Age: My Small World

As the days passed, just when Yang Jun thought his trip to the grasslands would end so easily,

That day, while they were digging potatoes in the field, they were startled by a whistle and looked up into the distance.

"Oh no, it's a wolf!"

The brigade leader, Uncle Tumen, immediately roared, "Bater!"

A lithe figure darted out from the other side of the river.

"Uncle Tumen, I heard that, and I've already sent someone to call everyone over."

Batel was the squad leader of the brigade's security team, leading a team of six men responsible for the safety of the village.

If wolves appear in the village now, they must rush to their aid immediately.

Before long, six grassland men carrying long guns appeared one after another and followed Batel northward.

The reason why the seven members of the protection team are here is because the wolf pack usually appears near Lake Chahar, since they also need water.

Therefore, in order to protect everyone's safety, they often hide in a corner of Chahar Lake to conduct reconnaissance.

Unfortunately, it now appears that a pack of wolves has headed north.

Of course, the guards weren't in a particular hurry, because the shepherds watching over the sheep were also armed, and they had a dozen or so grassland dogs, also called grassland mastiffs. They were smaller than Tibetan mastiffs, but very obedient and fierce, and even dared to fight wolves, making them perfect for watching over sheep.

"A pack of wolves has appeared today. For everyone's safety, please go back first."

To prevent any accidents from happening to the students, Uncle Tumen decided to be cautious and arrange for them to return home first.

And so, having finished half of their work, everyone picked up their tools and headed back the way they came.

The students were very excited, after all, they were able to rest for half a day.

Some people also started discussing wolf packs with great interest.

At this point, some girls will start to look at Yang Jun.

"Yang Jun, we remember you killed a bear before, so you shouldn't be afraid of wolves, right? Shall we go and take a look together?"

Yang Jun was speechless; these girls were really bold.

Because there were too few boys in the class, the boys were also dispersed as the girls were dispersed, mainly to ensure that each group had boys, so that it would be easier to look after them.

Given Yang Jun's abilities, he was the only boy on their class's team.

"I think it's better to go back and hide. Wolves are much scarier than you think."

In other words, they haven't learned the story of the wolf yet, otherwise they would definitely know how cunning wolves are, even as clever as humans.

If you really encounter a wolf, most people will definitely not have a good ending.

Not everyone is like Yang Jun, who can recruit wolves to his own advantage.

"Tch, so you're such a coward, afraid of wolves?"

Even though they knew Yang Jun had really killed a bear, the girls couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was really hard to associate Yang Jun with a bear-killing hero.

Seeing that he refused, the girls didn't say anything more, but they were probably all secretly criticizing him.

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiaoshan, it's better if we go back and hide."

Cheng Xiaoyu was quite happy, feeling that personal safety was the most important thing.

She didn't care if Xiaoshan became a hero or anything; all she wanted was for the two of them to be safe and sound.

"Okay, you should get some rest when you get back. You've been exhausted these past few days."

"Okay." Yang Jun pinched her little cheek, and then they each returned to their homes.

When we arrived at Brother Malha's house, we saw his son, Little Batu, walking around. The little guy was seven or eight years old, but he was quite tall and looked very strong.

"Little Batu, why are you spinning around here? Where's your father?"

Little Batu had actually attended primary school, but he wasn't very fluent in Mandarin. At that moment, he was about to say something to Yang Jun in Mandarin, but unfortunately, he ended up speaking Mongolian.

Fortunately, after about ten days of study, Yang Jun had a basic grasp of spoken Mongolian and could understand what Xiao Batu was saying.

"What? Brother Malha is surrounded by wolves?"

Yang Jun frowned.

He spoke in Mongolian, which Little Batu naturally understood.

Although he was somewhat surprised that Batu could speak Mongolian, his primary concern at that moment was still his father.

He then said eagerly, "Father is a shepherd, and he went to herd sheep today."

It turns out that Malha was also one of the shepherds of the brigade. No wonder we didn't see him when he was doing farm work; he was out herding sheep.

"Batu, don't worry, I'll go check on the situation."

I was saying I wouldn't go, but now I have no choice but to go.

Yang Jun told Xiao Batu to stay home and then took a wood-chopping knife from the Malha family and went out.

Heading north, the entire route is through grasslands.

Because walking was too slow, he started running quickly.

In fact, because the grassland was so vast, he could already see the situation on the other side of the pasture from afar.

There were three shepherds and a dozen or so Tibetan mastiffs, who were currently engaged in a back-and-forth tug-of-war with more than twenty wolves.

As for the sheep, they had huddled in a corner of the pasture, not daring to move.

"Bang!" The occasional gunshots served as a warning to the shepherd, but unfortunately, they did not deter the hungry wolves from retreating. Instead, the wolves bared their teeth and moved even closer.

"Mahlah, we're here."

At that moment, Batel and his group arrived at Malha's side first.

The presence of ten men and ten guns reassured them for a moment.

But at this moment, Yang Jun's eyes widened, and without hesitation, he shouted a warning in Mongolian: "Behind you!"

The sound carried far, causing Malha and the others to look at Yang Jun. After hearing it clearly, they turned around in horror.

With wolves in front of them and a pasture behind them, they subconsciously relaxed. As a result, the wolves actually knew to use the sheep as cover, hiding behind the sheep to prepare for a sneak attack.

Even Batel and the others who had just arrived didn't notice. Luckily, Yang Jun came over, otherwise there would have been a real mess.

"Bang bang bang!" Gunshots rang out instantly, and the wolf pack that rushed out from behind the sheep lost three or four of them. The remaining wolf whimpered and ran away, clearly knowing that it was no longer of any use.

The twenty-odd wolves in front also slowly retreated after one of them let out a howl.

Someone wanted to fire, but Batel stopped them.

"No need to fight anymore, these things will hold a grudge if we keep fighting them."

Yes, wolves can hold grudges and may even seek revenge on those who kill their companions.

Even though several wolves have been killed, the pack might refrain from causing trouble in the village due to safety concerns. However, if the alpha wolf suffers heavy casualties, the village will certainly be in turmoil from now on, unless the entire pack is wiped out in the first place. (End of Chapter)
