Chapter 101: Cruel Ways to Harm Others

What followed was a melee. Mo Ziyuan, Gao Yong and Chu Yu did not use their full strength, but many young and strong men from the village who joined in later fought hard. They paid the price of more than ten people being scratched and two people having a piece of flesh bitten off their legs, but more than a dozen wolves were left dead.

The rest of the wolves ran back to the mountain under the leadership of the wolf king.

"This is bad. Wolves are the most vengeful. You never know when they will come back for revenge." The old hunter who came with the patriarchs of the three clans looked at the wolf corpses on the ground, slapped his thigh and said sadly. The hunters in the village also looked unhappy.

"Ah! My pigs, my pigs! Why did this damn wolves get into my house? My pigs are almost ready to be slaughtered, but they are killed like this! Oh God! Why don't you open your eyes? How can we live like this?" The hostess's crying voice came from the backyard.

"Oh!" Everyone in the yard sighed in their hearts. It was really pitiful to encounter such a disaster.

"Since the wolves have run away, let's go back first." Mo Ziyuan politely bowed to the three clan leaders and said goodbye. They were outsiders and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the village.

"Thank you all for your help tonight, otherwise who knows what the consequences would be! We will come to thank you again tomorrow." Lin Feng, the newly appointed patriarch of the Lin family, returned a salute to Mo Ziyuan and the others and spoke politely.

"No need to thank me. We all live in the same village, so this is what we should do. I'm just ashamed that I couldn't help much."

"Brother Mo is being modest, being modest."

The two exchanged a few witty remarks before Mo Ziyuan and the others were allowed to pass.

"You guys go back first, I'll go see Miss Lin." When they arrived at the door of Lin Xin's house, Mo Ziyuan said to Gao Yong and Chu Yu.

"I know, I know. Miss Lin's safety is in your hands. We won't follow you around to get in the way. Let's go back and protect Nan Nan!" Gao Yong winked at him, looking so disgusting that it was unbearable to look at.

"Get lost!" Mo Ziyuan cursed with a smile, pretending to kick him.

Gao Yong let out a strange cry and jumped away, running away laughing, but he didn't forget to pull Chu Yu with him.

After they were far away, Mo Ziyuan climbed over the wall of Lin Xin's house, walked to the main room and knocked gently on the door.

Lin Xin hadn't fallen asleep to begin with, so when she heard the noise, she hurried over and opened the door.

"You're back! How's things over there? Where's the wolf?" She pulled him to sit down in the main room, poured him a cup of hot water from the kettle on the stove and asked.

"More than a dozen wolves died, and the rest ran away. The family is fine. It seems that the pigs raised in the backyard were all bitten to death, and several people who were hunting wolves were injured." Mo Ziyuan answered after taking a sip of hot water.

"That's really unfortunate. They're about to slaughter the pigs in winter. They must be heartbroken. Those injured ones should also be shown some respect!"

"Yeah! When we came back, the woman was still crying over her pig in the backyard!"

Lin Xin was amused. "It's strange, the wolves left our two families alone and went after theirs. Is it because we don't have pigs?"

"How is that possible? I took a closer look and saw a lot of chicken blood poured into the corner of that family's backyard. I guess the smell of blood attracted the wolves there," Mo Ziyuan sneered. "Huh? That's too cruel! Is there some deep, irreconcilable vendetta?" Lin Xin asked curiously.

"Hehe, not all the people in this village are kind, some of them are quite bad! Just wait and see, this matter is not over yet." Mo Ziyuan sneered again.

"Hmm?" Lin Xin leaned closer to him suspiciously, glancing at him sideways and asking, "Do you know something? Tell me!"

"You've lived here for more than ten years and you don't know anything. I've only been here for a few days, what can I know?" Mo Ziyuan pushed her arm away and drank water seriously.

"It's okay, you can talk about it or not. I'm not curious anyway. Just don't get involved with me." Lin Xin shrugged indifferently.

Mo Ziyuan choked and didn't continue. Then Lin Xin realized that this matter should not be simple. It was definitely not just someone leading a pack of wolves into the village to kill two pigs, so she quickly retreated.

"Be careful these past two days. Wolves are very vengeful. We've suffered a great loss this time, so you never know when they'll come back for revenge. How about you..." Mo Ziyuan hesitated, his ears turning red. "How about you move in with us for a few days? Wait until the wolf pack is completely dealt with, and then move back."

Lin Xin shook her head like a rattle. "I'm not going. If I really go, who knows what those stinky villagers will say! I'm too lazy to listen. Besides, have you forgotten that I can protect myself?"

Mo Ziyuan thought about it and felt that it was true. Lin Xin's ability was indeed stronger than his. It was hard to say who would protect whom at that time!
So he readily retracted his suggestion, but still said with a desperate struggle: "Okay, you just be careful, I'll go back first. Lin Nan, don't worry. If he wants to come back, I'll be responsible for sending him back. If he doesn't say so, let him stay with us for now!"

"Okay, I get it. But don't spoil him too much. You have to intervene when necessary!" Although Lin Xin knew that Lin Nan was very reliable, she still couldn't help but give him a reminder. Maybe this is the gene engraved in the bones of Chinese people!

"Don't worry, I absolutely treat him as my own brother. I will definitely take action when it's time to intervene. Don't feel bad when the time comes, just come to me to settle the score."

"Of course not. Am I such a badass parent?"

"I was just saying that, why did you take it so seriously?" Mo Ziyuan drank the hot water in the cup in one gulp, stood up and said, "Then I'll be back. Be careful, okay? If you need anything, just shout. I can hear you from this close."

"I know. Why are you nagging like an old man? Let's go!" Lin Xin pushed Mo Ziyuan out the door and slammed the gate in front of him.

Mo Ziyuan took a deep breath as he looked at the door that nearly hit his nose, then suddenly smiled. This was good, at least it showed that she was quite close to him. Hadn't he even "personally" kicked him out?

After figuring this out, Mo Ziyuan was happy and walked home briskly.

People on both sides slept well, but few villagers could sleep because the pool of chicken blood was eventually discovered.

"It's too late now, let's all go back and rest! We'll investigate this matter thoroughly tomorrow to see who came up with such a cruel method to harm people." The heads of the three families all dissuaded their clansmen.

"No, what if the bad guy escapes at night? We have to investigate now. I want to see how our family, who doesn't steal or rob, could have offended anyone. How could someone want to harm us? They won't leave us any chance to survive!" The hostess of the house where the wolf had entered, put her hands on her hips, with tears on her face, and stopped people from leaving.
