Chapter 370: My name is wood

For three whole days, the people who went up the mountain have not returned, and the villagers can't help but sit still, and some people want to ask Song Yang to send someone up the mountain again, but they are stopped by the village chief.

The villagers who have been trapped in the mountains have been around for almost a month, and there is not much chance of survival.

And the village chief didn't think that Song Yang would always let his subordinates go to the rescue, and let these officials follow the funeral.

"Oh no, the beast is coming, everyone hide it." The villagers in charge of observation at the head of the village shouted loudly, beating gongs and drums to remind the whole village to hide.

Although barriers had been set up and traps had been sprinkled against wild beasts*, the villagers were still nervous, locked their doors and windows, and hid tightly.

Looking at the extremely fast hiding of the village chief's family, Song Yang knew that the people of this village were used to such a battle, otherwise they would not have hid at such a speed.

"My lord, you should stay away for a while." Zhang Qiang chose to stay to protect Song Yang, and when he saw Song Yang sitting still in place, he persuaded him.

"Listen to this movement, it should be a pack of wolves." Song Yang frowned, "I'm afraid that the traps we set up are not enough, if we let the wolves into the village, many people will definitely suffer." ”

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Qiang somewhat understood what Song Yang meant, but he didn't know how to dissuade him.

"It is indeed a lot of adventure to let you follow this official, but this official is the prefect of the dry city, and he is the parent official of these people. You are also officials of the imperial court, and we all have an obligation to protect the safety of the villagers. Song Yang loosened his brows, got up and said: "Go and prepare dry firewood, and lead the wolves who rushed through the barrier to this courtyard, if we can't resist the attack of the wolves, don't think there are any living people in this village." ”

"But ......" Looking at Song Yang's irrefutable look, Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, we all act according to the orders of the adults, and it is our responsibility to protect the safety of the adults and the villagers!" ”

The officials are accustomed to obeying orders, and even those who are afraid of death do not dare to refuse.

What's more, the current situation does not allow them to refuse, and the village chief's family has no place for them to hide together, so it is better for everyone to fight together, and maybe there is a chance to live.

Soon, a few firewood piles were piled up in the courtyard of the village chief's house, and Zhang Qiang instructed the people to pour fire oil and pour the little remaining sweat medicine on the firewood.

As soon as Zhang Qiang finished here, he heard the shouts of the officials, and it was obvious that he had successfully lured the wolves over.

"How many sweat pills are there?" Song Yao stood at the door and asked.

"My lord, there's only this half bag left." Zhang Qiang replied.

"Go to the kitchen and find bacon, cut the meat into pieces, and sprinkle all the powder on it." Song Yang touched the dagger in his sleeve and commanded calmly.

Zhang Qiang ran quickly towards the kitchen, in order to avoid a sudden attack by the wolves, Zhang Qiang tied the door before starting to do things.

Before Zhang Qiang finished cutting the meat, several wild wolves had already rushed into the hospital, and more than a dozen officials joined forces to attack, and soon killed the wild wolves.

A wave of wild wolves had just been resolved, and the second batch of wild wolves rushed into the hospital again, more than before, although some were injured, but the smell of blood emitted by the corpses of their companions also stimulated the wild wolves even more.

In the two-on-one occupation, some of the officials were slightly wounded, but they did not lose their combat effectiveness.

Zhang Qiang rushed out of the kitchen, quickly bypassed these people, and threw the bacon out of the courtyard, as long as Yelang ate the bacon later, he would fall into a coma, so that they would have less trouble.

Although Zhang Qiang, who has the best kung fu, joined the battle, the number of wild wolves is increasing, and the battle situation has gradually changed from one-on-one to one-to-several, and there is no respite at all.

Song Yang took the torch and walked to the nearest fire, and shouted to the officials: "Everyone try to get together as much as possible and lead the wild wolf to the middle!" ”

The officials have long covered their mouths and noses, for fear that they will be smoked and become the belly of the wild wolf in vain.

Although Song Yang has no force value, he has a torch in his hand, but the wild wolf does not dare to get close.

Soon, Song Yang lit several fires in the yard, and as the fires lit, * also began to play a role.

The officials had a chance to breathe, and while the wolf was crumbling, they covered their mouths and noses with one hand and retreated in the fight.

"The injured are in the first room to stop the bleeding, and the others are on standby." Song Yang commanded.

"Your Excellency go into the house first, and we'll leave it to you here." Zhang Qiang has been paying attention to Song Yang's movements, every time Song Yang passes by the wild wolf, Zhang Qiang is scared into a cold sweat, but he is the main force of these people, and he can't retreat at all.

Song Yang knew that it would only be bad for him to stay, so he didn't advance and retreat with the officials at such a time, and pushed the torch into the house.

"Those who are seriously injured should take a rest, and those who are lightly injured should take a break and rotate with those outside." After Song Yang entered the house, he picked up the medicine bottles that had been placed long ago and helped the officials to apply medicine and bandage them.

At special moments, rules are not as important as preserving strength, let alone human life.

The officials who have followed Song Yang for more than half a year also know that Song Yang is informal, so no one is polite.

There were so many wild wolves that nearly a hundred of them rushed into the village, and although most of them came to the village chief's yard, a small number of them went to plague the villagers' homes.

Fortunately, the villagers were well hidden, and there were no fatalities due to the attack of the wolves, but the poultry of each family were not so lucky.

By daybreak, the remaining wolves retreated, and whether the wolves, who had suffered heavy losses, would launch a second attack in the night, no one knows.

After the wolves retreated, the villagers also walked out of their homes one after another, knowing that it was Song Yang and the officials who were desperately protecting them, and they were all moved.

After eating a hot breakfast, Song Xingchen said to Zhang Qiang: "It's not far from here to the nearest town, you take two people and go to buy some sweat medicine and medicine that can poison beasts and come back, I'm afraid that the wolves will come back to retaliate." ”

"Yes." Zhang Qiang took the order and selected two people with minor injuries to go with him.

"The village chief, gather all the laborers in the village, clean up the carcasses of wild wolves, and repair traps and obstacles. Wild wolves are ferocious by nature, but they hold grudges, and everyone has been careful to guard against them these days. Song Yang said to the village chief in a deep voice.

"My lord, let the officials rest first, repair traps, these things, the old people and babies in the village will do it, and there are so many powerful girls, it will not be a problem." The village chief patted his chest and reassured.

Last night's situation, although the village chief hid in the dark and couldn't see clearly, he could also peek from the wolf corpse in one place, and sincerely thanked Song Yang and the others.

Although the people who killed the wolves were all officials, Song Yang, as the prefect, was able to hide in such a dangerous situation, and in the eyes of the village chief, he was worthy of admiration, and he was the best official in the world.

After looking at the tired officials, Song Yang responded.

In the past month, almost everyone took turns to rest when they were in a hurry, and they really needed to replenish their physical strength, especially at night, and they had to continue to stay up.

"Go and rest, you don't need to do anything during the day these days." Song Yang instructed the guards.

"Adults have just recovered from the cold, and they tossed all night last night, so they should also take care of their bodies." The officials got up, bowed their hands to Song Yang and went to rest, their bodies were about to reach the point where they could no longer hold on.

"My lord, what should we do with these wild wolves?" The village chief was embarrassed to take it for himself, so he could only ask for instructions.

"Part of it is made into a dish, so that the big guys can open the meat, so that they have enough physical strength to deal with the next thing, and you can dispose of the rest by yourself." Song Yang didn't mean to grab the silver from the villagers, but after thinking about it for a while, he still gave a suggestion: "If there are people in your village who can make leather jackets, prepare a copy for these officials, and the official will pay the silver according to the market price." If it is inconvenient for you to go out and sell the skins and wolf meat, the official can buy them as well. ”

Since he came out to provide disaster relief, it would be good to bring some meat to the villages behind, although Song Yang's own silver was almost spent, this amount of silver was still paid.

Touching his sleeve pocket, a light smile appeared at the corner of Song Yang's mouth, he Song Yang was also a rich official, but now he is almost in the situation of having a clean breeze on his sleeves, this is the result of the Song family supporting him more than once.

However, Song Yang did not regret it, these silver saved so many lives, it was much more worthy than putting it on himself.

"How can the grass people ask for the money of adults? The women in the village are still very skillful, and the grass people arranged for them to make leather jackets, and those wild wolves were also taken away by the adults, but the adults saved the lives of the whole village, and we should repay them. The village chief hurriedly said.

"The heavy snow has crushed so many houses, and the situation in the mountains is not clear, and there are only old and weak women and children left in the village, only a few strong men, and there are still many places to use silver after the beginning of spring." Song Yang's voice was a little tired: "This official is here to rescue, not to exploit the people and cut off the people's way of life." If you refuse to accept the money, then let the servants freeze, and they will survive without leather jackets. ”

"Don't, we'll take this silver!" The village chief's eyes were red with emotion, knowing that Song Yang was sincerely thinking about the village, "Don't worry, adults, this jacket will definitely be made before the adults leave." ”

"It's best if you can do it well, if it's too late, forget it, it's important to repair traps and other things, human life always comes first." Song Yang waved his hand and said, "The village chief will arrange it, don't delay the hour." ”

"Hey!" The village chief answered, turned and left, but did not notice the little grandson, who had been hiding behind the door, and after he left, crept into the house.

Song Yang, who originally wanted to sleep for a while, looked up when he heard the footsteps of the little guy, but saw that the child's innocent eyes were full of admiration.

"My grandfather said that adults are the best officials, and officials are all heroes." The little guy stood at the door, but the little man said in an adult's tone: "When I grow up, I will also be a big hero, be the best official, and protect everyone in the village." ”

Song Yang chuckled, beckoned to the little guy, and took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve, which contained the remaining two pastries, which was to prevent him from taking medicine on an empty stomach, Zhang Qiang specially bought it from the previous town, and the taste was very ordinary.

"If you want to grow up, you have to eat more, only if you are physically strong, can you have the opportunity to be a big hero, even a good official must have a good physique, otherwise you can't do things for the people, and you can't protect the people you want to protect." Song Yang touched the little guy's head and said to him: "You are still a child, the most important thing to do is to learn to protect yourself, Minbai?" ”

"Well, I remember what the adults said." The little guy nodded heavily and said to Song Yang: "My lord, my name is wood, you have to remember my name, when I grow up, I will be the guard next to the adult and protect the adult." ”

"Wood?" Song Yang was stunned for a moment, his mind flashed Song Mu's appearance when he was a child, and there was a little more intimacy in his eyes, "Okay, this official is waiting for you in the capital, remember the name of this official - Song Yang." ”
