Chapter Ninety-Two: Good Calculation

They should have had a little trouble on the way, but it's almost there now! Zheng Bang said calmly.

It is estimated that he has heard Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong rushing here, otherwise, he would not be so sure.

Xiao Qiongzhi calmed down.

She lowered her head and thought about it, looked at everyone in Xujia Village, and said cautiously: "My uncle and I rushed over when we heard the movement on your side and suspected that you had encountered a wolf. ”

"However, when I came here, my uncle told me that wolves are very vindictive."

"If we kill them on a large scale, I am afraid that all the wolves that can escape will no longer stay in the deep mountains, and they will run in groups and run outside into the valley or the village day and night to take revenge on passers-by or villagers."

"Therefore, we have already discussed, this time, we will wipe out all these wolves."

"Like my uncle just now, he deliberately just shot the little wolf king with white hair on his neck, just so that the old wolf king, after escaping with other wolves, came back again because he couldn't worry about the little wolf king."

"So that's the case, little master, you and the big hero are really thoughtful!" An old man in his sixties from Xujia Village couldn't help but be sincerely amazed when he heard this.

"Yes, the little master is simply a smart star!" The patriarch of Xujia Village said with a smile.

"Little master, I have counted carefully, there are seventy-seven in this group of beasts, and the one who escaped just now should be thirty-four."

"And among these thirty-four, there should be eleven, all of them are me and a few old brothers from our village, who have been wounded with arrows before, and they will definitely die in less than half an hour."

"Of the beasts, there are only twenty-three left." A person from Xujia Village with a bow on his back said with great interest.

"How can you be sure that the eleven, the wolves you have wounded with your arrows, will die in less than half an hour?" Xiao Qiongzhi was a little puzzled.

"Because, the arrows and arrows we used to shoot these beasts were smeared with the venom of the white snake." The people of Xujia Village, who were carrying bows, said proudly.

"The white snake is a well-known poisonous snake in Dingzi County and even in the entire Chu country."

"Its venom is very special, when humans or other animals first get it, they don't feel anything wrong at all, but once half an hour has passed, it will suddenly attack and die." Zheng Bang reminded Xiao Qiongzhi in a timely manner.

Xiao Qiongzhi completely understood.

I was both happy and sorry in my heart.

Happily, it was easier to eliminate the remaining wolves.

It is a pity that the eleven lightly wounded wolves and the five seriously injured wolves here cannot be sold for money since they have been poisoned by the deadly snake venom.

This loss is significant.

Wolf meat is definitely better than wild boar.

Sixteen wolves, even if they are an average of thirty catties, there are four hundred and eighty catties.

Then, even if you sell it at the price of selling wild boars in the county yesterday, one or three cents of silver per catty, at least it can be sold for more than six hundred taels of silver.

She thought for a while, looked at all the people in Xujia Village, and said, "My uncle and I will definitely stay, and wait for the old wolf king to take the remaining wolves to save the little wolf king, so that we can catch them all." ”

"Many of you are injured, you can consider going home first and looking for Lang Zhong to heal."

"If you don't plan to go home, who plan to stay and help us, and who can sharpen arrows, you can go and cut branches now, and help me and my uncle sharpen arrows."

A man from Xujia Village, who was nearly sixty years old, immediately said: "Little master, it is obvious that you and the big hero came to help us and saved our lives, we should stay and accompany you to deal with the remaining group of beasts, not to help you." ”

"I'm going to chop the branches and help you and the big hero sharpen the arrows!"

"I'll stay too, I'll go too."

"I'll go too."

"I can't sharpen arrows, I'll go chop more branches!"

"Then I'm going to chop branches, too!"

……

Next, the vast majority of the people in Xujia Village, including the patriarch of Xujia Village and those who were slightly injured, basically ran to cut down the branches.

"Little master, the arrows should be enough, right?" However, the person from Xujia Village who spoke just now, who was carrying a bow on his back, remained in place, and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Your arrows and arrows are smeared with snake venom, and when you shoot the wolf to death, the wolf meat cannot be eaten, it is too wasteful. The wolf that my uncle and I shot was going to be pulled to the county tomorrow to buy money, or it was better to use non-poisonous arrows. Xiao Qiongzhi said calmly.

The man from Xujia Village, who was carrying a bow, had a bright eye, and said excitedly: "It's still the little master who thinks thoughtfully, then I'll also cut branches and arrows." ”

He knew that his archery skills were too poor, and in order to shoot the wolf smoothly, Bao Cai thought of smearing snake venom on the arrow to deal with the wolf.

I forgot that wolf meat is also edible.

Moreover, wolves do not eat grass, they grow up eating meat, and the taste of wolf meat must be much better than pork and dog meat.

Last month, when he really had nothing to eat, he went to the next village with the villagers to rob and shot the dog several times.

You can shoot one or two of them each time.

It's a pity that there are many people in the village.

When it was assigned to his family, he, his wife, his three daughters-in-law, seven grandsons, and granddaughters, a whole family of ten, were only seven taels of dog meat in total.

He and his wife, considering that their seven grandsons and granddaughters were growing up, gave them seven taels of dog meat to eat.

He only drank some soup.

But the taste makes my mouth watery when I think about it now.

If they wait, Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi also shot the remaining twenty-three wolves, then, plus the thirty-seven they shot just now, there would be a total of sixty.

With so much, Xiao Qiongzhi will definitely give some to Xujia Village.

Even if it's just one or two, at least, he can have wolf broth to drink.

Soon, on the small stone slope, only Xiao Qiongzhi, Zheng Bang, two seriously injured old men, and four slightly injured teenagers who were taking care of them.

"Zhi'er, look." At this time, Zheng Bang suddenly pointed to the direction where Xiao Qiongzhi came and reminded her.

Xiao Qiongzhi took a look and found that the figures of Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong were turning out from behind a bush there.

However, the two of them looked more embarrassed.

Liu Wuxiu's hair became messy, and most of her head and face were wrapped in a coat, revealing only a pair of eyes outside.

Zhou Dayong was in a better situation than her, his hair was not messy, but he wrapped most of his head and face with his coat, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

"Aunt Liu, second uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Zhou Dayong wanted to save face and refused to say it.

Liu Wuxiu didn't care about this.

She told Xiao Qiongzhi directly: "On the way here, we saw a lot of straight fine cedar branches, and we planned to use them to sharpen arrows and cut them as we walked. ”

"After walking for a while, I found a large honeycomb on the persimmon tree next to a cedar tree. I just wanted to climb up the tree, use my clothes, and take it down. ”

"But Dayong said that wild bees are very clever, if I get close to the honeycomb, I will be surrounded by them, and I have no chance to make a honeycomb, so I have to hold a torch to burn it on the side, and wait until the wild bees are burned out, so that I can make a honeycomb."

"As a result, when we burned the honeycomb, many, many wild bees rushed out of the honeycomb and stung us. Luckily, we took off our coats beforehand, covered our heads and faces, and ran as fast as we could, so we didn't get stung by them. ”ntent
