Chapter 413 – Do They Even Look Afraid?
In the hall.
Grandpa Lu's face was filled with pride as he continued.
"Back then if it weren't for the team leader I don't know if we would have even survived."
"That wolf was really something; he was luring us to some layer of another ferocious animal."
The others listening to him looked with a serious face as he continued.
"By the time we were able to surround that fellow, about 10 men from our squad were either injured or had some serious cuts on them due to the haste with which we were after the wolf."
Little Qiqi and Little Jia gasped while Xiao Ya opened her mouth as Yuan Meng fed her with a small spoon.
But her attention was also on the story that Grandpa Lu was telling.
"It required about 10 of us to just make him unable to run away while the other 10 attacked it formally the sides."
"At that time we only had knives with us."
Old Lu said after a long pause and looked at everyone's face which was filled with excitement and fear.
A pleased smile appeared on his lips as he continued.
"And finally, we were able to kill it while making him stabbed after more than 50 hits."
"We didn't dare believe that it was dead until almost all its blood was drained."
"In fact, we even waited for half an hour after killing it with complete vigilance if it was still alive and would make an attack all of a sudden."
He said while sipping on the glass of orange juice in his hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"But Grandpa Lu, why did you wait for so long, if the wolf had lost so much blood then it would have been dead right?"
Little Jia asked while pondering.
"Hehe, little girl, we were informed that that fellow had acted like this several times and had attacked many of the villagers near the forest while faking its death."
"The villagers also had told us that the blood it would release was a lot than what the animal bled after we killed it."
Old Lu said with a wry smile.
"Ohh."
Little Qiqi and Little Jia nodded with an enlightened look.
"What are you spouting Old Lu, just because you want to make the girls make you see like a hero."
Many of the old men who were feeling envious of Old Lu for doing so much attention from everyone sniggered.
"You think I am lying?"
Old Lu narrowed his eyes and then glared at them.
"See this then."
Saying that he lifted his leg and pulled his trousers a bit up making other's see the sight of his hairy ankle.
The little girls extended their necks as much as possible to see what Grandpa Lu was showing them.
The old ladies and Yu Lan and her friends also looked carefully.
They gasped a mouthful of cold air.
The read near Old Lu's ankle which was thin and would connect to his calf muscle was a large scar on it.
Upon closer look, one would be able to see that it looked like the skin on his calf appeared to be different than the skin surrounding it.
The skin portion was about the size of an infant's fist.
But what made than women gasp was because they understood that this portion of Old Lu's leg was transferred from some other part of his body.
After seeing the scar, the ladies understood that it was a bite-size mark.
Which meant that the wolf had even mawed Old Lu's calf making him lose a portion of his calf.
The other old men frowned while Grandpa Xiao looked at Old Lu with awe.
He knew how painful it would have been for Old Lu to have his calf bitten off by the wolf.
And with what Old Lu had said about the wolf, it would not be hard to say that the wolf was a predator which was high in the pyramid of the forest.
The old men didn't have anything to say after seeing the scar on Old Lu's leg.
The atmosphere turned silent with many of them staring at Old Lu with respect and awe.
Of course, it was due to his close encounter with death and this story about the wolf which made them know how hard it would be sometimes.
"Alright enough with such scary stories, you old fellows want to have blood and killing in the mids of the little children."
After a moment, Grandma Xue said snappily.
"Hmm, indeed it is not right to say such in front of them, what if it makes them afraid later on."
The other old ladies nodded and then tried to think of something else to make it interesting.
Meanwhile, Old Lu, Old Wu and other old men glanced at the three little girls who were eating their pastries without care.
'Do they look like they would be afraid of seeing blood?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was the only thought running in their minds.
Almost all of them said such taled about themselves encountering animals and killing.
Usually, if it was a normal child then it would have been frightened.
But that could not be said about Little Qiqi or Little Jia.
And though Xiao Ya had felt afraid at first, she later didn't find it frightening.
It was like she had seen a much more gruesome scene by herself, making her feel that it was not as frightening.
Of course, it was all happened to her subconsciously.
Though Ye Qian had wiped her memory of the men trying to kill her and others that day.
It had still made her immune to such scenes.
As for Little Qiqi and Little Jia.
It would suffice to say that even if they were to be facing a ferocious animal they would not feel afraid of it.
To them, it was nothing other than a cute animal that they would pet.
And of course, it was also due to the presence of two entities.
Ye Qian and the little bird.
