There's a trap in Chapter 73.
There's a trap in Chapter 73.
The little wolf quickly got up and jumped out of the window. Wen Luozhi held her breath and tiptoed to the window to look outside.
Wen Zhuzi, outside the courtyard wall, had already begun to gather his strength and climb upwards. His position was exactly the spot he had scouted out earlier, which was the wall where Wen Luozhi had dug the pit.
He was a little scared when he looked down after climbing up; it was so high! He wanted to go home!
As Wen Zhuzi trembled, he was about to turn around and jump down when he inadvertently saw the piece of pork belly hanging at the kitchen door. His eyes fell on the piece of meat, and he couldn't bear to take it down.
He stared at the meat for a while, wiped his mouth, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and jumped down.
"Ah!" He twisted his ankle as soon as he stepped down and fell into a ditch. He touched his butt and looked at it, then screamed again in fright.
Lots of blood! His butt!
The screams woke the sleeping family, and everyone quickly put on their clothes and came to the yard.
Wen Zhuzi tried to stand up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, but Wen Luozhi gave the order, "Ba Tian Shang! Bite this thief to death!"
The little wolf was very pleased with this and rushed up to bite Wen Zhuzi indiscriminately.
Although it is still a cub, its teeth are already very sharp.
The pain of his flesh being pierced made Wen Zhuzi scream, "Get away from me, you beast! You're biting me to death! Get away from me!"
He struggled to pull a hand out of the wolf's mouth to hit the wolf cub, but the wolf cub's pupils narrowed and it bit even harder.
"Shut this beast up, you brat! I'm your third uncle!"
With pain in his buttocks and body, Wen Zhuzi couldn't take it anymore and shouted. Wen Luozhi pretended not to hear him and waited for him to shout a second time before letting Xiaolang come back.
Everyone except Xiao Hu and Wen Zizhong came out of the house.
Wen Muchuan lit an oil lamp, walked to Wen Zhuzi's side, shone it on his face, and coldly snorted, "Coming to my house in the middle of the night to steal things, huh?"
Wen Zhuzi, his eyes darting around and sweating profusely, tried to explain, "Second brother, isn't this a misunderstanding? Third brother couldn't sleep late at night, so he said he wanted to go for a walk, but..."
"And then you accidentally fell into my yard, got your butt stabbed, and were bitten by a dog, right?" Wen Zi'an stood in front of him like a small mountain, arms crossed.
He now understood why his sister had dug so many holes under the courtyard wall before going to bed. It wasn't to keep out weasels, as he had thought, but to catch this lazy and greedy thief!
Wen Zhuzi's face froze. He raised his finger, the one that hadn't been bitten, and pointed at Wen Zi'an, yelling, "You brat! How dare you interrupt your third uncle? Help me up right now!"
Then he raised his arm high, as if to say, "Hurry up and help me up."
Wen Zi'an frowned, reached out and lifted him up by the collar.
A thorn was ripped off his buttock, causing him to scream in pain, "You short-lived brat, are you trying to die?! I'm your third uncle!"
"Fourth Brother, quickly throw this thief out and come back to sleep."
Wen Luozhi patted her mouth and yawned. Who cares about his third, fourth, fifth, or sixth uncle? Just throw them all out and that's it.
She picked up the wolf cub, gave it a thumbs-up, and said, "Well done, extra treat tomorrow."
Worried that Wen Zhuzi would disturb the family's sleep, Wen Zian thoughtfully left him halfway and went back to sleep without looking back.
Wen Zhuzi was trying to cover his bleeding buttocks with one hand, and also his arm that had been bitten by the wolf cub; he simply couldn't manage both.
He simply stopped covering it up, picked up a broken stick from the ground, and limped home with his buttocks sticking out.
When he reached the door of the old house, he was too weak to continue and cried out at the top of his lungs, "Mother! Mother! Wu Hong! Please come and save me! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
He leaned over the door and called out a few more times. Hearing the sound, Old Zhou got up and scrambled to open the door.
She was terrified when she saw the bloodstains on her youngest son's bottom. She quickly helped him up and asked, "My darling! Where did you fall in the middle of the night!"
Wen Zhuzi was in too much pain to speak, but pointed in the direction of his house with one hand, indicating that they should take him inside quickly.
Wu Hong watched as Old Zhou cursed at her, "Are you dead?! Don't you know to hurry up and carry your husband inside to lie down?!"
Wu Hong, who had been stunned, was immediately brought back to her senses by her shout. She pouted and walked over to let Wen Zhuzi lean on her and help him inside.
What kind of joke is this old woman making! She hasn't even had a meal, where would she get the strength to carry this useless man inside? She's dreaming!
But she could only be angry but dare not speak out. She hadn't gotten any money when she went back to her parents' home last time, so she couldn't go back again. If she offended this old man, she would have nowhere to go.
Wen Zhuzi finally fell asleep around dawn. When Wu Hong was applying the medicine, she noticed that there were a few dog teeth marks on his buttocks that had appeared out of nowhere.
The next day, just as Wen Luozhi and Yang Guilan were about to take the vegetables up the mountain, the two Sun sisters caught up with them.
"Sister Luo Zhi, Second Sister-in-law, my grandfather said we should come up the mountain to help."
Sun Sanjie said nervously, her head down, not daring to look at Wen Luozhi's face.
Because the older women in the village had said that Sister Luozhi was very fierce and would beat anyone she saw if she was unhappy.
Little did she know that Wen Luozhi was actually beating up that annoying leper in the village and that old bachelor who always harassed women and young girls.
Wen Luozhi turned to the two sisters and smiled, saying, "It's a bit far up the mountain. Have you had breakfast? Take this to tide you over."
She took out four buns—two meat buns, two vegetable buns, and two meat buns—from her basket and handed them over.
Sun Nannan glanced at her older sister, and only after seeing her nod did she cautiously accept the gift, saying, "Thank you, Sister Luo Zhi."
"Second sister-in-law, you can go back now. Just give the things to the two of us."
They also carried baskets on their own backs, thinking they would help collect stones after cooking.
The vegetables in Yang Guilan's basket weren't heavy, so she thought it would be fine and took them out and divided them into the two sisters' baskets.
There are still pigs to feed at home, so she can go back and cook pig feed.
The two sisters followed behind, eating as they walked, wrapping their meat-filled buns in leaves and putting them in their baskets.
Once they arrived in the mountains, the three-person cooking team set up the pot, with one washing vegetables, the other starting the fire, and the other cooking.
Because there were two more little girls today, the meal was prepared much earlier than yesterday.
Wen Luozhi took out a few bowls, set aside some vegetables, and then took some steamed buns and ladled out three bowls of porridge. She placed them in a shady spot and said to the two sisters, "We'll go eat over there in a little while."
She ate too much this morning and isn't actually hungry yet, but if she doesn't eat, the two sisters probably won't eat either.
They were all grown men, so it wasn't appropriate for two young girls to eat with them.
Just as Sun Sanjie was about to refuse Wen Luozhi, she said, "After we finish eating, let's go catch fish together. Whether we can have meat and vegetables tonight depends on us."
Sun Nannan's eyes sparkled as she caught fish! That was her favorite thing to do! The cool river water felt wonderful to step in.
Wen Luozhi invited everyone to eat, and Sun Sanjie stared at her slender back, somewhat lost in thought.
Those older women are talking nonsense.
……
When catching fish, the little wolf jumped into the water and caught them one by one. The two sisters, Sun Sanjie and Sun Sanjie, were getting anxious and wondered if they were even as good as a little dog.
