The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

The howls of wolves echoed from all around. Only when Yang Dalin could no longer see the wolves did he stop and pull the trigger.

Captain Xiao, who was below, heard the gunfire stop and shouted, "Dalinzi, what's going on?"

While cautiously observing his surroundings, Yang Dalin answered loudly, "I left several wolves on all four sides, but they haven't left yet. They've just moved far away, and I can't see them for the time being."

Don't let your guard down too much. Captain Xiao, could you arrange for someone to boil some hot water so everyone can drink some to warm themselves up?

"This wolf is very clever. Since we didn't kill the alpha wolf, I can't see it for now. I estimate we'll need to wait until dawn, otherwise they might launch another attack, and we'll be in danger."

Captain Xiao has ample combat experience. He was able to come to the grasslands this time because he had been there several times before.

He knew the cunning and wisdom of the steppe wolf.

Upon hearing this, Captain Xiao replied, "Okay, I understand. Stay on guard, and I'll arrange for someone to boil water right away."

See if you can find the wolf king. Once you find it, kill it first, otherwise wolves hold grudges and we might have to be careful of them attacking us for the next few days.

Let's stay here and keep watch, everyone take turns.

Tian Xueyi also shouted, "Captain Xiao, send two more people up with guns. I can't see clearly from a distance. Da Linzi has good eyesight, send two more to help him load the bullets."

This way, they can keep firing for a while, resulting in greater casualties.

Captain Xiao thought, "That's a good idea."

Then two drivers were arranged to come up with fully loaded rifles.

Yang Dalin continued to observe his surroundings.

Although he was too far away to see the wolf pack, Yang Dalin would quickly fire a shot whenever one came within his line of sight.

A few wolf carcasses were left behind, daring to peek out.

It was still very dangerous outside, so Yang Dalin and the others didn't dare to go outside to retrieve the wolf carcass.

We can only wait.

Yang Dalin thought to himself that if he brought the wolf carcass back, he could just stew it and give everyone a late-night snack.

Yang Dalin was getting restless.

However, if it were just him, he would really like to give it a try.

But with Brother Tian and two colleagues by his side, they certainly wouldn't agree to him going out on his own.

Yang Dalin racked his brains trying to come up with a solution.

If I don't bring the wolf back soon, its meat will rot and I'll be doomed.

Although I've heard that wolf meat doesn't taste good, if I don't try to salvage it, the wolf meat will completely rot and freeze. It will be difficult to skin a wolf, and the meat will probably be ruined as well.

Yang Dalin glanced at the convoy below and suddenly had an idea.

He whispered to Tian Xueyi and the others beside him, "Brother Tian, ​​I must have killed at least a dozen wolves. If we don't bring them back soon, it will be a waste."

Wolves also have the habit of eating the corpses of their own kind.

Should we...?

Tian Xueyi knew that Yang Dalin also cherished food, but this was too dangerous, so he quickly pulled his hand and said, "We can't go now, it's too dangerous."

Yang Dalin explained, "Brother Tian, ​​I know we can't walk. Let's drive our car over there. You turn on the headlights and drive, and I'll use a hook in the back. When you see the wolf carcass, slow down a bit and I'll hook it onto the car, okay?"

Do you think this idea is feasible?

Or let's go south first, and I'll find an opportunity to see if we can kill the wolf king.

Otherwise, it would be too cold for everyone to stay like this on such a cold night; it definitely wouldn't work in a long time.

Even if we can't kill the wolf king, getting a few wolf carcasses to stew some wolf meat for everyone would be fine.

Tian Xueyi thought it was a good idea, but he was also worried that if they went down there, wolves might come from the surrounding area, which would be troublesome.

Just as Tian Xueyi was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a loud wolf howl from the south side.

Then he noticed that suddenly, many wolves were rushing towards him from all directions in a very scattered manner.

Yang Dalin didn't have time to say anything more; he grabbed his gun and immediately opened fire.

All four guns were fully loaded with bullets.

After firing all the bullets in one gun, Yang Dalin quickly switched to the second gun handed to him by the person next to him.

Yang Dalin shouted loudly, "The wolf pack is coming again! Everyone be careful!"

Without saying a word, Tian Xueyi and the others quickly pressed down on the bullets.

Before long, Yang Dalin killed several more in various directions.

Several of the closer birds were already not far from the convoy.

After Yang Dalin fired twenty shots, the wolf king in the wolf pack began to howl again.

The wolf pack retreated again in an instant.

Damn, that was close! Those guys suddenly charged all at once.

Fortunately, Yang Dalin fired quickly enough, and there was someone specifically tasked with loading bullets. This time, only a dozen or so wolves retreated, and it's estimated that the wolf pack was severely weakened.

Yang Dalin said to Brother Tian and the others, "Brother Tian, ​​not many wolves have gone back. I guess they won't dare to come back anytime soon. I'm going to try the method I just mentioned."

Go downstairs and discuss it with Captain Xiao. If he agrees, you can take our car.

"With these two guys guarding this place for a while, will everything be alright?"

Both drivers were retired soldiers, and with guns in hand, they weren't afraid at all.

However, one of the older brothers suddenly said, "Dalinzi, I know you mean well, but have you forgotten something?"

Our car seems difficult to start in this cold weather.

You should first check if the hot water is ready; fill it with hot water first.

Damn it, Yang Dalin suddenly remembered that everyone had drained all the water in the carriage that evening and used it to wash their hands and faces.

Otherwise, in this cold weather, it would be troublesome if it froze.

Every morning when starting the car, you need to fill it with boiling water.

Otherwise, starting your car on a winter morning can be quite a struggle.

After listening, Tian Xueyi said, "Okay, I'll go down and take a look first. Once the water is boiled, I'll fill the car with water, start the engine, and then you can come down."

If Captain Xiao doesn't agree to let you go, then you should stay put and wait until dawn.

Yang Dalin nodded: "Okay, Brother Tian, ​​you go ahead. The three of us are fine here for now."

Brother Tian went downstairs and then muttered a few words to Captain Xiao.

Captain Xiao did not agree immediately; he first asked Tian Xueyi to check if the water was boiled.

He walked up on his own.

He walked up to Yang Dalin and asked, "Dalinzi, are you confident?"

Yang Dalin said, "It's not a big problem. There are a few wolves I killed at the place where I set up the bells on the south side. It's the closest place to us, so we don't need to move the car. Let's bring those over first."

"Just the two of us going, Captain Xiao, are you up for the task?"

Captain Xiao chuckled: "What's there to be afraid of?"

But first, observe your surroundings to make sure no more wolves come up. Let's go and come back quickly.

"Being able to eat some meat late at night gives me a lot of motivation."

Yang Dalin said, "Okay, let's go down, and Brother Xiao will call two more people."

You two are responsible for dragging the wolf meat, and I'll be responsible for guarding the area; that way, it'll be safer.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Captain Xiao instructed the two men on the hillside to continue their vigilance and gave them both a flashlight.

After looking around and finding no further movement, Yang Dalin and Captain Xiao descended the hillside.
