Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1532: Request For Help

Noticing Zhang Yulan’s pale face, An Xuyuan said, "Alright, don’t overthink that matter. Until we are sure that the mountains are safe, you should stay at home and don’t go to the foothills."

"If your family runs out of firewood, just inform me. I stored a lot of firewood at home, and it’s more than enough for our family to use until spring," he added.

At this moment, Zhang Yulan was too preoccupied with her own thoughts to notice his slip of tongue. She only nodded and replied absent-mindedly, "Okay."

An Xuyuan was taken aback by her answer and glanced at her. When he saw her dazed expression, he let out a sigh and shook his head. This girl did not yet understand the feelings between men and women, yet she dared to ask her brother to arrange a blind date for her.

Fifteen minutes later, the pheasant had been plucked and cleaned. As he placed the pheasants into a small basin, Zhang Ermu and his wife returned.

When he saw the vice team leader busy helping his sister with her work, Zhang Ermu no longer felt surprised. With how often he came to visit, people who didn’t know might think that he and Zhang Yulan were engaged and would get married soon.

In fact, some villagers had already asked about this matter several times. But with the Zhang family and An Xuyuan keeping tight lips, no one was able to pry any information.

Seeing them coming back, Zhang Yulan said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, you are back."

Glancing at the pheasant, Zhang Ermu asked, "Yulan, did Ding Lei send something over this morning?"

Zhang Yulan nodded and replied, "He did. I put the things in the kitchen."

Hearing this, An Xuyuan turned to him and asked, "Brother Ermu, did you ask him to send over those things?"

Zhang Ermu nodded and replied, "Of course. Otherwise, how would he send them over without rhyme or reason?"

When he heard this, the corners of An Xuyuan’s lips lifted, and his mood brightened instantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Ermu rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "Wife, it’s cold outside. Let’s go in."

Liu Piao nodded, and before leaving, she said, "Vice Team Leader, it’s cold today and it’s troublesome to cook. How about you staying for lunch?"

The moment she asked this, Zhang Yulan’s eyes lit up and she added, "Brother An, you said that you wanted to have some grilled fish a few days ago. I caught several fish yesterday. Stay, and I will grill it for you."

Hearing this, An Xuyuan smiled and said, "Then I won’t be polite and have to trouble you."

Zhang Yulan patted his arm and replied, "Ai, what trouble? Since I caught the fish and will be the one who grills them, you have to clean the fish."

"No problem," An Xuyuan agreed readily.

Zhang Ermu and Liu Piao exchanged glances when they saw how intimately the two of them interacted. In order to let them cultivate feelings, the two of them returned to their home while An Xuyuan went to clean the fish.

At the same time, in the nearby city, He Xieyu received a phone call asking for his help to contact the nearest military barracks to send a group of soldiers to help them drive out a pack of wolves near the mountain foothills.

When he learned that there were seven casualties, he said, "I will inform the military as soon as possible. For now, make sure that the villagers stay away from the mountain’s foothills and lock their doors and windows."

"Understood," Han Yuheng replied before he hung up the call.

After he hung up the call, He Xieyu made another call to the nearest barracks. When the military received the information, they agreed to send twenty soldiers to take care of the pack of wolves.

Due to the urgency of this case, the military sent the soldiers soon after. At noon, the soldiers arrived in trucks. Since the village’s road was narrow, the truck was parked at the entrance of the village, and the soldiers walked to the production team’s office.

The moment the villagers saw the soldiers, another discussion rose among them. Everyone was worried that the wolves would attack the village after they tasted human flesh. Now that the military had sent a group of soldiers over, they were relieved.

When the soldiers arrived at the production team’s office, An Xuyuan had been waiting for them. Seeing them coming, he went to welcome them.

"Comrade, thank you for coming. Please have a seat," he said as he gestured for them to sit down.

Some of the soldiers took their seats, and the rest waited outside. After sitting down, one of them asked, "Comrade, we received the request from your team and brought twenty people over. But without any information, it will be hard for us to track down the wolves."

Hearing this, An Xuyuan said, "We have tried to ask for more information from the victim, but we only learned that there were a total of thirteen wolves before the victim fainted. As for the location, it was near the western cliff mountain."

The soldier nodded and asked, "Comrade, we are not familiar with the area. Is there anyone who could lead us to the mountain?"

The moment he heard this, several familiar faces appeared in An Xuyuan’s mind. After he considered it for a while, he said, "There are several people who are familiar with the mountain paths. But I don’t know if they are willing to lead the way."

"Then, let’s ask them first. If they agree, we can go to the mountain to check the situation first. If they are unwilling, then this matter might take longer to prepare before we can go to the mountain," the soldier said.

"Okay," An Xuyuan nodded and stood up.

At first, he thought of Zhang Ermu, but thinking about the Zhang family’s situation, he changed his mind.
