Chapter 1284 The Young Lady’s Choice (29)
But even so, Feng Yuan couldn't help but pour cold water on Yu Hanshang again: "Alright, just take a quick look, be careful not to be unable to pull your eyes away. Chu Zhiqing cares about you just to thank you, and you still..."
"But she praised me!" Yu Hanshang didn't even give Feng Yuan a chance to finish. "Uncle Feng, you were in the room just now, so you didn't hear clearly. Mingyue praised my good physique."
Hearing Yu Hanshang addressing Chu Mingyue, Feng Yuan instantly got a headache—Okay! Just a few words and Yu Hanshang was coaxed into this?
It turns out that the iron tree's unmoved appearance before was just a show for the villagers, right?
Now that I have someone who suits my taste, I don’t even need to pretend anymore!
"Let's go! Uncle Yuan, before it gets dark, let's quickly get some wine and head up the mountain to ask the locals about the situation." Yu Hanshang saw Feng Yuan's thoughtful expression and thought he was worried about the wolf pack in the back mountain. "Don't worry, he knows a lot about these things. He will definitely find a way."
Feng Yuan didn't say that he wasn't worried about the wolves. After all, they were just a group of wild beasts. If all else failed, he could only...
However, he did not explain it, because Feng Yuan knew that Yu Hanshang would not agree to do such a thing.
Then the two men took the wine and hurried to the mountain people's residence.
They are called mountain people, but in fact they are a group of people who hid in the mountains to avoid disaster in the early years.
I heard that they were a famous and powerful family before they moved to the mountains. Later, when the Qing Dynasty invaded the country, these people fled to the mountains with their families.
They have rarely come out for hundreds of years and have basically been self-sufficient.
At the beginning, people living at the foot of the mountain didn’t know there was such a group of people. It was not until some daily necessities were no longer available in the mountains that they saw people going up the mountain to buy them.
Walking all the way to a small mountain stream, Yu Hanshang and Feng Yuan entered a cave, and then walked about a few hundred meters before they felt their eyes brighten. Looking at the villagers who were cultivating crops, Yu Hanshang breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, Yu Hanshang is quite familiar with these mountain people in this village, but even so, he can't always find the right place every time he comes.
He even suspected that the passage of the cave might contain some kind of mechanism. When the mountain people wanted to see him, they would let him in, and when they didn't want to see him, they would close the passage.
This time it went so smoothly, probably because...
"You're here, why are you bringing me any wine?" A kind-looking old man with a white beard walked towards the two of them. "But I'm in good health, old man. I can definitely drink this wine, hehehe!"
"Uncle Zhu, actually I came here today to trouble you with something." Yu Hanshang roughly recounted what happened last night. At first, Uncle Zhu's expression did not change.
It wasn't until he heard the dead wolf cub's hind legs limp that his expression changed slightly: "Xiao Yu, are you sure that cub is dead?"
"Hmm! The body is limp, but not cold yet. It must have just died!" Yu Hanshang recalled the previous situation and emphasized it again, "And I saw that the leader wolf that chased after it didn't come back. It must have taken the body back with it."
Old Man Zhu rubbed his brows, intending to teach the other party a lesson: "That wolf cub you threw out probably isn't dead!"
"Really? In that case, wouldn't it be easier to resolve?" After hearing this, Yu Hanshang felt a little confused, but still very happy. After all, as long as there were no casualties, the conflict wouldn't end in a fight to the death.
Tapping the pipe in his hand, Old Man Zhu glanced at Yu Hanshang before saying, "There's an idiom called 'wolf in cahoots'. Have you ever heard of it?"
Yu Hanshang and Feng Yuan nodded.
"There are three explanations for this Bei. One is a cunning fox, the second is an extinct monster, and the third is..." Old Man Zhu poured a glass of wine that Yu Hanshang had just brought, and then said, "It is a wolf cub that was born with a disability.
I heard a few years ago that there was a crippled wolf in our mountains, and it was said to be very smart. It seems that it was the one you caught that day."
"What should we do then?" Feng Yuan had obviously heard some of the things, and his expression inevitably became nervous.
"Don't be impatient. Having something like this around might not be a bad thing." Old Man Zhu took a sip of his wine and said, "You want to negotiate peace with the wolves, but it's impossible to explain. After all, they are inherently aggressive and will seek revenge if they suffer a loss.
It is different from the wolfdog; it can be persuaded by using benefits. So, are there any sheep in your village?"
Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are some, but they are from the brigade. We..."
"Then get one you can manage yourself." Old Man Zhu patted Yu Hanshang on the back again and said, "Let him lead the sheep up the mountain, and then tie it before him so that the wolves can crawl under the tree."
As if he could see their confusion, Old Man Zhu added a few more words: "Xiao Yu has confronted wolves before. They know that Xiao Yu is not afraid of them. Only by letting him go can we resolve this matter with the least cost."
