrived at the village chief's house, they found Liu Junyi, Zhou Dexing, Wang Quanwa and Grandma Liu's nephew standing at the door shivering.
Ah Niu asked hurriedly: "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Liu Junyi saw the village chief coming back and hurriedly shouted, "Let's go in first."
Several people helped the village chief into the house, and Zhou Defu asked, "Dexing, what can I do for you?"
Zhou Dexing said in panic: "Third brother, something big has happened!"
The people present were all startled, not knowing what had happened.
Zhou Dexing told everyone about his grandson, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Grandma Liu's nephew quickly told the story of Grandma Liu again, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
Zhou Defu said with a serious expression: "It seems that there are wolves in the village. It has been so many years and there has never been such a thing!"
Zhou Dexing also sighed: "Yes, who would have thought that wolves would run into the village? I remember when I was a child, wolves often came up. At that time, there was nothing to eat, and wolves came up to steal children."
Ah Niu's eyes widened as he asked, "Did a wolf really come up and eat the baby at that time?"
Zhou Defu paused and said, "That's not true. The wolves back then were much more ferocious than they are now."
Then he told a story about his childhood. It was a time of war and chaos. One year there was a famine in the village. Everyone was starving, but there was nothing to eat.
He had two friends, one was about his age, about six or seven years old, and the other was a year older than them.
Since there was nothing to eat, they would wander around the village in groups all day long to see if there was anything to eat.
They have eaten everything from wild grass roots to young grass sprouts and even Guanyin soil.
Sometimes, if you happen to find a few bird eggs, it is a gift from God.
That day, which was the afternoon of late spring, the three men ran to the ditch to look for food.
They lowered their heads and searched carefully to see if there were any edible things such as dandelions and mallards.
Xiaobachui is a kind of wild grass there. The root below looks like a small mallet and tastes sweet.
Several people were walking aimlessly along the ditch. Suddenly, a child saw a small field of mallets not far away and was immediately overjoyed.
Several people immediately lay on the ground and started digging with their hands. As soon as they dug out the grass roots, they were about to put them into their mouths.
Suddenly Zhou Defu screamed, because he didn't know when a huge wolf with bloodshot eyes appeared behind them.
It was glaring at the three people fiercely, ready to pounce at any time.
The three kids were so frightened that they just stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Zhou Defu was young and was so scared that he wet his pants.
An older child immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid! Hide behind me and run!"
Zhou Defu had no idea what this sentence meant at the time. He just instinctively hid behind the child.
The other child grabbed his arm tightly and trembled with fear.
But strangely, the wolf just stared at them and didn't pounce on them.
So the children retreated cautiously, but as soon as they retreated, the wolf followed them immediately, growling.
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not move, and the confrontation began again.
The older child suddenly found a stick on the ground and immediately picked it up and held it in his hand.
When the wolf saw this, it immediately bared its teeth and issued a threatening sound.
Zhou Defu was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at the beast. He instinctively turned his head to the side.
Suddenly, he saw three wild wolves appearing at the bottom of the ditch. He was terrified!
He immediately shouted: "Down, there are wolves below!"
The other two children looked down and saw that there were indeed three wolves running up.
The older children immediately shouted, "Run!"
Then they understood why the wolf didn't pounce on them. It was waiting for other wolves to come and take them all out.
The older child yelled, and Zhou Defu was so scared that he ran away. When the wolf saw that the three kids were trying to escape, it immediately pounced on them.
The older child took a stick and started waving it around wildly.
The wolf didn't dare to pounce on them for a while, so Zhou Defu and another child ran for their lives and finally escaped from the wolf's clutches.
But the older child did not catch up. Finally, the adults in the village went out together and finally found him at the bottom of the ditch.
Unfortunately, his stomach had been eaten empty, leaving only a pile of bones and some tattered clothes.
When the child's parents saw the result, they cried their hearts out.
Later, with the comfort of the villagers, she reluctantly stopped her grief, packed up the child's belongings, dug a hole and buried him.
There were originally two children in his family, but now there is only one left.
"That man was Li Yukun's brother, and he has been dead for decades." Zhou Defu recalled with regret on his face.
Ah Niu was stunned when he heard this. He said in surprise, "Are you talking about Mr. Li Si's brother?"
Zhou Defu nodded and said, "Yes, that's his brother."
