Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Pack of Wolves
"He said, the next time you grab something to eat, I'll catch a few little black fish, let them get into your **, and eat your meat every day. I want to be free of charge - watch - end - whole version - please - 100 degrees - search - " Zhou Dayong replied.
Afraid that Xiao Qiongzhi didn't know how terrible the little black fish was, he deliberately explained: "Brother Zheng and I, there were little black fish in the upstream river where we fished for group fish last time." They don't eat anything else, they eat meat, and they love human flesh the most, and everyone in the village knows that no one dares to bathe in the river upstream. ”
"What does the little black fish look like?" Xiao Qiongzhi had never heard of this fish before and was very curious.
Zhou Dayong gestured with his hand and said: "It's a bit like a snakehead, but it's more ferocious than a snakehead, and if you bite someone, you won't let go, even if you kill it, you won't let go." ”
This is indeed brutal enough.
However, it is estimated that Zheng Bang must have let the dogs and stones in addition to scaring the dogs and stones, and fully seen the power of the little black fish.
Otherwise, according to the character of dogs and stones for stuttering, it is not so easy to be frightened.
After climbing several hillsides in succession, he soon entered the deep mountain where Zheng Bang took Xiao Qiongzhi to fight tigers and wild boars the day before yesterday.
Everyone was walking, and suddenly from the deep mountains on the left, there was a faint sound similar to a dog barking, but if you listened carefully, it was longer and sharper than a dog barking.
Xiao Qiongzhi felt strange, pointed to the direction of the deep mountain on the left, turned his head and asked Zheng Bang, "Uncle, what kind of beast is calling there?" Can you hear me? ”
Zheng Bang had already heard it, and said very calmly: "It's a wolf, there should be a big group of wolves, they surrounded a group of people, and there were many people in that group, there should be twenty or thirty." ”
Xiao Qiongzhi was startled and asked uneasily: "Uncle, judging from what you heard, do you think those people can beat that group of wolves?" ”
Zheng Bang shook his head: "Among those people, a few of them should be hunters, but they are not good at it, they are not the opponents of that group of wolves, there should already be a few people who have been bitten by wolves." ”
"Then do you have a way to win against those wolves?" Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly asked.
Zheng Bang heard that Xiao Qiongzhi had the intention of letting him go over to help, frowned and said: "It's not a question of whether you can win or not, there are too many wolves, at least fifty or sixty, they are not only very ferocious, but also very united, very cunning, and have a strong ability to besiege people." ”
"It's safest to shoot them from a tree, but I only brought twenty arrows with me this time, which is far from enough."
"If I jump off a tree and fight them head-on, I can't guarantee that I can get out of the way."
Xiao Qiongzhi thought for a while, took off the crossbow on his wrist and the crossbow arrows in the quiver on his back, and handed them to Zheng Bang: "I still have twenty crossbow arrows here, I can give you my crossbow arrows." ”
Zheng Bang didn't take these things.
He said to Xiao Qiongzhi with a solemn expression: "Zhi'er, my arrows plus yours are only forty, and in the urgency of protecting the group of people who are besieged and attacked by wolves, I can't guarantee that every arrow can kill a wolf." ”
"This means that most of the wolves are likely to escape."
"You don't know, wolves have a strong sense of revenge, since they have been active in the mountains for so many years, they regard the mountains as their territory, and now, if someone comes to invade their territory, they must be very angry, and they will attack people in groups."
"If we kill them on a large scale, they will be even angrier. At that time, I am afraid that all the wolves that can escape will no longer stay in the deep mountains, and will run in groups to the valley or village outside day and night to take revenge on passers-by or villagers. ”
"You have to think clearly, is it necessary to let the people of Zhoujia Village and the nearby Xujia Village, Wangjia Village, and Liujia Village be attacked by wolves since then?"
Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although it is cruel to see death and not save it, it is actually very irrational to put more people in danger in order to save a small number of people.
Unless, there is a way to make that group of wolves basically be solved at once.
"Brother Zheng, I also have seventeen arrows here." At this time, Zhou Dayong also took off the bow in his hand and the crossbow arrows in the quiver on his back and handed them to Zheng Bang.
Obviously, he can't be saved from death.
However, Zheng Bang did not answer.
He was waiting for Xiao Qiongzhi's decision.
Human life is at stake, Xiao Qiongzhi didn't have time to think about it, so he had an idea and directly thought of the two easiest ways.
She turned her head sideways and asked Zhou Dayong: "Second uncle, will you sharpen the arrow?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Dayong replied in the affirmative.
"Do you have a dagger or a knife with arrows?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked again.
"There are daggers, and there are knives." Zhou Dayong was well prepared.
After all, it was his first time hunting in the mountains, and he had great expectations for the results he would achieve, and only when he was well prepared would he make fewer mistakes.
Xiao Qiongzhi's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you more accustomed to using a dagger or a knife?" ”
"Dagger."
"Then give me your knife." Xiao Qiongzhi said happily.
In the world she remembers, she never used a dagger, she used to use a knife.
"Okay." Zhou Dayong immediately took off the dagger inserted in his waist with the sheath and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi.
"Dayong, I can also sharpen arrows, do you have any extra daggers or knives?" When Liu Wuxiu heard this, he asked him with great interest.
Zhou Youqian is usually free, and likes to hunt on the hillside with Zhou Dayong.
But his hands and feet are far less sharp than Liu Wuxiu's, and the arrows he uses are basically sharpened by Liu Wuxiu.
"I don't have any extra daggers and knives left." Zhou Dayong shook his head helplessly.
"I have a dagger here, you can use it for the time being." Zheng Bang had already heard Xiao Qiongzhi's next plan.
He also took off the commonly used dagger that he tied to his leg and handed it to Liu Wuxiu.
Liu Wuxiu hurriedly smiled and stretched out his hands to pick it up.
This is a common thing for big heroes, and when she uses it, she can also get a little heroic.
"Uncle, I've decided, let's go together with the four of us to save those who are trapped by wolves. At that time, you will be responsible for shooting the wolf on the tree, and Aunt Liu, and my second uncle and I will be responsible for hiding in the tree, and we will hurry up and sharpen the arrows to give you a backup. Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to discuss with Zheng Bang.
Zheng Bang did not object, but still reminded her: "The arrows are used quickly, you don't have much time, you can sharpen the arrows for me to spare." And, as I said, wolves are cunning, and once they are more than half dead or wounded, they are likely to retreat, hiding far away, not giving us a chance to find them right away. ”
"This, I've also taken this into account. At that time, after they retreat, we can tie all the wolves that remain behind, wounded and not dead, to the trees, and let them wail and attract those who retreat, and can't help but come back to save them. ”
"Those we have saved, no matter how serious or light they are, let them stay where they are, and attract those retreating wolves to come back to them for revenge."
"As for a few of us, we all secretly hid in the trees and sharpened our arrows, so that when the retreating wolves came back to fight back, you had arrows again and continued to shoot." Xiao Qiongzhi said confidently.
