Chapter 16: Harvest
Yang He watched those evil wolves slowly surround him, his hungry eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty and cruel look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They snooped and cruised, as if they were in all directions, but they did not dare to get too close for a moment.
The wolf is the best at bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if it was a lone traveler, they would have pounced on it a long time ago, but there are many people here, and with preparation, more than a dozen sticks are pointed outside, even if the belly is hungry, the wolf will weigh his strength.
Weigh whether you can eat these prey.
With a long groan, Yang He pulled out the horse chopping knife and stuck it on the ground, he half-opened his bow, coldly looking for the whereabouts of the head wolf.
The terrain here is not very good, and the weeds lurking in the wolves are not far enough from this side, and the bow and arrow advantage cannot be maximized, but as long as you shoot the head wolf, this group of wolves will be defeated.
Suddenly, a slightly larger wolf attracted Yang He's attention, the wolf was also alert, seeing Yang He's eyes, he immediately shrank and hid in a mess of grass, and at the same time there was a terrible howl from that side.
"Whew-w-"
The wolves all looked up to the sky and roared, and suddenly the black shadow flickered, and the two vicious wolves jumped up violently and rushed towards Yang He like lightning.
"Whoosh!"
The tightness of the bowstring sounded, and a heavy arrow and a light arrow were fired at the same time.
With a roar and a terrible howl, a vicious wolf was shot to the ground by Yang He.
The arrow pierced the wolf's head until it reached the end of the arrow, and the wolf fell to the ground with blood flowing from his head, and his body twitched a few times before he moved.
The other wolf was shot by Minister Yang, but when he fell to the ground, he kept roaring in his throat, and then Minister Yang chased after him with a light arrow, and the wolf did not move, and the blood in his mouth was drooling.
Before Yang He could breathe a sigh of relief, the head wolf's terrible howl sounded again, and more than a dozen black shadows rushed in this direction like lightning again.
At the same time, the wolves in the rear were in turmoil, and it seemed that they were ready for a third wave of attacks at any time.
A burst of thunderbolts and arrows, I heard the terrible wolf howl continuously, and four vicious wolves were shot to the ground by Yang He on the spot, he used heavy arrows, basically every arrow can kill or seriously injure a vicious wolf.
Minister Yang also shot down four, and the arrows he used were lighter, but the lethality of this and twenty paces was not small.
As long as he is shot at the vital point, the evil wolf is basically incapacitated, and even if he does not shoot the vital point, the evil wolf who is shot and injured is afraid to flee with arrows.
And the faster he shot, the more he gave full play to the speed of fire of the little bow, and when he had a breath, Yang He even saw him shoot three arrows at the same time.
The swishing sound continued, the sound of the bowstring ringing non-stop, and the smell of blood was loud, and soon Yang He and Minister Yang fell to the ground in front of the evil wolf.
But after all, the distance is close, Yang He uses heavy bows and arrows, the rate of fire is slightly slow, and at the same time, the vicious wolves that pounced from the rear also seem to have changed their strategy, they avoid the front, and a few of them pounced from the left direction of Yang He, and they will soon pounce.
Then there are wolves patrolling in front of Yang River, and if there is no one on his left flank, the only option left for him seems to be to throw his bow and take the sword.
"Bang!"
At this moment, there was a loud sound of the three-eyed gun, which frightened the wolves' tails to shrink, and they saw the fire rope in Han Daxia's hand go to a hole in Han Guan'er's three-eyed gun, and the black gunpowder suddenly burned and spewed firelight, and then more fierce fire came out of the gun's mouth.
The white smoke filled the air, and the smell of gunpowder smoke entered the nose, and a few steps away a vicious wolf was beaten and rolled out, and when it rolled in the air, it kept spraying bright red debris on its chest.
"Aim!"
Han Daxia shouted.
His son Han Guan'er gritted his teeth, turned the three-eyed gun in his hand on the shelf, changed another eyelet, and once again aimed his eyes at another vicious wolf more than a dozen steps away.
Han Daxia's firerope was a little more, the three-eyed gun exploded again, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was even thicker, and the evil wolf whimpered, and suddenly fell to the ground, its skull was hit by the three-eyed gun, and a large piece of skull was shattered, revealing a large wound of flesh and blood.
"Aim!"
Han Daxia shouted loudly, his son Han Guan'er changed another eyelet, the fire rope in Han Daxia's hand blew slightly, and a little more, in the fierce firelight, a vicious wolf a few steps away kept flying a few meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground.
It seemed to have been hit in the waist, only to roll on the ground and howl, and then some colorful intestines flowed out.
Han Daxia pulled out his waist knife from the ground suddenly, and his son also held the three-eyed gun in his hand, but the sound of the three-eyed gun just now frightened the wolves, but no wolf dared to pounce from this side.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation, but Qi Youxin was thrown to the ground by a vicious wolf, and the wolf opened its mouth wide and was about to bite him in the neck.
It turned out that a young man next to Qi Youxin was attacked by a vicious wolf, and Qi Youxin intended to swing a stick to save him, but he was stolen by another vicious wolf and pounced.
"Official."
Zhao Zhongju, who was not far behind him, looked at him and couldn't help but exclaim.
Minister Yang abruptly abandoned his bow, pulled out the copper rod inserted in the ground, and slammed it on the wolf's waist, breaking its waist in two.
Qi Youxin was desperately grabbing the wolf's two front paws to prevent it from biting into his throat, the wolf was paralyzed by Minister Yang's stick, and he was also so shocked by the heavy force that he couldn't speak.
The silent figure continued, and it seemed that more and more vicious wolves were trying to break through from this side, Minister Yang and the others roared and fought to stop it, but there were still some wolves that only got into the air and pounced on the old and weak women and children in the rear.
Biruo, a vicious wolf pounced on several of Sun Zhaodi's children.
Sun Zhaodi and several women around him swung like crazy, and blocked the pounced wolf with sticks in their hands, in order to protect their children, the mother let go.
Even Yan Dezheng forgot that he was a powerless old boy, he roared with a red face, and waved the stick in his hand desperately.
Yang He looked around, and no wolf dared to pounce on him anymore, but there seemed to be black shadows flashing in all directions, and the wolves were wandering, snooping, and would pounce as long as they took a moment, like all kinds of tactics on the grassland.
He knew what was coming from the right flank, but he still watched quietly, and he knew that the only way to end it was to shoot the wolf.
Suddenly he drew another heavy arrow, and he had already seen the wolf, which was following the wolves like a tanuki, silently approaching him.
He looked at it coldly, slowly opened the bow, one hundred and twenty catties, 158.7 pounds of the upper force bow creaked in the pull, and suddenly the wolf looked at Yang He, a pair of cruel and ruthless eyes, and then the wolf bounced up from the ground and jumped high.
Yang He jerked loose the bowstring.
"Whoosh!"
The sharp whistling sound of the air being broken.
There was a terrible wolf howl, just two steps away, the wolf was shot out by Yang He's arrows, it flew at least ten meters in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, struggling on the ground for a while, and then remained motionless.
But the wolf's throat was pierced by a long arrow, and blood gushed out in large quantities.
The attack of the wolves was sudden, and the whimpering sound was loud, and then many of the wolves drooped their tails, turned around and left.
Driven by these wolves, more and more vicious wolves pulled their heads back, and soon they disappeared without a trace, leaving only the wolf corpses in one place.
……
Yang He stumbled suddenly, feeling a little out of strength, these days he is drinking porridge every day, and his physical strength is a little lacking.
Still, he shouted, "Are you all right?" ”
The refugees replied, "It's all right. ”
There were a few painful moans in between, but there were still people who were pounced on by the wolf, but fortunately no one was bitten, otherwise the matter would be serious.
Yang He shouted, "What about Ying'er and Qian'er? ”
The younger brother and sister got out of the back basket, and the younger brother Yang Qian was still hugging his sister tightly, and the younger sister Ying'er replied loudly in his arms: "Brother, Ying'er is fine." ”
Yang He put his mind at ease, and Minister Yang sat on the ground with a slam on his butt: "I'm tired of Lao Tzu." ”
Qi Youxin and the others were still apprehensive, and Han Daxia said: "These wolves are also hungry and crazy, otherwise they should have fled as early as after the first wave." ”
Yang He was a little uneasy, and arranged for Han Daxia to go to reconnoitre, and sure enough, the wolves around him had already disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of him.
All the people were relieved, and then joy rose from their hearts.
Looking at the wolf corpses on the ground, Minister Yang laughed and said, "Haha, there is meat to eat, and there is so much meat." ”
Qi Youxin also forgot about Fang Cai's thrill, he smiled and said, "If it is well cooked, wolf meat is better than donkey meat...... I remember that there used to be a time-honored brand in Bozhou City, which specialized in wolf meat, drained after the red stew was taken out of the pot, and the dipping sauce was torn apart to eat...... That tastes ......."
Yang He was also full of joy, seeing that there were at least a dozen seriously injured wolves killed on the scene, and he only lightly injured a few people, the results of this battle were indeed great, and the problem of urgently needed food and meat was solved, he waved his hand and said heroically: "I haven't eaten meat well for a long time, and everyone will let go of it today." ”
The crowd cheered.
……
Everyone counted the results, and a total of sixteen wolf corpses were harvested at the scene, of course, some of the evil wolves in the original area were seriously injured, and they were all killed on the spot with a stick.
There was also an unexpected joy, but a vicious wolf was shot by Minister Yang with two arrows, and then fled, but left a body in a nearby bush, which seemed to have died of excessive blood loss, and was found by the sharp-eyed Han Guan'er.
This made Minister Yang feel a pity, and many wolves were only shot by him and fled, afraid that they would die sooner or later in the future, but it was impossible to find and chase them.
At the same time, Yang He and Minister Yang also recovered their arrows, and then under Yang He's order, all the young people happily carried the wolf corpse and came to the abandoned mansion of Hexia not far away.
The people of Huaibei like to build their houses in the inner bay of the river, thinking that they are so rich and prosperous.
At the same time, it is believed that the river flows into the lake and the sea, or the small river flows into the big river, which is the dragon entering the sea, and building a house and a village here can be like a dragon with a bright future.
Therefore, in the peaceful and prosperous times, if such a river, the phenomenon of seven or eight households, three or five households being villages is very common, and there are even many exclusive houses, but when the war is chaotic, the first to suffer is these small villages and single households with weak protection.
Yang River turned around in several abandoned houses, found this ruin called "Wukou" on a stone plaque, Huaibei is commonly known as this kind of river place as "Kou", and the local place is named very much with the habits such as "X mouth" and "X fork".
It can be seen that when these families gathered, they were very particular about building houses, with a wide view in front of the door, without obstruction, and they also piled up platforms and built polders in order to be waterproof.
It's a pity that when the troubled times come, no matter how good the wishes are, no matter how carefully constructed, they will not help.
Several of the atmospheric houses are now mostly ruined, and only one house is slightly better to shelter from the wind and rain.
Yang He plans to rest here today, hold a bonfire feast, and roast all wolves.

Lao Bai Niu: The wave of pinyin has also permeated the historical text? I changed it, and I couldn't bear to read it when pinyin appeared in historical texts.
If the reader has seen the pinyin place name before, you can go back to see it, the place name of pinyin and the place name of Chinese characters are completely different.
Thank you for the tips from book friends such as Black Wind Night, as well as the cover, I will ask the editor.
