Chapter 21: The Wolf Comes

(It's only a little bit away from the Xianxia classification recommendation list, ask for recommendation votes - there are votes and more!)

There was nothing to do all night, and the next day Chen Jianchen got up early in the morning as always, and saw that in the corner of the room, Ying Ning was meditating with his eyes closed - it opened his mind and channeled spiritually, learned the Taoism, and could swallow the aura of heaven and earth.

Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao is lonely.

Chen Jianchen didn't alarm it and quietly walked out of the room.

Ah Bao got up early and made breakfast, which was quite rich - the two silver ingots that Chen Jianchen got from Wang Fu were handed over to Mo Sanniang. When Mo Sanniang saw it, she was surprised, she had never seen so much money, and she hurriedly asked where she got it. Chen Jianchen replied that it was the rich man Wang who gave him a pen when he asked him to write.

Mo Sanniang had no doubts, she happily accepted it, and the amount of money spent on buying vegetables for Ah Bao suddenly increased by fifty percent.

-- Since Ah Bao moved into Chen's house, she has been in charge of almost all the housework, busy with everything. Especially when she can cook a good dish, she is really out of the hall and into the kitchen, and she is very virtuous.

There is a treasure at home, if there is a treasure.

Chen Jianchen was full of praise, but whenever he praised it, Ah Bao's face turned red, very ashamed, both ashamed and happy, bright and beautiful.

After breakfast, Chen Jianchen went back to the room and asked Ying Ning what he wanted to eat.

Ying Ning replied: "The little fox has obtained the law since he opened his mind, and he will no longer eat meat, and occasionally eat fruit and drink water." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jianchen sighed, and wanted to go out to get some water, but suddenly heard the hounds barking outside, and the voices were noisy, as if something was going on.

Hearing the fierce barking of the dog, Ying Ning reflexively shook her body and approached Chen Jianchen's side.

Chen Jianchen frowned, and after a few words of comfort, he walked out to see what was going on.

I saw that the village was full of people, and many people gathered together and shouted.

When Chen Jianchen arrived, the villagers greeted him one after another and got out of the way.

"What's wrong?"

I heard Zhang Laosan say: "Chen Xianggong, a wolf came to the village last night and ate a goat of Li Ada, leaving only a place of blood. ”

Sure enough, I saw Li Ada, who was sitting on the ground in the circle, crying with tears in his eyes - for his family, a goat was very valuable, and it was eaten by a wolf, and it was like a piece of meat being dug up in his heart, and he was extremely distressed.

Wolf?

Chen Jianchen was excited, and hurriedly asked, "How can this be?"

Zhang Laosan said: "Maybe it's the cold weather, the snow is heavy, and the wolves are difficult to forage for food in the deep mountains, so they will run out and attack the livestock...... In the past, similar things were born, no, I was going to go out hunting with the water and the fire. If the wolves are not killed, or driven away, they will stay outside the village and wait until night to run into the village to do evil. ”

Although Zhang Laosan said that in previous years, there were also cases of wolves entering the village to eat livestock, but somehow, Chen Jianchen was quite uneasy, and always felt that this matter was not simple, and it was probably related to the wolf demon that Ying Ning said......

After he understood some of the situation, he went back and told Ying Ning.

Ying Ning wrote on a blank piece of paper: "I also think it's a wolf demon, it doesn't dare to enter the village openly, so it looks for some: livestock to go down, create nuisance, and look for opportunities." ”

Chen Jianchen was silent.

Ying Ning wrote again: "Childe, it's all the trouble caused by the little fox, if I leave, it'll be fine." ”

Chen Jianchen smiled and said, "Now your business is my business, you can live here with peace of mind." ”

......

At dusk, all the hunters who had gone out to hunt wolves came back with their dogs, but they found nothing, and searched for miles around the village, but found no sign of the wolves.

It's kind of incredible.

Several hunters domesticated are experienced hunting dogs, hunting countless times, and if the wolf has appeared, it will definitely be sniffed. Could it be that the snow has buried the traces?

They don't know why.

In the evening, Zheng Datu, the butcher of the village, came back, and unlike normal days, he ran out of breath and sweating profusely today. Someone laughed and quipped: "Zheng Datu, you are being chased by a ghost, running in such a hurry?"

This Zheng Datu has a thick waist and a round waist, and he is powerful, he is one of the strongest men in the village, and his personality is a little fierce, so basically no one dares to provoke him.

Zheng Datu wiped his sweat, and said angrily: "You don't know, I met a wolf on the way back." In recent years, those beasts have become more and more daring, and they dare to come out before it gets dark. ”

When they heard that there was a wolf, there was an uproar, and many people gathered around to listen to it.

Zheng Datu said: "I went to the countryside to sell meat today, and in the end only a pair of pig's scalps came back, I originally thought that I would leave it for my family to stir up wine at night, who knew that when I returned to the willow forest, I actually followed a giant wolf silently, I estimated that it was at least three feet long, more than a foot high, and the fur was as black as charcoal......

The willow forest he said was just south of Jingyang Village, not far away, but only a few more roads.

Zheng Datu continued: "At that time, I thought, this beast is so daring, and it wants to bite people in broad daylight, so I took out a pig-killing knife to scare it......

At this time, someone coaxed: "Slaughter, you have a sideways face and a sharp blade in your hand, and the black wolf must be scared by you." ”

Zheng Datu's face was very strange, and he said, "Scared fart! You really don't know, when I flashed the knife, the beast was not afraid at all, but grinned and showed a mouth full of fangs, its eyes were deep, glowing with ghostly light, very penetrating. I was also bold, but looking at the beast's eyes, I was inexplicably frightened, and quickly cut off a pig's ear and threw it on the ground......"

Someone else asked, "What did you do by throwing away a pig's ear?"

"You are stupid, I lost the pig's ear, the wolf must only care about eating the pig's ear, and ignore me...... Later, the black wolf really took the pig's ear and ate it in one bite, but swallowed it in just one bite and chased after him. ”

When the people heard him say something terrible, they stopped interjecting and listened quietly.

"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, it's the first time in my life that I'm so afraid, seeing that the wolf is in a hurry, I quickly cut the meat again, cut and cut, and the last pair of pig scalps is only a pig's nose...... He's ***, I'm gone with the appetizers tonight. ”

"And then?"

Everyone hurriedly asked.

"I spread my legs and ran, and finally got out of the woods, near the village, and on the way I met a few people from the neighboring village. When he turned around again, the black wolf did not catch up again, and he may have been scared away when he saw a lot of people. ”

Everyone listened to the thrill, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Zheng Datu, and thought, could Li Ada's goat be eaten by this black wolf?

When you think about it, it's possible.

Such a fierce and courageous wolf is really rare, and it is difficult to deal with, and it seems that we must quickly discuss how to set a trap at the edge of the village......

They had a heated discussion, and no one noticed that not far away, Chen Jianchen was looking at the entrance of the village with a frowning browβ€”his gaze didn't seem to have a specific location, just watching from a distance.

Another night has come......
