After summer, I called home much less often. I figured it was either because I was in some remote mountain village and it was inconvenient for me to call, or because I was being watched closely and afraid of being discovered.
"He was leading a child, hiding here and there?"
Cheng Chao frowned deeply.
"Besides, it's inconvenient to bring a child along, and they're a big target. If something really happens, are you sure he can protect them?"
Jian Wenxiu is indeed very capable, and they all believe that his ability to succeed without a single mistake over such a long period of time is proof of that.
Similarly, having children around can be a cover, but it can also be a weakness.
Lin Zhengde shrugged.
"But you still have to listen to him, don't you know that stubborn bastard?"
Just then, another "bang" came from outside. It sounded familiar. The three siblings exchanged glances and got off the ground at the same time.
Several grown men had already stood up, and Cheng Chao had already strode out. Lin Dongfang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Jian Dan with a slight hesitation. Jian Dan reached out to call Cheng Chao back, while the two children looked nervously at the doorway.
Suddenly, the scene fell silent.
It's really quite eerie.
My simple mind went blank; I racked my brains trying to come up with an excuse to keep a few people in the house, but...
"Awoo?"
Where are they?
Simple and helpless, she covered her eyes and watched as the several grown men darted out.
"Sis, come quick, help me!"
With a sudden realization, he quickly followed them out.
"Wait a minute, don't act rashly!"
In the courtyard, there was a pile of meat on the ground in the middle. She didn't see what kind of meat it was for the time being. It was like a small mountain, a bloody pile, very conspicuous.
The two sides were locked in a standoff, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to erupt at any moment.
Oh, it should be a three-way standoff, with the innocent wolf cubs on one side.
Opposite them were three men carrying machetes and fire pokers, their faces grim in defense. Behind them were two children who had tried to break through but had not succeeded.
Then there's Lin Dongfang, who's standing at the door, trying to open his mouth to explain something.
What Jian Dan feared most was the arrival of her greatest weapon: the wolf cubs. Seeing her come out, they immediately became excited and tried to approach her.
"Awoo?"
"Simp, come here!"
"I,"
"Don't be impulsive, Brother Chao, this isn't an enemy,"
"Awoo?"
"come over!"
"Awoo?"
"Brother Chao, don't do it, don't hurt anyone!"
"Little Grey, don't come any closer!"
The wolf cub pawed at the ground, its patience running out. It tilted its head, its eyes filled with grievance as it looked at Jian Dan, wanting to rub against her.
Lin Dongfang's futile attempts to mediate, the struggling sounds of Cheng Rui and Cheng An, Cheng Chao's tense defensive shouts, Lin Zhengde's hand already on his waist, and the aggrieved growls of the wolf cubs opposite—for a moment, the small courtyard was incredibly noisy, and one could easily feel their head buzzing.
"stop!"
She suddenly shouted, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment, Cheng Chao shouted again.
"You go inside first, this is none of your business."
"Brother Chao!"
"Alright, shut up, all of you!"
"You lot, don't make a sound, step back."
Jian Dan wasn't a very patient person, so he simply put Cheng Chao and the others at bay, sent the bomb away, and then explained.
Lin Dongfang patted his chest and looked at Cheng Chao with sympathy. "You won't listen to me. Don't you even think about it? Is your sister an ordinary person? Even a wolf wouldn't stand a chance against her."
The two children seized the opportunity to break free and ran out. The natural way they hugged the wolf cub and the intimate distance they showed almost made Cheng Chao rush out. Lin Dongfang, who was next to them, reached out to stop them while giving them a meaningful look.
"sister!
Little Grey, what are you doing here? Are you stupid?
Didn't I tell you not to come over when there are other people around?
What if I get beaten up?
"Awoo?"
Cheng An reached out and slapped the large wolf's head. Lin Dongfang clung tightly to Cheng Chao.
"Calm down, calm down. It's simple, don't worry, they do this all the time."
"Let me tell you, go find Jixiang and the others, go play in the mountains, but don't keep running downhill. If the villagers see you, you'll be in danger."
Got it?
"Awoo?"
Simply rub your throbbing temples.
"Alright, let it go quickly. If the villagers see it again, it will be even harder to explain."
Just as the words were spoken, the gate was pounded on. Everyone in the yard jumped, even the wolf cub turned to look at the gate.
The group exchanged glances, and it was Simple, the host, who spoke first.
Who is it?
"Xiao Jian, it's me. I heard your brother and their boss are here, right? I wanted to come and apologize."
It was Liu Weimin, who looked directly at Cheng Chao and the others.
Cheng Chao hesitated for a moment, glancing at Jian Dan and the two cubs protecting the beast behind him, whose mouth was being covered, but ultimately didn't move.
Lin Zhengde snorted, grabbed Old Yang, and the two of them pushed open the door and went out.
"Village Chief Liu, we're just about to visit Xiao Wu, let's go together."
So Liu Weimin took them away without even coming in.
As soon as the door closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Jian Dan herself. Instantly, she felt a damp patch behind her, and a gust of wind made her sneeze.
The wolf cub shuddered, shook its head, turned and leaped onto the wall, quickly disappearing from sight.
They came suddenly, and they left suddenly.
Cheng Chao was not at ease. Looking at Jian Dan and the two silly children, he even had a worry about endless troubles and a vague sense of lingering fear.
Lin Dongfang shook his head and said in a low voice,
"Brother Chao, I advise you not to worry about too much."
