Chapter 6: The Wolf Is Coming
At midnight, Mu Chenghu, who was keeping vigil, was a little anxious and walked to the side of the camp to relieve himself, and after the small relief, Mu Chenghu raised his head and saw a pair of green eyes staring at him not far away. Mu Chenghu was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to the fire, shouting as he ran, "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming." ”
"Don't panic, everyone, our brothers and Iron Hammer stay here to add some firewood to the fire, by the way, we will observe the wolf's intentions at any time, you and Brother Wang, village chief, Mu Ergou hurry up and wake everyone up in the tent." Mu Chengtian looked frightened and ordered calmly.
Mu Chenghu and the three of them quickly called everyone up. Everyone was a little annoyed when they were just woken up, but when they heard Mu Chenghu and others say that the wolf was coming, they were instantly frightened and sleepy.
After Mu Chenghu gathered the villagers around the fire, he took a look at the status of the villagers, and Mu Chenghu found that the villagers were in good condition. Mu Chenghu felt that it might be because there was only one wolf.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound around the camp, and everyone looked up to find that a dozen wolves had quickly gathered around the camp. At this time, some timid children and women were so frightened that they cried quietly.
"Everyone hastened to add some more wood to the fire, for the wolves were afraid of the fire, and they left after daybreak." Just when everyone was anxious, Mu Chenghu pretended to be calm and said.
The fire of the fire grew stronger and stronger, and the wolves did not leave, but they did not come any closer. When everyone saw this, they were not as scared as they were at the beginning, but everyone kept praying in their hearts to hurry up to dawn.
As time passed, the flames in the fire gradually dimmed. Suddenly there was a howl from the wolves, and the wolves began to walk slowly towards the camp as if instructed by something.
This action of the wolves frightened everyone and hurriedly added another round of firewood to the fire, and the fire was blazing again. When the wolves saw that the fire was blazing, they stopped approaching the camp again, and the hearts of the people were relieved when they saw this.
"Village chief, we don't have enough firewood left, and we can't hold out until dawn." At this time, Mu Ergou looked at the remaining firewood and said worriedly.
"I think so! There must be some old ones in the luggage you brought, and the broken clothes are taken out from each family and burned in the firewood, and it is good to hold on until dawn. At this time, don't be sorry, it's the most important thing to survive tonight. Mu Chenghu thought about it and wanted to say to everyone.
In a moment, the group returned to the tent as fast as they could, and found the most tattered clothes from their luggage.
"Asu, why did you bring the kitchen knife, the machete, these over." Mu Chenghu looked at the kitchen knife and machete in his daughter-in-law's hand and asked.
"Take it, I'm not afraid that these clothes and firewood will be burned in a while, and it won't be dawn yet!" Liu Wu said while handing the machete to Mu Chenghu.
"I don't need it, give it to Yaoyao!" Mu Chenghu said while looking for Mu Yao.
Liu Fu pointed in the direction where Mu Yao was and said, "Take care of yourself!" The big baby of the Mu family naturally has weapons. ”
Mu Chenghu looked at Liu Wu's hand, and saw that his daughter was standing next to his wife with a shovel, and his wife and sister-in-law were holding hoes in their hands, so he took the machete in his daughter-in-law's hand with confidence.
The people around Mu Chenghu and his wife heard the conversation between the two and went back to the tent to find weapons.
Mu Chenghu looked at the people who were armed with each other, and kept praying in his heart that the wolves would leave quickly, and his party would spend the night safely.
"Dad, when I used to listen to books in the town, I heard the storyteller say that wolves are afraid of gongs, don't we have gongs! Let's bang the gong and see if it works. Mu Yao suddenly remembered that when she was in Huaxia, she heard netizens say that wolves were afraid of gongs, so she hurriedly came over and told Mu Chenghu.
"Then I'll go find the gong and try it." Mu Chenghu said as he went to find the gong.
After a while, Mu Chenghu struck the gong, and when he heard the gong, the villagers didn't know what was going on, and they all hurriedly asked Mu Chenghu what had happened. Mu Chenghu said that the big guy said that the wolves might be afraid of the sound of the gong.
"Village chief, I don't know if I'm afraid of the sound of gongs, but I think we have one or two hundred people, and the wolves may be afraid of us, or we can try to scare them away." Li Tiezhu said as soon as he heard Mu Chenghu's words.
"Village Chief, I think Hammer has a certain point, as long as we don't hurt those wolves and provoke them, we just need to scare them away." Mu Chengtian took Li Tiehammer's words and said.
Mu Chenghu looked at Li Tiezhu and Mu Chengtian and asked, "Then tell me how we should scare them." ”
"Village chief, we have to avoid hurting them, causing them to bite hard, so everyone can only use their voices." Mu Chengtian said.
"Okay, so that we big guys will stuff cotton in our ears and scold the wolves together to see if we can do it." After Mu Chenghu finished speaking, he asked the people around him to pass on the words.
After the preparation work of Mujia Village was completed, the shouts of one or two hundred people sounded in the Hungry Wolf Valley, and the wolves retreated a little after hearing it. When everyone saw that this trick worked, they worked even harder, and even children of several years old opened their voices and shouted. The wolves slowly retreated and responded with a howl of wolves.
After about half an hour, the wolves completely retreated into the dark mountains, but I don't know whether the wolves were frightened away by the earth-shaking sounds, or if they felt that these voices were too irritating and annoyed.
After Mu Chenghu saw the wolves retreating, he threw the gong into the ground, took out the cotton in his ears, and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, the villagers also took out the cotton in their ears and sat down. The wolves retreated, and although everyone was happy, no one spoke, because no one could speak for more than half an hour.
After half a ring, Mu Chenghu found that the morning star had risen from the east, so he stood up and said hoarsely: "It's almost dawn, everyone get up, pack their luggage, eat some dry food from yesterday, and leave this place quickly." ”
After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, the villagers dragged their tired bodies and began to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.
As soon as the sky was bright, the people of Mujia Village walked out of the Hungry Wolf Valley one by one. The main hungry wolf valley left a huge shadow on Mu Chenghu and his party overnight. The wolves were the first danger they encountered since they fled, but fortunately, the group worked together to resolve the crisis.
