Chapter 280 Shocked the whole village
Chapter 280 Shocked the whole village
Outside the woodshed, the village chief had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard. He threw the pot lid in his hand aside, raised his hand and knocked hard on the gate, shouting, "Louisa, open the door." His voice was anxious and a little tired.
Soon, the courtyard door slowly opened, and a young man holding a hunting rifle and looking nervously poked his head out. When he saw that it was the village chief standing at the door, his surprise was instantly beyond words: "Dad, you're finally back! Come in quickly. I don't know who was beating the gong just now. I'm afraid the werewolves heard the noise and are coming."
"It's okay, I was the one knocking just now."
The village chief explained as he walked in.
"What? Are you the fool who beat the gong?"
Upon hearing this, the young man was stunned, his face full of astonishment and confusion.
He had just heard the sound of gongs outside the house, and was secretly cursing in his heart which idiot was making trouble at this critical moment, but he never expected that the man was actually his father.
"What a fool! How can you talk like that?"
The village chief raised his hand and gave the young man a slap, neither too light nor too heavy, then scolded him in feigned anger, "What nonsense are you spouting, kid?"
"Julian, what's going on? Who's here?"
Just at this moment, the door of the inner room opened, and an old woman walked out with small steps, her eyes full of confusion.
"Dad is back."
Julian quickly moved aside.
"real!?"
When the old woman heard this, a smile of surprise instantly broke out on her face, and her voice became a few notes higher.
"It's me, Louisa, I'm back."
The village chief opened his arms and welcomed the old woman.
The two hugged each other tightly and cried with joy. The joy of surviving the disaster and the concern for each other blended together at this moment.
"Come on, come inside! The surviving villagers are waiting for your return!"
Louisa knew that there were still many dangers outside, so she quickly stepped aside to make way and urged the village chief to go into the house.
"What to do, they're closing."
Elena looked through the crack in the door and saw what was happening outside the gate. She turned back anxiously and asked her father.
"Forget it, since no werewolves are coming, let's get out now."
Although Leonard was still full of doubts, he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to escape, so he hurriedly gave instructions to his daughter.
"Wait a minute, Louisa, we're still outside."
Elena seized the opportunity and quickly opened the wooden door with a sense of relief, and shouted to the old woman who was about to close the door.
As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward, helped her old father up, and quickly walked out of the woodshed.
"Elena, Leonard, why are you here?"
When Louisa saw the two people, she was slightly stunned. She obviously didn't expect that there was someone hiding in her woodshed.
Hearing this, Elena glanced at Julian beside her. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident: "Don't you know why we are here? You were the ones who locked us out just now."
"Julian, what's going on?"
Louisa turned her head and looked at her son with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
She had just been comforting the villagers in the house and asked her son to meet them at the door, but she didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen. Now seeing people being locked outside, she naturally understood that her son had acted inappropriately.
"The smell of his blood will attract werewolves, so I..."
Julian glanced at the bandaged wound on Leonard's abdomen and hesitated to speak.
Although the second half of the sentence was not uttered, everyone already understood what he meant.
Werewolves have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and he was worried that the smell of blood on Leonard would attract werewolves and drag everyone down.
Therefore, we dare not let them go in and hide.
"Nonsense, he is our friend, get out of the way and let him in."
Upon hearing this, Louisa immediately blamed him, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"But his injury!" Julian was still worried and looked anxious.
"Alright... stop arguing. It doesn't matter whether you go in or not. Just go in and call all the villagers out."
Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked at the door, the village chief, who had wanted to go into the house to discuss in detail, gave up the idea of going in and directly gave orders to his son to gather the villagers in the house.
"Dad, are you crazy? The werewolves are so brutal, how can you let the villagers come out?"
When Julian heard this, his eyes widened. He thought his father was mentally ill. He actually wanted to let the villagers go out at this dangerous moment. Wasn't this obviously asking everyone to die?
"You found help!"
Louisa's eyes lit up, her face showed surprise, and she asked eagerly.
She knew very well that her husband had gone out to seek help, and now seeing him return in such a grand manner, she thought that he must have found help.
"I guess so! The werewolves have been cleared out."
The old village chief nodded slightly, looking a little tired but unable to hide his relief.
"What!? The werewolves have been cleaned up? That's great."
When Louisa and her son heard this, they were immediately delighted and hurried into the house to greet the villagers inside.
"Could it be that I'm wrong and he really found help and killed all the werewolves?"
Leonard saw the old village chief gathering the villagers, and he was full of suspicion and speculation.
After a long time, villagers began to poke their heads out from the inner house one after another, each with a nervous look on their face. Obviously, although they heard that the werewolf had been eliminated, they were still afraid of the outside world. After all, their previous experiences were too terrifying.
"Village chief, where are the reinforcements?"
A drunk man holding a bottle of wine couldn't contain his excitement and rushed out and asked loudly.
"That doesn't make sense! The mountains are snowed in, how could they have gone out to get reinforcements so quickly? The werewolves were still wreaking havoc just now, how did they clear them out so quickly?"
Some villagers also frowned and raised questions.
"Could it be that the Mother Goddess heard our prayers and came down?"
Some villagers speculated in awe.
"It's possible. Only the almighty Mother Goddess Miranda could kill all the werewolves in such a short time."
The other villagers echoed, their eyes full of piety.
"All glory to Mother Goddess Miranda!"
Many villagers spontaneously began to pray devoutly, muttering to themselves.
"Oh, Miranda, no, it was a passerby who did it."
Seeing that everyone misunderstood, the old village chief hurriedly spoke up to explain.
“A passerby!???”
The originally noisy villagers around suddenly quieted down. The scene was completely silent. Everyone looked stunned, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Those are groups of extremely ferocious werewolves!
How could a passerby wipe them all out? This sounded like a pipe dream, and it was a joke.
"Old man, you're not going to have a fever, are you? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Louisa felt sorry for her husband, reached out and gently touched the village chief's forehead, frowned and asked.
"Go away! What are you talking about? I'm fine! It was that passerby who killed us. He was holding a long knife, and with a swish, swish, swish! Those werewolves were beaten to pieces..."
Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, the old village chief got so anxious that his face turned red. He quickly described the battle scene in which Chu Xuan crushed the werewolf alone.
