Chapter 146: Cornered
In the withered yellow firelight, everyone was sleepy, yawning, and shaking their heads.
They really want to sleep, they don't stay up late and have a nightlife, they just sleep at night, and they basically don't stay up late.
But when they looked at the small planks at the mouth of the canyon, they just couldn't put their minds at ease and didn't dare to sleep.
Wang Yang chose six adults, and he was seven people, picked up a wooden spear, sat at the mouth of the cave, and prepared to boil the first shift.
He let the others go to sleep, holding the wooden spear himself, signaling that everything was watched by himself, and that there was no need to worry.
When everyone saw that he didn't sleep, they didn't dare to sleep, and they stared with big eyes and small eyes.
Wang Yang patted his head, what is this going on, this kind of meaning is not easy to express, and it is impossible for him to really sleep, if he goes to sleep, everyone will sleep with him, and no one will guard him.
He decided that he still had to express himself clearly with everyone, once he made it clear, and then he would express it clearly every time he could.
He wondered how he could make the vigil understand.
Suddenly, he thought of the possibility that everyone was wary of wild beasts and hunting at the same time, in other words, they were hunting at the same time as they were vigilant.
And the cave is a place to live, not a place to hunt, can you describe the cave as a place for hunting, and then divide the labor as before?
Anyway, there's no better way now, so it's better to give it a try.
So he called them all over and drew on the ground again.
This time, the theme is still a cave at night, but the difference is that he expands the scope to draw the forest, and then the wolves.
Then the others slept, and several men stood guard at the door with wooden spears, and the wolves approached and fell into the trap. So the night watchmen went to kill the wolf who had fallen into the trap.
That wasn't enough, he drew a few more people after harvesting the wolves. Wake up a few people who are sleeping, and those people are here. At this time, another animal approached, but it was a stoat.
Several people captured the stoat, and another wave of people guarded it.
In the past, many pictures were drawn.
Everyone looked at this painting, their eyes flashed, and they finally understood what Wang Yang was going to do, he was going to hunt here at night.
So at last they were willing to go to sleep.
He understood that what the crowd understood meant hunting. It's not a vigil, but it doesn't matter, as long as the effect is the same.
Having solved the matter, he also leaned on the rock wall and looked at the mouth of the cave.
Near the entrance of the cave, you can see the sparse light of the fire, the falling snow, and the chirping of small animals in the canyon from time to time.
The voice began to be heard. I feel very uncomfortable and noisy, but after listening to it a few times, it has a kind of lullaby-like magic. It seems to be quite pleasant, and when I listen to it, I want to close my eyes drowsily.
Wang Yang shook his head. There was a faint bloodshot in his eyes, and he cursed himself in his heart. Where is the momentum of the all-night battle for exams back then?
He looked at the other six, who were much tougher than him. Although his mental state was not good, he still clenched the wooden spear and kept an eye on the movements around him.
Wang Yang didn't dare to lean on it anymore, for fear that he would fall asleep, so he got up and went to the snow, picked up a handful of snow, and smashed it on his face.
The cold touch was instantly transmitted to the nerves everywhere, and it was quickly reflected in his mind, Wang Yang only felt that his skin shrank violently, and the pores seemed to be pricked by needles, stinging slightly.
The whole body suddenly shivered slightly, and the sleepiness was not there.
"Sure enough, it's still snow that works." Wang Yang walked back and leaned back against the rock wall, this time he wouldn't be so sleepy so quickly.
The moon does not come out in the middle of the night, it floats in the deep clouds, moving slowly, and time passes with it.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Wang Yang yawned, his concept of time was a little vague, he didn't know how long it was, he only knew that he had washed his face with snow many times, and his nose was about to be swollen.
He looked at the six, who were already sleepy, yawning, and learning to stimulate themselves with snow.
Wang Yang muttered why the head wolf didn't come yet, if he didn't come again, he was ready to change shifts.
Where is the head wolf? It stood on top of a cliff, with the vast earth below, and in the cold wind, its hair was blowing, and its expressionless eyes shimmered with a little ghostly light.
It stood there alone, let the cold wind blow, and there were no other wolves beside it.
At this time, I could only hear a commotion in the forest behind me, and the nine wolves dragged a reindeer weighing several hundred pounds and dragged it to the side of the head wolf.
It turned its head to take a slight look, then lost interest.
It was sad and angry about the loss of four companions today, it couldn't figure out how those emaciated humans did it, obviously they didn't have much strength, and the speed was not fast, and the most powerful people came out, why were they killed by a group of "cubs"?
It's confused and powerless.
The snow fell, and it turned its head to look in the direction of the canyon, where there was a little glow of fire, and they controlled the "beast" that cost half a life if it was touched.
It doesn't understand, it really doesn't.
It grimaced, the scars on its face coming to life, and slowly squirmed, trying to rush over and sneak attack.
But it didn't move after all, and silently came to the reindeer, which it had never seen before, or rather, a deer that grew so big.
The weather has changed a lot lately, and it has seen many new species, but it doesn't make much difference, and all of them have been reduced to food for its mouth.
It bit the reindeer's belly, tore hard, and with the help of its wolf paws, it finally tore open a large mouth and ate the entrails.
On Wang Yang's side, they held on for a while, but they couldn't bear it anymore, so they woke up the group of the chasers and asked them to take over.
The exorcist woke up very excited, looked left and right, ran out of the canyon, and ran into the depths of the cave, and finally came to Wang Yang with a puzzled face, learned to howl a wolf, and asked what about the wolf?
Wang Yang knew what he was wondering about, and the picture he drew showed that he would wake them up to take over when he caught the wolf, and the wolf had not been caught yet.
Wang Yang also wanted to know where the wolf was, but the wolf hadn't come yet, and he didn't know if it would come.
He waved his hand to show that the wolf had not yet come, and handed him the wooden spear.
In the drowsiness, Wang Yang fell asleep, this night was surprisingly quiet, the wolves did not come to sneak attack, and when Wang Yang woke up, they were already on the rise.
Then he noticed that the chasers had been on guard until this morning since they had been woken up the previous night, and they were not tired.
He didn't wait for the wolves, let alone the other animals, and the night was quite boring.
Wang Yang wiped his face, he originally planned to rotate in three shifts, so that everyone could ensure enough sleep, and if he wanted to drive away, he would not change shifts if he didn't catch the prey.
"Model worker." Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder in admiration.
The adults packed their bags and prepared to enter the forest again.
Before leaving, Wang Yang painted a few pictures for the crowd, to the effect that it was carried out according to yesterday's plan.
The people set out, they came to the mountain, and the snow was much lighter today, and it seemed that it would not be a few days before the snow would stop.
They still stopped at the mountainside and climbed the trees.
The head wolf heard the news and showed his body not far away. It looked at the crowd, crouched down, and just guarded.
The exorcist is not impatient, he has only seen the first wolf at the moment, and the other wolves have not yet appeared, and it is likely that they will attack the tribe.
In the canyon, Wang Yang and his friends held wooden spears and waited for the arrival of the wolves.
They stopped all their work and didn't go out at all, and in the past two days, Wang Yang didn't even have time to lead the chicken boss and other animals out to breathe, and he endured the noise of the rat swarm all the time.
The plank at the mouth of the canyon didn't change, and with that low plank, it was a temptation that maybe the wolves would take the bait, maybe not.
The time lasted until noon, and after several hours of passing, still not waiting for the arrival of the wolves, Wang Yang silently lowered his head and looked at the snow in contemplation.
On the other side, the chapers and others didn't know if the wolves had been caught in the canyon, they just stayed in the trees, swept the snow off their shoulders from time to time, and then looked at the wolves.
At this moment, an accident occurred, and a wolf showed its body, and it ran up to the head wolf, adding the head wolf's cheek.
The head wolf didn't know what to think and quietly left.
The current situation suddenly changed greatly, and everyone was a little overwhelmed, the first wolf left, but another wolf remained, standing under the tree, not daring to sit like a wolf, looking at everyone very uneasy.
This situation continued until the evening, and the people still did not dare to act rashly, they did not know what was happening, was it the wolf himself who invaded the canyon?
Descending from the tree, they glanced at the wolf, who immediately woke up, stood up, and slowly took two steps back.
Everyone hesitated for a moment with the spear thrower, but still didn't move, and slowly walked back.
The wolf did not follow, it watched the crowd go away, motionless.
Back in the cave, the exorcist told Wang Yang what happened today, Wang Yang didn't have any more ideas, they alternated for a while and it wasn't a big deal, maybe they were running out of food and found prey during the day.
He was concerned that the wolves were not coming.
"Try the evening, maybe they'll come."
When the evening came, Wang Yang followed yesterday's arrangement, and he was on duty for the first half of the shift, and then changed the chapel and others.
Today, the expellators and others went to bed early, went to sleep after eating, and when they got up, they had a full night's sleep.
They and Wang Yang took turns to keep watch all night, except for snowflakes and cold winds, nothing came to watch.
The next day they entered the forest again, and there was still no change, and the wolf made up his mind, and did not make any movement, but crouched at a distance.
Then at noon, another wolf took over its shift.
This situation lasted for a few days, and everyone felt that something was wrong, including Wang Yang.
Wang Yang didn't want to delay any longer, if the wolves were not eliminated for a day, he couldn't focus on other things, he didn't want to waste time, there was no point.
So, he made a difficult decision. (To be continued......)
