When they saw who it was, Liu Caixia and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Weizhong knew from Liu Caixia's expression that she was someone they knew, so he also breathed a sigh of relief.

After he could see the person clearly, Liu's father ran over with a torch.

"Caixia, Caiyun, Xiaolu, are you all okay? We heard a wolf howling and were scared to death. Village Chief Hu is really a good man, and these brothers who came with me are willing to come out with me to find you. I really have to thank them!"

Liu Caixia looked at these people and bowed to thank them.

"Thank you all for coming out to help!"

Then he began to introduce what had just happened, starting with Lin Weizhong and Lin Keyu.

"Dad, I met some fellow villagers. Look, they are Lin Weizhong and Lin Keyu. They are the only two people left in their family. We are really grateful for meeting them this time. Otherwise, we three would not be able to defeat so many wolves!"

When Liu Caixia introduced them, Father Liu knew what the fellow villagers meant, so he greeted the two of them in a cooperative manner, "It's Xiaolin, thanks to meeting you, are you okay?"

Father Liu also saw the bandages on Lin Weizhong's body and knew that he was injured, so he took the initiative to go over and show concern for the two of them.

Lin Weizhong took the opportunity to say, "Uncle Liu, I only have superficial injuries, it's nothing serious. Ke Yu, this is Grandpa Liu!"

Lin Keyu: "Grandpa Liu!"

"it is good!"

On the other side, the men from Hujia Village who followed saw the corpses of more than a dozen wolves on the ground, and their eyes were full of stars, as if they were saying, "This is all meat!"

Seeing that they had gotten to know almost everyone here, Liu Caixia took the opportunity to say to the people of Hujia Village, "Brothers from Hujia Village, let's take all the wolf meat back so that everyone in the village can have some meat to eat!"

A man said, "These are all wolves you killed. How can we take them? If you can give us one to satisfy your craving, you are very generous. How can you share them with everyone? You should just keep them!"

Others chimed in with "Yeah! Yeah!"

Regardless of whether they meant it sincerely or not, their words showed that they knew etiquette and propriety. Lin Weizhong had a new understanding of Liu Caixia and their choice and felt that joining them would be a good idea.

Liu Caixia listened to them and didn't care and made the arrangements.

"Okay, don't be polite, everyone. Hurry up and take all the wolves away. We can't stay here any longer. I'm afraid the strong smell of blood will attract more ferocious beasts. Let's go back and talk about it later!"

"Yes, yes, yes, brothers, hurry up and help us. Let's go back first. Before we came out, didn't the village chief ask the villagers to move stones for defense? It will be much safer to go back anyway. It's not safe to stay here."

Father Liu echoed and called for people to come and help. Looking at the dozen or so wolves, they all thought that they would be able to eat for a long time.

In fact, Liu Caixia really had no interest in wolf meat. She heard that wolf meat tasted a bit sour, and they had never eaten wolf meat in modern times.

I don’t know whether the wolf meat tastes good or not, but it doesn’t matter. The wolf meat was originally intended to be shared among the people of Hujia Village.

This way, the Lin father and son can go with them.

Some men in Hujia Village carried a wolf in one hand and a torch in the other. Those who did not hold a torch helped to carry the wolf's body. Xiaolu and Lin Keyu helped hold torches for lighting in the team.

Liu Caiyun also followed behind, carrying the corpse of a wolf. She was very strong and could handle the task alone.

Lin Weizhong used his uninjured hand and the machete to shovel some dirt from the ground to cover the bloodstains to avoid being tracked.

It took nearly an hour of walking with the villagers before we returned to the rocky hill where Hujia Village rested.

There was a fire on the side of the rocky hill. There were two people standing guard beside the fire. When they saw them coming back, one of them shouted from the cracks in the rocks.

"Uncle Hu, they are back!"

Among the people on night watch, a young man stood up excitedly, holding a sickle tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the prey and joy for the return of his companions.

He walked forward quickly and helped take over several wolf corpses with quick and powerful movements.

After a while, Village Chief Hu squeezed out from the cracks in the rocks. A closer look revealed that the cracks in the rocks here were man-made. Many of the stones were newly put in place. There was a gap between two stones, and then another stone was put in place to form a stone barrier.

People can only climb out from the top. There should be a crack in the stone left here for the villagers to enter and exit.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back"

When Village Chief Hu came out and saw the wolf they were carrying, he was shocked.

"How was it? Did you have any trouble on the way?"

Another night watchman, the son of an old hunter in the village, was experienced and had sharp eyes. He looked the returning team up and down and asked with concern.

Although his voice sounded old, it revealed a kind of reassuring power.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Village Chief Hu looked at the wolf meat in the hands of these people and exclaimed, "So many wolves?"

Father Liu saw that Village Chief Hu looked worried and was the first to speak.

"Village Chief Hu, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly. Standing here is not a good place to talk. We need to sort out these wolves quickly. We'd better leave here early tomorrow morning! It's not uncommon to encounter wolves and tigers in the mountains, so it's better to leave as soon as possible and not stay for long."

"Okay, okay, then hurry in. You two should stay here and inform each other if there is any problem. I was scared when I saw so many wolves. If the villagers encountered them, there would be heavy casualties among the women and children. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

After listening to what Village Chief Hu said, Father Liu spoke directly to the people behind him.

"Let's move all the wolves in. You guys behind, go back and clean up the wolf blood. Wolf blood has been dripping along the way, and we tried to cover it up with our feet or knives. We haven't had time to bury the blood here yet, so please trouble the two brothers at the back to check it out to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other beasts."

Liu Caixia followed behind Liu's father, making way for Lin Weizhong and Lin Keyu to go in first, and she went in last.

When the two people who were assigned saw that everyone had left, they went there with a torch and a plow.

Cleaning up the blood along the way they came.

When they arrived at their resting place, some families had already gone to bed, only a few were still awake and sorting some things. Among them was the village doctor who had some knowledge of herbal medicine and was fiddling with the herbs he had picked.

When Liu's mother saw them come back, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even Xiaomei was affected by her nervousness and held Liu's mother's hand tightly.

She was obviously very sleepy but she stayed awake. When she saw Liu Caiyun coming back, Xiaomei's eyes lit up. The companionship she had given her for so many days was not fake, and the feelings were built through time.

Xiaomei saw Liu Caiyun running over and hugging her. Liu Caiyun hugged Xiaomei and felt very relieved.
