Chapter 523: Chapter 518: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 53 [Mass Release 47]

"Exterminate them—make it so they never dare trespass the human habitats again!" Yan Jinsu answered in an instant, her tone was calm, yet it caused Xie Jingqiang’s heart to palpitate as he gasped for air repeatedly!

"Yes! We must exterminate this detestable wolf pack, ensuring they never dare violate our homes again!"

Xie Jingbin echoed Yan Jinsu, with a resounding and hoarse voice.

This time, the six youngsters were truly frightened and injured quite a bit, with multiple cuts on their clothes. Fortunately, there were no serious wounds, just streaks of blood that made their families heartbroken.

"Alright, you rascals, how much trouble have you caused this time! Let’s put this aside for now, bring the children back to tend to their injuries, then we can discuss further."

After Xie Jingqiang finished his flustered speech, he shouted angrily, pointing at his clan brother Xie Jingbin, and then ordered people to help the obviously exhausted children.

"Clan Leader, I think what Jingchen’s wife said makes sense. These vicious wolves have suffered a huge loss tonight, and they will certainly not give up on revenge so easily. We indeed need to be vigilant and on guard."

Zhou Weihai said with a grave expression, watching the children being taken away, and after having assigned many villagers to patrol in different areas, he approached Xie Jingqiang.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think is the best course of action now?" Xie Jingqiang was taken aback by the question, looking towards the Civilian Defense Captain Zhou Weihai.

Xie Jingqiang was truly at a loss: he was okay with arranging farm work, but asking him to lay out defenses was difficult! However, Zhou Weihai had asked the question and even looked towards Jingchen’s wife, allowing Xie Jingqiang to grasp the situation at once.

To Yan Jinsu, Zhou Weihai was an outsider, but not Xie Jinghai; he was the acting Clan Leader of the Xie Clan, and he did hold some status in front of Yan Jinsu.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for Xie Jingqiang to bring up the suggestion.

"Clan Leader, the most likely reason for the wolf pack’s migration is a split within the pack, forming a new alpha wolf. And the split pack can only be killed or driven away. The wild wolves that just left seemed like leaders who lost the competition!"

Yan Jinsu saw Zhou Weihai had already organized quite a few people, holding torches and patrolling in groups, and she praised him internally for not being totally clueless and at least knowing basic precautions.

Then she continued, "The fact that the wolf pack has migrated to an area with human presence indicates that there are significant numbers of wolves in the deep woods. They wouldn’t have chosen our Qingyun Mountain as their destination if it weren’t for the fact that our land is extensive and rich with wildlife."

After speaking, Yan Jinsu looked towards Qingyun Mountain Range soaring into the high clouds.

Qingfeng Mountain could only be considered a small branch of it. Whereas, Qingyun Mountain Range stretched across several towns connected to the county town, with numerous deep mountains and wild ridges—it was vast indeed!

"If these wolves were roaming within Qingfeng Mountain, it would still be a small mountain. We could report to the authorities and have the police assist in exterminating these pests. But if the wild wolves blend into the Qingyun Mountain Range, there is simply no direction to search for them!" Zhou Weihai said after listening, feeling a headache, and quickly chiming in.

Although Xie Jingqiang was the Clan Leader, when it came to knowledge of Qingyun Team’s terrain, nobody could surpass him, the Civilian Army Captain.

"Captain Zhou, you’ve forgotten, wild wolves, they hold grudges the most." So, in the end, they will come back.

"No, wait, brother-in-law, even if these beasts hold the longest grudges, but there’s the saying—there can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days!" Xie Jingqiang might not be good at other things, but he understood the implications of this very well. Hearing Yan Jinsu’s words, he hurriedly interjected.

"Right, brother-in-law, more importantly, the police can’t possibly stay in Qingfeng Village indefinitely. It’s not realistic!" Xie Jingwen had been following his elder brother all this time and after listening for a while, he added.

"Then let’s get started on setting up defenses and reinforcing barriers ourselves! Wild wolves are not the natural enemy of humans; it’s us humans who are the natural predators of wolf packs!" Yan Jinsu replied matter-of-factly.

"How exactly do we set up defenses?" Establishing checkpoints? Zhou Weihai had a headache — Jingchen’s wife made it sound so easy!

The problem is, their Qingfeng Village is situated right at the foot of the mountain, with no rivers separating them. Even if they could expend some manpower and resources to build walls—yet, wild wolves can jump quite high! How tall would the fences have to be to keep the wolves out?

And does she have any idea how expansive the mountain paths are? How much land belonging to various households is involved here...

"People are sentient, and roads are made by walking on them. If you’re afraid of trouble before even starting, then all you can do is wait for the ’occasional visit’ from the wild wolves!"

Yan Jinsu shrugged her shoulders, speaking somewhat crudely, she could leave if she wanted to—what’s the point of busying herself with these matters? If it weren’t for the fact that her husband was a local and that their family roots were here, why would she bother getting involved?

Her indifferent tone left the old men in front of her choked up with anger!

That’s the issue with women—they start becoming unreasonable before the conversation is over! While Zhou Weihai hadn’t said much yet, the other old men were already grumbling internally.

Yan Jinsu didn’t take their attitudes to heart and addressed the Clan Leader:

"It’s quite late into the night now, everyone has family at home who are worried and frightened. I won’t be a nuisance and add to the chaos here, I’ll head home to check on the old folks and children. Good night to all of you."

Hearing this, Zhou Weihai wanted to ask her to stay, but looking at the time, it indeed was late, and she was but a young wife; it wouldn’t be right to put her in a difficult position.

Moreover, seeing his companions shaking their heads at him, he quickly grasped the situation.

"Alright, Jingchen’s wife, you head back and get some rest early. Please do come to the village committee tomorrow, the more people we have offering ideas, the more comprehensive our plans will be, right? This village belongs to all of us," Xie Jingqiang immediately tried to smooth things over.

"Okay, then I’ll head home now. Uncles and brothers, thank you for your hard work," Yan Jinsu saw that there wouldn’t be any problems tonight, so she promptly left.

Once she was gone, Zhou Weihai wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "My goodness, this is the first time I’ve seen such a ’capable’ young wife!"

This wasn’t just a matter of capability; it was downright courage!

Once mentioned, it immediately brought to mind the harrowing moments earlier—enough to send a shiver down the spines of the men present!

They had clearly seen Yan Jinsu’s swift and efficient movements as they followed behind.

Strength, check! Speed, check! And her response was both sharp and quick!

At that critical moment, with the wolves lunging towards the children, this young wife dared to risk her life by throwing herself into the rescue. Soon after, another wolf on guard saw Yan Jinsu move and followed suit, lunging to bite, which left these men following behind, trembling with fear!

It wasn’t just the women; even these grown men would hesitate and stumble, frozen in place at the sight of three to five wolves. If they hadn’t seen Yan Jinsu’s commanding defeat of the pack of wolves, which truly intimidated the opposing fierce beasts, they might not have had the courage to step forward.

Only Zhou Weihai and Xie Jingwei kept moving without hesitation, while the rest—at least for a few seconds—were paralyzed with fear.

Zhou Weihai did so because he was the Civilian Defense Captain and had a bit of martial prowess and bravery. As for Xie Jingwei, he saw his younger brother’s wife up ahead and rushed forward without thinking.

It was only when they saw their brothers charging ahead that the lagging few, not wanting to lose face or nerve, clenched their teeth and followed suit.
