After a while, I was sweating profusely and panting.

Although Aunt Chen's legs hurt terribly, she was also afraid that she would not be able to go down the mountain before dark.

gritted his teeth and struggled for his life, but he was still reluctant to drop a chestnut in a bamboo basket.

I only had the red beans in my heart, and I really had a lot of strength, so I carried her down the mountain for her.

Before she knew it, Aunt Fang had already walked to the front.

Red beans are so tired that they can't do it.

She let go of Aunt Chen and removed the bamboo basket on her back.

The high velvet had to jump off the lid of the bamboo basket with a smoke.

Hongdou pulled out the short knife that Mi Houjun gave her and cut the kink of bamboo shoots.

Throw down his basket and pick up Aunt Chen's big bamboo basket again.

The old technique of velvet was repeated, and he quickly climbed onto the bamboo basket cover on the back of the red bean.

Aunt Chen said in tears: "Red Bean, I'm dragging you down." ”

And he said, "Take the scythe myself." ”

Hongdou said: "Hang it on the bamboo basket, I'll carry it for you, and it won't weigh much." ”

Aunt Chen was grateful in her mouth, but muttered in her heart.

"Hongdou lost her basket and carried her big basket back."

"When I got home, I was embarrassed not to give her half of it."

"Knowing that the mountain road is so difficult, why not carry a small bamboo basket."

"I took her favor in vain, and asked her to share half of it in vain."

Where does Hongdou know the little Jiujiu in Aunt Chen's heart?

Wiping sweat and smiling: "It's okay, Aunt Chen, you hold on." ”

"It's not far from the bottom of the mountain, I'll help you down the mountain first."

"Put this basket here, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to get it."

Hearing Hongdou say this, Aunt Chen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart.

In addition to being ashamed, a muttering heart also let go.

Hongdou supported Aunt Chen and dragged away.

Walking a section of the mountain road step by step, Aunt Chen lamented:

"Red Bean, I really can't go anymore."

Sit down on the ground at once.

The red bean had to stop.

opened the skirt for her, unbuttoned the waist of the pants, and saw that the roots of both legs were all worn out.

The oozing blood stained the pants red.

Carpenter Wang saw that Hongdou and Aunt Chen couldn't keep up, and Aunt Fang kept complaining in his ear.

Returning in a hurry, Lao Yuan shouted to Hongdou: "Hongdou, why are you still sitting down?" ”

"It's not too early to see this day, if you go on like this, you can't go down the mountain when it's dark, what's wrong?"

Hongdou hurriedly covered up her pants and skirt for Aunt Chen.

said to Carpenter Wang: "Uncle, Aunt Chen really can't go quickly. ”

"Otherwise, you quickly take them down the mountain."

When Aunt Chen heard Hongdou say this, she was so frightened that she grabbed Hongdou and stood up.

said to the red bean: "We can't be left alone, I can go, and I have to die!" ”

Gritting his teeth, his legs spread apart.

"Ouch, ouch" shouted and took a step.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Carpenter Wang said to Hongdou:

"We can't tell everyone to hold on, let's hurry down the mountain first."

"Hurry up, there's still time to come back and pick you up."

Hongdou knew that they were all in a hurry to go down the mountain, and no one really cared about Aunt Chen's pain.

nodded in agreement: "Uncle, you go down the mountain first." ”

"It's not much far from the bottom of the mountain, you hurry up."

"Just bring a few more strong laborers back to pick us up."

Aunt Fang turned back and said to Hongdou, "I'll go with you." ”

Hongdou hurriedly said: "No need, Xiaocao is still waiting at home." ”

Aunt Fang insisted: "I don't worry, one more person can take care of it." ”

Carpenter Wang said: "It's okay, anyway, it's not too far from the bottom of the mountain." ”

"Let's go quickly, go down the hill and unload the chestnuts, and I'll pick you up."

Mrs. Chen watched Carpenter Wang turn the mountain road in front of them and disappeared.

Knowing that they don't want to be dragged down by her alone, they can't blame Hongdou for letting them go first.

Even Aunt Fang took the initiative to stay, also because of the red beans, she didn't want to take care of her.

can only be supported by red beans, while barely walking forward, sighing.

Seeing that Aunt Chen was frightened, Hongdou encouraged her and said, "Auntie, you hold on." ”

"Let's go slower, but before dark, we might be able to go down."

Aunt Fang didn't make a sound, just walked with a small shovel in her hand.

From her patience, you can also see the uneasiness in her heart.

Aunt Chen endured the sharp pain in her legs, and raised her head to look at the sun that had turned pale in the light.

The fear of being alone still came out in her heart little by little, and tears flowed more.

Crying in despair, he said, "I'm really stunned by the ghost." ”

"I knew that even if the whole family starved to death, I wouldn't go into this deep mountain."

Aunt Fang couldn't help but say, "Old Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" ”

"Red beans are kind, so we are asked to go up the mountain to pick chestnuts."

"For you, she threw away her own basket and carried it for you......"

Aunt Chen hurriedly argued: "I mean that I am ...... myself."

I know that I am dragging you down. ”

Hongdou interrupted their quarrel: "Don't talk about it, save your energy and walk." ”

Half-dragging and half-dragging, he forcibly pulled Aunt Chen and walked forward.

To be honest, the red beans who have already walked through the deep mountains and old forests do not have much fear in their hearts.

The first followed Mi Shaodong, except for picking up a slug velvet monkey.

The beasts I saw were just rabbits, foxes, weasels, dogs, badgers, and so on.

Where are the jackals, tigers and leopards?

Also, in recent years, I haven't heard of anyone being eaten by wolves.

Not even the children of the Orion family on the mountain were taken by wolves.

Aunt Chen was afraid of this, and Aunt Fang was uneasy.

In the red bean feeling, it seems that there is some self-scare to scare himself.

Hongdou urged the carpenter Wang to hurry down the mountain and then come to pick them up.

But I just want to call a few more people to carry back Aunt Chen, who is unable to move an inch.

After walking for more than an hour, the sun gradually turned westward.

Sitting on the back of the red bean, the fluff on the lid of the bamboo basket suddenly became a little restless.

Suddenly, Fluff emitted a violent, high-pitched squeak.

Aunt Chen was already scared, and it was terrifying to hear the little monkey calling.

was so frightened that he grabbed the red bean, and his body trembled.

Hongdou shouted at Velvet: "Velvet, what are you calling blindly?" ”

Suddenly, Azumi's eyes widened all of a sudden.

I saw that on the rugged mountain road ahead, there were four or five gray things.

With pointed ears, a hanging tail, and a thin and stiff waist, they are blocking their way.

Aunt Fang said in a trembling voice: "Red beans, red beans, that's a wolf, wolf ......"

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes, her body fell down, and she fainted.

Red Bean hurriedly dragged her down.

shouted loudly: "Auntie, aunt...... Don't be afraid, there is me, there is me! ”

Hongdou's shout did not bridge Aunt Chen's frightened gall.

But the wolves on the mountain road in front of him hesitated.

The big wolf in the lead, the male wolf suddenly sat down.

The other one, which is slightly smaller than the male wolf, should be the female wolf.

I took a few steps forward and turned back again.

actually lay down next to the male wolf.

The other, smaller ones, stood beside them.

It looks like a family.

Perhaps it is because of the family that it is difficult for them to catch enough food.

So he took a risk, wanting to hunt down the lonely.

These wolves may have been following the chestnut picking team led by Red Bean a long time ago.

It's just that there are many people in the lead, and they don't dare to act rashly.

Now that they have finally seen the lonely, where are they willing to let go?

Wolves are cautious and cunning.

They probably know that it's not far from the bottom of the mountain.

If you don't block the way of the red beans, they will watch the prey run away.

However, there are not many of them either.

It is still difficult to deal with three big living people.

So as soon as he heard the red bean shouting loudly, he immediately stopped.

Red Beans are really scared, on this narrow mountain road that has no obstruction.

These wolves will suddenly pounce on them regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.

Aunt Chen was already afraid of being like this, and the frightened Aunt Fang's strength was limited.

If these wolves attack like crazy, they will only be attacked in front of them.

Once the three of them were scattered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thankfully, the beast's instinctive fear of humans gave them a brief respite.

Hongdou hurriedly looked around, looking for a place where she could temporarily place Aunt Chen.

Velvet suddenly jumped off her back and ran to the side of the road.

At a glance at the red beans, dozens of steps away, there is a huge oak tree.

Velvet has climbed up the oak tree in a puff of smoke.

This little thing that is greedy for life and afraid of death only cares about itself in the face of danger.

Hongdou's heart lit up, and he hurriedly dragged Aunt Chen to run towards the Tang oak tree.

He said hurriedly: "Aunt Fang, don't be afraid, we have knives with us." ”

"Quick, run under that big tree......"

"You see, they're afraid of us, too!"

At this point, Aunt Fang knew that it was useless to be afraid.

Carpenter Wang, they probably haven't come down the mountain yet, and they can't be expected to come back to save them.

and Hongdou ran with Aunt Chen for her life.

Hongdou helped Aunt Chen to sit down with her back against the Tang oak tree, put down the back basket, and blocked her in front of her.

Let Aunt Chen hold the long-handled sickle she brought in her hand.

Aunt Chen cried breathlessly: "These beasts dare to come out and harm people in broad daylight." ”

Aunt Fang trembled and removed the back basket on her back, and also blocked in front of Aunt Chen.

Hongdou saw that Aunt Fang had a small shovel in her hand, which did not have much lethality.

took out the woodcutter and handed it to Aunt Fang.

Encouraged her: "Aunt Fang, wild beasts are afraid of people. ”

"Hold on to this woodcutter, and if they dare to come, you will kill them with all your might."

Aunt Fang threw away the small shovel in her hand and took the woodcutter.

His face was pale, and he couldn't do it, but he nodded vigorously.

Hongdou pulled out the short knife that Mi Houjun gave her and held it tightly in her hand.

In the cloth bag, there was still the bag of wine that Jin Laojiu gave to Mi Houjun.

Thinking that he was about to fight with the wolves, Hongdou took out the wine bag and threw it on the bamboo basket.

Aunt Chen suddenly shouted in a terrified hiss:

"Red beans, red beans, they're coming! It's coming......"

Hongdoutou didn't look back and said, "Don't be afraid, auntie, we have all seen it." ”

It turned out that the male wolf at the head seemed to be running away when he saw his prey.

Then he got up and took the other wolves, unhurriedly, and pressed forward step by step.

Hongdou encouraged loudly: "Aunt Fang, don't be afraid, auntie!" ”

"If these beasts dare to come, we will hack them to death with knives."

"It's close to the bottom of the mountain, and Carpenter Wang will be back for us soon."

He held the short knife tightly in his hand, but he knew it in his heart.

In fact, they can't be counted on at all.

Saying this is just to strengthen the courage of Aunt Fang Chen.

Seeing that Hongdou and Aunt Fang had knives in their hands, Hongdou stood there with the knife in his hand again.

The five wolves just spun around and pressed forward step by step, and did not dare to rush forward.

Hongdou didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

After a pause, the male wolf let out a low moo.

Two wolf cubs suddenly ran away.

Aunt Fang's face turned pale, and her upper teeth knocked on her lower teeth.

Muttered to the red beans, "They...... They're going to call something else......"

She couldn't even say the word "wolf".

Hongdou said in a deep voice: "Auntie, don't scare yourself, this is a wolf." ”

"There are only three of us, and we don't have enough ...... for them to eat."

Aunt Chen was so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry.

Hongdou suddenly realized that the two little wolves might be trying to sneak attack Aunt Chen from behind.

Then he called out to the other aunt: "Auntie, look back and ......."

As soon as Aunt Fang turned around, she suddenly shouted in panic:

"Red beans, they're coming from behind......"

said that it was too late, and the two big wolves in front of the red bean suddenly jumped up together.

bared his teeth and pounced fiercely on the red beans together.

Red Beans shouted in his mouth: "Hack them to death......"

The body flashed to the side flexibly, and let the culling of the male wolf as the leader.

Then he kicked the male wolf in the stomach.

The male wolf turned around and tried to bite the leg of the red bean.

But he didn't expect the red bean to kick out with great force, and its teeth only pulled the red bean's trouser legs.

The she-wolf almost pounced on the red bean with the male.

When Hongdou kicked hard at the male wolf, his upper body was already twisted sideways.

The sharp short knife in his hand stabbed fiercely at the she-wolf who followed.

With the short knife of the red bean, the hand is up.

A stream of hot blood erupted from the she-wolf's neck.

The she-wolf screamed, and her body surged forward, slamming her head into the grass.

"Ah......h

Aunt Fang's screams came from behind Hongdou.

Hongdou turned around in a hurry, only to see Aunt Chen with her eyes closed.

Like a madman, he wields a long-handled scythe in his hand indiscriminately.

Aunt Fang was thrown to the ground by the two little wolves together.

Seeing that one of the little wolves bit Aunt Fang's shoulder, Hongdou was anxious.

didn't care that the male wolf who had been kicked by her had already jumped up and launched another culling against her.

Jumping up, he clenched the short knife in his hand with both hands, and suddenly stabbed it fiercely on the head of the little wolf that bit Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang was in a hurry, and waved the woodcutter in her hand indiscriminately.

actually slashed another little wolf, and the little wolf instantly fled in pain.

Just when the short knife in Hongdou's hand stabbed the little wolf in the head, the most ferocious male wolf had already roared.

With a mouthful of salivation, he bit the back of the red bean's head.

Mrs. Chen, who was sitting under the Tang oak tree, watched and let out a poignant "Ah......

Hongdou felt a fishy cool breeze coming behind her head, so she had to pounce on the little wolf who was stabbed by her.

She tried her best to keep her head on the ground, trying to avoid the bite of the wolf on her neck from behind.
