Chapter 70: The Wolf's Mouth Saves People
Updated: 2013-06-12
Obviously, Lin Daimo's decision was already expected by Liu's mother, and when she heard that he had decided to take over Shiji, Liu's mother tried her best to control the trembling muscles and flesh on her face, held Lin Daimo's hand tightly, and praised her mouth again and again, and there were even faint tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.
And Lu Mengjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, from now on, this family no longer needs to rely on their own strength to make a living, naturally happy to be idle, but the words are divided into two ends, although the family situation is much better than before, but since ancient times, the 'female' son who has relied on men to survive, which is not groveling to live in the shadow of others, so despite this, in order to live freely and dignified, Lu Mengjian can not relax at all, after all, what will happen in the future, it is still uncertain.
However, this news was no less than the joy of the New Year's festival for Fang Yuan and the others, this night was unprecedentedly left in the small house, the four brothers drank enough wine, chatted until late at night, and then each took a futon and slept on the floor.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when he agreed with Liu Laoer to take 'flowers', Li Dazhuang drove the ox cart back to Shita Village early in the morning, and the car carried some vegetables and 'meat' prepared by Lu Mengjian, ready to send some tastings to the neighbors in the village, and Zhong'er originally asked for leave with Uncle Qi, for this precious apprentice, Li Laoqi had already urged many times, and he would bring it back to the village when he returned to the village today.
Everyone in Shita Village knows that Li Dazhuang's family left the house because his mother did not think about it and scolded him on the street, and suddenly saw Li Dazhuang returning to the village and brought a lot of food, thinking that the Li family had made a fortune outside, so they all set up almost to explore the truth, but Li Dazhuang and Zhong'er had already made a good caliber, and never mentioned Lin Daimo's matter, and Liu Lao Er was also a person who read the book, since the main family intended not to let outsiders know, he also closed his mouth and kept silent about how people asked.
However, Li Dazhuang's mother suddenly saw her son return to his hometown and brought a lot of things, but as if she had never had a conflict, she ran to praise her son and praised her grandson for taking a few pieces of dried 'meat', seeing that Li Dazhuang did not mention the old things, but was only a little more indifferent than in the past, so she didn't care, and returned home and said that her son went out to make a fortune, which caused the eldest daughter-in-law 'wife' to get angry, and then stopped.
Before, Lu Mengjian had already agreed with Liu Lao Er that he would go back to Shita Village every five days to pick up fresh 'flowers', but this time Liu Lao Er had already packed the 'flowers' early, and when Li Dazhuang came back, he put a few bags on the ox cart.
But now that most of the 'flower' trees have passed the 'flower' time, Li Dazhuang smelled the faint fragrance of 'flowers' through the bag, and couldn't help but feel curious, so he took advantage of the time when he went back to the house with Liu Lao Er to drink water, and asked suspiciously: "Second brother, I haven't even seen a 'flower' on the way here, why did you pick so much?" ”
Liu Lao Er smiled: "Actually, there are a lot of wild 'flowers' on the mountain, but we didn't need them before, so we didn't pay attention to them, these are just some wild 'flowers', and some of them were seen on the road when I arrived at Zhong'er's grandmother's house, although I couldn't name them, they bloomed beautifully, so I picked some back." ”
Li Dazhuang didn't have much research on 'flowers', but when he saw Liu Lao Er say this, he didn't ask anymore, and suddenly thought of what happened in the Lin Mansion a few days ago, so he changed the topic again, "I haven't come back these days, what is the big news in Pulan City?" ”
"I can't go to the city for more than half a year, how do I know what happened in the city, and occasionally I know that I also heard from the mouths of the side, I heard them say that the Lin family, which was originally rich in the city, was ruined, and I don't know if it's true or not, but a few days ago there was a new thing in our village, it seems that a young man came from the city, who looks white and clean, and even told the village chief that he wanted to live in our village, and the souls of those girls in the village have been taken away in the past two days, and even the fairy has gone around the young man's yard from time to time......"
"What's this, now there are many old men in the city who are tired of living, and they all like to run to our countryside," Li Dazhuang didn't care, but said that it was a boy who was bored and came to live in a small village for a few days and then returned, so he chatted for a while, and after noon, he pulled the ox cart and slowly walked back.
Seeing that the sky was still early, he went to the neighborhood to buy a few handfuls of bamboo strips, and when he returned to the forest house, the sky was gradually dark, Li Dazhuang unloaded the ox cart and grabbed a handful of hay and put it in the trough, and when he turned around and latched the "door", he seemed to see a black shadow flashing outside, but when he looked closely, he only saw a wilderness, only the shadows of the trees in the distance, and he thought that he was too tired to hurry and his eyes were "lost" and "flowered", so he still closed the house "door" as usual, ate dinner, and slept with Aunt Li in the east wing, while Liu's mother slept in the hall and arranged simply'Bed'.
Liu's mother felt shallow, often the slightest movement can wake up, and this night after dinner she has been feeling restless, so to almost five watch when the light fell asleep, just fell asleep, suddenly heard the sound of someone outside the courtyard shouting, and mixed with a little 'messy' and heavy breathing, this sound is not like a human voice, but like the snort of a beast. When Mother Liu heard the voice, she remembered that Fang Yuan had said that there were wild things nearby, and she was afraid for a while, for fear that these beasts would break into her home, so she hurriedly got up and called Li Dazhuang over, and she was bold.
Li Dazhuang had already heard the sound outside the courtyard in the east chamber, and he felt that this matter was not good, but he did not have a weapon at hand, and when he was worried, he listened to the movement of Liu's mother in the hall, and opened the 'door' and walked out, at this time Lin Daimo and Lu Mengjian also heard the sound out of the west chamber.
"There is nothing abnormal in the courtyard, it seems that the sound is coming from outside the 'gate' of the courtyard," Lin Daimo looked out through the window paper, and saw that the courtyard was shrouded in a faint layer of moonlight, and there was nothing abnormal.
"Thank God, God forbid!" Mother Liu caressed her heart with both hands, muttering a prayer in her mouth, while Lu Mengjian gently comforted Mother Liu, lest she scare the timid old lady out of the way.
"Shhhh......h ”
After saying a word, everyone suddenly looked at each other, and when they listened carefully, they did hear a faint cry mixed with a terrible cry for help.
The people who knew about this place were none other than the Fang Yuanyu brothers, Liu Lao Er and others, but they had already known the dangers of this wilderness before, so almost no one dared to venture here except during the day. Besides, this place is remote, how can anyone run here without anything, it is not a 'lost' person who returns late to collect 'medicine'......
The sound outside is getting weaker and weaker, and the whimper of the beast mixed with it is becoming more and more obvious, everyone quietly listens to the changes outside, and their hearts are mixed, after all, it is a fresh life, if it is really eaten by wild beasts outside their own 'door', even if they live in it safely, they will not be at ease in the future, but in addition to the 'women' and children who are not bound by the power of the 'chicken', there are only two young and strong laborers, if the attack and defense are unfavorable, I am afraid that even a few people in the room will have to ride in.
In such a contradictory mood, it is inevitable that people will hesitate, but the poignant shouts come into their ears, making people tremble unconsciously. Finally, Li Dazhuang couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "That's it, I'll fight with these beasts today, if I don't save myself when I die, I'm afraid I will have a bad conscience in my life." ”
"Zhong'er's father......" Aunt Li stepped forward, grabbed Li Dazhuang, a few tears fell to the ground on the side of her face, and shook her head again and again while biting her pale lips, "How can you be able to defeat those beasts, if you have something to do, what can Zhong'er and I do!" ”
"Yes, Uncle Li, now is not the time to be rash, those beasts are extremely fierce, if you go out rashly, I am afraid that you will not be able to save that person, but ......" Lu Mengjian didn't dare to say any more, she had seen too many scenes of weak 'meat' and strong food in "Animal World", how fierce those wolves were, I was afraid that Li Dazhuang might have encountered an accident if he didn't wait to rescue that person, so the matter of saving people could not be blindly followed.
"If there is a weapon that can only play a deterrent role," Lin Daimo frowned and listened to the sound outside, and kept thinking about the weapon that he could get in his hand, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind passing by, Lin Daimo's eyes lit up, took a lamp and hurriedly ran back to the west wing, on the wall, there was a curved bow, and there were three feather arrows in the arrow basket next to it, although it had been sealed with a layer of dust, but the bowstring was still very good, but with Lin Daimo's strength, it could only be pulled open by half a foot.
Seeing the curved bow, Li Dazhuang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, he went to the mountains to hunt before, and he was no stranger to bows and arrows, even in the night, it was enough to hit the prey 100%, so he was known as a god 'archer' in Shita Village. Seeing that he had a weapon, Li Dazhuang opened the 'door' and 'wanted' to go out, but was pulled by Lu Mengjian.
"Uncle Li, most beasts are afraid of fire, listening to the howl outside is about a group of wild wolves, just use torches to scare the wolves first, and then you can use bows and arrows to deter you, if you can save it, we will try our best to save people, if it is really impossible, just do your best." After Lu Mengjian finished speaking, he handed over a jar of oil refined from the pig's white 'meat', took a piece of wood, smeared it with oil, and lit it with a fire fold, and suddenly the flames were blazing, and Aunt Li concocted a few torches, and after lighting them, each person walked into the courtyard, reflecting the courtyard as if it was day.
At this time, Lin Daimo had already moved a few 'flower' pots under the wall, and stepped on the pot Yan was lying on the wall to look out, only to see a person in the haze holding a sharp blade in each hand, leaning his back against the wall, and confronting the two gray wolves in front of him, but the person was obviously wounded, emitting a thick bloody gas, which caused the two old wolves to attack frequently.
Two sharp blades against a wolf is acceptable, but to deal with the two wolves in front of them is obviously a little powerless, and finally a wolf raid succeeded, tearing the person's right 'leg', even if the sharp blade was cut on the body and refused to let go, while the other wolf took the opportunity to pounce, and instantly tore off a piece of 'leg' and 'meat' and swallowed it into the abdomen.
Lin Daimo was shocked to see it, his hands trembled in fright, and he hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, hurry!" After that, he took a torch and fell directly outside the courtyard without holding it steady with one hand, and the face of the person who was torn by the wolf was clearly illuminated, Lin Daimo couldn't help but gasp when he saw it, "How could it be him!" ”
