Fang Laoqi walked up to Gu Changming and asked directly, "Do you think there will be a great danger?" Will there be wolves? ”

"This beast rarely goes alone, and you can see that its physical condition is placed there, and it is difficult to survive." Before Gu Changming confirmed it, it was hard to believe that near this kind of village, it was usually a great thing to come to Huang Daxian, how could there be a wolf pack. However, the facts are in front of us, once the night invades the village, the old and weak women and children have nowhere to hide, and the damage is too great.

"So what should we do?" Fang Laoqi's expression confirmed Gu Changming's words. The gentle young man in front of him can silently find the little four who were taken away by his mother basically intact, and there is not even a single stain on his clothes. I used to hear the old people in the village say that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, and I am afraid that this is the case with these people who came in a carriage.

"Traps were set up in front of and behind the village, and every household was told to be careful not to enter by mistake. If there is a hunter, help set up the traps. In addition, the young and strong men in the village mobilized and placed the elderly and children who had no resistance together and were cared for by special people. A few of us should be able to help too. Gu Changming said very methodically, Fang Laoqi could understand it at once.

"How long will this last?" Fang Laoqi raised his voice and shouted to a few people who usually had a good relationship, "Wait a minute, these people said that there may be wolves nearby, and they are more likely to sneak attack our village." ”

The three or four young men stopped, looked at each other, and a bold voice replied: "We usually want to hunt, but we are all petty fights, and there is not even a shortage of chickens in the village, how can there be wolves?" ”

Fang Laoqi kicked the corpse of the mother on the ground and flew up: "The facts are here, we haven't seen this thing before, it will take away children and eat people." ”

Finally, the corpse of the mother embarrassed the few people, and they agreed to help with Fang Laoqi in disbelief.

Some people went back to carry the traps, and another three or four people were divided to dig traps in front of the village and behind the village. Fang Laoqi asked the eldest child to take care of the house, and both of them rolled up their sleeves to dig the kind of ditch that Gu Changming said.

Gu Changming looked around the terrain in front and back of the village, manpower was really limited, and it would definitely be too late to dig a deep ditch. It's better to settle for the next best thing and dig three calf-deep ditches, which can at least block it for a while.

At this start, the village was brightly lit, and from time to time people came over to ask what was going on. Fang Laoqi took the trouble to explain, the more he talked, the smoother it became, and if he was willing to believe it, he sent the children and the elderly in the family to Fang Laoqi's house first, and Liu Zhuxue and Little Phoenix were responsible for taking care of them.

"These two delicate girls ......" Before she finished speaking, the snow-melting sword in Liu Zhuxue's hand came out of the sheath and slashed down, cutting off the sleeve of the man's shirt without hurting the skin at all. The man looked at the torn sleeves, was stunned for a moment, and crawled back to send his wife and children over, and consciously dug a pit.

Gu Changming asked people to collect vegetable oil and soybean oil in the village, spread thick hay under the crooked ditch, and then drizzle grease. More and more villagers gathered, progress accelerated, the first ditch at both ends was completed, and the second one was dug again.

Su Na didn't arrange a task, and she couldn't sit still in the room, so she ran out to see Gu Changming: "The Gu on Xiao Si's body has been solved, what else can I do?" ”

Gu Changming was busy directing the villagers, carrying one hand behind him, the moon shadow was like a flower, and the son was like jade. When he turned around, Su Na's eyes straightened: "I just thought that Xiao Jin has not fully recovered, and beasts are more difficult to start than humans, so I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”

Dai Guozi almost rolled his eyes when he heard it, knowing that he was in proportion and ran out to make a mess.

"You go and help the two of them, and if there is a child crying, you can have more than one person come out and coax them." Gu Changming was still very patient at this time, "Now it's an emergency, those people may not be able to understand what is going on, it's always good to have one more person." ”

Su Na's face lit up and her eyes lit up: "Yes, I understand, I'll go right away." ”

Dai Guozi sighed beside him: "Don't say it, you are really an official." The people in this village were originally scattered with sand, and the old seven families of Fang Lao were able to use it obediently. It was only a little more than an hour, and seventy or eighty percent of the people were moving. And it's well organized, not messy at all. ”

"That's the credit for your eloquence, and it can't be credited to me." Gu Changming's face sank, "Fruit, have you thought about it?" How could a pack of wolves run near such an old village and leave the pregnant mother alone? ”

Dai Guozi's smile condensed at the corner of his mouth: "The migration fluctuations of the beasts are not a good thing anyway. ”

"Someone has disturbed their territory." Gu Changming raised his arm and pointed at it from afar, "I climbed to a high place just now to see it, and I went all the way here, deep into the mountainside." If the wolves come from the mountains, it makes sense. But what happened in the mountains? ”

"I'm thinking about what will happen to these people tomorrow if the wolves don't come tonight?" Dai Guozi asked sharply, "After being busy all night, if it seems that the wife is peaceful tomorrow, how many people will insist?" ”

"I can't keep three adults." Gu Changming pursed his thin lips, what he wanted was not for everyone to get up, he had finished arranging the ditch overnight, plus seven seven eight or eight animal traps, what he finally needed was a night watchman. "I have a hunch that the wolves will come, not just to avenge their mother's embarrassment. Rather, this village is the only place where you can find plenty of food on the way through the belly of the mountain. ”

Dai Guozi turned his head to look at Gu Changming suspiciously: "You can go to the north and south of the east and west, why are you sure it's here?" ”

"Because by the way, otherwise how do you think that female embarrassment touched the entrance of the village and took Xiao Si away. Beasts are far simpler than humans, simple and crude, and foraging with the least amount of loss is the primary key. Gu Changming heard someone shouting a few words from afar, and the second ditch had been dug. With his previous experience, when he went to check, the second line was obviously wider and deeper, and the time it took was reduced.

Fang Laoqi was already shirtless, and he was so tired that he was panting: "You see that the sky is almost bright, can the wolves still come?" ”

"It's a blessing in the village not to come tonight." Gu Changming's prediction was good, the sky was dark, someone threw the tools directly, went to Fang Laoqi's house to receive the child's family, and went back angrily. It seems that most of the night's work has been in vain, and he even scolded in front of Liu Zhuxue, without a good word.

Even if Liu Zhuxue had a good temper, she almost didn't argue, and the little phoenix grabbed her wrist and pouted behind her. Liu Zhuxue looked sideways, Xiao Si had woken up at some point, rubbed his eyes and said that he was looking for his mother. The eldest sister in the family used to hold Xiao Si in her chest, and the other two Ba Ba cooked sweet potato porridge and brought it over, and when she saw Xiao Si get up, she almost hit the bowl on the ground.

"Forget it." Liu Zhuxue suddenly felt that everything was worth it, those people like to chew their tongues, don't take it to heart.

The little phoenix couldn't push away the children's kindness, and the hot sweet potato porridge stuffed her stomach and came out to find Gu Dai and the two to change shifts.

Gu Changming saw that most of the people stopped working, so he didn't stop him. At this time, I am tired enough, and my nerves have been tensed to a straight line, and if there is a dispute again, it is too easy to become a spark and out of control.

"Gu Gongzi." Little Phoenix stood there, but called softly. Gu Changming heard it clearly, turned around, and his eyes were better than the rising star in the east. The little phoenix also didn't sleep all night, and when he saw his upright posture, his whole body was in good spirits, "The Fang family's children have made some breakfast, and you and Guozi will also go to eat some pads to cushion their hunger." ”

"It's okay, you help me watch it, don't let people quarrel, the rest doesn't matter." Gu Changming happily agreed, beckoned Dai Guozi and walked towards Fang Laoqi's house.

"Would you like to go home and rest too?" Little Phoenix only recognized Fang Laoqi, his daughter-in-law was not physically strong, and she was already sitting not far away with her clothes and falling asleep.

Fang Laoqi glanced at his daughter-in-law gently, spat on the palms of his hands, held the hoe tightly again, and said without raising his head: "I still have the strength, wait for them to come back." ”

Little Phoenix glanced around, and there were less than five or six people left: "Don't you suspect that his judgment is wrong?" ”

Fang Laoqi suddenly grinned: "You are just passing-by, but you are willing to help like this, why should I doubt it?" Not to mention this night's work, I was able to save Xiaosi's life, even if it was like this every day, I didn't complain. I am like this, and so is my daughter-in-law, and we are all at the mercy of our family. ”

Someone next to him saw that the little phoenix was beautiful and good-looking, and coaxed: "The big girl doesn't sleep all night to help us watch the children, if we still talk nonsense, we still don't count as men." ”

The little phoenix smiled generously, not minding this kind of kind joke at all: "Don't be too tired, change shifts, you can eat a bite, and you can sleep and close your eyes." If something really happens, it's all up to you. ”

"The big girl with the sword, she looks like a fairy, I didn't expect martial arts to be so good. Let's go back and let her teach us two tricks, if the wolves really come, we can use them in an emergency. Someone else laughed and shouted while wiping his sweat.

Fang Laoqi suddenly thought of what was important, and his face was a little distorted: "If this wolf pack doesn't arrive, you won't be in a hurry to leave, right?" ”

Little Phoenix shook his head and said softly, "I trust his judgment more than you, he said that there will be wolves, and there will be." Therefore, we will try our best to protect the villagers, and we will never leave first. ”

Her voice was delicate and tactful, but every word was so weighty, especially the firm eyes of the little phoenix, which made the people around her suddenly increase their confidence.

"I'll go back and call someone, I can't let the big girl be more tired than us and rush before us." Someone wiped his face, as if he was moved by the words again, "This is our village, our home, and we should guard it ourselves!" ”

When Gu Dai and the two came back from a quick meal, they found that there were more people working again. Gu Changming walked up to Little Phoenix, as if he expected what was happening: "You persuaded them?" ”

"There is no need to convince, one is more capable than the other, and one is more transparent than the other." Little Phoenix pointed to a few people in front of him, "It's all said, it's divided into two shifts during the day, and you can't all be physically exhausted, so you have to make reasonable arrangements." Others said that they were going to move the rescue troops, and that there was a village thirty miles away, and that they might be able to find some more strong laborers to come over, and that they could borrow our horses. ”
