[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

Yi took it up and took a sip, the bitter taste spread in his mouth, making the two little guys frown.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were not used to drinking either.Zhang Zirui took a sip, the tea was bitter and astringent, and the tea smell was very weak.But from Young Master Zhang's memory, he knew that even if it wasn't good tea, the price wasn't cheap either.

Wen Qi'an: "Brother is the best."

Wen Chiping: "Brother is the most powerful, I want to be like my brother when I grow up."

"Then you won't be a general anymore? My brother is a scholar." Zhang Zirui deliberately teased him.

Wen Qiping looked troubled, what should I do, brother-in-law is so powerful, and people like brother-in-law are also very powerful.But he still wants to be a general, not a champion.

"I'm sure I won't be as powerful as my brother-in-law. I'd better be a general." After some struggle, Wen Chiping said tangled.

"Then I want to study hard like my brother, and I will be the number one in the exam." Wen Chiping still thinks that my brother is the best, and for a scholar like my brother, it is no problem to get a number one.

"Third brother is so good, my brother-in-law won't be able to get the first prize. Third brother must work hard, brother-in-law is waiting for you to take the first prize and become a high-ranking official." Zhang Zirui sipped his tea, teasing the two little beans with a smile.

"So when I become a high-ranking official, my brother-in-law and eldest brother can enjoy themselves." Wen Qiping said seriously.

Wen Qi'an also expressed his determination eagerly. "When I become a general, I will never let others bully my brother-in-law and eldest brother."

"Then what about your second brother and younger sister?" Zhang Ruizi looked at Wen Qiwu, seeing that he didn't care, and seemed to think that the Pingan brothers were good.

Wen Qi'an: "You must also protect your younger sister and honor your second brother."

Wen Chiping: "Me too."

Wen Qiwen smiled and patted the heads of the two little guys. "Then we'll wait for the two of you to make a comeback soon."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen went to various houses to pay New Year's greetings with New Year's gifts.They went to Wu's house first, and Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's family often cared about them.Erzhu and Shitou's house must be visited, and they helped a lot in building the house.Uncle Liuzi and Uncle Ergou also wanted to go to the house. At that time, they wanted to grow vegetables, and most of the seeds were sent by them without asking for money.Aunt Osmanthus is also going to her house. Wen Qiwen doesn't know how to make shoes, so Aunt Osmanthus made all the shoes for the family.The village chief's house is going to go, and I have to find him in the future.

As for the elders of the Wen family, his surname is Zhang, what does the elders of the Wen family have to do with him?

After walking around for a while, I gave a few small red envelopes when I got home.They also received the New Year gift from Wen Qiwu. What Zhang Zirui gave was a set of ordinary four treasures of the study, and what Wen Qiwen gave was enough fabric to make a suit of clothes.

This set of four treasures of the study is at least one or two taels of silver, so Wen Qiwu has his heart set on it.

Wen Chengcai and Wen Chengqian's family did not wait for Wen Qiwu and Zhang's New Year's greetings, and they were in different moods.Uncle Wen, who described himself as a scholar and cared about his face, was very angry.In his opinion, the previous divorce was just a child's righteousness.He thought to himself that he is also a scholar, and he is also their uncle, these brats will definitely come to reconcile during the Chinese New Year.But the Zhang family is just people in trouble, even Zhang Zirui is also a scholar, but Bijin is still an 'outsider' in this village, and he has to establish a good relationship with him who is 'highly respected' in the village.

In the end, none of these two families came, and Uncle Wen felt that he had been slapped hard in the face.

Wen Chengqian was still indifferent and didn't express anything.In his heart, if it wasn't for Chen Yue, his younger brother, who had always been honest, wouldn't have rebelled against his parents, and if it wasn't for Chen Yue, his third brother wouldn't have died so early.Wen Chengliang's early death was a knot in his heart, and he completely shifted the responsibility to Chen Yue and the Wen family brothers.This made him feel better.

☆、Wolf pack infested

On the second day of the new year, many people are still paying New Year's greetings everywhere, and children will also visit other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. Some people will give some small snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts.Both the Zhang family and the Wen family received a lot of New Year's gifts, although they were not good things, but they were a little bit of love from everyone.

After the new year, the weather seems to be getting colder.At this time, almost every household in the village did not go out, hiding at home.In this winter day, the village looks very quiet.

One evening, this peaceful atmosphere was broken by a mournful howl.This cry spread far, far in this tranquility.

Zhang Zirui frowned, and asked Wen Qiwen, "Which house is this crying coming from?"

"I don't know. I don't know the people in the village very well. I'll go and have a look." Hearing the crying, I knew something must have happened.

"I'll go too." Crying so miserably, it shouldn't be a big deal.Zhang Zirui fought and followed Wen Qiwen out.

When the two of them went out, they met Wen Qiwu, so the three of them walked in the direction of the crying sound together.The family where the accident happened was not far from their home, and only when they got closer did they realize that it was Wen Chengjin's house that had the accident.

Wen Chengjin and Wen Chengliang were of the same generation, and the two families were also related. When Wen Qiwen saw Wen Chengjin, he had to call him second uncle.When they arrived, there were already many people around here.

"What's the matter?" the daughter-in-law of Dahu's family asked Xiao Wang, the daughter-in-law of the third brother of Wen Chengjin's family, in a low voice.

"I heard that my second uncle went to the mountains and encountered wolves. He managed to escape, but he didn't make it through. Alas, my second sister-in-law also had a hard life." Xiao Wang said, showing a little fear on his face.

"Ah~~Then why don't you help?" Dahu's wife exclaimed.

"There are a lot of elders in the family. I can only go in after they come out." Xiao Wang said, looking into the room worriedly.

"Okay, let's all go back." At this moment, an old man came out of the room and waved everyone away.This man is an old hunter in the village, the third uncle of the Wen family.

"Third Uncle, my man also went to the mountains with Wen Chengjin, and I haven't seen anyone yet, so what do you think is wrong?" At this moment, a woman stumbled up to Third Uncle, crying with tears all over her face. It looked like he had no master.She was accompanied by a half-grown child, and her eyes were red with anxiety at this moment.

"Wen Chengde's family, you go back first, it's too late today, and I'll take someone to look for it early tomorrow morning." The third uncle frowned. The people who went to the mountains this time were all Wen's family, and they were all in their prime.If there is any good or bad, the pillars of these families will be gone.

It's not like third uncle didn't think about it, and now he took people to the mountains to find someone.But now that he knew that there were wolves in the mountains, it was very dangerous in the mountains at night, and the weather was cold, so he didn't dare to take people to look for them overnight.

After that, several families came over crying, even the village head.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Zhang Zirui took the Wen and Wu brothers home.It's just that something like this happened, Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu were a little depressed.This time, all the Wen family members were involved in the accident, and their father had also disappeared in the same way.

The next day, the third uncle of the Wen family organized more than a dozen old hunters and went into the mountain at dawn.It was not until the evening that the group came back from the mountains. When they came back, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.

They had already confirmed that a pack of wolves had come to the forest near Sanshui Village. The number of wolves in this pack was definitely not less than thirty, and such a large pack of wolves had never been seen around here.Moreover, the signs of these wolves' activities are very close to Sanshui Village.It is very rare for Wen Chengjin to escape back intact by luck.Although there is a large piece of flesh missing from the leg, there are also many bites and scratches on the hands and body.

Those who stood guard at the intersection into the mountain, eagerly expecting the family to return safely, did not wait for the news they wanted, and suddenly cried loudly and mourned.Even though this kind of thing happened to the old hunters many times, they still couldn't help sighing.There are many dangers in the mountains, and fewer and fewer people have entered the mountains over the years.I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, everything is fate.

After the third uncle and the others came back, they informed everyone not to go up the mountain.You must be careful about the door. It is not uncommon for wolves to enter the village before.

Hearing this news, everyone in the village became nervous.For the hordes of ferocious wolves, they all have awe in their hearts.If this pack of wolves enters the village, everyone will suffer.A dull atmosphere spread in the village, and everyone was a little nervous every day, and they dared not go out alone.

The families of the dead in the village began to organize funerals. Wen Chengjin was better. Although his death was miserable, he barely had a whole body.The other families were much more miserable, no one was born, no corpse was seen after death, and in the end they had to make a clothes tomb.The funerals of these families filled the small Sanshui Village with grief.

Because Zhang's family and Wen's family live near the foot of the mountain, which is relatively remote and far away from other families in the village.Hearing about the wolves, Liuzi, Shitou and others were a little worried, so they rushed to strengthen the fence of the two families, and added a lot of sharpened wooden sticks to the fence.

Zhang Zirui thanked them very much for their generosity, and wanted to give gifts, but they didn't want any of the six sons.It doesn't take much for them to build a fence, it's just a matter of lifting a finger.The Wu family and two other families not far from them also strengthened the fence outside their yard.

At this time, rumors about Wen Qiwen's father, mother, and six relatives were quietly spreading in the village, and it was unknown who started it.

In the inner room of the Zhang family, Wen Qiwen burned a pot of firewood in a clay pot to make the house warmer.On the big bed in the room, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen were sleeping soundly under thick quilts.At this time, they still don't know the rumors in the village, and they are living their small lives wholeheartedly.

Outside the house, you can see a piece of silver and white in the dark night, and the snowflakes are still falling freely.It was very quiet in the winter night, and there was no sound at all around.

In the middle of the night, a wolf howled from the back mountain, breaking the silence.The dogs in the village seemed to be frightened by howling wolves, and barked in panic.Then, another howl of wolves came from the mountain.

Zhang Zirui opened his eyes, and for the past few nights, he could hear wolves howling every day.At first the sound was quite far away and could be faintly heard.But in the next few days the call got closer and closer.

For safety reasons, Zhang Zirui put the machete inside the house.Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu prepared bows and arrows, and Zhang Zirui ordered Wen Qiwu to close the doors and windows every night.Now their brothers and sisters all live in the main house, prepare a toilet at night, and don't go out.The same is true of the Zhang family.Who knows if and when the wolves will come?Don't get up in the middle of the night and go to the latrine to be picked up by wolves and get into trouble.

Zhang Zirui listened to the howling of wolves outside the house one after another, these wolves tossing and tossing like this every night, the people in the village must have been numb with fear.But he always had a bad feeling.He has never experienced such a thing, nor has he been in contact with wolves, and he always feels uneasy in his heart.

"Brother Rui, can't you sleep?" Wen Qiwen was also awakened by howling wolves, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Zirui was also awake by the faint firelight in the room.

"Well, I think these beasts will go down the mountain sooner or later. I thought about it and we should make some preparations tomorrow." Zhang Zirui felt that the low fence didn't feel safe.

Wen Qiwen: "Brother Rui, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Zirui: "I thought about it, and it must be too late to dig holes around to create a dangerous situation. It would also take time and effort. There are a lot of wooden sticks at home, so it's better to put sharpened wooden sticks around the fence, even if the wolf comes over the fence , is either dead or wounded."

Wen Qiwen: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Waking up early the next morning, Wen Qiwen called Wen Qiwu, and the two picked out a lot of two-finger thick wooden sticks from the firewood pile in the yard, sharpened both ends, inserted one end into the soil, and the other end exposed.

Zhang Zirui also followed them to chip wood, and after he finished chipping, he wanted to insert it into the soil at first.But the ground was frozen and hard, and it couldn't be inserted.Zhang Zirui simply tore the tattered clothes of the Wen family into strips, and then used strips of cloth to make sharpened wooden sticks into horses and prop them around the fence.

"Ah Wu, what are you doing?" Uncle Wu, who was a little worried about their hard work, brought his two sons over to have a look.Who knows how many people are busy in the courtyard.

"Uncle Wu, I don't know when this pack of wolves will come, we just make some preparations to make sure of our peace of mind." A Wu listened to the work at hand and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"This is~~" Uncle Wu looked suspiciously at the wooden frame on the ground beside the fence.

"My brother-in-law came up with this, because he was worried that wolves would jump over the fence and rush to the house." A Wu briefly introduced the purpose to him.

Uncle Wu looked at it by himself, thought for a while, and then said, "I think it's okay, you and I, Brother Xiang Rong and Brother Xiang Bei are also here to help."

Zhang Zirui: "Uncle Wu, no need, we can do it ourselves. Your family is also on the edge of the village. If this method is good, you should make some preparations. I think this pack of wolves will go down the mountain sooner or later."

Xiang Rong: "Father, I think this method will work, and we will go home and prepare."

Xiang Bei: "Yes, Dad, the wolves are getting closer and closer to the village these days, we have to prepare quickly."

Uncle Wu: "Zirui, are you busy?"

Zhang Zirui: "No problem, Uncle Wu, you don't have to worry."

Seeing that they had done a lot, Uncle Wu nodded and took his two sons back.Like Wen's house, their yard is surrounded by fences, which is not safe.

Within two days, Zhang Zirui's feeling came true, and the wolves descended the mountain.

Zhang Zirui was sleeping soundly while lying on the warm quilt, when he heard faint panting sounds from outside the wall.He suddenly opened his eyes and listened carefully, and sure enough there was movement outside the house.After listening for a while, he murmured inwardly that it was not good.

"Awen wake up." Zhang Zirui gently shook Wen Qiwen awake.

"What's the matter, Brother Rui?" Finally, there was no wolf howling today, and he was sleeping soundly.

"Get up, the wolves are coming down the mountain." Zhang Zirui said as he got out of bed and put on his clothes.

"What?" Wen Qiwen woke up instantly, got up quickly and got dressed.

Zhang Zirui: "You first light the fire in the fire altar in the outer room."

With a bow and arrow on his back, Wen Qiwen lit a large fire in the fire altar, and the room lit up.

Zhang Zirui took the hatchet, walked to the wooden window, opened a gap in the wooden window, and looked out quietly.In the woods not far away, there are pairs of cold, ferocious eyes that are glowing with dim light.

"Ah~~Woo~~" At this moment, a long howl broke the tranquility, bringing the shadow of death, and then there were waves of wolves howling all around.

I saw a series of black shadows rushing out of the forest vigorously and entering the village in an instant.

"Brother Rui, what's going on outside?" Wen Qiwen clenched his bow and arrow tightly, looking very nervous.

"The wolves have gone to the village. Don't worry, as long as we don't go out, nothing will happen." Zhang Zirui didn't know the habits of wolves, and he didn't know if there would be any mutations in wolves in this world.But the adobe walls of their house are still very thick, and the door is also made of real wood. If you don't go out and die, you should be fine.

The people in the village were not as vigilant as Zhang Zirui, and only when the wolf entered the village did anyone react.All of a sudden, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs, and there were cries, dogs barking, and the creepy howling of wolves in the village.

These sounds are intertwined, making the quiet Sanshui Village noisy.Many people hid in the house and shivered. Some families whose poultry had been harmed occupied a large number of people in the house, holding hatchets and hoes, trying to drive the wolves away.

Zhang Zirui kept staring outside the house. After the pack of wolves entered the village, a taller and stronger wolf followed behind.But Zhang Zirui felt that the wolf seemed to be injured.

The brothers of the Wen family were awakened when the howling of wolves sounded.The two Pingan brothers nestled timidly in Wen Qiwu's arms, listening to the movement outside with their small ears up.And the younger sister was still snoring and sleeping soundly.

Wen Qiping: "Is Second Brother a wolf?"

Wen Qi'an: "Will the second brother wolf break in?"

Wen Qiwu put his arms around his younger brother and comforted him: "It's okay, the house is safe. You forgot, brother-in-law said that if you stay at home, you will be fine."

Wen Qiwu himself was also nervous, but he couldn't show it in front of his younger brother.What Zhang Zirui said was very important in their hearts, and they also trusted this brother-in-law who took care of them everywhere, and gradually the nervousness calmed down a lot.

☆, 20 ready to enter the mountain

After much difficulty, the wolves had already left long ago when they tremblingly survived till dawn.Sanshui Village was shrouded in mourning, and many families suffered disasters that night.

Zhang Zirui opened the closed door and stepped out, as if he could smell blood in the air.He looked towards the village, wondering what was going on in the village that night?Wen Qiwen looked around, saw that there was no sign of wolves coming in, and then looked at the closed door of Wen's house, and finally let go of his worries all night.He was worried that something would happen to his younger brothers and sisters.At this time, Zhang Zirui was still holding the hatchet in his hand, and he and Wen Qiwen, who was carrying a bow and arrow, came to the main room of Wen's house.

"Second brother, are you all right?" Zhang Zirui knocked on the door and shouted into the room.

The three drowsy brothers in the house jumped out of bed and opened the door with a clever move.

"Brother, we're fine. We've been listening to you and hiding inside the house." Wen Qiwu smiled honestly.

"Brother." The two little guys in Ping An seemed to be frightened, and rushed up to hold Zhang Zirui's hand timidly for comfort.

"Okay, it's all right." Zhang Zirui reached out and touched the heads of the two little Doudings.

"Awu, Awu, are you all right?" At this moment, Uncle Wu's voice came from outside the house.

"Uncle Wu, we're fine." Wen Qiwu said, walked to the courtyard door and opened it.

"It's fine, it's fine." Uncle Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiangrong, the boss of the Wu family who came with Uncle Wu, said excitedly, "My family was trapped by wolves yesterday."

Everyone looked at him with weird eyes, is it okay for Jinlang to be so excited?

"You don't know, that unlucky wolf jumped into my yard and jumped right on the rejecting horse. Zirui, your rejecting horse really worked, and the wolf's intestines were gutted at that time." Wu Xiangrong was bold, and again A young man in full swing, when he thinks of killing a wolf in his family, he almost dances with joy. "My younger brother and my mother are cleaning up at home now. My father was worried about you, so he brought me here."

"Uncle Wu, thank you for your family's concern." Wen Qiwu sincerely thanked Uncle Wu.

"It's fine. I still have to go to the village to see what's going on now?" They came out early in the morning and first came to Wen's house. Now that he knew that there was nothing wrong, he felt relieved.

"I'll go too." Zhang Zirui also wanted to check on the situation.Wen Qiwen also wanted to follow, but was rejected by Zhang Zirui. At this time, the outside world didn't know if An was safe?After more than four months of recuperation, there is no problem for him to protect himself now.Similarly, he didn't let Wen Qiwu go, and asked them to close the door and wait for news at home.

After explaining, Zhang Zirui hurried to the village with Uncle Wu and his son.Houses with poultry in the village have been 'patronized' by wolves.Those who keep few poultry at home, those who hide at home and dare not come out, at most lost some poultry.And those who feel sorry for the poultry or those who are bold, impulsive and reckless come out to stop the wolves, it will be miserable.Although he hid in the house in the end, although he did not die, he was injured indistinctly.Of course, there are also one or two families with many brothers who killed a wolf.

Early in the morning, Dr. Liu, a barefoot doctor in the village, got busy.See wounds everywhere, treat wounds.For a while, he was at a loss for what to do, because there were many injured people, and those with minor injuries were only given some anti-inflammatory powder to stop bleeding and let them deal with it by themselves.

Zhang Zirui's purpose in entering the village was to see how the few families with whom he usually had a good relationship were doing now.Along the way, bloodstains can be seen from time to time on the small roads in the village.I don't know if it's animal or human?Occasionally bloody chicken feathers or chickens that were killed were also seen.

The village is in chaos, many people's doors are closed, women's crying can be heard everywhere, and I don't know what happened?It made people panic.The villagers who went out looked nervous and hurried.

"Boss, be more vigilant to me. I don't know if those wolves have left." Uncle Wu looked at his eldest son who had been in a state of excitement, and couldn't help but scolded.

"I know dad." Xiang Rong also knew that he was distracted and not vigilant enough, so he nodded embarrassingly.

The three of them came to Shitou's house first, and the door was closed tightly. They didn't know what was going on at home, but they could vaguely hear a woman crying.The hearts of a few people tightened, and the secret thought was not good. Could it be that something happened at home?

"Is Uncle Shitou at home?" Zhang Zirui called into the house.

"Who?"

"It's me, Zhang Zirui."

After a while, the door opened.Shitou stood at the door with a haggard face. Seeing Zhang Zirui and Uncle Wu, he was very surprised and moved at the same time.

Stone: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Zirui: "Let's see if you're okay?"

Uncle Wu: "Shitou, why are your siblings crying so sadly? Is your kid okay?"

Uncle Wu saw that Shitou didn't look injured, and he didn't see Shitou's child, so he asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that Niang Hui's chickens were harmed by those animals. No, she is crying in distress in the house, and my two boys are accompanying their mother." Shitou said with an embarrassed smile.

"As long as people are fine, it's fine, Uncle Shitou, please advise Auntie not to get angry." In Zhang Zirui's view, no one is important.But in poor rural areas, the women in the family regard the poultry at home as very important.

Shitou: "Zirui, are you all right at home?"

Zhang Zirui: "It's okay, don't worry."

Seeing that Shitou's house was fine, they went to the next house.I went to several houses in a row, all of them were people that Uncle Wu knew.It took a lot of time for them to finish walking around.Among Zhang Zirui's acquaintances, only Uncle Er Zhu was slightly injured.The two of them were tough enough, and felt sorry for the poultry at home being harmed, so they carried a machete, a hoe, and a yellow dog at home, and they just killed a wolf.

It was Uncle Er Zhu who was bitten on the arm in order to protect his wife, but fortunately it was not serious.When they arrived, the couple were discussing with great interest how much the wolf fur could sell for.The eldest son of their family was complaining on the sidelines, and he was not allowed to go with him last night.

Zhang Zirui felt that this family couldn't be tougher anymore, but they were lucky, only one wolf entered the yard.You know, generally speaking, two or three wolves act together.Those injured families were attacked by several wolves at the same time, and then they hid in the house without armor and armor.

Although no one died in the village this time, the poultry raised by each family suffered a lot, and two unlucky villagers were seriously injured.

When Zhang Zirui returned home, Wen Qiwen brought out the prepared food.Zhang Zirui went out early in the morning and didn't eat anything.Wen Qiwu and the others also waited for Zhang Zirui to come back to eat together.

After eating, the brothers of the Wen family couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly asked about the situation in the village.Zhang Zirui just gave a general introduction. They didn't know many people, so naturally it was impossible to check, so he didn't know the specific situation in the village.

"Brother, do you think the wolves will come?" Wen Qiping blinked his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Zirui expectantly, thinking that the wolves had better not come.

"I don't know." Although Zhang Zirui said this, he knew in his heart that the wolves could easily take advantage of the village, so they probably would come again.

"Brother, if wolves come again, our family's refusal horse may kill a wolf." Wen Qi'an's fear at this time has passed, and then he wants to hit one head like Uncle Wu's family. Wolf.Just thinking about it made him excited.

"Don't think about it, Uncle Wu's wolf is also unlucky, it just pounced on the horse." Zhang Zirui saw that the brat was getting bolder, so he poured cold water on him, so that nothing would happen at that time.

"Oh, I see." Wen Qi'an frowned, he blindly believed that the jerk was made by his brother-in-law, and he would definitely be able to do it.

In the afternoon of that day, the village head called the respected old people in the village, as well as people with a relatively large population in the village, to discuss matters at home.Of course, the Zhang family and the Wen family with three or two kittens didn't know about it.

Knowing that Uncle Erzhu was injured, Wen Qiwu and Zhang Zirui, on behalf of the two families, sent some brown sugar and pastries to the injured Erzhu so that he could take care of him.Er Zhu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Yan, took their things with a smile, knowing that they were eating together, she cut a piece of wolf meat for them, which was estimated to weigh more than three catties.When Zhang Zirui and the others arrived in the morning, the wolf carcass hadn't been taken care of yet. They just came in the afternoon, so Aunt Yan would not have to send it over.

As for the sons of Uncle Zhu's family, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are about the same age as Wen Qiwu. When they saw him, they kept pulling him and telling him how powerful their parents were.In the mouth of the children, Er Zhu and his wife are more powerful than the tiger fighting heroes.

When they got home, there was another wolf leg in the house, which was sent by Uncle Wu's house.Looking at the wolf meat, Zhang Zirui was worried, what should I do with the wolf meat?In the end, he decided to stew the ones from Erzhu's house first.Worried about the strange taste of wolf meat, he washed and washed the wolf meat, and then marinated it with wine and other condiments.It was the last thing to cook the meat until it was rotten. He used enough ingredients and his skills were good.The stewed wolf meat finally tasted good, so he asked Wen Qiwen and Wen Qiwu to give Uncle Wu and Uncle Erzhu a small bowl each.Zhang Zirui's stewed wolf meat has received unanimous praise from several families, and they have never eaten this kind of wolf meat.

That night, the wolves did not come again, and everything was calm.It's just that the terrified villagers dared not sleep in fear, fearing that the wolves would enter the village again.

The next day, the village head notified each household that after three days each household must go out into the mountains to hunt wolves.If there are two strong laborers in the family, one must go, and if there are four strong laborers in the family, two must go.There are a total of sixty or seventy families in the village, and there are hundreds of people in total.Calculated in this way, at least more than 100 people can be drawn, and it is not impossible to wipe out the wolves in the mountains.

If any family does not go, pack up your things and leave Sanshui Village. Sanshui Village cannot tolerate such a selfish family.This is also the result of discussions between the village head and the elders in the village. If these wolves are not eradicated, the village will not be peaceful for a day.Before the third uncle proposed to convict people to exterminate the wolves, but everyone disagreed.Now almost every family has been harmed, so they agreed to go into the mountains to exterminate the wolves.

Upon receiving this news, each family had different ideas, and the village was once again in a state of gloom.However, the Zhang family and the Wen family received a notice that the Zhang family must go to one, and the Wen family must also go to the other.

The reason for the Wen family was that someone suggested that Wen Qiwu hunted in the mountains all year round, and he was no worse than an old hunter.And the Zhang family also wanted to go because they counted Wen Qiwen as a strong laborer.

It can be seen from this that when interests are at stake, even simple villagers will bully those who they consider weaker for their own interests, and most people will not feel wronged.

When Zhang Zirui received the news, he snorted coldly and went to Uncle Liu's house.The six sons belong to the Wen family, and the grandfather of the family is the elder of the Wen family.He asked the six sons to ask him to help find out who proposed to let the Zhang family and the Wen family send one each.

"Zi Rui, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to tell you, it's my grandfather who doesn't tell you." Although Liu Zi felt that the village's practice was a little too much, he couldn't speak in the village.

"Uncle Liu Zi, I understand. But please tell the old man, although my Zhang family is down and out, it is not a clay figurine to be manipulated by others." Zhang Zirui does not blame Liu Zi, but he really feels in his heart for the actions of the Wen family. angry.

"Zirui, my grandfather wouldn't do such a thing." Liu Zi explained anxiously.

"I know, I just hope that Mr. Wen will convey this to those people. Paper can't cover fire. This time, it's not only the elders of the Wen family who are going to discuss, but also those with many families." Zhang Zirui is not in a hurry , there is no impenetrable wall in this world.Let him know who did the trick, and he will treat that person well.

Three days later, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu went to the meeting point.Wen Qiwen originally wanted to go by himself, but was stopped by Zhang Zirui.Zhang Zirui's body has now recovered, and although he has only just started to practice formally, compared to Wen Qiwen, his skills are much stronger.Moreover, Wen Qiwen is a twin, and it is impossible for him to go into the mountains with a group of elders, so he will not be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future.

☆, Grandpa Zhou

When everyone saw Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu had different expressions, they were obviously a frail scholar and a child.In this way, two people who followed into the mountain might not only be unable to help, but also hinder them.Suddenly someone expressed dissatisfaction with the third uncle who led the team this time.

"Third Uncle, what's going on here, aren't these two people obviously dragging their feet?"

The third uncle frowned. For him, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu were unexpected people, and neither did he. "what happened?"

"Didn't you inform me? My wife is the only one in my family. Do you want my wife to go? The Wen family really looks good." Zhang Zirui sneered, now he felt that he would be delayed, why did he go so early.

"Yeah, their family is just the young couple, and Zirui is still a scholar, and his health is not good." Shitou was also in the team entering the mountain this time. calculated.

In addition, several people in the crowd had been to Zhang's house to help, and they also stood up to help speak.Zhang Zirui gave them grateful eyes.At this time, many people gathered around, besides those who were about to enter the mountain, there were also those who came to send their relatives off.

"Didn't it mean that there are two strong laborers in a family?" The third uncle said, looking at the crowd.

"Someone probably considers my wife a strong worker." Zhang Zirui glanced at the crowd around him, restrained his expression, and smiled peacefully with the corners of his mouth, showing a hint of helplessness.

"What about him?" Someone pointed at Wen Qiwu and asked.

Everyone looked at that person with idiot eyes. No one in the village knew about the Wen family.They misunderstood, that person was the son-in-law of the old Chen's family in the village, and they really didn't know it.

"In our family, there are only three babies besides me. I don't know why we have to let only one child out of our family?" Wen Qiwu explained honestly, and then smiled innocently.

"Who asked you to come?" The third uncle felt that this was wrong, and it was different from what they had discussed.

The villagers who came to send their families off also started whispering when they saw this, isn't this obviously bullying?It's so obvious, what else do you not know?These two families obviously don't have two strong laborers. If something happens, how will Zhang's family have one twin and Cheng Liang's family have three nurses?This man is too wicked.

"Third Uncle, shouldn't we go now, we can't waste time here." At this time, a thin young man in his early twenties in the crowd urged.

The third uncle hesitated, and now was obviously not the time to pursue it.Perhaps seeing his hesitation, several young people also complied with the young man's proposal.

Zhang Zirui looked at these people and asked Wen Qiwu in a low voice. "Awu, do you know these people?"

"The one who takes the lead is Wen Qiquan. He is my aunt's niece and son-in-law, and the others are also close friends with him." Wen Qiwu also understood at this time, he is honest, but not stupid.

"Third uncle, the two of them won't be of much help if they go, why don't they go?" Although they can take care of Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu after entering the mountain, he knows that this trip is very dangerous. No one has time to take care of anyone.

"No, why? Didn't they all let them come?" At this moment, the group of young people from the Wen family booed.

"It's okay, we'll go together, if we can help a little." Since he knew that the person who wanted to harm them was in the team going into the mountain, Zhang Zirui wanted to follow instead.

"Zirui, don't mess around, this is going to hunt wolves." Shitou didn't want them to follow.

"Uncle, it's okay, Ah Wu and I will take care of ourselves." Zhang Zirui said, looked at Wen Qiwu and asked, "Ah Wu, are you afraid?"

If they didn't go, those young people from the Wen family might not let it go.

"I'm not afraid, and we have a lot of people." It's not that Wen Qiwu has never been in the mountains before.

The third uncle looked at the sky, it was getting late, he couldn't delay here, he just had to look at these two people more, and after thinking about it, he took the lead to go to the mountains.Shitou and his friends were worried that the younger generations of the Wen family would do something wrong, so they asked Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu to join them.
