On the way back, they saw everyone packing up their things, and the Su family was even more at a loss. The situation in the village was like this, and they didn't know what the situation outside was like.

When passing by Widow Zhang's house, the sobbing and desperate crying seemed to pierce people's ears.

"Mom, Mom, please don't die."

When everyone heard this, they turned back to her house and saw a person lying on the ground, or to be more precise, a mutilated person.

Without limbs and covered in blood.

When the children saw the bloody scene, they turned pale with fright.

"what……"

Shitou quickly held Liu Huan in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, don't look."

He was just a step slow, and Liu Huan had already seen it.

As a person from an emerging world, she had never really seen a dead person, especially one who died in a tragic way.

At this moment she couldn't help trembling, feeling creepy and terrified.

Changsheng saw this and quickly covered Mrs. Chen with the clothes hanging nearby.

Shitou touched her head and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

When Liu Huan poked his head out, he saw Widow Zhang crawling out. She was covered in blood and it was hard to tell where she was injured.

Widow Zhang held on to her last breath and looked at Su's mother: "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, please, save my child."

After saying this, he died.

Su's mother's face was full of tears. She looked at the brother and sister kneeling on the ground crying and had no idea what to do.

Liu Huan seemed to be so frightened that she stood there in a daze. She didn't expect it to be so cruel.

In the end, I had to take the two children back.

The whole family sat in the room in deep thought, no one spoke. The two children from Widow Zhang's family hid in the corner, looking lost.

Father Su was smoking a pipe, not knowing what to do. "Dashi, you're the boss, tell me what we should do about this."

Dashi looked up blankly and said, "Dad, I don't know either."

This is not just a multiple-choice question, it also concerns the lives of family members. If I run away, what will happen to all the food at home? I will have no money if I leave my hometown.

Shitou clenched his fists and unclenched them, took a deep breath and said, "Dad, there are so many people in our village, I don't believe we can't beat those beasts. The town is being robbed everywhere, so how can we survive if we go to other places?"

Father Su looked around the house and saw that except for him and his wife, the rest of the family were children, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

After coming to his senses, Su's father went to find the villagers who were preparing to escape and Uncle Su, and told them about the situation in the town some time ago.

"Brother, if you go out with any food, they will rob you. If you go out, you will die."

Uncle Su looked at his son and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Su Ming said frankly: "Dad, it would be best if I could stay."

So they gathered all the men in the village who were over fifteen years old, a total of forty or fifty of them.

Uncle Su looked at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really willing to go out and escape the famine?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued, "People outside will grab food whenever they see it. Can we really rob them?"

A young man stood up and said, "Village head, what do you think we should do? I don't want to leave. My grandparents are too old to walk anymore."

"Yes, the child is still young, and we don't want to leave."

Seeing that everyone's intention was so clear, Uncle Su repeated the plan they had just discussed:

"Everyone should unite, organize patrols during the day, take refuge in the ancestral hall together at night, and then set up traps. I don't believe that so many people in the village can't defeat those beasts."

With that said, everyone became more confident, because they were more afraid of leaving their homes than the wolves.

The group quickly formed three teams and patrolled around using knives, hoes, and iron basins from their homes.

A team of people set up traps at every intersection. They cut the tips of bamboo and buried them in the soil. As long as the ropes were pulled, the sharp bamboo would pierce the prey.

The last team dug a pit and buried the dead, and burned all the bloodstained things, fearing that the blood would attract other things.

In the afternoon, everyone locked the door, took their quilts and came to the ancestral hall. Torches were lit around the hall, and flammable materials such as straw were placed at a distance. A large piece of wood was burning in the yard in front of the entrance.

Two teams were responsible for keeping watch, while the other women, the elderly and children lived inside the ancestral hall.

Liu Huan didn't dare to close his eyes at night because of what happened during the day. When he closed his eyes, he would think of the miserable appearance of Mrs. Chen, so he stayed close to the stone.

Shitou could only sleep with her and pat her to sleep like he did when they were little.

"Sleep, okay? I'm here, don't be afraid."

Liu Huan snuggled into his arms, put his lips against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat before he dared to close his eyes.

Shi Tou touched her furry hair and patted it rhythmically.

Liu Huan felt like he had just fallen asleep when he heard someone outside shouting, "Here they come, the wolf is coming."

No one except the baby in the cradle could sleep.

Then I heard the wolves outside grinning. Perhaps because of the torches, they didn't dare to come closer.

Just wait outside the ancestral hall, waiting for the opportunity.

Shitou handed Liu Huan in his arms to Cao'er and walked up to Uncle Su.

"Uncle, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Once the torches are out, they will attack us."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"We will throw the fireballs we made at the wolves. Even if we miss, remember to throw them at the straw. Let's scare off the wolves today and make plans tomorrow."

Everyone lit the prepared fire balls, threw them out through the window gaps, and scattered them on the fire pile. They also took iron pots and other noise-making objects and started knocking on them.

The wolves saw this scene for the first time and were scared away.

Everyone knows that this skill can only be used once, and the wolves are smart and will not be fooled a second time.

The next day during the day.

Su Ming led everyone to seal the windows of the ancestral hall with wooden boards and raise the protection of the courtyard outside.

Everyone went back home to eat and then men, women, young and old started making things to prevent wolf attacks.

After several days of defense, the wolves arrived as scheduled every night. In order to catch all the wolves in one fell swoop, they made a very complete trap.

All the nets available at home were taken out, and a large trap was made outside the ancestral hall. A chicken was placed inside, and when a few wolves entered, the people on both sides tightened the lines, and the people on the tree lowered a row of bamboo arrows that had been prepared long ago, which fell straight into the middle of the wolf pack.

Uncle Su opened the door and gave an order: "Hurry, don't let them get up."

Two or three of them escaped, and the others came out with hoes and knives and started hacking at them, and they caught four or five of them in one net.

In order to avenge the dead, everyone killed the wolves, stewed them and ate them together.

Because three of them had run away, everyone was still worried and set traps in various places, but they never came.

When everyone thought that the wolves would not come, some villagers were killed by wolves while looking for food.

The villagers wanted to prevent permanent troubles, so they agreed on a time to go into the mountains. Each family had to send at least one person. Dashi injured his hand in the ancestral hall, and Su's father had a leg injury before and couldn't run, so Shitou had to go as the representative of the family.

He went out in the morning and did not come back in the evening. Other people in the village stood by the roadside waiting anxiously.

Liu Huan didn't have any symptoms of palpitations in the morning, but as the afternoon went on, she felt more and more palpitations, chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Her sixth sense came back again, and Shi Tou must be in danger.
