Worried about wolves coming down the mountain and cattle rioting, Ye Chen'er could only pull Sheng Lijuan and run into the inner room.
Sheng Lijuan lives in the city, and her knowledge of the sound of wolves comes only from textbooks.
Seeing Ye Chen'er so nervous now, her legs went weak with fear, and she felt even more sorry for her daughter, wondering how she had survived those years.
The two stayed in the cowshed for most of the day and thought everything was fine. Just as they were about to open the door to go home, the wolves started howling again, mixed with the roars of tigers.
Hearing the tiger's roar, the cow paced restlessly in the cowshed, making Ye Chen'er even more worried.
Sheng Lijuan felt like she couldn't breathe, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Ye Chen'er quickly helped her mother into the room.
"Mom, Mom, relax, it's okay. Nan Nan will be here to rescue us soon," Ye Chen'er comforted her.
Hearing that Nan Nan would be coming, Sheng Lijuan was indeed much more relaxed. She always believed that Nan Nan was a capable girl.
Night had fallen. Ye Chen'er found an oil lamp, lit it, and began searching the room again, thinking that she would need a weapon in case a wolf rushed in.
After searching high and low, all I found was a rolling pin. Oh well, having a rolling pin is better than having nothing at all.
Looking at the starless sky, I knew I would have to spend the night in the cowshed. Luckily, I had a blanket, otherwise I would have frozen to death.
As dawn broke, the two men, trembling with fear, prepared to open the door and return to the Yan family home.
There was a knock on the door, and Yan Xiaonan's voice came from outside: "Aunt Sheng, Chen'er, are you inside?"
It turned out that when Ye Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan went out, they told Grandma Yan that they would take a walk around the village, and if it was early, they would go to the town for a stroll, and if it was late, they would stay overnight in the town.
They assumed the mother and daughter had spent the night in town since they hadn't returned last night.
So when Yan Xiaonan returned, he quickly told her about it, and Yan Xiaonan frowned.
"Dad, there's no problem with Mushroom Mountain. Go talk to the village chief and I'll go check in town."
As soon as Yan Xiaonan stepped out of the gate, his consciousness spread out, searching for Ye Chen'er's aura. A familiar aura came from the cowshed, so he hurried over.
Upon hearing Yan Xiaonan's voice, Ye Chen'er stumbled and ran to open the door.
As soon as the gate opened, Yan Xiaonan channeled the mountain god's energy into the two restless oxen, and in an instant, the oxen calmed down.
"Nan Nan, quick, my mom isn't feeling well, come and take a look."
Yan Xiaonan's mountain god aura swept over Sheng Lijuan, and sensing that Sheng Lijuan had relaxed, he quickly stopped his practice.
Sheng Lijuan isn't a hero; it's best to be cautious.
He took two heart-protecting pills out of his pocket and put them into Sheng Lijuan's mouth: "Auntie, my grandma takes these when she has heart problems, so I always keep them on hand."
Sheng Lijuan felt calmed down when she heard Yan Xiaonan's voice, and felt a warmth spread through her body, making her breathing easier.
She knew she was too nervous, but as soon as Nan Nan arrived, her tension completely dissipated.
The three of them returned to the Yan family home together, where Village Chief Ma was already waiting in the main room.
"Nan Nan, are you alright yesterday? The wolves on the mountain haven't howled like that in a long time. I wonder what happened."
“Uncle Village Chief, Zhongnan is dead, and the wolf pack is choosing a new wolf king.” Yan Xiaonan choked up a little.
"What? Zhongnan is dead? Will Mushroom Village be in danger from now on?" Village Chief Ma wasn't worried about the wolf pack coming down the mountain because Zhongnan was on the mountain.
But now that Zhongnan is dead, will Mushroom Village still be safe? Should we take any measures?
"It's alright, the new Wolf King is Beifeng, the grandson of Zhongnan, they won't come down the mountain," Yan Xiaonan said, shaking his head.
Village Chief Ma breathed a sigh of relief and guessed, "Nan Nan, you saw it with your own eyes."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Everyone in the village knew that Zhongnan was raised by the Yan family, so only members of the Yan family dared to go up Mushroom Mountain.
Now that Mushroom Village has been contracted out to Beinan, no one else is allowed to go up the mountain.
Since Nan Nan said there was no problem with Mushroom Mountain, then there must be no problem. Village Chief Ma left reassured; he was going to comfort the villagers.
Grandma Yan kept crying, regretting that she hadn't gone up the mountain with Nan Nan to see Zhongnan.
Zhongnan and that little squirrel saved Nannan's life, and just like that, they passed away without her even getting a last glimpse.
Yan Xiaoqiang was also uncomfortable, even though he himself liked the wolf very much.
Fu Bao didn't quite understand. She blinked her big eyes and asked softly, "Mommy, who is Zhongnan?"
Xuemei rubbed her red eyes and said, "He is your uncle, the youngest brother in our Yan family."
"Ah, how come I've never seen him before? Isn't Uncle Bei Nan the youngest uncle?" Fu Bao was a little confused.
"The North and South are not the smallest; the Central and Southern regions are the smallest."
Xue Mei saw Yan Xiaonan as a child, standing beside Zhongnan and loudly announcing, "Yan Zhongnan, my younger brother."
The North and South were not convinced, and as a result, they were almost bitten by the Central and Southern regions, which scared them so much that they wet their pants.
How happy those were! Zhongnan was so young yet so ruthless. He must have been a magnificent wolf king when he grew up. It's a pity he's gone.
"Nan Nan, why is the current Wolf King called North Wind, not South Wind?" Yan Xiaoqiang remembered that his daughter had said it was South Wind.
“Dad, Nanfeng is too old to be the wolf king anymore, while Beifeng is the wolf king who truly fought his way out of the pack.”
Yan Xiaoqiang understood; even the wolf king needed to be replaced.
"I need to take a shower. Aunt Sheng and Chen'er are also here. They hid in the cowshed all night yesterday and must be hungry."
What?! Grandma Yan and the others were stunned. Didn't they say they were going to town?
Yan Xiaonan briefly explained it to Yan Xiaoqiang, who regretted not knowing that the two women were in the village and could have picked them up when he returned from the back mountain.
"Nan Nan, I've prepared the hot water. Go take a shower. Aunt Sheng, Chen'er, I'll go get some food. After you eat, you can go take a nap too," Xue Mei said.
Sheng Lijuan felt a little embarrassed, realizing she had caused trouble for her in-laws.
Xuemei ran into the kitchen and soon brought out food and soup, which smelled deliciously hot.
Ye Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan were really starving, so they picked up their bowls and started eating. Xue Mei's cooking was really good.
The village loudspeaker blared, and Village Chief Ma's voice was heavy with grief: "I have some sad news to tell you all. The wolves howled so loudly last night because Yan Zhongnan, the wolf king of Mushroom Mountain, is gone."
The villagers were shocked. No wonder the wolves in the mountains had been howling so loudly from yesterday to this morning. It turned out that Zhongnan had died. Was Mushroom Village in danger?
The village chief continued, "Don't worry too much, everyone. The current wolf king is Zhongnan's grandson, named Beifeng. Remember that."
With the village chief's guarantee, the logging team opened the gates and started working, the villagers went to work in the fields, and the children went to school or played. With the north wind blowing in Mushroom Mountain, what was there to worry about, even though none of them had ever seen what the north wind looked like?
Yan Xiaonan stood at the entrance of the village committee: "Uncle Village Chief, please make arrangements. I want to build a real primary school in the village, and I will cover all the expenses."
Village Chief Ma jumped to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief.
