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

We need to hurry, because it gets dark very early on the grasslands.

It gets dark around 5:30, and it's almost 5 o'clock now.

So everyone should hurry up.

After the vehicle drove a while longer, Yang Dalin noticed dozens of white dots under a mound in the distance.

There were also a few black dots, standing in front of the white dots.

There are more than a dozen black dots ahead of the first black dot.

Yang Dalin quickly told his colleague, the driver of car number two, and pointed, "Brother Zhang, that direction."

"Drive faster, it looks dangerous."

The driver of car number two, Brother Zhang, was very calm and had excellent driving skills.

Without saying a word, he ran in the direction Yang Dalin pointed.

Yang Dalin took out a gun from the back seat.

Yang Dalin instructed the Mongolian child to sit properly, hold onto the bottom of the seat, and secure himself.

Brother Zhang asked him, "What's wrong? Is there some danger?"

Yang Dalin said, "It looks like there's a pack of wolves that have surrounded the people and the flock of sheep."

After Brother Zhang gets close, don't stop immediately. Drive around the outer perimeter and I'll disperse the wolf pack, trying to shoot down as many wolves as possible.

This will reduce the losses of sheep for herders in the future.

At this point, ecological protection is not a concern; whenever wolves attack people or sheep, the only response is to fight back.

Moreover, there were many wolves at that time, and the survival pressure on people on the grassland was quite high.

Yang Dalin's line of sight is more than a kilometer long during the day, and given that this is on the vast grassland, the visibility is even better.

However, it's a short drive, so you can get there quickly.

Yang Dalin originally intended to fire from the driver's seat.

Then I thought, with children around, firing a gun in this small space would definitely make a lot of noise.

Don't damage children's ears with the vibrations.

Besides, it's not very convenient to shoot from the side.

Yang Dalin suggested, "Brother Zhang, slow down the vehicle, no need to stop. I'll go to the back of the truck bed; that way it'll be easier to fire."

There's a child in the driver's seat; don't let the noise damage his ears.

Brother Zhang asked, "Is it okay? Can you jump onto the car?"

Yang Dalin said, "It's alright, don't worry."

For Yang Dalin's safety, Brother Zhang then slowed down the car considerably.

Yang Dalin added, "Keep an eye on the kids."

After saying that, Yang Dalin opened the door, jumped out of the truck, rolled over, got up, ran a couple of steps, and then climbed into the truck bed.

Brother Zhang drove around in a small circle and, seeing that Yang Dalin was no longer in sight, knew that he had already gotten into the car.

Then he charged toward the wolf pack that he could now see clearly.

Because of the weeds, he couldn't see how many wolves there were, but he could see three people and a flock of sheep being surrounded by wolves next to a mound.

Moreover, he could clearly see that there were several wolves preparing to ambush him on the mound.

The three herders were positioned in a triangular formation to protect the flock of sheep.

Each of them had a horse hiding behind them, and each person was accompanied by a burly dog.

The three herders consisted of a burly woman, a strong boy, and a young girl.

Each person also has a wooden stick in their hand.

The child sitting in the driver's seat was also pointing ahead and shouting.

As soon as Brother Zhang drove close to the wolf pack, the wolves reacted.

Three wolves suddenly appeared and chased the vehicle.

As a result, Yang Dalin discovered them from the back of the house. Ignoring the three wolves, he first fired at the wolves that posed the greatest threat on the hillside.

"Bang……"

"Bang……"

The gunshots carried far, and Yang Dalin's shots were unerring. The three wolves above were stationary targets, but even though he was moving, it didn't prevent Yang Dalin from easily hitting them.

A wolf on the mound, possibly the wolf king, after Yang Dalin fired three shots.

Those chasing the vehicle heard wolves howling and decided to give up.

They ran away.

Will Yang Dalin let them go?

"Bang, bang, bang," three shots were fired in quick succession, and the three wolves were also killed.

The remaining wolves, howling in fear, quickly took off running.

Brother Zhang chased after them for a while in his car, but the remaining seven or eight wolves started running around in all directions.

That made it harder to catch up, so Brother Zhang quickly turned the car around.

They drove up to the young herdsman.

The other two herdsmen also led their horses toward the girl.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, Yang Dalin got out and carried the little boy out of the driver's seat.

The little boy ran quickly toward the herdsmen.

He chattered away to the three of them.

This probably explains the origin of Yang Dalin and his group; they were invited by their father to help.

The three herdsmen approached Yang Dalin and Brother Zhang, bowed to them, and thanked them.

Yang Dalin couldn't understand what he was saying.

I understand the general meaning; it should be gratitude towards them.

Yang Dalin and Brother Zhang hurriedly bowed in return, and Brother Zhang even tried to help them up.

As a result, the other person quickly straightened up as well.

Yang Dalin was thinking about how to tell her that it was getting late and they should hurry up and leave.

To everyone's surprise, the Mongolian girl, who was bundled up tightly, said, "Thank you."

Yang Dalin was delighted: "You're welcome. You can speak Chinese?"

The girl tugged at the sheepskin coat around her neck, revealing a beautiful smile.

Her skin looks quite fair, unlike the wheat-colored skin with rosy cheeks common in this area.

The girl said, "I'm from Shanghai, so naturally I can speak Mandarin."

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin seemed to understand that this girl might be a character from a play called "Children of the Nation" that he had seen in his previous life.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, due to severe natural disasters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, children's welfare institutions suffered from food shortages and could not continue to operate. Then, with the concern of Premier and Women's Federation Chairman Kang, Chairman Wu of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region suggested that these southern orphans be dispersed to herders' homes for care.

As a result, more than 3,000 orphans were adopted by families on the grassland.

One of the most remarkable mothers from the grasslands adopted twenty-eight orphans from Shanghai.

Later, this grassland mother was awarded the title of People's Role Model.

With a translator, things become much easier.

Yang Dalin said, "Let's not stand on ceremony. It's getting late, let's head back quickly."

Your father is probably getting impatient.

After listening, the girl chattered away with the other two herdsmen for a few minutes.

Then Yang Dalin told Brother Zhang to take the herdsman's child and the woman back first.

He, the young herdsman, and the young woman from Shanghai followed behind, slowly herding their sheep back home.

Brother Zhang asked, "Are you sure you can ride a horse?"

Yang Dalin said, "It's alright, the speed isn't fast. I'll take this opportunity to learn how to ride a horse. At worst, I'll just run."

Otherwise, it will be too dangerous for them on their way back. I have a gun, so I can protect them and make sure they walk slowly. There won't be any problems.

Brother Zhang, let me kill a few wolves first, then you can take them back.

"We'll be fine if we travel light."

After saying this, Yang Dalin asked the girl to translate and the boy to help kill the wolf.

Unexpectedly, the herdswoman and the young girl from Shanghai also joined the wolf-slaying team. They both had knives, so they were very quick at killing the wolves.

Yang Dalin threw away all the wolf's internal organs; he didn't want them.

It would also be a good opportunity to feed the other wild animals that smelled the blood.

Learn how to hunt in Northeast China and hang the intestines on tree branches.

To save them from chasing after him by the smell of blood.
