Chapter 242 - The Wild Beasts Went Down The Mountain
Their eyes were bloodthirsty and vicious. There was also a trace of cold-blooded cunningness… When their eyes met, all the adult men in Yunwu Village shivered!
Oh, this was too shocking.
The jackals' tails were stiff, and their eyes were merciless and cold. Their faces were filled with the viciousness of biting, hunting, and resisting. They were not as cunning and terrifying as the leopards, but they could make peoples' legs go soft.
As for the tiger among them… It had yellowish-brown fur with patterns. Its extremely strong body was almost as tall as an adult and had the strength of a small mountain.. Its muscles were filled with oppressive might and were intimidating. Its broad feet were the size of a leopard's head. It was so tall and big, but its four feet landed on the snow silently, creating another kind of terror…
The tiger's face looked the cutest. Its ears were far away, and its face was similar to a cat's. However, when one looked into its bloodthirsty eyes, it made one shiver. People froze and could no longer move.
It had to be said that there was a difference between a tiger and other fierce beasts. When this adult tiger walked out, the leopard and jackals, which were fierce enough, seemed to be a level lower.
However, Yunwu Village was now facing the gathering of these fierce beasts!
There were fierce tigers with the most terrifying strength, and jackals and leopards with the strongest biting and hunting skills!
The gathered villagers felt a chill on their backs and broke out in cold sweat. Their legs almost went limp and they lost their strength.
What should they do… With all these fierce beasts added up, even if the men in the village gathered together and resisted with all their might, they would still be unable to defeat them!
Most of them would be bitten to death!
Moreover, these fierce beasts could not be caught at all. Once they barged into the village and wreaked havoc everywhere, no one could stop them. They might run out before the men could stop them and bite the children hiding at the end of the village…
Not to mention, only a few fierce beasts were walking over now, but the men were already retreating in fear.
"Oh no, the fierce beasts ran down the mountain. Our village is doomed!"
"Can we hide at home?!"
The villagers looked back at the village in panic. "How can we hide back home?! Our houses are all wide open. There's only the courtyard and no wall. Look at the houses at the foot of the mountain. The wild beasts just charged in and bit the livestock to death. These fierce beasts couldn't be stopped at all!"
"The entire village…" The villager's gaze swept past the Guan family's house in the village. The wall was high and there were sharp thorns. It looked out of place but was firm and safe. He said, "Only the Guan family can hide at home and hide from these wild beasts…"
At this moment, the villagers finally regretted it.
At that time, when the Guan family started to build the wall, there were actually many mocking and sarcastic comments from the villagers.
There were many people paying attention to the Guan family, watching the excitement.
However, more than sixty percent of the villagers also discussed privately in the direction of ridicule. They mocked the Guan family for losing their minds. They asked what danger there could be when there were only these families in the village and everyone knew each other. They questioned if there was a need to spend so much effort to build such a high wall?
The Guan family had money, but they did not know how to spend it. They actually spent it all on building a wall!
It was hilarious.
This was called 'being the poor' illness. Even if one had money, they did not know how to spend it. Doing unnecessary things was embarrassing.
If this money was given to them, they could buy rice and grains without any worries. They could even save up and move out of the village in the future to live in the city. Wouldn't that be reasonable?!
After living in the village for so many years, no family had built a wall!
The Guan family was simply making an unnecessary move. No one knew what they were thinking!
Most of the villagers were jealous of the Guan family for having money, so they deliberately said unpleasant words. It was as if the Guan family was rich but brainless.
Those words were even a little heart-wrenching. The Guan family had heard them often back then.
News of this had spread throughout the village. Even if it wasn't that overboard, there were still people who spoke sarcastically and mocked the Guan family.
The Guan family pretended not to hear and remembered what Ye Lulu had said about 'personal safety.'
The three babies had almost been carried away by hooligans, which was why the Guan family spent so much money to build the wall.
It was not that the villagers had forgotten about the incident with the babies. However, when they saw the Guan family hiring those workers, using mud bricks, and building such a tall wall…
It was a huge formation.
How much did this cost? How much money did this Guan family have?
This thought made many villagers treat the Guan family with more malice. The matter with the wall had indeed attracted the ridicule of many villagers.
However, now…
The expressions of the villagers were dark and gloomy, and they carried a terrified yearning. Yes, if fierce beasts ran into the village and they wanted to hide at home to avoid them, only the Guan family with a wall in Yunwu Village could do so!
Perhaps those fierce beasts could not push down or jump into the Guan family's tall wall!
In other words, even if they could not hit the wall and enter, there were still many people and houses in the village. The fierce beasts could just go and wreak havoc in other houses. There was no need to force their way into the Guan family.
Therefore, the Guan family's house might be the only place to hide!
More and more villagers looked at the Guan family's courtyard as they spoke, their eyes filled with regret. They regretted saying unpleasant words to the Guan family and not knowing how to build a wall. They only regretted it when danger came…
The villagers did not have the intention to hide with the Guan family because they knew that no matter how big the Guan family's courtyard was, it could not hold the entire village. Furthermore, the men from the Guan family were not to be trifled with. If the Guan family did not let other villagers in, it would be difficult for them to barge in as well.
Therefore, the villagers could only feel regret.
Their opinions of the Guan family building a wall had all changed. The villagers looked at the wild beasts in extreme panic and kept retreating. They said with a trembling voice, "Why don't we let the elders and children in the village hide in the Guan family's house while the rest escape? The Guan family shouldn't be so heartless as to not care about the elders and children, right? We adults will run out and leave the village to these wild beasts. They can run wild in the village, so they shouldn't waste their time chasing after us…"
Actually, this method was not impossible.
On the contrary, it was quite smart. It was equivalent to giving up on the things in the village. They didn't even want the houses or livestock anymore and would just run for their lives first. If the Guan family could resist the wild beasts, the Guan family's house could also hide the elderly and children.
