Chapter 281 - Irresponsible

After hearing that painful shout no one dared to stay inside their house everyone just like Su Wan and her family rushed out, to see what was happening. Even if they wanted to they couldn't stay, if wolves were really descending down the forest then they need to discuss countermeasures with their village head, ah! If not how will they be able to sleep at peace at night? 

Attracted by the man's shout everyone ran outside and soon a crowd formed just outside Su Wan's and the Lin brothers house. It just so happened that Su Wan and the Lin brothers lived rather close to the mountain, thus the man who was scared shitless by the wolves, saw their house he immediately collapsed outside and cried for help.

" Wolves, so many wolves" the man was still stammering while his wife who came running behind him was trembling so badly that her entire body shook. Beside her the wild vegetables that she and her husband harvested with so much difficulty were sprawled on the ground, right now they were too terrified to care about these wild vegetables when they nearly met with a life-threatening accident. 

" Xiao Du, calm down," said the village head Luo who came rushing when he heard of the situation from one of the villagers. Behind him was Luo Chenxi whom the villagers haven't seen for a long time. At first, no one paid any attention to her but then almost as if synchronised the villagers turned their heads to stare at Luo Chenxi.

Because this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was yet to mature looked so flashy and voluptuous! Her waist was no longer as willowy as before instead it has become curvy with an edge of seductive charm to it. Her flat chest that could be once mistaken as a man was now plump and round, it even juggled when she ran after her father. What was happening? Why did this girl become so charming all of a sudden? Did she go through a major growth spurt or something? 

The men of the village couldn't look away from Luo Chenxi, though her facial features weren't as good as Su Wan her curvaceous body easily made up for that. While the men ogled at Luo Chenxi the latter enjoyed their vulgar and lustful gazes, she even smiled shyly at them making their blood burn with passion.

The men were happy to have such a seductive vixen like women in the village but the women of the village were really upset, many pulled long faces as they took a glance at Luo Chenxi while a whole lot curled their lips in disdain. 

While no one was looking these women pinched waists and stomped on their husband's feet to stop them from ogling Luo Chenxi. No matter how seductive she was, she was the village head's daughter, how daring of them to lust over her, did they think they were living a little too peacefully? 

Not to mention they actually dared to look at another woman when they, their wives were still standing next to them! 

The women were unhappy but couldn't do anything other than pull a long face and turning their nose the other way, who asked  Luo Chenxi to be the daughter of the village head? 

" what's wrong uncle Du?" asked Luo Chenxi playing her role as a considerate and concerned young daughter of the village head as she helped Uncle Du from the ground, while she helped him up, her fingers ever so slightly trailed on Uncle Du's skin making the latter shudder " are you okay?"

Have to say that Luo Chenxi was putting everything on the line by being so brazen but her actions were skilful and no one detected anything except Uncle Du. But this was the first time for an old man like him to enjoy the touch of a young girl, Uncle Du wasn't going to complain, he looked at Luo Chenxi who nodded her head and sighed regretfully before turning to look at her father " father, I already told you that the wolves will sooner or later descend down the mountain, you should have sent someone experienced to lay down traps. Now see what happened"

Village head Lup uncomfortably rubbed his nose, his daughter indeed said that but instead of someone experienced she asked him to send Lin Jing. But at that time they just finished having a feud with the Lin family how could Village head Luo ask Lin Jing to do something so dangerous? And that too without any help? Village head Luo knew his villagers well, he knew that many of the villagers in his village were corrupt and eager to take advantage of others, they hardly showed a united front. 

When he asked them to go with Lin Jing they refused, since the villagers refused to accompany Lin Jing, Village head Luo couldn't ask Lin Jing to lay down traps alone on the mountains right?

" Your daughter is right, Village head Luo" chimed one of the villagers as he stepped forward out of the crowd and said disdainfully " we all know how dangerous it is for us in the winter, the wolves descend down the mountains and if we don't lay down traps earlier than we will suffer from heavy losses. Yet you didn't ask Lin Jing to lay down traps why is that?"

"That's right village head what kind of advantage did the Lin family give you that you completely forgot about your villagers' safety? It's your responsibility to ask Lin Jing to lay down traps every winter, hasn't it been like this for year's why didn't you do it this time?" said Uncle Du who finally calmed down under Luo Chenxi's soothing voice, he finally found his courage and spoke up resolutely as he pointed at Village head Luo and then at Lin Jing " you too Lin Jing, it's too insensible for you. You know you need to lay traps for wolves at the mountain in winters but you didn't do it despite knowing the dangers, aren't you trying to get us killed like this? How can you be so irresponsible? Even if the village head didn't ask you, you should have done this on your own. After all it's your responsibility"

Uncle Du was really smart, he could easily catch on that Luo Chenxi was helping him and was willing to touch him because she wanted to incite trouble. And for whom did she want to incite trouble? It goes without saying - the Lin family!  There are rumours surrounding the village that there was strife and struggle between Luo Chenxi and Su Wan, so understandably Uncle Du decided to fight for justice for the pretty lady! 

" exactly, Lin Jing.. This was insensible of you. You are responsible for laying down the traps. How can you forget such an important matter? " said another villager immediately chiming in together with Uncle Du.

Once one or two villagers spoke up, others started to follow them like sheep in a herd and started blaming Lin Jing too. Listening to his villagers who were blaming him, Lin Jing felt annoyed, what did they mean by his responsibility? Since when was he responsible for laying down traps? He did it willingly and out of respect and care for his villagers, he protected them because he was showing his consideration to his villagers since when did it become his responsibility! But no matter what Lin Jing thought, he couldn't speak up.. More and more voices drowned his voice every time he tried to say something, in the end he was do frustrated that he wanted to punch someone. 

Before he could rush ahead, a strong female voice shot through the crowd silencing them all for once "SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
