Chapter 255

Seeing her son's disheveled state, Liu Liu Guilan's eyes also moistened, and she hurriedly wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her padded jacket.

Wang Wang Dazhu soon walked out of the courtyard with a pile of torches, then casually stuck the lit torches into the snowbank outside the main gate.

After resting for a while, the feeling of weakness faded, and Wang An stood up.

Fighting often has this one benefit: both the body and the emotions develop a self-healing ability.

No matter how shitty things are, or how bad the sudden situation is, one can adapt very quickly.

Standing up, Wang An scanned the surroundings and said, "Alright, stop hovering over me, let's get to work."

After Wang An finished speaking, he began to load bullets into the Type 56 and the Type 54.

It was mainly because having no bullets in the guns made him feel particularly insecure.

"Xiao An, are you alright?" Liu Liu Guilan couldn't help but ask.

Wang An finished loading the bullets, turned his head to look at his mother, and asked in confusion, "I'm fine, what could be wrong with me?"

Only then did Liu Liu Guilan return to her normal state, laughing and scolding, "You little brat, always making your mother worry."

Only then did Wang An notice that the family's mood didn't seem very good.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, saying with a grin, "Hey, what are you all fussing about? How big of a deal is this? Everyone is perfectly fine, hahaha."

Wang An's face was covered in blood, and combined with his goofy laughter, it made Wang Wang Dazhu, his wife, and Mu Mu Xueqing stop worrying and fearing, and they all let out a deep sigh of relief.

Seeing that the three of them all had smiles on their faces, Wang An then walked toward the new building site with the Type 54 in his left hand and a torch in his right.

Actually, Wang An wanted to see what was up with those green eyes that Mu Mu Xueqing had just shot.

Mu Mu Xueqing noticed Wang An's movement and immediately followed him at a trot with her gun raised. Seeing Mu Mu Xueqing chasing after him, Wang An whispered with a cheeky grin:

"Wife, are you going to go over there with me to get intimate?"

Mu Mu Xueqing had been following Wang An nervously with her gun raised, and being asked this suddenly by Wang An, she was stunned for a moment before immediately reacting.

Mu Mu Xueqing blushed first, then rolled her eyes at Wang An and said, "Hmph, aren't you afraid that thing down there will really freeze into a popsicle?"

Wang An, who had been full of mischievous smiles, immediately couldn't act cocky anymore.

In this damn temperature of over 30 degrees below zero, one has to find a wind-sheltered spot just to take a leak.

What kind of man could be so brave as to seek thrills outdoors?

Seeing Wang An not speaking, Mu Mu Xueqing teased him, "Why aren't you acting cocky anymore? Where did that bravado from just now go?"

Wang An looked at Mu Mu Xueqing and remained silent; mainly because his attempt to show off had failed, so anything he said would be wrong—it was better to just stay silent.

Mu Mu Xueqing raised her pretty little face like a rooster that had won a battle.

After arriving near the previous green eyes, the two of them used the light of the torch to carefully observe the ground as they walked.

Then, hearing an exclamation from Mu Mu Xueqing, the two of them looked toward the ground at the same time.

Then, both of them widened their eyes, all revealing expressions of disbelief.

They saw a wolf's carcass on the snow; it must be said that Mu Mu Xueqing's shot was incredibly accurate—it was dead center, with the bullet hitting the wolf right between the eyes.

This wolf had died lying on its stomach, and it had died with its eyes wide open—meaning the wolf was already dead, but its eyes were still staring round.

Don't know why, but in this pitch-black night, the dead wolf's eyes lost their green glow.

Under the light of the torch, the two discovered that what was expressed in the wolf's eyes wasn't ferocity, but seemed to be longing.

Wang An looked in the direction of the wolf's gaze; it seemed the wolf's gaze was fixed on their own caged female wolf.

What was going on? Why would a wolf have human eyes?

What was the relationship between this wolf and that female wolf?

Of course, these were not the most incredible things.

What was most incredible was that this wolf was as white as snow all over, and much larger than a normal wolf.

The reason it was called incredible was that in these mountains, white wolves are extremely rare.

At the very least, in all the time Wang An had lived, including his past life, he had never seen a white wolf, and this wolf was also so huge!

According to the old people in the village, the birth of a white wolf is inevitably accompanied by storms or blizzards. Because a white wolf is a demon immortal from heaven, and because it failed its tribulation and was struck dead by lightning, heaven cries for it by blowing wind and raining or snowing.

Moreover, from the moment each white wolf is born, its parents will secretly take it far away from the wolf pack.

Because if they didn't, the white wolf would be bitten to death by the pack as an outsider.

It is said that even so, a white wolf family will still be hunted by the wolf pack.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for a white wolf to grow up.

But precisely because of this, once every white wolf grows up, it is the absolute king of the wolf pack, and all wolves must obey its orders!

And eventually, one day, the white wolf will ascend to heaven and become a god.

Of course, these are just stories; as for whether they are true or false, the latter is definitely the case.

However, although Wang An had never seen a white wolf, based on his past life's experience, he did know of the existence of white wolves.

At the same time, he also knew what was actually going on with white wolves.

Except for the Arctic wolf, which is white all over due to its different breed, the wolves in these mountains are called forest wolves, which are actually a type of gray wolf.

And the reason why gray wolves can appear white is actually not as mysterious as the old people say.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just a gray wolf that has albinism.

Not only wolves, but also bears, deer, leopards, and other animals can have this situation occur.

Of course, this white wolf was truly beautiful.

The two looked at this white wolf, and Mu Mu Xueqing suddenly asked with some panic, "Xiao An, I didn't kill a wolf immortal, did I?"

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this; he hadn't expected his wife to ask such a thing, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

Although Mu Mu Xueqing had graduated from junior high, she had grown up in the countryside after all.

And in the countryside of this era, feudal and superstitious ideas were still very heavy; things like this immortal or that ghost were still trusted implicitly in the hearts of many elderly people.

And under this influence, Mu Mu Xueqing couldn't help but be a bit suspicious.

Wang An definitely couldn't let his wife be troubled by this, so he said with a chuckle:

"Where would there be any wolf immortals? If you put it that way, the three of us trapped a white fox a few days ago, so would you say a fox immortal is more powerful than a wolf immortal? Besides, if it really were a wolf immortal, could a bullet kill it? Could a fox immortal crawl into a rabbit snare? It's all nonsense."

Seeing his wife's still uneasy expression, Wang An explained the matter of albinism.

Sure enough, for people who have studied, science is the hard truth, and Mu Mu Xueqing finally set her mind at ease.

Wang An added with a laugh, "Don't worry, wife. Any demons or monsters are afraid of bullets. If you get desperate, just give it a burst, and no matter what it is, it'll have to be damn well-behaved."

Hearing Wang An say this, Mu Mu Xueqing looked at the gun in her hand and finally laughed.

After comforting Mu Mu Xueqing, Wang An used the torch to carefully observe the area around the white wolf, but he found nothing.

So Wang An said to Mu Mu Xueqing, "Wife, you hold the torch, I'll drag this wolf back."

After Mu Mu Xueqing took the torch, Wang An slung the Type 56 over his back and crouched down to pinch the wolf's eyes.

Unfortunately, the eyelids of the wolf's eyes seemed to be frozen; Wang An pinched them a few times, but couldn't get the dead wolf to close its eyes.

Helpless, Wang An grabbed the wolf's two front legs; this wolf was seriously heavy, weighing about 140 or 150 jin—a wolf this heavy was probably rare in the world.

Because the place where the wolf was located wasn't very far from Wang An's house, Wang An walked backward while grabbing the wolf's front legs.

This posture caused the wolf's eyes to be exactly aligned with Wang An's eyes.

And so, the wolf's wide-staring eyes and Wang An's eyes set off on the road together, staring at each other.

To be honest, in this pitch-black night, under the illumination of the torch, Wang An felt a bit creeped out looking at the two big, wide-staring eyeballs of the dead wolf.

He didn't know how much attachment this wolf had to this world, for its eyeballs just wouldn't close.
