Gu Changming slept for an hour and got up, recovering seventy or eighty percent of his spirits, and smelled the aroma of rice at the end of his nose. He lowered his head and smiled, usually not good at appetite, it can be seen that he is extremely hungry today.
He pushed the door open, and there was a child sitting outside with his legs crossed, as if waiting for him to appear, raising his head and smiling at him. Then he stood up and ran out: "Sister Liu, Sister Phoenix, the big brother is awake, the big brother is awake." ”
Gu Changming had this sentence in his ears, but it was five or six children shouting in unison. Needless to say, he could guess that it was the quirky little phoenix who came up with the idea, and sure enough, the little phoenix rushed to him with a steaming meal: "It's all freshly cooked, eat it while it's hot." ”
"What about the people working outside?" Gu Changming eats elegantly, and he is still not in a hurry at this time.
"I've already delivered a round of meals, and according to your orders, eat the easiest and filling. In addition, many white flour steamed buns are steamed, which can be used to satisfy hunger at any time. The little phoenix's eyes were green, and she was also tired.
"You haven't rested?" Gu Changming put down his chopsticks and asked in a low voice.
"I don't care, in the past, in order to step on something, I often slept in the open for a few days and nights, and I couldn't stay up before I dozed off." Little Phoenix was just about to cheer up and give Gu Changming a good smile. He reached over and grabbed half of her face.
Gu Changming's fingers were slender and gentle, his thumb was just close to the corner of the little phoenix's eyes, and his fingertips rubbed twice in the cyan position, but they didn't fade at all, and he couldn't help frowning: "Did I say that you were so strong?" ”
The little phoenix didn't dare to move at all, probably in the most beautiful dream, she didn't dare to have such a scene, her lips opened slightly, and she became a little mute.
"You remember when I said that even if you forget what happened for a while, you will remember it one day. I've always wanted to wait for you to remember, and I don't know how long it will take for you to think about it. When the village gets through the difficulties, I'll give you some hints, can you try to remember? Gu Changming's voice was originally clear and warm, and the appearance of focusing on looking at people was even more special.
The little phoenix almost forgot to breathe, his face was red, and when he heard a chuckle in his ears, his out-of-body soul barely returned to its place. Gu Changming had already put away his hand, strode out, and waved at her with one hand behind his back: "One more hard night, I believe you will do your best." ”
Dai Guozi was already looking forward to it there, and when he saw Gu Changming appear, he seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Gu Changxing's eyes shining again, with a smile on the corner of his lips, Guo Zi was stunned: "You won't say that the so-called wolves won't come, right?" ”
"It's bound to happen, but I'm more confident to fight it." Gu Changming finally inspected the three ditches, as well as the traps and traps that were arranged, and after the reinforcements, the progress increased significantly, and even the ditches were dug deeper by more than half.
"With all this, it should be foolproof, right?" Dai Guozi asked what the other villagers wanted to ask, and a pair of eyes looked at him expectantly.
"Wolves are very cunning animals, and we have done so much that we can only resist the first wave of attacks. If a wolf falls into a ditch or steps on a trap, they will not be fooled again, but will take another shortcut into the village. Gu Changming's words made the hearts of everyone present sink.
Doing so much, is it just a hypothesis?
"Everyone is looking for the weapons they have at their disposal, and iron tools are the best, and wooden sticks are barely enough. If a wolf attacks a person, he bites his throat and tears his arm that can attack. Gu Changming's words seemed to be able to penetrate the crowd and make everyone stop and listen.
He gestured with one hand on his body: "The throat is the deadly place, protect it with all your might, and use your arm to resist sharp teeth when necessary." Therefore, the precautions of the forearm must be done well. Don't ask why it's tonight, just look up and see it all. ”
Everyone raised their heads in unison, and a full moon swayed like a silver plate, illuminating their eyes slightly.
"The full moon is also the day when the wolves are at their most aggressive. The Wolf King will definitely follow the ancient habit of picking the best moments. In fact, this is fine, there is no need to be honestly afraid. Gu Changming heard the heavy breathing sound around him, he brought hope to these people, and pushed them to the darkest frontier with his own hands.
However, no one flinched, and no one objected, and the silence was so heavy that everyone could barely raise their heads.
"Just now I was in Fang Laoqi's house call, and all the families in the village were of the same mind, sending the old and weak women and children who had no combat effectiveness there. They're just as busy here, and they're waiting for the good news to come tomorrow at dawn. After a pause, Gu Changming said in a puff, "No matter what, I believe that you will do your best to defend your homeland, and I can also assure you that the rear is safe, and they are all properly deployed, and not a single child or an old man will be harmed." ”
Even the sound of breathing stopped suppressed, and Fang Laoqi asked out loud, "Then do we have time to go back again?" ”
"Go and go back, it's already dark." Gu Changming didn't have any extra words, this sentence was enough.
Except for Dai Guozi, the others ran to their homes. Gu Changming saw that the fruit was empty-handed: "You also have to find something to defend yourself." ”
"This is a disguised count of my martial arts." Dai Guozi smiled and took the long strip of cloth handed over by others, wrapped it around his wrist and arm, turned his head sideways to his mouth to help tie the dead knot, "Don't worry, the master will definitely not lose." ”
"I have other important tasks assigned to you." Gu Changming pointed to the pile of firewood and grass that was piled high in the center of the village, which was taller than a person, and the three strong men holding hands might not be able to hold it together, "Once the wolves appear, you set this on fire to ensure that it will not be extinguished until the wolves are repelled." ”
"There's no way this firewood and grass can last all night." Dai Guozi glared when he heard this, "It's been burning for an hour or two at most." ”
"That's why I said it's a difficult task, and I can only give it to you." Gu Changming patted Dai Guozi's shoulder twice, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Dai Guozi had no possibility of refusing at this point, and secretly scolded Gu Changming in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Big deal, I demolished the nearest few farmhouses to make fires." ”
"It's up to you." Gu Changming looked resigned.
"I've taken on such a difficult task, what about you?" Dai Guozi saw that Gu Changming also didn't take out his weapon, "Your hidden sword, is it good to kill wolves?" ”
"Very good." Gu Changming replied to him seriously, "If they are lined up to fight, there won't be so much trouble." However, the wolves are cunning, and they will definitely run around, and I will definitely not be soft, killing one less one. ”
Dai Guozi tilted his head and looked at him fixedly, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Kill one less one, kill!" ”
Everyone's morale was aroused, and the cry was actually very neat: "Kill one less one, kill kill kill!" ”
Dai Guozi's smug smile didn't have time to fully unfold, and he saw that Gu Changming dragged out of nowhere, tied his neck with a woven long straw rope, and threw the other end high onto the treetop of the old tree above the firewood and straw pile. Only then did he react, why Gu Changming would place the pile of firewood and grass in this position, and the body of the mother was hanging above his head at this moment, which made him want to scold again.
"If the wolves break through the defensive line, they will definitely look for it, and the firewood and grass are burning strongly, and the wolves' instinct is not to go near the fire." Gu Changming didn't wait for Guo Zi to really scold, and explained every step of the plan clearly, "Come here one after another, just start." ”
"You're really calculating." Dai Guozi gritted his back molars, and had to admire Gu Changming. This man is gentle and polite, but decisive and cold-blooded when necessary, and is really an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. Fortunately, they are all the way, not the enemy.
"Childe, Childe, I found this." Fang Laoqi found out of nowhere a pig iron burning stick, which should have been kept for self-defense, and sent it to Dai Guozi again, "The length is enough, it won't burn your hands, and it's hot, it hurts even more to beat a wolf." ”
Dai Guozi took it unceremoniously, exchanged his hands and tried it, and it was really good: "Then what do you use yourself?" ”
"Deadbolt." Fang Laoqi found out the deadbolt that was thicker than his arm again, "There are a few houses that no one has left, and the deadbolt is also placed, all of them have been unloaded by us as weapons, this can be strong." ”
"Well done, do you remember everything I told you before?" Gu Changming suddenly heard a dull voice not far away, and his face sank, "Here, all in place." Don't panic, let alone mess up, if you can't deal with it, shout for help, I'll try my best to rush over. ”
The cry was raised again, and it was much closer. Dai Guozi touched the fire fold in his arms and confirmed that he was carrying double copies, so he was a little relieved.
Gu Changming's figure rose from the ground and stood on the highest branch of the treetops against the wind. The thin branches of that thickness must not have been able to stand up to a grown man, but he was unusually stable despite the back and forth swaying in the wind.
Fang Laoqi raised his head and was almost stunned: "Childe, Childe, he ......"
"It's a god descending to earth." Dai Guozi replied angrily, this Gu Changming chose to show off his skills at this time, if it weren't for the overall situation, he would have gone up and kicked people down on the spot.
"Yes, yes, the gods have descended to earth, we have been saved, and the village has been saved." Fang Laoqi was so excited that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground, "Everyone work hard, you will definitely win." ”
Gu Changming watched with bated breath as the rolling dust advanced towards the village from a distance, his eyesight was excellent, and he roughly counted at least sixty or seventy wolves, which was actually more than he thought, and it was mixed up and constantly changing formations, and he couldn't tell which one was the wolf king.
In fact, he knew in his heart that things were changing in the mountains, and most of the female embarrassments he killed were the cubs of the wolf king. The wolf king originally wanted to put the mother in a safe place and leave the wolf cub, but the mother came to the village and took the child, burying her life. One ring after another, it led to such a disaster.
"It's coming!" Gu Changming raised his head and roared, and the howling sound almost broke through the clouds, shocking all directions.
