Chapter Forty-Eight: The Snowy Night Wolf Enters the Village
"Full of silver, stop, there's a sound?!" The orchid on the kang pushed the man.
"What's the sound? You've listened. Wang Manyin replied disapprerovingly.
"There really is a voice, you listen...... The dogs in the village barked, and there were people banging gongs!! You get up and take a look...... There won't be thieves! Orchid said, pushing the man off his belly.
"Your mother-in-law is really disappointed," Wang Manyin sat up speechlessly, listening carefully with his ears sideways.
In the winter, there is a little movement outside, as long as it doesn't affect the two of them.
His house is far from the village, and the sound insulation of the cave is good, so he can barely hear the faint shouting outside.
It seems that there is a lot of commotion!
At this moment, the rhubarb also screamed.
Wang Manyin didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly lit the oil lamp, and got dressed.
The orchid over there is also nimble with hands and feet, putting on a cotton jacket and going down to the kang.
When the two of them opened the door of the kiln, they heard the sound of dogs, gongs, and people shouting in the wind...... It's messy and noisy.
Standing on the edge of the field and looking towards the village, I saw that most of the houses were lit up, especially in the direction of the breeding room, which was even brighter.
"Didn't find it, didn't find it......"
"Leave an adult in each family, don't let the broken babies be taken away......"
"Bring the guys!"
Hearing the shouting clearly, Wang Manyin understood. It's not that there are thieves in the village tonight, but that a wild wolf has entered the village.
He didn't delay any longer, and immediately said to the woman: "Orchid, go back to the house." Remember to lock the cave door and I'll go to the village to have a look. ”
As a member of the village, Wang Manyin can't stand idly by when he encounters this kind of thing.
As he spoke, he grabbed the shovel that was leaning against the door.
With a weapon in his hand, he is not afraid of a wolf even if he does encounter it.
"I know," Orchid hurried back to the cave.
Afraid that something would happen to her at home alone, Wang Manyin deliberately kept the rhubarb to take care of the house.
Then, stepping on the snow, he walked in the direction of the village.
Halfway through, I happened to meet Wang Shuhai carrying his head out of the door.
"Brother Shuhai, what the hell is going on, suddenly there is a wolf!" Wang Manyin said hello and asked.
"I don't know, I slept too hard tonight, and I just heard movement. It may be that it was snowing heavily and there was nothing to eat in the mountains, so the wolf ran out! ”
When the two of them arrived at the barn, they saw that forty or fifty people had gathered there.
Men from all the families in the village came, and more than a dozen of those educated youths who lived in the brigade headquarters were also at the scene. At this moment, Wang Yanqiang, the militia platoon commander, was squatting on the ground with a rifle in his hand to check on the two lambs that had been bitten to death.
It was from these mouths that Wang Manyin knew the whole story.
Breeder Wang Guifa had just fallen asleep not long ago when he suddenly heard a mess of sheep in the sheepfold. He immediately felt bad, and hurriedly opened the door with a lantern to check.
As a result, as soon as he opened the door of the kiln, he saw a dark thing squatting in the snow outside, and a pair of green eyes staring straight at him.
Wang Guifa reacted very quickly at that time, hurriedly retreated to the cave and closed the door.
Then he grabbed the gong that hung on the wall, struck it and shouted.
When someone from the village heard the news and arrived, Wang Guifa reopened the kiln door.
And then ...... Everyone in the village came.
The people had already looked into the sheepfold, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. In addition to the two lambs that were bitten to death, one could not be found, and it should have been taken by a hungry wolf.
"It should be two wolves, one killing sheep and the other watching people. Let's catch up now, it's easy to find blood on the ground, maybe we can catch ......" Wang Yanqiang held his rifle and said.
For this kind of assumption, Wang Manyin has no hope at all.
Unless the two wolves have broken heads, they will stop where they are and wait for everyone to catch them. What's more, there are still snowflakes floating here, and even if you can follow the wolf's tracks, you will soon be submerged.
But he didn't say anything to refute it, in case he did catch it.
In this way, a group of people with shovels and lanterns followed the footprints until they came to the outside of the village.
In this weather, the night can be more than 10 degrees below zero.
There was nothing to shelter, and the north wind was even more urgent.
Snowflakes hit the face, and it hurts.
After a while, many people began to tremble.
It's just that Wang Yanqiang didn't say that he would call it a day and return, and everyone was embarrassed to speak.
Stopping for seven or eight miles along the way, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the footprints on the ground were almost nowhere to be found.
Wang Lianshun could only make everyone stop and say: "Yanqiang, I think it's better to forget it." I don't know where this wolf is hiding, or I'll look for it tomorrow. ”
"Okay,"
On this cold day, Wang Yanqiang actually regretted it a long time ago.
In this way, a group of people set off in high spirits and returned to the village in disgrace.
"Listen to the two teams, come to the breeding room tomorrow after dinner, bring your own dogs, and let's pick up the rabbits," Wang Lianshun shouted again when he was disbanded.
When Wang Manyin rushed to the side of his house, he heard Rhubarb screaming a few times from a distance.
Immediately, he rushed over to greet him.
He patted the head of the earth dog, and then came to the kiln door and shouted: "Orchid, it's me, open the door!" ”
After a few shouts, the oil lamp in the cave came back on.
Orchid put on a cotton jacket, opened the door of the kiln and asked, "What's the matter, have you caught a wolf?" ”
"The wolf is not dead, it has already run away." Wang Manyin went to the stove and roasted his hands, then took off his cotton boots and put them in front of the stove.
After some tossing just now, most of the cotton boots were wet, and they were about to freeze.
When he got back on the kang and hugged his mother-in-law and warmed up for a long time, he felt warm again.
***
After breakfast, the orchid was at home to greet the consignment point, and Wang Manyin rushed to the livestock room in the village with Rhubarb early.
There was a smoldering fire in the livestock room, and it was warm.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered inside, talking about the wild wolf eating sheep last night.
Seeing Wang Manyin, many familiar members greeted each other.
Wang Xiugang next to him said strange things: "Man Yin, you have lost a lot of weight in the past three days, you can be more leisurely at night." There are only tired oxen, and there are no ploughed fields. ”
Wang Manyin didn't know that this donkey's cowardice was looking for his own happiness.
He immediately retorted with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm in good health." If you don't believe it, you won't have a problem with the back......"
Letting the back waist is a common wrestling method in the Shibi Festival Commune, which is often referred to as waist hugging.
"Hey, you're blowing for miles. I don't believe in evil, so let's try. "They are all men, and of course Wang Xiugang is unwilling to show weakness.
In this way, in the cheers of everyone, the two put on a posture.
Wang Manyin kicked the ground with both feet, pressed down with a slight arch at the waist, and then motioned for the opponent to wrestle.
Wang Xiugang is 1.7 meters tall and has a thin figure.
Compared with strength, Wang Manyin is really not afraid of the other party.
As he thought, Wang Xiugang tried several times in a row, but his face turned red, and he didn't shake himself at all.
"Okay, full of silver. You're really stable this time, I'll try it. Seeing that Wang Xiu had just eaten deflated, Wang Shouchang also stepped forward to join in the fun.
As a result, he tried several times, but he also didn't knock Wang Manyin down, and he also tied his trouser belt a few times for this.
Then, educated youth Liu Xiangyang stood up.
As a result, he was even more cowardly, and he didn't get the hang of it at all. Unsteady under his feet, he was thrown vigorously by Wang Manyin, and hit the shovel in the corner of the wall, and the corner of his eyebrows cleared a large piece.
Wang Manyin's hand impressed many people when he landed.
But carpenter Wang Shuhai didn't think it was strange. When he made doors and windows for Wang Manyin's house before, he found that this person looked inconspicuous, took off his cotton jacket and was full of tendon meat.
Wang Qingming, the chain-mouthed king of Jar Village, shouted to himself:
Wang Manyin is not ordinary, wrestling can be called a hero.
First defeat Wang Xiugang, and then break the longevity belt.
and Liu Xiangyang, an educated youth in the city, is also strong. stepped forward and hugged Manyin's waist, and almost fell into swollen eye bubbles.
Don't say it, it's worthy of a chain mouth, this paragraph sounds quite smooth.
