Chapter 639: The Wolf Is Coming
Because of the appearance of the wolf scouts, the four of them took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, quickly cleared and expanded the area around the tent, and collected as much dry firewood as possible, plus some dry firewood they carried when they came, and reminded them of the firewood collected along the road to their wooden grids......
In front of the tent, piles of firewood like a hill were quickly piled up.
In this world, there is nothing more than danger to force out a person's potential and work efficiency - according to his wooden grid instructions, everyone worked together, and dug dozens of criss-crossing shallow ditches diagonally on the periphery, the depth is only twenty or thirty centimeters, the width is more than ten centimeters, the length is two meters, and there are dozens of centimeters.
More than two meters away from the tent, a trench was dug around the tent, only about 30 centimeters wide and 50 or 60 centimeters deep.
It doesn't need to be too precise, it's probably like that.
Qi Muge told everyone: "A bonfire, especially a circle of fire, can scare off a pack of wolves, but if the wolves are determined to attack, after careful observation of the fire, the intelligent and ferocious steppe wolf dares to break through the fire and attack." Therefore, the purpose of digging these gullies is to prevent the wolves from having a stable foothold once they decide to attack, which is enough to delay and weaken their offensive power, and can also injure the charging steppe wolves. ”
This method is crude and simple, but it is extremely practical, and it is the experience accumulated by the herders of the steppe for hundreds of years.
Ordinary people don't even think about it.
Of course, according to his Muge, there is no better way to avoid the steppe wolves as soon as possible.
But this time, Qimu wants to fulfill the wishes of guests and friends.
There was also solid alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, and plenty of ammunition on board, but unfortunately, there were only two ordinary shotguns, and it was troublesome to reload the bullets.
Wen Shuo gritted his teeth and wondered, if there was a heavy machine gun in a film and television drama in his hand......
Fuck, what a bullshit wolf pack, it's all fucking over!
Night falls.
According to his words, they simply removed the tents, drove the car to the middle, and lit six bonfires around it, and the ravines were filled with dead grass and branches, and kerosene was carefully and evenly poured on them.
Because, there is not much kerosene, and it cannot be poured openly.
Chen Shijie held a gun, and as the first person in charge of guarding, he sat on the roof of the car, guarding the surrounding darkness.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and it is paved with a layer of silver-white moonlight on the grassland, quiet and peaceful.
Wen Shuo, his Muge, and Ma Youcheng sat around the boiling pot, munching on the leg of mutton and beef. Originally, Ma Youcheng and Wen Shuo didn't want to, and they didn't dare to drink at this critical moment, but Qi Muge said that if he was really drunk, the steppe wolf would not attack a drunk person, provided that it was ...... When you are drunk, don't go crazy and take the initiative to attack the steppenwolf.
Thereupon......
Wen Shuo felt that it was still necessary for the wine to be strong and intimidating, so he had a lot of wine, and immediately drank with Qi Muge with a smile.
Ma Youcheng didn't drink.
No matter how much he trusted Wen Shuo's invincibility of the mystic law, it was difficult for him to relax and drink, and he also wanted to persuade Qi Muge not to drink - this is the old herdsman who knows the grassland and the steppe wolf best among the four, and he is also an old hunter, if he is drunk and encounters any emergency, what should everyone do? But seeing Qi Muge eating meat and mentioning the wine, his eyes lit up, Ma Youcheng sighed, swallowed the persuasive words to his mouth, and shook his head and sighed helplessly.
can only believe in Wen Shuo.
Anyway, this guy never seems to get drunk when he drinks.
The seemingly relaxed Qi Muge used to eat and drink a lot of food, and when he drank, he was hospitable and enthusiastic, and he always drank high, but this time, he didn't drink much wine or eat much meat.
Obviously, he was pretending to be relaxed.
It's just that although Wen Shuo and Ma Youcheng saw it, they didn't break it.
On the contrary, it was Wen Shuo, who drank a pound of Lao Baigan alone.
Even though he drank as much as he did, he also felt a little drunk, so he said very simply: "That one goes to bed first, remember to wake me up when it's my turn......"
Then the fat man rolled over and lay down on the mat, and soon fell asleep.
For a while, everyone didn't know what to say - everyone was nervous, but they were pretending to be relaxed and calm.
In the clear night sky, a cloud drifted by, obscuring the bright half moon.
So the night instantly thickened.
"Brother Qimuge. Ma Youcheng couldn't hold back his nervousness, opened his mouth to relieve a little, and said, "Since you agree with us to stay, explain ...... You can still be fairly confident that the steppenwolves will not attack us. ”
This is nonsense, and when he set up camp, he had already told it.
Qi Muge smiled, smoked his cigarette pouch and said, "However, wolves are beasts after all, and what they want to do will not follow our ideas. ”
"Do you regret it?" asked Ma Youcheng with a smile.
"Hmm. Qi Muge said very honestly: "Now think about it, if something happens, it doesn't matter if I die, you are all nobles from the capital, alas." ”
"It's not expensive, Brother Qimuge, you are our nobleman. ”
"Friend. The lattice waved its hand.
At this moment, Chen Shijie, who was sitting on the roof of the car, suddenly interjected: "It's not early, Master Ma, Brother Qimuge, you two should also rest, I will help you guard, I can't hold it for a while, I will wake you up, what are you doing here?"
In the past, Chen Shijie rarely spoke.
Following Ma Youcheng's side, he has always been a stuffy gourd-like character.
So he suddenly said such a thing, which made Ma Youcheng feel a little surprised, and couldn't help but smile and quip: "Shijie, are you also nervous and scared?"
"Nervousness is there, fear is not. Chen Shijie said indifferently: "I just think that in such a realistic situation, what everyone needs most is to rest and recuperate, after all, not only tonight, we still have a lot to do tomorrow." ”
Ma Youcheng was stunned, and then nodded.
Qi Muge whispered: "This brother is very powerful?"
"Very powerful. ”
"Oh. ”
"Sleep. ”
"Hmm. ”
......
said that he wanted to sleep, but Ma Youcheng and his wooden grid, how could he fall asleep as quickly as Wen Shuo in a short period of time?
The two could only force themselves to sleep with their eyes closed, and they were embarrassed to turn over and over, and they forcibly maintained a flat lying position, just like this - on the roof of the off-road vehicle, Chen Shijie was holding a double-barreled shotgun, his expression was calm, and he was not so nervous that he looked around frequently, but like a sculpture, motionless, his eyes were calm and deep, and he only occasionally twisted his neck, and his eyes glanced around.
The moon came out from behind the clouds and shed a light as clear as frost.
In the quiet field, all kinds of unknown insects are tirelessly calling in the grass, intertwined, and they rise and fall melodiously, like a lullaby.
It also seems to be more quiet and serene in the grassland.
Time, as if it had become much thicker, flowed very slowly, very slowly.
Chen Shijie did not have the slightest sleepiness, this kind of boring waiting, for him as commonplace, the experience and training in the army, so that he can have several times more energy than ordinary people, but also in the state of maintaining a high degree of vigilance, can still be able to enter a special state of rest - elite snipers, can lie motionless in the ambush site for two days and two nights, but also can maintain a high degree of vigilance, will not miss a fleeting opportunity.
In the middle of the night.
Chen Shijie noticed movement in the grass in the distance.
The moonlight seemed to dim a lot, so in the darkness, the strange, terrible, and terrible pale green light that burst out of the wolf's eyes did not last, and they seemed to know the condition of their eyes, so they would deliberately avoid being detected.
However, Chen Shijie, who was extremely vigilant, still noticed that it was not just a wolf, there were at least a dozen in the grass in the distance around, and there were also five or six steppe wolves within 20 meters of the surrounding area.
Chen Shijie kept in mind the instructions of his Muge, he only adjusted his posture slightly, so that he could shoot, aim, and shoot as quickly as possible at any time, but he did not raise the shotgun flat, still with the muzzle facing the sky, he began to keep moving, slowly turning his neck and body, paying attention to the surroundings.
"Ahem. A soft cough rang out.
Chen Shijie was not surprised, he said lightly: "Brother Qimuge, are you awake?"
"Well, I smell the steppe wolf. Standing under the car, he lit a bag of cigarettes, banging the pot on the chimney board and sparking sparks each time.
"It's okay, I've been watching, you can rest. Chen Shijie said softly.
Ma Youcheng and Wen Shuo were awakened by the crisp sound of the smoke pot slapping, and the two of them turned over and sat up, vigilantly observing the situation around them.
Because of the large number of steppe wolves that appeared in the distance and near the periphery, no matter how deliberately they covered it up, the green eyes like ghost fire were easily discovered by Wen Shuo, Ma Youcheng, Chen Shijie, and Qi Muge, so they became even more nervous.
Suddenly, a terrible atmosphere enveloped the audience.
The four of them were as if they were frozen, motionless, without saying a word, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Steppenwolves are more and more numerous, getting closer and closer.
A rough count shows that there are at least twenty steppe wolves found, not to mention how many are still hidden in the tall wild grass.
They didn't stop when they got closer, but they were tentatively moving on.
Phew!
There was a series of crisp sounds, but it was Uncle Qi Muge who pulled the bolt of the gun, pointed the muzzle of the gun to the sky, and shouted: "Lao Tzu wants to release a shot first, warn them!"
As soon as the words fell, his wooden grid pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A rough, muffled, but even more terrifying gunshot resounded through the night sky.
The lattice is shot in the sky!
The muzzle of the shotgun burst into a bright spark, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye!
In the grass not far away, there was a panic and a rustle...... Patches of dense grass swayed, toppled and messed up.
