Chapter 11: An Unquiet Night
The cabin is not very small, and after accommodating three small ones, it can still fit a climbing plow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When he shoveled all the snow out of the ground, Mongo lit a fire on the ground.
Night, soon came. After Meng Ge had spread a flat layer of branches and leaves on a fire-scorched ground, he spread the torn quilt on it.
Looking at the sky outside, which was already dark, Meng Ge felt that it would be a long time before the heavy snow stopped.
"Yu Yang, you are in charge of cooking dinner, and I will seal the mouth. Meng Ge explained, and then lifted the stake and drove away.
When Meng Ge sealed the mouth of the cabin tightly, Yu Yang also burned dinner almost to the end.
said it was dinner, but in fact, it was some wild vegetable stew, but Yu Yang put two handfuls of rice in it.
The three of them ate dinner on the warm fire, and then sighed comfortably together.
"Sister Ge'er, why do I think this is very unreliable? With so many pieces of wood in the way, can I stop those beasts?" Yu Yang looked at the simple wooden house, very worried.
Meng Ge waved his hand heartily and said, "What are you afraid of, it's better than nothing." Don't worry, with me, I won't let anything happen to you. ā
Maybe all the good luck of Menggo has been exhausted, or maybe the smell of Menggo's food has spread too far.
In short, just when Meng Ge was in a daze, there was movement outside.
Although the snow is still falling, in the woods, the movement of the snow is not very large.
Therefore, when a wild beast approached quietly, Meng Ge was still vigilant to find out. The footsteps of this beast can be heard as a large cat.
However, the most intuitive thing is that the guy actually jumped on the roof of the wooden house. At this meeting, Meng Ge was glad that he was not greedy for convenience.
The roof of the hut is all made of solid logs. So, even if the big cat jumped on the roof, there was still nothing to do with the people in the house.
Just as the big cat outside was jumping up and down, in the distance, a wolf howl came.
The big cat outside seemed to be in a hurry, and began to stretch out its paws to scratch the stake, and also hit the stake with its body.
After the stake was hit, the sound finally woke up Yu Yang and Meng Mao, who had already fallen asleep.
Meng Mao was excited, quickly got out of the bed, and rushed towards Meng Ge. Meng Ge was stunned by Meng Mao's swift movements, and opened his hand to catch Meng Mao in a daze.
It wasn't until he hugged Meng Mao that Meng Ge reacted and said to Meng Mao reproachfully: "Little spear, why did you get out like this, go back and get dressed." ā
Meng Ge didn't care about the big cat that was manic outside, so he hugged Meng Mao and went back to get dressed.
Yu Yang asked worriedly while getting dressed, "Sister Ge'er, what kind of beast is out there, can we handle it?"
Meng Ge kept moving his hands to help Meng Mao get dressed neatly, and replied, "Don't worry, as long as you don't get out of this hut and cause trouble for me." ā
The big cat outside seemed impatient, and the impact became more and more violent each time, and the place where it hit had begun to shake.
Meng Ge took the big knife, walked to the reserved opening, moved the stake that was pressed there and the boulder, and got out of it before the big cat could react.
Perhaps it was because he heard the human voice, and the big cat's impact was more violent, and he didn't even notice Menggo who came out of the wooden house. Only then did Meng Ge have the opportunity to seal the hole again.
Meng Ge, who sealed the entrance of the cave, quietly turned to the big cat with a knife, intending to kill it with a knife.
At this moment, the big cat on the other side suddenly stopped hitting and ran away quickly. Mongo only had time to see a moving, speckled shadow.
"It's a snow leopard, but why did it run away?" Meng Ge was a little excited, because snow leopards are rare.
But before Meng Ge could finish his excitement, an abrupt wolf howl sounded not far away.
"I'll wipe it!" Meng Ge cursed in a low voice, and secretly blamed the snow leopard for not being righteous and ran away by himself.
"Yu Yang, little spear, no matter what happens later, you have to keep me inside, you know? Yu Yang, take out the bow and the arrow in my baggage. Meng Ge warned Yu Yang and the two children in a low voice, opened the hole with his hand, and took out the bow and arrow that Yu Yang had pushed to the entrance of the cave.
"Yu Yang, take care of the little spear. Remember, the fire must not be extinguished. Also, try not to make a sound, you two, you know?" After taking the bow and arrow, Meng Ge explained as he sealed the entrance to the cave.
"Sister Ge'er, you must be careful. We're still waiting for you to find your way down the mountain. Yu Yang's voice trembled, choking a little.
Meng Ge held his breath for a while, and without hearing any sound of the small spear, he jumped to the wooden roof with his weapon in disappointment.
Meng Ge, who jumped on the wooden roof, watched in the direction of the wolf's howl by the light of the snowy night.
After a while, he saw a few pairs of green eyes approaching in Menggo. Meng Ge stabilized his mind, took a bow and shot an arrow, and shot the wolf that had not yet come close.
"I hope there are no more than ten wolves in this pack. After the first arrow was fired, Meng Ge muttered to himself.
Wolves are very ferocious social animals, and the average wolf pack should be no less than twenty individuals. That's why Mongo prayed that it was a pack of wolves that had been scattered by other beasts.
Mongo watched the first wolf fall. But the wolves did not flinch, but ran towards this side more ferociously.
Mongo wailed, knowing that he hadn't shot the wolf. Coupled with the fact that the forest is full of trees, it is quite difficult to accurately shoot a wolf in the dark night.
Meng Ge fired four or five arrows in a row, but only shot two wolves. Looking at the few wolves that were still approaching this side, Meng Ge was a little restless.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Mongo glanced around. At this sight, Meng Ge was almost so frightened that he fell off the roof.
At some point, two wolves were already leaning over to her left and almost jumping onto the small wooden roof.
Because of the fire burning inside the wooden house, all the snowflakes that fell to the top melted into water droplets.
Meng Ge looked at the two wolves shaking their bodies because of the wet fur from the water droplets, hurriedly stabilized his mind, picked up the big knife, looked at the throat of the first wolf who jumped up, and swung it fiercely.
Sure enough, as Meng Ge expected, the wolf was sentenced to death on the spot. However, when Menggo split the first wolf, the other also jumped onto the roof.
Hearing the sound of animals falling to the ground, Yu Yang in the house suddenly called out "Sister Ge'er". Meng Ge was so angry that he yelled directly: "Shut up, don't make a sound." ā
There wasn't enough space on the roof, and Meng Ge was just planning to lure the wolf to the ground and start fighting again. But because of Yu Yang's voice, the wolf began to gouge the branches of the roof with his paws after Meng Ge jumped to the ground.
"Damn!" said Mungo, who had to curse again, raised his bow and arrow at the wolf's head.
Shooting a beast at such a close distance is not a big deal. But fortunately, Meng Ge had already thought of a way to kill the wolf with one blow.
So, after the wolf was sharp sideways enough to dodge the arrow, Mongo quickly jumped onto the roof with his knife.
