Chapter 223 Everyone is scared
Some villagers lowered their heads and stopped talking.
If we were patrolling the village on a normal day, they would definitely have no objection.
But this time it's a pack of wolves.
Zhu sat there without saying anything. She knew very well that this was not the time for her to speak, so she just had to listen.
"Village chief, this isn't a solution," said Quan Ergou's grandfather. "The wolves didn't enter the village last night. If they had entered tonight, the consequences would have been disastrous."
The village chief rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Do you think I haven't thought of a solution?"
He pointed forcefully at the villagers who lowered their heads and said, "Look at these people. They are just thinking of using the lives of other people's children and grandchildren to protect their own families."
"Thinking that others are stupid is a great kindness."
These people were embarrassed and blushed.
"Village chief, this, this is really too dangerous." A villager said hesitantly.
It aroused the approval of others.
"A wolf in winter can kill a person with one bite. Who would dare to let their own child go there?"
"Not to mention a pack of wolves. Last night, the screams gave me the creeps."
The village chief was too lazy to say more. "I still say the same thing. Since no one is willing, don't expect anyone to help you when the wolves enter the village."
After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently, "Get out, get out."
Zhu was the first to stand up and walk out. She had to go back and talk to her family about this matter.
As for the rest, let’s wait until we figure out why the wolves appeared in the village last night.
As soon as she left, many villagers followed her.
But some villagers stayed.
"Village chief, please think of a solution. If the wolves really enter the village tonight, it will be a disaster."
"Village chief, you have to help us. We are all from the same village."
The village chief became increasingly impatient and angrily said, "You guys want to live, but I don't want to live either?"
"People whose consciences have been eaten by dogs are not afraid of shortening their lives."
Older people are very concerned about their lifespan. After hearing this, they dared not speak anymore, for fear that their lifespan would be shortened.
Younger people don’t care much about these things, but they dare not say anything about them either.
They didn't want to really offend the village chief.
the other side.
As soon as Zhu returned home, she saw Old Man Mu standing at the gate: "Let's talk about it when we get home."
The two of them walked in one after the other, and Old Man Mu closed the gate.
"Is the baby awake?" asked Mrs. Zhu.
Mu Laodi said, "No."
"It's winter, and children don't wake up so early. I guess it'll take a while."
"Do you have something to do with the baby?"
Zhu lowered her voice, "Didn't a pack of wolves come to the village last night?"
"I want to ask the baby what happened last night."
Mu Laodi said, "Then wait until the baby wakes up, ask her."
"By the way, what did the village chief say?"
Zhu curled her lips, "What else can I say?"
"The village chief wants to organize the young men in the village to patrol at night to prevent wolves from entering the village."
"However, some people in the village disagreed, saying they were worried something might happen to their sons."
"As if no one is worried about their own son."
Father Mu was not surprised by this. "It has always been like this in the village."
“When there’s something dangerous going on, there’s always a group of villagers who are unwilling to do so and only want to take advantage of it themselves.”
Zhu said, "As long as the village chief hasn't made a decision, we don't need to worry about it. We can just take care of our own family."
"Later, tell the eldest, second, and third brothers to be more careful at night."
Father Mu agreed and said, "I'll tell the kids when they get back from their business in town."
In the winter, the family does not farm, and the children all go to the town to do business, hoping to earn more money.
Zhu had no objection. "I'll go around the village and see if I can buy some more vegetables to store."
"The children at home can eat it, so we need to store more vegetables in these vegetable shops."
Mu Laodi hummed, "You have to save more."
"By the way, see if you can buy some meat. Buy more meat."
Zhu said, "I know."
As the two were talking, they heard the voice of Mu Baobao.
"Grandma, what are you talking about?"
Mubaobao's clothes were in a mess, and he wore whatever he wanted to keep warm.
Seeing this, Zhu quickly carried her back to the house and changed her clothes.
Then, give her a wash and feed her breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhu asked about the matter: "Baby, the wolves came to the village last night, and Xiaohua was a little strange."
"Can you help grandma ask Xiaohua what happened last night?"
Mu Baobao patted his chest and assured, "Grandma, don't worry, I will find out everything."
After saying that, she ran to the kitchen.
Since the weather has been getting colder, Xiaohua and Xiaobai no longer go into the mountains and stay by the stove all day long.
At this moment, Xiaobai and Xiaohua were staying by the stove.
Xiaohua was huddled in the stove as usual, and Xiaobai was lying next to it.
When Xiaohua and Xiaobai saw Mu Baobao coming, they looked at her lazily and continued to lie there.
Mu Baobao squatted in front of Xiaobai and Xiaohua and asked, "Xiaobai, Xiaohua, why did the wolves come to the village last night?"
Xiaobai patted the ground with his paws and then called out softly.
Baby Mu nodded from time to time, his little face full of shock, and he made wow-wow sounds.
Countless question marks popped up in Zhu's head. What was the baby saying to Xiaobai?
After Mu Baobao finished talking to Xiaobai, he came to Zhu and said, "Grandma, Xiaobai said that the wolves came down the mountain last night because there were bandits trying to enter the village."
"Bandits?!" Zhu's tone rose a notch, filled with panic. "Why would bandits come to our village out of the blue?"
He is a bandit who does all kinds of evil.
Baby Mu clenched his fists and said angrily, "Those bandits are targeting our house, and a mouse told the animals in the mountains."
"The animals in the mountains decided to send wolves to deal with these bandits."
"These bandits are so bad!"
At this point, she tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, what are bandits?"
When Zhu heard this, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted. It turned out that bandits wanted to rob her house?
Her face turned pale and her legs went weak, "Old man!"
When Father Mu heard the noise, he hurried to the kitchen and asked, "What happened?"
Zhu grabbed his hand and told him what happened in a trembling voice.
As she spoke, she actually started to cry out of fear, "It must be because we haven't been paying enough attention lately that we were targeted by the bandits."
She couldn't imagine what her home would be like without the help of animals.
Old Man Mu was also very scared, but he was slightly better than Mrs. Zhu.
He helped Zhu sit on a low stool, breathing heavily, "You're right, it must be that our family has been too ostentatious recently."
"From now on, our family can't be so ostentatious."
This time they attracted bandits, but who knows what they will attract next time.
"Grandpa, grandma, what's wrong with you?" Baby Mu had no idea what was wrong with his grandparents.
