Chapter 16: Encountering the Wolves
It's terrible! It turned out that Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er didn't dare to look at it at first because they were afraid that they didn't go up the hill at all, but then they turned around because they were attracted by our words, and we only looked at the bones on the hillside and no one paid attention to the movement under the hillside, so that the wolves were about to come to the front and find out.
"There are wolves down the mountain!" I tried my best to warn Lu Dachuan in a calm tone, and then slowly turned around and looked down the mountain.
When I suddenly saw a large number of corpses on the hillside before, everyone except Lu Dachuan panicked, and now that the wolves are so close, I am really afraid that someone will panic and make undesirable moves, causing the wolves to attack Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er, who bear the brunt of the attack, so when they turned around, the afterglow in their eyes glanced at everyone around them, they are worthy of being experienced explorers in the wild, and after getting my warning, everyone is extremely calm, except for holding weapons, no one has any extra movements.
When the wolves found that the raid had failed, they all stopped, half-tilted their heads and pretended to be idle, observing our movements, and two of them were still lying on the ground, with their mouths wide open as if they were ready to get a good night's sleep.
Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er saw that we had serious expressions, and looked behind them with strange eyes, not understanding what was going on, and wanting to look back.
"Sister Keqinβ" I called out quietly.
Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er stopped turning around at the same time and looked at me. I made eye contact with the nearest wolf behind them, holding my breath, gritting my teeth and walking towards them.
"What's wrong?" Lu Keqin watched me walk down the hill and asked.
"Don't look back, walk slowly behind me."
Maybe my expression was too scary, Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er didn't ask why, and walked behind me with their hands.
Two or three wolves in the vicinity bared their teeth and barked at me. Lu Keqin and the others obviously knew what was behind them, and I was really afraid that they would run up yelling and screaming.
"Tap, tap......" I grabbed one of Lu Keqin's hands as gently as I could, pulling them behind my back, "Don't panic, keep going up the hill at this speed." β
The beast rolled its lips and bared its teeth in such a frightening manner that I was afraid that I would not be able to control my emotions, and I did not dare to look at their white teeth at all, and my eyes were fixed on them.
One step, two steps...... I silently calculated the distance to the hillside, felt the terrain under my feet, and when I felt that we had stepped on the hillside, I shouted "Run!" Then he turned around and pushed Lu Keqin with one hand, and pushed Lin Xian'er uphill with the other.
Lu Dachuan, Liu Fashan, and others pulled us with all hands and feet, while Liu Peng, Zhang Xiaohu, and Cai Zhengdong quickly blocked in front of us.
Behind them, my legs were too weak to stand, and my whole body trembled like leaves in a storm.
"Zheng Shuang, it's okay, it's okay......" Lu Dachuan comforted me while kicking the messy bones on the ground, trying to make a clean place for me to sit down.
"I'm not sitting, I'm going to ......" Before I could say the word pee, I felt a heat in the crotch of my pants.
"What do you want?"
I looked down at my wet trousers: "I don't want anything...... and then I didn't know anything.
By the time I woke up, it was already dark. When I opened my eyes, I found me lying in my sleeping bag, with Lu Dachuan, Lu Keqin and a bonfire sitting next to me. The campfire was roasting food on our side, and on the other side, a little further away from the fire, my pants, and my pants were roasted. A bright moon in the sky sprinkled a dappled moonlight divided by the branches and leaves of the trees.
"Wake up!" Lu Keqin asked, squeezing my face.
I touched my clothes with my hand straight underneath and was embarrassed to answer her.
"Get up and get something to eat." Lu Keqin dragged me out of her sleeping bag and whispered, "I will know that I am shy, why did I go earlier!" With so much urine, I'm not afraid to wash us away! β
I don't know why, Lu Keqin's words made me feel extremely warm this time. "Sister," I called softly.
"Hmm." She answered and watched me stop.
To be honest, she looked at me quietly, which made my heart soften, and I especially wanted to hold her in my arms.
At this time, Lu Dachuan, Liu Peng and others all came around to see me. I was too embarrassed to lean on anymore and rolled over and crawled out of my sleeping bag.
Lu Dachuan slapped me on the shoulder: "You kid really sings like a place, you can scare people to death when you are bold, and you can make people choke when you are small, and you can pee your pants and faint!" β
"Still laughing at me, who said that this rice wolf has been abandoned for many years!?" I replied to him and looked around, "Where are we?" What about the wolves? β
"It's still on the mountain, the wolves are guarding the bottom of the mountain, and we're trapped."
Next, Lu Dachuan told me that after I fainted, Liu Peng and they fired guns into the sky to scare the wolves away, and it really had an effect, more than a dozen wolves turned around and retreated into the valley, but they didn't expect them to retreat to the place where we found the mountain, and howled into the sky, and a large group of wolves poured into the valley, and the mountains on both sides were also wolf howls.
Lu Dachuan and they looked bad, not to mention that wolves are national protected animals and are not allowed to be hunted, even if they are allowed to fight hard, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of such a large group of wolves before dark, and there is no other way to retreat to the mountain, and when we climb to the place where we stayed, we found that this mountain forest is really worthy of the name of the wolf......
"Look at this mountain wall," Lu Dachuan turned on the flashlight and looked behind him to show me, "I can't go up at all." β
"So, we're finished!" I reached out and touched the sweat from my forehead.
"Not necessarily, it's hard to have a large number of wolves in no man's land now, and there must be a special reason why they are gathering so close to people now, we just happened to catch up with ......"
"Are you saying that these wolves are here for the annual meeting, and after the meeting, they will go back to their respective homes, and we will be saved!?"
"Almost," Lu Dachuan nodded, "That's what it means." β
I was about to say what I thought, when he winked at me, and swallowed the words that came to my mouth.
"Why are you so bold in the daytime that you dare to run to the wolf?" Lu Dachuan changed the topic, "To be honest, I didn't know what to do at that time. β
"You're on an expedition, and you haven't encountered a wolf before?"
"There are a lot of encounters, but they are all a group of us, and when we encounter one or two ends, we can't touch one piece, so they avoid it from afar."
"I know that because I know a little bit about the habits of wolves, for example, if you are alone in the wild, and suddenly you walk opposite a wolf, the most taboo thing at this time is to turn around and run, you stand still or run straight to the wolf, as long as the wolf is not very hungry, it will generally take the initiative to run away, but if you turn your head and run first, the wolf will chase 90% of the time. Why is this happening, I think that people must fight wolves more than wolves eat people, so over time they still have some taboos against people in their bones. β
"Isn't it? From what book? β
I told them all the things I remembered about wolves in my village from my childhood, and they were speechless.
Liu Peng asked: "What if I really encounter a wolf pat on the shoulder?" You can't turn back, you can't run yet. β
"If an ordinary person encounters this kind of thing, it will be a dead end except for someone to save him. However, there are exceptions, I have heard of a man in my village nicknamed Ertunzi, who met once when he was young, and not only did he not die, but he also killed the wolf. It is said that it was a snowy day, I forgot what the second stunned man was doing, anyway, it was very late and he went home alone, walking and feeling that his shoulder was patted twice, and the second stunned knew that it was broken, which was targeted by the wolf. But he didn't stop, and he kept going. The wolf probably thought that the strength of the shot was too small, and the two hind paws followed the footsteps of the second stunned man, raised the second stunned shoulder, and slapped one paw again. At this moment, the second stunned man grabbed the two wolf legs on his shoulders and lifted them up, lifted the wolf's neck above his head, and then pulled the wolf's legs down tightly, and pressed his head against the wolf's throat. Where would the wolf be willing, the two hind paws were lifeless on the back of the second stunned man, and in a few clicks, the second stunned padded jacket was slashed, and the flesh and blood on the back were blurred. The back hurt terribly, but the second stunned didn't dare to let go at all, and ran back desperately. When he arrived at the house, he called to open the door, and his father found out the situation and called his brothers to take out the guys and prepare to fight the wolf. The second stunned man threw the wolf on the ground and died early. β
"If there is such a person, it is too godly!"
"Don't believe it, the second stunned man is still alive now, let's go back this time, I'll take you to his house to see, the wolf skin tube is still there, and it can almost cover most of the single bed when it is unfolded."
"Good! When I went back, I invited him for a drink. β
"It's okay to drink, but when it comes to this, you don't dare to say that I said that he was stunned for a long time and a short for a short time, and I called him the second master in terms of seniority. Although he is old now, his fire is no worse than when he was younger. β
After telling some stories about wolves, many people were sleepy, after all, they had been tossing for a day, and they didn't sleep well in the small hotel last night. Lu Dachuan arranged for the people on duty at night and asked everyone to spread out sleeping bags and rest in the open space between the bonfire and the mountain roots. The first squad was manned by Lu Dachuan and Liu Peng, each of whom held a gun to guard the sides to prevent the wolves from playing the trick of sneak attack again. Since I was in a coma for a long time, I couldn't find a little sleep, so I added some dead branches to the fire and sat next to Lu Dachuan.
Lu Dachuan took out a cigarette and gave it to me, I waved my hand, and he lit one himself and smoked it. Thick smoke came out of his nose and mouth and dispersed with the wind. We all know in our hearts that the matter of wolves is not that simple, and we are just pretending to be lighthearted when we say that.
I thought about what had happened in the past few days, and no matter how I thought about it, I felt too strange: we came to find the secret of the stone saucer, and we were followed when we went out. For the sake of safety, Lu Dachuan returned the hotel he had booked and found a small hotel temporarily. In the small inn, I found a clue again, and was led all the way to this valley where wolves gathered...... Isn't it all too much of a coincidence!?
Lu Dachuan saw that I bowed my head and didn't speak, thinking that I was sleepy and asked me to go to sleep. I told him what was on my mind.
Lu Dachuan thought for a while and shook his head: "If it's really a trap, the person who sets the trap must have the ability to predict the future." First, it was my own decision to change hotels; Second, we were looking for a small hotel, and no outsiders introduced us to it. Besides, it's really a trap, what is their purpose? I am afraid that it is unjustifiable to seek money and kill people. β
"What if this bureau started from a small hotel? The purpose is to prevent us from finding the truth. β
Lu Dachuan fell into deep thought.
"Do you think, I contacted you after I found the stone saucer and the corpse, and I wanted to use the stone saucer and the corpse to gain your trust, and the stone saucer and the corpse were lost, and then I found footprints again, and I wanted to use footprints to gain your trust, and my pigs jumped out of the pigsty again, making a mess in the yard, is this someone trying to stop our operation? If so, seeing that he couldn't stop it, he simply set up a bureau in the small hotel where we were staying, and directly led us to this valley to feed the wolves. β
"If that's the case, it makes sense. However, whether it is a game or not depends on whether the lake and Zawang can be found on this mountain. If you can't find anyone, the wolves won't disperse," Lu Dachuan waved the gun in his hand, "Let's go out and go according to the original plan." β
"It's a blessing that you have guns with you!"
Lu Dachuan said with a smile: "Now don't say that we are doing the of the underworld!" β
I gave him a roll of the eyes: "What kind of person, still holding grudges!" β
"You kid is getting bigger and smaller, no big ......," Lu Dachuan made a tiger face.
I knew that he was not really angry, and was about to pull his skin again, when suddenly there was a "whoop", and there was a long, terrible wolf howl as cold as minus 30 degrees in the south from the bottom of the mountain, followed by wolf howls in all directions, resounding through the valley......
