Chapter 21: To Eat and Not to Eat
Frightened by my so, the wolf stopped its strange movements, stood there with its tail facing us, and turned its head to look in our direction.
After watching it for a while, it trotted towards the position where the wolves were, ran for a while, and then looked back at us reluctantly, and then ran away without looking back.
At this time, we are more vigilant, and we don't know if it will go back to summon its companions and launch an attack.
The fat brother complained to me: "It likes to toss, you just let it toss, what are you scaring him for?" If we go back and call our accomplices, we may not be able to beat it. ”
I didn't pay attention to it, I was most concerned about the movement of the wolves, for fear that the other party would make an emergency charge, then we would not be able to parry.
When the wolf returned, there was a commotion in the pack, followed by another howl.
I clenched the knife in my hand, my palms drenched in sweat, ready for the surprise attack of the wolves.
What caught us off guard was that in the direction behind us, four blue lights ran out and slowly moved to our side.
This means that while we are engrossed in the wolves ahead, there are actually two wolves hiding behind us all the time.
My cold sweat broke out all at once, and I couldn't stop shaking. "Behind you?" I said in horror.
Yan Qiu said in a heavy tone: "Hey, it seems that our IQ has been completely played, what the wolf did just now was to attract our attention, in fact, the real attack team has already gone around behind us." In the darkness behind us, I don't know how many are hidden, we are already surrounded. ”
I turned my head to look behind me, it was dark, and I couldn't see any wolves, but I firmly believed that this must be a disguise, maybe the wolves were slowly approaching us, and they could pounce out of the darkness at any time.
The few howls in the wolves just now must have given some kind of order, and the wolves around us must be encircled, otherwise the two wolves behind us will not make a detour to our side.
My attention was immediately focused on the two wolves on the side, and as they moved slowly, my gaze followed closely.
But to my surprise, the two wolves never stopped, and they should have trotted all the way, made a big circle, as if they were deliberately bypassing us, and finally returned to the wolves.
When the two wolves returned, there was another short howl in the pack, which sounded a bit like the sound of a dog fighting for food. After the howl was over, there was silence for about two minutes, and the wolves were gone.
Seeing the wolves' eyes like blue fire, quickly moving away from us, farther and farther away, finally two clusters of blue fire stopped for a moment, and then completely disappeared in the darkness.
For about an hour, I was already soaking wet, I didn't know if I was sweating and cold, or if I was really scared, anyway, even the voice of the voice was uncontrollable trembling.
At the end of a confrontation, it made all four of us stupid, I thought it was a bloody battle, but I didn't expect it to be such a result.
I struggled to control my upper and lower teeth, which were constantly fighting, and asked others with trembling, "What's going on?" What happened to the wolves? ”
Yan Qiu said: "Why don't you go?" Do you still want to try your hand at combat power? ”
I touched Yan Qiu on the shoulder and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, how is it different from what I thought?" Why did the wolves leave? I didn't understand it at all. ”
Su Rina lay down again, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Oh, I thought I was living and dying with you today, and I really don't understand the animal world. ”
The fat brother still said very seriously: "Pull it down, you can't see it?" It was a delaying tactic, and the wolves saw that we were armed, and that their knives were so powerful at first sight that they pretended to have gone away, and hid in the darkness to attack us while we were unprepared. ”
As soon as I heard this, my relaxed body immediately tensed up again, and Surina, who was already lying down, also jumped up, and everyone began to look around, hoping to see some clues in the darkness to avoid a sneak attack.
When the fat brother saw our state, he laughed for a while, and after laughing enough, the fat brother said: "I'll tease you, see you scared one by one." ”
When I heard this, a mouthful of old blood in my chest almost didn't spurt out, and I said angrily to the fat brother: "You are really my brother, can you not scare people so much?" This is no joke, in case someone is a potential heart disease patient, and you are so scared, you have to have a heart attack. ”
The fat brother suppressed his schadenfreude, and said to us with a smile: "You think, with this disparity in combat effectiveness, the master who eats meat every day already knew it before he came." I see, these wolves are not going to eat us today. Either it's a passing by or there's something else. ”
If it is passing by, then there is no need for this group of wolves to spend so long with us, the wolf who took the lead, ran in front of us, circled, and barked, tossed for a while, is it full of food, digest food? If there are other reasons, what can be the reasons? We can't fight with them, people and animals are not on the same channel, we don't provoke them, they have little friendship with us, no matter how you think about it, it's all bull's horns.
Su Rina explained: "I can probably see that this group of wolves originally wanted to eat us, but then you took out the knife, and the wolf saw that this kid was not easy to mess with, so he started to make moves on the spot, in fact, to deploy the army." When it is back in the pack, it starts shouting at its ambushed companions to attack. But as soon as he shouted, two came out, and when he returned to the team, the wolf asked, why are there only two of them in the ambush class? The two wolves said that they didn't come out today because they both had diarrhea. The head wolf saw that it was over, and today's siege tactics had failed, so he reluctantly left. ”
I didn't expect that Su Meizi, who has always been strict, is so humorous today, and the little story made her make up a reasonable and well-founded story, which made us laugh for a while, and left all the tension just now behind.
Yan Qiu also asked, "What's next?" ”
We laughed again, and Jiang Li turned over with laughter, so annoyed that he couldn't sleep well.
After laughing enough, Yan Qiu said very seriously: "This wolf's behavior is indeed a bit strange, and we don't have an expert, so we don't understand what it means at all." I'm afraid of the wolves tonight, just to give us a warning, in case we don't understand the meaning, I'm afraid that next time it's not so easy to pass. ”
I thought back to the wolf, and it was a little hard to guess what the wolf was trying to say in circles and howls in front of us.
I said to them, "If you find out what the wolf is trying to say, maybe the truth will be revealed." ”
The fat brother began to play the role of his private detective again, holding his chin with his hand and saying, "I think, it's not that complicated, this group of wolves may have met us on the way home after being full." If it is a hungry wolf, don't say that we gave it for nothing, even if we risk our lives, it is normal for the wolf to die for meat. The wolf danced in front of us, in fact, to show off its power, to tell us that we were not afraid of us, but that we didn't want to eat it now. Later, in front of us, he called out the two wolves hiding behind him, probably to deter us, and told us that there was an ambush behind us, and we didn't find out. In short, it's a terrible one. ”
Fat brother's analysis is relatively objective, the beasts in nature will not have too complex behaviors, it is nothing more than eating or not eating, maybe today we can unconsciously escape the catastrophe, just because the wolves are not hungry, before they met us, they have been fed.
The other two also agreed with the fat brother's explanation, Yan Qiu said: "Well, I guess that's what happened, we were lucky, the wolves were full of food and drink before they ran into us." But the wolf is quite funny, I know it's showing off, and those who don't know think that this wolf also believes in shamanism, and you see its movements, which reminds me of Uncle Galu's neighbors, as if asking the gods if we people can eat. ”
"Don't say it, it's really a bit similar, especially the dancing posture, if you hang a strip of colored cloth on this wolf, you can also support yourself and change the leg of mutton to eat." I said with a smile.
After some discussion, we decided to take turns keeping vigil, with a different person watching every two hours, lest the wolves regret it and come back to us for trouble.
Originally, I couldn't sleep very much, so I volunteered to be the first, lying there and pricking up my ears to listen to the movements around me, I don't know when I fell asleep unconsciously, and I didn't wake up the second fat brother who was keeping vigil.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright, and I didn't wake up from the sun because there was a fog around me, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't see things clearly from ten meters away.
I sat up, took the kettle, rinsed my mouth first, and took a long sip of water.
After putting the kettle away, I went to see the people around me, and the three of them from last night were still there, maybe they slept late, and they hadn't woken up yet. I went to see Jiang Li again, only to find that Jiang Li had disappeared. R1058
