Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

(...Boom, there was a flash in my mind, as if the electricity was cut off, and I passed out.) I don’t know how long it took before I woke up. I was lying in my uncle’s arms. He wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth with a handkerchief. A group of villagers with shovels, hammers, knives and sticks were beside me. They passed by when they were running towards the river beach. They all cried when they found the dead wolf and cow on the stone arch bridge. They cried for the dead cow. They said that the cow belonged to Wang Changshun’s family in the village. The safety of the village died in such a tragic way. They want to commemorate the cow forever. The cow cannot be killed, the skin cannot be peeled off, and the meat is not allowed to be eaten. It must be buried and erected a monument like a human being!Someone went into the village and brought a cart to carry the cow up and back, but they couldn't get the cow's left hoof out of the wolf's mouth with great effort, so they cut the wolf's mouth with a knife, and the wolf The mouth was cut open, and the cow's hoof was pressed against the wolf's throat, but it still couldn't be removed. The wolf's head was chopped off randomly, and the wolf's carcass was chopped off. They didn't seem to care much about the wolf's skin. Mushy chunks of wolf meat with fur were buried one by one under the tree roots by the canal to make fertilizer. Someone even cut down a peach tree by the canal to make many wooden wedges, and placed them on the place where the wolf meat was buried. Nail it down, and curse that the wolf can never be reincarnated.

They didn't attack me, but no one paid attention to me. After everyone dispersed, my uncle and I were left on the stone arch bridge.My uncle helped me back to his home. An hour later, my uncle came back covered in blood. He didn't hold a gun, and he carried Fugui on his shoulders. Fugui's front leg was broken, and he was hanging from his uncle's shoulder like a small wooden stick. "Uncle, you killed the wolf again!" I asked him. "I haven't," said the uncle. "No, who are you lying to?" I angrily said, "I heard gunshots, you fired every shot, you didn't kill the wolf?!"

"I fired a gun into the air," said the uncle. "Fugui caught up with the wolf and bit him, but the wolf also bit off Fugui's leg." "I heard three shots, obviously three shots." "I went to save Fugui, but the rotten head took the gun away..." Uncle put Fugui down, yelled at Uncle to bring wine quickly, and then spilled a bottle of wine on Fugui's broken leg, Fugui let out a cry, Uncle took out Baiyao from his bosom to apply it, and took another Narrow wooden bars secured the broken leg and bandaged it.Poor Fugui lay there, seemingly without any strength, looked at uncle and me with gray eyes, I turned my face away, but still didn't spare uncle, "These two shots were shot by rotten heads? Did he kill the wolf?"

Uncle didn't answer me.Cuihua came back from nowhere and played in the yard with a mouse in its mouth. It didn't kill the mouse immediately, but lay down and watched quietly after knocking it over. The mouse suddenly ran forward, and it again Flop overturned it, and the mouse stopped moving. It looked at it for a while, meowed, wagged its tail and walked to the side, and began to lie down and doze, but at this time the mouse jumped up and fled again. The mouse rose up in the air, and the mouse stood there as if it was frozen. After about a moment, the mouse lay down and rushed towards the Chubushi, and its head was cracked.I looked at Cuihua who was in a daze, and stomped my feet suddenly, and there was another gunshot somewhere far away.

This day, under my surveillance, my uncle did not leave the yard. He was curled up in the big armchair, shrinking like a horse shrimp. There were no more gunshots outside, but there were shouts and cheers from far and near. .I asked my uncle to stop hunting and killing wolves, but my uncle asked me, "Are you letting me go out again?" Finally, he said that he couldn't let me go out, but I insisted on going together, so he stopped moving. .None of us could convince anyone, so I yelled that since you refused to intervene and the situation was out of control, then I will leave here immediately, and I will report to the state administrative office, which will send the public security department to intervene.But the uncle closed the gate of the courtyard and said that no one could leave. If the police intervened, wouldn't this be betraying the people in the village?Since you can't stop going out, and it's not appropriate for you to go to the scene, you just stay at home and pretend you don't know anything.

"Can you pretend?" The uncle yelled at the eldest uncle, "I came back to give you riches and honor, and they are still waiting for me!" As the sky gradually darkened, the noises outside did not stop, there were even the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of beating the washbasin, and the sound was erratic, as if the wolf had moved from the river beach in the south of the basin to the plateau in the north Then he fled to the village.Sure enough, the gate of the courtyard was slapped and yelled loudly: "Is anyone there? Is there anyone?!" The uncle opened the door, and a woman pulled three or four children, her face ashen, panicked, and rushed into the yard. She closed the courtyard door with a bang, and she said that they saw wolves: all the men ran to hunt wolves. She originally sat at home with a few children, but the children liked to be lively and clamored to go out to see them, so she took them with them. They climbed onto the shelf on the elm sill in front of the door.This board is where her husband sleeps alone to avoid mosquitoes at night, and it is very crowded for an adult and four children to sit on it, but they have no safe place to go, so she tied the children's waists to the board with a rope superior.They first looked at Saddle Ridge in the distance, where there was fire, and a string of torches separated and converged for a while, and then flowed on the river beach like shooting stars.Of course the children were excited, and they all brought slingshots, so they stood on the shelf and kept shouting: "Wolf!"Wolf!In the alleys of the village and in the crop fields behind the houses, all the lights that twinkled like sparks were regarded as wolf eyes. The slingshots were fired at once, but dogs, cats, and an owl were hit.This makes the kids so happy!Just as they were playing, another pair of eyes shining with green light appeared in the crop field, and the children shouted: "Bei Bei! Bei Bei!" Bei Bei is her dog, and Bei Bei snorted, The green light swam over and came under the elm tree.The children said: Beibei, didn't you go to hunt the wolf? Why did you come back? Was the wolf killed? You are the uncle of the wolf!Wolves are afraid of dogs as uncles, but there are also nephews who deliberately hurt uncles.Beibei sat under the tree and looked up, and then jumped onto the top of the kitchen next to the tree. Beibei meant that it was going to come up.The children called Beibei to jump up, as long as they jumped on the first branch of the elm tree, they could help him to the shelf.However, she almost fainted from fright, she found out that Beibei is not real Beibei, but a wolf!Because Beibei doesn't have such a long tail, and Beibei's tail curls up to the top of the head. The wolf's tail is dragging. When it sits, its big tail is pressed under its buttocks. All exposed.She held down all the children at once, and shouted: "Wolf!"The wolf froze on the top of the kitchen for a moment, and the wolf was also startled. Then the wolf, who had seen through his true colors, grinned fiercely, mooed, and wanted to pounce on the tree, but he didn't catch the elm. The kitchen roof fell off.But it didn't seem to hurt, the wolf still howled up around the tree, and began to gnaw the bark again.At this point, they were really scared, and they took the slingshots and beat them down together. After hitting the stones in their pockets, they threw the slingshots and smashed down. The wolf might have gnawed the bark bitterly, and ran into the bucket in the kitchen. He drank water, came out and gnawed on the tree. Fortunately, the tree was thick and he gnawed on and on, so the wolf just lay down under the tree and still wouldn't leave.The children began to cry, but as soon as the children cried, the wolf stood up and wanted to leave. He came back to the edge of the crop field, picked up a piece of laundry that was hanging in the kitchen, and then left.

"Do we still dare to stay on the shelf?" The woman said, "But I knocked on several doors, and there was no one in the house! I just said that the wolf was driven out of the village. Who knew that the wolf would dare to enter the village?!" "You're confused, maybe it's really a dog." The uncle said. "The children have never seen a wolf, and they may recognize a wolf as a dog. Could it be that I can't tell the difference between a wolf and a dog?" the woman said, "This wolf is black, with a hanging belly, and is very fat." "Fat? People often say that wolves dry wolves, how fat can wolves be?" I said.

"If it wasn't fat, it would have jumped on the branch." "It's a fat wolf!" The children were also gesturing, "The belly is so fat that it touches the floor." Uncle suddenly asked: "Is the head too big?" "Big head." "The mouth is crooked?" "I didn't pay attention to that." "Is half of the tail white?" "Ok." "Could it come here too?" Uncle pondered for a moment, then looked at me. "Who?" I asked. "No. 15." Uncle said, "No. 15 is in the area around Gongwang Ridge. How could it appear here? What kind of gathering is the wolf really going to have here?!"

Uncle's words terrified us all, and the uncle became nervous first. He knew that his uncle knew about wolves, and he didn't speak lies. "Everyone go into the house, go into the house." He immediately let the children into the main room, and no one can run out of the courtyard door casually, since the big belly fat wolf is in the village, maybe it will suddenly appear somewhere .Uncle put on the wide belt. He called me and asked, "Where is the gun?" Realizing that the gun was held by a rotten head, he muttered a curse, and put it on the herringbone leg wrap. He took his knife, put a kitchen knife in his waist, picked up a stick, opened the door and went out.I said, "Uncle, uncle!"

He turned around: "I'm going to die, why don't you let me out?!" I said, "I'll follow you!" He did not speak, and had already walked out of the courtyard gate. My uncle quickly gave me a shovel and told me not to be empty-handed, "Then I have to stay at home," he said, "How can these children do without protection?" I nodded and caught up with my uncle, but my uncle let me take the kitchen knife in his waist and said: Follow me!
