Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Hongsheng ran all the way home and told his mother to quickly make him something to eat. When Wang Cuilan saw that her husband and eldest son had not returned, she panicked. She had heard the commotion on the mountain last night, with howling wolves and roaring tigers, which was really frightening. She and her two daughters-in-law couldn't sleep all night because they were worried.

Wang Cuilan collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Husband, how could you leave me all alone? How am I supposed to live now? Why wouldn't you listen to reason? What are we going to do, you widow and orphan?"

The two daughters-in-law also wiped away tears. Liu Hongsheng pulled his wife over and said, "Wife, why are you crying? I'm still hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat. I have important things to do."

"Husband, what time is it? You're still thinking about food. Father and elder brother are dead, and Mother and sister-in-law are heartbroken. Can't you see how sad they are?"

"What do you mean, 'Dad died'? 'Big brother died'? You've confused me."

"You all went up the mountain together, how come you're the only one who came back? Where are Dad and my older brother?"

"Father and my elder brother are up in the mountains. They asked me to come back and invite people. Things weren't peaceful in the mountains last night, and we don't dare go if there aren't enough people."

"Mother, get up quickly, can you hear me? Father and elder brother are not dead."

"Husband, wait here, I'll go make you some food right away."

Wang Cuilan got up and gave Liu Hongsheng a hard time, "You little brat, you're all grown up and you still can't speak clearly. Tell me what happened!"

Liu Hongsheng briefly recounted his experience going down the mountain and his encounter with the people from Bainiwan. "These people are really obsessed with money. Judging from the commotion in the mountains last night, they are probably in grave danger."

"The village was also in turmoil last night. The thorny horn laughed all night, which was really creepy. There's an old saying that you shouldn't be afraid of the thorny horn's howl, but you should be afraid of its laughter. If the thorny horn laughs, someone is going to die."

Soon, Liu Hongsheng ate a bowl of porridge that his wife brought him. "Second son's wife, go and boil 10 eggs and have your second son take them to your father and your eldest brother."

While slurping his gruel, Liu Hongsheng said, "Mom, Dad told me to tell Uncle Dawang to stop work today and ask the people on the construction site to help look for someone on the mountain."

"What is your father doing? Bringing bad luck to your Uncle Wang's family. There are no other people in the village who have done this. If your Uncle Wang says this, and something happens to those people, who will be held responsible?"

"Mother, what do you suggest we do?"

"You're doing this..."

After Liu Hongsheng finished speaking, he took the gong and went to the village to bang it. "Fellow villagers, so-and-so from our village and a total of 17 people have gone into the mountains. You should all have heard the commotion in the mountains last night. My dad told me to come back and call everyone to go up the mountain to rescue them."

This time, it's not just people from our village who went into the mountains; people from Bainiwan Village also went in last night to search. Now, people from both villages need to join forces and go into the mountains together to search. Many hands make light work; we're all from the same village, and we need to rely on each other in this critical moment.

Everyone hurry home and get your gear; we'll meet here in fifteen minutes.

After Liu Hongsheng finished speaking, he went to find Liu Dawang. Upon hearing this, Liu Dawang immediately said, "Everyone, stop for a while. Take a break today and continue working tomorrow."

"What happened? Why is work stopped?"

Liu Hongsheng repeated what he had told the villagers, who complained, "What kind of nonsense is this? It's delaying everyone's work. They're all a bunch of suicidal idiots. They know it's dangerous in the mountains, but they still go. They're not satisfied with just dying themselves, they have to drag others down with them."

"Exactly! Stopping work halfway through is just bad luck for Da Wang's family!"

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

"Uncle Da Wang, I'm so sorry!"

"This is a matter of life and death, don't say anything else, I'll go with you."

Liu Dawang told his family and Master Chang about it. Master Chang understood and told them to be careful.

Liu Hongsheng led everyone up the mountain. He made a note of everyone who went today, and his father would be in charge of handling village affairs from now on.

Around 9 AM, they arrived at the mountain. Village Chief Liu glanced at the people who had come today and said, "Da Wang, I'm sorry."

Liu Dawang didn't say anything, but patted the village chief on the shoulder to show that he understood him. A while later, a large group of people also came from Bainiwan, carrying machetes and shovels. After discussing it, the two village chiefs led their men into the mountains immediately, heading towards the place where the wolves were howling.

They walked and shouted as they went, and after walking up the mountain for an unknown amount of time, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead. Everyone stopped immediately, as if someone was calling for help. "Quick, everyone, speed up! Every second counts and we might be able to save one more person."

Liu Dahu and his men finally saw the dawn. As the sun slowly rose, the wolf pack gradually left. They waited in the tree for a long, long time, but neither the wolves nor the wild boars returned.

They quickly climbed down from the tree, but before they had run far, they were surrounded by wolves. The twelve of them huddled together and worked together to fight off the wolves that charged at them. Suddenly, one of them seemed to go mad and rushed out. Seeing that things were going badly, the others ran in one direction. The wolves toyed with their prey, occasionally biting them. The despair and helplessness of these humans seemed to bring them joy, as they continued to chase and drive them away.

When Village Chief Liu and his men arrived, they witnessed this scene: everyone was waving machetes and shovels to drive away the wolves. When the alpha wolf saw so many humans, it let out a long howl, and the wolves slowly retreated. The alpha wolf regretted its actions, realizing it shouldn't have toyed with them and should have just killed them. Now, its lunch was in jeopardy.

Everyone rushed forward to catch the injured. There were only seven people left, all seriously wounded. Families searched for their own members. Liu Qingshan saw his father covered in blood and asked, "Father, where's my second brother?"

"Your second brother is gone. He was eaten by a wild boar."

Those who couldn't find their loved ones were in despair. "Village chief, please look for them again. What if they're still alive?"

"Go in and search. They're all dead. If you go in, it'll be even more dangerous inside. The whole village will perish here."

The village chief of Bainiwan Village quickly asked, "Have you encountered any people from Bainiwan?"

"no."

"Old Liu, the people from Liujia Village have been found. Quickly help us find people in our village."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements here."

"Hongyu, you quickly take these people down the mountain to find a doctor, the rest of you continue searching."

After discussing it, the two village chiefs realized that the people from Bainiwan might not be in this direction, so they searched towards the mountains in the direction of Bainiwan, calling out as they searched. The people in the cave heard someone calling and immediately said excitedly, "Brother Erdan, it sounds like someone is calling us, let's go out quickly!"

"No, there might be a bear outside. We'll be dead if we go out." Last night, there were howling wolves and roaring tigers outside, plus a bear. They barely escaped with their lives. They can't afford to die here before dawn.

"What should we do? What if they pass by? Are we going to starve to death here?"

"Stop crying, you're so whiny and annoying. I knew I shouldn't have brought you. You've been the one causing trouble all night."

"Molten Hammer, don't cry, everyone's trying to figure something out."

"Ergou, I'll move the rocks aside and go out to check. If there's any danger, you guys quickly block the entrance."

"Then what are you going to do, Erdan?"

"I will try to lure the villagers here to rescue everyone, and I will try my best to protect myself. If anything happens to me, I will entrust my mother to your care."

"Erdan, don't worry, if you don't come back, your mother will be my mother from now on."

Erdan moved the stone at the entrance of the cave and slowly climbed out. He looked around but didn't see anything. Just as he was about to shout, "Come out, everyone!" a dark shadow loomed over him. He knew something was wrong and ran away as fast as he could, shouting for help.
