Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 240: Encountering the wolf that slipped through the net

“No need,” Ah Jian said, shaking his head, “wolves are different than tigers, they are very smart! Even if a trap was set, it would be useless.
A wolf’s need for revenge is extremely strong, I think it will definitely come again!”

“But who knows when it will come back! What if it hurts someone? Ah Jian, can you think of a solution?” Zhang Li Zheng said unwillingly.

Everyone nodded their heads, begging him.

“I don’t have a solution!” Ah Jian smiled bitterly: “I can only send people to quietly guard the roads entering the village every day and report if they see something! At present, this is the only option.
The weather, I think it shouldn’t last for many days.”

However, it was hard to say that the wolf’s desire for revenge was strong and its patience surprisingly good.
Even waiting for a few months for revenge was not impossible.

Everyone who knew a thing or two about the nature of wolves, knew that Ah Jian was telling the truth.
They had originally hoped that he would have an unusual strategy and hearing that there was no such thing, there was disappointment in their hearts, though it wasn’t deep.

“Then we can only wait!” Zhang Li Zheng sighed.
The crowd discussed together how to wait and deal with it.

Since they must guard, naturally they would need guards during the day and night.

It was fine during the day but at night, it was a chore.

However, after tonight, everyone knew the benefits and even the most selfish person would not dare to joke about their lives.
The young people who were full of enthusiasm felt obliged to take the initiative to volunteer, so the matter was settled very quickly.

Because of this incident, the excitement and cheer of the crowd and almost fully dissipated.
Even as the wolf meat was divided, they were not as happy.

Most people had spent the night extremely tense and were exhausted.
Except for the young people and a few who liked to join in the fun, basically only one person from each family stayed to receive the meat while the others went to rest.

“Brother Ah Jian, when do you think the wolf will come again?” Lian Ze asked nervously, excited.

“It’s hard to say,” Ah Jian said, “it’s best not to go out these days, especially at night.
Be careful during the day as well!”

Everyone agreed.

When they returned home, they boiled a pot of hot water to wash their faces.
They were so tired, they didn’t even want breakfast.
They ate some rice cakes leftover from the New Year and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Except for Ah Jian.

His spirit was particularly good.
It seemed as if something had been stirred up from the bottom of his heart and his whole person seemed inexplicably excited, his chest full of agitation.

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t grasp anything.

Ah Jian couldn’t help but sigh and think to himself: Was it really as Fang Zhou said? That it had to respond to a scene from a memory, so he needed to think of something? It was just that the stimulus was not strong enough, so he only vaguely felt this way, there no specific thing.

Who am I? What did I do before? He seemed to be no stranger to wolves but on the contrary, he seemed familiar with them.
Had he really been a hunter before? But why did he not feel any familiarity when he thought this?

Ah Jian couldn’t calm down, sighing twice, restless.

Near noon, Lian Fang Zhou got up.
When she went out, she saw Ah Jian standing in the yard with his arms crossed.
He was looking up at the sky in a daze.
She hurriedly called “Ah Jian” and walked forward.

“How long have you been here? Come inside!” Lian Fang Zhou glanced at his robe, which was being blown around by the freezing wind, and knew that he must have been outside here for a long time.

She didn’t know what he was thinking but thought he might be worried about the escaped wolf.
She persuaded: “Although the wolf escaped, its not your fault.
Don’t think too much! The ones that should come, will come and pay attention these next few days.
You don’t have to rely only on yourself to deal with it! You have been awake all night, even if you don’t want to sleep, you shouldn’t stand outside like this! Come in and sit in the room!”

Ah Jian felt warm when he heard her babbling and he couldn’t remember why he was bothered.
It was better to focus on the moment!

He didn’t explain, only smiling and saying ‘oh’ as he entered the house obediently.

Lian Fang Zhou followed in, setting aside the ash covered charcoal fire.
She added some charcoal and fanned it, asking with a smile: “Are you hungry? Would you like me to cook something for you?”

“It doesn’t have to be so troublesome, I will just eat a few rice cakes.” Ah Jian smiled.

Lian Fang Zhou cut the rice cakes and brought them over with a small wire rack that could be placed on the brazier.
The slices of rice cake were placed on top.
“Bake it until it becomes soft and then eat it.
I’ll go to the compound to take a look, everyone worked hard last night!”

Ah Jian nodded with a ‘hmm’ and Lian Fang Zhou smiled and left.

Lian Fang Zhou walked out of the house briskly and headed towards the compound at the entrance of the village.

However, she never dreamed that just as she walked outside the village, she would hear a rustling sound from the grass beside her.
She was slightly startled and turned her head to look.
Seeing it, her whole body froze like an ice pit.

The sound of rustling was clearer and the grass parted.
A slender wolf, half a person tall, came out of the weeds.
His front left paw was injured with a bright red tongue, like a copper bell.
The pair of eyes stared at her coldly.

The wounded wolf was here!

It was truly a coincidence that she had run into him!

At this moment, Lian Fang Zhou’s heart was like it had been grabbed by a hand and her heartbeat accelerated so fast, she could barely breath!

She stood there, not daring to move!

She knew that if the wolf caught up to her, it would be useless to run.

Lian Fang Zhou opened her eyes wide, staring back at the wolf without blinking.
Goosebumps swelled when she saw its sharp white teeth.

A wry smile was gently pulled from the corners of her mouth.
This was really— retribution!

The wolves had been destroyed at the hands of Ah Jian and Lian Ze and even Sun Zhang Xing was now a person employed by her family.
The luck of this wolf was really good, he had found himself the right one at once!

Lian Fang Zhou was holding her breath, secretly shouting ‘my life is over!’ when she heard someone shout in vain behind her: “Fang Zhou! Run! Get away!”

When Lian Fang Zhou turned her head, her face changed before she could make a sound.
The screaming man rushed over like a gust of wind and pushed her aside: “Run! Run!”

At this moment, Lian Fang Zhou was dumbfounded.
She opened her mouth but she didn’t know what to say.
She stared at this man, her throat blocked for a while.

It was him, how could it be him?

Yang Huai Shan!

T/N: I know its unfair but if YHS dies protecting her, I will be so mad if people start spreading rumors about it -_-
