"Aren't you going over?"
Jiang Henian looked up at He Jinshan and asked quietly.
He Jinshan stood in the shadows and glanced at the threshing ground with a yellow light in front of him and more and more people gathering.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Henian was a little surprised.
Could it be... that he sent me here specially?
Seeing He Jinshan frowning, she looked down at his slightly bent right leg and understood what was going on.
I guess I was tired from walking, and seeing how crowded the place was, I changed my mind and decided not to go.
His legs couldn't stand for long, and he didn't know how long this village meeting, which was about something unknown, would take. It would be better not to go, so as to avoid being bumped into.
"Then go back and be careful. Don't walk too fast. If you feel any pain, sit by the roadside and rest."
Jiang Henian lowered his eyes and explained in detail, still a little worried.
Under normal circumstances, with such a serious injury, it would be impossible to walk freely in just ten days. It would be a miracle if others could sit up and move their legs.
Although there are many special circumstances involving them that cannot be explained by common sense, we cannot be careless in case there are any sequelae.
She stood there muttering to herself, completely forgetting who was in front of her, who had picked her up steadily and walked all the way back to the house, who had kissed her until she was out of breath, and who was still able to catch her steadily when she jumped up.
He Jinshan had a barely perceptible smile on his face and raised his chin towards the rest of the road ahead.
"Can you see that short section clearly?"
Jiang Henian nodded. With some light shining, she could see the road.
"Sanya?"
"What are you standing there for? Where have you been? Come here now!"
A fierce voice.
Jiang Henian immediately took a few steps back, put his hands behind his back, waved goodbye quietly, and walked towards the threshing ground before Wang Chunfang came over to cause trouble.
She and He Jinshan were standing so close to each other, and no one could see them. Otherwise, in this era, even eight mouths wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
He Jinshan leaned against the shade of a tree with his arms folded, his cold gaze sweeping over the peasant woman who had a ferocious expression when Jiang Henian approached.
The threshing ground was crowded with people.
Some people were squatting on the firewood, chatting while biting their pipes, some were munching on steamed buns, some were twisting straw ropes, some were holding babies in their arms, and some were eating with their bowls and squatting on the curb to eat. It was very lively...
Jiang Henian ignored Wang Chunfang's glare and walked straight to the edge of the tree where there were fewer people and leaned against it.
She didn't want to go and get scolded. Either she was scolded for not going home to feed the pigs and shovel manure after work, or she was scolded for having her work points deducted again today. It was the same few words over and over again, and she was tired of it.
After she resisted and fought back several times, Wang Chunfang, the wicked stepmother who always picked on the weak, could only speak.
It is said that ever since Jiang Yanqiu broke off the engagement, the atmosphere in the Jiang family has been weird.
Jiang Chengmin smoked with a gloomy face every day, Wang Chunfang scolded everyone she met like she was in menopausal mania, and his daughter-in-law Lu Shuying was so angry that she refused to leave the house holding her son. Jiang Yanqiu, who had successfully broken off the engagement, also had a sullen face every day and was often scolded by Wang Chunfang.
It seems that they have no idea where to return the 100 yuan betrothal money to the He family, so they are secretly plotting something.
Jiang Henian smiled.
It's good, no one bothers her.
Everyone has a bright future.
…
After waiting for a while, the village party secretary Zhang Likun put down his teacup and stood up to speak amid Ding Guangsheng's exaggerated welcome speech.
It was called a village meeting, but in fact it was just a formal occasion where a red lacquered table was moved from the team office to the threshing ground.
Everyone is used to it.
When the branch secretary was speaking, I stopped working a little and stuffed all the steamed buns into my mouth as a sign of respect.
"...Shuiquan Village suffered heavy losses from the wolf attack this time. Four cows died, 15 sheep were lost, eight pigs were mauled to death, 38 chickens and ducks were mauled, and 30 livestock were injured. One villager was killed and five were injured, yet only three wolves were killed. This is the worst wolf attack in Wulin Town in the past 40 years, and it must be taken seriously!"
Wulin Town is a small mountain town located in the north of China. There are three villages in it, Huagou Village, Caojia Village, and Shuiquan Village. The town center is outside the mountains more than ten kilometers away from the village.
All three villages are adjacent to Wuling Mountain.
Wuling Mountain is not a single mountain, but a series of mountains. No one knows how far or deep it is, or where you can get to if you turn it over, because everyone who has ventured deep into it has never returned.
The outer mountain area closest to the village is not very dangerous. People usually go to the outer mountains to collect firewood. If you are lucky, you can pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms and eat some game.
However, after crossing the outer mountains, few people dare to go further in. The trees inside are so tall that they block out the sun. Not only is it easy to get lost, but poisonous fog may also appear at any time and place, which can cost one's life if one is not careful, not to mention the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts hiding in the deep mountains.
A long time ago, hunters would go into the mountains to hunt in shallow waters, but since a well-known old hunter disappeared in Wuling Mountain more than ten years ago, few people dared to take the risk.
Decades ago, there were wolves around here. They all ran down from Wuling Mountain. They had green eyes and were all extremely ferocious.
Later, when disasters struck, wolf extermination operations were carried out everywhere. The remaining wild wolves were forced back into the mountains and have not been seen for many years.
For some reason, they have been appearing more frequently recently. At noon today, a pack of wolves even appeared and rushed into the village to hunt, as if they were starving.
In less than half a day, all the surrounding villages knew about it.
Now that we had specially held the meeting at night with lights on, everyone was a little worried and started discussing it.
