News of returning troops fighting against the wolves soon spread within Lijiang. As the version was constantly processed by disseminators, the version continued to change.

I don’t know whether it was the people who made up or the authorities who were intentional in order to conquer the people, the most bizarre version that Pu Zixuan heard was: the soldiers of the Return Army set up a net of heaven and earth in the dense forest, and the soldiers used themselves as bait to attract wolves to chase after them. The wolves stepped on the mechanism. In an instant, a large pit several feet in radius appeared on the ground, and the wolves fell into the traps set up by the Return Army. Then, thousands of arrows were fired from all directions, shooting dozens of evil wolves to death.

Zhu Yuanliang was quite satisfied with others calling him a "returning army soldier". He laughed at this statement and sighed to Pu Zixuan: "Look, this is the long mouth of the world. In the chaotic times, the people are like frightened birds. The good and bad things you do will be magnified ten times a hundred times. So I said, the giant wolf that appeared late at night was probably making up. Now, ten days have passed, and nothing strange happened in Lijiang?"

However, the day after Zhu Yuanliang finished saying this, his words came true.

In the morning, a villager in Huangjia Village, 30 miles away from the north of the city reported the case: "In the past three days, the bacon hung in the homes of several villagers has been stolen by wild wolves." Zhu Yuanliang said indifferently: "It seems that the remaining wolves are hungry and come down to steal food again. When we call a few people to shoot the hungry wolf to death at night."

In the afternoon, Zhu Yuanliang and Lu Zhen and others went to the yamen to discuss the wolf hunting matter again, and Pu Zixuan was also present. When the talks were in full swing, a man and a woman rushed into the door to report the case.

The man said, "My name is Huang Ping'an, I am from Huangjia Village. This is my wife Wu Yuangui."

Before the two of them could tell the case, Zhu Yuanliang said first: "It's Huangjia Village again? I think your bacon has been stolen, right? It's the Chinese New Year, so it's best not to hang these things outside the house."

Wu Yuangui said with a mourning face: "It would be fine if it was that simple. It was our baby. A baby who was only five months old was eaten by a wolf!"

Life is at stake, and everyone suddenly became serious. Lu Zhen asked, "When will it happen?"

Wu Yuangui said: "It was this morning when I went out for business. When I thought I would go home in a while, I put my baby on the bed..."

When Huang Ping'an heard this, he was furious and cursed: "You stinky woman, do things? What's the matter? You obviously went to the market to buy new clothes for yourself. You thought the baby was irritable and left the baby at home, which killed him! I worked hard outside to earn hard-earned money, and you fucked me from behind! Your trash is the culprit!"

Wu Yuangui resisted and said, "Okay, I admit that I went out to buy clothes for myself. I just wanted to be kind to myself. Is there anything wrong with you? What about you? Have you ever given me and my kid a copper coin to the money you earned outside? Do you think I don't know? You gave all your money to the vixen named Feng in the brothel!"

Huang Ping'an was furious, raised his hand and slapped Wu Yuangui loudly, cursing: "You are so naughty, I'll kill you!"

Wu Yuangui covered his face and cried, "I threw the baby in my hand. You can beat me, beat me to death! Anyway, I don't want to live anymore!"

Huang Ping'an was about to raise his hand to continue to commit violence, Zhu Yuanliang stopped him and said, "Can you go home and take care of your family affairs? You should tell me the case in detail."

"Hmph, let's settle the score with you slowly when I get home!" Huang Ping'an finished swearing and said to everyone, "This morning, I went to Songzhuang to work for people, and I was in a state of uneasy. I felt something would happen at home, so I went home early to see. Before I entered the house, I saw a giant wolf holding my baby in her mouth, jumping out of the window, jumping onto the eaves, and running out quickly, and disappeared in a flash. I hurried into the house and saw that the baby on the bed was indeed gone, only a pool of blood was left!"

Pu Zixuan was shocked: "Is it a giant wolf who can fly over the eaves and walls again?"

Zhu Yuanliang asked seriously: "Huang Ping'an, this fact is strange. You have to tell the truth. Have you seen it clearly? Is it sure that the wolf took the baby away?"

"It's true! By the way, I found a wolf tooth on the bed. I think it must be the giant wolf that fell." After saying that, he took out a fang from his arms and handed it to Zhu Yuanliang.

Zhu Yuanliang looked at it for a while and handed it to Lu Zhen. After looking at it, Lu Zhen nodded: "It's indeed a wolf's tooth. It seems that the saying of the giant wolf is not groundless."

Huang Ping'an immediately knelt down in front of everyone and begged: "We are not the opponent of the giant wolf. Please beg all the masters to make the decision for us, kill that beast, and avenge us!"

Zhu Yuanliang said: "Don't panic. Huangjia Village has been stolen by hungry wolves in recent days. We originally planned to go up the mountain to destroy the wolves again, and we will definitely avenge you!"

Pu Zixuan was quite excited: "Okay, my hand is so itchy that it feels so uncomfortable, so I can go hunting again!"

Lu Zhen thought for a moment but said, "Don't panic, this matter is different from last time. Wolves are social animals, and few wolves will act alone. The culprit this time must be the giant wolf that is alone. It is very difficult for us to go up the mountain to hunt and capture it. I think that since the beast has stole overnight, it will definitely come to Huangjia Village again tonight. Let's have a 'please fall into the jail' and ambush it in the village. When the beast appears, it will be shot to death with a crossbow, which will save time and effort."

When Huang Ping'an heard this, he said, "Okay, okay!" and made another request: "But, please let me participate in this operation. I must kill the beast with my own hands and avenge my child!"

Lu Zhen responded bloodily: "Okay, why not let the villagers be prepared and wait for us to shoot the monster, let's come out together and kill it with a knife!"

Zhu Yuanliang asked: "How many people should be summoned in this operation?"

Lu Zhen thought for a while and said, "There is no need to make a big fuss in this sniper operation. You, me, Pu Zixuan and I will call another one."

Pu Zixuan asked: "Who?"

After Lu Zhen finished speaking, he shouted to the constable team waiting in the inner room: "Ziqing, come here!"

When Pu Zixuan heard this name, he immediately opened his eyes. He loved to look for flowers and ask about willows on weekdays. One of the names of the women who were afflicted was Fang Ziqing. He was immediately confused and prayed that this was a coincidence of the duplicate name.

Unexpectedly, a graceful woman walked out of the house. It was Fang Ziqing who Pu Zixuan knew! Pu Zixuan stuttered in a daze: "You...you are..."

When Fang Ziqing saw Pu Zixuan, she was immediately frightened and had to frown and make a "shush" lip at him!

Lu Zhen asked curiously: "What? Do you know each other?"

Pu Zixuan hurriedly asked for an excuse: "No...that's not, just that women also want to participate in such a dangerous action?"

Lu Zhen said proudly: "Why, I, Pioneer can find foreign aid, I, Lu Zhen, can't? Tell you, this is my inner man Fang Ziqing, who has been a good martial arts player since childhood. He wants to join the rebel army, but he has never had the chance to perform. I will take her to practice tonight and make a small contribution."

Pu Zixuan was even more frightened. What he cared about was not her skill problem, but her identity! If it was an ordinary identity, it would be fine. Unexpectedly, he actually got involved with Captain Lu's wife. If this was a mistake, how would it end?

Fang Ziqing was just panicked and adjusted her condition and said, "Don't worry, Dandelion, the little girl has her own sense."

"Own aptitude" sounds like it is talking about catching wolves, or it seems like it is hinting at something to Pu Zixuan.
