Chapter 538: Chapter 534: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 69 [Mass Release 63]

"Brother Hai, it’s going to rain soon." Yan Jinsu’s voice was crisp and cold but made it sound gravely serious to the father and son beside her.

"Going to rain...?" Zhou Guoqing repeated in a daze, scratching the back of his head in contemplation.

The autumn harvest in their village had long been completed, even the grains meant for tribute had all been submitted!

Were they worried about the rain making the ground wet?! It’s not fire after all...

Zhou Guoqing was still young, and didn’t immediately grasp the crux of the matter, but the older Zhou Weihai caught on immediately as he thought of the checkpoints around the village, especially those with open fires!

"Damn, the bonfires are the loopholes!" Zhou Guoqing took a few minutes before he figured out the key point.

Yan Jinsu glanced at him unexpectedly and nodded.

"You rascal, when it comes to studying you’re like a block of wood, but your reactions to these things are really quick!"

Zhou Weihai felt heavily worried, but upon hearing that his younger son had quickly figured out the crux in just a little time, he felt somewhat proud for a moment; then he thought of the disgraceful report cards that the cheeky boy had brought home, and he couldn’t help but wish to revamp him!

An utter disgrace, failing three subjects!

As the group approached the entrance of the village committee, they saw Xie Jingqiang also there tugging at his sleeves by the doorway, and after nodding to each other, they sat down in the office.

"Village chief, Captain Zhou, our primary defense task right now is to ensure that the bonfires at each checkpoint can withstand the downpour. In my opinion, the Wild Wolf will definitely take advantage of the rainy weather to attack!"

"Tonight?"

"Yes, you’ve also noticed that. The Wild Wolf has been sending scouts every night, clearly not giving up but rather intending to seek vengeance thoroughly."

At these words of his aunt, Zhou Guoqing gloomily touched his nose. It was all because he was useless, burdening the whole village with enmity.

"There’s no mistake, always around two o’clock they come around for a check, those rows of eerie green eyes cannot be mistaken," Zhou Weihai nodded.

"Then, once the rain opens up the gaps, the pack of wolves will surely attack. I think it’s necessary to involve the young men of the village in the defense, at a minimum, we must lock down the area of wolf invasion! We cannot let them disturb the peaceful sleep of women and children in our village."

"It’s almost time to switch shifts, I’ll go have someone stay on duty," Zhou Weihai said immediately; before he had finished speaking, he was already rushing out.

"Then hurry over." Seeing no one else was around, Xie Jingqiang softly leaned toward Yan Jinsu and asked:

"Sister-in-law, there won’t be any problems, right?"

"No, Brother Qiang, eventually it comes down to your supervision. This pack of Wild Wolf is just about ten or so. Currently, in our village alone, just counting the able-bodied men, we have nearly sixty, with a six-to-one ratio, as long as they’re not cowardly or scared, there won’t be any serious injuries."

Xie Jingqiang couldn’t help but laugh and cry as he looked at Yan Jinsu’s indifferent little face, the thought of her saying ’just about ten or so’ made him feel weak all over.

The misunderstanding between him and her has existed from the start!
