Chapter 8: The Night of the Wolves
Lao Zhao and Song Jin took out their sleeping bags from their bags, said good night, and fell asleep after a while. The only thing left by the fire was the pit and me, staring wide-eyed.
The pit looked at me for a while, and said, "How nice it would be if you were a woman." ”
I scolded: "Shut up, you second goods, you can't stand on the street in this deep mountain?" After saying that, I pulled the corner of my clothes again, in case the pit is really lonely, I don't want to be bent.
The pit smirked and said, "Look at your cowardice, when did Teacher Ling even be afraid of men." ”
"I'm afraid because I'm afraid you're not a man." I replied.
"Can it be a woman if it's not a man?" Pit Road.
"Of course you're not a woman, but it's possible that you're a shemale." I sneered.
The pit was choked by my words, straightened up, opened his mouth, and didn't know how to fight back, and suddenly sat back down.
I saw that he lost the arrogance just now, and deliberately said obediently: "Brother pit, don't be angry, wait for us to go back, what kind of chick do you want to find, buddy, I'll help you find it, 7 fat and thin, tall and short, handsome and ugly......"
"Okay, okay, come on, you, when did you Teacher Ling still do pimping work." The pit heard me say this, and blocked me back with words.
Before you know it, a few hours have passed. Lao Zhao and Song came in to change our class. Maybe it's because of the excitement of sleeping in the wilderness, although I didn't rest in the first half of the night, I still wasn't very sleepy. So I let the pit sleep first, and I still kept vigil with Lao Zhao and them. Lao Zhao persuaded me to go to sleep for a while, but I waved my hand and refused. The pit was sleepy, stretched out his arms, yawned, and slipped into his sleeping bag, and after a while the sound of snoring sounded, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night.
Lao Zhao and Song Jin and I took out bottles of liquor, and drank and chatted with bags of peanuts.
I just cared about drinking, and I didn't pay attention to the woods behind me, I don't know when there were a few more pairs of green eyes, and I didn't know when there were more than a few pairs of green eyes, silently. Although I haven't actually encountered it, based on what I've learned from books, I know it's a wolf.
I subconsciously clenched the old gun beside me, and motioned to Lao Zhao with my eyes. Lao Zhao saw that I was acting strangely, and he turned his head to peek into the woods in understanding, and said, "Wolves, it seems that there are about ten." ”
Sure enough, I guessed it, and I didn't expect to sleep in the wild on the first day, and I was targeted by wolves. It's really unfavorable, I met a python during the day, and a wolf pack at night, so if I continue to calculate like this, I will not meet a tiger tomorrow.
Lao Zhao made a gesture to remind Song Jin to be careful, Song Jin was not stupid, took out a dagger from his waist and held it horizontally in his hand.
The most troublesome thing now is how to notify the pit, the pit will still be asleep, maybe still dating the little lady in a dream, and I don't know where we are now. Rushing to wake him up caused a huge reaction, and I am afraid that it will irritate the wolves.
The reason why the wolves are not attacking now is that they are not completely sure that they will have a chance to succeed in one fell swoop, and secondly, because our campfires make them timid, and they dare not move forward to a certain extent. But if you are strongly stimulated, you must attack immediately if you can't keep it.
Although it is safe for now, if we continue to consume it like this, it is tantamount to sitting still. We have limited dry firewood, and it is impossible to sustain a huge fire burning violently all the time. And once the wolves decide to attack, it can't be stopped by this one fire.
The first priority is that I must find a way to wake up the pit. I rubbed against the sleeping bag, stretched out my foot and kicked him gently, and the pit snorted, rolled over and went back to sleep, as if I didn't feel it. Seeing that it didn't work, I kicked it a little harder, but I didn't expect that this time there would be no reaction at all. I had no choice but to take the risk of moving closer and reaching out to pat him on the face, this time it was a bit heavy, and it made a sound. But fortunately, this time it was not in vain, and a spirit in the pit woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to scold, I stretched out a hand to cover his mouth, and made one hand to his mouth to make a "shhh" shape.
I pointed to the woods behind me, and the pit looked down my hand and saw the presence of wolves. This thing was about to be copied when he got up, and I pressed him hard, signaling him not to be impulsive. Now we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and we must not act rashly until we have found out the enemy's situation.
Under my guidance, the pit gently climbed out of the sleeping bag, and the two of us gently moved to the side of the fire and gathered together with Lao Zhao and Song Jin.
Lao Zhao saw us coming and said, "Now we are already in the encirclement of the wolves, and if we want to survive, we must break out of the encirclement." ”
We nodded, indicating that everything was arranged by Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao asked Song Jin to add some dry wood to the fire, and the fire suddenly brightened a lot.
By the light of the fire, Lao Zhao looked around, and then drew a simple diagram on the ground with a dagger.
The circle in the middle of the picture represents the fire we are on, and next to the circle are a dozen small crosses to represent the distribution of the wolves. Lao Zhao pointed to the most dense place with the tip of his knife and said, "From what I just observed, the place with the most wolves is in the woods behind us, where there are about seven or eight. The grass in front of them ambushed six of them. There are also five in the woods on the left, and only three on the right. In this way, the right side is the weakest, and it is the easiest place to break through. ”
I secretly observed, and sure enough, as Lao Zhao said, the right side is the weakest part of the wolf pack, maybe because the grass on the right side is relatively low and not easy to hide, so only a small part of the ambush is laid.
So we discussed, although our fire is still burning, but after all, it will not last long. If the wolves hold on, unless we have enough gas to burn. Otherwise, there is only a way out of the encirclement, and maybe there is still a way to survive.
I looked at my watch, and it was half past one in the morning. It was completely dawn, and it would take at least five to six hours. Obviously, we didn't make it that time.
The pit expressed his position, while he was still awake at this time, he did what he said. I said, a pit is a pit, can it be that he can still sleep? We're surrounded by timberwolves, not watchdogs.
However, there is some truth in what the pit said, since sooner or later it is necessary to break through, it is better to take advantage of its unpreparedness, strike first to cure the wolves, and make a sudden attack to break through the wolves.
As soon as the four of them discussed, they decided to immediately break through to the right of the weakest part of the wolf pack. What happened after that made me realize that we underestimated the wolf as a beast, and that there are other reasons why the right side is weak, so I won't mention it here.
Lao Zhao and I each have an imitation pistol, and the pit mobile phone is an old gun, but it can only be activated once and has to be loaded, only Song Jin only has a dagger in his hand. I wanted to give Song Jin my pistol, but he raised the dagger in his hand and refused.
With everything ready, we started running to the right together. The two wolves we encountered were killed by me and Lao Zhao with pistols at close range.
The wolves immediately began to pursue, apparently the power of the pistol did not make them timid. Behind us there was the sound of wolves rushing through the grass, and we had to run like crazy.
As the sound got closer, I could almost feel the hot breath coming out of the wolf's mouth. Song Jin turned around suddenly, threw the torch he pulled out of the fire to the back and shouted: Brother Keng, it's up to you! The pit responded: Here it is! , where the firelight illuminated, the wolves followed closely behind, the pit turned around, only to hear the sound of "tom", the old gun sprayed out half a meter of fire snakes, and the iron sand bombs flew like raindrops to the densest place of the wolves, accompanied by a wail, four or five wolves have been killed.
The old gun is really a big killer at close range, and it would be more practical if it could be fired continuously. Although they were partially killed, the pursuit of the wolves did not stop. I returned and shot at the wolves with my pistol, but because I was on the move, several shots went out and only one shot.
Compared with me, Lao Zhao is much calmer, looking back at the wolves while running, and seems to be deliberately slowing down, and when the wolves are chasing very close, he will send it back to the west with a shot. I didn't expect Lao Zhao to have these two moments, if it weren't for this situation, I really wouldn't have seen it.
Song Jin has been running forward since throwing away the torch, although in this complicated terrain, his speed has not slowed down, and he has always kept a certain distance from the wolf behind him. And I don't think he's doing his best, he's not running for his life at all, he's walking a wolf.
The wolves were always chasing after us, and some of the fast ones were already in line with us, but fortunately they didn't pounce.
I was chased by wolves like this, and I don't know how far I ran. But I did run for a long time, because I felt like the sky was starting to get bright. Or maybe it's my delusion. Although there were many trees around us that affected our speed, we were lucky to run all the way, and the grass under our feet was not very high. It's just that this road has been a bit steep and more strengering.
Slowly, I felt that the wolves were getting farther and farther away from us, and I was secretly happy in my heart, I was dumped so easily, and the timberwolves were just like that! The pit also seemed to have been discovered, and shouted: "Come on, wolf cub, run a marathon with your master, I'll run you to death!" "Actually, we are already tired, me and the pit, as well as Lao Zhao, are already out of breath. If it weren't for the wolf chasing after me, I really wouldn't be able to sit down.
I was thinking about it when suddenly a figure appeared in front of me, and I didn't have time to brake, so I hit it directly, but I was immediately pushed by a hand. I froze and looked, it turned out to be Song Jin. was also dragged by Song Jin and the pit, but because the inertia of the pit was too large, the clothes were torn. Lao Zhao also stopped a few meters away.
The pit hurriedly said: "You are stupid, why don't you run and catch up with the wolf and make us human sashimi?" ”
Song Jin not only replied slowly: "You don't have to run, you can't run, ten meters in front of you, it's a cliff." ”
Lao Zhao also snorted, which was considered to confirm that the situation was true. I raised the bright flashlight in my hand and swept back, and more than a dozen wolves surrounded me unhurriedly.
Until this moment I didn't know that I underestimated this group of wolf cubs, the reason why the wolves opened the gap on the right side is to drive us to the cliff, as long as we get to the edge of the cliff, we will have no way out, then the wolves will attack again, the chance of success is naturally much greater, to put it mildly, we are now caught by the wolves in the urn, it has always been the hunter to dig a trap for the hunter, today we also fell into the trap of the prey.
At this moment, after running for a long time, we still have too much strength to resist. The wolves gradually surrounded it, narrowing the encirclement little by little. The pit was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, holding an uncharged old gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Don't come, don't come, Lao Tzu has a gun." ”
The wolves ignored this, as if they knew that the guns in the pit could no longer be fired, and were still close to us. Lao Zhao and Song Jin were holding daggers and were also ready to fight to the death. FightorDie, my heart is crossed, it's a big deal, I pulled out a dagger and stood with them.
The wolf at the front took the lead in attacking, a run-up, jumping in the air, its target was a slightly shorter pit, I didn't think of this beast, and I also knew how to eat persimmons to pick up soft pinch, but unfortunately he picked the wrong object, persimmons are soft or not, not to see the size of the head. There was no knife in the pit, only an old gun, so he simply turned the gun upside down and made a big arc, and the butt of the gun smashed heavily on the wolf's shoulder, smashing the wolf that jumped in the air to the ground, and the wolf who fell to the ground wailed and limped away.
I can clearly see his stinky expression, and at this moment, two more wolves pounced on him at the same time, I shouted "be careful", the pit looked back at it was too late, the two wolves pounced in front of them almost at the same time, and then it was impossible to pick up the butt of the gun, once it was pounced, it would be more auspicious.
I didn't have time to hesitate to jump up and pull one of the wolves back, this pull changed its direction somewhat, and I because of inertia, and this wolf rolled together, the wolf with a big mouth, biting me, the distance between us was too close, I simply put my head directly on his neck, so that the distance was too close, I saw it open its mouth but helpless against me, only hated that it itself did not have a long neck like a giraffe, and could bend over and bite me.
"Don't be a beast in the next life." I muttered a sentence in my mouth, and a knife stabbed it in the chest, and a stream of blood spurted out, and the wolf howled, and then my whole body softened, and I let go of the hand that was holding it, pulled out the knife in my chest, and kicked the wolf corpse away, and my body was splashed with blood. Look at the pit again, because he was pounced on by another wolf, the left shoulder was already bleeding, the sleeve of the clothes was also torn off, and the blood flowed all over the arm, at this time he was holding a gun, smashing the wolf with the butt of the gun, it is estimated that the wolf was flashed by him when he pounced on it, and the rear was exposed to the pit, the pit did not smash the wolf's head or body, or specially picked up the wolf's hind legs to smash, scolding while smashing: "I let you pounce, break your legs, I see how you pounce." The wolf's wail continued, and it was ruthless, and it was estimated that the wolf's hind leg bones had already been smashed and shattered, and this pain could be imagined.
And Lao Zhao and Song Jin were also attacked almost at the same time, Lao Zhao's body dodged left and right, Lao Zhao, who seemed to be slightly obese, couldn't imagine that his body was so flexible, every bite of the wolf was cleverly dodged by him, and the steps were not panicked, just like that, one step at a time, the wolf's attack was resolved invisibly, this scene can only make me think of a kind of kung fu called Qiankun Shift, but that is all in the novel, Lao Zhao's kung fu is Tai Chi, the master is deeply hidden. Contrary to Lao Zhao is Song Jin, he is not like Lao Zhao to dodge the wolf's attack, but he seems to be able to judge the wolf's next move, and then fight back, so the wolf who attacked him is more miserable, just jumped up and was kicked down by him in the air, just about to bite, he stepped on the upper jaw, the worst thing is that he was stabbed on each paw, the blood did not stop, the wolf was already shaky and almost could not stand.
The first wave of attacks was repelled by us in this way, and the wolves, unwilling to be defeated, immediately organized a second wave of attacks. This time there were more wolves than the last one, using wheel tactics, and after each attack, the next wolf launched the next attack, so that we had no time to fight back and had to deal with the next wolf attack immediately. After a few rounds, we were a little overwhelmed and out of breath.
"No, if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be consumed to death." I shouted, and I didn't stop resisting the wolves that pounced on me, and after this fight, I noticeably noticed that my speed had slowed down, and there were many wounds on my body, which were not fatal, but they were undoubtedly affecting my performance. The situation in the pit was even worse than mine, his arm, which had been scratched at first, would have been scratched even more fleshy, and the wolf seemed to know that this place was a weakness, so he deliberately attacked his arm.
The four of us retreated while fighting, not daring to fight, the depth of our activities was too limited, and if we retreated, it would be a black cliff. And at this moment, a wolf suddenly gave up the arm of the pit, and pounced on his lower defense of the lower three roads, and went down, only to hear a miserable cry from the pit, and it turned out that the wolf bit on the right foot of the pit.
Seeing that the pit was bitten, I shouted "Pit hole!" ”
