C153 The Wolf Had Come It Was True

Early the next morning, the sun hasn't come out and the weather is very cold. After Duan Xiangmei brought his youngest son to school and left, Fan Wenbin slept for a while longer before slowly waking up. Last night, he talked to his wife for a long time and slept very late.

Seeing that it was time for work, he did not care about eating breakfast and hurriedly went downstairs to prepare to drive to the company. Unexpectedly, he received an emergency call from his father, Fan Youmin, asking his son to come back quickly. He had urgent matters to attend to.

Fan Wenbin's mood suddenly became tense, and he hurriedly asked what had happened at home. At the other end of the phone, his father paused for a moment, and finally said, You will know when you come back. Then, he hung up the phone.

Fan Wenbin held the phone, and could not help but shake his head. He thought to himself that his father might be old, and it was like rain when he saw the wind. A small matter as big as a sesame seed was infinitely exaggerated, as if the sky was about to collapse. However, he did not say it clearly on the phone, and he looked mysterious.

So, after thinking for a while, he gave Ning Peng and Zhao Yu a call, arranged the company's matters, and drove straight to the Fan family's ferry. On the way, he was still wondering what exactly had happened at home, and why his father had called him urgently so early in the morning?

There weren't many cars on the road, so the road was still considered smooth and unimpeded. Fan Wenbin drove the Land Rover. Very quickly, it was much faster than usual. His father was over seventy years old this year. His mysterious appearance made him very worried.

When he arrived not far from the drawbridge between the county town and Mei Tanxiang, he saw that there were many people tightly surrounding the bridge. There were a few people wearing uniforms and large roof hats, as if they were people from the City Administration Bureau. They were pointing fingers and fiercely arguing about something.

At this time, a very long roller coaster, a large cart, and a small tricycle motorcycle were stuck on the road. They were unable to move forward. The drivers stuck their heads out of the windows, trying their best to figure out what was happening in front of them, and whether they could clear the road very quickly.

It was early in the morning, and the sun had yet to come out. The weather was very cold, so they were all gathered together and making noise. At the same time, as it affected their emotions, it could not help but give rise to a very inauspicious feeling. One had to understand that this was a phenomenon that people didn't want to see the most.

Perhaps the dispute between the two sides was huge, and it had already been a long time. Many people gathered around the bridge to watch the show. There were men, women, old and young, a large group of people. From time to time, there were cries and screams of women, all of them in a mess that could not be undone.

After waiting for a long time until the sun came out, not only did the group of people not come to an end, but they also did not come to an agreement. On the contrary, the situation was getting more and more intense. The voices of both sides were so loud that it made people feel that the old bull was being stabbed and was screaming with all his might.

Fan Wenbin had no choice but to call his family and tell them the truth. He even comforted his mother, who had picked up the phone, and asked her and his father to wait patiently for a while longer. It wouldn't be long before he returned.

After waiting for a long time, he was really impatient. He got off the car and walked to the bridge facing the bitingly cold wind, wanting to see what exactly happened. At this time, there were even more people surrounding and jeering than before, and the scene became even more lively and complicated.

Mei Beach Village had been separated from the county city since ancient times, but after thousands of years, the situation of only relying on a few boats to come and go had never changed. Thirty years ago, when Fan Wenbin was in high school, when he returned home and returned to school, he also had to take a ferryboat.

This kind of backward situation had continued all the way until the reformation and opening, seriously hindering the economic development of Mei Tanxiang. At the same time, it also greatly affected the unified planning and construction of Da An County, as well as the space for expansion.

In order to change this kind of primitive transport situation, Mei Tanxiang had been included in the economic development scope of the county. The county government had hired investors to build this simple suspension bridge that connected the county to Mei Tanxiang ten years ago, which had greatly facilitated the economic exchange between the two places.

However, after the suspension bridge was built, the investors, according to the agreement they signed with the county government, set up a toll booth at both ends of the suspension bridge. For all kinds of vehicles that came and went, they charged one to three yuan for passing by. Until now, it had been a full ten years.

Two days ago, there was a strong and convincing rumor that the charging time had expired. The investors not only charged more, but they also charged more. Furthermore, it also increased the toll. It was that the tricycle crossed the suspension bridge once and grew from 1 yuan to 5 yuan. Not to mention other large vehicles.

This sudden sound of wind immediately spread throughout the entire Mei'an Village, causing everyone to be anxious and restless. In a money society, only things related to money would automatically become big things even if it was not a big matter. It would even cause trouble to the point where it could not be settled or even cause people's lives to be lost.

Now, by relying on planting vegetables, Almost every resident of Mei Tanxiang had a car. Even the worst one has a tricycle. The better ones even had a few cars. If these big and small cars were to travel to and fro Mei Beach and the county a few times a day, They would have to spend a few dozen dollars for no reason, and come down in a month. A few hundred dollars were gone, and no one was willing to do so.

So, this morning, when the sun had just risen, a group of people, including some old men and women, who had already discussed and agreed upon, came to the bridge near the county town in a grandiose manner. They surrounded a very simple charging pavilion built with colored steel, and aggressively demanded an explanation.

Seeing that this group of people was very angry and looked like they were stirring up trouble, the beautiful female cashier was so scared that her face turned pale, and she did not dare to take a step out of the door. She quickly called Mr. Wang in Henan and told him that there was a group of people of unknown origin occupying both ends of the suspension bridge, preventing vehicles and pedestrians from passing through.

When Boss Wang heard that the situation was bad, he hurriedly called Deputy County Head Chen Yan Qing. He said that a few farmers had set up a stall at the end of the suspension bridge, severely hindering the traffic. Chen Yan Qing called the City Administration Leader and asked them to take charge of this matter. He also instructed them to enforce the law in a civilized manner and not expand the situation.

After Deputy County Head Jiang received the call, he sighed. He thought to himself, Set up a stall to block the traffic. It's the Public Security Bureau. How can the City Administration manage it? However, he didn't dare to disobey the orders of his superior. After hesitating for a moment, They hurriedly sent over ten law enforcement officers to drive the car. They braved the cold of the early morning and rushed to the suspension bridge. To deal with this matter.

When Fan Wenbin arrived at the scene, the few city enforcement officers were tightly surrounded by a group of old men. They were unable to move and allowed to be cursed at. The person who seemed to be the leader of the group hid in the charging pavilion and was making a call. It was very likely that he was making a call for help.

In these few years, along with the continuous expansion of the county's space, large amounts of the rural population surged into the city, and city management became a very troublesome matter. Every day, from morning to night, in the streets and alleys, they would encounter urban law enforcement officers arguing fiercely with the hawkers at the small stalls. There were even incidents of fighting.

"It's not easy for the enforcement officers. " Every time he saw such a scene, Fan Wenbin could not help but sigh. "I don't care. The city will become a garbage dump within a few days, and the management will quarrel with these unreasonable hawkers endlessly. Sometimes, it's even more difficult than me.

At this moment, early in the morning, when he saw such a disturbing scene again, he could not help but sigh in his heart. However, this time, his sigh was much heavier than his previous tone.

According to his logic, the reason why he built this suspension bridge back then was to make it convenient for the people on both sides of the Yellow River to communicate with the cities and villages. He should not have charged any toll. Furthermore, the ten-year fee deadline had expired. It was time to demolish the toll pavilion.

But now, not only did they not cancel the toll fee that they should have canceled earlier, they even increased the toll. This caused everyone to naturally feel resentful. It was no wonder that someone was calling a group of old men and women to cause trouble.

Fan Wenbin stood not far away. With a frustrated mood and a cold gaze, he was watching the show. Suddenly, a few shouts came from the crowd, "The city enforcement officers are beating people up, the city enforcement officers are beating people up. "

Immediately after, the crowd started to stir. As some of the onlookers retreated, a few strong men rushed forward without caring about their own safety and fought with the city enforcement officers. For a moment, the scene became even more chaotic.

Seeing this chaotic scene, they saw the men who were fighting with the enforcement officers. One of them was very familiar. After taking a closer look, he recognized that it was Fan Jiadu's old flat head. He was also his childhood friend who had studied together with him.

That time, when he returned home, he went to Hu Si's house. He heard from Hu Si that this old flat-headed woman had died of illness, and that she had led a very coquettish woman who came from an unorthodox background to wander around. Not long ago, because of the crowd gambling, he was locked up in a detention center by the police.

"Old flat-headed that fellow is now out of the detention center. How did he get involved in this matter?" A trace of doubt instantly gushed out from the bottom of his heart, "This kid has always loved to fight since he was young. If he doesn't fight, his hands will itch and he won't be able to sleep. "

Fan Wenbin was very clear that such a chaotic situation, perhaps these few city enforcement officers would not be able to control it and would even be injured because of it. If they wanted to quell the disturbance, they had to call the police and let the police control the further development of the situation.

Thinking up to this point, he took out his phone, and just as he was about to call the police, he heard a sharp and piercing alarm. Then, he saw a few police cars rushing over. Just as he stopped, a dozen or so fully armed police officers rushed down, and in no time, they controlled the few men who were moving.

Seeing the police came, everyone hurriedly scattered, afraid that they would get into trouble and be taken away by the police. However, in the blink of an eye, a few women rushed forward and tightly hugged the men's legs. They cried and cried, refusing to let the police take them away from the scene.

At that moment, seeing that the road had been opened, a few drivers cursed and cursed as they hurriedly started the car. They had impatient and disdainful sneers on their faces, and they even muttered some vulgarities as they drove towards the other end of the suspension bridge.

Seeing this, Fan Wenbin did not care to continue watching. He drove the Land Rover and closely followed behind a tricycle in front. He walked past the suspension bridge, increased the throttle, and crazily rushed towards the Fan family's ferry. Because his father, Fan Youmin, had just called again, and urgently urged him.

When he returned home, he found out that at midnight last night, his father was woken up by a very terrifying howl. After listening carefully, he understood that it was the howl of a wolf, and he felt that it was behind his own house. The howl of a wolf lasted for the middle of the night. It only disappeared when it was almost dawn.

Fan Youmin and Fan Youmin had been woken up from their sleep when they heard the first howl of a wolf in the middle of the night. They had been lying on the hot bed for the middle of the night, listening to the howl of a wolf for most of the night. They did not sleep again until the sun rose.

When the sun rose, Fan Youmin ran to the back of the house and found a pile of wolf manure that was frozen into a ball. It was covered with a layer of frost. Then, he felt a trace of uneasiness. He hurriedly called his eldest son and asked him to come back quickly.

Over the past few years, as the country further increased environmental management, in the 1980s and 1990s, the ecosystem on both sides of the Yellow River, which had suffered great damage, gradually returned to life. Some wild animals that had long since disappeared appeared in people's field of vision, and among them, there were wolves.

"Bin Bin, it's late at night. There's the sound of wolves. This is not a good sign. " Finishing his words, he said, That's not a good sign. Fan Youmin was smoking a cigarette. His expression was grave as he stared at his son worriedly. After a moment, he said thoughtfully.

"What your father said is very reasonable. " Wang Fang looked very nervous and quickly echoed her husband's words. She said anxiously, "The wolf appeared behind our house in the middle of the night and even pulled a pile of wolf manure. It is indeed not a good sign. "

Second brother Fan Wengong had arrived early and already knew what had happened. At this moment, he was sitting on a stool beside his father. Last night, he might have slept very soundly and did not hear the howling of the wild wolf at all. He was skeptical of his father's words.

After listening to his father's narration and carefully looking at his father and mother's expressions, Fan Wenbin felt that it was very funny, but he did not dare to laugh out loud. In his opinion, what was this? Making a fuss over nothing could not be considered a matter at all.

It was winter, and there was no food in the mountains. The wolves were extremely hungry, so they took advantage of the night to run to the village to look for food. They howled a few more times. This was a very natural thing. It was not strange that they were used to it. There was nothing good or bad about it.

However, before he could say anything, Fan Youmin spat out a mouthful of thick smoke and spoke of a very ancient matter. It was not until he silently listened to the story that he felt that what his parents said made sense. He also felt that it was indeed a bad omen to have wolves howling in the middle of the night.

That was when Fan Shide, the first ancestor of the Fan Family who had taken root in Da An during the Great Qing Dynasty's Qian Long period, was still alive. Of course. At that time, Fan Shide was already over 60 years old. He was very old, so old that he almost couldn't walk anymore. In the morning, leaning against the western wall, In the afternoon, he leaned against the east wall and basked in the sun. His head drooped in his crotch, not moving at all. He was not much different from a dead man.

There was a winter night. At midnight, the howling of wolves suddenly sounded from behind the Fan family's house. It was very sharp and shrill, as if a large group of wolves had come. The howls rose and fell in the middle of the night, causing the whole family to be alarmed and alarmed. No one fell asleep.

At dawn, Fan Shide's eldest son, Fan Weigeng, ran outside. The few big dogs guarding the house were all bitten to death by the wolves. The blood in their throats condensed into purple-black chunks, and their corpses were frozen into a ball.

These few big dogs were bought from the herdsmen's houses in the Mongol grassland. They had strong physiques and were very loyal. They had the wildness of their ancestors and dared to fight with any beasts. They were the ideal breed to watch over the house.

However, last night when the wolf pack came to the Fan family's courtyard in the middle of the night, why didn't they hear a dog barking? Even though it was a very small and weak dog barking, they didn't hear it.

Just as Fan Weigeng was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and saw that before he could make a sound, his throat had been tightly bitten by a wild wolf that had scuttled up. After struggling intensely before dying, his body collapsed softly on the cold ground and died.

Later, when his family discovered him, they saw a look of horror on his face, as if he had discovered a shocking secret. Before he could say it out loud, he was bitten to death by a wild wolf.

When his family carried Fan Weigeng's corpse into the hall, they saw an even more strange and horrifying scene. It was even more horrifying than seeing Fan Weigeng's tragic death.

The founder of the Fan family, Fan Shide, was dead. His head was hanging on the edge of the brick bed, and his feet were still on the brick bed. His whole body was twisted into a 90-degree shape, and blood was still flowing out of his seven apertures. He looked miserable, to the point that no one dared to look at him.

Just when everyone was stunned and at a loss for what to do, the howl of the wild wolf rang out once again. It was even louder and more mournful than last night. It was like dozens of wolves were howling at the same time. It shook the sky and earth and resounded. Early in the morning on both sides of the Yellow River, in the gloomy sky, it spread far and wide.

Everyone hurriedly ran out to take a look. On the top of the mountain not far away, there was a group of wild wolves lined up in a row. At least, there were twenty to thirty of them. Facing the rising sun, facing the Fan Family Compound, they let out horrifying howls, one after another, as if they were filled with a very special meaning.
