The three looked at each other, smiled, and continued looking for wolves in the village.
With the excellent teamwork from before, the three acted much faster than before.
Just as the three killed five wolves in a row, a wolf’s miserable howl suddenly came from the mountain. The howl was shrill and overbearing.
Suddenly, the village was in chaos. The wolves originally hiding in the village began to jump out, followed by chaos everywhere.
“Oh no, that cry just now seemed to be the alpha wolf’s.” Gu Chengrui cried out in surprise.
“Yes. If I’m not wrong, the alpha wolf is dead. I wonder who did it.” Tian Jiawang agreed.
“No matter what, let’s hurry up and kill the wolves. Otherwise, we’ll have no end of trouble if we let them escape.” Zhou Ying said.
“Yes, let’s kill the wolves first. Let’s head out of the village since they must go up the mountain if they run.” Gu Chengrui suggested.
“Sure. It’s fine as long as the people in the village are fine with it too.” Tian Jiawang nodded in agreement, and the three of them slowly walked toward the front of the village.
As expected, the wolves quickly came out with things in their mouths. Most of them were carrying chickens and ducks, and some were dragging sheep.
At the same time, the people in the village quickly surrounded them. They began to fight the wolves in pairs, and soon most of the wolves were killed by them.
However, a few wolves still managed to get around their obstacle and run up the mountain.
Just as the wolves were about to reach the foot of the mountain, dozens of arrows were shot from the top of the mountain, killing half of the remaining wolves in an instant. Three more arrows were shot, and soon all the wolves fell dead.
The village chief walked over and shouted, “May I ask who the good Samaritan who helped us is? Do come out and let us thank you.”
“You’re too kind.” As soon as the other party finished speaking, a group of people carrying some stuff came down the mountain quickly.
When they got closer, the village chief realized it was Manager Liu and his men. They carried more than 20 wolf corpses on their backs, including the alpha wolf, who was the largest.
“Oh, Manager Liu. I really have to thank you for this. Otherwise, our village would be in constant chaos in the future.” The village chief hurriedly stepped forward and thanked him.
“It’s what we should do. We were originally chasing after this pack of wolves. How are you guys? Are there any casualties?” Manager Liu asked after returning his thanks.
“I really don’t have the number yet.” At this point, the village chief turned his head and said, “Everyone, take a look at each other. If you’re injured, go to Doctor Gu for a check. The village will settle the bill.”
“Are there any who died?” he asked in a grave tone.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything because they were unsure if there were any casualties.
The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. This meant that, as far as they knew, no one died. He gave his next order, “Everyone has worked hard. Half of you will return to the village to check on each household’s situation.
“The other half, go collect the wolves’ corpses. Remember to be careful since some might bite back when they’re not completely dead.”
“All of you, help collect the corpses too.” Manager Liu said to the people behind him.
In an instant, the large group of people split into two groups. One group scattered in all directions to collect the wolves’ corpses, while the other group returned to the village with five injured among them.
“Grandpa village chief, uncle,” Gu Chengrui spoke up, “come to my house and wait for a while. You all have children at home, so it’s best not to disturb them.”
“Yes, yes, let’s go to Doctor Gu’s house. I’m thirsty after running around the whole night. I’ll ask for a cup of tea from him.” Manager Liu chimed in.
The village chief hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Alright. They’re still bandaging their wounds anyway and won’t be able to sleep for a while.”
First, the village chief didn’t have anything to entertain the guest with at home.
Furthermore, by staying here, they could better find out about the casualties in the village..
