"There's movement... There's movement..."
Everyone stood at the highest point, gazing at the distant mountains. They had never imagined the magnitude of the noise.
“That’s…that…”
The sharp-eyed person pointed with trembling fingers at the figures not far away. Each one was so conspicuous, with no signs of concealment at all.
"Wolf King..."
Everyone gasped as they watched the wolf king, a figure significantly larger than the pack, in the distance. They all saw the wolf king's dark gray fur, powerful build, and fierce gaze. No one had expected such a stare to be so terrifying.
"Wolf... Wolf King..."
"Oh my God! It's so scary, so scary. Just a glance made me feel the threat of death."
"Yeah! I don't dare to look the Wolf King in the eye."
"Well, I don't even dare to look."
Listening to the wolf howls in the distance, everyone felt the tension and excitement of a life-or-death situation. Shen Chenfeng looked at the distance with a serious expression, knowing that this was the wolf pack's communication.
"I hope...I hope they don't come over."
"It seems we should avoid going to the back mountain from now on. There are so many wolves. It would be terrible if we were to encounter one accidentally."
"Yes! From now on, let's turn the back mountain into a forbidden area!"
There was no need for them to go to the back mountains for that little bit of food. The wolves were starting to claim their territory, so they shouldn't be so foolish as to venture into the wolf's territory. Wolves were the most vindictive, and the animals in the mountains were all selected by nature. Survival of the fittest.
"From now on, don't go to the back mountain!"
The village chief sighed and looked at all the villagers present. This time, the Wolf King had come to claim their territory, and they had to treat it seriously and carefully.
"Well...I'm not going."
"Never again."
"Yes! I won't go there again. Even if you give me the courage, I won't dare to go there."
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they wouldn't dare go again. These days, even if times get tough, they can still support themselves. There was no need to put them in danger just for a small area in the back mountains. Besides, that was a wolf pack, and they weren't stupid enough to go against a pack that worked together as a team.
As the night deepened, the howling of wolves continued to rise and fall, and everyone was on edge for three hours. When it finally quieted down, the mountain fell into silence again.
"Is this...over?"
I couldn't believe it was over, so I asked my companions, "Is it over? Does it mean it's over?" Could they finally sleep peacefully?
"It should be over."
"I think so! I don't know either."
"It's quiet now, it should be the end."
It was quiet, the clamor and wolf howling had died down, so I figured nothing was wrong. From now on, just be careful not to provoke these beasts. Wolves are vindictive and petty, and provoking them is like provoking a creature even more formidable than a villain.
"Well, it's over. The wolves are dispersing. Let's go home!"
Hunter Shen Wushu nodded, took a puff of his pipe, and felt a lot more relaxed. It was over, and he could finally rest assured. He no longer felt so anxious. Everyone could go home and rest, no need to worry anymore.
"What's going on? The wolves haven't come down the mountain, have they?"
Miao Guihua looked at her husband who had returned home. The whole family was awake, waiting for news.
"No, don't worry! The village is safe now. However, we need to keep an eye on the children during this period. Don't let them go to the end of the village or the back mountain. From now on, the back mountain will be unsafe, so let the children play in the front mountain."
The area behind the mountain has been allocated to the wolf pack, and their range of activity needs to be reduced. Regardless, the safety of the children is paramount. Over the years, the number of children in the village has been decreasing.
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry! Xiaofeng, Xiaolei, Xiaoyu and the others are all very obedient."
His own child is very worry-free. The back mountain has been occupied by wolves. He is not allowed to go there again. "Don't talk about the child. You can't go to the back mountain again. Do you hear me?"
Her husband reeked of blood, and he had killed many of them. If the wolves started to bear grudges, the mountain behind would become a forbidden area for the mountain dwellers.
"I know. Don't worry! I'm not that stupid. Besides, there's not much else around us except mountains. There are plenty of resources too. It's just that one mountain has been occupied."
Shen Chenfeng had also thought about this, and he had already made his own retreat plan. Mountain people have always seen blood, so if they really had to fight wolves, they wouldn't be so afraid.
"Dad...wolves, are they scary?"
"Wolves...are the most insidious and cunning animals. In the future, if you encounter a wolf when you grow up, don't be afraid, because wolves also bully the weak and fear the strong."
Head-on resistance isn't the right approach; outsmarting is better. Chen Chenfeng held the children in his arms, sat on the bed, and began to tell them bedtime stories. He told them stories about his own experiences and stories he'd heard from others. Little by little, the children grew more and more energetic, curiously asking a million questions.
Miao Guihua sat mending clothes, occasionally listening to the stories. The family leaned against each other, enjoying this moment of happiness. Chen Yun thought he would remember this moment for the rest of his life, how warm and happy it was. All the memories of his past life faded from his mind like a dream.
She wanted to forget her past life, forget the past, and start anew. Because, her name was Chen Yun, the daughter of Chen Chenfeng and Miao Guihua. She was no longer the nameless Chen San Ya from her previous life, nor was she the woman with a miserable fate. Now, she was very happy. She had a loving father and mother, and three brothers who cared for her.
With the low voice of Shen's father, Shen Yun gradually fell into sleep. The dream was sweet, without the pain of the past.
"My sister fell asleep..."
"He slept so soundly and even smiled..."
"So pretty, my sister is so pretty."
The three little kids, attracted by Chen Yun's sleeping posture, couldn't help but come closer to each other and look at their sleeping sister. She was really cute. No matter how they looked at their sister, she looked cute.
"Okay, my sister is asleep, you should go to bed early too."
Miao Guihua tapped the children on the head twice, signaling that it was time for them to go to bed. It was so late, and if they didn't go to bed now, they probably wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.
"Don't spoil the child, let's go back and rest!"
Miao Guihua put away the needlework she was doing and blew out the candle.
