"That's fine, it's better than knowing nothing!" Chen Erni agreed immediately.
Then Ning Xiaotang told Fang Zhen how to make candied haws, and Fang Zhen immediately returned to the Fang family happily.
On the way, Fang Zhen suggested
"Er Ni, are you brave?"
"I was considered very courageous when I was in Chen Village. What's wrong, husband?"
"Er Ni, if we want to succeed in this candied haws business, we have to dig up your mother-in-law's grave!"
"Ah, how can this be done?"
"Why not? I'm her biological son. You can get up in the middle of the night and we can go together!"
"I will follow my husband's arrangements!"
That night, Fang Zhen and Chen Erni dug up He Luyin's grave, and Fang Zhen took away all the valuables from He Luyin's body.
"These are quite a lot, enough for me to run a stall."
"My dear husband, please bury my mother-in-law quickly. Death is the greatest thing. Let my mother-in-law rest in peace!"
"Don't worry, I'll look for it again!"
Fang Zhen remembered that he had given all the profit from selling soap to He Luyin. At this time, Fang Zhen took out a ten-liang silver note from He Luyin's arms.
"Hahaha, I finally found it! That's great!" Fang Zhen put the banknote in his arms.
"What did you find, my husband?"
"It was pitch black, and I just touched some jewelry."
Fang Zhen did not mention the silver note to Chen Erni. If the silver note were known, wouldn't Liu Sanhong be unable to buy cosmetics?
The next morning
"Miss, Fang Zhen and Chen Erni dug up He Luyin's grave last night. Because they didn't bury it deep enough, they discovered this morning that the grave had been dug up by wild animals. The body had been gnawed to pieces, and now even the body is nowhere to be found!"
Lingkong immediately bowed.
"Lingkong, I'm just about to eat, and you're telling me this?" Ning Xiaotang immediately raised her eyes, and her appetite felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, Miss, I was wrong! Please punish me!" Lingkong immediately bowed apologetically.
"Punishment? What's the situation now?"
"The He family is causing trouble for the Fang family because He Luyin's body was eaten by a wild beast. The situation is now in chaos."
"Then let them handle it. It shouldn't be a problem for our Ning family."
"Miss, I'm afraid that's not possible. The village chief is already in the old man's courtyard discussing how to organize a group of people to hunt wild animals on the mountainside."
Full Moon Road.
"Oh, the village chief must be afraid that another living person will be targeted by the wild beast!" Ning Xiaotang immediately thought of He Luyin's death, which caused the whole village to suffer.
At this moment, the sound of a gong was heard outside: "Quick, everyone gather at the arena!"
It was the voice of Zheng Liangduo, the grandson of the village chief.
"The village chief must have called everyone to gather. Let's go out and see what's going on."
"Fellow villagers! I think everyone knows that He Luyin's grave was dug up, but it was not buried properly, resulting in He Luyin's body being eaten by wild animals. This happened in the back mountain of Ningxiahe Village.
Now, as the village chief, I'm telling everyone: Don't go to the back mountains to pick wild vegetables this winter to prevent people from being killed by wild animals!
Ning Xiaotang immediately narrowed her eyes and looked towards the back mountain: "Ling Hu, let's go to the back mountain to see He Luyin's grave and observe the situation firsthand."
Afterwards, Ning Xiaotang and Ling Hu and several secret guards went up the mountain.
When Ning Xiaotang saw some broken flesh and bones in front of the grave, goosebumps fell all over her body.
"Girl, this scene is too tragic, please stop looking at it!" Ling Hu immediately stood in front of Ning Xiaotang.
"Ling Hu, look at what the teeth marks on that flesh look like."
Ling Hu then squatted down and took a closer look before saying, "Miss, this must be a pack of wolves!"
"What? It's a pack of wolves?" Ning Xiaotang took a look and saw that there were only a few small hills blocking the way from the back mountain to the village. This meant that the wolves and the villagers had no ability to resist at all.
"Lingkong, quickly tell Ye Jingxiao that we must gather everyone to guard the back mountain tonight to prevent the wolves from attacking!"
Lingkong immediately came out and said, "Yes, girl!"
On this day, Ning Xiaotang returned to Ning's house and immediately drew a map of the location of the back mountain. She discussed it with the village chief that afternoon.
"Village chief, look, this is a small hill. We're sending strong men to block the attack. If we don't kill all the wolves, there will be no peace in the village!"
Zheng Chuyun nodded immediately and said, "Tangtang, so many adults haven't given me any advice. I didn't expect a little kid like you to come up with such a good plan. Okay, I'll go organize some people now."
"Village chief, I want Ling Hu to lead the organization this time, but the village chief will organize the strong men."
"Okay, let's do it!"
The village chief panicked again and said immediately, "It will be dark in an hour. The wolf may come out at night."
"Then we should act quickly and set up an ambush on this small hill in the back mountain today!"
Ye Jingxiao also sent out many guards under the command of Ling Hu. That night, the guards of Ye's house fought with Ling Hu and his men until midnight.
Several strong men in the village were carried back one after another, and Doctor Xu and Doctor Yuan were busy bandaging and treating the patients.
Ning Xiaotang asked Liu Lanqing and others to prepare in the empty yard outside the Ning family's gate, and cooked fragrant thick white porridge in several large pots.
The village women were all waiting for their husbands to come home in fear, but some of them came back with injured legs, buttocks or heels.
"The women in the village, please don't all cry and wail.
Now we just need to find a way to properly treat the injured, and we all need to work together!"
Now, no one in the village is blaming anyone at this moment, simply because if the village chief hadn't immediately discussed countermeasures with my Ning family, I'm afraid the village would be full of wolves by now."
The village women all wiped their tears and ran to help Doctors Yuan and Xu.
At this moment, Ning Xiaotang said worriedly, "After this bloody showdown, I really hope there's a heavy rainstorm to wash away the blood. Otherwise, no one will dare to live in Ningxiahe Village anymore!
The whole village is facing the situation of being homeless!"
At this time, all the women in the village perked up and immediately ran to get the small medicine stove to boil medicine to bandage the wounded.
Because there were only Yuan Dahui from Ye's house and the village doctor Xu in the village, they saw that the village women finally stopped crying and each of them bandaged their wounds carefully with tears in their eyes.
On the hill halfway up the mountain, Ling Hu and the guards of Ye Zhai fought with all their eyes red. There were fewer and fewer wolves around the Wolf King, but the Wolf King remained as calm as before.
At this time, Ye Jingxiao and Xu Qingfeng were in the deep mountains and said, "Master, why are the Wolf King and the wolf pack not here today?"
"How strange!" Ye Jingxiao was also very surprised.
