Just as Tinch was about to go to bed, a long wolf howl rang out, piercing the calm night sky and echoing through the valley. It is like a declaration of sovereignty, and there is a kind of domineering spirit of self-respect in it, and there is a hint of cruelty and madness.

The little cutie who slept at the end of the bed was also awakened by this howl, and lay on the bed with two ears erect to listen to the wolf howl that was still echoing in the valley, and let out a low roar from his mouth.

This was followed by another wolf howl, different from the one just now, a little low, as if it was greeting, without provocation.

Outside, several animals were lying on their stomachs in their dens, seemingly motionless, but their violently beating hearts and rapid breathing proved their fear of wolf howls. Tinch had only heard the howl of a wolf when he first arrived, but he hadn't seen it since a loud roar, and it was unknown if he had migrated away or returned after foraging elsewhere.

Despite the absence of the moon, the way wolves communicate through sound transmission has not changed. At this moment, on a cliff, a majestic golden wolf was looking down at more than two dozen large and small gray wolves below after letting out a howl.

Adult gray wolves are extremely large in their own right, with a body length of about 1.8 meters and a shoulder height of about 80 centimeters. But this black wolf is obviously much thicker, with a body length of two meters, a shoulder height of one meter, and a white spot like a moon on its chest.

The wolf in the distance did not respond, the black wolf seemed to be satisfied with the reaction of the wolves, turned around and came to the side of the female wolf who looked very beautiful and had silver-white hair, lowered his head and touched each other's noses, the head wolf picked up a small wolf next to the she-wolf, turned and went down the mountain.

The she-wolf also followed the first wolf, and followed closely with the other wolf cub, and the other wolves also got up, or held their own wolf cubs in their mouths, or dispersed, protected the she-wolf and the cub in the middle, and quickly descended the mountain.

The wolf led the wolves to a glade, surrounded by strange stones, and in the middle of these stones there was a relatively large cave, and the mouth of the cave was surrounded by hoof prints, such as deer, sheep, and wild boars, but judging from the large area of soil that had been turned up around it, this cave should be the foothold of wild boars.

Looking at the cave in front of him, the black wolf let out a low roar, and then five or six sturdy male wolves around him ran in the other three directions and disappeared from the sight of the wolves, while the other wolves gathered the young wolves together and stared at the burrow of the wild boar, which they had chosen as a temporary foothold, at least for now.

The departed wolf went to find a more suitable burrow.

Ding Qi didn't pay much attention to these wolf howls, and fell asleep quickly after calming the little cutie a little.

The next day, Tinche went out on patrol and armed himself with bows, knives, arrows, spears, and flying stone ropes to protect himself from sudden attacks by predators or large beasts. He had a hunch that sooner or later he would have to clash with these wolf encounters, because of the overlapping living space between the two sides.

Nature is cruel, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, if you don't want to be eliminated, you can only eliminate the other party. Simple, direct, and cruel, you live or die.

The rest of the time, Tinch began to concentrate on one thing: the defense of the camp. This work is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is the construction of the fence, and the other is the arrangement of the trap.

The size of the fence is ten meters long and wide, and three meters high, just enough to enclose the wooden house, the wooden shed, the toilet, the sheepfold, the rabbit cage, and the chicken coop, which is too big for him to defend. The wall is forty centimeters wide, and the building material is more than a dozen carts of stones pulled back before, which is not enough to prepare adobe.

Ding Qi first used a hand-saw to make four thick wooden planks, and then used a chisel and saw to make the corresponding tenon structure, and assembled it into a billet mold with a length of 40 centimeters and a width of 20 centimeters and a height of 20 centimeters. Before and after, Ding Qi made five blank molds, so that the flow of work can be accelerated.

In addition to the blank mold, a relatively strong stone with a smaller size than the mold was also found to smash the adobe.

Water and mud are added to the soil, and a lot of long-stemmed weeds are added to it to increase the strength of the adobe and ensure that the adobe will not fall apart when it is transported.

The adobe soil comes from a circle of stake traps dug by Ding Qi around the house, the distance between the traps and the fence is about one and a half meters, each trap is two meters long, two meters wide, and one and a half meters deep. The earth was all used to make adobe, especially the trap behind the wooden house, which was five meters long, two meters wide, and two meters deep.

For the next half month, Ding Qi dug traps and made adobe while drying, and the time schedule was full, and he only slept six hours a day, in order to speed up the construction of the wall. He had a sense of urgency and a sense of crisis, and had come across a lone wolf several times when he had been patrolling around recently, and even the prey he had caught in the trap he had laid was blatantly eaten by it. If it weren't for its cunning and always far away from Ding Qi, Ding Qi would have killed it with the bow and arrow in his hand a long time ago.

Especially recently, the howling of wolves will come and go every night, and it will take a while before they stop. It was as if they were holding a feast of joy and a feast of blood.

Thank God, there has not been a single heavy rain in the past half a month, but the light rain has rained once, not big, and has no effect on the dried adobe.

The billet was made slowly, but it didn't take much time to build the wall, not to mention that Ding Qi used some scattered time to build the dried adobe in advance.

Three days later, the three-meter-high wall was built, and Ding Qi also made a wooden trowel to plaster the outside of the wall with a layer of lime, mud and weeds, so that the wall also looked more beautiful, strong and durable, especially without gaps. The walls on the other side of the gate are all made of stone, and there are no cracks left in the stones.

And at the gate, Ding Qi left a heart. The first is to build a wooden fence-type wooden gate out of strong pine wood, the wooden door is two meters wide, each piece of wood is ten centimeters thick, and the interval between them is ten centimeters. If the wolves are outside the door, Dinch can directly stretch out his spear and kill them. The second is that a three-meter-long trap was dug at a place of one meter and a half outside the door, which formed a chain trap with Ding Qi's bow and spear, which would make the wolf in a dilemma.

Either they will be killed or they will flee, but if Tinch wants them not to flee, they will have to be killed.

To put it bluntly, Ding Qi did all this work to prevent wolves. There are many examples of wolves crossing walls and attacking people and livestock in the movie, not to mention the wolves in the primitive period, and the wolf he saw in the past few days is one meter eight long, which shocked Ding Qi.

After the wall was built, Ding Qi felt a stronger sense of security in his heart, and even brought those domesticated herbivores with him a lot of stability. But the little cutie is not like this, every day will run into the woods, hunt some small animals to exercise their hunting skills, but also keep an eye on the wolf's movements, can't fight, but climb the tree The other party has no way. It's just that Ding Qi doesn't know these things, and even if he does, he will encourage him to exercise himself more, and if he doesn't work hard and rely on others, he will never grow up.

There was still a lot of adobe left, and Ding Qi placed it directly on both sides of the inside of the gate, and built two platforms with a height of one and a half meters, so that he could shoot with a bow and arrow behind the door.

In the evening, Ding Qi treated himself well, and then checked and sorted out all the weapons and equipment before he fell asleep.
