Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fighting the Wolves
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow outside the cave is getting thicker and thicker, and there is a white expanse everywhere, and the nearby mountains and rivers are dressed in silver.
Everyone is roasting in the cave, eating barbecue, and watching the beautiful scenery outside the cave, for this group of non-humans, it can really be regarded as a fairy day!
Three days later, in the middle of the night, a wolf's howl was heard in the distance, as if the wolf was gathering their team.
Fortunately, Hongxia'er took precautions in advance, and removed the wooden bridge every evening.
At this moment, as soon as she heard the howl of the wolves, Hongxia'er called everyone to get up and prepare for battle.
Soon, on the flat ground in front of the trench outside the cave, a pair of green eyes appeared one after another, and the wolves finally appeared.
As the wolves grew more and more numerous, Hongxia'er ordered the foxes to throw leafy trunk branches less than half a meter long into the flat ground beyond the three-meter-wide trench, as long as they were thrown over the trench.
As the branches flew over the trench, a hill of leafy branches piled up outside the trench.
Later, she ordered the foxes to fire resin-lit rockets at the pile of dry branches.
In the blink of an eye, the leafy branches of this hill began to burn.
The wolves didn't expect this kind of accident at all, and hurriedly retreated, but they didn't leave.
Hongxia'er had already expected this outcome.
For the wolves, there are dozens of live prey in the hole, and the wolves are determined to win, so they can't give up easily.
Faced with hundreds of hungry wolves outside the cave, she was so stressed that she kept asking the foxes to throw more branches at the already burning dry branches.
In this way, the fire not only did not go out, but burned more and more vigorously, and burned all night.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the wolves had to withdraw.
Seeing that the wolves had withdrawn, Hongxia'er ordered everyone to hurry up and eat and sleep.
In the afternoon, after the wooden bridge had been erected, she led them to the flat ground outside the trench and told them to break away the snow to reveal the leafy branches that had accumulated before the snow fell.
Then, move the dug leafy branches to the front of the trench about fifty meters away, and put some dry branches in the holes in these branches.
At the same time, the red-haired father led the team to see which traps had killed the wild wolves, and to bring the dead wolves back to the cave so that they could be skinned and roasted and eaten.
When they were done, they all withdrew to the cave and the wooden bridge at the same time.
Late that night, the wolves were unwilling to accept last night's defeat and made a comeback.
Similar to last night's battle began, and with the addition of firewood from outside the cave, Hongxia'er felt less stressed, and she began to just fire rockets at the foxes at the pile of branches outside the trench, and when they saw that the firewood was almost finished, she asked them to throw new firewood.
At the same time, she asked the paparazzi, who did not have a combat mission, to continue to sleep, and tomorrow there will be tasks handed over to them during the day.
The night passed without danger.
After dawn, Hongxia'er asked the fox, who had been tired all night, to sleep after eating the wolf meat pulled back yesterday, while the paparazzi went to the mountains and forests to find some bits and pieces of branches and leaves and bite off some small trees after eating wolf meat.
In this way, Hongxia'er commanded everyone to fight the wolves for three nights in a row, and finally made the wolves completely disappointed and retreated.
The wolves did not retreat, and they were besieged here for three nights, and not a single hair was in their mouths.
They have been hungry for at least three days and three nights, and if they don't find anything to eat in this icy and snowy land, there will inevitably be civil strife in the wolf pack of hundreds of wolves, and when the time comes, they will either disperse in a hurry, or the wolf will bite the wolf and the wolf will eat the wolf.
After the wolves retreated, the snow stopped falling and the sky cleared.
There was no snow for a while, and the weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful.
But Hongxia'er didn't let up there, she asked everyone to take the opportunity to find new firewood, and asked the paparazzi to dig a few more caves in case the wolves came back again.
However, this winter the wolves will not come again, perhaps they have found food elsewhere, or perhaps they have been too frightened by the fires of the three nights to come again.
In the mountains and forests, there are often bears and leopards and other fierce beasts in winter, but they are all individual actions not collective actions, and they do not pose any danger to the Hongxiaer tribe, and such fierce beasts do not dare to harass and send them to death rashly, they are not stupid, and they understand the truth of "outnumbered".
The Hongxia'er tribe all cats spend the winter in the cave, which is really safe and warm, comfortable and happy.
What's more, Hongxia'er was ahead of the curve and well prepared, and this winter was also the most comfortable and enjoyable winter they had ever had.
Soon, Hongxia'er's miraculous deeds spread in the forest, and legend has it that there was a fox fairy in the mountain, who had great skills, set traps, and killed tigers; Eat barbecue and retire the wolves.
The news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon the animals in a radius of hundreds of miles knew about it.
So much so that before the winter had passed, the wild dogs and foxes from the nearby mountains came to Hongxia'er one after another, and by the beginning of spring, her team had grown to more than 200.
So far, Hongxia'er's prestige in everyone's eyes has increased, and the team has expanded rapidly: the paparazzi team has expanded from the original one to the current ten, and six fox teams (two logistics teams, two cooking teams, and two archery teams) have also been established, and Hongxia'er's children have become captains.
It's not a big deal that so many wild dogs and foxes are crowded in this little room.
Everyone piles up in one place every day to eat, drink, and sleep, and it stinks all day and night, and dirty, messy, poor, and noisy can be seen everywhere, which makes Hongxia'er have a headache.
It didn't take long for Hongxia'er to realize the seriousness of the problem, so she couldn't live and work at all.
So she ordered everyone to look around for a place within a radius of 200 miles, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with dangerous terrain and a large territory.
She divided into ten exploration teams, each team had seven dogs and a fox, and also selected a more experienced old dog to be the team leader, and asked them to complete the task within ten days, and report the good news immediately.
