Chapter 250: The Embarrassed Ones
We all held fast guns, there was no wolf howl around, there were only eight wolves in front, not to mention the five of us, even me and Song Dahai would not be afraid, so we chased towards the mountain, the eight wolves fled directly towards the mountain, but because of the embarrassment and the injured wolf dragging, they did not run very fast, and kept a certain distance from us, but at this distance, the rifle is not easy to hit.
In this way, we chased into the mountains, and then there was a big mountain, and the moon was scattered on the earth, and the earth was bright, and we could clearly see the roads, which were not actually called roads, they were all barren slopes. We kept following the mountain road and chased it to another mountain.
The mountains in Lunan area, and those mountains in other places are still different, we have a lot of mountains here called Gu, that is, the top of the mountain is flat and wide, the cliffs around the peak are like cutting, the slope below the cliff is from steep to gentle, look at it, it is like a high mountain castle, standing in groups, majestic and steep. These flat-topped mountains, which are steep on all sides and have a flat top, belong to the table or square mountains, or square mountains, in the landform. The locals call it Gu, and the more famous ones are the calf Gu and Meng Lianggu.
There are generally only one or two roads leading to the top of such a mountain, and the top of the mountain is full of stones, and even small shrubs are rare, and our northern mountain is called Wheat Mountain, and there are many trees and forests on the mountain, and the grass and trees are deep. And the mountain behind is that kind of Gu, we call that Gu, called Bald Gu, we have often come to Bald Gu to play since we were children, so it is very clear that this Bald Gu only has two roads to lead to the bottom of the mountain, and the others are more than ten zhang high cliffs, and they can't go down at all.
This bald head is also a place with aura, a clear spring on the mountain, there were people living in the past, and then the world was peaceful, people moved down, there are many ruins and broken walls on it, all have been barren, and it has become a paradise for birds and beasts. Seeing the wolf running to the bald ridge, Song Dahai said happily: "This time they are considered to have thrown themselves into the net, they are unlucky, they can't run, Brother Chen, you and the fool and the thin monkey keep the two roads up the mountain, I and the bold two people go to hunt the fox, if the fox runs, the other wolves don't care, just kill the fox." ”
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, when we go up, on the gentle slope, we pick up a lot of branches, the wolf is afraid of fire, we use fire to block the road, so that the wolves dare not run down.
We held the firewood, when we ran to the top of the mountain, the wolves had already arrived in the middle of the mountain, because the top of the mountain was flat, you could clearly see the fox cubs, we lit the fire first, blocked the way, and then Song Dahai and I carried guns, and chased up, the stones on the top of the mountain, are flat big stones, there is not much gravel, the occasional small shrubs, are some small thorns such as sour jujube trees, we just need to walk around.
We chased up the hill, and the wolves ran up the hillside, and then the wolves ran to a narrow rocky cliff, which was a jutting cliff that jutted out of the mountain. As soon as we saw the wolves running there, we knew that now they had run to a dead end, and there was no way out, and when we went back, they ran directly into the muzzle of our guns, and this time the fox could not escape. We were getting closer and closer to the protruding cliff, and the wolves seemed to know that they were cornered, and instead of leaving, they turned to look at us, and the fox cub lay on the wolf's back, and looked at us.
The wolves came to the range of our rifles, and then Song Dahai said: "Be bold and I will cover to prevent the wolves and dogs from jumping over the wall, you shoot and kill that fox boy, your marksmanship is better than mine." ”
I nodded, and aimed the gun at the fox, but I don't know what's going on, as soon as I raised the gun, I remembered the fox's pitiful appearance, thinking about holding the fox at Song Dahai's house at the beginning, touching the fox's smooth fur with my hands, thinking about the various scenes of the fox boy from childhood to adulthood, thinking about my eyes blurred, and the distance was gray, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
There was no way, so I had to put down the rifle in my hand, wipe my eyes and say to Song Dahai: "Brother Dahai, you should fight, I can't do it." ”
Song Dahai said: "Okay, to be honest, I was a little reluctant to fight the fox, so I let you shoot, since you don't fight, I can only fight." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his rifle, and then slowly raised his rifle to aim, and the fox boy in the distance, lying on the wolf's body, raised his body high, as if waiting for us to shoot it, this is a little wrong, this is not in line with the character of the embarrassment, this thing is embarrassing, but it is very cunning, how can it be so stupid to wait for the shot?
When I was thinking about it, Song Dahai's gun rang out, and the fox boy was suddenly knocked to the ground by the gun on the wolf's back, and when the fox boy was knocked to the ground, I was inexplicably sad, very uncomfortable, I knew that I was sad for the fox.
At this time, the wolves were stunned by this shot, and just when the wolves were stunned, Song Dahai's gun rang out again, and then a wolf fell to the ground, letting out a sad cry when he was dying. The remaining six wolves were stunned for a moment, and instead of running away, they walked towards the edge of the cliff. One by one, they crouched on the edge of the cliff, and then raised their heads and let out a terrible wolf howl at the moon, and the wolf howl was like a cry, very desolate.
We don't know what these six wolves are going to do, but Brother Song and I pressed the guns on the bullets, ready to shoot the crazy wolf at any time, but the result was unexpected, only to see a wolf after screaming, stood up, calmly jumped off the cliff, this wolf may be frightened crazy, the cliff is more than ten zhang high, there are some gravel below, after jumping down, a dead end.
We haven't come back to our senses yet, the other wolf also jumped down calmly, and then the remaining four wolves all jumped down, such a result stunned me and Song Dahai, these wolves may be the foolish loyalty mentioned in the book, the master died, and he was also martyred, Song Dahai and I looked at each other for a long time without saying anything.
At this time, I suddenly wanted to see the fox, so I ran towards the fox, Song Dahai watched me run towards the fox, and also ran over, we came to the front, and saw two wolves sleeping on the ground, one was a big wolf, the other was a small wolf, there was no shadow of the fox at all, and a sense of foreboding rose in my heart.
At this time, from the direction of Zhuangzi, there was a wolf howl, Song Dahai said: "It's bad, we have been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, I can't imagine that the fox boy is so cunning, using a fake one, leading us to the mountain, and attacking Zhuangzi with the wolves, we hurry back." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly ran back, and I also followed Song Dahai to run back, and when I arrived at the intersection, Chen Da asked if we had killed the fox boy, and Song Dahai replied anxiously: "Hurry up, we have been tricked to transfer the tiger from the mountain." ”
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, the distance between the center of gravity and the ground is close when going up the mountain, and you can bury your head in the head; When going down the mountain, you will be distracted by the outside world, hesitate, easy to step on the air under your feet, you can't go straight down, you have to go down the mountain diagonally.
We finally got off the bald head, regardless of their sweat, ran down hard, our wheat mountain, although not as steep as the bald ridge, but it is also a mountain, down from the mountain, all the way I don't know how many heels I fell, to the north mountain of the mass grave gang, it is much easier to walk, it is said that the top of the mountain is more than a ridge.
When we ran forward, we heard the whole village was full of wolf howls, and the howling wolf howls made people anxious, this time the wolves were prepared to go, if they ate people, Song Dahai's sin would be great. Running and running, I said, "It's going to take some time for us to run down, as the saying goes, saving lives is like fighting fires, let's start by scaring the snakes and scaring the wolves away." ”
Chen Da said: "I agree with Brother Yang's statement, one step earlier is better than one step later, let's shoot first to scare away the wolves." ”
After speaking, he raised the foreign cannon in his hand, and shot it towards the sky, the foreign cannon was loaded with black powder, and after the gun sounded, there was a loud echo, and we also raised the gun in our hands and fired two shots into the sky.
