Twenty-fourth Trap
After a group of people experienced this, they walked more cautiously, and at this time, the sound of a wolf howling suddenly came, and the sound was not very far.
Hearing this voice suddenly also startled everyone, and at this time the villagers had walked far away, and Wu Qingzhu slowly followed behind them in order to take care of a few little girls.
The frightened Helan and Qingmei grabbed Wu Qingzhu's sleeve at the first sound of the wolf howl.
Wu Qingzhu also knew that at this time, he could only take a few little girls to meet the crowd in front of him, and it was the stupidest idea to stay here.
"Hurry up, go to the front and find someone else."
"I'm not going, I'm scared, I want to go back." One of the little girls in a short jacket hugged the tree next to her and cried and didn't want to leave.
"I'm not going either, there's a wolf ahead!" The thin little girl hugged her clothes tightly, it would not only be cold, but also very scared.
At this time, a voice came from the front, "There is a wolf, go back!" ”
"Quick, go back!"
As soon as Wu Qingzhu was excited, he took Qingmei and Helan's arms and walked back: "Don't be stunned, run back quickly, stay if you don't want to die." ”
The little girls who were yelled at by Wu Qingzhu were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that the three of them had already walked in front, they hurriedly followed in fear.
Since it was dark and the road could not be seen clearly, a group of people could only run to the place where there was a sound by feeling, but the most on the mountain road were traps.
It was dark and I couldn't see clearly, and there was snow to cover up, one of the little girls didn't know what she stepped on and her whole body fell forward, and the other people's center of gravity also fell down.
The trap they fell was a hole, a hole three meters deep, it should have been in existence for a long time, it seems that some hunters set it up to catch large animals, and there were six people who fell, and two of them also broke their feet.
A few people looked at the high entrance of the cave, and then looked at the dark surroundings, and the girl's family felt even more aggrieved.
"I ...... I don't want to die here! As one girl cried, the other two cried.
These three girls are also from the village, but they are rarely seen, and Wu Qingzhu often reads and studies, and does not have much time to understand the affairs of the East and West families, so they don't know her name.
"Don't cry! If you cry again, you will call the wolf. Wu Qingzhu was really tortured by these girls this night, for the first time in his life, he felt that the girl was so annoying, and a series of things couldn't help but make him, a person who was moody, want to lose his temper a little.
Then turn your head to look at the little daughter-in-law who fell down with her, well... Look, I didn't cry at all! The courage is really much more than them, and I can't help but feel a little more comforted.
After being yelled at by Wu Qingzhu, Qingmei also bit her lip and didn't dare to make a sound, and little by little she got closer to her brother and Helan.
As soon as Wu Qingzhu moved, he felt Helan tremble, and hurriedly reached out and shook his little hand to comfort: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine, the clansmen will pass by here in a while, they will definitely be able to find this hole, you and Qingmei will sit together first, and I will get up and take a look first." ”
"Why don't you sit there for a while, it's too cold." Helan was scared at this time, suddenly fell into such a cave, no one knew what was in it, and they couldn't see it in the dark, what they were most afraid of was that there were hibernating insects in it, and they didn't know if they could go up alive if they encountered snakes or something.
"I've got all the sulfur powder in my pocket, so you sprinkle some first, and I'll raise the torch high so they can see it." What Wu Qingzhu thought about was that they couldn't just wait for others to save them, they had to save themselves.
Take a look around and try to find a few places to stay and climb up slowly, maybe you can get out early.
After looking around, Wu Qingzhu also knew in his heart, and was about to hand the torch to a few little girls to hold it for himself, and then tried to climb up by himself, and when he turned his head, he saw a green light refracted from it, which was very infiltrating.
Wu Qingzhu swallowed his saliva, he seemed to see the bright light from his sharp teeth.
Pretending to be calm, he held the torch calmly, pulled it and sat down in his original place, and pulled Qingmei and Helan to his side, and then stared at the place where the green light was shining above, not daring to relax for a moment.
Qingmei moved for a moment to ask what was going on, but was immediately covered by Helan's mouth.
Yes, Helan is sure that there is a wolf on it, they are probably the food in its eyes now, it may also realize that this is a big trap and did not jump down, if they make any noise to attract its attention or madness, then they are likely to become its food.
In the second half of the night, the air was getting colder and colder, and he could freeze in one breath, and there were traces of frost on several people's faces, Wu Qingzhu hugged Helan and his sister to snuggle up to each other to keep warm, and the three girls opposite were also leaning against the wall to keep each other warm.
Although he didn't see the wolf overhead, Helan had already whispered that there was a wolf on it, which scared several little girls even more.
Helan kept thinking in circles in order not to let herself get sleepy, and when she thought about it, she thought that she was fortunate to fall off at that time, compared to being eaten, the cold was not such a terrible thing.
Helan kept rubbing his hands, his body was faintly trembling, Wu Qingzhu also felt Helan's small movements, and stretched out his hand to stuff Helan's hand into his arms.
The sudden movement also startled Helan, and she looked up at the man with some thick and broad shoulders, and couldn't help but feel a little shy.
However, at this time, I feel that the heat source is subconsciously stretched in, and living is the most important thing.
After another hour, Wu Qingzhu had a little upper eyelids and lower eyelids, and he didn't see the wolf have any intention of leaving. I kept wandering overhead, but fortunately, I didn't jump off all the time, and at the same time, it also made everyone's hearts hang.
At this time, there was a sudden wolf howl, the tone was very long, and then the wolf turned his head to look in one direction, and then looked down, as if he was a little unwilling, lowered his head and turned away.
At this time, Wu Qingzhu let go of his hanging heart, everyone who lives under the mountain knows that the wolf cry just now is the call of the first wolf, and the wolves scattered outside at this time have to go back when they hear the movement.
After waiting for another ten minutes and finding that it had no intention of coming back, Wu Qingzhu lit the torch again, and then looked around for wood and branches, leaves, and the like.
With the exception of the two with broken legs, everyone else knew what they were going to do next.
When the fire was really lit, the girls present cried silently except for Helan.
The three girls on the opposite side, Wu Qingzhu, could only abide by the rules and stay away, looking at the little girl who was still comforting her sister with trembling hands, Wu Qingzhu didn't know whether to comfort people, or which one to comfort first.
"Don't cry, it's not good to bring them back later." Wu Qingzhu's original intention was to persuade people, but he didn't expect this sentence to be more like a catalyst, several girls bit their clothes and didn't dare to make a sound, and their tears flowed more fiercely.
At this time, the little girl in the short jacket spoke: "Uncle Wu, can we go out?" ”
This little girl Wu Qingzhu has a little impression, she should be the eldest granddaughter of Uncle Haimu's brother's family, and she should be Ling'er's, and it can be seen from her clothes that the family conditions are much better than those of other girls.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to get out, and I'll climb up when it's dawn and no one comes, and then I'll pull you up."
"Really?"
"Well, I took a look, it's not difficult, you guys wait a little longer, don't sleep, it's easy to get sick when you fall asleep."
After listening to what Wu Qingzhu said, several people somewhat let go of their hanging hearts. A few people whispered to each other, reminding each other that they couldn't sleep, but fortunately, there was a fire for a few people to keep warm on this cold night, so as not to freeze to death here first.
"Let me tell you a story." This was said by Helan, and this kind of scene suddenly reminded her of the little match girl.
"It's the last day of the year – Chinese New Year's Eve, it's snowing and it's frighteningly cold.
A little girl selling matches was walking down the street, her clothes were old and torn, and she was wearing a pair of her mother's big slippers on her feet. She had many boxes of matches in her pockets, and she kept shouting along the way: "Sell matches, sell matches!" People are buying holiday food and gifts, and who cares about her?
……
At this time, there was also chaos in the cave, and there were a lot of big and small cries, and Father Wu was stopped several times when he wanted to rush out to find someone.
"It's not that I don't want to save it, you look at these people who went out last night, there are seven or eight of them injured, and if it weren't for their lives, they would have been taken away by wolves. If you go out again, you don't want your own life. Li was tugging at his mustache, and he was a little aggrieved and wanted to cry.
"Then you can't hide here and ignore them, that's our child, you don't care if we look for it ourselves." One of the younger, middle-aged couples argued with the village chief with excitement.
"I said it all, we'll look for it again when it's dawn."
"When it's dawn, they don't know what will happen." What this man didn't say was that he hadn't come back for so long, and if he wasn't taken away by the wolf, he would have to freeze and almost lose half his life.
This has always been a problem for him to avoid, he is afraid that things will be his own thoughts.
It is noisy, and the whole cave is not at peace.
In the end, it was the clan elder who came out on crutches to adjust: "It's dark now, and I can't see anything!" If you dare to make a little movement, you are attracting wolves, and when the time comes, not only will you not be able to save people, but everyone will have to get in. ”
"Wait a little longer, or it will be dawn in an hour."
At this time, a lady with a headscarf cried and said: "I'm afraid that I won't see anyone for a while, our family has been for several generations, just this one girl, what kind of crime!" ”
"It's useless for you to cry, the wolves just now barked, and they are all together at this time, do you dare to run out to find someone, don't you want the elders and children in the family!"
The women who wept and wept at one sentence instantly lost the brilliance of hope in their eyes, and began to cry as they sat on the cold ground.
The men who were about to rush out on the side also seemed to have been stripped of their strength, and the sticks in their hands were squatting on the ground and grabbing their hair.
