Chapter 166 Thank You (1/2)

"A pack of wolves!"

"More than a dozen?!"

As soon as Chen Fengshan said this, the temperature on the threshing ground suddenly dropped, extinguishing everyone's excitement and heat.

The villagers, whose faces were just greasy and who were calculating how many ounces of meat they could get, froze instantly with smiles.

Everyone gaped, their eyes wide, and gasped in astonishment.

"My goodness! More than a dozen wolves!"

"No wonder Jianshe and the others looked as pale as paper!"

"This...this is meat we snatched from the wolf's mouth!"

The lingering fear, the belated terror, instantly overwhelmed everyone.

When they looked again at the dead wolves on the straw mat, their eyes no longer held greed, but only a chilling coldness.

If a dozen or so wolves were to charge into the village, that would be terrible!

Liu Cuihua's sharp face turned pale, and she shrank back, no longer daring to utter a word. The others who had been jeering beside her also fell silent, wishing they could disappear into the ground.

Chen Fengshan's sharp gaze swept across the crowd, and he was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

The credit should be acknowledged, but the dangers must be explained even more clearly! Otherwise, these people will think the meat was given away for free, be ungrateful, and dare to gossip.

"So," Chen Fengshan's voice grew louder, "our safe return this time, and the fact that we can eat meat, is not just good luck! It's because our hunting team, and young men like Li Jianshe, Yu Hao, Zhao Weiguo, and Chen Weidong, risked their lives to bring us back!"

"Especially Yu Hao and Zhao Weiguo, those two educated youths, one dared to go head-to-head with a wild boar, and the other pulled his brother back from the jaws of a wolf! They were both outstanding!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd started clapping.

"Slap! Slap slap slap—"

The applause went from sparse to deafening.

The faces of all the villagers were filled with lingering fear, gratitude, and heartfelt admiration.

Their gazes changed completely as they looked at Yu Hao and Zhao Weiguo, who were standing in the crowd, their faces still somewhat pale.

This is no longer about seeing pampered city girls, but about seeing heroes you can entrust with your life!

Yu Hao was a little embarrassed by the scene, scratched his head, but felt secretly pleased.

His brother was right; this attention was well worth it!

After the applause subsided slightly, Chen Fengshan continued, "As for some people who are gossiping behind my back, saying who's afraid of death and didn't go up the mountain. I'm putting my words here today!"

He suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed like a nail on the direction where Liu Cuihua was shrinking her head.

"If it weren't for Yan Zhiqing, none of them would have come back this time!"

"It was he who went up the mountain at the most dangerous time and saved everyone's lives!"

These words caused an uproar in the room!

"What? It was Yan Zhiqing who saved him?"

"I knew it! My husband mentioned it!"

"But...but what about him..."

Chen Fengshan didn't give anyone a chance to discuss it. He waved his hand, his voice as deep as iron: "Yan Zhiqing is a low-key person and doesn't care about this little bit of credit. So, he didn't get a share of the meat; he asked for it himself. But we, the people of Jixiang Brigade, can't be heartless!"

"Remember this kindness! If anyone dares to speak ill of us behind our backs again, don't blame me, Chen Fengshan, for turning my back on them!"

These words silenced the entire threshing ground.

Liu Cuihua buried her head in her chest, her face burning hot.

At this moment, Yan Yu, the central figure in the incident, is on his way home.

As he descended the mountain, his immense spiritual power had already silently enveloped the entire Jixiang Brigade.

He didn't roughly erase the memory, as that would easily arouse suspicion, especially with the uncertain factor of An Sanchuan.
