At the same time, Tian Yuzhu had staggered back to the hut.
Although she felt uncomfortable all over, she still wanted to keep an eye on Shi Zhentang to prevent any accidents.
But after all this ordeal, the effects of the medicine began to dissipate again. She finally couldn't hold up her heavy eyelids anymore, so she fell down on the kang and fell into a deep sleep.
The villagers who heard the wolf howling responded quickly.
From the commune, Kong Xingbai and the educated youth came running over with various "weapons" and holding several torches. Most of the men in the village also came out, and even the brothers Shi Weimin and Shi Weiqiang from the old Shi family rushed out with machetes and wooden clubs.
A crowd of no less than thirty men soon met in the village.
"Where does the sound come from?" Kong Xingbai was holding an old-fashioned gunpowder gun in his hand, which was probably the most advanced weapon in the commune.
The other educated youths each took a suitable farm tool.
As for the villagers, it is similar. Although they can go up the mountain to hunt every year, they mostly rely on local methods, and no one can afford a gun.
Then a villager agreed: "It sounds like it's from the Lu family's direction."
Kong Xingbai immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
"Walk."
"That beast must be beaten to death tonight."
"Yes, there are many of us. We will all attack together later. Don't be afraid of anyone."
Anyway, we have strength in numbers, and the wolves in the mountains have long been a concern for everyone. Now that so many people have gathered together, they must kill it.
Suddenly, every man was excited and rushed to the front. If they couldn't kill the wolf tonight, they would not be called men.
Unexpectedly, when the group of people whooping and shouting just reached the Lu family's door, everyone shut up...
Then, he opened his mouth wide again!!!
Just outside the Lu family's gate, on the village road, a group of wolves stood quietly in the wind and snow. They all exuded a cold aura and watched with cold eyes, like a well-trained team waiting for the arrival of the villagers.
Oh my god, this...
Man number 30 was stunned.
Everyone originally thought that it was just a wolf entering the village, just like last time.
That's much easier. Thirty people fighting one, how can it run away?
But now there are at least twenty wolves standing opposite, which means... they are not here to hunt wolves, they are here to be eaten.
In an instant, everyone was so frightened that they were stunned. Some people were so scared that they dropped the farm tools in their hands with a bang.
The only one who reacted quickly was Kong Xingbai. He immediately raised his gunpowder gun and aimed...
What followed was a long and deathly silence. The crowd and the wolves were deadlocked in the wind and snow. The other side's cold and brutal intimidation made people tremble. Some people were almost scared to pee and were already thinking of turning around and running.
Fortunately, Kong Xingbai was relatively calm. He whispered, "No one should move. If you move, you will die."
Of course, everyone has hunted before, and everyone understands that in this situation, if anyone runs away first and shows disunity, it is equivalent to telling the wolves that he is willing to be their delicacy.
As time passed, Kong Xingbai's hand holding the gun began to tremble.
But he absolutely cannot fire a gun at this moment. If he fires this gun, it will be like blowing the horn of attack.
Of course, the ones being attacked are definitely humans.
So he couldn't move and had to stay steady, his eyes fixed on the black wolf.
This beast is not dead yet?
At this moment, the black wolf suddenly stared at him coldly, then turned around leisurely. The other wolves hurriedly made way for it. After it left, the other wolves also followed and walked forward slowly.
Are they retreating?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Only Kong Xingbai gritted his teeth as he watched the wolves moving further and further away.
He was not mistaken. When Black Wolf turned around, he looked at him with extreme disdain and contempt.
Damn it, he must kill this beast before returning to the city.
Fortunately, the crisis was finally resolved. Kong Xingbai adjusted his breathing and said, "Quick, go into the Lu family and see what's going on."
Everyone then ran into the Lu family in shock, but before they could even find their feet, they were once again petrified by the situation before them.
The entire Lu family was on the verge of collapse.
There was not a single tile left on the roof, all the doors and windows were smashed, and even the kitchen and woodshed were damaged.
A chill suddenly passed through the villagers' hearts.
If the Lu family father and daughter were still alive under such circumstances, it would be a miracle.
The brave ones had already followed Kong Xingbai into the dilapidated house. They lit torches and finally found Lu Juanjuan and Lu Fugui among the messy objects.
Doctor Wei hurried forward to check his breath, and after a moment he nodded affirmatively: "He's still alive."
Kong Xingbai said, "Hurry up and save them."
It seems that there are no bloodstains on the father and daughter's bodies, so they were probably not bitten by wolves. It is more likely that they fainted from fright.
Doctor Wei pinched Lu Juanjuan's Ren Zhong first, and when she responded, he pinched Lu Fugui.
The other villagers standing by and watching looked at each other in bewilderment. How could he still be alive?
Soon, Lu Fugui woke up.
His first reaction after waking up was to hide in a corner until Kong Xingbai grabbed his arm and reminded him loudly: "Uncle, it's us."
“…”
Lu Fugui finally calmed down a bit. He looked around palely and suddenly burst into tears: "I told you, don't do bad things. There are gods watching us. God is watching us from above."
Everyone was puzzled: "..."
What bad things did the Lu family do?
Lu Juanjuan, who woke up next to her, also looked dazed, which aroused suspicion.
Seeing that the house was no longer habitable and fearing that Lu Fugui's words would have a bad influence, Kong Xingbai asked several villagers to immediately send the father and daughter to the commune to stay for one night, and everyone else could go home.
Just like that, everyone quickly dispersed and went back home in groups.
Shi Weiqiang and Shi Weimin also hurried back home in fear.
It was not until this time that Shi Weiqiang realized that Shi Zhentang was not in the crowd at all.
He couldn't stand this, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Brother, second brother is a soldier after all. Such a big thing happened in the village, and he didn't even get up to take a look. His awareness is too low!"
Shi Weimin didn't want to say more to him: "Walk faster, aren't you afraid that the wolves will come back?"
"Yes, yes, go faster."
The two followed the other villagers and hurriedly trotted towards home.
Kong Xingbai, who left later, took a few educated youth to inspect Lu's house inside and out.
After watching it, I just felt fear in my heart.
The tiles on every roof were blown off, not a single bottle or jar in the house was intact, even the cabinets were smashed to pieces, and clothes and quilts were torn into strips.
The kitchen was also gutted, and there was no trace of the smoked meat that farmers used to hang over the fire pit.
Even the oil can in the cupboard was broken.
What is going on here?
Kong Xingbai and Dr. Wei exchanged glances. The current situation of the Lu family did not seem like they had entered a pack of wolves, but rather a group of bandits.
They really couldn't figure out what the wolves' purpose was.
If they really just wanted to steal those pieces of bacon, would it be necessary for so many wolves to come out together?
But if the intention was to harm the Lu family father and daughter, why were they unharmed?
