Chapter 161: Wolves
So, the old man Niu lit a torch to find the village chief, and happened to meet the village chief on the way, and the village chief also heard the movement here, knocked on the doors of several houses, and brought a few adult men who had not entered the mountain to come over to have a look. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the village chief heard the old man Niu say that Xie Yatou was fine, nothing happened, but he was frightened, so he was relieved.
Thinking of this bold thief again, he dared to hit the idea of the Qu family, he was not only dead or alive, but he was not afraid that Old Man Qu would come back and kill them.
He wanted to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, so he was not afraid of death.
The village chief took the people and went to Qu's house with great momentum.
Xie Yujiao trembled and followed behind the village chief and opened the big lock of the courtyard gate.
Before the village chief and the others opened the courtyard gate, they heard painful moans and curses inside, and some people were urging them to find a way to leave, and if they were caught, they would die.
The village chief and the others angrily pushed open the courtyard gate, and several blazing torches suddenly illuminated the entire courtyard, including the bloodstained bluestone slabs and three scarred men in the courtyard.
Most of the medicinal seedlings in the courtyard had died due to the lack of water for a long time, and only a few drought-tolerant ones were still standing, but because of the bad trampling of these people, there was not even a single standing medicinal seedling.
The three men were originally masked, but when Xie Yujiao ran out and locked them in the yard, the three of them took off the masked towels in a panic.
When everyone saw that the three of them were old acquaintances in the village, they all felt a little incredible.
Especially the village chief, his beard trembled with anger, and he pointed at them and shouted angrily: "Oh, what a big guts! Zhang Slanyan, Tian Jizi, Liu Guizi, you dare to burglarize, it is really a shame for me to lose the face of Dongshan Village! It's a shame not to kill you! Tie me up to the ancestral hall! ”
Everyone didn't expect these people to be so bold and dare to hit the Qu family with their ideas.
If Old Man Qu came back, it would be strange that he would have to remove their arms.
Several people were sent away by everyone in embarrassment, and the village chief wanted Xie Yujiao to go to Liu's house to live with Chuncao's mother and daughter, but Xie Yujiao politely refused.
"There's no need for the village chief's grandfather, after such a fuss now, it's almost dawn, and no one should be bold enough to be presumptuous again. Besides, there is Kufei here, don't worry, there should be no more trouble! ”
The village chief also knew that this girl had a good idea, so he was no longer reluctant, and told her to close the door and be vigilant, so that the courtyard would not be busy cleaning up first, and would rest first.
Xie Yujiao nodded yes, respectfully sent the village chief away, and then went into the house to make up for sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, but it seemed that dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and they had already obscured the sun.
It's been a long time since we've seen such thick clouds, and everyone is praying for a real rain this time.
She got up and briefly made her and Kufei's breakfast, and then began to clean up the yard.
The dried blood stains can still be clearly seen on the bluestone slab, because there is no water, Xie Yujiao can't wash it, so she simply sweeps the yard, neatly and orderly, and it passes in the morning.
The clouds that had been gloomy all morning finally began to trickle and slowly fall raindrops.
In the blink of an eye, the rain began to fall heavily, and gradually it became heavier and heavier, and the uproar was really like a pour.
I thought it would be a hearty rain, but when I looked at the sky, it was inevitable that people would be disappointed.
True to the old saying, 'the sun in the east, the rain in the west'.
The rain above Dongshan Village in the direction of the mountain forest was blowing, but the sun was shining on the other side.
And the heavy rain looks like it's coming to an end in more than half an hour.
This heavy rain came and went quickly, and it stopped when it was stopped.
This made Xie Yujiao very inexplicable.
However, with this heavy rain, at least the draft of Dongshan Village has been temporarily alleviated, and people will not die of real thirst.
Not long after the rain, Old Man Qu came back soaked.
Xie Yujiao had already found her grandfather's change of clothes and asked the old man to change them.
However, she saw that some of the people who passed by the door of the house were limping, some were being helped, and some were embarrassed without their baskets.
What's going on? Is something wrong?
Xie Yujiao hurriedly went to ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with entering the mountain this time?" Are you alright? Hurt? ”
The old man came out in a change of dry clothes and took a dry towel to wipe his hair.
Xie Yujiao stepped forward to take the dry towel in her grandfather's hand and twisted the old man's hair.
"Don't worry, even if something happens, I'll be fine. However, this time I encountered a pack of wolves and injured a few people. ”
"Wolves? Oh my God, there are no dead people, right? “
"Well, no one died, but a few bites, fortunately!"
It turned out that everyone was very well-behaved when they first entered the mountain, and everyone listened to what Old Man Qu said, until they saw the waterhole, everyone was too excited and forgot about the dangers around them.
After all the jugs were filled, they washed their stinking bodies, and got a little carried away.
If it weren't for Old Man Qu and a few obedient people who left first, these people would still be nostalgic for the waterhole and wouldn't come out.
I drank enough water, washed myself happily, and carried back so much water that I didn't encounter any danger along the way.
The hearts of the people were tense and relaxed, and they felt that there was nothing to be afraid of in this deep mountain, except for the small beasts and birds, not even a single hair of the large beasts was seen.
Everyone began to giggle, especially the women, who chattered and laughed from time to time, and startled the birds flew wildly.
And when they had drunk enough water, and had plenty of water on their backs, they walked much more slowly.
At night, I didn't go to the resting place that Old Man Qu expected.
The people who are less vigilant don't know when they will be hit by another wolf pack.
Originally, the old man arranged for a few people to take care of the fire at night.
But they no longer take Old Man Qu's words at ease.
The old man kept vigil in the first half of the night, and when he was sleepy in the second half of the night, he handed it over to the young man to take turns keeping vigil.
Fortunately, he was very alert, and in his sleep he noticed that the smell around him was a little fishy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the darkness was surrounded by small green lanterns.
He had been hunting all year round, and he didn't know that they were surrounded by wolves.
He looked at the fire that he had repeatedly explained that could not be extinguished, where was the fire?
And the young people are already in a good mood.
The old man knew that he couldn't panic now, so he took his weapons and climbing tools first, and wanted to quietly wake everyone up first, so that everyone could prepare to fight and go up the tree at the same time.
But at this time, a woman was awakened by urine, and she wanted to find a place to relieve herself, she opened her eyes and saw the surrounding scene, and was stunned for a while, and then 'ah~~' began to scream.
Finished! Old Man Qu knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he greeted loudly, "There are wolves, go up the tree!" ”
Everyone was awakened by the woman's scream, and before they could come back to their senses, the three souls who were frightened by the old man's words lost their seven souls, and where could they move.
The wolves were also stimulated by the screams of the crowd and began to pounce on people, and for a while, there was a ghost crying wolf howling in the depths of the mountain, and the screams were not stopped.
Old Man Qu waved the spear in his hand and fought with the wolves, and several brave young people also recovered from the initial fright and began to take up arms to defend themselves.
"Light the fire, light the fire! Wolves are afraid of fire! While fighting with the wolf, Old Man Qu loudly commanded people to light fires.
Fortunately, as it is today, it is dry and dry, and the dead branches and leaves are easy to ignite.
