Jian Dan wasn't sure what it meant by the wolf leaving. Anyway, the way Lin Jianshe looked at her before leaving felt like he was looking at a dead person. Even after going down the mountain, Jian Dan still couldn't figure it out. Was it just like that, or what did it mean?
It is said that wolves are the most vengeful animals. If a wolf turns back, it is either to repay a kindness or to seek revenge.
They've already caught its cubs; if they really let it go so easily, I simply don't believe it.
When you turn back, if there's no gratitude, then it's definitely revenge!
Thinking about it this way, Jian Dan felt terrible. Wouldn't that make her a ticking time bomb?
Noticing that she seemed a little tense, Cheng Jin turned around and asked,
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Wait a minute, we'll be home soon."
"No, Uncle, I suddenly remembered something. If this wolf comes back for revenge, will it be able to find the right person?"
"Won't this harm innocent people?"
Cheng Jin paused for a few seconds before continuing. What does it mean to be able to find the right person?
That statement seems a little off.
"Normally, yes, animals are very sensitive to human scent, especially for things like this. Their memory is exceptionally vivid, almost as vivid as a dog's."
Even if we meet again in a few years, I might still have some kind of stress response to this person.
But the village is a densely populated place, and wolves are not kind-hearted creatures; they are wild and won't spare anyone who is innocent.
What's wrong? Are you worried?
Simple, eyes half-closed.
"If I had known it would come down the mountain again, why would I have saved it? Wouldn't it have been better to let the wolf take revenge on the spot?"
If I go down the mountain again, I'll only cause trouble for others.
Cheng Jin sensed that the little girl didn't seem to like this person. Her words and actions showed no concern whatsoever; instead, she was more worried about dragging others down with her.
Thinking about it, I asked it out loud.
"What's wrong? Did this educated youth offend you?"
He simply scoffed; he didn't have the guts, but with his elders present, they were his support. He might as well open his mouth and complain.
"Uncle, you don't know, he's just a useless coward."
You know I was engaged to someone, right? It was him.
Cheng Jin suddenly stopped.
"What? You're engaged?"
The killing intent immediately arose.
"Yes, my grandfather and maternal grandfather ordered it back then, but who knew it would be such a product? My mother left a few days ago and couldn't wait to go to their door to cancel the engagement."
He just went to the countryside a few days ago and was trying to get on my good side, huh? I kicked him away in one go.
"puff!"
Cheng Jin's chest heaved with laughter.
"Then why did you come to save him?"
A simple, mournful sigh.
"I originally wanted to come and take a look, but who knew I'd run into a bunch of terrible teammates."
Those stupid dogs found him on the mountain and insisted on dragging me along. Sigh, I didn't want to go, but they just ran into the mountains without a care in the world, not even knowing what they were doing. Seeing others eating meat, they started howling, all grumbling and complaining, thinking they were so capable too.
Cheng Jin didn't understand the term "pig teammate" at first, but after hearing it explained, he roughly understood that it meant someone who dragged the team down.
"Luckily, the engagement was called off. Let me tell you, you're still young. You can't rush into finding a partner."
"You can't hire someone like that. He can't even protect you; you'll have to rescue him. What's the point of having him?"
Thankfully, it wasn't pressure to get married, but Jian Dan quickly expressed her opinion anyway.
"I won't look for him. I'm perfectly fine on my own. Why would I come back and have to take care of him? What's the point?"
"With that time and energy, wouldn't it be better for me to eat and drink something and rest?"
Cheng Jin wholeheartedly agreed with this.
It's no wonder that male and female elders think differently.
Women tend to think more about finding a good family to rely on while they are still young.
Men don't think in this way. When it comes to this, they become critical of everyone, only finding fault with their own children. They can find a lot of faults in any boy.
The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
The father-in-law, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.
Cheng Jin had already put himself into this tragic role and was secretly planning to guard against it at all costs.
Dozens of miles away, Cheng Chao, still in his hospital bed, suddenly sneezed. He felt a chill down his spine. What was going on?
The conversation drifted to this topic, but Cheng Jin was already considering how to deal with Lin Jianshe.
It's definitely not okay to leave them hanging around right under the child's nose.
In addition, there's the potential threat of wolves holding grudges, so we still need to find a way to get rid of them.
The unconscious Lin Jianshe was completely unaware that his fate was about to take a major turn. He was being carried by two people and had no idea what day it was.
As they walked out, their spirits relaxed, and fatigue set in. They bounced up and down on Cheng Jin's back, and before they had gone far out of the deep mountains, they were already snoring softly on Cheng Jin's back.
Cheng Jin became even more careful, lifting his feet lightly and landing slowly, afraid that she would slip. He bent his body slightly and tightened his grip on her.
Lin Dongfang looked exhausted.
"Uncle, how about I carry you for a while?"
With so many people, including some elders, Cheng Jin quickly shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about gossip.
"No need, no need, hurry up and go. She's tired, let her sleep for a while, don't wake her up."
Lin Dongfang nodded without saying anything. Ling Weidong behind him was waiting for him to take over so that he could switch people later. But the opportunity was gone.
Jian Dan was truly exhausted. She didn't even notice when she was put on the kang (a heated brick bed) all the way home.
After settling everyone in, Cheng Jincai came out and told Liu Weimin about the situation on the mountain and his simple concerns.
"We saw the wolf den. Although it was fierce, it didn't harm anyone, so we can't hunt it indiscriminately."
On the contrary, it was Lin Jianshe who stole the wolf cubs. When the cubs came looking for them, he deliberately refused to return them and even harbored murderous intent, which caused the wolves to become agitated.
"If we hadn't acted decisively, knocking Lin Jianshe unconscious and rescuing the wolf cubs, we all would have been in serious trouble today if the wolf had become enraged. And if the wolf pack had been attracted, things wouldn't be so peaceful down below."
Old Han followed them upstairs. He had just told him all this, but Liu Weimin still broke out in a cold sweat and was so angry that his teeth itched.
Having guarded the mountain's base for so many years, no one has ever dared to do such a thing.
After a winter, many wild animals are starving, and people at the foot of the mountain have to be careful to avoid them coming down to forage.
As for the cubs, they all smelled of their own kind. Humans and wild animals are natural enemies, and now that the cubs have human scent on them, they might be driven away by the wolf pack.
His scent will be remembered by the wolf pack, turning him into an enemy.
Did these educated youth, who studied for so many years, just absorb all that knowledge?
He was panting heavily, still not entirely at ease.
“I wouldn’t dare keep a youth like this. He’s only been here a few days and he’s already caused this trouble.”
If he stayed in the village, wouldn't it be easy to catch him if the wolves came down from the mountain one day?
