Chapter 25: Wolves in front and behind
"County Magistrate, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the indenture."
Wen Meijiu finally had a chance to get a word in. The county magistrate suddenly realized what was going on and immediately said:
"It's just a small matter. I'll let Master take it with him."
"County Magistrate, I believe what you say, but I don't trust Mr. Wang. He must give a written testimony."
"I'll let him write it right away. Are you relieved about that?"
The county magistrate was afraid of complications, so he agreed immediately.
Afterwards, according to Wen Meijiu's request, Wang Yuanwai wrote a letter of guarantee to Liu Xianggong and Wen Meijiu, and the two of them then went out the back door with a nervous look on their faces.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Wang Yuanwai snorted coldly. The old lady stood aside angrily. The county magistrate sighed and said:
"Uncle, be content. Our family is not the only one that is rich. Many people hate us because they didn't fill the vacancy of the Minhuang County Magistrate. We can't make any mistakes.
"I am in this position, and you can still do whatever you want. If I step down, there is no guarantee that others will help you to settle the score. Aren't you afraid?"
These words shocked Wang Yuanwai, and it made sense.
That bandit is indeed not easy to deal with. Today is just bad luck for him. Just consider it as a loss to avoid disaster. If you want to get it back, there are plenty of ways.
An hour later, at the agreed place, the master arrived on time and handed all the things to Wen Meijiu.
After the lawyer left, Wen Meijiu gathered everyone together and divided the silver and the indenture.
Everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowed to her and thanked her for saving their lives.
Everyone dispersed, and finally only Mr. Liu was left. She gave him five hundred taels.
Liu Xianggong refused at first and said:
"It takes money to fight the bandits, so keep it, girl."
Mr. Liu was really stubborn, and Wen Meijiu couldn't tell him directly that he had cheated her, so he gave her three hundred taels. After all, in this matter, the lawsuit was filed in someone else's name.
Later, everyone went up the mountain together, pretending to have exchanged their relatives from the bandits, and went back home with their children. The matter ended there.
**
The road down the mountain is extremely rugged. This location was chosen because the terrain here is dangerous and bandits rarely operate in this area.
All the people who were traveling together lived in the villages in the west, except for the Wenmei restaurant family who lived in the village in the north. As a result, they parted ways with everyone else halfway.
It was getting dark, and Wen Meijiu and her brothers and sisters had not yet walked out of the mountains. Her brothers and sisters gathered on both sides of her, following her nervously.
"Sister, I want to eat white steamed buns."
It was dark, the road was slippery, and the hungry brother Lanling couldn't help but whisper.
They stayed in the mountains for the past two days, and all their food and drink expenses were taken care of by the Liu family. Because they were grateful for Wen Meijiu's help, the meals consisted of white flour buns with stir-fried vegetables.
They were all kids from poor families, they had never seen such a scene before, they all tried their best to stuff the food into their stomachs.
Suddenly, no one was taking care of him when he went down the mountain. He hadn't adapted to the situation for a while. It was natural for a child to be greedy, after all, he was only five years old.
"What are you eating? My sister has sold herself. Do you want to drink her blood and eat her flesh?"
The ten-year-old sister Jinxiang immediately started scolding her brother. She knew how difficult it was for her sister to rescue them from the "wolf" den.
She still remembered that her sister sold herself, and the five taels of silver she got in return was snatched away by Mr. Wang.
Now that I can go home and reunite with my parents, it will be worth it even if we die together.
He patted his sister's little head gently and held her under his left armpit. Wen Meijiu suddenly felt extremely distressed.
"Sister, I don't want to eat your meat."
Lanling hung his little head, looking pitiful as if he had done something wrong.
Turning around, he held his brother under his right armpit, leaned over to ask softly:
"Are you extremely hungry?"
Xiao Lanling nodded fiercely and said faintly:
"My feet hurt and my stomach feels bad."
The food in the space flashed through Wen Meijiu's mind. While the two little guys were not paying attention, she took out some longans and peanuts, and lied that they were given by others, so that they could fill their stomachs first.
In just a short while, the sky had darkened and suddenly a wolf's growl was heard not far away, which made people feel creepy.
"Sister, there seems to be a wolf."
My sister was a little panicked and quickly squeezed onto Wen Meijiu.
After hearing this, the younger brother was also very scared. He didn't even dare to cry out that he was hungry. He went straight into Wen Meijiu's arms, staring straight ahead.
It was too late to run away, especially since she had two children with her.
Seeing that the growl was getting closer, Wen Meijiu pulled the two children and quickly retreated in the direction they were coming from.
Suddenly, the younger sister pushed Wen Meijiu who was retreating and said in a trembling voice:
"Sister, what is that?"
Wen Meijiu turned his head and looked back, and saw a pair of green eyes shining in the dim light. They were attacked from both sides by wolves.
Wolves are indeed cunning animals.
The one in front is making a feint attack, while the one behind is planning a sneak attack.
Being attacked from both sides, if Wen Meijiu was alone, as a killer, it would not be a problem for her to deal with the two wolves.
But she was with her younger brother and sister, and was afraid that the two wolves would attack them at the same time and hurt them both.
"Sister, it's coming!"
The sister screamed, instantly startling the wolf.
The wolf behind them suddenly jumped in front of them, with its back arched high and its front paws pointed forward. There was a fierce light flashing in its eyes, its white fangs were exposed, and saliva was flowing from the corners of its mouth.
These two wolves had not eaten for a whole day, and they had long been eyeing the people on the mountain, but because there were so many people around, they did not dare to attack.
Now, these three little ones are alone, how could they let go of such delicious prey.
"Sister, am I going to die? Wuuwuwu..."
The younger brother Lanling was frightened and started crying instantly, which made the two wolves in front and behind even more fearless, and the one at the back also pressed forward.
Wen Meijiu hugged the two little ones behind her, but the two little guys were so scared that they held her arms and refused to let go, restraining her from all sides and making her unable to move.
The two wolves surrounded them and pushed the three of them to the side of a mountain road. There was a deep ditch next to the road. If they fell into it, they would die.
After thinking about it again and again, Wen Meijiu patted his sister with his hand and said softly:
"Jinxiang, do you want to eat meat?"
Jin Xiang was so frightened that she didn't care about this at all. She screamed:
"Sister, don't talk about this. We are almost becoming wolf meat. What should we do? What should we do?"
“Don’t worry, I’m here and I won’t let you die.
You see, you were captured by Mr. Wang, but in the end, wasn’t it your elder sister who rescued you?
Jinxiang, just listen to your elder sister, hold your brother, and close your eyes. I will come back and make sure you can have some meat, okay?"
Jin Xiang nodded while crying, finally let go of her hand, and pulled her brother into a hug.
Wen Meijiu, who had freed his hands, tore open his shirt, took it off and put it over the heads of the two children, covering their faces tightly.
