Chapter 1083 Caught the Wolf
……

Qin Xiaomi was right. When it was almost dawn and everyone was sleeping soundly, they suddenly started to howl!

A burst of wolf howls came from the Xue family's warehouse.

Qin Xiaomi was excited when she heard the howling, but she also felt something was wrong. She quickly got dressed and stood up, calling out to her grandparents, uncles, and aunts, "Wake up! This wolf howl isn't right. It's probably a human imitating the sound, some kind of code. When trained wolves hear this sound, they won't come running to get the message, but will go straight back into the mountains to report to the Second Village Chief and his men!"

"As long as the wolves arrive, even without a letter, the Second Chief and his men will know that something has happened outside the mountain, and they will respond accordingly!"

Grandpa Qin understood and said hurriedly: "You mean, wolves are letters!"

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "That's right, wolves are trustworthy, so we must catch them and not let any of them escape!"

With a creaky sound, the doors of the four compartments opened, and the whole family including Jiang Xiaozhu came out and gathered towards Qin Xiaomi.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, Second Uncle, go and ring the gong to notify the whole town to go up the mountain and search for wolves. Don't let a single wolf escape. Take half of our servants with you, and the other half will stay behind to guard the area. Remember to warn Captain Zhong, Captain Ling, and my uncle to be careful that the tiger is lured away from the mountain and our town is harmed."

"I understand. You all stay at home and lock the doors and windows. If you hear any noise, make sure it is safe before coming out." Grandpa Qin gave instructions and took Uncle Qin, Miao Bo, and two Guan family warriors with him to leave together. They went to the Banjie sentry post, found General Da Li and others, and told them Qin Xiaomi's guess.

The Li generals and others immediately took them to see Captain Zhong, Captain Ling, and Commander Qiu.

quickly.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
In Taifeng Town, the sound of gongs and shouts rang out: "Captain Ling and Captain Zhong, military orders! Hungry wolves have come down the mountain to harm people. Village heads, quickly gather your militia and go up the mountain to kill the wolves!"

The three families of Lu, Miao and Wu all had sons patrolling the town. Upon hearing this, they quickly returned to the village to call for help.

The three villages were all close to the town, so they called people over in just over a quarter of an hour. Holding torches, they followed the experienced scouts under Zhong Ling's second unit, found the scent of wolf urine, and followed the scent towards the back mountain of Wujia Village.

There was a lot of noise outside, and Liu Ge'er and the others heard it, their faces gloomy again... The lowly people of Wei were so perceptive that they knew that he used wolf howls to send messages to wolves and let the wolves deliver news to the mountains!

"Don't worry, young leader. Wolves are the gods of wind in the mountains. These people from outside the mountains who don't make a living by hunting can't catch up with wolves." Yangzi comforted Liu Ge'er.

"Shut up and don't talk so much!" Liu Ge'er chuckled, then put on his clothes and went to bed, but he couldn't sleep and kept listening to the noise outside.

Yangzi was scolded and felt resentful: "Bah, is it because of your incompetence as a leader that everything goes wrong? If you were smart, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

However, Liuge'er, Yangzi, and the mountain people all felt that there was a 90% chance that people outside the mountain would not be able to catch the wolf.

Because there are more than one wolf, and they have been trained since birth to know that when they are chased, they will scatter and flee into the mountains. Even if people outside the mountains catch one, it is impossible to catch all the wolves.

However, they were wrong.

The scouts from Grandpa Qin and Zhong Ling's divisions were both very good at tracking. Relying on the smell of wolf urine and running traces, they chased the wolf until the next morning and finally shot the wolf that ran the farthest.

There was no other way but to kill it, I simply didn't have the energy to chase it.

The remaining three wolves were captured alive.

The news reached the town in the afternoon and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"God bless us, our ancestors bless us." Grandma Qin began to thank God again and said to Qin Xiaomi, "Okay, your grandfather is safe now. You can worship the God of Wealth now."

Because Grandpa Qin went to chase the wolf, Grandma Qin was very worried and did not allow Qin Xiaomi to pray to the God of Wealth for wealth, saying that she was afraid that if she prayed for wealth, she would not be able to pray for peace in the family, and that something might happen to Grandpa Qin.

Qin Xiaomi: "..." My grandma's superstition is so well-founded, how do I break it? Please help!
Ding-ling-ling, Qin Xiaomi rang the medicine bell and called everyone to her home: "Come, come, come, worship the God of Wealth!"

Jiang Xiaozhu, Qin Xiaomai, Qin Xiaogu, and even Qin Jingyi and Xiao Fubao from next door came to join in the fun, holding offerings, burning incense, and praying as instructed: "May the God of Wealth bless our sister Xiaomi and make her rich again this year!"

Make a fortune again?

Listen, how greedy.

A few of the younger ones prayed for wealth for Qin Xiaomi, so Qin Xiaomi herself prayed, "Please, God of Wealth, grant me strength to fight and make me invincible!"

what?
The little ones all looked at her: "Can the God of Wealth bless this?"

Qin Xiaomi: "Of course, I worship the God of Wealth and War, and that's what he's in charge of."

Xiao Fubao: "What if Grandpa Wen Caishen comes too?"

Qin Xiaomi: "...Little kid, don't talk too much."

Xiao Fubao: "Oh, I'll listen to Sister Xiaomi."

Hahaha, Second Aunt Qin really couldn't hold it in anymore.

Grandma Qin said, "When you worship the gods, you must be extremely respectful. No laughing or joking is allowed. Be serious and solemn."

After saying that, she led the younger generations in the family to worship the God of Wealth in a serious manner.

The God of Wealth is extremely popular. The whole Wei Dynasty worships the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the New Year, and the whole place is filled with smoke and fire, as if there is a thick fog.

During the worship of the God of Wealth, someone came from the county government, and it was County Magistrate Kang who came in person.

There's no other way. Such a big thing has happened, I have to come.

County Magistrate Kang came to the prison courtyard with Master Lu, a yamen runner named Lu, and other subordinates, as well as a martial arts master hired by his family, and a group of students who stayed at the local martial arts hall for the New Year. They met Liu Ge'er at the window.

Yangzi was furious and shouted, "Why is County Magistrate Kang meeting me through the window? Doesn't our status as the Young Chief mean you can't come in and talk with me?"

Shocking! This rude man actually speaks like a cultured person. How long has he been forced to recite by Liu Ge'er?!
But the magistrate of Kang County didn't even spare him a glance. He addressed Liu Ge'er directly, "I already know about the matter of the Third Chief's wife, Li. I also have irrefutable evidence that you brought the beasts to the villages outside the mountain. However, for the sake of unity and resistance against the enemy, I have decided not to pursue the case according to the criminal laws outside the mountain, but to deal with it as a personal grudge within the mountain."

"However, the Young Chieftain must be 'protected' here until the Third Chieftain and his men personally come to resolve this matter."

It was such a damn shame that even the professional Master Lu almost burst out laughing.

"Is this how the two factions of the imperial government and the army outside the mountain join hands to bully us people inside the mountain?" Liu Ge'er questioned, sneering, "Okay, this young leader will take note of this."

After saying this, he turned around and went back to the inner room, pretending to be the first one not to talk to County Magistrate Kang.

Master Lu assisted County Magistrate Kang in rebutting the claim: "Ms. Li is your wife, and you are the young leader of your village. If someone dies, how can we, the County Magistrate, handle the matter? If we, the County Magistrate, were the head of your village, we would have dealt with this matter immediately!"

"And there's the matter of you, Young Chief, bringing wolves into town. This is suspected of causing harm to human life. When the chiefs from the mountain come out, our yamen will question them about this matter and ask them to give us an explanation."

You bastards, we really give you face. You use the excuse of unity to fight the enemy to suppress us and act arrogantly outside our mountain.

"Second Young Master, I will report this matter to the government offices in the city, the capital, the provincial government, and General Liang." After County Magistrate Kang made these harsh remarks, he turned to Zhong Ling and the others and said, "Two centurions, the responsibility of protecting the Second Young Master's residence is now fully entrusted to you."
