However, Xiao Wang is a man who knows how to deal with things. He has a keen eye for things but doesn't talk much. He also has good ability to get things done, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get close to his father.
The old man used to have two guards around him. After he retired, he left Xiao Wang behind. Xiao Wang has no background and there is not much room for promotion if he returns. The most likely thing is that he will retire and go home in two years.
It would be different if he stayed with the old man. As long as the old man was around, he would not retire from the army. When the old man no longer needed Xiao Wang, his uncle would naturally arrange Xiao Wang's future. To put it bluntly, it was like Xiao Wang found a big tree to lean on.
Xiao Wang touched his face and said, "You three, stop looking at me like that. It scares me."
Cen Zixiang laughed: "I just haven't heard you say these things before."
"Why are you saying this? To make others sympathize with me? I think my life is pretty good right now."
That's really good. Someone will take care of his food and drink, and he can save his allowance. In the future, his boss will arrange a job for him, and he will have a place to stay for the rest of his life.
The people in the old leader's family are all good people, and they will not treat him unfairly as long as he works hard.
Chen Ye shook his head. It is said that clever people always live a good life. Just look at Xiao Wang. There was no way out, but he managed to create one for himself. Although he was not very successful, he did change his own destiny.
Chen Ye lowered his head and took a sip of soup. The moment he raised his head, he pulled out the wooden gun from his waist and fired it behind Cen Zixiang. The three people who were talking were startled.
They immediately became alert, picked up the weapons that had been kept at their sides and looked behind Cen Zixiang. When they saw clearly what was shot in the head by Ye Zi's wooden barrel, the three of them had their hair stand on end.
"Hurry up and pack up and go down the mountain," Xiao Chao walked carefully towards the fallen wolf and found that it was really dead. He quickly called everyone.
He didn't bother to clean up carefully. He poured the contents of the pots and bowls onto the fire, quickly put out the fire with some soil, and threw the pots and bowls into the backpack.
Gao Fei and Xiao Wang placed the still warm wolf corpse on the hunting rack, tied it tightly with a rope, and the four of them hurried down the mountain.
Fortunately, they encountered only one wolf. If it was a pack of wolves, they might not be able to return safely today.
They did not dare to rest along the way. Two of them pulled the prey, and the remaining two were on guard, one in front and one behind. Just as they were about to go down the mountain, they were blocked by two wolves.
It was already dark at this time. They were walking on their way with torches in hand. The four of them stood back to back to prevent wolves from coming out from other places. They just stood there facing the two wolves for a while and no one took the initiative to move.
In the end, perhaps food was more attractive to the wolves, and the two wolves attacked the people together, one in front and one behind. Fortunately, there were few of them, and with two people against one wolf, their chances of winning were still very high.
Chen Ye took out her rifle and faced the wolf that was rushing towards her. She opened it without hesitation. She didn't have many opportunities to use the rifle, but fortunately she was quite talented. At least her close-range shooting was still very accurate.
A bullet hit the wolf's head directly, but unfortunately Yi Mucang was not killed this time. Chen Ye quickly dodged and the wolf missed. Xiao Wang then followed up with a knife and slashed the wolf's neck and quickly retreated.
The wolf howled and struggled on the ground for a while before it died. Chen Ye quickly looked at Gao Fei and the others and found that although the wolf was still struggling, it would not be able to struggle for much longer because there was an obvious wound and the smell of blood was spreading.
Chen Ye was a little nervous. It was a forest at night and he didn't know if there were any other large wild animals nearby.
Chen Ye held the gun tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly. The three men were busy loading the wolf corpse and taking it away. Chen Ye quickly replenished the used bullets, fearing that he would really encounter a pack of wolves in a while.
"Leaf, hurry up."
Fortunately, they were close to the foot of the mountain, and the four of them finally got out of the forest safely. As soon as they came out, they saw the little grandfather and several others waiting here.
After all, this place is very close to the village and it is quiet at night. The wolf howling and the sound of wooden warehouses just now must have come from here.
"I'm back, I'm back. Hurry up and help get the things back first. The smell is too strong."
The four men were all covered in wolf blood. The young grandfather was holding a hunting rifle with the bullets loaded, pointing it at the woods behind Ye Zi and the others.
Following them were several elderly people with nimble legs and feet. They hurriedly put things in the yard. Chen Ye and the little grandfather followed behind and walked backwards towards their village home.
"Little grandpa, please go into the yard first." Even if the little grandpa had a wooden basket in his hand, it would not help. After all, the little grandpa's legs were not very nimble and he could not run as fast as she did.
The old man didn't object and turned around and went into the yard first. Chen Ye observed for a long time before opening the door and going home.
I can breathe a sigh of relief for now. I have to keep watch tonight, and I don’t know if these three wolves have any companions. If they do, they will easily be retaliated against.
A bonfire had been lit in Ye Zi's yard, but the light from the oil lamp was too weak. This place was close to the mountain, and the strong smell had to be dealt with immediately today.
Grandpa Luo, Grandpa One-Eyed, Grandpa Feng, and other old men who felt very weak had all waited in the yard in advance. Now they were all busy. Even the little old lady, grandma, did not sleep.
But he couldn't just work like this. Gao Fei took the hunting wood bin and went straight to the courtyard wall. If anything came down from the mountain, it would be visible from here at a glance.
This hunting warehouse was placed at my grandfather's house with the approval of the village when wolves came down from the mountains two years ago. This way, if something else comes down from here, it is safer to have a gun than to be unarmed.
Old Master Cen frowned and said, "Tell me what happened? Why didn't you find a safe place to rest in the middle of the night? Why did you run into a wolf?"
Cen Zixiang didn't stop moving his hands: "Don't mention it, we were supposed to come down today, but who would have thought that a wolf would appear while we were resting and eating, and it was already right in front of us when we found it."
"Ye Zi found it and killed it immediately. We hurried back because we were afraid that the wolf had accomplices. We ran into two more when we were almost at the foot of the mountain. If they hadn't killed them, we would have hurried back."
The young grandfather walked over and took a look at the three wolf corpses lying on the ground. None of them were very strong wolves. "These must be old wolves abandoned by the wolf pack. Otherwise, with such a strong smell of blood, you four wouldn't be able to return so easily."
"I haven't heard any wolf howling for two years. I thought the other wolf packs in the mountains had moved away after what happened last time, but it seems they're still around."
The last time a pack of wolves came down the mountain, that guy had nearly twenty wolves. After he killed them all, he kept watch for a long time. There were no wolves coming down the mountain and he couldn't hear any wolf howling, so he thought that the whole pack of wolves had been wiped out.
