The villagers in Dongsheng Village began to feel insecure, and everyone started to reinforce their walls.
Those who did not have walls or fences began to reinforce their houses.
Wooden boards and strips began to seal the windows, and everyone living in the mountains knew about it.
Wolves are social animals. If they come down from the mountains in winter and taste blood, it means that the village has been targeted by the wolf pack.
Being attacked is only a matter of time. If you are lucky, it may not come this year but it may come next year.
In the village committee, the elders and managers of the village gathered together to discuss. It had been more than 20 years since the last wolves came down the mountain.
"My suggestion is to report it to the higher-ups and have the organization take the initiative." Accountant Li put forward his opinion.
Accountant Li seemed to have aged ten years since his wife cheated on him. He became much calmer and less radical when faced with problems.
"I don't think it's that serious. Let's not make everyone panic. We haven't seen a pack of wolves for years. Now we encounter one and we don't know what to do. It's better to wait for the public security comrades in the city to arrive and investigate first."
"I don't agree with you. If the wolves really come down the mountain, our village will be the first to be hit. Who will be responsible if something happens?"
"If you don't think so, do you have to hide in your home? How long do you have to hide?"
In the village committee, a dozen old men were arguing with each other until their faces turned red.
Finally, it was decided to distribute the only three gongs in the village, with one being sent to the educated youth station closest to the foot of the mountain. If anything was discovered, the gong would be struck to give warning.
The second gong was located at Changgui's house in the center of the village. When it was struck, everyone could hear it.
The third gong was placed in the village committee, which was guarded by three shifts 24 hours a day. When the gong sounded, they would send out a bullock cart to report the news. They would knock on the gong all the way to ask for help from the neighboring villages.
Each family should strengthen their houses and prepare ladders. If a wolf breaks into a house, rescue them immediately.
As Dongsheng Village has no electricity, the final plan has been decided. We will wait for the public security comrades to come in the afternoon to give us some advice.
It is probably unrealistic to ask nearby garrison troops to go into the mountains to hunt wolves.
The best outcome would be if a team of villagers and veteran hunters came to explore the mountains.
The guys in the backyard immediately found thick and sturdy wooden strips to reinforce the doors and windows.
Because a piece of the courtyard wall on the east side of the educated youth site was missing, it was impossible to fill it with bricks now, so we got some strong long branches, sharpened them and tied them together to make a temporary fence.
Although it may not be of any use, it's better than nothing.
It was the first time that the educated youths at the training center had acted in such unity.
However, Shen Minghua turned his gaze towards the cowshed which was less than a hundred meters away.
The place has been in disrepair for a long time, there is nothing there, and the smell of the cowshed is strong. If a wolf really gets in, it will probably be too late.
Lin Weiwan was carving wood with a knife. When he saw Shen Minghua's worried expression, he thought about the situation in the cowshed.
"Let's go to the village committee and find the village chief."
Lin Weiwan came up with this idea. Before the wolf problem was solved, he borrowed a sturdy house from the village and let a few elders live there first.
He turned around and went into the house, and took out five big reunion tickets.
"Is that okay?"
"It has to be done even if it's not possible. Being assigned to a lower position doesn't mean you have no rights. The bullpen has no defense at all, and if something goes wrong, you'll be in trouble.
The purpose of the relocation is to reform them, not to kill them. I believe the village head and the team leader understand this."
The reason why Lin Weiwan brought in Group 5 was to cover for Shen Minghua. After all, Shen Minghua had a special identity, and he might have been lucky not to be implicated.
A few people walked quickly towards the village committee. Building a house only cost a few dozen yuan.
Lin Weiwan thought it would look better if he handed the money over to the public account, and asked the government to give him some benefits in advance. This was Lin Weiwan's idea.
Things went smoothly naturally, and Shen Minghua excitedly followed Hu Xiaopang to help grandpa and others move to the village committee's utility room.
Although the houses are small, they are all made of red bricks and are solid and safe.
Ye Jibai was nailing Lin Weiwan's window with a hammer, and thought of the scene where Zhao Kaiyang got into trouble.
Nearby there were Zhao Kaiyang's footprints and wolf's prints.
However, I still found someone else's footprints behind a tree less than a hundred meters away.
Looking at the depth and completeness of the footprints, Ye Jibai guessed that when Zhao Kaiyang got into trouble, that person had been watching him.
As to why they were not attacked by wolves, this also requires further investigation and verification.
Lin Weiwan glanced at her watch. It was almost noon.
They went straight into the house and started preparing lunch. Wang Qiaoyun took out her own food and prepared it with Lin Weiwan.
The simple two-piece noodle pancake paired with winter melon soup smelled delicious when it came out of the pot. Lin Weiwan also took out a cabbage and made fried vermicelli with braised pork and cabbage.
They made some pickles and placed them on the table, and then Hu Xiaopang and Shen Minghua came back. After washing their hands and eating, the five groups gathered again.
"Everyone, don't go up the back mountain. It's not safe." Ye Jibai was the first to shout. Although some things were not very clear, he still warned everyone first.
But his eyes were on Lin Weiwan, the most disobedient one.
Lin Weiwan was looked at like this by Ye Jibai, and she didn't know whether to raise or put down her hand holding the cake.
"Yeah, I agree. The back mountain is too dangerous." Lin Weiwan nodded vigorously.
Ye Jibai: I'm talking about you.
Lin Weiwan: I understand, I understand everything.
"It's been many years since we heard of wolves coming down the mountain to hunt," Wang Qiaoyun couldn't help but say.
Her father was killed by a wolf while he was a nursing student. She was only two or three years old at that time. She heard this from her mother.
In the afternoon, while everyone was busy reinforcing the educated youth spot and making traps, Du Shanshan packed up a small baggage and rode out of the educated youth spot on a bicycle.
Looking at the figure going away, it is indeed the safest choice to leave Dongsheng Village now, but who knows when the wolves will come.
Even if you get a letter of introduction from the village chief, you can only be away for ten days or half a month at most, and you still have to come back.
"Is Lin Weiwan, the educated young man, here? He has received your letter. Ye Zhiqing, Du Zhiqing." The voice of the courier came from the door.
Lin Weiwan walked out and received a letter. Other educated youth followed him out.
Even though I didn't hear my name, I still hoped to receive a letter from home.
"Du Zhiqing has just left. You can give the letter to the village head and leave it at the village committee. We will tell her when she comes back."
Feng Yuzhen stood there and spoke enthusiastically.
Everyone knew that Du Shanshan was afraid that she would go to the city to find her boyfriend and would not be able to come back for a while.
After returning to the educated youth point, Lin Weiwan looked at the letter and opened it. It turned out to be a letter from Wang Fuduo.
The letter briefly introduced that his house was in good condition, the six-month lease had expired, and he had already collected 540 yuan from the tenant and transferred it to him, asking him to check it at the post office.
Lin Weiwan had never thought that Uncle Wang would take such good care of her. She had originally wanted to go back and collect it herself.
