Chapter 10 Distress in the Mountains and Forests
By noon, the sun was at its most intense of the day.
The hunters of Lijia Village were also ready to take a rest, found an open field, skillfully put the package around, circled around, made a simple cover facility, and then sat down inside to eat lunch.
Because it is in the mountains and forests, there are too many animal carcasses, and the smell of blood is too strong, which will cause big trouble, so the hunters cut the prey they hit into pieces, cut them apart, let go of the blood, and then wrap them in the skin and put them in the bag, so as to isolate a large part of the smell of blood.
"Brother Gang, it seems that we are lucky to come out this time, it has only been three days, and the prey we have hunted is almost the same." Li Zhou walked up to Li Gang and handed Li Gang a pot of water.
"Yes, it's very good, in the past, it would take at least a week for us to enter the forest every time, and if we hit one or two prey this afternoon, then we can go back to the village today." A big mouthful of cold water made Li Gang, who had a horse face all day, also show a very cool expression.
At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew from the depths of the forest sea.
Just when everyone was enjoying the coolness brought by this breeze, Li Gang stood up and said in a low voice: "Everyone immediately put on the loot on their backs, prepare!" ”
Li Gang's sudden order made the hunter not know why, but he still quickly put the trophy on his back, picked up his weapon and looked around vigilantly.
Li Hai didn't dare to hesitate, immediately put a package on his back, walked to Li Gang's side and asked, "Uncle Gang, what's wrong?" ”
"There are wolves!" Li Gang gently spit out two words.
Li Hai clearly felt that as soon as Li Gang's words came out, everyone's bodies trembled slightly.
In order to stabilize everyone, Li Gang hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone, in the wind blowing just now, I only smelled a faint wolf smell, and the wolves should still be some distance away from us!" ”
"Now everyone, form a small circle with me! Li Zhou, Li Zhong, you each bring four people to prepare for spears on the periphery! Li Shan, Li Zhong, take the knife in the inner circle! Xiaohai, the four of you are preparing bows and arrows in the innermost circle, shoot them for me when you see them! Now follow me. ”
Time was pressing, Li Gang didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly ran to the front of the row and led everyone out.
"Huh."
He had barely gone when Lehi heard a sound on his left side, and he shot an arrow without looking.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
A scream sounded, and a black wolf with an arrow stuck in its back jumped out of the grass on the side of the road and pounced on Li Zhou.
With the attack of this black wolf, four black wolves were saved at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom."
The four Lehi in the innermost part immediately drew their bows and shot towards the black wolf.
Two black wolves were shot to death in mid-air, and the rest were also injured, and they were stabbed to death by Li Zhou and others with spears before they could get close.
Because of the appearance of these wolves, everyone's speed couldn't help but slow down, and Li Gang couldn't help but say more anxiously: "Speed up, this is just the vanguard of the wolf pack, don't be careless." ”
After running less than a hundred meters, two more black wolves appeared at the back of the team, and the anxious crowd used their strength to eat, and once again accelerated their speed and ran towards the outside of the forest.
As he ran, Lehi drew an arrow and shot it at a black wolf.
The black wolf who rushed over, his body turned sharply, dodged the arrow shot by Lehi, and continued to chase after everyone.
Li Dawu, the archer who was also at the bottom of the team, saw Li Hai's movements and hurriedly said, "Xiaohai, don't shoot now, the distance is too far, the wolf is nimble, and he can't shoot." ”
"Yes." Lehi nodded, and grasped the arrow in his hand.
After a while, the people who had eliminated the vanguard felt something rushing towards them in the grass on the left and right.
"Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo......"
As several wolf howls sounded, two black wolves suddenly rushed out in front of them.
Li Gang, who took the lead, hurriedly shouted: "Speed up, rush out for me!" ”
"Poof, poof, poof, poof."
Before Li Gang finished speaking, several black wolves sprang out of the grass on both sides, and Li Hai and the others, who were standing in the innermost, immediately shot arrows.
This time, because of the preparation, none of the four failed, and the four wolves fell in response.
"Huh."
At this moment, the two black wolves in front of Li Gang also came head-on, and swooped up, Li Gang did not have a trace of panic, took out the mouth arrow in his arms and put it in his mouth and blew it hard, and the mouth arrow shot directly into the mouth of the black wolf that opened his mouth wide, Li Gang's hand was not idle at this time, and the black iron knife slashed the other black wolf and knocked it over again.
But after such a delay, the wolves behind chased after everyone and surrounded everyone.
"Cut the waist, cut the waist, the wolf is a copper-headed iron-bone tofu waist, greet me to the waist." Li Gang, who faced the most black wolves alone, still did not forget to remind everyone.
Lehi, who encountered this kind of scene for the first time, did not panic but felt very excited, and fired ten arrows in a row without stopping, and a black wolf fell in response to each arrow.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a terrible scream from the left side of Lehi, and Lehi turned his head to look, but it was a black wolf who was unnoticed by Li Zhong who was breaking through and took a bite.
Lehi immediately touched the quiver on his back, but he didn't.
"Oops! Run out of arrows. Li Hai cursed in his heart, and took the Aoki bow and slashed at the black wolf that bit Li Zhong.
"Click."
Now Lehi's strength with one hand has reached five hundred catties, not to mention the explosion under the anger, the Aoki bow smashed on the black wolf's head, and it was broken at once, and the black wolf's head was also directly exploded, and the blood was scattered.
"Xiaohai." Li Zhong glanced at Li Hai gratefully, but the critical situation did not allow Li Zhong to say more, and immediately dealt with the rest of the black wolves.
"You go inside, let me come." Li Hai saw that Li Zhong's hand holding the knife trembled a little, and immediately pulled out the knife to change positions with Li Zhong.
"Hmm." The experienced Li Zhong knew that this was the most correct thing to do, so he immediately stepped back and changed positions with Li Hai.
It was going to fight with the black wolf with the black iron knife, which made Lehi even more excited, and the black wolf who rushed up with the black iron knife was a wild slash.
Li Hai became more and more excited, but Li Gang, who opened the road in front, was surrounded by more than a dozen black wolves, and he couldn't break through for half a day.
What's even worse is that Li Gang, who was unaware for a while, let a black wolf scratch his back, and the momentum of the wolf's claws made Li Gang slide forward a few steps, and the oncoming black wolf opened its big mouth and bit Li Gang's head.
"I'm dying!" Li Gang, who was powerless, could only watch the wolf's mouth get closer and closer.
"Poof."
Just when Li Gang's heart was like ashes, a black iron knife grazed Li Gang's face and fell into the wolf's mouth.
"Uncle Gang, be careful." The sound of reminders from behind made Li Gang come back to his senses, only to see the black wolf biting his head, lying on the ground with a black iron knife in his mouth.
Li Hai, who threw the black iron knife, was also shocked into a cold sweat, if he hadn't caught a glimpse of Li Gang about to enter the wolf's mouth at this critical moment, he didn't have time to think, and the black iron knife in his hand was thrown at the wolf's mouth to save Li Gang, otherwise Li Gang would have to die here.
"Fortunately, I brought Xiaohai here, otherwise I would have confessed here this time."
Li Gang, who did not die but the situation was still not good, gave Li Hai a grateful look and immediately started the battle, but he was secretly happy that he had made the decision to let Li Hai join the hunting team this time, but he selectively forgot that at first he was reluctant to let Li Hai join, and it was Li Hai who proved himself with his strength to join the fact.
"Grass, you uncle!"
Li Gang was fine, but Li Hai, who had just thrown the black iron knife, was caught off guard and was bitten in the arm by a black wolf.
With Lehi's strength, the palm of his hand was directly inserted into the wolf's head, and the white brain flower was brought out as soon as he grabbed and pulled it out, and the black wolf didn't have time to scream, so he was caught to death by Lehi with a palm.
"Phew." Lehi spat out the wolf blood that splattered into his mouth, shook off the wolf corpse that was still hanging in his hand with a flick of his arm, pulled out the spear on his back and rushed towards the black wolf again.
If anyone saw the scene just now, they would find that Lehi's bitten arm was only pierced by wolf fangs, and he was not brought down a piece of meat like Li Zhong, only the wolf teeth were embedded in the flesh.
Lehi's angry stab eliminated a black wolf again, but looking at the more and more black wolves gathered, Lehi knew that everyone would die sooner or later if this continued, so he pulled out the spear in his hand, forced away the surrounding black wolves, and rushed towards Li Gang, who was surrounded by black wolves.
Li Gang saw Li Hai rushing towards him, and couldn't help but shout anxiously: "Xiaohai, go back to the inner circle." ”
Li Hai ignored it, picked up the black wolf that surrounded Li Gang, rushed to Li Gang's side, and said, "Uncle Gang, let's open the road together, otherwise no one will be able to leave when it's too late." ”
"Okay." Lehi had already come, and it was impossible for Li Gang to let Lehi go back, and Lehi was right, so he agreed.
With the addition of Li Hai, Li Gang's pressure was greatly reduced, and the two of them solved the black wolf blocking the road in front of them, and the team finally began to move slowly again.
After retreating less than a hundred meters while fighting, Li Hai stopped again and said to Li Gang: "Uncle Gang is not a way to go on like this, you go first, I will break the back, otherwise we will not be able to go alone." ”
"Xiaohai, you're right, but I'm a headhunter, I should come and break off, and you go first." Li Gang grabbed Li Hai, "Xiaohai, you are very talented, if I am not here, our Lijia Village will be handed over to you in the future, so I can have something, but you must not have anything." ”
Li Gang knew that Li Hai was right, in this case, someone must stay behind the broken queen, otherwise no one can leave, and most of the people who stay behind the broken queen will have to explain here, but Li Hai is the future of Lijia Village, Li Gang can't let Li Hai stay anyway, he can only stay, so it is inevitable that there will be some tragedy between the words.
"Uncle Gang, you believe me, I have a way to get out." Lehi anxiously pointed to the cloth bag he was hanging from his waist.
"Xiaohai, do you want to trick me away?" Li Gang always thought that the cloth bag that Li Hai hung on his waist contained dry food, but now that Li Hai suddenly said that he wanted to rely on this bag, he naturally didn't believe it.
"Uncle Gang, my father is still lying in bed and has to rely on me to support him, how can I be willing to die when I am so young." Lehi was so anxious that he stomped his foot, "You just believe me, go quickly." ”
"Then tell me, what are you in here?" Lehi's filial piety was well-known in the village, and Lehi's words made Li Gang believe it, but he really didn't believe that Lehi could drag the wolves with a single bag.
"I'll tell you when I go back, Uncle Gang, go quickly, if you don't leave, it's really over." Li Hai was so anxious that he couldn't help it, so he pushed Li Gang out.
"Okay, Xiaohai, I believe in you, you must come back alive." Although Li Gang wanted him to stay, the lives of other people were equally important, so he no longer hesitated to force away the wolves in front of him with a knife, and led everyone to run forward quickly.
"Get out."
Lehi, who was determined to stay, flashed to the side of the team, and with a few guns, he forced away the black wolves surrounding the team, blocking their retreat.
"Xiaohai, you must come back alive."
"Xiaohai, we're waiting for you to come back."
"You must come back alive, Haizi."
Lehi's movements made the hunting team members know his intentions, and while running, they reluctantly looked back at Lehi, and many people even wanted to turn around to help Lehi, but they were all stopped by Li Gang.
"Evil, evil, evil ......"
The five black wolves who were stopped by Lehi stared at Lehi fiercely, and the corners of their hideous mouths were still dripping with saliva, and the black wolves wanted to bypass Lehi from time to time to chase the hunting team, but they were all stopped by Lehi.
"Phew." Lehi saw that the hunting party was almost gone, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm at the black wolf who was stopped, and rushed forward.
Without the rest of the hunting team, Lehi let go even more, without flashy skills, with extraordinary strength, Lehi eliminated the remaining black wolf in three or two clicks.
Lehi, who had eliminated the five black wolves, did not leave, but stood among the wolf corpses all over the ground, picked up a stone on the ground and held it in his hand, waiting for the arrival of the wolves.
Sure enough, in less than five breaths, Lehi saw black figures in the woods behind him.
More than a hundred black wolves, under the leadership of the Black Wolf King, quickly rushed out.
The Black Wolf King saw wolf corpses all over the ground from a distance, and Lehi alone, and rushed towards Lehi even more angrily.
"Holy, that's so much." Although Lehi thought that there would be a lot, the scene of more than a hundred black wolves running wild together made Lehi quite shocked, and it was still aimed at him.
The wolves were getting closer and closer, Lehi didn't run, silently calculating the distance with the wolves, but the hand holding the stone trembled a little, revealing the uneasiness in Lehi's heart.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"I'll do it!" When the distance was enough, Lehi took off the cloth bag from his waist and threw it at the heads of the wolves.
The black wolves saw that something had been thrown over, and they all looked into the air.
"You must win, you must win, otherwise my life will be gone." Lehi threw the stone in his hand into the sack, praying incessantly in his heart.
The cloth bag thrown in the air was hit by the stone thrown by Lehi, and a burst of reddish-white powder scattered in the air.
"Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo......"
The wolves who rushed over, covered with Lehi's powder, could not help but let out a miserable scream, closed their eyes, and scurried in pain, and for a time the whole wolf pack was in chaos.
"Damn, it scared the hell out of me." Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Lehi did not dare to stop, and immediately turned around and ran out with all his strength.
"Whoop, whoop, whoop......"
After half an hour of non-stop running, the people of the hunting team gasped and stopped when they reached the safety of the perimeter.
"Now that we are safe, you go back to the village first, and I will go to find Xiaohai." Li Gang took off the package on his back and put it on the ground, and he didn't rest and turned around and wanted to run back.
"No, I'm going too."
"I'm going too."
"And me, I'm going too."
Li Gang's words made the exhausted people cheer up a little bit, put down the package, and wanted to go back with Li Gang all the way.
"What are you doing here, Xiaohai stayed just to save us, didn't you go back to Xiaohai for nothing?"
"Then I'll go with you alone, Brother Gang, and they stay."
"No, you stay, I'll go with Brother Gang."
"What's the use of you going, do you still have the strength to run back?"
"I can do it, I'll go."
"No need, I'm already out."
While the hunting team was still arguing about who to go, Lehi's voice suddenly came from the forest.
"Xiaohai!" Hearing Lehi's voice, Li Gang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stepped forward and hugged Lehi.
"Xiaohai is back, Xiaohai is back."
"Great, Xiaohai is back."
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Of course it's not a dream, Xiaohai is really back!"
Lehi's sudden appearance made all the hunting team members stunned, and it was not until Li Gang hugged Lehi that everyone reacted and stepped forward to surround Lehi.
Li Gang finally stabilized his excitement, and then asked curiously: "Xiaohai, tell me quickly, how did you run out?" ”
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, Xiaohai, how did you do it?"
"That's right, there are so many black wolves, Xiaohai, you have run out, it's really amazing."
The hunting team members on the side couldn't help but be curious.
"Listen." Lehi smiled smugly and sold a pass.
"Listen to what?" Although the people were puzzled, they did as Lehi said.
"Woo...... Whew...... Whew......"
Everyone listened quietly, and they really heard a faint wolf howl from the depths of the mountain forest, but it was different from the beginning, this cry was completely a cry of pain.
"This, it sounds like this group of black wolves is in pain."
"yes, I think so."
"It's not like it's screaming and wailing."
"yes, how miserable this must be, we can still hear it after running so far."
"Xiaohai, how did you do this?"
"It's the bag just now." Lehi saw that everyone's appetite was almost hanging, and he was not selling Guanzi.
"Is it really the bag you said? What's in it so powerful? Li Gang's face was incredulous.
"Yes...... Be...... It's lime with paprika. Lehi was very shy when he finished speaking.
"Huh?" Li Gang and the others were also stunned after hearing this.
Lehi hurriedly explained: "Lime blindfolded, pepper nose. I attracted the attention of the wolves, and if I did it again, they all hit the hook! ”
"You, you, you." Li Gang pointed at Li Hai in surprise and was speechless for a long time.
"Xiaohai, you are such a genius." Li Zhou on the side said what Li Gang wanted to say.
"Yes!"
"Yes, yes, genius!"
"Genius!"
The crowd on the side couldn't help but admire.
Li Hai thought that everyone would think that his trick was very obscene and would be made fun of, but he didn't expect to be so praised, and laughed with 'hey, hey, hey'.
In the mountains and forests, the weak eat the strong, either you die or I live, and the tricks that can survive are too late for everyone to pursue, so naturally they will not make fun of them.
"Xiao Hai, tell me, how did you come up with this trick?" Li Gang looked at Li Hai with some admiration in his eyes.
"That's what you said before, Uncle Gang, wolves are the most terrible in the mountains and forests, I was thinking that wolves are similar to dogs, they all have smart noses, and dogs can't smell chili powder, so I want to try to use chili powder, but I'm afraid that the chili powder alone is not enough, so I added lime to it." Lehi felt a little embarrassed as he spoke.
"Feelings, you are dealing with wolves as dogs." Li Shan, who couldn't believe it on the side, covered his chest, thinking that it would be difficult to come up with a method, but as a result, Li Hai simply treated the wolf as a dog, but he didn't expect it to be really done in the end.
Although everyone was speechless for a while, their hearts were moved, and Lehi was not 100% sure, just because they dared to stay and break off alone, this kind of kindness was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
However, what Li Hai never expected was that this trick of lime and chili pepper was listed by the people of Lijia Village as a must-bring product to bring to the mountain, and an enhanced version was also made.
