Chapter 168: A New Journey

Out of the city of Tuna, Carl and his party walked all the way to the northwest, along the way you can see a few sparse migrant workers, carrying hoes, shovels busy in the field, the land here is fertile, the road is flat, there are no mountain roads, maybe it is a sign of smooth sailing along the way in the future, Carl thought.

Located northwest of the city of Tuna and adjacent to Sovia, the plain of Narinit is the largest farm and pasture in the empire, with cattle and sheep along the way, lush grass, and fragrant fruits and vegetables, where most of the food in Tunah originates.

A few people walked for a day, the sky was getting dark, they had come to the junction of the plain of Naryin It and Sovia, and more than ten kilometers ahead should be there, after some discussion, it was decided to rest for the time being, and enter the city tomorrow, the lights were bright not far away, and a village on the higher slope attracted everyone's attention. There are many thatched huts in this village, and because the nearby farming is too far away from the main city, it takes a day to travel back and forth, and there is often no need to do any work back and forth, so the peasants temporarily built such a place to settle down on the nearby high slopes, and slowly became a village over time.

When I got closer, the whole village was surrounded by a ring wall, one meter and a half high, dozens of centimeters wide, and covered with barbs made of tree branches, which looked a little rudimentary, as if it was used to defend against something.

Carl walked in without knowing why, and as soon as he stepped into the farmhouse, the lights of the thatched huts around him were all turned off, and it fell into darkness for a while, and several people stood still and looked around, this village seemed to be a little strange!

Lopez didn't understand why all of a sudden the lights were turned off: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?"

It didn't take long for the lights to turn on in the nearby room, and then the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out with a shovel.

Lopez spun around: "What are you kidding? We're not human, are we ghosts?"

Hearing Lopez's words, the middle-aged man was not only not angry, but breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, I see that you are also passers-by, it's getting dark, poor and remote, come on, come and sit in the house." ”

Entering the house, chatting only to learn that the man's real name is Ah Da originally lived in the west of the city of Duna, is a native of Asimetro, has a wife and a pair of children, when he was young, he set up a small ranch here, in recent years, he has raised more than ten cows, more than 20 horses, and 20 sheep, usually planting some vegetables and fruits or something to sell back to the city, and the small life is quite passable, but a strange thing happened not long ago.

It turns out that there is a kind of wolf nearby, living on the plains all the year round, the size is not large, the length of about one meter, there is a thirty or forty catties, because the speed is extremely fast, like the wind, it is also called 'wind wolf', because the wind wolf is mild by nature, and feeds on the hares and wild cats on the plains, and people can live in harmony, and they have been safe with each other for many years, but just recently the wind wolf has changed his temperament.

Ah Da described what happened more than 20 days ago:

It was early one morning, I got up early and came to the pasture, because today is almost the day of the cow giving birth, I didn't sleep well all night, when I came to the pasture, the grass on the pasture was full of blood, and I looked at the corpse of the cattle at home, and there was a wind wolf next to the corpse, it was obvious that the wind wolf bit the old cow, and the old cow also killed the wind wolf by virtue of its size, and it can be seen that there were several wolves together, I was worried about the sheep, and ran to the sheep shed, because the sheep were kept in the sheep shed but fortunately there was no injury last night。

I have been running a ranch here for almost 20 years, and I have never heard of a wind wolf biting a livestock to death, so I don't take this matter to heart.

Within two days, the cow finally gave birth, looking at the faltering calf, not to mention how happy she was, she had already thrown the matter of the wind wolf biting the cow to death.

That night, there was a roar from the ranch, and I was sleeping soundly, and I was woken up by my wife: "Listen, what a sound?" ”

Because I was a little tired after a busy day, I didn't open my eyes: "Go to sleep, I have to clean up the floor tomorrow." ”

The wife remembered the cow that was bitten to death by the wolf two days ago: "Do you think it will be a wolf, the beast bit our old cattle to death two days ago, and the wolf will not come to bite the livestock again!"

I didn't even think about it, it was purely an accident: "It's the first time I've seen a wolf bite an animal, it's okay, it's all over, aren't these two days all good, you sleep, Ang!"

My wife wanted to speak and stopped, she knew that although I was loyal and honest on the surface, I was actually very stubborn in my heart, but I couldn't resist it, so I didn't argue anymore, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, my wife followed me to the ranch, and she also wanted to make sure that she was too careful last night, or if it was an accident as I said, and came to the ranch, there were a lot of cattle and horses.

I made fun of my wife: "I have said it all, I have lived here for more than 20 years and I have never seen an animal being bitten to death by a wind wolf. ”

The faint smell of blood wafted in the air, I climbed up the sheep shed with a smile and a smile, and was startled when I was about to open the fence, it turned out that the fence had already been opened, and several goats fell in a pool of blood, and half of the sheep were dead with blood all over the ground, and after several years of hard work, I slipped and fell to the ground.

My wife looked at this scene and reproached me and said, "I'll just say it's a wolf, I heard the sound last night, this beast." ”

When I returned to the village, I learned that not only my sheep had died, but also several other sheep, and these sheep were to be thrown to the ground after death, and they were not eaten, which was obviously very inconsistent with the wolf's habit of never having enough to eat in the rectum.

Then we gathered more than 20 people at the entrance of the village, put animal traps in some places where the wind wolves often haunted, and squatted near the pasture at night to wait for the wind wolves to appear.

Night fell quietly, and although several people were together, they couldn't help but tremble when they thought of those wind wolves full of fangs. Sure enough, it didn't take long for howls to sound all around, and the wind wolf still came, and his scarlet eyes were projected into his eyes like ultraviolet light, and he was really shocked into a cold sweat, and the wolf skillfully opened the fence of the sheep and walked in.

I followed a few villagers, and when I saw this, I took a hoe and sickle and rushed into the sheep shed, and the lights were on, these were two wolves, and their eyes were full of murder compared to the usual mildness.

Although the wind wolves were agile, it didn't take long for them to be subdued by the sheep barn and the Asimetros with their tools. One night, I beat two wolves and went back.

On the second day, at the entrance of the village, I, along with other villagers, peeled the skin and cramped the two wind wolves, and dried them on the plane tree as a warning, but I never expected that at noon that day, the ranch had an accident again, and the wind wolf broke into the pasture, wantonly destroying, frightening the cattle and horses to scatter and flee, and finally found it back.

In this way, the villagers built a protective wall, inserted wooden arrows, and strengthened the pasture, and the wind wolves continued to harass for several days, and gradually many villagers were injured, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I sent my wife and children back to the city.
