Chapter 3 Encountering Wolves

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the wind and snow were much lighter.

The stone straw at the entrance of the cave has long been removed, so you can clearly hear the sounds outside the cave.

Rong Hua rubbed his somewhat sore neck and walked towards the outside of the cave, the thick snow was trampled on with potholes.

"Rong Hua, let's go."

Steward Situ said loudly. "Pack your things and go!"

Steward Situ continued, you can't let the master wait.

Rong Hua subconsciously glanced into the cave when he heard Grandpa Situ's words, and he didn't need to clean up his things at all, so he approved the old cloak given by the housekeeper to his body.

At this time, the snow did not fall much, and it still did not stop.

The group has been walking and resting for more than ten days.

I spend every day in a hurry, eating, and sleeping, which is much better than when I was in a hurry some time ago.

The group of people roamed on the snowy road in the mountains, and at the front were Xu Lihu and Master Situ and the housekeeper from Youzhou riding horses, and then there were more than a dozen carriages transporting medicinal materials, and Rong Hua was on the first carriage that pulled medicinal materials.

Lying in the gap of the sack, Rong Hua poked his head out from under the quilt, "Shun'er, are we still eating cakes and drinking broth tonight?" ”

"This, it should be, going out is not as good as being at home, so it is most convenient to eat this way."

Shun'er scratched her head, thought about it, and said, "There are a lot of dim sum and dried fruits on the master's carriage, but don't think about it, you can't eat it." ”

"I don't want to eat, I can't go to your master's carriage to steal something to eat...... " said as he said and missed modern food more and more.

After more than ten days of getting along, Rong Hua and Shun'er are already quite familiar, Shun'er is four years younger than herself, but she is the same as an adult.

"I'm going to catch fish when I'm resting, will you come with me?"

"Then I'll have to ask the butler."

"Okay, that's it." Rong Hua happily responded, just looking forward to chiseling ice and catching fish when he rested.

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and before it gets dark, the group repairs on the spot.

Before Rong Hua put the quilt away, he urged Shun'er and said, "You went and asked the housekeeper and grandfather." ”

"Okay then." He was a little hesitant, but he couldn't take back what he said.

I saw him slowly move to the butler's side, whispered a few words, and ran towards him with a happy face, Rong Hua knew that this was done.

"Ronghua, let's go quickly, we won't be able to go after dark in a while." Dark dangerous.

"Let's go, I just saw a lake over there, very close to us." Shun'er's hand pointed in the direction Fang had just come.

"Brother Xu will also go with us."

Shun'er is very happy, and Brother Xu will definitely return with a full load.

"Hurry up, it's going to get dark in a minute."

After Xu Orion finished speaking, he took care of the tools he needed for fishing, obviously not wanting to say more.

"The housekeeper said, after eating bacon soup for so long, it's good to catch some fish and come back to taste it, I'm afraid that we will come back empty-handed before we call the hunter to join us, Brother Xu's face is cold and hot, don't worry." Shun approached Rong Hua and whispered.

The place was not far away, and the three of them walked less than three hundred steps to reach it.

At this time, the surface of the lake looked more like a big pit from a distance, and when the snow on the lake was swept away, the surface of the lake was as hard as a rock, Rong Hua was a little embarrassed, and turned his eyes to the hunter.

I saw him roll up his sleeves to his forearm, half-squatted on the tool in the center of his body, turned back and forth several times, and then stepped on a few more feet, and said, "It's done!" ”

Rong Hua's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran over to take a look, and really saw that a round hole had been opened on the surface of the river, and the lake water under the thick ice was crystal clear, and several big fish were hiding at the bottom of the river.

"This fish is stupid, it's easy to catch, I'll catch you and play with it." Xu Orion waved his hand unconcernedly, obviously not intending to let the two of them interfere.

Shun'er tugged at Rong Hua's sleeve and saw that Rong Hua refused to leave, so she had to stay by Rong Hua's side.

The hunter put the net into the water, and after a moment of effort, the hunter lifted the net, only to see a few small fish struggling in the net.

Seeing this, Shun'er hurriedly helped Xu Orion to rescue the fish from the fishing net, and three times like this, there were more than a dozen fish next to several people.

Rong Hua couldn't help but applaud. She had never seen anyone fishing in the winter, but she could be regarded as "really powerful".

"That's, Xu Orion is in Youzhou, but this." Thumbs up.

On the hole of Fang Cai, everyone was busy disposing of more than a dozen fish around them.

When I got back, it was boiled into a pot of soup.

Just walk and stop, and get closer and closer to Ping'an City.

"Finally arrived in Ping'an City, and the first thing I did when I arrived in Ping'an City was to eat a big bowl of delicious wontons, and then go home to report my mother's safety." The thumb and forefinger of both hands circle a large circle.

"Look at your little bit of interest, if you have money, you should go to the restaurant to eat a good meal, how can it be satisfied with a little chaos."

"I see that you have money to go down to the restaurant, it is better to buy some beaded hairpin belts, look at you, up and down like a tomboy."

"I think you're begging, I'm just shorter in hair, is the tomboy as good-looking as me?" This sentence is not a lie, Rong Hua is extremely good-looking, young, and his face is also fleshy, which is the best age, especially the natural pair of thin willow eyebrows, which is even more gentle.

"Hahaha, you look like a tomboy when you're angry right now." Of course, Shun'er knew that Rong Hua was good-looking, he just thought that Rong Hua's angry appearance was more funny.

The two of them were not convinced, and after a few words, Xu Orion, who was next to the carriage in front, turned back frequently, and then stopped his voice.

"Whew......"

The person who called it had a numb scalp and cold hands and feet.

Xu Orion shouted in horror, "Hurry up and light the torches, everyone light the torches and form a circle." ”

The surroundings were dark, except for the torches lit by everyone were dense green eyes more than ten meters away, Rong Hua only felt that his scalp was tight, and his cold hairs stood up.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and everyone didn't dare to make a loud noise even if they were panting, Shun'er quietly pulled Rong Hua's sleeves and motioned Rong Hua to get out of the carriage and move closer to everyone. Rong Hua slid slowly down the sack, for fear of startling the wolves not far away, and when he slid off the carriage, he only felt that his palms hurt badly, and it was estimated that the skin was worn out, and these were not important.

By the time Rong Hua entered the torch circle, the atmosphere was already very tense.

The air was filled with the smell of spirits, and the raging fire continued to consume the herbs.

Master Situ couldn't care about being distressed, his life was important, and he had to make this decision in order to drive away the wolves.

The wolf not far away seemed to be a little closer to the crowd as if it was not afraid of fire.

"I'm afraid it's more auspicious today." Xu Orion understood that this was a group of hungry wolves, and he was afraid that he had been hungry for a long time.

The head wolf was in the prime of life, with a strong body and shiny fur, and after standing on the stone and roaring a few times, wolves continued to gather behind it.

"Hold your bow and arrows and slowly retreat, it looks like they are attacking in groups. Climb up the tree first, and you can drag it out for a while. Master Situ spoke softly, for fear of startling the wolves.

The wolves were getting closer and closer, and everyone slowly retreated under the protection of Master Situ until they reached the big tree.

When human lives are at stake, the cart of medicinal materials can only be put aside for the time being.

Under the command of Xu Orion, a group of family members looked at the wolves in a fighting posture, and no one dared to move for a while, and only the wheezing of the wolves and the sound of medicinal herbs under the fire could be heard quietly.

"Crack", I don't know who stepped on the dead branches under their feet, the wolves bypassed the fire and rushed towards everyone, and everyone panicked and had to pick up the weapons in their hands to deal with the wolves.

Xu Orion snorted, and stabbed into the wolf's body with a big knife that had not been used for a long time, and the hot blood splashed on Rong Hua's face, Rong Hua seemed to be burned, and couldn't help screaming but was so smoked by the smell of blood that he wanted to vomit and had to shut up.

"Kill the wolf!" Pulling the knife out of the wolf's belly, Xu Orion said loudly.

Stunned by the scene in front of him, under the light of the fire, the fierce wolves were fighting with people, the sword was eyeless, the beast was ruthless, and after a moment of effort, Rong Hua had already seen many familiar faces covering their injured bodies and fighting with the wolves desperately.

It's not the way to go! What to do? What should I do?

Yes, Rong Hua had a flash of inspiration.

At this time, it was dark and the light was extremely dim, and she could secretly manipulate the plants to control the wolf's movements, without worrying about others seeing and suspecting her.

Stepping away from her legs and feet, she hid half of her body behind the big tree, looked around, her right side Master Situ hid in the big tree, under the tree were the housekeeper and three family members, Xu Orion protected Shun'er and stood very close to him and fought with the wolves in front of him, and the rest were farther away.

Looking at the two crippled family members who fell to the ground, Rong Hua no longer hesitated, and flicked his fingers lightly, and the roots of the tree on the ground continued to extend like a flexible python, crawling towards the nearest wolf, instantly restraining the wolf's limbs.

Sure enough, the wolves were killed as soon as their movements were restricted, and at the same time, Rong Hua withdrew the roots of the tree and headed towards the next target, back and forth, only six wolves were left without killing including the head wolf, do you want to kill the head wolf? After hesitating, he only restrained the wolf's legs, and when Xu Orion saw that the wolf's movements were stagnant, he decisively swung his big knife and stabbed it into the wolf's stomach.

The head wolf died, and the wolves ran away like a low tide.

On the way back, the atmosphere was much quieter, and a cart of medicinal herbs was lost, and two people died.
