Chapter 21: Attack in Groups
The canal digging team originally extended from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, so the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the whole village soon knew the news.
The number of people eaten by wolves increased from a dozen at the beginning to hundreds.
The villagers panicked and ran to find the village head.
The village head had just come down the mountain and was sitting on the threshing floor, looking forward to the future. When he heard that hundreds of people had been eaten by wolves, he suddenly stood up and said in a decisive tone, "Impossible!!!"
Seeing the determined headman, everyone suddenly felt that there was still hope.
As a result, the headmaster's eyes rolled back, and he fainted with a cry.
…
The backbone of the village fell, and the whole village was in chaos.
The canal digging workers who lived nearby returned to the village one after another.
It was getting dark and everyone was waiting anxiously. Those who went into the mountains were all the pillars of their families. If something happened, the whole family would collapse.
The elderly, the weak, women and children were all crying.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone into the mountains to dig a canal!"
"My son, please don't let anything happen to you!"
"Dad, come back soon!"
…
"Don't panic, this news may not be true!" Luo Qiuyue hurried over.
She knew Ye Buwei. With him on the mountain, it was impossible for the villagers to suffer such heavy casualties.
The crying stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Qiuyue was attacked by the angry crowd.
"Such a big thing happened, how can you act like nothing happened!"
"Your son is so capable, why did he let the beast hurt people instead of protecting us?"
"Her son might be hiding away like a turtle!"
"It's because your son said there was water in the mountains that everyone went into the mountains to dig a canal! It's all your son's fault!"
"If your son hadn't set a precedent by entering Wild Bear Ridge, no one would have gone in there in their lifetime! If they hadn't gone, nothing would have happened!"
"If your man hadn't asked us to dig a canal in the mountains, so many people wouldn't have died!"
"Luo, if anything happens to my son, I will fight you to the death!"
…
The village head woke up slowly, clutching his chest and groaning, "Why blame her? Why blame the Ye family?! If you want to blame someone, blame me! I made the decision. I'm the head of the village. If I'm wrong, it's mine alone! If you want to scold me, scold me. If you want to fight me, just fight me!"
Everyone quieted down, and they didn't dare to blame the head of the village.
The village head only asked everyone to fetch water from the mountains at that time, and it was Ye Buwei who proposed to dig a canal!
Li was fooled by Ye Buwei!
For a moment, everyone looked at Luo Qiuyue with resentment in their eyes.
Luo Qiuyue sneered, "What's going on? Are you blaming me? My old Ye and my three sons are all in the mountains. Did I say anything? I know you're worried about your families and anxious. I won't bother with what you said just now! The reason I'm not panicking is because I trust my family... Ah Ping. With him around, such a big thing couldn't have happened! More than a hundred people were eaten by wolves? I wouldn't believe it even if you kill me!"
Thinking of Ye Yanping who killed the big tiger, many people's eyes relaxed.
"Just wait patiently. I don't believe anything will happen to them until I see it with my own eyes!" Luo Qiuyue said.
"I don't believe anything will happen to my boss!"
"We ask God for protection!"
Everyone knelt down on the threshing floor.
…
People from the mountains came back one after another, and the threshing ground was brightly lit. Those who saw their relatives were overjoyed, and those who didn't see them were distraught.
As more and more people returned, the village head, who had been feeling listless, stood up and started yelling, "Who the hell spread those rumors, saying over a hundred people are dead? Come out and see if I can't beat your rotten mouth with my shoe!"
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed, and those who had been crying before stopped crying. Everyone felt that what Luo Qiuyue had said just now was right.
In the end, there were still about twenty people who had not returned to the village.
Ye Yan'an and Ye Yanshun stood beside Luo Qiuyue, their expressions becoming increasingly nervous. "Mom, why hasn't Big Brother come back yet?"
They didn't know that Ye Buwei was also on the mountain.
More than a dozen families who hadn't seen their relatives gathered around, "Mother Yan Ping, do you think they'll be okay?"
"It's time to go back! Is something really wrong?"
"Wait!" Luo Qiuyue's eyes were firm.
"What are you waiting for? I'm afraid these twenty people won't be able to come back!"
Old Mrs. Huo walked over, wiping away her nonexistent tears. "Headmaster! This is a blessing. They said over a hundred people were dead before, but I was scared out of my wits!"
The village head gave her a cold look, and no one else paid any attention to her.
Old Mrs. Huo patted her chest and said, "Oh, how tragic! Fortunately, my family didn't participate in the canal digging, otherwise my family might not have come back for the New Year! Thinking about my eldest son who was almost devoured by a hungry wolf, I can't help but tremble! Being bitten to death, how painful must it be!"
Those people were already extremely worried, and after hearing what Old Mrs. Huo said, they burst into tears again.
"That's enough!" the village head shouted. "Old Huo, if you don't speak up, no one will think you're dumb!"
Old Mrs. Huo curled her lips and said, "I'm just worried about everyone! Seeing everyone so worried that they've lost their souls, I really feel bad!"
Luo Qiuyue rushed towards her with her fists raised: "Are you feeling distressed? Who can't tell that you are gloating? I wouldn't be Luo Qiuyue if I don't beat your mouth to pieces today, you old bitch with so much evil in your heart!"
"Qiuyue, you're swearing again!" Ye Buwei's voice reached her ears softly and faintly.
Luo Qiuyue turned around suddenly and saw a group of people coming towards them, many of them carrying wolves on their shoulders.
The leader was Ye Buwei, holding the snoring little ball in his arms.
“They’re back!”
"They're fine!"
The threshing floor was in an uproar.
Old Mrs. Huo was knocked to the ground by the excited crowd, falling flat on her face, and two yellow teeth flew out of her mouth.
"My teeth!"
No one paid any attention to her.
"In Heihe Village, 409 people went up the mountain today, and 409 people came down the mountain, not one was missing!" The headman announced excitedly with tears in his eyes.
Thirteen wolves were thrown in the middle of the threshing floor, and everyone looked at them with wide eyes, shocked and scared.
"The whole mountain is filled with howling wolves, how come nothing happened to you?"
There were more than a dozen vicious wolves, but no one was injured. It was simply a miracle!
"Thanks to the Ye family father and son, they killed the wolves and saved us!"
"The Ye family father and son? Yan Ping's father also... killed a wolf?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Buwei.
How can he kill a wolf with such a skinny body that he can’t even lift a hoe?
“It’s true!”
Eyewitnesses at the scene couldn't wait to share what happened with everyone, and everyone's eyes changed as they listened.
A blind man killing a wolf?
Ye Buwei is actually a hidden master?
How could such a master stay in Heihe Village for decades?
"Father Yan Ping, you are a real person who doesn't show your true identity!"
"You actually hid this from everyone for decades. Why on earth was that?"
"If you have such great abilities, why don't you ever go out?"
Ye Buwei stood quietly, with no expression on his clear face.
The village head interrupted everyone, "Why are you talking so much? Send the wolf back to the Ye family!"
Ye Buwei said, "Although Ah Ping and I killed these wolves, they are considered as the proceeds of the village's canal digging. How to deal with them is up to the village head."
"You mean these wolves belong to the whole village?" Everyone was surprised.
"yes."
"That's great! If we stew all ten or so wolves, the whole village can have a feast!"
"I heard wolf meat is delicious!"
“I didn’t expect digging the canal would yield such a big unexpected gain!”
…
Looking at those happy faces, Luo Qiuyue sneered with a straight face: "I don't agree with this!"
