"Okay, that's perfect!" Uncle Tai agreed wholeheartedly, nodding his head repeatedly. "That's the way it should be. Although our village doesn't have set rules, we've always shared both good and bad times. Whoever contributes should benefit. It's only natural!"
At this point, how the results of the war would be distributed was decided.
Everyone in the yard, whether they were clansmen or the chefs who came to help, were all smiling.
Money is a good thing, no one can have too much of it.
These forty or fifty wolf skins can be sold for a hundred or so taels of silver in total. It's so easy to get two taels for each person.
Thinking of this, the pain of the wound seemed to be much less.
The doctor finished his work quickly and left a lot of medicinal herbs for the women to make a soup. Each injured person had a bowl of it, which helped them sleep well at night and prevent fever.
Finally, the doctor happily went back carrying a half-grown dead wolf.
Several masters guessed that the Tai family had something to say, so they used the excuse of being tired and went back to rest.
At this moment, it was completely dark. Several torches were stuck on the wall, making the backyard as bright as day.
Perhaps they were moved, and all the men and women, young and old, fell silent.
Old Master Tai said in a deep voice, "Ever since we opened our workshop and made some money, we've been coveted by outsiders. If they come and rob us with real weapons, like the county magistrate's son did, we're not really afraid. As long as we unite as one and hold on to reason, we won't be afraid anywhere.
"I was afraid that someone would plot and plot, or use some despicable means, so I found someone I knew in the border army and asked for some veterans, including He Shan and the other ten.
"I've always told others that I was just a hired handyman, to keep it a secret and to serve as a backup for our village. Unexpectedly, I found him to be such a big help this time."
Except for a few people from the patrol team who knew the truth, most of the others were surprised and couldn't help talking about it.
"Oh, no wonder, I was saying that Brother He and his men work very efficiently, they look like soldiers."
"Me too. I asked a few questions the day before yesterday, and they said no, so I thought I guessed wrong."
"That's great. With Brother He and the others here, the village will be safer from now on."
"That's right, we are lucky to have Brother He and the others, otherwise we would have been wiped out by the wolves today."
As he was speaking, there was a noise outside the back door. It turned out that He Shan and others had rushed back.
Everyone quickly opened the door and warmly welcomed He Shan and others in, starting to talk in a flurry.
"Brother He, you're back. You've worked so hard!"
"Yes, brothers, thank you so much!"
"Without you, tonight would have been really dangerous. After a few days, let my wife stew chicken and mushrooms, and you all come to my house for a drink."
"And at my house, I even have a dried rabbit left!"
He Shan and others were surrounded in the middle and were a little uncomfortable with the sudden enthusiasm, but they were not stupid. They guessed that their identities had been announced and they didn't have to hide anymore, so they all smiled and chatted with everyone.
Master Tai San was anxious and asked loudly, "He Shan, have the wolves been driven back to the mountains? Will they come back for revenge? Wolves are the most vengeful creatures!"
After hearing this, the villagers stopped smiling and became very worried.
He Shan was holding a half-skinned rabbit in his hand. He threw it on the ground and said, "Uncle Chief, the wolves have returned to the mountains and will not come out easily. You don't have to worry. Just be more careful in the future.
"Just now, we did some research and found that there was a reason why the wolves came down the mountain this time. This skinned rabbit was soaked in a potion. The smell of this potion is not obvious to us, but it has a fatal attraction to the wolves, which easily makes them excited and irritable.
"Someone must have used this drugged skinned rabbit to gradually lure the wolves here. The skinned rabbit finally appeared in our house, which led to the wolves' attack."
It sounded like a myth to everyone. Ordinary people and farmers, who could have imagined that such a powerful pack of wolves would become as obedient as dogs and attack wherever they were pointed just because of the smell of some potion.
But there was one thing they understood and they were completely angry!
The potion rabbit was brought in by Sun Meihua!
Everyone stared at Sun Meihuaer in the corner. She had been kicked unconscious by the old man before. When the wolves came over, she just woke up and shrank into the corner with fear.
No one cared about her, and the wolves didn't bite her. Instead, they let her hide in peace.
She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to run back home, but the front and back doors were blocked by the crowd, so she could only pretend to be dead.
Now everyone was looking at her, and she could no longer hide her feelings, so she guiltily defended herself, "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Aunt Tai San and others were so angry that they went up to her, pulled her hair and threw her into the middle of the yard.
"You're such a scoundrel, you're lying!" Aunt Tai slapped him twice, cursing, "We were talking after work when you sneaked in and put the basket on the wall. We found you, and you said it was a gift, but you hid it behind your back and didn't dare let us see it.
Zhimaqiu opened the basket and the dead rabbit fell out! How could you not know? You did it on purpose!
"Yes, she did it on purpose. She brought the dead rabbit in to attract the wolves to bite people!"
"Beat her to death! This wicked thing keeps coming here to hurt people!"
"You heartless thing! How have we ever wronged you? Why are you trying to harm us like this? My three kids are waiting for me to come back, and I was almost eaten by a wolf!"
The women were also very angry. In their opinion, the daily quarrels were mostly trivial matters, at most just pulling each other's hair. How could Sun Meihua be so hateful as to call a pack of wolves to eat people!
Sun Meihua was beaten so badly that her scalp was numb and painful. She didn't know how much hair had fallen out, and she didn't know how many times she had been kicked. She felt very wronged.
She really didn't know that there would be a pack of wolves coming to eat people. When she saw the dead rabbit, she thought it was a curse, cursing the Tai family to be unlucky or lose money in business!
"Woo, woo, stop fighting, stop fighting! Woo, woo, I didn't know there were wolves!"
She burst into tears, and when she saw Chunhong and Erya standing not far away, she began to scream for help, "Da Ya, Erya, please save Mom! Mom is being beaten to death! Your brother is waiting for me to come home, wuwu, please save me."
Chunhong pulled Erya back a few steps and replied coldly, "These uncles and aunts also have children at home!"
The implication is that he is unwilling to forgive Sun Meihua's mistake and hates her for causing such a disaster!
Sun Meihua completely collapsed. She kicked away the women's pulling, rolled over, and jumped up, cursing loudly, "I told you, I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know a dead rabbit would attract wolves! If you have the guts, send me to the county government office to be punished. Even if you beat me to death, you will also go to jail!"
The women were startled and became angry at her arrogance, rolling up their sleeves and rushing forward.
At this time, Old Man Tai stopped everyone and asked loudly, "Ji Jin's wife, you don't need to be beaten, but you must explain clearly how you were wronged! Where did you get this rabbit? Who gave it to you? What does the other party want you to do?"
