Shouting through a loud speaker: "Wolf, wolf, run!"
Of course, her purpose was not to make everyone run away, but to remind them to prepare tools and fight to the death.
The people of Qingshan Village suspected they were hallucinating, but they were not sure whether they were completely sure. They hurriedly got dressed and went to check, only to see that the wolves had indeed entered the village.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "There's a wolf, there's a wolf, the wolf is coming!"
In fear, his voice was split!
Chi Xingyue knew that he couldn't go back today, otherwise the source of the siren would be exposed.
Ling Jiheng and I prayed silently for the villagers to escape danger. Listening to the noises in the village, I felt powerless.
Ling Yi and his companions were afraid of sudden heavy snowfalls and slept lightly at night. They were awakened the moment they heard the noise.
I ran out of the house in horror, wondering what kind of object could make such a sharp and loud sound.
It was not until the next sentence - the wolf came - that they realized something was wrong. They left half of their men at home to protect the elderly and weak in the Ling family, and the rest gathered their weapons to help the villagers.
They were all skilled fighters, and the villagers worked all year round, so they had a lot of strength. It didn't take long for them to control the situation.
Except for a few people in the east of the village who suffered heavy losses when wolves jumped into the courtyard wall, the battle ended without even a fight between most people.
Song Lizheng and his men arrived late, and when they saw the eleven wolf corpses on the road, they were so scared that their legs went weak.
I couldn't help but sigh that it was a good thing that the Ling family was there, otherwise, half of their village would have been destroyed.
Thinking of this, he bowed to Ling Yi and the others. The villagers who were rescued knelt down, their faces filled with gratitude, yet still filled with fear.
Ling Yi hurriedly helped the man up, waved his hand, and went back.
Since they were not short of food, they would not compete with the villagers for these fierce and precious foods.
As soon as I stepped into the Ling family mansion, the old lady asked me about my well-being: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Ling Yi shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. We are back safely and unharmed. It's freezing outside, why did you come out? Go back and rest quickly, don't catch a cold!"
The old lady nodded and asked Xiao He to help make a bowl of ginger soup for them: "You too, have worked hard!"
***
Seeing that there was no movement in the village, Chi Xingyue took Dahei and Ling Jiheng into the space.
The only difference is that one was placed in the wide field outside, while the other was trapped in the somewhat cramped meeting hall of the village committee building.
"Okay, let's rest for two more days, completely clear ourselves of suspicion, and then go home."
Ling Jiheng nodded, took off his heavy cotton jacket, and told Chi Xingyue to go wash up. After sitting on the sled all day, his legs were a little sore and swollen, and he felt cold all over his bones.
Chi Xingyue was the same. She could be lazy when riding in the carriage before, but the sled was so small and it was open air. She finally understood how Ling Jiheng felt.
Your ears can be frozen off and your hands are out of control.
However, they dare not come into direct contact with hot water for fear of poor blood circulation and tissue necrosis.
Chi Xingyue went outside to get a basin of snow, and rubbed her hands and ears with Ling Jiheng in the bathroom until it was no longer so cold.
Then let yourself "thaw" at room temperature until your body has adapted before taking a shower.
The warm water flowed over his skin, and Chi Xingyue let out a sigh of satisfaction.
After a while, it was Ling Jiheng's turn to come out and he had the same feeling - it was great to have space, it was a gift from God.
He dried his hair and went to sleep, then let it get messy. It was not until late the next night that Chi Xingyue released the carriage, piled the gifts he had prepared on the carriage, and let the gifts fully absorb the cold air. Then he soiled his clothes and hair, pretended that he had just returned, and hurried home.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and the sound of it clattering woke up several families on the roadside.
They thought it was another wolf pack attacking, so they all grabbed their weapons and went out to fight, only to find out that it was a horse-drawn carriage.
But who would come to the village in the middle of the night? Is he sick?
They looked at each other and decided to stop him and ask him some questions, hoping he wasn't a fugitive or something.
As he got closer, he said, "Wow, isn't this the second young man from the Ling family? You're back? It's been such a long time!"
Ling Jiheng bowed and said, "Yes, uncle, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
"What's good about that? A wolf broke into our village last night. You didn't know that wolf..."
The man was about to say something when he was stopped by his neighbor.
"Ling boy, you should go home and rest. It must have been a tiring journey. We can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say!"
Ling Jiheng retracted his surprised gaze and bowed, "Then I'll go back first. I'll visit my uncles another day."
After saying that, he whipped the whip and headed towards the Ling family. His speed was not very fast, and the wheels slipped a little on the snow.
However, not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Ling family mansion.
Ling Jiheng got out of the car and knocked on the door. Even Chi Xingyue came out of the car and moved to the side.
"Who is it?" Butler Ling's full-throated voice came, and Ling Jiheng quickly replied: "Butler Ling, it's me, Jiheng!"
"Who?" Ling Chuan seemed to have heard the voice of his second young master, and hurriedly slipped on his shoes and opened the door to check.
Ling Jiheng, wrapped tightly in a blanket, stood at the door, looking exhausted.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, you're finally back. The old man and the old lady missed you so much!"
After saying that, he went to knock on the gate of Rongsiyuan: "Old Master, Old Madam, the Second Young Master is back, the Second Young Master is back!"
The sound was so loud that it woke up several people who had just fallen asleep.
The old man, the old lady, and other people in the big house hurriedly got dressed and got off the kang. Xiaohe and Shunzi also opened the courtyard gate as soon as possible.
Ling Jiheng helped Chi Xingyue down and had the carriage brought back to the courtyard. He put the things in the carriage into the wing room and made arrangements after he woke up tomorrow.
Shitou followed his orders and went to do it. Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue bowed to the two elders: "Grandfather, grandmother, your grandson (granddaughter-in-law) is back!"
The old lady glanced at Ling Jiheng, then patted Chi Xingyue. "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. You've lost weight, you've lost weight. Thank you for all the hard work along the way."
Chi Xingyue nodded, thinking to herself, "That's just hard on Ling Jiheng. He's been sitting there in the conference room, not moving, and he's gained a few pounds!"
When the old lady saw Chi Xingyue nod, she felt so distressed that she almost cried.
She asked Aunt Taohua to serve the two of them food, and Xiaohe said, "Hurry up and tell the second room to light the kang, and have Baozhu heat the stove, and Erzhu heat the water."
Oh, and cook in the small kitchen too. I'll send it to Qingfeng Courtyard later. Are there any cakes in the wing room? I'll give some to Xingyue to fill her stomach first!"
Geng Suhua heard this and hurried back to the house to get some cakes. Seeing the two men's "tired" expressions, she knew that this trip was not easy.
"Mom, why don't you let Ji Heng and Xing Yue go back and rest first?"
The old lady hadn't seen her beloved grandson for such a long time, so how could she let them go back so easily?
He glared at Geng Suhua and said, "Why are you going back? The stove is cold. Eat first before you leave!"
Her face softened instantly after she finished speaking: "Grandma doesn't know when you will be back, so she asked Taohua to make some more and keep it warm in the pot. Wait, it will be ready soon!"
