As soon as the fire was ignited, the wolves did not dare to approach again, and for a while everyone was kicked and went up the tree according to what Old Man Qu said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the people went up the tree, the wolves lingered under the tree.

Man and wolf confronted each other on and off the trees until dawn.

The people on the trees counted the people around each other, and except for a dozen people who had been bitten by wolves who were still wailing, there were no fewer people.

Tired and afraid, the villagers threw burning branches at the wolves from time to time in a vain attempt to drive the wolves away.

It may be the prey that reaches the mouth, and the wolves don't want to give up so easily, so they also hold on until dawn and have no intention of leaving.

The wolves did not walk, and the people did not dare to go down the trees.

So some people said that they would simply set fire to the mountain, walk all the way and burn all the way, the fire was so big that the wolves were naturally frightened and did not dare to catch up.

Burning the mountain? Weak is on weekdays, and Old Man Qu will object.

But now, more than 100 people are blocked by wolves in the trees, and if they don't go quickly, I'm afraid they will attract tigers, lions, bears, and the like later.

You know, lions and leopards are all things that can climb trees.

Compared with the mountains and forests, the lives of more than 100 people are more important.

So Old Man Qu also acquiesced in the idea of setting fire to the mountain.

They threw lit branches from the trees into the rotten grass, and in a moment the fire spread.

The wolves were indeed dispersed by the fire and smoke.

People took advantage of this opportunity to go down to the ground one after another, and if the jugs were not damaged, they carried their jugs and fled to the front.

And the injured person can only insist on escaping because he bandaged the tree a little, but he can only give up the water or something, and it is important to escape.

So a group of people, frightened, set fire to it while walking.

Fortunately, there is no wind in the mountains at this time, otherwise, if there is a reverse wind at this time, no one will want to go out.

The old man walked behind, observing the movements of the wolves from time to time.

Although the wolves were blocked by the fire and did not dare to pounce for the time being, they were also quite persevering and kept falling far behind.

I'm afraid that when the fire is not lit, they will still have a chance.

The water team fled for a day, and the wolves chased after it for a day, and the fire burned all the way.

Fortunately, there was no wind in the mountains, and the fire lit along the way did not spread much.

People are hungry and tired, and there are wolves behind them who are ready to pounce at any moment, and the day is called a difficult one.

The past seven hours were as long as a lifetime, and everyone was terrified, and they swore that they would never enter the mountain again after returning safely.

At night, no one dared to sleep with their eyes closed, for fear that if they closed their eyes, they would be pounced on by a wolf and bite off their necks in their sleep.

No one wants to die!

At some point, a mountain breeze blew in the mountains, and at first everyone felt a slight coolness.

But it didn't take long for someone to discover that the wolves that had been chasing them for a day and a night were gone.

The old man was shocked that the mountain fire was about to be fueled by the wind.

"Get up, get out of here, I'm afraid there will be a wildfire! If you're late, don't even think about going out! "The old man didn't care about them, and walked in front with the water on his back.

When the people who were still greedy for drowsiness, they saw that the old man had gone away regardless of it, so they quickly got up in fright and walked closely behind.

They were really frightened, and then they knew that they could believe that this old man could get out of the mountain safely.

The old man is in such a hurry that there may be some danger coming.

A group of people, scrambling for fear of being left behind, regardless of whether they were injured or not, rushed forward in the hazy night.

The sky is getting brighter, but everyone smells the thick smell of smoke, everyone knows that the fire is burning, and if you don't run, you will only be burned to death in the mountains.

So, some young people simply threw away the water that they had carried so far and ran forward desperately.

A water fetching team of one or two hundred people, the old elder who was pulled like this.

Just when everyone was about to leave the mountain, the sudden heavy rain caught everyone off guard.

While everyone cheered for the water, they poured the water on their backs clean, and went home easily with the empty water jugs on their backs.

The old man turned around and looked at the mountains and forests in the heavy rain behind him, and thick smoke came out, and he was glad in his heart that this timely heavy rain was not the work of the mountain god.

If it weren't for this rain, the mountains would have burned to the ground, and perhaps the villages and towns around the mountains and forests would have been harmed.

This is the real timely rain!

Even if he returned home safely now, the fire in the mountains was extinguished by the rain, and what happened on the way to get the water made the old man depressed for a long time.

Since that trip to fetch water, Old Man Qu has never gone into the mountains to hunt again.

Of course, that's a story for later.

Xie Yujiao listened to her grandfather's story of the thrilling journey, and also sweated for her grandfather.

Fortunately, Grandpa is back safely, Amitabha!

Xie Yujiao also said that there was a thief at home, but no matter how lightly she said it, she couldn't suppress the anger in the old man's heart.

He was so angry that he only rolled his hair in a mess, and ran to find the village chief.

He wanted to see who had the guts to bully him.

Xie Yujiao looked at her grandfather's suppressed anger, worried that her grandfather would really beat people to death, so she quickly called Kufei to lock the door and chase after him.

Her worries, though, were unfounded.

When she and her grandfather arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw that everyone was surrounding three dying guys.

The village chief also saw the angry old man Qu, and hurriedly got up and greeted: "Brother Qu is back, you came just in time, I was about to ask someone to call you, these three people are the thieves who broke into your house last night, and we are discussing how to deal with it." Is it handed over to the official or disposed of in the village? What is Brother Qu's opinion? ”

Old Man Qu looked at the three men who were paralyzed on the ground, his injuries were unbearable, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Why don't you hand over the official?" ”

The village chief pondered, looked at Old Man Qu's face, and whispered, "If you hand over the official, first, the road is long, and these three people are seriously injured, and we are worried that they will not be able to survive the official master's succession." Moreover, the reputation of our village is already very bad outside, and if outsiders know that there are thieves in our village, the reputation of this thief's den will be even worse. I also have to think about the younger generations of our village, don't I? ”

Old Man Qu touched the lying man with his toes and asked the village chief, "Is the village being tortured?" ”

The village chief shook his head, "No, no, if you dare to torture you like this, then you will really die!" ”

"And the injury?" Old Man Qu was puzzled, these three people were obviously overinjured, and they were obviously tortured.

The village chief pouted in the direction of Xie Yujiao and explained: "The stump that the girl buried in the yard is just to prevent thieves, but I didn't expect it to be really guarded against!" What a blessing! They deserve their bad luck! ”

"Oh~" Old Man Qu looked at his granddaughter, but the little girl didn't tell him that she buried the stump. She only said that there were thieves in the yard and she locked them in the yard, and then she found the old man Niu, and the village chief brought someone to kidnap the thief.

It turns out that this is the granddaughter's masterpiece!

The anger in Old Man Qu's heart subsided like this, "In this case, whatever the village chief does!" I also want to remove their arms and legs, so that I will not do anything, lest they really kill me!" ”

"Huh? You don't beat them anymore? The village chief obviously couldn't believe his ears, you must know that when this old man was young, if anyone annoyed him, he would be beaten and lay down for ten days and half a month.

Therefore, no one dared to mess with him later, and it was stable for decades.

Is it true that when people get old, their temper is gone?

Old man Qu didn't care what the village chief was thinking, and beckoned to Xie Yujiao: "Let's go!" Go home! “
